many's polite refusal to Withdraw frokS
Pekin is commented upon with keen SAT-
| isfaction in London, and the hone is ex-
pressed that Lord Salisbury will show

not yet been formulated Lord Sails
bury desires to consult with his cofs:
leagues, and has notified the foreign office
| OF his intention to return to London from
the continent early next week
There is little doubt, however. that
| Germany's reply is the outcome of the
discussion carried on during the last
! few days between the European cabinets
! and that the compromise policy of main
tanning the occupation If the capitol, but
Withdrawing the greater part of the
| troops to Tien Tsin. will be found to
| nave met With general concurrence.
I From Shanghai 1t is reported that
/ Japan has notified the powers OF her
/ Willingness to withdraw her troops pro-
vided an adequate guard is left for the
| legations and on condition that China
formally requests evacuation and opens
genuine negotiations for peace. Altogether
| appearances are more hopeful, and it is
likely that when Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee arrives fortnight hence
at Taku, he will find the allies agreed
upon some common policy.
Shanghai is full of conflicting rumois
regarding the movements of Ii Hung

APPEAL TO ENGLAND.
Chang hi-Tung. the Wu-Chang vice
roy, has telegraphed an urgent appeal TO
the British consul at Shanghai urging
Great Britain to institute peace ncgotil-
tons. He emphasizes the magnitude of
British trade interests and refers to the
activity of the secret societies and the
decline of trade, citing these as vital
reasons why England should take the
lead instead of, as In 1884, allowing Rus
sia to usurp her power and prestige His
final ground for appeal is that Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
have shown anxiety to promote commerce
and to befriend China and he implores
these three powers to appoint plenipoten-
tiaries authorized to open peace negotia-
tons with Lii Hung Chang.
1t is reported that 1000 Boxers have
been killed and wounded in conflicts with
the troops of Gen. Yuan Shi Kia, mill
tary governor Of Shantung.
