Criticism of United States.
Vienna, Sept. 29.-The Vienna press
continues to charge the United States
with the responsibility for the renewed
outbreak of anti-foreign fanaticism IN
China and for the appointment of the
worst enemies of Europeans to important
posts in the empire The Wiener Tage-
batt declared that OH this occasion the
United States had parted company with
the rest of the civilized world.
Degradation of Tuan.
Washington, d. c., Sept 29.-From
the mass of conflicting reports in circula-
ton relative to China it Is apparent that
the administration has deduced these
facts:
That the return of the imperial govern
mcnt to Pekin will not be feasible until
ali the interested powers give guaranty
of protection, not only to the Emperor,
but to the Empress DOWager as well.
That the imperial government, which
is the Empress Dowager, is still highly
favorable to the Boxer movement, but
hope is expressed that the infOrma ton
Of the degradation of Prince Tuan &c cor
rect as in such event this government
will be able to act to preserve Chinese
territorial entity.
That none of the powers except the
TTuitnH StatnS cOn+on,nIa al 1ro I
Of troops from China.
Will Protect the Dowage
1t was explained today that this GOV
ernment had no disposition to punish the
Empress Dowager, and that when
peace negotiations were inaugurated
Minister Conger would be authorized to
extend to her The protection he would
offer in the case of the Emperor. Ii
Hung Chang is OF in Pekin and Prince
Ching will not begin negotiations until
he arrives. Minister Conger will not
representative of the Chinese govern
ment who participated in the Boxer
movement.
The authorities place no credence i'll
the report that Russia contemplates
blockading Chinese ports, as such a
course would jeopardize Russias plan of
posing as the friend of China.
German Plan Modified.
London, Sept 29.-Apparently Ger
manys retreat from an untena bic posi-
ton has been virtually accomplished.
The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Post says:
IAN agreement on the Chinese pro-
gramme has been arranged between
France, Germany and Russia. 1t will
be submitted to the other powers within
a few days. The action recommended
will be milder than Germany's original
proposal and it is expected that all the
powers will accept the programme"
The Cologne Gazette, in another semi
official statement, apparently intended
for consumption in the United States and
England, points out the serious position
resulting from Prince Tuan's ascendancy
the continued massacre of missionaries
and converts, and other indications that
the anti-foreign movement is directed
from an influential center" 1t thinks
that the situation thus credited must
appear intolerable, even to those powers
favoring a policy of indulgence and for
bearance."
