The situation at Tien Tsin is also improving and it is now said that Russia, England and Japan bave taken sides with the United States, holding that the restric- tions imposed upon the town are far too severe and should be relaxed. It is con- fidently expected that this view will pre- vail and that the powers will soon be able to effect a complete withdrawal from China, save for the legation guards.
