WASHINGTON Sept. 1. The entire
course of negotiations in the Chinese sltua
tlon Is now dependent on the responses
to tho Russo-Amcrlcnn protests. It was
state nuthorltntlvely at the close of
ofilrlnl hours today thnt no answers hail
been received from any source other than
thoso of u preliminary and Incontluslvo
character heretofore announced. More
over It In stated hy responsible adminis
tration olllclals that not until the Inst
answer Is recotved will the negotiations
assume any definite form, ns the Inst
linswer may prove to he the dissent from
r.n International accord toward which all
efforts aro now bending.
Much Interest was aroused today by the
dlBpnteh from St. Petersburg giving the
full text of the Russian pro1of.al ns It
cleared up some discrepancies, which had
existed owing to the oral nature of the
communication ma do to this government
by tho Russian chnrge. Hy far the most
Important cnrrecllon It makes Is In dis
closing that Russia has not ordered her
troops nnd minister to withdraw "from
China" as whs stated In the American
paruphrase of the proposal, but that sho
Intends to recall M. Do tilers and his
staff "to Tien Tsln, whither they will be
accompanied by tho Russian troops." In
short Itussla has not announced a purposo
to withdraw from China, hut only to with
draw from I'cliln.
P.mcr.. rr l.lhcly to Coni'iir.
Ab the negotiations progress tho view
Is strengthened among olllclals that the
Amortcan-Husslan plan of withdrawing
from IVkln will be concurred In by all the
powers. In diplomatic quarters this out
come Is looked upon as practically ns
nured. It Is pointed out that If tho Rus
sian, American nnd Japanese troops aro
withdrawn from Pckln tho other powers
would not havo r.,000 men remaining thore,
which would bo a forco utterly Inad
equate to garrison and defend tho cupltal.
The British force now at Pekln Is said to
number 3,600 men and tho German forco
is ouly n few hundred,
On tho other Usnd , the Russian nnd
Japanese contingent oro very largo, and
with their withdrawal thu main sticugth of
tho allies at Pckln would bo taken awny.
As a mnttcr of necessity, therefore, It Is
held that tho withdrawal of tho larger forces
will compel tho smaller forces of Great
Britain and Germany to leave at the same
time.
Thn reply thnt Germany has made to this
government has been to thn effect that any
general action would bo dependent on tho
Inquiries Into the- conditions at I'ckln. These
Inquiries are In progress through the Ger
man ofllcers at tho Chinese capital and their
responses aro expected to form tho basis of
Germany's general answer. Thoso In posi
tions to tako an Intelligent view of Ger
many's rourso say thoro Is little doubt of
Germany's acceptance. Ono of tho chief
reasons Bet forth for this course Is that
after all tho question of staying In I'ckln Is
of secondary Importance and Is cjulto Insig
nificant compared with tho far-reaching
question of maintaining an accord among
thoso continental nations, wbtch thus far
have acted together, not only as to China,
but us to many other questions of gcuernl
policy. In short It Is felt that Germany's
accord with Russia mid other continental
nations Is of primary Importance, whereas
tho holding of I'eklu Is of secondary char
acter and In such circumstances tho pri
mary consideration will prevail.
Tho courso of tho British government Is
being awnltcd with keen Interest, not only
for Its effect on the question, but because
of thn part It will have In maintaining tho
accord between tho powers. There Is n
noticeable feeling among some of tho for
eign representatives hero that Great Urltaln
will decline to accept tho plan nnd will
thereby boetmio Isolated from the rest of
tho powers. In this connection tho present
situation Is being compared to that at tho
eloen of thn Japan-China war, when Rus
sia, Germany and France formed a triple
nlllanrn which practically determined tho
results of tho conlilct. Tho Issue at that
time was as to Japan's holding Chinese, ter
ritory, particularly tho Llao Tung peninsula.
Great Britain declined to Intervene, and to
n certain extent became Isolated, while
Russia, Germany nnd France, by their
action, made It Imperative that the peaco
settlement should bo tho basis of Japan's
eventual withdrawal from tho mainland of
Asia.

