EVACUA1E TEN TSlN.
Secretary Hay Secures Withdrawal
of Foreign Forces.

Washington, July II. - Secretary
Hays prompt action upon the appeal OF
the Chinese government, through Yuan
Sui kai and Minister WI, relative to
the evacuation of Tien Tsin, has met
with success. The foreign ministers
who have stood in the way of eNacua-
ton will receive instructions from their
home governments, and although one
or two minor points remain to be adj
iusted, it is believed that Tien Tsin
will soon be turned over to the Chinese
authorities.
Secretary Hay, doubling whether
anything could be accomplished direct
~ through the diplomats at Picking,
though action there had been contem-
plated, decided to address himself
directly TO the governments interested
in the Chinese question. and maintain
ing forces in Tien Tsin.
This was done through the American
ambassadors and ministers resident at
the various European courts and Tokyo.
Answers have been received from near
ly all of these. The latest to come to
hand were from France and Germany,
and quite unexpectedly they have all
proved to be favorable to the United
States contention. The powers are
now agreed to instruct their generals
at Tien Tsin to abandon the condition
sought to be imposed as precedent to
evacuation that, save the small police
force of 800 men, the Chinese military
forces must be kept at a distance or not
less than so kilometers from Tien
Tsjr.

COLOMBIAN TREATY.
State Department Will Press For
ward Negotiations for Its
Speedy Completion.

Washington, July 9.-The state de-
partment has decided to press forward
toward completion the Colombian
treaty looking to the acquisition of
right of way of the isthmian canal.
This is slight change in the original
program, which contemplates the COM
plete adjustment Of the question of title
before the treaty. So Secretary Hay,
who already has accepted ::the best por-
ton of the work done in treaty making,
and has it before him in the shape of a
protocol promised to the last session OF
congress, has taken steps to give this
the form OF treaty, and to have it
signed formally by accredited represent
atives OF the government of Colombia
and the United States, SO that the con.
vention may be laid before the senate
as soon as 1t convenes in December.
BY adopting this course the state de-
partment will remove, it is expected.
any chance Of having the agreement
reached with Colombia disturbed by
anything that may occur as a result OF
political change. For it is the pur.
pose to hold that such agreements.
once duly entered upon, are not subject
to Reputation, even in the event of
change OF government. The protocol re-
tered to was so definitely drawn that
not many changes are required in order
to adapt the instrument for use as a
treaty.
No difficulty is expected to result in
securing an abatement of the old pro-
VISION in the canal franchise requiring
the use OF French material only in the
construction of the canal, and the state
department has already received assur.
ance from the French government which
1t regards as meeting the objection that
has been made on that score.
