THE KAISER STANDS ALONE.
Says Troops viii Not Evacuate
Pekin.
CARES NOT WHAT OTHERS DO
Declares That the Forces There May Be
Increased Rather Than Diminished
Speculation at Washington Russia
May Change Policy.

Berlin, Sept. 4.-Emperor William
has declared in emphatic terms that
Germany's forces will not leave Pekin
though all other nations withdraw and
even If he has to mobilize at the
Chinese capital every corps in the Ger
man army.
This statement he made at a dinner
given to the officers of the corps OF
guards last night and it is said the
Emperor used the most emphatic Ian
guage in making the statement.
Germany, however, desires that the
powers remain in Pekin until a stable
Chinese government exists, with
which satisfactory negotiations can be
closed. But the German fleet and mil
itary force in the far East is strong
enough, it is stated, to enforce Ger
many's demands, and will be increas-
ed if. from political and financial mo-
tiyes, Russia decides to renounce fur
Their participation in the occupation OF
Pekin

THE KAISER HOLDS THE KEY.
Decision of the Powers Awaiting Ger
many's Action.

Washington. D. c., Sept. 5.-Action
by the powers on the proposals Of the
United States in regard to China Is
yet in ahey nee. 1t is considered inn
probable at Washington that any def
mite action will be taken until the pur-
pose of Germany is made manifest by
the arrival of Count Won Waldersee
in China. If he marches upon Pekin
Russia will undoubtedly hold its troops
there. and thus it's proposal for an
evacuation of the capital will fall
through. The London Standard as
serts that no matter what the action
British and German forces will not
leave Pekin until a settlement is reach
ed with the imperial government.
Russia's action in proposing the evac-
uation of Pekin, it is asserted. was to
Illustrate the war schemes of the Ger
man Emperor in China, and in the in
terests of peace. Allied to this motive
was desire to save France the humil-
iation of placing its soldiers under the
command of a German. Austria was
advised by its Admiral in China that
the allies took possession of the i'm
perial palace in Pekin August %, and
that its representative had placed

has dispatched warship to the Yang
tse river, ostensibly to protect for
eigners. Its object, it is generally be-
lieyed, is to checkmate possible
schemes of Great Britain in that re-
gion. Yuan-Shih-Kai. governor of
Shantung province, is said to have an
army of 10000 men ready to oppose

New York, Sept. New York is
again menaced by race riot. The
latent feeling of hatred between the
negroes and whites in West Forty

again, and but for the prompt work Of

Col. Coolidge led the Ninth infantry
in its attack on the inner walls Of

of the fighting at Tientsin. and con-
tinues:
There were 10000 dead Chinese and
probably one-third OF the city is burned
by shot and shell or incendiaries. On
account OF the crowded condition OF
the city it would be a good thing il
one-half OF it were destroyed.
The Japs looted the Chinese houses,
but the French were entirely in the
robber business. and robbed and muir
dered right and left. and do still.
believe the British were granted one
day to loot. but this was soon stopped,
except by the French. who still con-
tinued the work in their own quarter.
The American quarter has been very
quiet and We guard il as best we can
with our small garrison. The Chinese
dead are all buried. and the town is
cleared up and peaceable."
