Cause of German Delay.

WASHINGTON, March Lit is true, as
reported from Picking. that the influence
of the American government has been ex-
erted to secure the early withdrawal Of
foreign troops from Tien-Tsin. Having
withdrawn our own troops, our government
can do nothing further in that direction
than to use moral suasion with the other
powers. 1t is said here that this has been
effective to the extent that every one of
the powers has assented to the proposition
TO withdraw the troops, even Germany,
which is now represented as hating. While
there have been no very recent exchanges
on the subject, a few weeks ago the Ger
man government was sounded and readily
responded that it intended To withdraw its
troops as soon as it had secured what 1t
regarded as necessary guarantees and had
satisfied itself that disorders would not
follow to the jeopardy of foreigners in
Tien-Tsin. 1t IS understood here, there
fore, that the question is simply one OF
judgment as TO the time OF withdrawal.
The United States. with most of the other
powers, believes that the time is now; the
German government is delaying for the
reasons specified.

Lafayette Grur. aged q years, of Glouces-

wife. Mary Ann Gruff. aged 10 years, kill

young woman was temporarily residing.
The tragedy was enacted at Westmont,
about four miles south Of this city, where
Mrs Gowie resides. Mrs. Gowie was
brought to the Cooper hospital here and
her condition Is critical. Gruff was arrest

Mrs. Gruff left her husband because OF

baby sought shelter in the home of Mrs
Gowie. Her husband visited her Tuesday
night and abducted the daughter. bur Mrs
Gruff on the following day recovered heI

ciVlnzed warfare be insured in South At

not put before the authorities any request

the carrying out of the rules of civilized
warfare, but we will leave that wholly to

We are confident that we will be able to

General Methuen will be given decent care

him a few days ago. Yet what did they do
with General Scheepers ana a number of
others? They killed SCheepers without a
chance. That story from England points
its own moral and an important one. too.
President Kruger is not seeking interven-

just issued commands General Ma to pro-
coed to Jehol. about 100 miles northeast of
Picking, and personally supervise the pun
ishment Of the bandits who recently muir
dered a Belgian priest. Russian troops
were sent across the border to avenge the
murder on the theory hat the Chinese
were unable to repress the operations of
the bandits, which menaced Russian inter-
ests. and the government is anxious to re-
move all excuse for the presence Of the
Russian troops In that part of China. The
Russians are in the district east of Jehol;
but the Chinese governments statement
that they are in Jehol was probably made
for the purpose of influencing other gov
ernments TO take notice Of the invasion of
Chinese territory. The court has sent a
