than mere foreign office diplomacy Under

in the case of so autocratic q ruler this
personal equation must have an important
bearing upon international events. The

ject of free access TO the waters OF the

the Ottoman empire, which she will allow
to pursue peacefully it's own aims.

London, Aug. 14.-It is rumOred in
st. Petersburg that England intends
to propose that the powers cooperate
in demanding that both China and ia
pam withdraw their forces from C0rea
forthwith, and intrust the Govern

tional conference.
The rumor is the subject Of much
comment The opinion is general that
Russia would never consent to such a
proposition She prefers TO let events
take their course while her interests
are not menaced.
The Vienna correspondent of the
News says that England, France and
Russia have agreed not to tolerate an
attack on Pekin. Their respective
squadrons have been instructed TO in
