They Are Amassed in Southern Part of
 the Capital

London, August 26.-3:15 a. m.-The only news of the night from China comes by way of Berlin, where official dispatches have been received dated Taku, August 25, reporting on authority that an undated Russian Pekin telegram received on Wednesday last says that large masses of Boxers are still in the southern part of the capital and that force of troops un- der Prince Ching is in the Imperial City,
 According to a special dispatch from Ber- lin, Germany has not received any pro- posals or suggestions from the United States for an International conference. The Foreign Office considers the idea of such a conference as premature, and desires the allied commanders to exercise control in Pekin and the occupied parts of China un- til Field Marshal von Waldersee shall have assumed command and have time to report CD the question
 The generally well-informed Viedomosti of St. Petersburg says it is the opinion in diplomatic quarters there that the with drawal of the allies from Pekin, now that the foreigners have been rescued, would facilitate peace negotiations.
