Loudon Sept 0 Sir 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

Washington Sept 0 Within the
last 24 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
