note relative to the withdrawal of
Russia from China and the United
States response thereto were made
public yesterday by the state depart
ment. after the cabinet had fully con-
sidered the expediency of SO doing.
The correspondence is unique in the
history of diplomatic exchange. It
may be said to illustrate clever move
by which the United States govern
prescribing the policy of the powers
respecting the Chinese trouble. This
was accomplished by the state de-
partment's availing itself of the Rus
sian note to address to the powers an
inquiry as to their policies, an answer
to which scarcely can be avoided.
England Not Pleased with Proposals.
London, Sept. 1.-The afternoon
papers appear to be perplexed at the
Americo-Russian accord to secure the
prompt evacuation of Pekin. They
point out how completely this upsets
preconceived notions of the grouping
of the powers on the Chinese question
and the concensus of London's edi-
torial opinion is that the proposals
are antagonistic to British interests
and that the allies should remain in
Pekin until the Chinese government
is reestablished and the ringleaders
of the present uprising are punished.
The Globe seizes the opportunity
to indulge in unfriendly criticism, ac-
cusing the United States of breaking
the concord of the powers and play
ing into the hands of Russia against
Great Britain by supporting the sug-
gestion of the employment of Lii Hung
Chang who, the paper declares, is no.
toriously hostile to Great Britain and
friendly to Russia. The Globe urges
that the British government oppose
to the uttermost the idea of the evac-
uation of Pel<in, in which course, the
paper adds, it will be supported by
Emperor William, of Germany.
