The German and French answers, however, clearly indicate the alignment of the powers. It is generally accepted that Germany's attitude in favor of remaining at Pekin will be concurred by Italy and Austria these coun tries act with Germany on political ques tions of a general nature. Moreover, defi nite word has been recelved here clearly foreshadows Austria’s position in favor of remaining at Pekin. As to the purposes of Britain there is an abso lute lack of official information. thou little doubt s entertained that since Ger- many has taken the initiative Great Britain will follow suit in favor of remain- ing at Pekin. The position of Japan like wise 1s lacking in definiteness, although it 15 belleved in the best posted quarters that i other natlons remain at Pekin Japan will deem It expedient to remain the wlso. No New are as two which oposition from Russia. It would seem from this that France is the only government to give concurrence to the Russian proposition, although the United States has expressed a purpose of following Russia’s course, unless the other powers brought about a modification of Rus- sia’s position. Thus far Russia has not ex- pressed any purpose of modifying her orig- inal position. 1t was stated authoritatively today that Russia not ordered the ¢ parture of her minister or t from ¥ kin up to this time, so f the govern ment is advised. It is stated that no new propositions have been presented. but that the question is practically the same as when first presented—namely, as to whether the troops will remain or be withdrawn from Pekin.
