FRENCH GOVERNMENT
AGREES WITH RUSSIA

Washington, Sept. THE latent ex-
preston as to the attitude Of the pow
crs on the evacuation Of Pelxin comes
from the United States ambassador at
Paris, Gen. Horace Porter, who has
advised the authorities here that the
attitude OF the French government Is
favorable to the position taken hy
Russia. Almost simultaneously with
this dispatch from Gen. Porter came
another from the American charge

or Germany IN Russia's proposal. This
IN substance states that Germany.
while anxious to avoid any friction he
tween the powers, regards the condi-
tons at Pekin such as to require the
continued presence Of German forces
there.
These two highly important COM
munications bring the Chinese nego-
tiaticns 20 very advanced stage,
though they are not yet concluded, as
all of the answers are not yet Ia. The
German and French answers, however.
clearly indicate the alignment Of the

Italy and Austria. as these two coun-
tries act with Germany on political

Britain, there is an absolute lack OF
official information. though little
doubt is entertained that. since Ger
many has taken the initiative. Great
Britain viii follow suit in favor Of re-
naming at Pellin. The position OF

ness, although it is believed in the
