LYndon, Aug. 31.-The Russo-Amer-
lean surprise" as it is called, is the
chief feature of the morning papers.
While Russia's part in the proposal is
regarded with editorial suspicion, it is
generally recognized that the fight of
the empress dowager and the en-
peror renders the situation extremely
difficult, and, therefore, that it might
be wise to adopt the Russo-American
program as the solution of the prob.
lem. AT the same time very, strong
feeling is displayed in favor of a
more vigorous line of policy.

ACTION ON RUssIA's NOTE


Washington, Aug. 31.-The United
States government having acted upon
the Russian proposition as to the with
drawal Of troops from, Peking, is now
quietly waiting for responses to the
notes which have been sent to our va
rious representatives for presentation
TO the powers. Judging by the rate of
progress made in the preceding nego-
tiations, several days and perhaps
week may pass before all of these re-
plies are received. According to their
formal expressions, all of the powers
are agreed upon this one point-they
do not desire to enter upon formal
war upon China. The United States
government is trying to bring about
this result. For the moment it finds
itself side by side with Russia, whose
earnestness cannot be questioned at
this time The object now in view is
70 bring about situation in China
that will admit Of the beginning of ne
gotiations looking to the re-establish-
ment of order and the cessation of
lhostilities with the assurance Of pro-
lection to foreign life and property.
After that the negotiations may touch
I upon other questions that remain to
ne settled. 1t is with this object that
Russia has suggested the withdrawal
from Peking, in order that the Chinese
! government may resume the reins of
power. for the Chinese people, being
guided by externals, are not apt to
yield fealtyt to government not IN
possession OF its own capital. The
