THE VIEWS OF GERMAN rAPERs.

mediation demanded by President MCKINNEY

United States In substantially the same posi-
tion as Germany and France
Nevertheless the German press continues to
assert that the Washington Government IS try
ing to part company with the Powers. The
"Freissinige Zeftung'' remarks:
All the Powers with one exception, refuse to
be deceived longer by Chinese double dealing.
That exception is the United States, which has
formally abandoned the concert OF the POWERS
Another circumstance which has made bad
impression here is the refusal of the American
and British admirals 10 vote to give to Russia
control over the railroad to Ten-Tsn The
''Tlerliner Tageblatt' says that this refusal is a
proof of dissension among the Powers and can
only encourage the Chinese The "Kreuz lei
tung" which repeats its pessimistic views con-
eerning the harmonious action of the Powers
asserts that the political difficulties in the way
of a united advance upon Peking are even
greater than the military difficulties.
The "Vorwaerts" contrasts President McKin-
Iey's answer to the Chinese note with Count
Won Bulow's praising President McKinley's
masterpiece and saying:
The American President plays upon China's
sympathy without In the slightest degree COM
mitlng himself. While he states certain condi-
tions clearly and energetically, he avoids every
threat and all rude rattling of the sabre. Mr.
Mckinley is really a man of fine parts.

haven, had an interview with the Russian Am
bassador and subsequently with the American

Hong Kong, July 26.-The signs of menacing
activity on the part of the secret society known
as the Trads causing alarm. The Boxers
are believed TO be an onshoot of the Triads.
whose ramifications are widespread through the
southern provinces of China. The organization
is distinctly ant-foreign and anti-Manehu, and
numbers of Canton troops enrolled in its
ranks.
A report is current in Canton that the Triads
are preparing for night attack the Sha-
meen. and that the first sign will be the alb
sconding of native servants. The greatest ap-
prehension prevails, although at present Canton
is quiet.
Many Triads have been arrested in Hong
Kong in the last few months A Chinaman who
was arrested July on charge of carrying
arms was to-day committed for trial on the
charge of being member of the Triads. The
evidence showed that he has held the rank of
second in command in the organization in the
two Kwangs. with headquarters at Sai-Kung,
new territory, where he had been active in
rolling members. His arrest therefore. is of the
greatest Importance. The insignia found upon
his person include the highest degrees.

ceed to PeIng and will return to Canton, prob
