The opening of the Interior of China to modern civ ilization la regarded at Washington, snys a Journal and Advertiser speclul. as a probable outcome of the present negotiations between China and the powers. While the details are being left to the ministers at Pektn. In order to secure a basis of agreement, the in formation which la reaching the slate department and the various represen tatives of the powers In Washington in dicates that several Important steps will probably be taken. In the negotia tions now going on, which will tend to make easier the adoption of modern economic Mens in the eel tial empire. The steps to be taken turn to a con siderable extent upon the question of the payment of Indemnity, An effort Is being made by tliw United States, suri"rted by the othT liberal powers, to check the excessive demands and limit the money payment to the actual damng'-n tuff.-rd by the powert with tholr diluent and subject during the recent troubles. Notwithstanding thlt policy of moderation, lh amount to be askfd of China by all the power will be considerable ay 1100,000,000 or KOA.OOO.OOO. It may be possible to ac cept the principal in bond, but thet bond will not And a roady market un less the Intelsat I secured In some effective manner and It I understood, tacitly at least, that the support of the clvlllxej powr will be (riven for Its payment In caa of default on the part of the Chine Imperial govern ment. It I felt both by the Chinese liberal at home and by the representative of some of the power that It it not wise nor practical to force reforms upon the whole of China with a rapidity which might lead to fresh outbreaks among the ignorant clnsse )lke those which have recently aroused them against the "forvlgn devils." It It hopJ, however. In view of the representations which are reaching the state department, that the Chinese Imperlnl government will adopt a policy which will extend economic reform and open the Interior of China to the commerce of the clvlllrd powers as rapidly at advnntage can be taken of such opportunity.
