NO CHINESE NEWS.
Nothing of Importance Bearing on
Situation.

Washington, September 1.-THE pas
sage of the day without any event bear
ing upon the Chinese situation, went to
confirm the prediction made last week
by the officials, that there would be no
Immediate important developments. Sew
eraI cable messages were exchanged and
there were some consultations, notably
between Acting Secretary Adee and the
Chinese and the Japanese ministers and
the French charge, but these were with
out visible result. The general impression
is that nothing can be done until the
Chinese themselves have progressed
further toward the restoration of the
government at Pek1n. Meanwhile the
military preparations for a winter stay
in China go on without cessation; though
the officials are careful to point out
that these are only precautionary meas
ures and are not to be taken as an indi-
cation of a final determination on the
part Of the government.
Count Won WaIdersee, who viii COM
mand the allied armies, is expected to
arrive at Shanghai next Wednesday or
Thursday. Although a military comman-
der, it is the understanding among offic-
iaIs that he probably Will exert cOns1d-
erabIe influence on the diplomatic situa-

Ter. Japan's course has been clearly
defined In her answer to the Russian
proposal. In this answer Japan an
nounoes her purpose of withdrawing
from Pekin all 'superhuous'' forces, and
continuing there only such force as st
considered necessary.
The suggested removal OF the Chinese
capital from Pekin to Shanghai, is now
practically abandoned. Tien Tsin is
likely to be the headquarters, military
and diplomatic of the foreign establish
ments not maintained at Pekin.

CHINA URGING NEGOTIATIONS.
Washington, September 17.-phe desire
OF China to actually begin negotiations

spatch from Prince Ching. delivered nv
Minister Wa to the state department..
H.The despatch was dated at Pek1n. Sem

that he has been clothed with fun an
I
tiate for peace. He expresses q destre to
proceed in the matter and asks Minister
WI to submit a request to the secretary
OF state to send instructions TO Minister
Conger to begin the negotiations at once.
1t is probable that no immediate re.
sponse to the request for instructions to
Minister Conger can be given as Prince

fore the President and sufficient time
given to consider the question Of his Gre

that the Chinese officials are ready tC
