: PARIS, Sept. 2. The Chinese situa- $
ijj.tion as viewed in Paris has assumed a J:
j- brighter aspect. The practical unanim-
ity of the United States, Russia, France J
5 and Japanin a desire to maintain the
j integrity ot the empire, is regaraea as j
disposing of any question of partition. $t
J England's position lis undoubtedly as $
4 strongly favorable to the foregoing
j? policy ae that of any power mentioned, i
$ but it is more pleasing to France that $
J bonds of Accord should be shown be- J
j tween the United States, France and i
Russia, and that" these nations should ?
appear to be the controlling influence i
fm toward peace. France is ready to treat 5
with any plenipotentiary able to furnish ?
f proper credentials. ' f

Chinese question 1st now Pilep.Midar
upon the response of the Powers lo i!k
Russo-Anierican proposal. It was
stated authoratively. at the dose of the
oiliclal-hours today that no answers
had lieeii received from any source,
oilier than those, of a preliminary and
liicom-bisive chanfc ter. heretofore an
nouued. .Moreover, it is stated, by ie
sponsible 'Administration- officials, .that
not until the last answer Is received
will the negotiations assume, any defi
nite form, as the last answer may
prove to he a dissent from , the Inor
natioii.il accord, toward which all ef
forts are now lielng made: Ry far the
most important ucstlou the Russian
projiosal makes Is in disclosing that
Russia has not . ordered- her Minister
and troops f 0 withdraw "from China."
as was stated In the American para
phrase of the proposal, but that she
and
t her
.his
will
intends to recall Do t'iers
KtatT "to Tien Tsin. whither
he accompanied by Russian troops.?
!u shut. Russia Jias not announced her
purpose to withdraw from China, hut
only to withdraw from Pekin..
As the. negotiations progress, the
view is strengthened among the offi
cials that the Russo-Ameriean plan of
witlidrawing from China ultimately.
. will lei-oncurred in by all Powers, in
looked upon as practically assured.
It is pointed out that, if the Rus
sian. American and Japanese troops
.ire withdrawn from Pekin. the other
powers would not have rsmo men re
maning there. As a matter of neces
sity therefore, it is held that the
'withdrawal of the large forces will
cjoaipel the smaller forces of Croat
Britain and (Jet many to leave at the
same time.

Eerlin. Sept. 1. The Oeriuan press
is fnll of articles -oininentuig on the

it is generally construed as marking
the leginniug of a serious lack of har

Chinese interests are colliding at too
many points to enable them to main
tain n united'front lengthily. Russia's
sudden change of aljitude came here
as a complete surprise.
