London, Sept. 6. - Yesterdays dis
patches from Shanghai and Tien-tsin
refer to the hopeless confusion and
mismanagement of the Chinese tele-
graph system, which may account in
part for the delay in getting news
from Picking. Another reason for the
delay doubtlessly is the anxiety Of the
Chinese authorities to procure the
evacuation of the capital. No effort Is
being spared by them to bring this
about. Their idea is that should the;
foreign ministers in Picking be allowed
free communication with their govern
ments the full extent of the COM
plilcity of the Chinese government in
the anti-foreign outrages would be re-
vealed and would lead the allies to
decide to remain until retribution had
been exacted. All kilograms have to
be conveyed by courier from Isl Nanfu
to Picking, and probably all cipher dis
patches
Have Been stopped.
According to Shanghai advices Ii
Hung Chang wired the Chinese min
lister in London, Sir Chin Shcn Lofeng-
4uIl DIS 1OllOWS.
"Our st. Petersburg minister has
persuaded Russia to leave Picking.
You are useless if you cannot per-
suade England"
1t is asserted that Earl Ii has prc..,-
ised Russia three Manchuri,.. prov
inces if she secures the withdrawal of
the allied force from Picking and ia.
vorable peace terms from the powers.
Both the empress dowager and Ii
Hung Chang are said to be lavishing
money tn attain these objects. There
is nc sign as yet of any decision on
the part of the powers regarding the
Russian proposals. The japanese pa
pers unreservedly condemn the idea of
evacuating Picking and hint that there
is a secret compact between Russia
and China to the detriment of Great
Britain and Japan.
Cause of Empress' Frenzy.
The empress dowager's anti-foreign
frenzy in June, according to a special
dispatch from Shanghai, was due to
Tuan of an ultimatum which is now
known to have been forged, in which
the powers demanded her abdication
in favor of Emperor Kwang SUI. the
removal of the seat of government
from Picking, the placing of Chinese
Frances under European control and
other sweeping concessions.

DISPATCH FROM cHAFFEE.
Says Military Situation Ix Emfne mt.
ly SatfafRctOry,

ly Satisfactory.
Washington, Sept. GA very inter-
esting dispatch was received yesterday
at the war department from Gen.
Chaffee. 1t described the military sit
uation as eminently satisfactory and
would have been of greater value but
for the omission common to all of the
other official dispatches from China,
namely, the date line. However, TAX
ing into consideration the fact that a
cablegram was received by the state
department yesterday. dated five days
ago, from MIR. Conger, the conclusion
was reached that Gen. Chaffees dis
patch also was sent from Pe!Sing about
Aug. 20 or so. Gen. Chaffee asks a
very important question as to the
withdrawal of the American troops.
The
Answer to That Question:,
1t is said, might have been found in
the state departments answer to the
Russian evacuation proposition. But
that answer, or rather a synopsis of
it, was not cabled to Gen. Chaffee un-
til the 30th ult., and it is assumed that,
allowing for the same time of trans
initial as was consumed by Gen. Chat
fees dispatch received yesterday, the
synopsis has just reached him. 1t is
stated that no order has been sent to
Gen. Chaffee to leave Picking as the
result of any recent development. In
fact, it would seem that the war de-
partment is not able to instruct him
more specifically on this point until
the decision of the powers relative to
general evacuation is known. 1t was
stated at the war department that
our position was unchanged; that If
Russia
Withdravs Her Troops
then Cen. Chaffee will do the same.
Meanwhile it is gathered that condi-
lions IN China are still disorganized
and foreign life and property are still
unsafe. The dispatch received from
Minister Conger was gratifying to Of
ficials in that it contained the date of
Picking, Aug. 80, as an integral part
of the message, and this part in cipher.
Aside from bringing the information
UP to a recent day, it satisfied the Of
ficials that the minister at least had
the instructions to include the place
and dIte of each message as an in
tegral part Of it. This promises to do
away with the great confusion caused
thus far in dateless messages. The
text Of the conger dispatch was not
made public but it was authoritatively
stated that 1t did not
Change the Situation
and was devoted somewhat to expires.
sions Of opinion. It was stated in this
connection that Minister Conger will
remain at his post until further orders.
In view of the statement Of Count
Landsdors, Russian minister of foreign
affairs, in the Official Messenger, that
orders already had been issued to NJ.
de Giers and to the army to leave
Peking, the statement was made at
the state department yesterday that
no such determination had been COM
municated to Washington. An official
communication received here through
diplomatic channels makes the rather
surprising statement that II Hung
