To Discuss Chinese Questions

IiONDON, Oct. 4. - Tho sudden summonmg of a cabinet council in tho midst of tho racations of most of the mombers creatod a groab deal of war talk in tho newspapers, tho diSiculties with li'rance in Egypt and África, and tho allegod declaration of a blockadc of Madagascar ports being the baso of the talk, which was tncreased when it was knowa that tho Freneh cabi,aet had also been called together. Inquiries made by the Associated Press correspondent at the foreign office elicited the information that the calling of the cabinet council has no connection whatever with the meeting of the French cabi net on tho same day. Tho relations betweon Groat Britain and Franco have certainly been strained dur ing the past six months. Numerous colonial questions have also giveu rise ta friction. Although the government ministers would be glad to selze upon an occasion to discuss theso mattors, the cabinet would not have been summoned but for tho dangerous appoarancu of the situation In China. It seems that the question te ba discussetl is the protection of foreigners at Pelíin ana rolated matterj.
