I. FAILS TO AGREE LONDON, April 8. Tho cabinet having failed to come (o n decision on tho drink question, no settlement is expected until parliament meets next week. The impression is growing- Hint tho government will content itself witli bringing in 11 measure pro hibiting the sale of spirits. Even this step will not bo exclusively a govern ment policy, smco nothing enn bo dono without consultation with other parties. Tho conservative lender, A. J. Hal four nnd Andrew llonnr Law, aro be lieved already to havo given privately their assent to whatever ncliou may bo tnken, provided no measure for total prohibition bo considered at this time. In proposing (ho prohibition of the sale of spmts nnd possibly wine and lessening tho strength of beer, Great Hntain would bo following tho foot steps of Russin, which before the adoption of total prohibition foibnde the mnnufuoturo or use of spirits. Kvou tho prohibition of traffic in spirits is not likely to ho adopted without considerable opposition from tho vested interests. Tho influence of the party favoring voluntary nb sHnenco is growing. Its latest re cruits ineludo tho liends of various churches, who havo signed n pledge to abstain from intoxicating liquors during tho wnr. Opposition to (ho suppression of (ho use of spirits is in some degrco sections, siuco Scotland consumes per capita three times ns much spir its as England and half again ns much as Ireland. Scottish opposition, if solid, might easily causo tho defeat of tho measure.

CABIN UPON PROHIBITION NO, 15 I CHINA TO YIELD ON ALL POINTS President Yuan Shi Kal SlngJc Handedly Conductinn Negotiations to Secure the Best Terms Possible Advice of Foreigners Soufltit, But No Awo Agree. I'KKIN'O, Chinn, April 8.-TI10 Chinese statesman who hns borne thn brunt of tho negotiations with (ha Jnpnncse envoys is Ynnn Shi Kui, tho president of Hie republic. Ho has carried the cntiro responsibility of the negotiations for Chinn, nnd virtonlly alone he hns obtained the best terms ho could. During those davs tho president hns .often sought foreign advice. Only this week he received two foreigners nnd wns ndvicd hy them to radical courses each diamet rically opposed to the other. Ho fol lowed neither, but continued on n course, tho purpose of which evident ly is to afford Chinn protection by continued negotiations nnd conces sions. Consequently Chinn is today dis cussing with Japan certain of the Tokio demands which she nt one time refused to consider. Negotiation AVfltclied The progress of these negotiations is being watched with the closest at tention by nil the foreign diplomats in I'ckin? and the Hritish and Ameri can newspapers published in China nro equally interested. At present interest centers in what concessions Chinn will make on tho clauses in group five of the Japanese demands. (Thcso provide for (he employment of Jnpnncse advisers by China; for Jnp nncse right of ownership to lnnd in (he interior of China; for the employ ment of Japanese police in Chinn; thnt China purchase munitions of wnr from Japan, and that she grant Ja pan railroad concessions in the east ern part of Central Chinn; thai China permit Jnpnn lo work mines nnd build railroads in Fukien province, and that Japanese subjects bo allowed to propoxate Ruddhism in China.) I'ntura Reckoning Somo foreign newspapers antici pate that Chinn will accept certain of these demnnds, but editorially thoy warn (he republic of a "future reck oning." It hns been learned thnt when China made her request upon Japan to remove her miliary forces from (ho republic, (he communication was couched in tlio feeblest mid most con ciliatory language.
