HOPES FOR AN ADJUSTMENT Chancellor Admits Differ- ences Among the Powers in China, has | | German | | BERLIN, March 15.—The {mperial chan | cellor, Count von Buelow, In a speech in the Relchstag today, admitted that differ- |ences of opinion had arisen between the | powers In regard to Chinese affairs, but | he hoped they would be overcome. The debate on the supplementary esti- mates for China furnished the opportunity for (he statement from the chancellor. the galleries were filled. The chancellor began by declaring that the negotiations on the Chinese question were making slow but | steady progress. Although it had not been easy to secure an agreement, owlng to the | naturally conflicting interests of the differ- eut goveruments, it has been possible to | draw up a reasonable peace program. The harmony of the powers, thus far, had been preserved and hope was entertained that the feeling of solidarity among the civil- | 1zed nations would suffice to overcome the differences of opiuion which had lately be come apparent in regard to the matters in China. The chancellor traced the deliberations of | the powers following which negotiations haa | been entered upon with China.

He suggested that the mission ot Prince Chun to Berlin was ugreeable to the emperor, but it could not occur till China tmd yielded to the demands of the powers or had given satisfactory assurances thav their conditions would be carried out. Quen of Indemuitie; The question of indemnities, the chancellor continued, offered such dif- ficulties as to have thus far prevented the drawing up of a program acceptable to zli the powers. But China had unconditionally admitted her obligations and had granted compensation. Experts had been called in to revise the methods of payiag indemnities. They were opposed th control of the whole Chinese state system and regarded the maritime duties, an increase in wh.ch was possible, as the best means of covering the outlay. The chancellor alluded to the Anglo-German agreement, saying its tend ency was to preserve the integrity of China so long as possible and top rotect German trade there. The agreement did not refer to Manchuria and did not contain secret clauses Germany, Count von Buelow proceeded, recognized that the highly gifted people of Japan had attained by their intelligence the position of a great power in the far east and that Germauy had been loyally supported by Austria and Italy, as a mat- ter of course, because of the absolutely unshaken continuance of the triple allianc Count von Buelow continued: ‘“Just as good as our relations with Russia and Great Britain, are out relations with tke United States, France and Japan. The Unlited States Is taking*ber part zealously in the negotiations, and is especially displaying the keenest interest in the maintenance of China's integrity. Between ourselves and France there {8 in China, as in most parts of the other points of the earth, no essen- tinl opposition. Our task is, amid the claims of the different powers, to safeguard our neutrallty, independence and peace and our great and lasting interests. All we are anxious for is to restore peaceful con ditions in China as soon as possible and retain unimpaired our possessions and trade interests. Wo wish for justice and loyal attitude to assuage the existing dif ferences, by the co-operation of others, to attain our common objects and secure suit sble compensation for the costs of the ex- peditions rendered necessary by the out- rage upon the law of natlons and to maln- tain the freedom of our trade.” to {BY RIGHT OF CONCESSION n Alleges Chi Now Granted It Land ed with LONDON, March 15.—A question in the House of Commons today, in regard to thc dispatch from Tlen Tsin anncuncing fric- tion between the Russlans and British there, elicited a confirmation from Lord George Hamilton, the secretary of stats |for India, who, corroborating the dis- | patches of the Assoclated Press, sald Rus- |#ia had clalmed the land in dispute by | virtue of a concession alleged to have been granted by China since the disturbances | commenced.
