LONDON NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
Tone of the Press Is UnfavOrable tO
the Proposal.

LONDON, August 31.-The afternoon pa
pers appear perplexed at the Americo-Rus-
sian accord to secure the prompt evacua-
ton of Pekin. They point out how COM
pletely this upsets preconceived notions of
the grouping of the powers on the Chinese
question, and the consensus of Londons
editorial opinion is that the proposals are
antagonistic to British interests and that
the allies should remain in Pekin until the
Chinese government is re-established and
the ringleaders of the present uprising are
punished.
The Globe seizes the opportunity to in
dulge in unfriendly criticism, accusing the
United States of breaking the concord of
the powers and playing into the bands Of
Russia against Great Britain by supporting
the suggestion of the employment of Ii
Hung Chang, who, the paper declares, is
notoriously hostile to Great Britain and
friendly to Russia The Globe urges that
the British government oppose to the utter
most the idea of the evacuation of Pekin,
in which course, the paper adds, 1t will be
supported by Emperor William of Ger
many.

kin under definite understanding between
the powers until the Chinese government
shall have been re-establshed and shall be
in position to enter into new treaties with
adequate provisions for reparation AMI
guarantees of future protection. With the
establishment and recognition Of such au-
thority, the United States would wish to
withdraw it's military forces from Pekin
and remit to the processes of peaceful ne
gotiation our just demands.
1--WE consider, however, that a continued
occupation of Pekin would be ineffective to
produce the desired result unless all the
powers unite therein with entire harmony
of purpose. Any power which determines
to withdraw it's troops from Pekin will nee
essarily proceed thereafter to protect its in
terests in China by it's own method, and
we think that this would make general
withdrawal expedient. AS to the time and
manner of withdrawal, we think that, In
view of the imperfect knowledge of the
military situation resulting from the inter-
ruptions of telegraphic communication, the
several military commanders at Pekin
should be instructed to confer and agree
certed movement, as they agreed upon the
advance.
1.-The result of these considerations Is
that, unless there is such a general express
sion by the powers in favor of continued
occupation as to modify the views express
ed by the government Of Russia and lead
to general agreement for continued occu-
patton, we shall give instructions to the
commander of the American forces in Chi
ma to withdraw our troops from Pekin after
due conference with the other commanders
as to the time and manner of withdrawal.
1.-The government of the United States is
much gratified by the assurance given by
Russia that the occupation of Niuchwang
is for military purposes incidental to the
military steps for the security of the Rus
sian border provinces menaced by the Chi
nese, and that as soon as order shall be re-
established Russia will retire her troops
from those places, If the action of the other
powers be not an obstacle thereto. No OBJ
stacle in this regard can arise through any
action of the United States, whose policy is
fixed and has been repeatedly proclaimed.

Growing Sentiment Favoring
Ii Hung Chang.
He WILL REPRESENT CHINA
Forts at Taku to Be Held Pending
Peace.
COM ENT IN LONDON

LONDON, August 31.-The associated
Press has official authority for announcing
that the American-Russian proposal in
favor of the withdrawal of the allied forces
from Pekin, with the view of facilitating
negotiations for the conclusion of peace,
has not only met with considerable favor
at European chancellories but is almost
certain to be adopted
In the meanwhile the question of en-
ploying Ii Hung Chang as an interme-
diary is meeting with more and more favor,
and, as the Associated Press has intmated
in recent dispatches, will. in all proba-
bility, be settled affirmatively as soon
Ii Hung Chang is able to obtain the neces-
sary authority.
The recent statement that the admirals
of the powers in Chinese waters contem-
plated OBTAINING Ii Hung Chang at Taku
is devoid of foundation. La Hung Chang
will remain at Shanghai endeavoring to the
utmost to open communication nth his
colleagues of the Chinese government
Allies to Withdraw.
There is a growing conviction in official
circles here that the withdrawal of the
allies from Pekin is the only practical pro-
cedure under the existing circumstances,
and 1t is believed the retention of the allied
forces at Pekin is liable to raise further
complications Of dangerous character and
unnecessarily irritate the Chinese populace.
There Is, however, no doubt in ofncial cir
cles that 1t Will be necessary for the powers
to maintain their hold of the Taku forts
and certain other strategical points until
satisfactory terms are arranged and ample
good behavior.

THE OLD METHOD
OF Treating Piles and Rectal Dis
eases Now Discarded.

Thousands of sufferers bear witness 90
the value of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
even in cases where a dangerous surgical
operation has failed to cure, surprising
results nave been obtained from The new
remedy after a few weeks use.
Relief from pain is so immediate that pa
tients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure must contain some form of
cocaine or oD.ate, but careful analysis
shows it to contain no opiate, cocaine or
any injurious drug whatever. in fact, il is
guaranteed absolutely free from any dele
ferrous subs tance.
The old methods of treating piles by lig-
allure, knife or the still more cruel treat
ment by dflataton. besides causing intense
pain and frequently collapse and death,
are now known to be practically useless
as far as permanent cure is concerned.
Nearly every case of piles may be traced
to faulty action of the liver and it is a
mistake to treat the trouble entirely by
local applications of salves and ointments
or by any kind of operation. The new
treatment by the Pyramid has clearly
demonstrated its superiority over all of
these.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tific both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action, and the best feature
of it is that 1t is perfectly safe and harm
less. No i'll effects ever result from its
use.
The cure is accomplished gradually and
painlessly by the astringent properties
contained in it, which cause the little
tumors and congested blood vessels to con-
tract and The obstruction to the circula-
ton to be removed.
In view of the immense number of patent
medicines on the market, il is a singular
fact that the Pyramid is the only pile cure
of note, the only one that is sold and rec
commended in every drug store in the Unit
ed States.
The remedy is in suppository form and
far superior to any salve or ointment for
convenience. 1t is applied at night and
absorbed into the sensitive rectal MEM
brane, acting both as a local and con-
stitutional treatment. The treatment is
effectual even in cases of many years
standing.
Complete treatment of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is sold by druggists everywhere at
80 cents and a little book on cause and
cure of piles will be mailed free by ad-
dressing Pyramid Drug Company, Mar
shall. Mich.
