Accord in Action. Needed Between the United States and England. London, Aug. 24.?According to tbe Speaker, tbe weekly organ of tbe Lib erais, the. at ti end e of that party on the Chinese mission outrages is distinctly in favor of active intervention. Lord Salisbury, the paper declares, should obtain an glo- American entente, an der which the first work should be tbe farther opening ap of China. The gov ernment at Pekin would be wise to ac cept foreign aid to restore order, if only to save itself. A family council of the nations could, without difficulty, sen fence Chios to tbe tutelage of a oa tive gendarmerie, officered by Euro peans This is not yet probable, al though it would be certain to benefit the central government, bat ir will come soon unless the Pekin govern ment responds to tbe just demands of the powers, Several American officers have wit nessed tbe August manoeuvres in Eng land and are going home enthusiastic for similar mobilizations annually in the United States. They were much im pressed to find at Aldershot, just out side of London, a force outnumbering tbe entire standing ?rmy of the Unit ed States. ?n thi* force were 10.000 volunteers, who are similar in all re spects to the American National Guard. These volunteers were included in ninety corps, gathered from all paits of the United Kingdom, and in the opinion of American officers, the uni form discipline and the contact with volunteers from vari* us sections of the country, as well as their association with regulars could not be otherwise than extremely beneficial. It appeared to them exceedingly advisable to es tablish an American field for manoeu vres where portions of the militia from various States might spend a few weeks each summer io service organization with regulars. If nothing else were achieved, it would, at least, familiar ize American officers with large bod ies of men. At present American of ficers, however, much theoretical knowl edge they absorb, know nothing of tbe practical handling of an army except when tbey come to Europe at their own expense and witness the annual evolu tions. The foreign office cabled last even ing to Sir Nicholas R. O'Connor, tbe British minnster at Peking, and tbe British consuls at Shanghai and Foo Chow to expedite their reports on the position of the missions. So far as tbe Kucbeng outrages are concerned, tbe officials are chary of giving informa tion, only vouchsafing to say that tbe inqury is proceeding and tbe Consul Mansfield has not applied for armed British protection. The United Press is informed on the. highest authority thai Prime Minister Salisbury bas made no approaches toward establish ing an Anglo-American entente on tbe Chinese* question. He has been all along playing an independent waiting game, allowing the Wasbigion gov ernment to lead and some time taking tbe same line. There is no positive dis agreement, but tbe dilatory, tentative style of tbe British policy prevents that harmony of action best calculated to imprese tbe Peking government. The Pall Mall Gazette gives promi* nence to a statement of a traveler who is intimate with the international con ditions prevailing in China. He de clares that tbe talk about secret soci: eties being responsible for tbe massa cre is an outrageous and gigantic mis conception. These societies, be de clares, are harmless and could be sup pressed if tbe mandarine chose to do so. Tbe officials bave ample power to protect foreigners. Tbe series of riots that have occurred since 1891, which riots have extended throughout China, means that the offi cials aim to drive foreigners out of the country The practioe of accepting blood money at the rate of ?3,000 for an ordinary missionary, with the fictitious punishment of men, is not sufficient to check the plot. If an enormous in demnity of about ?1,000,000 should be claimed followed by tbe occupation of a treaty port to collect tbe customs revenue on a refusal to pay, the Pe king government would soon abolish the system of outrages Decisive ac tion is necessary to dispel the delusion, in Peking that no power will ever deal a blow, however it may be provoked. The statement has value as indicating tbe general opinion that protests to Pe king are futile. The time is near when an armed demonstration will de inevi table.
