determination to have strong military force
at the seat Of the Chinese Government.
The announcement Of General Chafree's
signment and the orders to proceed TO Picking
came after the State Department had declined
to aCcede to q second proposition from the six
great Viceroys Of China that foreign troops be
kept out Of China until Ii Hung Chang reaches
Picking. IN a more formal manner with the
signatures Of the six VicerOys representing the
greater part OF the empire Minister WI re-

points as were menaced and where American
officials and citizens were in danger. While the
VicerOys spoke for their provinces. they could
not speak for Picking, and II is TO Picking that
the officials most anxiOUsiy look. Minister Con-
ger IS still silent, and the latest advices have
shown that little reliance can be placed on the
dispatches from Shanghai saying that the Min

cleared the atmosphere surprisingly, and
regarded by the highest officials far more
cheering than would appear from a superficial
reading Of the brief dispatch. The fact that the

Chinese resistance was nothing like as stubborn

spiriting feature, as interpreted by the Presi-

been found comparatively tranquil. else a
considerable portion Of the relief force could not
have been so promptly spared to hasten the
rescue Of Admiral Seymour's column These
facts are distinctly encouraging. and although
Admiral Kempff may later report details OF
widespread destruction and perhaps great loss
OF life during the six days that Tien-Tsin was
cut off from communication. there ts good ground

outlined this evening by a high official OF the
Foreign Office as follows:
The German Government does not yet any

eminent and to saddle the responsibility upon
Picking for the participation OF Chinese troops
in the Boxer excuses. AT least. all trustworthy
news received here thus far leaves the question
of responsibility still open This view Is shared
by other Powers. For the same reason the q1es-
ton OF dethrOning the Empress has not yet
been discussed among the Powers"
The official was asked whether, IN case the
completely OF the Chinese Government were

that the Empress should be retained. Germany
would continue 10 side with Russia

rnOny with all the Powers rather than 10 further

The official added that no policy has yet been
agreed upon by the Powers 10 what course To
pursue should il be found that the Ministers az
Picking had been murdered and when IL was
suggested that the pacific assurances OF the
Chinese Ministers at European capitals were OF
