LONDON. Sept. 19.--As might have
been expected. coincldent with the ar
rival Of Count Won Waldersee IN Chi
ma comes the most important declara-
tion Of policy yet Issued by any Of the
allies. As the Daily News remarks:
'Germanys circular note has turned
the tables on Russia. whose evacua-
ton proposal had put Germany into
an awkward corner. Now II Russia
assents to the German note she will
be unable to continue. says the Daily
News to pose as Chlna's lenient and
forgiving friend while. II she dissents,
Russia viii lay herself open to the
charge Of reducing the punitive expedi-
ton 70 a farce"
The London morning papers have lit
tie bur praise for what Is called Ger
many's admirable note"
BERLIN. Sept. 1S.-The following
note has been sent TO the German em-
barsies at Washington. London, Paris.
St Petersburg. Rome. Vienna and To-
kiO:
The government OF the emperor
holds as preliminary 70 entering upon
diplomatic relations with the Chinese
government that those persons must
be delivered uD who have been proved
70 be the original and real instIgators
OF the outrazes against international
law which have occurred at Pekin.
"The number Of those who were
merely instrumental In carrying out
the outrages is too great. Wholesale
executions would be contrary TO civ
ilized conscience and the circumstances
Of such group Of leaders cannot be
completely ascertained. But the few
whose guilt Is notorious should be de-
livered up and punished
The representatives Of the powers
at Pekin are in position TO give or
bring forward convincing evidence.
Less importance attaches to the num-
Der punished than as to whether they
are instruments or leaders.
The government believes II can
count on the unanimity of all the cab
inets in regard to this point irasmuch
as indifference TO the idea Of a lust
atonement would be equivalent to in
difference to the repetition Of the crime.
The government proposes. therefore.
that the cabinets concerned should in
struct their representatives at Pekin
to indicate those leading Chinese per-
sonages from whose guilt in instigat-
ing or perpetuating outrages all doubt
Is precluded.
