Washing Sept. TN iIister WI
. was again an early caller at the state
department Saturday and spent nearly
an hour in conference with Acting Sec
rotary Adee. He notified Mr.. Adee YER
bally Of the appointment of Yung Lu
as an envoy, but had NO further infor-
nation to communicate. He was
rather in search Of news himself, and
was much interested in short dis
patch from Minister Conger describing
the conditions in Peking. The state
depar tment, while declining to make
this message public, authorizes THE
statement that the dispatch indicated
that no change had taken place in po-
itical conditions in Peking.
No Word from Russia.
Russia has not yet officially notified
our government Of any change in it's
programme as to the evacua ton of
Picking. In fact nothing has been
heard from Russia on this point since
the United States reply was returned,
save one short note explanatory of
some obscure points in the first Rus
sian communication. 1t is probable
that this absence of further COM
munication on this subject. is to be ex-
!, planned by the fact that the Russian
-
change in it's original programme. It
merely gives a different in depreciation
to the details of that programme from
the understanding that obtained
abroad. The United States govern
ment is forcing precisely the same
course as to its own note and reply, SO
that the effect of these diplomatic ac-
tions is to leave the military COM
manders of both the United States and
Russia at Picking practically free to de-
termine for themselves the propriety
of evacuation, according to the condi-
tions of the agreement
LIS Trip to Picking.
Since the first manifestation months
ago of disposition on the part of the
naval commanders of some of the
powers at Taku to interfere with the
movements of Ii Hung Chang, our
government has been advised of nc
further opposition to his protected
trip to Picking. Consequently officials
here are puzzled by certain press dis.
patches indicating that he may be de-
tanned through international jealous.

this report should prove true, it would
only go to confirm the fears of the ad.
ministration as to the possibility Of
an international conflict at almost
any moment.

patch from Shanghai, dated Friday

Shanghai, Sept. 1.-THE news OF
the contemplated withdrawal of the
I allies from Picking has caused great
sensation and is regarded here as a
great mistake, which is likely tc
eventuate in disturbances in other
parts of China, where the people are
certain to attribute the evacuation tc
a defeat of the European forces. Even
here the Chinese, as whole, do not
believe that the allies ever reached
2 Picking. They think the story fab.
rication eoncocted for the purpose o1
imposing upon the officials. +.
Competent observers believe that a
lesson must be brought home to China
now in order to prevent serious out
I breaks in the future. ... ...,. T.. =. -.
