WASHINGTON. Aug. 23. The diplomatic
featuro of tho Chinese situation today
took preceilcncc over lioth the naval and
military features. Tho ofllclals of this
government were. If anything, more un
communicative than heretofore as to the
relations between tho powers and China.
It was stated nuthorltatlvcly that no
news of operations had been received and
nnd lhat tho diplomatic negotiations
could not bo made public. Tho most un
satisfactory development of tho day. so far
as the paclllc program of this govern
ment goes, was tho receipt of a dispatch
from Admiral Itemey conveying tho reports
which had reached him of a disagreement
botween tho commander of the Russian
forrcB In I'ckln and the other Interna
tionals. The text of the dispatch was not
made public, but It wus said on good nil- I
thorlty to contain tho statement that tho I
llusslan commander had forbidden com
munication with tho Chinese on tho ground
that Russia was technically as well as
prnctlcally at war with China. It may be
paid that this Information was not con
voyed by Admlrul Uemey as olllclal nows.
but merely ns a report from reliable
sources, which ho considered this govern
ment should possess for Its own Informa
tion. Itiinsln Oul nf Tiiiip.
Assuming Admiral Remey's report to be
correct, this movo on tho part of Russia
strikes tho first nolo of discord In tho
hcrctoforo harmonious concert of tho
powers. Tho possibilities of futiiro com
plications that It opens up would ho
serious to a degree. It may be said, how
ever, that tho news is not taken very
sorlously by the government nnd certainly
will not nffoct our courso lu nny way" until
It hen ben-omHiillr conllrmed It was ex
plained that tho Hltuntlnn growing out of
tho Joint occupation of I'ckln liy tho powera
wiih delicate, although not necessarily to
bo described as serious. Tho Interests of
nil the powers thcro representated woro
nt least competitive, If not nntngonlstlc
nnd an Ill-considered movo on tho part of
nny ono government might easily entail
disagreeable consequences lu which nil
would bo more or less Involved. At tho
pnmo time, it was explained, all of the gov
ernments represented in China were
anxious to avert any open clash if this
could bo done without sacrificing whnt
they considered their rights in Iho prem
ises. Attitude or Untied Stntcn.
In this situation tho United States oc
cupied tho position It had held nil through
tho disturbance, namely, of being the ono
power least under suspicion by tho others
of selfish nnd ulterior motives. This gov
ernment Is exceedingly anxious lo maintain
this vantage ground and retnln tho conll-
denco of tlio other powers, so that It Is now
moro than over cautious as to the next step
to bo taken. Tho decision to address In
ductions to tho United Slates representa
tives at tho courts of tho various powers
was reached after tho most tnnturo delib
eration. It would have been n satisfaction
lo this government If the action could liave
been taken without exciting comment of
nny sort. Owing to thq fact thnt this com
munication was not addressed directly lo tho
othor governments, nnd that It contained
merely Instructions for tho guidance of our
diplomatic, representatives abroad, It was
decided not to mako public their report or
Iho substance of the Instructions, lest tholr
premature publication should defeat tho
very object for which they wcro designed,
namely, of nscartalnlng the temper of the
various governments Interested, with n
view to determine .what form of procoduro
Is most likely to meet with general appro
bation among them nnd lead to u speedy so
lution of the problem.

In Sccretnry Adeo's note to Ll Hung Chang

Commissioner Peck was nlso secrotly but
actively hostile to Mesdumes Palmer and
Manning, especially tho Intter, though ofti

This foreshadows tho most bitter social
