It is hoped that the firm| er stand adopted by the Marquis ?i of Salisbury during the last few > j days, which seemed to have al I ready created some misgiving at , ! St Petersburg, will have the do1 sired effect of arresting h ..o.an 1 aggressiveness, It is felt both i here and on the continent that the outcome of the dispute in regard to the new Chwang railroad ex tension, is the crucial point of the success or failure of Great Hriy tian's policy of the "open door." As evidence of the fact that Great Hritain appreciates the 0 ; gravity of the situation, the Associated Press learns that tho ^ admiralty is preparing for all emergencies; that it will soon bo ' ( ready to mobilise tho entire fleet : at the shortest notice. Kvery ? I officer and mar. on fnrlrmM. , ri" "? j half pay has been assigned to a j ship and instructed to bo in leadi s j ness to join at the earliest uio^ I ment. Therefore, practically 11 every ship in the British navy, ' ! whether in or out of commission i at the present moment, has it's 0 i full compliment of oiticers and men ready to take her out to sea ' when the time arrives. B According to Paris advices, f I Admiral Bedolliere, commanding ' the French China squadron, has cabled a demand for reinforce0 ments anil for a large credit to bo 11 applied in erecting fortifications. * The reason given for these ile0 (mands is that the natives of c j Kwang Chou Wang region aro ^ j showing signs of hostiltty.
