perial Government restore order in
Peking and guarantee the protection of
treaty and international rights.
RUSSIA READY TO GO.
CHICAGO, August SO.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Russia has Withdrawn it's Minister
from Peking and instructed him to go
to Tientsin and remain there until fur
ther orders. Within a few days the
Russian troops will be withdrawn, and
| they, too, will make their headquarters
at Tientsin. Notice to this effect has
| been given the United States and the
other powers, and Identical action upon
! their part has been urged. The United
| States will pursue the same course as
| that adopted by Russia, and it is hoped
! the other nations interested in the Chi
nese problem will do the same thing.
! Russia's idea in taking this action is
| to induce the powers to remove their
! forces from Peking so as to reassure
! the Emperor and induce the Imperial
| Government to return to the capital,
!
ment and restore order in his domin-
! ions.
WANT Ii RECOGNIZED.

! Sam has decided to take a hand in
! the Chinese game with Russia, and
gives the powers notice that this coun-
| try deems it advisable that Ii Hung
Chang be accepted as China's peace
plenipotentiary. In accordance with
been sent to the representatives of the
United States in Berlin, Paris, Vienna,
London, Rome Toxic and St.
Petersburg. I'm interests of peace
and effective presentation of just de-
mands of all powers AGAINST China, it
seems important that the Chinese plen-
ipotentiary should be able to commun-
icate both with his own government
and it's military commandments, whose
action will be necessary to any suspen-
sion of hostilitieS as required in tele-
gram to you of the 22d. Chinese Min
ister here is without power or advices.
Ii Hung Chang is prima facie author
lied by imperial decree to negotiate
ard is the only representative of re-
sponsible authority in China so far as
we are advised. We have instructed
our representatives in China in spirit of
Russian note.
