The chief theatre of action is naturally Peking, but the reports whien are being awaited from that quarter are sou expected, according to the Washing- to correspondent's dispatch to The Tater, las mouth to indicate a disposi tion on either the American or on the Japanese side to make concessions.
The extreme reserve with which the question is officially treated is the measure of the delicacy of the situation,

As the Japanese Press has voiced snch strong opposition, this suggestion of " new deal" is clearly unpalatable fo Japan, but, for the matter of that, it would be surprising indeed if it met with the approval of the American Gov- ernment either. The fact that it was made, however, indicates that if the Japanese are correct in believing that this Chinese drehe had American in- apiration, it nevertheless ran beyond anything the American Minister at Peking would be likely to have advised Ifits adoption were the only available solution, we should be cominenly near
