THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

Uolbed Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copy i igli * Tondon, October 23 The Anglo-u'erccan agreement ia widely discussed. The American newspapers describe it as Lord Salisbury's finest masterpiece. It is interpreted in England as a written consecration to principles which are professed on all sides, and merely complimentary to the Anglo- Bussiftn agreement of 1899. If the the open-door policy fail, the spheres of influence of the various countries will survive, thus precluding the pre dominance of any rival. M. Delcasie is favourable to the agreement. He considers that only unanimous, strong, self-denying action will overcome th© crisis St Petersburg, Oct 28 The Russian Press are sensitive in reference to the agreement, declaring it to be unjustly auspicious of Russia, the traditional guardian ©f China's integrity. Some declare partition to b® inevitable

The Novoe Vremya declares that the territory north of the Peiho River is Russian sphere, and that an open door policy is inadmi siUe.
