Novemter 27.—In ottlciai and dltJkrtnatlc quarters much interest is mantfeeted ir. a plan put forward In Londoh cable* of a treaty among the great powers defining spber-.-* of ofluence In Chi^a.

It. was no: regarded as necessary to go beyond that point, and, although .it fretiuently hapisms as the result of initiating negotiations that the Scope of them 1*'liro .<]<-* i far beyond anything origin i y i < cor.templatlott, it *la believed th it such will be the case now, and that there ai-i ie: no necessity for a general and ; ormaJ treaty. ’ Of course, tats statement appVe* f>t 1/ to the ('nited Htatce, and there could be no objection an our part to ih# other powers Joining, in a treaty covering foreign rights In China. |,r<. re way j nothing in tint agreement obiv/ii tu to our Just and proper dalrtns.

Other members of the diplomatic corps pointed cut that th* ^lan was the logical consummation of [the scheme Initiated b**tween Ruaela f<ml (Jr* ,t iMt.i'n when the spheres of Influence would 1>»» defined. Chinese Minister Talks. The Chinese 'legation views the position as purely :conjectural, and the Chinese minister. .Mr, Wu Ting Fang, when his attention was directed to the matter, i egurded it sn Wrepostarous. “This I* iibouit the most refreshing suggestion we havte had of late.'' remarked Mr, Wu. " Whui' can It be seriously proposed that a document shall be formally drawn up comirrilrig Interests in China, and China shall not he a party to it? It can not have! escaped a Mention that China is a sovereign notion, and when It comes to writing treutle* concerning her Interests and territory this sovereign nation Is quite likely to have considerable to say mi (he subject, t hardly think any of the great and self-respect tug powers would give countenance to a pun such us la outlined "Of course, all thing* are possible, and it is difficult to} say how far u plan, once entered upon, )u*y proceed. While the individual may be quite secure in his residence. It Isj of course, always within the bounds of istssIbilUy that s band of tobhers may srrange to enter the house and carrv a way the belongings. For that ri n son it Is tn*' part of. wisdom for the Individual to tje on the outlook against tdrh move* I but it Is not to be eupt*o*«-d that u nation stand* In any such danger, as the great njutlons would not count#*, lance such u Course. Ho that the miggeetIon* or a tmtaty of this character up- i pear to me to b** entirely visionary." At ori« of the embassies It was pointed out that I he tj'# lted fitates wu* hardly i likely _to become w party to a treaty defining the spheres of Influence of other powers, while at the same time no sphere of American influence was denned, and up to the presfnt time H has been defl- I ntt^ly understotid that the fnited StMte* j AM not seek any sphere of influence, but i mertdy untramhieUd entrance to all Chinese ports Af to the other powers, the view prevailed it hat they Would be likely to favor such a comprehensive treaty n» the one outlined In the Ixmdtm advices, as It carried forward the arrangement between tlrcatf Hrttain and Russia, by i which the former secured a sphere of Influence In the Vangise valley and Russia j directed her ngtlvitle* to northeast China.

If you announce yourself. I can assure you of the solid strength of the Pennsylvania delegation in the convention. Furthermore, I believe we can swing New York to you.* ‘T tha iked him for his kindness," conBnueu Mr. Hobart, "and said 1 would let Imn know my decision after my talk with McKinley.
