Sept. lo.-The de--vclopmout of tin day in (he Chinese situation r ill point to tlie speedy, with drawal of tin 1' lifted States trooiw from China.

No eon lirmat ton is at hand here of rhe report that Great Britain and Ger ntany have joined in an agreement to leniain together hi IVkin regardless of tin altitude of the other lowera. Should this Ik trite, the faet doubtless , would hasten the rearward movement of the Amerjeau troops.: for there is a firm determination to arvohl lccouiiug Involved in any Hash tietwccii tlie powers such as might reasonably In iiXected to follow 1 ho execution of ibis reported British German program. The part. of tlie problem relative to -the withdrawal that remains unsolved is the N'st means of securing guaran tees for the attainment of the few bjet ts s-t out in Secretary Hay's note of July .Jd. which have not yet been we'll red. It does not follow that, 1m a use the I'uited 'States troops are to 1h withdrawn this autumn from China that our interests will -1m left com pletely at the mercy of the other powers.

From estimates "made by reliable person who have just come from tial vest oi ! Mt Is Iielieved that not less than l.ni and po-ssibly as many as 'junt fieople . were drowm-d.
