THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The government in Washington has
been advised OF the answer made by the
various powers to Russia's proposal to
Withdraw from Pekin While none OF
them assent to the Russian proposal
they all show a compromising spirit,
which ensures harmonious action in
dealing with China, but it is believed
that the diplomatic exchanges now 60
ing on among the powers will result in
keeping the allied troops in Pekin.
The Chinese minister in London has
sent a memorial to Lord Salisbury
strongly urging him to agree to Rus.
sia's proposition and withdraw the
British troops from the Chinese capital.
The official Journal de St. Petersburg,
reiterstiDg the statement that Russia's
only desire as to China is to end the
disturbance as speedily as possible,
preparatory to which the re-establish-
ment of the Chinese government is
necessary" contends that military
action beyond Pekin would only arouse
fresh complications"
Twelve hundred more British troops

Washington, September 6.

Washington, September 6.
The official announcement was made
today at the State department that the
powers have decided to retain their
forces in Pekin. All OF the powers
have made response to Russia's propo-
sition for the evacuation of the Chinese
capital and the replies have been COM
municated to the State department.
They are unanimous ia declaring their
belief that 1t would be dangerous for
the international troops to leave Pekin
now. Under these circumstances 1t is
supposed that Russia will have to mod
ify her proposal and the question yet
to be decided is what compromise can
De agreed upon. II is announced at
the State department that the answer
of Germany to the Russian proposal
while couched in concilia' DRY terms and
manifestiDg desire to maintain hsr-
monious relations with the other pow
ers is most positive IN the expression OF
Germany's determination not to with
draw from Pekin.

the powers allow the peace commits
sioners of China to be dominated by
anti-foreign influences. While it is dif-
ficult to ascertain the real attitude OF
high Chinese officials towards the for

10 Pekin are acquainted with the char
acters and sympathies of all those who
might be selected by China to conduct
the negotiations. Any names that may
be suggested by China for this pur-
pose will therefore be submitted to the
ministers before being accepted by the
powers as negotistors.
