MAY NOT GO TO CHICAGO
PRESIDENT HAS IMPOR-
TANT WORK In WASHINGTON.
He Regrets that Public Business May
Prevent Him Meeting His
Grand Army Comrades.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Secretary to
the President Cortelyou has advised VIII
liam H. Harper, executive director of the
thirty-fourth National -Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, that while
the President had intended leaving Wash
ington tomorrow, reaching Chicago Sat
urday afternoon, to participate in the en-
campment. the demand of public business
here of immediate Importance will delay his
departure from Washington, and may pos
sibly prevent him from visiting Chicago at
this time. If the President finds he can
leave here so as to be present at some of
the exercises he will do so, and Mr.. Har-
per and others having them in charge will
be promptly notified.
An official of the government, discussing
the determination of the President to post
pone his visit to Chicago. says his action
was taken on account of the Chinese situa-
ton. 1t is expected information may reach
this government at any moment requiring
immediate action, and it is the wish of the
President to give his personal attention to
everything that may develop in China from
now on until there is a settlement of the
existing conditions. The President, it is
said, realizes that while he is going and
coming from Chicago, and while participat-
ing in the celebration at that city, he could
not possibly receive information and give
it the attention which the acute state of
affairs in China demands.
The probable inability Of the President
to attend the encampment is a great dis
appointment for him. For many months
past he has been looking forward with
pleasurable anticipations to this opportu-
nifty TO meet his old friends and army as
sociates, and it is only that his public du-
ties imperatively demand his presence in
Washington at this critical time thai he
has decided to cancel his Chicago engage
ment. Nevertheless, he has strong hopes
that the tension in Chinese affairs may
relax within the next two or three days
sufficiently to warrant his leaving the city
for a short time, in which event he will
notify the Chicago committee of his COM
ing, even II he can only arrive in time to
participate in the closing exercises of the
encampment. The President fully realizes
lhat another crisis is rapidly approaching
In China. and that mementous questions.
which may involve the life or death of the
empire, may at any time be presented for
solution. Under these conditions the Pres
ldent deems 1T to be his duty to remain at
the seat of government until thee crisis. for
the present at least, has passed.

in the killing of seven and wounding Of
forty of the allied forces. That 400 Chinese
We're killed in this engagement was little
consolation to the allies. since, with a large
number of wounded on their hands, and the
constantly increasing force OF Chinese, in
both front and rear, ii was evidently i'm
possible to make the forced march as con-
templated. The news from the direction
of Tien-Tsin showed that the railroad hae
Been destroyed in the rear, and after a
meeting of the commanders IL was decided
that retreat must be made by way of the
river.
Fortunately at this point a German force
from the column captured four large junks,
while Ensign Wurtzbaugh and Cadet
Courtney. with parties of the Newark's
men, gathered in four large sampans. This
little fotilla was distributed among the
allied forces and the whole column en-
barked on the 18th for the return TO Tien-
Tsin. The sailors from the modern war
ships at first made slow work of navi-
eating these unwieldy Oriental craft, but
they made fair progress. Tn retreat was
slow, however. Every village along the
thickly settled banks was a vantage point
from which the Chinese holly contested the
movement of the column, both with artil-
lery and small arms. lanking parties had

The course of france and Great Britain
has not been made known here, but there
is thought TO be no doubt that these gov
ernments will decline 10 treat with China

is acting entirely on its own responsibility
and there Is no Encouragement as 10 the
reply. For that reason the Germans are
different from the Americans, although the
end secured Is the same. In the case or the
American answer copies of IL were sent TO
all the powers simply for their Information,
but in the State Departments note OF
transmission there was no suggestion that
concurrence or approval was expected or
desired On the contrary, the United
States acted entirely on Its own Initiative,
and, as il has turned out. acted first and
In such "A way as to nave other govern
ments take like action.
The German reply in one respect Is re-
garded as having significance beyond that
of the United States in that IL Is based on
the theory that there can be no sovereign
authority In China other than that emanat-
ing from the Emperor and Empress dow
ager. Among diplomatic officials his is
said to be equivalent to an assertion that
the existing regime Is to be recognized,
and that there Is no purpose to set up any
rev administrative authority over China.
While f. is said that this may not go TO
the extent OF assuring the continuance OF
the present Manchu dynasty IL at least
discloses no present purpose to hold that
the flight of the Emperor and Empress
oowager Is an abdication OF the Manchu
regime.
A report received by one of the foreign
legations here states that Germany is pre-
pairing to make San Francisco a point from

comes from the consul general stationed at
San Francisco, who says that German ships
are already arriving there and that a COM
mission of German officers is there TO look
after the forwarding of horses and bread
stuffs for the army. High diplomatic Of
ficials here say that Germany will send an
army of at least $1,000 men to China to
operate under Count Waldersee.
Some time ago IL was announced that this
government would cooperate with other
governments in the construction Of a cable
line from Che-Foo to Taku and also a
cable from Shanghai to Che-Foo. The sum
OF $15O.G00 was set apart for that purpose.
The changed conditions I'm Chtna and the
fact that the land line from Che-Foo to
Shanghai Is in operation, as well as a cable
from Che-Foo to Taku. has made this ex-
renditure unnecessary. Major Scriven was
to-day cabled authority for keeping UP the
line from Tien-Tsin to Picking and funds

pose.
