WITH GERMANY
An Effort to Induce Her to Abandon
Demand for Surrender of Instiga-
tors of Anti-Foreign outrages.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
London, Sept %, $3.50 a. ma semi
official announcement has been issued
in st. Petersburg that the European
cabinets are engaged in an endeavor
to induce Germany to abandon her de-
mand for the surrender of the instiga-
tors of the anti-fOreign outrages as a
preliminary to peace negotiations.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle asserts that Russia $
reply to the German note is very
friendly, but that, although it appears
to consent to Germanys proposal, it
practically disproves by asking wheth-
er it would not be best to open peace
negotiations first and make the pun
ishment of the instigators of the out
RACES the first subject of discussion
According to the Berlin correspondent
of the Daily Express, Germany will
make new proposal, namely, that the
great powers form an international
court to try the Chinese officials ac-
cused of completely in the outrages.
The Morning Post has the following
from its Shanghai correspondent dated
yesterday:
THE Russians recently organized an
expedition toward Mukden, which has
already reached Lao Yang, about
midway between Niu Chwang and
Mukden. 1t will probably encounter
| opposition.
Prince Tuan's ascendancy creates a
| very grave danger. The only hope for
| foreigners is that the pro-fOreign vice
roy of Nankin has not yet been re-
moved. Tuan's emissaries are work
| ing hard to get him out of the way by
murder or suicide"
The British and continental press is
| still discussing Americas reply, which
| is generally regarded as encouraging
| Ii Hung Chang to delay the negotia-
| tions.
General Dribsky, military governor
| Of Amur, has published elaborate regu-
| lations, placing all the regions along
the Amur river now occupied by the
| Russians indirectly under Russian law
| and authority. The Chinese are for
bidden to return to the left bank of
the stream. He has also issued a proc
| lamation declaring the annexation OF
| Manchuria to be a punishment for the
attack made on BlagoVestchensk, and
eXhorting the inhabitants hereafter tC
respect Russia's power and to live IN
peace and quietness on their fields.
| A semi-Official COmmunique to the
| Cologne Gazette, dsavOwing any de.
sire on the part of Germany to exc.
cute the instigatOr of the outrage on
| the strength of the testimony of the
foreign ministers, says: THE inter,
national court of justice would decide
upon the question of guilt and would
pronounce sentence. TO look on COM
placently while a mockery of justice
such as the United States demand, wa,
being enacted would mean a renewa
of the massaCreS."
Commenting upon the reproache!
which the Cologne Gazette and Othe
German papers have levelled agains
the United States, the Berlin CORE
spOndent of the Times says: What
ever may be thought of the attitude o
the United States, it hardly seems wis
from a diplomatic point of view I,
hurl these taunts at a nation which, a
experience has shown, is by no mean
in the habit of pocketing or forgettinl
such attentions"
