YASIILN:T0X, Sept. l.-The ques
tion of withdrawing ' the Atuork-an

fore the I'resideut. and a sieedy de
cision Is expected aud required. There
are ditferences among the oiHoials Iu
Pt-kiu ou this subject, and the Issue
is.ifor'the President to decide. The
action of the J'reuch (lovernmeuL as
reported by cable dispatches, in join
ing Itussia orders for the with
t'rawal of troops, has brought about
a i-onti agency tout-heI upon iu the re
ply to Jtussia in the following lan
guage: ; '
"The result of these considerations
is that unless there is such general ex
priiwiou by the .Powers in favor o'f
eoutiutted occupation as to modify tlie
views expressetl by the Government
of liussia aud lead to a general agree
meut for the continued occupation, we
shall give Instruct ions to the command
er of the American forces in China to
withdraw' our troops from Pekin. af
ter a ilne conference with the other
commauders as to the time aud man
ner of withdrawal."
General Chaffee was made acquaint
ed with the' attitude of the Goveru
, inent, and was directed' to hold him
self iu readiness to withdraw his
troops. -Undoubtedly lie has confer

according to the terms of the uote. The
sending of further supplies to him. has
been stopied. and he now awaits tmt

to give that signal.
