Will Be I'nellilated— Hope for Har
mony Among the Powers.
Washington, Sept. I—Orders have been
cabled to Gen. Chaffee to prepare hfcs
forces for withdrawal from Pekin.
Furiher than that, the War Department
has taken steps to have at Taku a suffi
cient of Untied Slates transports
to remove these troops lo ihe Philippine*
as soon as they reach the port.
These orders are preparatory, and do
not necessarily Indicate that our govern
ment has decided Anally upon an Immedi
ate withdrawal from China. It I* simply
placing Itself In a position to carry out
Ihe pledge conveyed In the reply lo Ihe
Russian note in ihlg language:’
"The result of these considerations la
that, unices there Is such a general ex
pression by the Powers In favor of con
tinued occupation, as to modify the views
expressed by the government ot RiirS.a
and lead to a general agreement for con
tinued occupation, we shall give Instruc
tions to the American officials In China
to withdraw our troops from Pekin afer
due conference with the other command
ers as to tha time and manner of with
drawal."
Our Policy Not Changed.
Up to the present our government ha*
not changed Ita policy In thla matter of
withdrawing our troot from China a*
soon as this could be done consistently.
It Is Intimated lhat the prospect for se
curing the** objects through completely
harmonious act on by the Powers, ta
brightening every day. It Is felt that this
la a time for compromise propositions, as
between the Russian and German design*
In China, and such propositi >na now form
the substance of nearly all the diplomatic
exchange* wh.rh are In dally progress.
The continuance of quiet tn Pekin, tend
ing to reassure the Chinese officials. I*
believed to he rapidly hastening negotia
tions for a Anal settlement There Is ths
best reaavn tn believe that were the Chi
nese government once assured of th# per
sonal safety of Its members; were II re
lieved of a f. ar of the dismemberment of
China, and the menace of a large foreign
force In the capital, the Imperial court. In
cluding the Kmperor and Empress Dow
ager, would lose no time In returning to
Pekin and opening negotiations for a set
tlement. Hence the suggestion ha* been
thrown out that the allied forces In Pekin
he reduced to a number sufficient to In
sure ths Immediate safety of the lega
tions. while the remaining fores retire be
yond ths walled city, perhaps to Tien
Tsln. and If the progress of the negotia
tion* seems lo warrant It. perhaps be
withdrawn altogether from Chinese soli.
Obstacle* Rlay He Overcome.
There ore only t*o obstacles to Ihe ex
ecution of this plan. One Is the difficulty
of framing suitable guarantees for the
continuance of a satisfactory conclusion
of the negotiations for the final settle
ment. The oilier Is the uncompromising
attitude of one of the Powers. It Is now
believed that the difficulty as to guaran
tees can be satisfactorily adjusted. The
other obstacle may be overcome hy a
threatened Isolation of the' refractory
Power; for It la believed that no one
Power would care to pursue a war upan
China when the other Power* had de
llberty expressed their Judgment lhat
further hosillltles were unwarranted. Be
sides. hostilities under such conditions,
tending to Injure the Interest* of the
other*Power* In China, might be regard
ed by them aa authorizing a Joint de
mud upon the single Power for guaran
tees, which would be very difficult lo
meet.
For thla reason It Is hoped that th* Pow
ers can be brought to act tn harmony In
the matter of Ihe evacuation of Pekin and
It Is entirely possible, If thl* plan 1* exe
cuted. that all of the American troo|>*,
save a small number left to guard the le
gation at Pekin, can be withdrawn from
China before winter set* In. It will not be
necessary to delay the negotiation* until
th* evacuation I* cdmpleied.
Special Commissioner Rockhlll has left
Shanghai for Pekin. A report by cable
from him dated yesterday. Indicated that
he had begun th# discharge of his duties
as a special observer of the present Chi
nese disturbance*.

