Prnilson to Withdraw Frtni Tekin
and Allow the Government to Resume
-Quickest Way to Secure Claims.
The olouds in Ghina seem to
bo breaking. Russia leads and
the United States falls into line
for withdrawal from Pekin. The
destruction of the empire is not
the object of the powers but the
empire with rulers as refugees
ib a, jhoatic afiair and it is be-
' lioved that to withdraw from
IVtvin and allow the government
to resume' its functions is the
only "way by which to get at an
adjustment of difficulties and re
cover claims.
The United States credits Li
Hung Chang as a duly author
lzed agent and will gladly see
the co-operation pf the powers
in the plan.
