The final cablnel council of the parliamentary session was held at the foieljjn office and gave particular attention to the question of tho neutrality of China and British action on the Russian reply to the Knight Commando' representations. After tho council closed the emphatic statement was made that Great Brit ain feels it absolutely essential tc her own interests and those of tho en tire world that the neutrality of Chine thall be observed by the two belliger ents. Great Britain will make earnest efforts to secure this result. In tho Knight Commander case the British government will Instruct Am bassador Hnrdlnge thut It will insist that there was no Justification In In ternational law for sinking the steam er. The British note will be couched In the most conciliatory tone and It is fully expected In cabinet circles that the question will be adjusted by Itus sla paying an adequate indemnity. While dissatisfied with the failure of Russia to rccopnlze In principle that she had no right to sink a neu tral ship, even If carrying contraband the British government feels it will gain little by pressing the point, es peclally as It regards the power of the Russian navy to harm merchant mei1 In the Far East as having practically disappeared. Therefore the govern ment will accept an Indemnity, which It will regard as an admission of tht correctness of the position assumed by Foreign Secretary Lansdownt when the original demand for repara tion was made. Tho neutrality of China presents a more knotty problem to the London authorities, for the reason that they have to consider the effect upon tbeii ally. The disposition of the govern ment Is to go slow. In other words while Insisting that China shall con tlnue neutral the government will give Japan every opportunity to show It possible a justification for the ac tlon of the torpedo boat destroyer In capturing the Ry shltelnl. Exchanges on the subject have occurred between Great Britain am". Japan. The Russians opened fire on out men," It was added at the legation "showing that the Ryeshltelnl, If she had not been disarmed, might have at tempt ed to leave Chefoo without re gard for the prom'se made by hex commander, anil menace neutral ship ping or carry dis utches of great lm port. As the Russians took the of fensive our mer had no other recourse; than to capture the Ryeshltelnl." At the Chinese legation here it was said that the foreign board had not communicated to It the facts of the Ryeshltelnl Incident but was discuss Ing them directly with the diplomat stationed at the Chinese capital. The members of the legation ex press the hope that the United States will continue Its efforts to Induce tht belligerents to observe China's neu trality. SENATOR FAIRBANKS' TOUR.
