The United States Anxious to Hear

WASHINGTON. Aug. SO.-The United
States government, having acted on the
Russian proposition as to the withdrawal
of troops from Picking, is now quietly wait
ing for responses to the notes which have
been sent to our various representatives for
presentation to the powers. Judging by the
rate of progress made In the preceding
negotiations several days and perhaps a
week may pass before all of these replies
are received. According to their formal
expressions all of the powers are agreed
upon this one p~oint-they do not desire TO
enter upon a formal war with China. The
