Latest Dispatch From Picking Nearly
a Fortnight Did.
London, Sept. 5.-The last direct dis
patch under Picking date is now near
ly a fortnight old. An undated dis
patch has been received at Vienna re-
porting that the allied troops marched
through the imperial palace Aug. 70,
but it is known this date had been
fixed by the allies as the date for
marching through the palace. There is
no other news. The H%ongkong cores
pondent of the. Daily News says that
the Canton officials have been ordered
to transmit all possible revenue to the
north for war purposes and that all
nay of officials from viceroys down.
ward, has been stopped during hostil-
ities. The Vienna correspondent OF the
Standard says he has learned through
A Good Source
that the Germans, Austrians and 1tal-
fans will remain in Peking even should
the Russians withdraw. Shanghai dis
patches express the utmost astonish-
ment at the idea of the evauation Of
Picking. The Daily Mail says, editorial
Nv. that Russia may have made secret
treaties with China behind the backs
of the powers. The Standard expresses
qualification at the explanation that
the United States government does not
approve Of Russia's proceedings. M.
de Blowitz, the Paris correspondent
Of the Times, asserts that the origin
Of Russia's decision to evacuate Pc
king was her desire to Illustrate the
schemes of Emperor William and to
~correst
A The ~ImpressiOn Produced
by the kaiser's speech a%ttributing to
Emperor Nicholas the initiative In the
appointment Of Field Marshal Coun
Won Waldersee to the command OF the
International troops. Russia also de-
sired" says NJ. de B1owitz. Ito save
France from the hard necessity OF
placing her troops under Count Won
waldersee. The United States was
also much displeased at the porspect
of their troops acting under German
orders. If you compare the Russian
evacuation proposal with the American
plan for beginning negotiations before
Count Won Waldersee's arrival, and IT
you add to this the prompt adherence
Of France, addressed to the United
et.tes, you have the complete key to
the Russo-American mystery"

and tied together the tails Of two of
the cattle. Then Mckinney urged the
cows to pull in opposite directions, and
they tugged so we'll and hard that the
tail of one of the cows was completely
torn from it's socket and the tail OF
the other was almost severed from Its
body.
