THE PRESIDENT

Washington, Sept. 12-The question
cf Withdrawing The American troops at
once form Pekin is now before the
President and a speedy decision is ex-
pected and required There are differ
erces among officials in Pekn on this
subject and the issue Is for the Presi-
dent ID decide. The action OF the
French government as reported by ca
ble dispatches, in Joining Russia in or
ders for the Withdrawal Of troops, has
brought about the contingency touch
40 upon in the reply to Russia in the
following language:
The result Of these considerations is
that unless there is such a general ex-
preston by the powers in favor Of con-
tinued occupation as to modify views
expressed by the government Of Russia
ANA lead to general agreement for con-
tinued occupation. we shall give in
structiors 70 the commander Of the
American forces in China to withdraw
our troops from Pekin after due con-
ference with the other commanders az

Gen. Chaffee was made acquainted
with the attitude of the government
and was directed to hold himself in
readiness to withdraw his troops. In
doubtedly he RS conferred with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner If withirawa', according to the
terms OF the note.
The sending of further supplies to
him has been stopped and he now
awaits but the signal from Washing
ton to begin his movement. 1t is for
the President u give that signal.
The considerations now before him
in favor Of immediate withdrawal are:
First the fact that he IS already com
mitted in a measure to such course
by the above quoted language in reply
To the Russian note; second. it is rep
resented that China is on the verge Of
z terrible famine and the retention OF
The troops in Pekin, preventing as they

ment ana the supply Of provisions TO
the capital. places the responsibility
for what threatens to be frightful
calamity upon the powers who sane
toned the occupation.
Oh the other hand. strong represen-
tations have been made to the Presi-
dent in opposition to withdrawal in
advance Of the procurement Of abso-
lu-ely sufficient guarantees for the pro-
tenti1n Of American interests in China,
and for the safety Of the native Chris
tons This last addition is one most
difficult to meet. but being insisted up
on by the missionary element, is given
most careful consideration.
IN anticipation Of some such state. Of
affairs the effort has been made to

70 TRACK TIE WATERS
FOR CHARTING PACIFIC
ISLANDS.
Navy Department Will Lay Path For
many May Cooperate.

NEW YORK, June ia special to
the Herald from Washington says: I'M
portant work for the benefit of COM
merce in the Pacific is to be performed
by the Navy, now that Congress has
authorized the appropriation of 100000
for ocean and lake surveys.
Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment, has approved
recommendation submitted by Com
mander Todd for an elaborate chartlng
of the triangle formed by the Hawaiian
Islands, the southernmost point of the
Philippines, and the islands of Japan.
1t is also purposed to establish a path
between Honolulu and the Philippines
to be followed by American war ships
so that if any become disabled others
following may pick them up. 1t is be-
lieved that merchant vessels will be
prompt to adopt the route. There Is
now no general path.
Germany has not been expected to
join in the survey of the Pacific, though
it is believed that when she learns Of
the action of this government she will
follow it's example in making complete
surveys of her Pacific islands.
1t is understood, of course, that the
United States can obtain more eXpedi-
tious results by cooperating with other
nations. Japan has expressed her will
lingness to chart the waters in the vi
entity of her islands, and Great Britain
has charted to some extent the China
Sea and the East Indies.

her cargo were $500. 600 i'm treasure and
466 cases of opium, the duty on which
will net the government yll4,63
In her last run the China upheld her
reputation as the fastest steamer on the
Pacific. ON the voyage just completed
she had two brushes with the Empress
of Japan and on each occasion ran
away from the Canadian flyer. Re
ween Hongkong and Shanghai the two
vessels came together, and the Mail
Company's steamer, after hard tussie,
beat her rival five hours to port.
The engineers Of the Empress Of ia
pan were not satisfied with the result,
however, and they challenged the crew
of the China to race them to Nagasalti.
The challenge was taken up and the
fremen on the China bet their shirts
on the result Coal was not spared dur
ing that run, and in consequence the
China averaged II knots throughout
the trip and won easily. In fact, the
Empress of Japan had not arrived when
the China sailed, and the crew of the
latter vessel will have to collect their
bets when next the mail boats meet
