( GENERAL ASTONISHMENT.

Action of the United states and Russia
Surprises Great Britain.
New YORK, Sept. ga dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
Explanations of the American circu-
lar note, which have been cabled here
from Washington. have caused general
astonishment. Whatever the state de-
partment may have meant to convey,
Downing street understood the United
States government to be supporting
Russia's proposal for immediate retire
ment from Peking The British foreign
Office has received two disagreeable
surprises in the last week. 1t was
justly annoyed at finding that Russia,
after all her declarati ons Of affections
for the International concert, had
calmly given orders for the retirement
of the Russian troops and legation
without even waiting to hear what the
other powers thought of the move.
Counted ON Amsrica ~ IN Ally.
But thefattitude of the United States
was almost equally disconcerting. The
British government thought it was en-
titled to rely on American support in
the endeavor to settle the Chinese ques-
tion effectually. The, British official
view is that this retiremsnt from Peking
is only advantageous for Russia which
kills three birds with one stone. In
the first place she has her troops free
for use where she wants them just
now, namely in Manchuria; second,
she limits the expenditure Of money
which in the present condition of her
finances is highly desirable: third, she
prevents the possible removal of the
Chinese seat of government from Pc
king, where, for reasons of her own,
she particularly desires that it should
remain.
