ARMY TO QUIT PEKIN.
UNITED STATES WILL REDUCE
ITS FORCE.
This Government Rejects Propositions
of Germany, and IL Unwilling to De-
fer Peace Negotiations Until Person.

The United States made a new move
Friday in the game of diplomacy now
being played in China, and that night
President Mckinley left Washington for
Canton, having disposed of the proposals
made by Germany, Russia, and China.
Russia proposed the withdrawal OK
troops from Pekin This has been dis
posed of by instructing Gen. Chafee to
withdraw from China. leaving legation
guard, to consist of one regiment of IN
fantry, one squadron of cavalry, and
battery Of artillery. China urged that
peace negotiations begin at once. With
out agreeing to an independent course,
the President has instructed Minister
Conger to arrange the preliminaries to-
peace conference. He has siSo recog-
nized Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
as peace commissioners on the part OF
China. Germany suggested the advisa-
bility OF demanding the surrender OF
guilty Chinese leaders before the begin
ming Of peace negotiations. On the gem
eral proposition that those responsible
for outrages on foreigners should be pun
ished, this government is in thorough ac-
cord with Germany, but that this should
be done before opening peace negotia-
lions does not meet with approval.
Gen. Chaffee was instructed TO retire
from Pekin with all his troops, except
one regiment OF infantry, one squadron
of cavalry, and battery of artillery.
1t was determined that this force should
be quartered in the legation compound
and perform the duties of a legation
guard during Minister Conger's stay in
Pekin. He will be accompanied by this
guard should he so to any other point to
continue negotiations. The legation
guard will consist of about 800 troops.
Battery + of the Fifth Artillery is the
only American battery in China, and this
win form a part of the guard. The or
der to Admiral Remey directed him to
prepare to withdraw the marines from
the shore TO their respective vessels.
They will then be transferred TO Cavite
in the Philippines.
This reduction of the military force in
China leaves on foreign soil but littls
less than half of Gen. Chaffee's original
expedition of 5000 men. The withdraw
al is to be made as rapidly as conditions
in China will permit, the troops retiring
to Tien-Tsin gradually and from there
to Taku, where they will embark IN the
transports Indiana and Sumner, Which
have been held in readiness for such ser
vice. The supply ships now at Taku WI
take the bulk of their cargo to Manila,
leaving in China a supply sufficient to
meet the requirements of the legation
guard for the winter.

Resolve to Contest viii.

A number of the heirs of the late Thos.
Driver in the County Court at Racine
filed objections to the accounting made
by the executors for the reason that
notes amounting to nearly $1,000 were
not in the inventory. The notes had
been given to the decedent by his two
sons, John and Sinclair, who were named
by their father as executors of the will.
The executors offered TO allow the other
heirs to examine the books and also ex
plain what had become of the notes. A
majority of the heirs have retained attor-
neys and will endeavor TO have the widow
receive her one-third and the remainder
divided equally among the other heirs.