HOW ROME GOT SHIRT WAISTS
Count of Turin (lit en Credit for
ItitrmliieiiiK the I'm! to III

(Copyright, 1!K). by Press Publishing Co. i
ROMU, Italy, Sept. 1. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The strug
gle of the-shirtwaist man In Italy has been
ttaglc. Tho Impossibility of defeating his
purposo Ib illustrated to good ndvnntnge by
tho manner that he has nourished In spite
of environments. Tho popular count o:
Turin, first coiift of tho king, was the
first to Introduce the fnd. Since his visit to
America two years ago he has followed
closely the American fashions. When he
learned of tho popularity of the shirtwaist
he Immediately designed an Italian edition.
Tho count of Turin Is Rome's Beau Brum
mcl. He establishes tho fads. Should he
walk In the Plnclo with his coat buttuned
wrongly, the next day every fashionable
young man In Rome would appear with his
coat lu like manner. Tho count Is an artist
and with his crayons he sketched sev
eral designs slmllur to the shirtwaist that
has been struggling for recognition In
America, and sent them to a manufacturer
In Bradford, Ungland. lie accompanied them
with patterns In Madras linens Dozens of
the shirtwaists were manufactured for him.
They arrived In Italy and then began tho
tragical part of their battle for recogni
tion. Clrcumstanrcs conspired against thnm.
Tho minder of the king made It Impossible
for the count of Turin to wear the pretty
colors and gaudy designs. But he Is a man
of resources. He put them carefully away
nnd designed new waists to bo mil do up In
soft white silk, with blnck stripes running
through them. These were made in n hurry,
but with excellent taste, nnd on a proun
and happy morning the gallant count ap
peared, taking his early morning walk In
tho Qulrlnal pnlace along the Plu Slstlnn,
where so many American visitors have their
residences, to the Plnclo, the famous public
gardens of Rome. It is needless to say that
no oung Roman considers himself complete
now unles he wenrs a shirtwaist.
A striking Innovation which the count In
troduced Is thn buttons of the waist. In
one rnsn the buttons nre gold coin of the
realm, 10-llro pieces. They nre the size
of the American 2.r.O gold ploces. On an
other waist the buttons nro of black Jet.
each as large ua a franc piece, nnd ar
ranged In a doublo row, llko the buttons of
an Italian ofllcer's tunic. Tho rows aro
far apart nt tho top and tapering Inward at
tho bottom.
This young prince Is only two removes
from thn Italian throne, his elder brother,
tho duko of Aostn, being the heir appar
ent, and that prlnco's infant eon tho heir
presumptive. Slnco the count of Turin three
years ago challenged Prince Henri of Or
leans to mortal combat for Insulting the
Italian nrmy and wounded him near Paris,
ho has been by far the most popular mem
ber of the royal family.

manuscript of his now work, "The Slav
cry of Our Times." This Is an Inquiry
Into tho results of modern Industrialism
nnd has engaged Tolstoi's nttentlon for
some months. Tolstoi says In his Intro
duction that tho hook Is a further and
fuller expression of tho thoughts nnd feel
ings he expressed ten years ago In his
book, "What Must Wo Do Then?" Ills
conclusions nro tho same, but thero nro
new considerations leading to them. Tho
fundamental Idcn of both books la tho
negation of coercion. Tolstoi says: "This
negation 1 learned nnd understood from

dearly In the words, 'Ye hnvo heard It said
an eye for nn eye' -I. c., you were taught
to uso coercion against coercion, but my
teaching us to olfer your other cheek to

LONDON, Sept. L As soon as British
public opinion Is able to shako off tho Rus
sian nightmare, which Invariably Intrudes
on tho far eastern question and occupies
International attention, it will lu all prob
ability, according to the views of tho best
Informed, heartily acknowledge the wis

