. .R0R A COMPR0DjIS
Believed Germany Will Favor
a Middle Course Upon Rus
sia's Proposition.
That Is About the Only Way of
Avoiding an Impasse at
This Juncture.
t:1INIs1ERs MAY OBJECT
Believed Diplomats Will Pro-
test Against Taking Troops
From Peking.
Understood That Outrages and
Disturbances Are Still
Continuing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. eff there is
any change in the military situation
since General Chaffee's dispatch sup.
posed to be of the 30th ult., no word of
it has reached Washington.
1t is understood that the disturbances
and outrages upon missionaries con-
tinue in some of the districts outside of
Peking. 1t is believed here, possibly
because of these reports, that the for.
eign ministers in Peking will enter IN
earnest objection to any withdrawal of
troops if their respective governments
delay action upon the Russian PROPOSE
ton until they have had chance to
express their views. The German for
eign Office appears to be active in fur
thering the negotiations, and quite q
number of messages have passed be-
tween Washington and Berlin. Those
persons most likely to have a correct
understanding of Germany's attitude
look for the suggestion of a com.
promise or middle course which will
be neither al acceptance nor
Rejection of the Russian ! roposal,
but will be such satisfactory middle
ground that all the powers, including
Russia, can agree to it. Diplomatic
officials say that some such compromise
is about the only way of avoiding an
impasse and that the best resources of
diplomacy are now being used to Sc
cure this middle ground on which all
the powers can reconcile their several
policies. n another diplomatic quarter
the strong belief is expressed that the
requisite compromise will be found by
China's re.establishing government
and naming peace commissioners. Off
cial intimation has reached Washing.
ton that steps are now being made to-
wards the appointment of such peace
commission, and it is quite generally
accepted among officials that some
| such move on the part Of China has
matured and will take form in Wash
ington very soon.
