Germany's refusal to proceed with
peace negotiations in China until the
leadn~s Of the anti-foreign mobs respOn-
sible for the recent atrocities have been
delivered to the powers for trial and pun
ishment, is one OF the notable events Of
the week The kaiser's attitude is in
strong contrast with the Cars, who ex-
pressed willingness to withdraw his
troops from Pekin and begin negotiations
for settlement with Ii Hung Chang
aad Prince Ching The United States
rejected the German proposal. 1t has
been the general impression that Japan
would stand with the United States in
accepting the Russian proposals; but this
impression lacks the basis OF o1cial an
nouncement. Russia is suspected by En-
gland of desire to retain Pekin. En-
gland is distrusted by Russia and France
because of her interest in the Yang-tse
Province. All the powers distrust Ger
many because of her seeming purpose
20 make war on China. Russia, France,
the United States, and Japan have init
mated a willingness to open negotiations
for peace with Prince Ching did Ii
Hung Chang. Germany and Great Brit
ain up to the present writing have de
clined to accept either the Viceroy or the
Prince as representative of China. The
Dowager and the Emperor have signi-
fed their willingness to return to Pekin
if the allies will guarantee them protec-
ton. This the allies, so far, are unable
to promise.
