Alfred Gnso Jees dispatch which shows that the eituatlon in Peking was unchanged on Aug 29 is the only Chinese news this morning The cancellation of the or der holding bud the Fourth Indian brigade is regarded as important It shows that whatever the outcome of the Russian policy the British gov ernment is determined to have sutll cient troops on the spot adequately to protect Urltlsh interests Considerable signlticance Is at tached to the statement by the Journal do St Petersburg as possibly indicat ing a modification of the Russian pol icy This paper is the organ of the Russian foreign ollice its editor being n councillor of state It is noted that while the Journal de St Petersburg announces Kussian determination to maintain the solidarity of the powers It only mentions the withdrawal of the ministeis and not of the troops to Tien Tsin It is believed that the pow ers might agree to such a modilication of the original proposal The Vienna correspondent of the Times

hours the United States gov ernment has received from its repre sentatives In foreign capitals much material Information regarding the at titude of the powers on the Russian proposal to evacuate Peking These give the general nature of the re sponses made to Russia by certain of the powers It Is stated authoritative ly that If there was at any time a prospect of a serious international clash this has been very largely If not entirely removed by the harmonious character of the communications the several governments are making The exact nature of the responses Is not made public by the state dcpaitment for there are some replies to be trans mitted and until all of them are In the negotiations are considered in such an Incomplete form that they will not be made public It Is said however that the answers go much beyond the ten tative character of those heretofore io fencd to and are of a conclusive na ture so far as showing the purposes of the government although they may not be regarded as conclusive In ac cepting or rejecting the particular proposition advanced by Russia The responses are understood to be rather long and somewhat argumentative similar in this respect to the Ameri can response This very fact is a cause for congratulation among olll ciuls as they point out that there Is no disposition to treat the proposal with terseness or in any other manner to give offense but rather to bring the powerH together on a common basis On the whole the geneial tendency of the responses Is euch as to give entire satisfaction here as to the course of the negotiations If there Is any change In the mili tary situation since General Chaffees dispatch supposed to be of the 10th tilt no word of It has reached Wash ington It Is understood that the dis turbances and outrages upon mission aries continue in some of the districts outside of Peking It Is believed here possibly because of these reports that the foreign minister In Peking pi nim bly will enter an earnest objection to any withdrawal of troops If their re spective governments delay action upon the Russian proposition until they have had a chance to express their Tlerii u Ity hnnnuuip under thei
