CHANGE OF POLICY NOT
CONTEMPLATED IN CHINA

Pekin, Jan. 10 Prince Ching, pres
ident of the board of foreign affairs,
has assured the American and British
ministers that the dismissal of Yuan
Shi Kai means no change in Chinese
policy, but bitterness has arisen be-
tween the British and Japanese repre-
sentatives here on account of Japan's
refusal to join Great Britain in her
representations to Prince Ching. The
British position is that Japan acts in
bad faith, while the Japanese legation
explains that it agreed to concur in the
opinion of the majority and that ma
lprity of the ministers favored the TAX
ing of no action in this direction.
William M. Rockhill and Sir John
Jordan, respectively the ministers to
China from the United States and
Great Britain. expressed themselves as
pleased with the reception accorded
them by Prince Ching. They say the
prince received them in the spirit in
which they came, as representatives Of
two friendly powers He listened to
Messrs Rockhill and Jordan respect
fully, who inquired whether the dis
missal Of Yuan Shi Kai meant change
in the policy Of China.
Prince Ching authoritatiely assured
his callers that this was not so. This
assurance, it is understood, puts an end
to the bad impression that followed the
dismissal Of Yuan Shi Kai.

AUSTRIA TO PAY $1O,SOO,OOO
TO TURKEY FOR BOSNIA

Constantinople, Jan. 16.-The Turk
ish government accepts the Austro-
Hungarian offer of the 100000 Turk
ish bonds ($1O,SOO,OOO) indemnity for
the annexation of Bosnia and Herzego-
vinia, thus removing every possibility
of war. The grand vizier, Kiamil Pa
sha, received Marquis Palavicini, the
ambassador, and no.
titled him of the decision of the coun-
Gil of ministers.
The grand vizier tried to induce Aus
tria to increase the compensation an
other half million pounds, but Ambas-
sador Pallavicini declared that an in
crease was out of the question. If the
offer was rejected, he declared, nego-
tiations would be broken off.
The negotiations thus have been
successfully concluded and the points
in the agreements will be embodied in
a protocol.
This direct arrangement between
the two principals clears the way for a
conference of the signatcries of the
Berlin treaty, which, it is presumed
here, will without doubt approve of a
settlement agreeable to Turkey.