Parts, Sept France Is In a dilemma.
Russia's proposition to withdraw from
Pekin ha* resolved Itself Into t problem
for her which French statesmen are now
isckllng very gingerly.
The complete withdrawal from Hekln.
after careful consideration. Is now deem
sd not to be altogether In line with
France's Interests. France Is now forced
to choose between the course she would
rather have adopted and the policy dic
tated lo her hy the Russian alliance, und
French ptadeernft ha*beendevoted for Ihe
past week lo an endeavor to splice these
two conflicting policies into g compromise
wh'ch will not Jeopardise her friendship
with Russia, and at ihe same time will
not prejudice her own position In China.
The suggestion, therefore, that while
the bulk of the troops be withdrawn from
Pekin a small International fori* be still
retained In Ihe city, comes as a peculiar
ly a. i-eptabls Ides to France. Russia and
Germany appear to be Ihe only serious
stumbling blocks In th way of a general
acceptance of this compromise, the first
named desiring the total withdrawal of
the allied force* and Ihe latter wishing
a continued occupation.
Should ihe proposal fall through and
Russia and America withdraw all their
forces. Fran * would undoubtedly follow
suit. II would he a rude shock lo the
Husso-French for Franca m
abandon her ally and remain ln % ivkln
with, ae her associates, her hereditary
enemies. England and Oermnny.
Ml ailtn of Itasßia'a Plan.
The Frenrh government appreciates the
great element of wisdom In Ihe Musco
vite proposal, recognizing that a contin
ual*** of th* present form of occupation
would prevent early and iHrevt negotia
tions with Ih* Empress Dowager, who
fears to return tn the capital, and that,
moreover, the administration of the af
fairs of th* city would throw libmcnse
responsibility and labor upon the Rurnp
*u commander* They would need to un
dertake the proper policing of ivkln. *llh
Ita million* of Inhabitants, all of whom
are now filled with haired for the "for
eign devils,” to arrange win It ary and fire
precautions and an endlera list of oiher
municipal detail*. The provisioning of
afld keeping open communication from the
sea coash for * big force Id Pekin during
th'Winter when the country la snow
covered and froaen. also presents a prob
lem of extreme difficulty.
Another move which would Impel
France to follow Russia If the latter
withdraw* her troop*. Is the fact that th#
French force* would thereby avoid re
maining under the command of Field Mar
shal Count von M'aldera*#.
Lack of leewrit In t'ktna.
An eye opener as to the lack of accord
between Ihe varlcus military command
er# In China I* furnished by the report of
fapt. Marollea. who commanded the
French contingent up to the time of the
captureqOf Tien Tain. Copt. Marollea re
late* each days even** In th# form of a
diary. In which appear statements which
a Pari* paper describe* as tantamount to
a masked Indictment of the Russian Gen
eral Hlessel who. with the obstinacy of a
soldier executing an order. It ray*, wish
ed to win or even to be beaten alone
The result of hi* ambition w*a the loss of
hundreds of live*.
Marolles, under date of June 27. writes:
"Russians attacked the east arsenal at
Tien Tsln without notifying any one;
but eventually the Qerman and then Un-
English contingent hnd to co-operate,
which was not agreeable to them. It I*
apparent that there ta no accord between
the military chiefs.”
Two days Jatsr Marolles writes:
"The Russian* made a reconnolssance
on Ihe left hank without notifying any
one. when a fusllade began and the town
suffered an hour's bombardment."
After recounting other Instances of the
Isolated aetkm of Gen. Hlessel, he says,
on July 8 Gen. Stews*! advised him that
he would withdraw the next day, <hc out
post at the railroad depot, which was In
dlspenslble to the French concession.
The next entry ta doted July 4, and
reads:
"The Russians evacuaiad Ihe railroad
depot at 7:10 this morning. As the post
Is aimolulrly indite>cne:ib.* to protect the
French concession, whom evacuation
would compel the evacuation of the Eng
lish concession, a force of Jaraineae,

Marolles' report thus shows lhat there
was no accord, even between the French
and Russian*.

"Money, tariff, trusi* and no-called Im

when peace reign* In Ihe Philippines Con
gress would legislate most generously and
la-neflcently for the Filipino*. ■
Recent events had demos I rated the ad

enabled tn do a conspicuous service for
all the Civilised Powers. We could not re

strength of a giant and the opportunity of
the centuries.
Senator Depevr’s Prediction.
Senator Depew predicted an old-fash
toned Republican majority In New York
stale. The signs were propitious, for ta
no election since the Civil war had the
Democrats ever succeided when Vermont
gave 30,000 majority. He next mailed tha
second campaign for the election ot Pres
ident Lincoln, raying;
'The Bout horn Confederacy wan ex
hausted, Its credit In Europe was Im
paired. It* supplies were rapidly falling.
The* Democratic convention which me! tn
Phlrago declared the war a failure and
proposed, If eucceaaful. to recognlg* tha

Thirty-six years, he wild, hove pawed

the Tog*l revolt hud been suppressed, and
that "had the Democratic Convention tt

A contlnuartce of our prosperity rested
upon a coiMtnustlM 'of oenfldsaM, and
aoyttrtng that would shake thnl would

to Inject ,i whole lot of collateral Issues
lo dhetrat't Ihe attention of he people from
the fact that every promise made hy UMi
lh-|.ooilcan party had been fulftded. and
that they were now reaping the benefit of
these promises. He then told this story:
"A country boy was driving home Ida
