NEW YORK. Aug. So.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The British foreign Office has so far
neither definitely consented nor declined
to conduct negotiations through Ii
Hung Chang. In principle Lord Sails
bury is by no means unfavorable to the
recognition Of the viceroy as plenipo-
tentiary. provided he can produce satis-
factory credentials and give guarantees
that any arrangements made by him
could be regarded as binding on the
government OF China. 1t is not forgot
ten here that in the negotiations which
led to the Che Foo convention Earl Ii
was again and again coolly repudiated
by the Tsung Ii Yamun after he had
given the British government to under
stand that he had full power to ne
gotlate.
A good deal of interest has been Gre
ated by the announcement of an Off
cial organ in Berlin that no aggressive
or expansionist policy in China would
be regarded favorably by the German
government This is taken in some
quarters as a sign that the kaiser has
abandoned his militant designs in the
far East. outlined in his recent speech
es. but the explanation is to be found
in the attitude Of almost all influential
German newspapers outside the Off
cial ring, which have given expression
to a feeling Of alarm created in the
fatherland by the suspicion that the
emperor desires to plunge the country
into series of hazardous adventures
in eastern Asia. This apprehension is
not confined to radical and socialist or

&" This resolution being lnexplica-

that the Interested governments should

Of the legations at Pekln. instructlng
IN case II Hung Chang should arrive
AZ Taku. and meantime not to allow
him to communicate with Chinese shore
authorities. Remey dissented from the
last proposition.
I'VE take the same view expressed
In the Russian note. In interests OF
peace and effective presentation Of just
demands Of all powers against China.
Il seems important that the Chinese
plenlpotentlary should be able to COM
munlcate both with his own government
and It's military commandant. whose

spirit of the Russian note.
ANY misunderstanding or divergent
action on the subject by the representa-

unfortunate and we would be glad to

judgment should lead to a view diner

WASHINGTON. Aug 30 Tho United

Russian proposition a. 20 the withdraw
at II troops from Pekin ls now quIet-
ly waiting for responses 70 the notes
which have bsen sent 20 our various
representatives FOR presentation TO the
powers.
Judging By the rate of progress made
IN preceding negotiations. several days
and perhaps week may pass before
all these replies are received
According 70 their formal expressions.
al of the powers are agreed upon this
one point; They do not desire 10 en-
ter upon formal war upon China. The
United States government Is trying 10
bring about this result. For a moment
II finds itself side by side with Rus.
sla. whose earnestness cannot be quss-
toned n this time.
The object now IN view Is TO bring
about situation In China that Will
adml, Of the beginning OF negotiations
looking 10 the establishment OF or
der and the cessation of hOs,ilitles with
Insurance Of protection to foreign life

may touch upr7 other questions that
remain 10 be slttled. II is with this
object tha, Russia has suggested with
drawal from Pekln In order that the
Chinese government may resume the
reins ~ power; for the Chinese people
being guided by externals are not apt
10 yield fealty 20 a government not in
possession OF it's own capital.
The United States government has
earnestly champlons1 the cause Of Ii
Hung Chang from a precisely similar
motive. namely the desire to speedily
rehahllitate the Chinese government IN
order that It may carry out its ex-
press desire to settle the difficulties
which have arisen. This has been the
object OF ;he negotiations OF the last
few lays, and RussIa's note and the
response Of the United States were but
parts OF general plan,
The action OF the Japanese govern
ment In withdrawing from Annoy the
troops which have aroused the susple-
Ion OF the European powers has done
much TO clarity the situation, BY this
disclaimer OF purpose TO seize Chinese
territory. Japan has avoided an enter
ing wedge which might result In the
splitting up " the Chinese empire
among the powers.
