PRINCE CHING
WAS GRACIOUS
American and British Ministers
Told There Would Be No
Change of Policy.

Pekin, Jan. 16.-William W. Rockhill
and Sir John Jordan, respectively the
ministers to China for the United States
and Great Britain, today expressed them
selves as pleased with the reception &C
corded them yesterday by Prince Ching
president of the board of foreign affairs,
whom they visited in connection with the
dismissal of Yuan Shi KAT. They said
the prince received them in the spirit in
which they came, as representatives of
two friendly powers.
He listened to the ministers respectfully
as they inquired whether the dismissal
Of Yuan Shi Kai meant a change in the
policy in China. Prince Ching authori-
tatively assured his callers that this was
not so. This assurance, it is understood,
puts an end to the international situa-
tion in Pekin that followed the dismissal
of Yuan Chi Kali
There has, however, arisen some bitter
ness between the British and the jap
anese diplomatic representatives on ac-
count of Japan's refusal to join Great
Britain in her representations to Prince
Ching The British position Is that the
japanese acted in bad faith while the
japanese legation maintains that it
agreed to concur in the opinion of the
majority, and that a majority of the min
listers favored taking no action in this
direction.
The mission under Tang Shao vi. the
special Chinese commissioner now in the
United States, viii be permitted to con-
tinue on its tour of the world, but a re-
stricted schedule will be adopted. This
change is due to the Intervention of
Prince Ching, who persuaded the regent
mission. The prince at first desired that
Tang ShaO YIs credentials be turned
over to the Chinese ministers in Europe,
but it is understood that Tang Shao VI
will pass q fortnight in each country he
visits He probably will reach Pekin il
