AN6L0-RUSSIAN
DISPUTE UNCHANGED
London Thinks Too Much
Made of Incident.
A MORE HOPEFUL VIEW
Official ly Stated That Great Britala
Has No Intention of Resorting to
Hostilities Whatever the Outcome
of Negotiations.
Tien Tain, March 18.—The Anglo*
Russian dispute is unchanged. The
French troops are qnieter. Over 40 ar
rests have been made.
London, March 18.—There is a dispo
sition here to think too much has been
maiie of the Anglo-Russian incident at
Tien Tsin and a much more hopeful
view of the affair is taken today. This
is aided by the statement in Morrison’s
dispatch from Peking yesterday to the
Loudon Times which is taken to mean
that the combined efforts of the allied
powers are haviug the effect of canning
St. Petersburg to check any tendency to
any undue aggressiveness on the part of
the Russian representatives in China.
The comments of the afternoon news
papers has repeated the news of the
majority of the morning papers, namely,
that diplomacy will be able to smooth
the friction. The officials of the British
foreign office have not yet received offi
cial confirmation of Russia’s alleged
backdown in regard to Manchuria Tues
day, and Mongolian inquiries ou the
subject are now beiug made at St.
Petersburg. The British foreign office
is not relaxing its efforts to secure a
more satisfactory statement of the in
tentions of Russia, bat the officials
deprecate the action of the British
press. It is officially said that Great
Britain has not the slightest contempla
tion of resorting to hostilities against
Russia, whatever may be the outcome
of the present negotiations.

of British troops and a company of Rus
sian soldiers remain encamped on either

ence of the British in the affairs of the
Russian concession, and he adds that
the siding will not be continued unless
he receives orders from his own supe
riors.

Information Conveyed to Lord Kitch

Disposed to Recommend Terms to
His Government.
London, March 19.—Some of the af
ternoon newspapers say the Tien Tsin
difficulty has been arranged.
Tho misunderstanding was doe to the
Chinese authorities granting the same
concession to two nations.
The arrangement enables Great Brit
ain to proceed with the construction of
the railroad siding, but if Rnssia’s con
cession proves to bo earlier than that of
Great Britain tho latter is to acknowl
edge the claims of Russiu.
Tile foreign office, however, has no
information teudiug to confirm the an
nouncements of an arrangement having
been reached and the officials, here are
in doubt that such an arrangement has
been arrived at. They ,say the original
concession was given up by Russia.

Tjf.n-Tsin. March 10.—Speaking of
the attack made by a number of excited
French soldiers on some members of the

Campbell says it was merely a childish
outbreak against tho orders of their own

soldiers to enter the British concession.
This order followed n request made
by General Borne Campbell after almost
every resident had complained of the
behavior of tuo French insulting women,
rclnsing to pay for parches, acting
