Belief That Russia Has Taken Steps
in That Line.
AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES
Negotiations to Be O pened as
Soon as Practicable.
TO EVACUATE PEK n

LONDON, August 3O.-Diplomatic circles
in London appear to be satisfied that Rus
sa has either directly sent circular notes
to the powers proposing the opening of
peace negotiations or had reached an
agreement with the United States regard
ing the basis on which the government at
Washington will initiate it's action. Russia
may prefer the latter arrangement on the
ground that the United States has no en-
tanglement like Manchuria calculated to
arouse the suspicious of the powers. Moth
ing definite, however, seems to be known
at the legations in London except Russia's
great anxiety to end the prevailing condi-
tions as speedily as possible. The opinion
is expressed that Russia believes. as pre-
liminary to the negotiations. that the allied
forces should evacuate Pekin and retire
with their resident ministers. Europeans
and native Christians to Tien Tsin, whence
they can better treat with the most re-
SponSble Chinaman available.
1t Is pointed out that though some gov
ernments are inclined to recognize LII Hung
Chang's powers there is a feeling In some
quarters that 1t would be more sat1sfac-
tory to all concerned and would carry more
weight with the Chinese themselves could
some representative prince belonging to the
reigning dynasty be found with whom to
arrange FERNS. If, however, LII Hung
Chang can secure any kind of credentials
from the dowager empress 1t seems to be
the opinion that his authority will not be
too closely scrutiniZed, except, possibly, by
Germany, especially If Ii Hung Chang can
demonstrate that he has the support OF the
powerful southern viceroys.
The officials of the foreign office informed
a representative of the Associated Press
this afternoon that Russia had made GER
tain suggestions relative to China, but
they were unwilling to consent to their
publication at present.

Glass Manufacture in Germany

The manufacture of glass in Germany,
comparatively a new venture, has become
thriving industry, according to United
States Consul John F. Winter at Annaberg,
writing under a recent date to the State
Department. The fact that 400 factories,
giving employment TO $4,000 workmen, are
now engaged in this industry seems TO bear
out the consuls statement in this regard.
For some thirty years past the importa-
ton of glass into Germany from other
European countries has been steadily los
ing ground, and now Germany exports 20
these countries bottles Of every descrip-
ton and other kinds of glass.
Naturally" concludes Consul Winter
German manufacturers have not yet
reached that stage where they can COM
pete with Belgium in mirrors or with Ven
ice in fancy cOlored decOratiOns.'

SENATOR SEWELL'S VIEWS.
Thinks Apathy Will BE Succeeded by
Great Political Activity.

Senator Sewell of New Jersey was in
Washington today, returning home from
the Hot Springs, Va. He has been taking
the baths there for a month, and is very
much improved in health. Senator Sewell
says that, while there has been apathy in
the campaign thus far, he believes that
in the next two months it will warm up,
and that the people will take an interest in
politics.
AS to the result, he says that there is
no reason to believe that Mckinley will
not be stronger than he was four years
ago. The lack of interest now will be re-
placed by the earnest campaign work that
is to go forward from now on. Senator
Sewell will take very active interest in
the campaign, devoting his time to New
Jersey and other eastern states.

cusations Of Captain Crenshaw, who died
at Atlanta after stating that he had re-

ESCAPED THE PEKIN SIEGE.
Edward GriftOn of New York Relates
Thrilling ExDerfence.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 30.-Ed-
win Grifton of New York, who has repre-
sented an American concern in China about
ten years, passed through this city today
en- route from Pekn to New York. He was
in Pekin at the time of the siege. With
others, he says. he escaped by means OF
an old underground passage to shack
without the city walls 1.-The passageway
through which we escaped" said Mr.. Grif-
ton. lied from one of the altars in the
temple. I could not say how many days
we were going through that passageway
with its innumerable doors. Our food was
about gone when, the third day, we
came to an iron door fastened with en-
ormous bolts. We had a hard time break
ing in the door. After travelling perhaps a
mile further. we were made joyous by see
ing signs of life
Speaking of the situation In China, as
Indicated by the latest information, Mr.
Grifton said
II think 1t will be a long time before any
substantial peace negotiations can be ar
rived at because of the lack of cooperation
on the part of the powers. The American
soldiers are making a fine showing in the
orient. They are without question respected
to greater extent and more feared by the
Boxers than all the others combined

FEELING IN NEW ENGLAND
COMMISSIONER EVANS GIVES THE
RESULT OF HIS OBSERVATIONS.
Imperialism PrOnonnced Ridiculous
People Are Proud Of the
Administrations.

Commissioner Evans has returned here
from a trip to New England, where he
went two weeks ago. Mr.. Evans made a
number of speeches while he was in Maine,
and he came in contact with many people
of New England and had an excellent op-
portunity to learn their feelings in regard
to the administration.
Speaking to a Star reporter today, Mr.
Evans said the people of Maine regard
the issue of imperialism so indifferently
that 1t was impossible to discuss 1t with
any one whether democrats or republi-
cans.
II found no disafection with the party
while was in the NORTH" said Mr.. Evans.
land no dissatisfaction with the admins
tration. 1 took particular pains to see II
l could find republicans who were dissatis-
fled with the administration, but had my
trouble for my pains.
imperialism Ridiculous
How do the New Englanders regard the
issue of imperialism?' he was asked
imperialism is ridiculed,'' he replied.
Even democrats in New England admit
that Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson
and Stephen A. Douglas, the great leaders
of the democratic party in the past. were
all eXpanSionistS. You cannot even get up
a discussion on Imperialism in Maine
THE only difficulty with the republican
party in New England is that a feeling of
confidence in the result of the election
makes them Indifferent about voting, while
the democrats always vote. Our people are
all sanguine of success Every one thinks
the election can go but one way.
Proud Of the Administration.
II found the people supporting the admin
istration and proud Of it. There Is a very
general impression Of satisfaction among
them. They are proud Of the way our for
eign affairs have been conducted, especially
the determination TO maintain the honor
and good name of American citizenship"

communication relating to Lii Hung Chang

DE PARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, August "a. 1900.
''The follow ing note was received by us
from the charge of the Russian government
at this capital August II:
az have just received a communication
from the imperial government informing
me of the resolution of the admirals of the
allied fleets interdicting the plenipotentiary
of the Chinese government, Ii Hung Chang.

authorities in the event of his arrival at
Taku.
This resolution being inexpicable In
view Of the fact that all powers have rec
ognized the utility of admitting his Oh
Hung Chang's) services, in the eventual
negotiations for peace, and especially be-
cause it would be impossible for him to
fulfill his mission in the character OF Chi
nese plenipotentiary If this were done, 1t
would be desirable that the interested gov
ernments should give, orders to counter
mand the above mentioned decision.
Inquiry of Admiral Remey, commanding
our fleet at Taku, was first answered that
now cables that the admirals have agreed
to write The dean of the legations in Pekin
for instructions in case Ii Hung Chang
should arrive at Taku, and meantime not
to allow him to communicate with Chinese
shore authorities. Remey dissented from
last proposition.
I'VE take the same view expressed in the
Russian note. In interests of peace and
effective presentation of just demands of
all powers against China, it seems impor-
tant that the Chinese plenipotentiary should
be able to communicate both with his own
government and it's military commandant.
