NEW YORK. September 1.-The French
line steamer La Touraine arrived from
Valois, United States Commissioner to the
Paris exposition. He defended Commits
sioner General Peck from the cabled
charge that he acted discourteously to
State representatives at the exposition.
In speaking of the story that Mr. Peck
had secretly worked to prevent Mrs. Man
ming and Mrs. Potter Palmer from being
decorated by the French government, he
said:
THAT is impossible, for I know how
such things are done. The names for the
legion of honor are handed in and passed
on their merits. / know that Mr.. Peck
presented the names of Mrs. Manning.
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Michael II. De-
Young for the order AS TO there being
criticism over there being so many repre-
sentatives from the United States and the
difficulty of supplying all with invitations
to entertainments all that | can say is
that there is always trouble when a big
enterprise, like the exposition. is under

SHANGHAI, Sept. 2.-Mr. William
Woodville Rockhill. special commits
sioner of the United States Government
to investigate and report on conditions
in China, in an interview with a rep
resentative of the Associated Press,
emphasizing the Importance of the har-
monious action of the powers as a
measure of self defense, said:
IF the Chinese Government is able
to break the concert of nations and TO
bring about disagreement on the part
of any government, in such way as
to secure any relaxation of the joint
demands, all the foreigners in China
may as well pack up and leave.
This is
The Very Best Opportunity
to settle for all time the status of for
eigners in China. If that matter is
not settled now, the Chinese will be en-
couraged to persist in their present pol
icy, and the powers will have the whole
trouble to thresh over again every
two or three years. l believe that all
the governments are impressed with
this truth; and | believe most of them
realize that a definite and permanent
settlement of the status of foreigners
and the establishment of freedom of
trade are more important to them now
than the acquisition of territory.
This has been
A Deliberately Planned Movement
on the part of the Chinese government
to expel all foreigners. The DEGREES
printed in the Imperial Gazette prove
this. The movement has been practi-
cally successful, since every foreigner
in the inerior has been obliged to seek
refuge in the treaty ports. The imper-
ial government merely utilized the
Boxers as convenient accessories to
its schemes.
"The relief of Peking is merely an
incident of the crisis. The really i'm
portant work remains to be done. Mar
quis Ito, probably the best informed
man alive on eastern politics, said to
me that the present was the greatest
crisis in the history of China, and that
all preceding questions sunk into in
significance beside it.
Civilized Nations to Yield
to the Chinese conceit of their own SUI
periority?"
Mr.. RockhiH and other officials in
Shanghai, like the public. are utterly
ignorant of the course of diplomatic
and military events in Pekin. The
consuls of the various governments
have sent frequent kilograms to their
respective ministers but have been I'M
able to get replies. 1t is suspected that
official messages are tempered with be-
tween Shanghai and Che Foo.
The attitude of the southern viceroys
in protecting foreigners commands con-
fidence in their good faith; and nego-
tiations will probably be conducted
through them.
There is Financial Panic
in Chinese business circles here. Prob
ably an important factor is the money
rate, which is now SO per cent per
month. The traders are trying TO get
the oar of thp officials
Lii Hung Chang still remains in
Shanghai. He is thoroughly discred-
tied, but is intriguing TO get the for
eigners to quarrel among themselves.
To-day he told American and English
diplomats that the RussianE had prom
ised TO withdraw from Pekin regard
less of the policy OF other nations. His
statement is not believed.
On the contrary it is thought prob

WASHINGTON, D. c. September q
So far as can be ascertained there were
no important developments in the Chi
nese situation here to-day. The Off
Gals maintain unusual reticence. They
say they have no information to make
public regarding the replies to the
American-Russia propositions regard
ing the withdrawal of the military
forces of the powers from Pekin. Mr..
Adee, the acting Secretary of State, has
decided for the present not to make any
statement as to the names of the pow
ers which answered, or to indicate
whether the replies are of an affirma-
tive Or negative character, on the
ground that publication of the attitude
of the powers might embarrass the ne
gotiations at this time. 1t is therefore
impossible to learn definitely to what
extent answers have been received. In
diplomatic circles the opinion prevails
that none of the great powers have as
yet reached final determination as to
the course they will pursue.

