General Regret Over Withdrawal
OF American Troops.
PRINCE CHING INTERVIEWED
Wants UuIted States TO Take lnlatlve Ia Re-.

Capitol.

YOKOHAMA, May Il, via Victoria,
b. c., June 5.-Business conditions here
show no Improvement though the PAN
icky feeling has passed away in great
measure. In Yokohama there is a nota-
Bile decrease in the aumber Of foreign
residents and real estate and rents are
az low ebb.
Affairs in China seem to show in a
remarkable way the solid influence
which America is there acquiring, large
ly attributable to the favorable impress
sion made by General Chaffee and the
troops under his command Something
like CONSERVATION prevails at the pres
ent prospect Of the withdrawal Of these

alties having alone been competent 70
Keep order and gain the confidence of
the natives.
One of he papers here publishes the
following from an interview with Prince
Ching:
Il think the United States will do q
wise thing IL ii restores to China the
district now allotted to it. simultaneous
u with the withdrawal Of its troops
II 1t takes The initiative in this mat
ter the other powers viii follow the ex-
ample set by II and the City OF Pekin
viii then be placed in the control OF
the Chinese government. Such a step.
I think, is an urgent necessity for the
restoration Of order in Pekln. judge
that the imperial court viii not be able
to return to Pekin before the coming
fall AS for the existing relations be-
tween the emperor and empress dows-
ger, / may say that even should the de
facto right of governing the country be
restored to his maiesty's hands. Il is
not likelv that he will be able to make
use OF it in carrying out all the schemes !
Of reform he may be chershing at
heart"
Every one here scouts at the Idea |
that the Chinese government will ever
return 10 Pekin. not being impossible |
to conceive of its doing so and at the
same time preserving an atom of self
respect. 1t is possible thar It will make
a show of return TO satisfy the pres
ent demand Of the allies. but Il will b.
prerense and there is nothing in the ne
Potiations to prevent immediate subse-
quent change of capitol, making all the
present military precautions and prep
arations abortive. The universal i'm
preston is that in This matter the allies
have not only overreach ched themselves
but have played directly into the hands
OF Russia.