wonders which will ultimately give way to
Hio other. But despite tho attempt of the
Jingoes to becloud the real meaning of
tho new understanding It Is believed In
authorltutlvo quarters that tho reasons ac
tuating the United States wilt ultimately
recommend themselves to the public us
apparently they have recommended them
selves to governmental circles.
Great Britain would doubtless have pre
ferred to havo assisted in carrying out the
original American proposals, but as tho
Washington government Is prepared to
modify these In deference to Russian vlewt.
thero la every indication that thn British
cabinet -will accept whatever promises the
quickest end to tho controversy. Tho
main trouble Is that the whole of Kuropo
Is in u mood of mutual suspicion only too
well c.ilculate'dl to proraotu International
complications, Jfaoprucuted by the wholo
world.
Ktpcot llelilxlltlon of Tension.
But diplomatic circles In London aro of
tho opinion that signs nre discernible that
tho tension will soon be relaxed and that
thn Jealousies will bo bo allayed that tho
powers will be enabled, In conjunction with
tho viceroys and reformers of tho south
ern provinces, to devise a schnuio for re
constituting tho government of Chlnn In
conformity with tho desires of tho people
and authorities of China. Thoy omphaslze
tho necessity of taking the advice of tho
grnt Yang Tun viceroys, whoso attitude
during the present crisis hn shown thero
aro men In China who cn govern when free
of tho Mnnchu cllquo und who. 11 Is
thought, would gladly aid the powers lu
tho ro-cstabllshmunt of the government,
perhaps by deposing tho dowager empress
and, reinstating tho emperor. Of course It
Is realized that many ugly snags nro likely
to disturb tho smoothness of tho current,
but tho opinion In tho best Informod cir
cles appears to bo that tho latest de
velopments have materially helped clear
tho course.
"Tho Washington government," said Mr.
Bookwalter of Ohio, "Is taking exactly the
right stand, though certain circles In-Kng-Innrt
will exert overy effort to dlsenunten
anco the Russo-Amrrlcnn rapprochement.
Fifty dollars of Chinese trade Ik worth
more to tho United States than titty
squnro miles of territory, and If the
rutted States continues friendly with Rus
sia sho can obtain u shnroj of commerce
which might easily be thrown to Germany.
I believe that when Knglnnd comes to
understand that tho czar means to pro
tect tho autonomy of tho central Chinese
kingdom aho will also see her way to Join
with Russia, for England must remember
thnt tho Trans-Caspian railroad puts a
Cossack army at tho doors of India ns
well ns at VlHdlvostock."
Nllllnhury Keep Cool.
In the midst of all tho turmoil, not heed
ing tho hysterical inflictions of thn nrm
ehnlr guides of Great Britain, tho responsi
ble head of affairs, Lord Salisbury, rests
calm, confident and wary In tho German
mountain village of Schlucht, a health re
port In tho Vosges, ten miles from tho near
est railroad station, but ut tho end of a
wire to Downing Btreet. It Is explained that
one of Ixird Salisbury's reasons for golug
Into perfect solitude was to bo oblo to work
during this trying period without Interrup
tions from cabluet ministers nnd others.
Lord Salisbury's long interview with tho
Fronch minister of tho colonies, M. Decrals,
and the announcement that tho French min
ister of foreign affairs, M. Dclcasso, will
shortly visit the British premier, Is taken
hero to mean that tho latter Is improving
tho relations with Franco which, Judging
from the newspapers, certainly need Im
provement, for dark rumors of possible war
between France and Great Britain aro per

relations on tho subject of
China, although It wns known hero thnt

Vincent, ex-dlrector of criminal Investiga
tions nt Scotland Yard, was a repicscntntlve
of I ho United Kingdom at tho confeience
held at Rome two years ago, to consider the
question of social defence against anarchical
ctlmes. Asked what steps should be taken
to deal with thn situation arising cut of tho
killing of King Humbert, he replied "What
we have to do Is to organize completo hnr
mnny of action between the police forces In
overy clvlll7ed country. Thn way In which
foreign countries dump their objectlonablo
characters down upon our ronsls Is most un
fair. They are sending them every day. My
own view, however. Is that the powers might
to arrive at nn International agreement not
to have resort to the practice of expulsion,
and In any case not without formal notice
to thn country of deportation.
"Let each nation look after Its own crim
inals and Bcml-crlmlnals. The trouble is
thnt ns long ns we keep our door open for
eign governments have no motive for aban
doning this unfair pracllre. It Is very con
venient to them nnd they are probably not
greatly distressed at tho Inconvenience to

made on Wednesday, that the government
