WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent }

(From our regular Correspordent.)
Washington, d. c.. S.pt 3cd, 1900
There is much chagrin in official
circles because OF what seems to have
been almost general misnpp-ehension
of the position of this government, as
stated III the published reply to the
Russian proposition 10 withdraw the
allied troops from Chira. Because
that reply stated that if Rl:sia with,
drew its troops, the U. >. would do
likewise, the conclusion gems to have
been generally jun cl 10 that this
government had endo',el the Russian
proposition. The Communication was
anything but an enlargement. 10
diplomatic circles it is considered to
have been almost a protest against the
Russian proposition, emphasized by
the rather plain hint that if Russia
alone withdrew her troops at this time
this government would ragard'it as o
breaking up of the alliance and would
act accordingly. Many notes are be
ing exchanged by the powers, but act
ing Secretary of State, Adee, says tina
mono Of them will be made puolic uu
til some definite program has beer
agreed to by the powers.
