London, Sept. 3, a. m.-The Shanghai
correspondent o. the Times says:
A telegram received by Ii Hung Chang
from the Chinese minister al Berlin on
Friday states that Germany is prepared
10 act in concert with Russia with a view
10 the settlement of the China question.
Russia having consented TO withdraw
troops from the capital, Germany viii
probably follow suit
While IL is evident that the return OF
the Emperor and court 10 Ptkin Is neces-
sary 10 enable final negotiations to pro-
coed, and also that the existing situation
is fraught with serious danger, there Is
no reason 10 anticipate that the southern
viceToys will have any great difficulty in
persuadlng the Empress 10 return. pro
yided her personal inyiolatility is guar
anteed.
'On the other hand Ii is absolutely GER
tain that general withdrawal of troops
would be followed by protraeted pour
parlers. compromises. and intrigues, such
as were foreshadOwed by the appointment
OF Ii Hung Chang as plenipotentiary.
This would be equivalent 10 a complete
surrender of the rights Of civilizat tion In
China, and likely would entail a renewal
OF disorder at no distant date. Failure 10
punish the guilty and exact satisfactory
guarantees for the future before the eysc-
uation of Pekin BY the allied forces would
nullify the results achieved and Increase
hereafter thOUsand-fold the influence Of
the anti-fOreign party.
Chinese public opinion is freely ex-
pressed, even by officials TO the effeer
that II the reacti0nary leaders are not
made 10 suffer the extreme penalty. re-
organization and reform would be alike
impossible.
The explanation Of the landing OF jap
anese troops al Annoy, as generally ac-
cepted by local officials acquainted with
the nature OF Ii Hung Chang's receat
negotiations, IS that the japanese gOVeyn-
ment obtained information that In had
been arranged a. the suggestion of the
yiCerOy for Russia ana Germany to enter
into an agreement TO take the lead in 40
sotiatiOns for final settlement. Eith tba

ers to terms as satisfactory as possible

constituted, including recognition OF the

vile Roekhill. special commissioner OF
the United States government 10 inyessi-
gate and report On conditions In China,
in aR interview with a representative OF
the Associated Press. emphasizing the i'm
pcrtance Of the harmonious action Of the
powers as q measure OF self-defense.
said:
If the Chinese government is able 10
break the concert Of nations and to bring
about a disagreement on the part OF any
government in such way as 10 secure any
relaxation Of the joint demands. all the
foreigners in China may as well pack up
and leave.
This is the best opportunity 10 settle
for all time the status os foreigners in
China. If that natter is not settled now.
the Chinese will be encouraged TO persis.
in their present policy, and the powers
viii have the whole trouble TO thrash over
again every two or three years. l believe
that all the governments are impressed
with this truth. and | believe most OF
them realize that a definite and perna-
ment settlement OF the status of foreign
ers and the establishment OF freedom Of
free trade are more important 10 them
row than the acquisition of territory.
Proef Of Imperial GEiIr.
This has been a deliberately planned
movement on the part of the Chinese
government 10 expel all foreigners, The
DEGREES printed in the Imperial Gazette
prove this. The movement has been prac-
tieaIly successful, since every foreigner in
the interior has been obliged 10 seek
refuge in the treaty ports. The imperial
government merely utilized the Boxers
as convenient accessories 10 its schemes.
'iFhe relief of Pekin is merely an Incl
dent of the crisis. The really important
work remains to be done. Marquis Ito,
probably the best-informed man alive on
Eastern politics, said that the present
was the greatest crisis In the history OF
China, and that all preceding Eastern
questions surk into insignificanee beside
il. Are civilized nations TO yield 10 the
Chinese eoneeit of their own superior
ity?"
Mr.. RoekhiU and other officials in
Shanghai. like the public, are utterly ~
uorant of the course OF diplomatic and
military events In Pekin. The consuls Of
the various governments have sent fire.
