Washington, Sept. 6.-The latest ex-
preston as to the attitude of the pow
ers on the evacuation of Pekin comes
I from the United States ambassador at
Paris, General Horace Porter, who has
advised the authorities here that the
attitude Of the French government is
favorable to the position taken by Rus
STA. Almost simultaneously with this
dispatch from General Porter came an
other from the American charge daft
faires at Berlin, giving the attitude of
Germany on Russias proposal. This
in substance states that Germany while
anxious to avoid any friction between
the powers, regards the conditions at
Pekin such as to require the continued
presence of German forces there.
Neither General Porter nor Mr.. Jack
SON gave the text of the answer, but
only the substance Of the positions
taken by the two governments.
Position of Powers Clearly Indicated.
These two highly important COM
munications bring the Chinese negotia-
tions to a very advanced stage though
they are not yet concluded, as all of
the answers are not yet in. The Ger
man and French answers, however,
clearly indicate the alignment Of the
powers. 1t is generally accepted that
Germanys attitude in favor of remain
ing at Pekin will be concurred in by
Italy and Austria. as these two coun-
tries act with Germany on political
questions of a general nature. More
over, definite word has been received
1,o,. til. 1Jo
trials position in favor of remaining at
Pelsin and thus the triple alliance and
dual alliance again stand opposed. AS
to the purposes of Great Britain, there
is no absolute lack of official informa-
ton though little doubt is entertained
that since Germany has taken the in
itiative Great Britain will follow suit
in favor of remaining at Pekin The
position of Japan likewise is lacking i'm
definiteness, although it is believed in
the best posted quarters that if other
nations remain at FeKin Japan will
deem it expedient to remain there also.
France Alone Concurs with Russia.
1t would seem from this that France
is the only government to give concur
renee to the Russian proposition, al
though the United States has expressed
a purpose of following Russia's course
unless the other powers brought about
a modification of Russia's position.
Thus far Russia has not expressed any
purpose of modifying her original posi-
tion. 1t was stated authoritatively to-
day that Russia has not ordered the
departure of her minister or troops
from Pekin up to this time, so far as
the United States government is .ad-
vised. 1t Is stated also that no new
proposition has been made, but that
the question is practically the same as
when first presented, namely, as to |
whether the troops will remain or be |
withdrawn from Pekin.
Preparing Another Note.
The receipt of the communica tions
from Berlin and Paris brought about
numerous conferences between the
president, Secretary Root and Acting
