England is in Grim Earnest-
Naval Demonstration
London, Aug. 29 —A special
dispatch from Shanghai says it is
stated there that the Chinese min
ister at St. Petersburg has report
ed to his government that in his
opinion the Cnina question will
p ecipitate a conflict between
Great Brita n and Russia.
This state of affairs, he says, is
oving to the British ambassador
presenting a note at St Peters
burg of such a peremptory nature,
demanding freedom of enterprise
in regions where Russian influence
is supposed to prod nniuate, that
Count Muravieff cannot accept it.
I'he Chinese minister indeed ex
pects that a conflict will certainly
break out before the end of the
year.
The Daily Mail’s Peking cor
respondent says: M. Pavleff, the
Russian charge d’affaires in China
who has been appointed Russian
minister to Korea, will be succeed
ed here by M De Giera. who is at
present acredited to Brazil. M.
Pavlt fl’e removal is generally at
tributed to Great Britain’s sudden
change of policy, the object of
which was to impress Rnss’a with
the advisability of recognizing our
paramountcy in the Yang-Tse
valley.

answer to this equivocation.
