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.

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 perhaps be withdrawn altogether from Chinese soli.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.

Russia's proposition to withdraw from Pekin ha* resolved Itself Into t problem for her which French statesmen are now isckllng very gingerly.

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.
