THE FATE OFTHIBET.
American Government is AnxiOusly
Watching the British Treatment of
the Tfffbetan Question.

London, July 6.-The Associated Press
learns from a high British source that
exchanges Of views are taking place
between America and Great Britain
with respect TO Thibet. Being a de-
penGency OF China, the fate of Thibet
is of considerable Importance, especially
10 America, not because Americans
have any interests of value in that
country but because its acquisition by
any power would mean a violation OF
the principle of the integrity of China,
which is the keynote of Secretary Hays
far eastern policy, 20 which Great
Britain has given adherence. Mr. Hay,
therefore has watched with the closest
attention the British treatment of the
Thibetan question, and it is believed
through Ambassador Choate has de-
licately presented the possible bearing
of the British military procedure on
Chinese integrity.
1t is understood that the British gov
ernment frankly disavowed any ute
rior purpose regarding Thibetan terri
tory, reiterating that il mas no inten-
ton Of permanently occupying Thibet
and that Great Britain's motives are
those already proclaimed to the whole
world. In view Of this declaration, the
British government announced that
Brigadier General MacDonald'S eXpe-
dition was expected to retire as soon a
the purposes for which il was organ
lied have been achieved.

PARKER AT ESOPUS,
cOae Would Not Imagine That He
Was Personally Interested in the
Outcome of the Convention.

Kingston, n. Y, July 6.-To see
Judge Alton B. Parker at his beautiful
home ''Rosmon', on the banks of the
Hudson, a mile east of Esopus station,
one would little imagine him PERSONAL
ly interested in the outcome of the
national convention of a great political
party, which from present indications
will nominate him for the presidency
of the United States. In white fam
nels, he sat upon the veranda of his
home this afternoon and chatted with
his usual freedom and cordiaHty upon
any subject save that OF his own cam
oidacy.
His retirement received its first shock
when at $50 o'clock this morning an
,enterprising newspaper photographer
found him at his early morning SWIM
but the photographer failed to convince
Judge Parker of the propriety OF his
errand and the threatened photograph
WAS not taken.
Ii is understood here tonight that
while Judge Parker has no intention
Of breaking silence until formally no
titled of his nomination, he has ex-
pressed to William F. Sheehan his de-
sire that in the event of his nomination
the notification shall take place at
very early date, even within fort
night
