YESTERDAY'S telegrams tell of the opening of negotiations with the Tibetans. The warriors of the holy war "the fierce, ignorant, and resentful inhabitants of the Himalayan slopes-are said to have sud- denly realised the irresistible nature of the British advance, and to have expressed their desire to negotiate with the unwelcome invaders of their upstanding pastures. All humane folk would like to know of a cossation of the dreadful slaughter that has seemed necessary to persuade the Tibetans WAS seeking that the British Mission admittanec on real business; but some reservations appear to be necessary. Do the Tibetans really understand that the intentions of the Great White Chief are honourable; that his claims are just; and his power great enough to enforce them? Do they, in short, now understand the real position of affairs; or are they in possession of auzo gossip of an Asian cace defeating a White in the further East; and, if so, ure they (as some of the Fidian papers have suggested) misled into thinking that. the conquerors of Ind may be set at nought by them that dwell on the roof of Ind? by any chance they have got their relative position into proper focus, is it likely that they will enter into these later negotiations Evidently a gang was operating in the neigh 'marched on to, and took possession of, Chin-lion- a possible intermission during July and August, I that all the Chinese treaties with Russia becourt, and a green triangle on any of the square
