As a matter of fact the loan was, I understand quietly concluded in London by His Excellency Chang Yla-kwan, the Special Ambassador to the Queen's Diamond Jublice, who went to England daly authorized to conclude it.

THE PROBLEM OF THE FUTURE.
VIENNA, July 28th. This morning's Neue Prole Presse pubilshas sa account of an loteresting, fatevi: which a member of its alaff has had with Margnis Ita Hirobum, the Japanese ex-Premier, who han been staying la Vienna for the past few days. The Japanese statesman was siksë, among ather things, what? er he believed that England's power in As's was decitolog, as was so frequent ly astered nowadays, and whether Russis, which thwarted victorious Japan at Shimanoreki, isreatened to become preponderant in the Further East. Is reply, the Margols salf that he had conversed with Land Salsbury and other ferding statesmen in London, but saw to sign of any spprehension on their part as to England's position in Asia. He himself wID : Ect at all disposed to think idat Rosals would sasa get xbead of England. So far as Japan WAS concerned, the English flag floated in all the harbours and the trade of otbur nations was of secondary importance compared with that of England. In answer
to the question whether Japan felt any anxiety Es to the pressure which Russia was now brlog. lng to bear upon Chins, the Marquis said that it would be a mistake to suppose that Chins could ever become a field for the exclusive exploitation of Russia. She would always have to rocken with English competition from Barms, is well as that of France from Tongling. He was con- vinced that the problem of the future would be the struggle of England and France against: Raislin lofluence in China,
Referring to the cothusiastic reception accorded to 11 Hung Chang to Berlin last sum mer and the comparative neglect of the Japanese Moltke, Marshal Yamagats, who visited the German capital at the same time, the Marquia Io said that it was believed in Berlin that China would out of gratitude open its markets to Germin fadastry. He did not bellows that this would be the case. Chlos would never volun- tarlly permit access to her markets. These could. only be conquered by force. The day might come when the Powers would decide to apply that force without which China would neveropen borguten to civilizaties, His Excellency declared ibat the between the United States and japan, which, be newspapers had exaggerated the differences
seld, need cause no uneasiness whatever.
The conversation was carried on in the English language, which the ex-Premier had Izart in England as student, He concluded his remarks by stating that he never regretted having recommended his country to follow the example of Europe, although he had been decried as a revolutionist for doing so."
