Gen. LeneV1tch's Force Ordered TO
Leave PeI1in.
NEW YORK, Sept. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Though COM
munications are passing between several
European foreign officers, no agreement
on the Russian proposal has yet peen
reached. The German government has
not as stated in some quarters, replied
with a fat negative to the evacuation
scheme. It should be remembered that
the Washington circular which brought
the Russian proposal to the formal notice
Of the cabinets invited suggest ms and
info IN atrGlI rather than IN in.mo diate
decision. 1t is probable that diplomacy
Will continue active for some days while
the various governments endeavOr TO as
certain each others views Nervous Rus
sCphobes here see in the whole an elab-
crate plot against British prestige in the
far East. Russia, they say, has squared
Germany by allowing her 10 effect a par
tial reconcilia ton with France, which has
been the object of the kalser's policy for
seevral years. In return the two West
ern military powers are to support Russia
in settling the Chinese question in her
own way, which is not that of England.
Advantage has been very clevcrly taken
of American anxiety to avoid extensive
entangl ment in China in order TO induce
the United States to support the policy
of withdrawal from Pekin, which must
eventually end in stereotyping the weak
ness of the Celestial kingdom to the ul-
Innate benefit chiefy of China S powerful
northern neighbor. This, however, is very
conjectural The only positive testimony
to the views CT the Russian government
is to be found in the official memorandum
issued from St Petersburg on Saturday.
The text Of this has been carefully stud
led in all European capitals, but it still
leaves the situation in much obScurity.
Meanwhile the allied governments have
to reckon with the actual withdrawal of
the Russian legation and troops from Tien
Tsin, which Gen. Lenevitch has been di-
rected to carry out as rapidly as circum-
stances allow. At Downing street the i'm
preston is current that the British re-
ply will insist that the retirement before
a definite understanding has been arrived
at with the Chinese government would
only lead to confusion. But it is not GER
tain that Lord Salisbury has yet aban-
doned hope that Great BRIAN, the United
States and Japan can work closely to-
gether for the solution of the China ques-
ton, and his attitude may be largely de-
ternined by the information which reach
es him from Washington and TOXIC One
element must not be overlooked. Even If
the Boxers are suppressed, other Chinese
secret societies are as strong as ever.
The whole empire Is honeycombed by
these associations, and in some provinces
they form q real government. If their
members are determined either to expel
the foreigners or to overthrow the Man
chu rule, the Reorganization of China
must continue. Some RusSophobes here
hold that knowledge of this fact is the
true explanation of Russia's present ac-
ton.

HOW THE NINTH FOUGHT AT TEN TSIN

AUBURN N. Y, Sept. 3.-Mrs. Louis

Lawton, of the Ninth United States in
fantry, now doing service in China, re-
ceiyed today letter from Maj J. M.
Lee, who took temporary command of
the Ninth upon the death of Col Liscum.
in Which he gives a graphic account of
the battle of Tien Tsin and comments
upon the gallantry of Lieut.. Lawton, who
was wounded four times during the bat
tie while executing orders. Mai Lee
says that Lieut.. Lawton has been recon-
mended for a medal of honor and a
brevet and describes the lieutenant as
the most heroic, gallant spirit that
then went into battle After deploring
the loss sustained by the Ninth regi-
ment, which the major places at Is per

NO DIRECT NEWS FROM PEKIN
Latest Authentic News From the
Chinese Capital Tive Weeks Old
Crop of Shanghai RumOrs
as Large as Usual.

LONDON, Sept. A., 4:10 a. m.-The last
direct dispatch under Pekin date is now
nearly a fortnight old. An undated dis
patch has been received at Vienna re-
porting that the allied troops marched
through the imperial palace Aug 28 but
it is known this date had been fixed by
the allies as the date for marching
through the palace. There is no other
news.
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Daily Mall says that the Canton officials
have been ordered to transmit all posi-
BILE revenues to the north for war pur-
poses, and that all pay of officials from
viceroys downward has been stopped
during hostilities.
The Vienna correspondent of the Stand
ard says he has learned through a good
source that the Germans, Austrians and
Italians will remain in Pekin, even should
the Russians withdraw.
Shanghai dispatches express the most
astonishment at the idea of the evacua-
ton of Pekin. The Daily Mail says ed
itoriaily that Russia may have made
secret treaties with China behind the
hacks of the powers.
The Standard expresses gratifica ton at
the explanation that the United States
government does not approve of Rus
sia's proceedings.
The Daily Express publishes an inter
view with a New York Chinaman, Liu
Chau now staying in London, who ad-
mits Lii Hung Changs duplicity and
rooted antagonism to Western ideas, -
but thinks the allies have no choice but
to negotiate with him or to retire from
China altogether.
CAUSE OF RUSSIAN ACTION.
De BIowitz, the Paris correspondent
of the Times, asserts that the origin Of
Russia's decision TO evacuate Pekin was
her desire to frustrate the schemes of
Emperor William, and to correct the
impression produced by the emperor s
speech, attributing to Emperor Nicholas
the initiative in the appointment of
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee te
the command of the International troops
Russia also desired says M. de Blow
1tz, ito save France from the hard ne
cessity of placing her troops under Count
Won Waldersee. The United States was
also much displeased at the prospect
of their troops acting under German or
ders.
eff you compare the Russian evacua-
ton proposal with the American plan
for beginning negotiations before Count
Won Waldersees arrival, and if you add
to this the prompt adherence of France,
addressed to the United States, you have
the complete key to the Russo american
mystery"

from him since his dispatch of about the
9th ult. referring to the proposed
parade of troops through the Imperial
palace in Pekin. The contents were not
made public, but it was stated that it
contained nothing materially changing
the situation. The lack OF date led to
a determination to take energetic steps
by which all dispatches hereafter coming
to the state department from China will
have the date clearly stated
1t cannot be learned that there has been
any marked advancement of the nego-
tiations etween the powers touching the
withdrawal of the International forces
from Pekin. The plain indication is that
the powers are acting upon the informa-
ton conveyed in the last note to the
state department and are bringing all
their influence to bear upon Russia to
induce her to change her mind as to with
drawing her troops. For some reason the
authorities here seem to feel a growing
confidence that this effort will be sue
cessful. 1t is noted as fact of great
significance that the proposition is being
advanced to have Prince Ching return to
Pekin as the acting head of the Chinese
government. The suggestion is made that
the progress of this wave of reorganfZa-
ton while the interna tional troops are
still in Pekin, promising as it does speed
lily to provide an actual de facto Chinese
government with which the nations may
treat without further doubt as to it's
strengths, may solve the present problem
and put the Chinese question in fair
way to final and satisfactory settlement.
Much may depend upon the attitude of
Russia In this matter and the
manner in which. she treats this
appeal from the Chinese notables may
prove to be test of the sincerity of her
EXPRESSED desire TO deal with the Chinese
government as soon as possible.
DR.. Hill, first assistant secretary Of
state, returned to Washington today and
assumed the duties of acting head of the
state department., relieving Mr.. Adee,
who has performed these duties during
