NEGOTIATIONS ARE
NOW AT STANDSTILL
America Awaits Responses
From the Other Powers.
SETTLEMENT is PROBABLE

Attitude of This Government Has
Opened Way For an Agreement In
China-Withdrawal of the American
Troops Left Entirely to Chaffee.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-It is stated on
good authority that the American-Rus
sian proposal in favor of the withdrawal
of the allied forces from Picking with
the view of facilitating negotiations for
the conclusion of peace, has not only
met with considerable favor at Euro
pean chancellorles, but is almost certain
to be adopted.
WASHINGTON, Aug 81.-The Chinese
negotiations remain at the same point
that they occupied yesterday. It il
stated that no conclusion has been
reached as to the last phase, namely.
the Russian proposition Of Withdrawal.
AS to the proposition to recognize II
Hung Chang as an envoy the negotia'
tions remain at stand still, no conclu.
sion having been reached. There is,
however, reason TO believe chat the way
has been opened for the settlement OF
this latter question at the proper time
on the basis Of the Japanese proposition,
which Is that Ii Hung Chang be rein
forced by Prince Ching and the viceroya
Of Marking and Han Kow. AS 1t is
pretty well understood that these three
officials are pro-foreign in their senti-
ments, and strongly inclined to make
peace on any terms, the influence Of Ii
Hung Chang, even IL sinister, would be
counteracted.
Mr.. Conger's report that Prince Ching
is coming to Picking may be regarded as
an indication that the japanese propo-
sal stands good chance of meeting
with the approval of all the powers. AS
to Ii Hung Changes whereabouts, the
state department. knows nothing, but ii
assumes that he Is still in Shanghai A
man Of his rank could scarcely conceal
himself.
It Is pointed out that the foreign adj
mirals would find it an impossible task
to restrain Ii Hung Chang from com.
municating with the imperial court.
He could easily make his way overland
to Tai Yuan Flu, where the court is re.
ported to have taken up its abode. The
same route Is also open to messengers
between Ii Hung Chang and the en-
press dowager, so that it would not be
easy to restrain his freedom of commu.
nication.

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
America Is Accused of Playing Into
the Hands of Russia.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The afternoon pa.
pers today appear to be perplexed at the
America Russian accord to secure the
prompt evacuation of Peking. They
point out how completely this upsets
preconoeived notions Of the grouping OF
the powers on the Chinese question and
the consensus Of London's editorial
opinion is that the proposals are antago
nistio TO British interests and that the
allies should remain in Picking until the
Chinese government is re-established
and the ringleaders of the present up
rising are punished.
The Globe Seizes the opportunity to
indulge IN urlfriendly criticism, accus'
ing the United States Of breaking the
concord Of the powers and playing into
the hands Of Russia against Great Brit.
ain by supporting the suggestion OF the
employment of Ii Hung Chang who,
the paper declares, is VIGOROUSLY hostile
to Great Britain and friendly to Russia.
The Globe urges the British govern
ment to oppose to the uttermost the idea
of the evacuation of Peking in which
course, the paper adds, 1t will be sup
