cd. and we think that this would make
a general withdrawal expedient As
to the time and manner of withdrawal,
we think that, in view of the imperfect
knowledge If the military situation re-
sulting from the Interruptions OF teae-
graphic communication, the several
military commanders at Picking should
be instructed to confer and agree to-
gether upon the withdrawal as a con-
centrated movement, as they agreed
upon the advance.
The result OF these considerations is
that unless there is such a general ex-
preston by the powers in favor OF con-
tinued occupation, we shall give IN
structions to the commander OF the
American forces in China to withdraw
our troops from Peking after due con-
ferenees with the other commanders as
to the time and manner OF withdrawal.
THE government OF the United
States is much gratifled by the assur-
ance given by Russia that the occCpa-
ton OF Nieu Chwang IS fof military
purposes incidental to the military
stems for the security Of the Russian
border provinces menaced by the Chi
ne,se. and that as soon as order snail
be re-established Russia will retire her
trsYps from those places il the aetlon
of the other powers be not an obstacie
thereto. No obstacle in this regard can
arise through any action of the Unltea
States. whose policy is fixed and has
been repeatedly proclaimed

LONDON, August 31.-The Associated
Press has official authority for announc-
ing that the American proposal
in favor of the withdrawal of the al
lied forces from Pekin, with the view
Of facilitating negotiations for the con-
clusion Of peace, has not only met with
considerable favor at European chan
cellories, but is almost certain to be
adopted. In the meanwhile the ques-
tion OF employing Ii Hung Chang as an
intermediary is meeting with more and
more favor, and as the Associated Press
has intimated in recent dispatches, will
in all probability, be settled af1rma-
lively as soon as Ii Hung Chang is
able to obtain the necessary authority.
The recent statement that the ad-
mirals of the powers in Chinese waters
contemplated OBTAINING Ii Hung Chang
at Taku is devoid of foundation. Ii
Hung Chang will remain at Shanghai,
endeavoring to the utmost to open COM
munications with his colleagues of the
Chinese government.
There is a growing conviction in Off
cial circles here that the withdrawal Of
the allies from Pekin is the only prac-
tical procedure under the existing cir
cumstances, and it is believed the re-
tention of the allied forces at Pekin is
liable to raise further complications of
a dangerous character and unnecessar-
lily irritate the Chinese populace.
There is, however, no doubt in official
circles that it will be necessary for the
powers to maintain their hold of the
Taku forts and certain other strate-
gical points until satisfactory terms
are arranged and ample guarantees
given by China for her future good be-
hayior.

There has been no increase in the
number of cases of the plague in this

WASHINGTON, August 31-The
Russian note relative to the withdraw
al of Russia from China and the
United States response thereto were
made public to-day by the State de-
partment, after the cabinet had fully
considered the expediency of so doing
The correspondence is unique in the
hfsto- y1f diplomats exchange. 1t
may be said to illustrate a clever move
by which the United States governt-
men again has assumed the lead in
prescribing the policy Of the powers
respecting the Chinese trouble. This
was accomplished by the State dpart-
ment awaiting itself of the Russian
note to address to the powers an in
quiry as to their policy, an answer to
which scarcely can be avoided.
Various meanings may be placed
upon the statements OF the two points
to this correspondence. Thus, on the
one hand, it may be noted that while
Russia announces a purpose to with
draw her troops from China, still, as
to the occupying force at Niu Chwarg
q condition is attached that almost
negatives the proposition as TO that
point. Respecting our own attitude,
it appears that, while believing the
In &c m rpmqtD
Pekin, our government is still willing
to withdraw.
Perhaps this means If there is to be
separate action by the powers in China.
the United States proposes to deal with
this situation with free hand. 1t may
be noted, in connection with our with
drawal statement that, whereas Russia
proposes to withdraw from China, our
offer is to withdraw only from Pekln.
A significant fact in this connection IS
that Gen. Chaffee, who is well advised
of the situation, having several days
ago been directed TO prepare for just
such an emergency as that preclpitated
by the Russian action, continues his
preparations for wintering the Amer
lean troops in China. Indeed, unless
the men are afoat and out OF the Pei
Flo within six weeks they are likely tC
remain in China perforce, being ice
bound.
Gen. Chaffee was further advised to-
day of the developments in the situa-
ton, a statement of the points in the
Rus; o. American correspondence being
caDled TO him for his guidance. AS
F,,,. J, ~ 10 mrn=naRrS of the
future it may be noted the War Depart
ment officials state that the government
has not considered the question OF the
evacuation of China.
1t scarcely is expected that even with
the aid OF cables a complete accord
can be reached upon this last PROPOSE
ton Immediately. Up TO the close of
the official day only two communica-
lions has been received in consequence
of our last note. One was from the
British foreign office. through the
American embassy, stating that Lord
Salisbury was absent from London.
and merely promising consideration OF
the note The German response was
through Mr.. Jackson. and was equally
inconclusive, indicating a wish on the
part of the German government for
time to consider the proposition. The
officials here say that they are salts
fed that Japan. at least, is fully in ac-
cord with our objects as set out in the
note and rather expect an early answer
from the government of that country.
France has not been heard from on
