Washington, Sept. 1.-The entire
course of negotiations on the Chinese
question is now dependent upon the
responses of the Powers to the Russo
American proposals. 1t was stated
authoritatvely at the close of official

those of preliminary and incon-
elusive character heretofore an
nounced. Moreover. 1t is stated by re-
sponsible Administration officials that
not until the last answer is received
will the negotiations assume any deh-

prove to be the dissent from an inter

forts are now bending.
