THE OPEN DOOR” QUESTION. | NAVAL WORK IN SOUTH AFRICA.

NO "SPHERE” TO BE ACCEPTED.. (Special to The World.)

WASHINGTON, November 6th. There is ant lacking conclusive, evidence that there exists an understanding between the United States and Great Britain regarding the share each shall have in the partition of the Chinese Empire.

Japan is expected to side with these two countries in their demands.

2. That none of its treaty rights shall in any manner be disturbed by foreign powers seizing 'Chinese territory.

It will be remembered that at the end of | ——— August news was received that Messrs.

On the proposal of the British Govern to retire by Bluejackets landed from a British

considerable hesitation on the part of the ment it had already been agreed, not without Foreign Office, to refer to arbitration the rival claims to the ground in dispute, and it was stated-in-Petersburg that bur for the accidental delay of instruction sent from here to the Russian Consul at Hankau all danger of an open quatrel would have been avoided.

8. It is hoped diplomacy will secure the con cessions asked, but if in the event it fails, other and more rigorous methods must be used.

9. Because of possible trouble the Asiatic squadron is being strengthened to its maximum. 10. It is not the purpose of the United States to seize a Chinese port or a sphere of influence, it being the intention of the Government to protect all United States interests all ports from making any comment on the matter. The At that time the St. Petersburg Press refrained Persons familiar with the intricacies of State censorship, indeed, appears to have suppressed Department diplomacy inchine to the belief that the telegram giving an account of the incident, the key to the situation regarding the intentions and the bare announcement only was made of the United States and Great Britain is rehat a dispune which, according to English vealed by the activity of two great syndicates, papers," had arisen at Hankau, was to be sub- cne American and the other British, formed for mitted to arbitration. the purpose of securing concesions from China. These two syndicates the British and Chis nese Corportion, limited, and the American Developnient Company-entered into an agre ement of Feb. 1, last.

A PERTINENT CLAUSE. One clause in that agreement is recalled as bearing as directly upon the present activity of the United States and Great Britain. It is:

"Each party hereunto shall use their best endeavors to obinin the support of the govern ment of their respective countries to the com- mon undertaking of the parties expressed in these presents, and to render all such metual assistance to each other in the furtherance of their common enterprise in the Empire of China as circumstances may require, it being the intention of these presents 'that, so far as practicable and possible, the parties hereta shall act in alliance and together in all under takings obtained or prosecuted by either ar bath in the Empire of China, whether bath parties shall participate in the business or not.

BIG FINANCIERS INTERESTED,

The promoters of the two syndicates include the Rothschilds, the Barings, J. Pierpont Mor- gan, Brown Bros., Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and other representative English and American financiers.

It is due to the enterprise of these gentlemen. according to a high authority, that the United States and Great Britain are seeking commer- cial advantages in China.

Russia, Germany France-and-Italy-have given assurances to the United States and Great

that their equal comunércial rights will be demand, forte Secretary thay desires a written agreement to that effect.

Manchuria is already virtually a Russian province, with the harbors of Port Arthur and Talienwan also in the hands of the Crar, which close whenever he is ready. Germany may controls as her sphere of influenceihe Shantung peninsula. France is the sovereign power in Tonquin and has added recently the Kwang. chau Bay in the Leichau Peninsula.

he

England, in addition to Hongkong and Shanghai, seized Weihaiwel, to offset Russia's grab of Port Arthur. Great Britain also main- tains that the Valley of Yangtse is her propet sphere of influence,

England always has been an open port, and Mr. Hay's demands are the America ahall be enabled to compete in China with Russians, Germans and French upon equal terms.

Japan will undoubtedly make common cause with Great Britain and the United States to prevent restriction of trade with China, and if the written guarantees demanded by the United States from France, Germany and Russia are obtained, Japan will immediately make a similar demand.

"THE WHOLE *** AND NOTHING

BUT THE TRUTH."

Dr. Leyds, the Transvaal Agent, is at present in Paris, where he is supplying bogus news for French newspapers. The latter are full of ludicrous telegrams announcing a succession of Boer victories and heartrending instances of British cruelties. One telegram states the stb Lancers were cut to pieces, and wounded Boers were tied to British Maxim, guns and

shot,

The Paris Figaro announces the capture of Cocil Rhodea.

...Another rumour emanating from Amsterdam sources says that a British regiment was decimated by Free Sinters. It is added that. -Goo British soldiers were killed or wounded and

that 3co liarses were captured

SELECTING AN ARHITRATOR.

It is understood that negotiations, are still proceeding between the two Governments with a view to selecting an arbitrator and arranging the points to be submitted to his decision. Further comment on the matter would, there. fore, seem unnecessary.

The. Novoe Vremya, however, takes a different view, and a few days ago published an article story. The British Ambassador, it declares. was so anxious to help the great

house of Jardins Matheson, and Co. that he came down himself to Hankau to support their claims. Finding that their claims were clearly invalid, he refused to receive the Russian Con- sul, and transferred the conduct of the affair to arbitration proposed, Merssra, Jardine and Co., Pekin. Meanwhile, without waiting for the with the help of the British Consul, mounted Woodlark, and a multitude of "peaceful" British police, sailors from her Majesty's ship British residents, ejected the four Cossacks at: the disposal of the Russians, and fenced in about a tenth part of the Russi in concession.

SATISFACTION FOR INSULT.".

This conduct, declares the Novne' Vremya," renders arbitration impossible, and makes it necessary to demand satisfaction for the insult to the Russian Consul The British Govern. ment will, says the journal, naturally order the fence to be removed, and in future Russian interests must be protected not by four Cossacks but by a gunboat. Apart from these proceed in which concern the Government, the Russian residents at Hankau must boycott British trading firms, British steamboat fines, and British Banks. They have already the bulk of the tea trade, and they can rely on the Russo-Chinese Bank and the Volunteer Fleet. They should retire from the local club, and as they are the larges: shareholders they should withdraw their money and make the existence shrink from a sacrifice in order to punish the of the club impossible. They must, in fact, not English for their insolence.""

THE HANKAU TEA TRADE.

It le probably but a coincidence that simul taneously with this extraordinary tirade there should have appeared in other papers statistica showing the great superiority of Russian over British interests in the Hankau ten trade. This trade, it is said, lies'almost entirely in the hands of seven Russian firms. Up to the middle of August there had been shipped this year to London, America, and the Continent(excluding Russia 163,394) cheets, as apainst 670,000 shipped to Russian ports. To London the consignments were 5,931,283lb, to Odessa no less than 20,836,34915,

That these figures are probably correct is shown by the memorandum communicated by the China Association to the British Foreign Office, and published in the Blue-book "China No.

1899," from which it appears that in 1896 of 4,917,000 Haiwan fals worth of tea exported from Hankau, 3,782,000 went direct to Odesia. The position of Russia at Hankau is, therefore, unquestionably a strong one.

THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN OFFICE, difficult to suppose that journal to be ignorant As to the remarks of the Novoe Vremyd, it is of the progress of the negotiations concerning the arbitration, There would seem, therefore, unless, which is hardly likely, it be intended as no valid reason for the use of such language a criticism of the methods of the Russlan For- eign Office-Morning Post Cor
