London, Aug. 2S--The allies are re-
suming aggressive operations and have
taker the district west of Pokin. This
statement is based on Chinese author
ity cabled from Shanghai. From the
same place comes the further statement
that III Hung Chang has wired the em-
press dowager at Hsian-Fu requesting
the arrest of Prince Tuan and the dis
armament of the boxers in order to give
him an opening for negotiations with
the powers. The illuminations pro-
jected at Shanghai in celebration of the
relief of pekln have been abandoned,
lest they should cause a native out
break. The American refuge mission
aries in Annoy. according to Hong
Kong correspondent of the Daily Mall

but the United States consul has for
hidden them to do SO and urges them
to go to the Philippines or return to
America.
The Shanghai advlces to the
Daily News says the con-
sular opinion there looks upon
the Japanese action in the landing Of
troops at Annoy, despite the protests of
the cunsuls, as similar to that OF Rus
STA at New Chwang the whole indi-
eating a tendency to partition of the
empire Russian journals agree, =
says the Moscow correspondent OF the
Standard, that it is impossible to
deal with China in q spirit OF revenge,
as suggested by Emperor william.
The question can be satisfactorily set
tied to Russian minds by tho seizure
Of the northern provinces. A ST.
Petersburg special quotes Emperor
William, when wiring in answer to the
announcement that Russian regiment
had been named after him. as follows:
Il express my good wishes today with
