OPENING VP OF CHINA.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. 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.
