LONDON, Sept. 3--Lord Sa aisbury's
formal reply to the Russian-AmeIiC lean p O.
posaI for the withdrawal of troops from
the Chinese capital is awaited with the
keonest anxiety in every fos e.gn dp,o-
matte centre, for it is eorcsdsd that there
will be practically no development in the
situation until Great B.itain's policy is
definitely known.
1t is all but certain that England will
decline to agree to the withdrawal propo-
sition, prominent officials declare, ana it is
not improbable that Lord Salisbury VIII
present a proposal on the nations behalf
with view TO bringing about harmony of
the powers in the arrangement OF the Chi
neSe problem.
There is nothing abso:ute upon which to
base belief that Great Britain will pr
sent a counter proposition, which WI
thoroughly explain the nations position,
but it is suggested today from several r.
liable quarters that this Is uore than like
ly to be the outcome OF Lord salisbury 5
deliberations.
There is little or no news from China to-
day. The allies in all parts of the Empire
seem to he awaiting orders and the orders
vii! certainly not come until their Govern
ments have come to an understanding as to
what policy is 10 be pursued il dealing
with the Oriental problem.
It is not known when Great Britain viii
officially define her attitude in this graveIy
important matter, but it is expected that
her answer to the proposals that have been
made Will be forthcoming within q few