MANILA, Sept-The Filipinos seem
incapable of realizing the scope and
purpose OF the legislative functions OF
the commission of peace. There is no
possibility of separating the legisla-
tive from the executive branches of the
government: and therefore the COM
missions announcement of its assump-
ton of power yesterday met with chi
dish comments at the hands of the
Spaniards and foreigners, who sheer at
the new arrangement as they are apt TO
do at every beneficial innovation on
The part of the United States authorl-
ties.
The commission enters upon the gov
ernniental 1eld under the following
conditi ms:
A majority of the islanders desire
peace and the resumption OF business
under the Americans; but they are SO
cowed by long series of murderous
atrocities and destruction OF property
by their armed countrymen that they
dare not actively show their feelings,
especially because experience has
taught them what such an expression
of sentiment Will bring upon them from
the merciless revengeful rebels. A gen.
uine reign of terror is exercised by In
surgents and ladrones over peaceful
country folk in order to collect the rev.
enue and recruits their operations re-
quires, and
Wide Spread Vengeance
is wreaked in the vicinity of garrisoncd
towns.
For example, the sinsurgent General
Cables. in the province of Laguna, put
to death the president and office-hold-
ers Of the town of Bay, on Laguna
Bay, officials who had been installed by
the Americans, and gave orders that a
similar fate should be melted out to
other adherents of the American cause.
He also ordered that all Filipino sold
iers who sold their rifles to the Ameri-
cans should be shot Any change OF
policy involving the withdrawal of the
United States troops, without substi-
tuting for them an adequate defen-
sve force is certain to result In fear
full retaliation at the expense OF the
friendless. The approaching patriation
of the volunteers tends to influence the
situation rmfavorably.
In northern Luzon, the status quo is
fairly well maintained and the people
in that quarter are quiet and engaged
in planting, but in southern Luzon con-
ditions are
Far From Satisfactory
Life there is not safe outside the gar
risoned towns. Travellers are subject
to ambush by guerrillas. Rarely does
day pass without an encounter be-
tween the United States troops and
the insurgents or ladrones, resulting In
casualties. There are $4,000 troops in
that district, General Bates command
ing, and in three regiments over
third of the men are sick.
The activity of the enemy increased
last month.
There is evidence that the insurgents
have come into possession of new rifles
and that they wish TO annihilate some
small American garrison.
Conditions in the Visayans continue
virtually unchanged.

OHCIalS are
Watching With Interest
the editorial comment of the European
press as indicative of the sentiment pre-
vaillng in the various countries of Eu-
rope No cablegrams from China were
given to the press by any of the depart
ments to-day. Acting Secretary Adee
was at the State Department during tho
day, but ne said tonight that no tele-
grams of consequence had been re-
ceived.
Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister, still
remains at Cape May, but at the lega-
ton it was said there had not been a
dispatch received during the day.
The latest word concerning Id Hung
Changs whereabouts was contained in
the Associated Press cable from Shang-
hal tonight stating that Lii was still
there. The report that the foreigners
there generally discredited him was
read read with interest in diplomatic
circles The
Suspicion of His Motives
there seem to be shared by meany of
the diplomats here.
An interesting bit of information re-
garding the Empress Dowager came to
Washington in a roundabout way to-
day. 1t was to the effect that the Brit
ish government had received word that
the Empress was going from Tyan Flu,
in the province of Shansi, to which
place she had fed after her escape from
Pekin, to Hsinan Flu Tyan Flu is
further west than HsinanFu, indicating
that she is moving still further away
from the Chinese capital. The report
says nothing of the Emperor's move
ments. 1t is suggested as a possibility
that he may have left her encourage
and that he may have decided either to
remain where he is or
To Return to Pekin.
His return to the capital city would
probably completely change the situa-
ton. He belonged to the progressive
party before he was compelled to sign
the imperial rescript of 1898, and if
restored to power peace negotiations
would undoubtedly be facilitated. The
powers would have more confidence in
him than in the reactionary party. De-
spite the Empress coup of two years
ago, diplomats here familiar with Chi
nese affairs, say the Chinese people re-
gard him as their rightful ruler.
The government officials apparently
are not concerning themselves over the
situation at Annoy.
