When the German fleet, a few days afier (be closing 0‘! the Hayti incident, took pOSSession of Kiao~Chou buy. in the Chinese province of Shanxung, the public men and the newspapers of Great Britain pronounced the act a folly and a ridiculous piece of buncombe; and when the emperor sent. his brother. Prince Henry of Prussia, to China. with three powerful ironclads, he was made the target of more insular wit and sar- casm. The London cgrrespondents of our own newspapers. taking their one from the English press. joined in the chorus of humorous invecxive until. as fact. but portentous. 1t, uoxmeu Inc world in terse terms that “the German and Chinese governments had con- cluded an agreement by the terms of which China leases Kine-Chou bay to Germany for a long term of years, the territory ceded embracing the whole buy. the adjacent islands and the promo ontories north and south of the en- trance. This territory. which is bound- ed landward by a range of hills, is sur- rounded by a neutral zone greater than itself, in which China can do nothing without Germany’s consent. All rights of sovereignty in the leased territory are ceded to Germany. Should Kiao- Chou bay prove to be unfit for German purposes. China undertakes to permit Germany to select another point on the coast and will take baek Kine-Chou. re- imbursing Germany for all the money it has spent there." -. “ell mtg'ht have been. 0n the con- nary. it was quite dry and matter-of- fact. but. portentous. It notified the Just as soon as the official statement here outlined had been published. the German seizure in China ceased to amuse the English press, the London Times going so far as to say that ”Ger- many. by physical force, has obtained a naval station. This isa fact that must guide other powers in determining their own policy. The talk of a lease is a mere saving of appearances. There is no? doubt that both Germany and China are aware that it is a practical cession of full sovereignty. It provides for a further argument in favor of an English guaranteed Chinese loan.” While the diplomats of Europe were discussing the German seizure of Kiao- Chou. Russia. which evidently was kept fully informed of Germany's intentions, took possession of Port Arthur and the .I.eas~Tong peninsula. the strongest strategic location on the Chinese coast; and that in the face of most-emphatic protests from Great Britain and Japan.

Great Biritain’s trade with China is enormousj and-although the ports un- der its coxjtrol have been so-called "free ports" sh has enjoyed a monopoly of both thei port and expoit movements. Should G many and Russia succeed in cstablishiig a customs system of their own in tlge ports controlled by them. English c mmerce would suffer, ma- terially. England, being above all things a commercial nation, will insist that the recently seized ports must be maintaineE as free ports. and as soon as (xeruia y and Russia concede this point all. anger of “at will be over. Looking fit the situation from an un- prejudiced point of View it seems that the fiwo continental powers will, for a timelat least, girant the concession asked by itheir insular rival. but how long theyjmay rem‘ain in such an ac- commodgting’humor is another ques- ‘tion. v i The interests of Japan and the United smes aré identical with Great Brit- ain‘s. Ambrican exports to China base been increasing in value from year to year, aqd‘the promises for the ex- pansion of our trade at all the treaty ports have, for some time, been very bright indeed. Any act which has a tendency in monopolize trade wiuhv any I section of thei Mongolian empire is, therefore. inimical to our interests, and for that reason it has ‘been urged that the UnitedStates-should cooperate w'rth England and Japan in demanding posi- tive commkrcial guarantees from tho governmenits of Russia and Germany.
