ANOTHER CHINESE EDIcr.

Conduct the Ministers safely
60 Tien Tain.

London, Aug. 0.-Beyond the OIL
cIal dispatches given out yesterday
morning, the papers contain no in
formation of importance from China.
Thanks to the dispatches Of Sir Claude
Macdonald and Rear Admiral Bruce,
there Is n general disposition to take
more hopeful view Of the situation.
The report Of the appointment OF
Field Marshal Count Won Waldcrscc
as commnnder-in-chicf of the interna-
tional forces meets with general mp
proval.
The text OF the edict Of August 2,
authorizing the escort OF the minis
tcrs from Pekin to Ticn Tsin, given
out ut the Chinese legation, says In
part: "In view of the existence OF
hostilities between certain Chinese
rebels and foreign powers, caused by
the anti Christian feelings OF the Chi.
ncse people, we have afforded reason
able protection to the foreign repre-
sentatives in Pekin, and the tsung-li-
yamen has sent to the legations let
tiers of inquiry and proposals for their
safe conveyance under escort to Tien
Tsin. in order to avoid apprehension
of further attack from rebels before
the complete restoration of peace
and order in the capital. We have
now. on the advice of III Hung Chang
and Liu Kun vi, TO authorize iung
Liu to escort them to Tien Tsin. II
there be any rebels en- route trying
to endanger the safety Of the party,
the officials have to destroy the rebels
ut once"
The Chinese legation believes that
the members of the foreign legations
have not yet left Pekin but that they
will do so, and declares that the edict
would not have been issued had not
the foreign ministers signified n will
ingness to accept the escort.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Daily News. wiring yesterday. says:
"United States Consul Goodnow
strongly opposes Admiral Seymour's
intention to land 5000 troops. on the
ground that such an act would not be
warranted by the circumstances and
would be likely to create trouble. NJ
Dezaure. the French consul, agrees to
the arrangement, but says that II the
British land forces, the French will
do likewise. The Austrians also will
land men. My personal opinion Is
that the landing of troops here at
the present moment would be a grave
mistake"
