WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
From Pekin-Tien Tsin Road Advocat-
ed by Emperor William.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The state de-
partment has been informed that at
the instance of Emperor William.
steps have been taken to secure the
withdrawal of the troops of the allied
powers associated in the suppression
of the Boxer uprising. which were as
signed to the protection of the road
from Pckin to Glen Tsin. One of the
articles of the treaty which terminated
the Boxer uprising conferred upon the
powers the right to police this road,
the purpose being to insure Il safe line
of retreat from Pckin for the diplomats
and other foreigners in that capital and
thereby avoid Il recurrence of the siege
of the legations in 1900.
Not ali of the powers awaited of the
permission and America refraincd from
stationing troops on the road. A small
guard OF soldiers. however, was sta
toned N the American legation in Pc
kin. and this force has only recently
been relieved by a detachment of about
40 marines. 1t is understood here that
there is no intention of doing away
with these guards and the Emperor's
proposition applies solely to the troops
stationed on the Tien Tsin-Pekin road.

Continental free trade could be brought
about only by anneNati ton. which every
body in the United States favors and
everybody i'm Canada opposes, or by
the adoption by Canada of a tariff uni
form with our against all foreign ma
tions, to which l think we should have
