led TO a discussion of the larger subject Of so
adjusting and harmonizing the action of the
Powers interested as to maintain complete eQui-
abrium and assure the continued peace of the
world. The French authorities have been par
.icularly active in urging that of the first
considerations was to see that any action taken
should tend toward maintaining the balance be-
tween the countries interested in the East and
there is reason to believe that these representa-
lions have had considerable influence in keeping
any one OF the nations from putting a prepon-
serating military force in China thus leading TO
counter action by some other Power and ulti-
mately TO general international disturbance
From the French point Of view, as stated by
those fully Conversant with French policy, the
chtef desire Is 10 maintain peace and union be-
tween the great Powers. and if that can be ac-
complished France VIII consider that her best
interests as well as those Of the world at large
have been served.

Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-

on November D. 1853. His father. Macmillan

the main properties Of his family, who devoted
himself TO the care of his estates and to agricult

Boxers would leave the remaining means Of
communication open. Any interruption south
OF Tien-Tsin would shut off the heart of the
trouble from the outside world. AS stated above.
Shanghai is the nearest point 10 Picking that
can be reached by cable II is hardly possible

Shanghai itself thus cut off, but the latter is SO

A BIG BILL AGAINST CHINA.
1t is said that the operations of the Boxers
rolling up a heavy bin of damages against
the Chinese Government and that this will be
made the subject of a strong demand for IN
demnity by the United States as order
is restored In China. 1t is held that under the
terms OF the treaty with China not only are
American missionaries entitled to the protection
of the Chinese Government but even their
native converts. According to the doctrine laid
down in the case of the Turkish missionary
claims the Chinese Government can be held
responsible for outrages on American citizens,
even in times of rioting, If the Government
troops its agents. fail to respond to call or
take part themselves IN the roting. This is
said to be the with the Boxer disturbances.
The treaty provision covering the cases of the
American missionaries and their native con-
verts is contained in Article xxx of the

SAYS BOXERS ARE ONLY A RABBLE.

Berlin. June 1.-THE correspondent here of
The Associated Press saw the Chinese Ambassa-
dor at Berlin to-day. Through an interpreter
he said
l have had no news whatever from the
Chinese Government about the Boxer rebellion.
The Boxers are a mere rabble-robbers thieves
and rasca's. There are no scholars, maudarlns
or officials among them. The reports that
Chinese soldiers have attacked the international
forces cannot possibly be true. The Empress
opposes the Boxers and the troops could not act
against her. The Boxers will soon be sup
pressed. They could have been suppressed by
the Chinese troops without landing the interna-
tional forces. The Embassies could have been
protected by guards of Chinese If the Embassies
had asked for them.
