1t is reported from Shanghai that the
Russians have seized valuable railway
property at Tien Tsin in defiance Of
the protests Of the British commander.
DR.. Morrison, the Pekin correspondent
of the Times. in the course of long
dispatch dated Sept. 5, continues to
protest against the evacuation of the
capital; but he agrees with the Pekin
Of the Morning Post that
the withdrawal Of the Russian troops.
owing to their barbarous habits would
be an unmiXed benefit.
He asserts that further convincing
proofs have been obtained of the inten-
ton of the Empress Dowager to massa-
ere all the foreigners. Prince Ching, he
says. fails to realize the real situation,
evidently being convinced that all the
powers can be squared by the payment
Of a money indemnity.

Claims Of All the Powers viii Reach an
Enormous Sum.

Paris. Sept. 16-The unsatisfactory
condition Of the cipher messages which
reach the powers from their represen-
tatives III China, especially at Pekin.
has brought forward prominently the
suggestion Of an international confer

y point which gives additional weight
to the plan is appreciation of the diff

among the ministers at Pekin, many Of
whom have been antagonistic in their
policies during their stay there during
the last few years
one point strongly urged on the part
Of France in the peace negotiations is
the permanent continuance Of the inter
national agreement now in force pro-
hihiting the expectation Of arms to
China. This IL believed to be a strong
measure Of precaution against a re-
currence Of the determined assault on
foreigners.
The question of indemnity and how it
will be paid is a serious promlem. The
indemnities are divided into three
classes-thCse payable to the states. to
the societies and to individuals The
amount which the various states Will
demand will reach an enormous sum,

Ching. The generals Of the powers al
so think they cannot treat with the
prince.
The Russian legation, it Il under

that the future Of China must be de-
cided by an international commission
in some foreign capital.

Chinese imperial maratime customs,

they must be prepared for future hos
