POWERS ARE DETERMINED
TO Move on to Pekin. Will Not
Compromise With China.

London, Aug. 12.-"The sooner
we can be got out of this tne bet
ter, for it ls lnconvenient for the
Chinese government and unsafe
for ourselves" This is the mes
sage received last evening from
Sir Robert Hart, dated Pekin,
Aug. 5 and sent in cipher to the
Chinese maritime customs office
iii London.
Commenting upon it, The
Morning Z st says: 1T would
seem to indicate that the Chinese
government is anxious for the
safety Of the foreigners or, at any
rate, anxious to get them safely
out of Pekin, while Sir Robert
Hart evidently expects that they
will get out sooner or later"
Shene, director general of rail
roads and telegraphs, according
to a Shanghai dispatch to The
Standard, expresses grave fears
for the safety Of the members Of
the legations when the defeated
Chinese troops return 10 the cap
ital.
The Austrian naval commander
reports to Vienna that the allies
decided to rest for three daYs
after the taking OF Yang Tsun.
A dispatch to news agency
from Tien Tsin says: "Junks and
stones block the river beyond ad
vauced posts Of the allies for a
considerable distance, but dry
ness continues and the country is
in good marching order, su ubsidi
ary dykes having made the en-
emy's damming ineffective.
at is believed that some 500
have been added TO the expedI.
tion by the increase In the nun.
Der Of British naval brigade"
The Daily Mail publishes an
interview with the Chinese min
lister in London, Sir Chih Chen
Lo Feng Lab, quotes him as urg
ing the foreign ministers to leave
Pekin.
Some people say, remarked
Sir ChIh Chen, that the Euro
peans are still besieged. 1t ia rot
so. When you are besieged, you
are not allowed communication
with the outside world, but here
you are receiving messages, cl-
pher messages, from Sir Claude
Macdonald"
Commenting upon the various
propositions made by China to
the powers, The Daily News well
expresses the predominating
British opinion as follows: "What
the Chinese authorities say in
effect j. this: Stop your advance
on Pekin and we will give your
ministers safe conduct to Tien
Tsin. If you do not at once In
struct them TO leave Pekin we
cannon answer for the conse-
quences."
"To this abominable and not
very thickly yelled threat, there
can be only one answer and NJ
Deciasse has given it in very
cogent terms. The ministers can.
not leave except under abt0lute-
ly convincing guarantees of safe
ty. In the speedy advance of the
allies lies the only real hope of
saving the ministers"
