London Papers Discuss the Question Of
What All Sin Is to Pay.
London, Aug. 1S.-The Morning
Post, referring to the relief of the le-
gationers at Picking, says: To-day is
not only day of national rejoicing; it
it also day of congratulation for all
the powers of the world" Proceed
ing to discuss the probabilities of a
cessation of hostilities The Post as
sumes that the United States are will
ing to abandon any idea of further ag-
gressive action, but it questions the
disposition of Germany and the other
powers to agree to such course. The
Berlin correspondent of The Post says
he learns that no formal request for
an armistice has yet reached the pow
ers, and that 1t Is improbable that any
such request would be granted.
The other papers comment guarded
ly ON the general situation, owing to
the lack of definite news when the
editorials were written. Most of
them advocates a stern inquisition re-
garding outrages and the punishment
Of the leaders even il they have to be
pursued all over China. The Daily
Graphic, in a paragraph apparently
inspired, says there is no reason to be-
lieve that any of the powers will re-
pudiate the previous understanding
to respect the integrity of the empire
and the dynasty.
Shanghai dispatches say that EN-
peror Kwang Su accompanied the en-
press dowager to Hsian Flu much
against his will. Prince Tuan COM
manded the rear guard of the imperial
escort, of which Boxers formed 60 per
cent. 1t was expected that General
Tung Fuh Slang would follow after
the arrival of the allies. All the pal
ace treasures were sent to Hsian Flu.
The hearsay accounts of the method
of entry into Picking are contradictory
some maintaining that there was Sc
we're fighting and others that the en-
trance was not opposed.
According to a Berlin dispatch the
Berliner Post says: "a great thing has
been done, but greater must be done
before the allied powers will be salts
fid. 1t remains to obtain redress for
tn eattacks upon the legations and 9th
err wrongs, particularly the assassina-
ton of the German minister, and to
install a government which will pun
ish the guilty and give ample guaran-
tees against the recurrence of similar
| crimes" The National Zietung, the
| Freisinnige Zeitung and the Vossische
| Zeitung express themselves in sim

generally as fact that the dowager
empress, in company with the emperor
and large suite, had left Picking.
