Washington. Oct. 26.-In diplomatic
quarters there is felt 10 be some signjh-
canoe in the fact that France. Russia
and Japan, as well as the United
States. have not yet accepted the invi-
tation to accept the principles OF the
Anglo-Cerrnan alliance. 1t Is under
stood that this non action Of the povr-
ers is not due TO any concerted MOVE
ment among them. although each ap-
pears to be hating upon the third
clause.
A diplomatic official said. today. that
on mature consideration Of this third
clause II was seen to involve two Con-
structions: First. that If any power
took territory in China. as a result Of
the present trouble, that Germany ana
Great Britain also would take territory;
or, second. that If any country took
territory in China. Germany and Great
Britain would seek to prevent this &C
ton. or otherwise Jointly act against
the country seeking TO extend IT'S DO
minions Either construction, II was
pointed out, was such that the powers
not party to the agreement could not
be expected to bind themselves to its
acceptance.
Under THESE circumstances IL N6S
said that the powers probably would
seek 10 learn Russia's views on the
third clause, as Russian approval un-
doubleday would remove the idea that
there Is any possible menace intended.
Blu. it is recognized among diplomatic
officials that il would be extremely DIFF

re1oin-Lre. which she might be expect
ed 70 give, would amount 20 declare
ton that she has some territorial de-
signs on Manchuria and refusal to
answ er would be similarly open to such
construction.
The impression is growing among
the representatives Of these powers
that the present non-action VIII con-
tinue for some time and that the agree
ment will be confined to Great Britain
and Germany. AT least until there, Is

Paris. oct 26-According TO a dis
patch from Pekin. dated Oct. r. 10 the

Hung chang have communicated t.
the legation the imperial decree in, &C
cnrdance with which the princes and
ministers responsible for the recent
troubles in China are to be punished,
according to their respective degrees
of culpability. The Emperor -ccoG-
nizes that the fact that Gen. Tung FUN
Stang has committed serious offences
and he charges Prince Ching and II
Hung Chang to fix the penalties 10 be
imposed on those for whom the Euro
peans demand punishment.
The decree states that Chinese pien'-
pDtentiaries have already inflicted pun
ishment upon some princes. These
plenipotentiaries assure the Emperor
