FAMOUS SUMMER RESORT, RECENTLY CAPTURED ALL BURFAU, WELLINGTON EL, WASHINGTON, Oct. illumination of Ru tude the authorities see a promise of a satisfactory solu- e problem. M. de Wol- rge d’Affalres here, said there cowld be no doubt of t spect to Chir Russia made formal declars to the powers,” he cont 29 her diplomatic rej senta- tives, In accordance with instructions re- ceived from St. Petersburg, repeated that she had no territorial designs on China; that her purpose was to act with the other powers in establishing the safety of the foreign legations in Peking, and aid the Chinese Governmernt in suppress'ng disorder. Her occupation of Manchuria was solely for defersive purposes, and as soon as the restoration of order is accom- plished troops will be withdrawn. There is no necessity for continued military oc- cupation of Peking, and Russia in her declaration of policy announced her inten- tion to withdraw her forces, which she has done. It is my opinion that peace can be more promptly restored and the entire question more expeditiously settled if Pe- king is evacuated. With the United States, Russia and France opposed to dismemberment it is unlikely that any other power will at- tempt to seize territory. An official who is deeply interested in seeing the territorial entity of the empire ns of her preserved made this statement: ‘“‘There | are two nations whose licy in China must be sharply watched. One is Ger- many, the other is Russla. The former will ‘attempt to take territary by brute force, the other will oppose such a policy. It will also object to the entrance of Ger- many into Northern China, and it will use its best efforts to make a peaceful solu- tion possible. And when peace has been restored Russia will say to China: ‘We would like this bit of territory in the north. You have a great deal. We showed our friendship for you when you were in trouble. We withdrew our troops and made every effort to restore peace. Now why not give us this when we ask so lit- e 'And China,” concluded this gentleman, “will say yes: This was the policy pur- sued subsequent to the Japanese war, and it secured Port Arthur and Talien Wan and gave Russia control of Manchuria,” This expression of opinion shows that Russia’'s motives are still suspected by some. The powers that are not in aceord h the principles which have guided the 's Government In negotiations regard- ing China have not been inactive, and they have evidently succeeded in creating the belief in some quarters that Russia has ulterfor designs at variance with her pro- fessiors. It can be stated, however, that Russia's from the beginning of the trouble en in harmony with her professions and there is no reason to suspect that they will e otherwise. It is apparent to diplomats here that Russia will not attempt to force Japan into war. The relations of those two gov- ernments seem to be improving and are likely to continue to do so, as Japan un- derstands Russia’s purpose to.deal with the Chinese question In an open and stralghtforward manner. CHINESE EMPEROR'S MESSAGE. Thanks President for Taking the Ini- tiative in Withdrawing Troops.

Minister Conger was instructed on this point to insist that the trade rights guaranteed to the Uniied States by exist- ing treatles be respected not only by China but in the treaties made with other powers, This Government purposes to obtain for its citizens the same commerclal advan- tages extended to others acd in this way it will preserve the policy of the open door. No objection is made to the fourth pro- posal that the Tsung 1l Yamen be permit- ted to resume its functions and the United ates has already withdrawn its troops s requested by the Chinese envoys, Tlle ‘laller conclude with a request that mili- | tary action shall cease during the nego- | tiations and this s in line with the desire of this Government. Minister Conger was instructed to insist | upon the punishment of those responsible for the outrages. The view of the United States on this point Is best expressed by quoting the President’s answer to the let- | ter of the Chinese Emperor thanking him | for his action in behalf of peace and urg- ing him to continue to use his good offices. The President closed: ‘“The desire of this Government that such settiement may be brought about speedily has been made known to all the powers and I trust that negotiations may begin as soon as we-| and other offended governments shall be effectually satisfied of your Majesty's ability and power to treat with just stern- ness the principal offenders, who are doubiy culpable not alone toward foreign- ers but toward your Majesty.” - PAOTING-FU EXPEDITION.
