INTIMATION THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS ACTED IN BAD 'FAITH WITH ENGLAND LON DON GLOBE DECLARES LI HUNG CHANG IS HOSTILE TO GREAT BRITAIN AND AN ALLY OF RUS SIA. "Washington, Aug. 31. Although, through a decision of the cabinet to day, the correspondence between the United States and Russia on the ques tion of restoring peace in China was made 'public, there still appears to be some misunderstanding as to the pre cise scope of Russia's proposal and the government's reply. A cabinet mem ber said to a Laffan bureau corres pond today: "The correspondence be tween Russia and the United States brings the powers face to face with the whole question. They must say ju$t what they propose to do, whether to stand by Russia and get out of Pe kin or remain there until the rehabili tation of the Chinese government. The United States is wilin'g to follow either course, but not .the latter, -unless the powers consent to remain." " He fur ther -stated,, that he thought if tke American troops were withdrawn from Pekin they would be brought to Tien Tsin, and he declared their withdrawal would certainly mean that Conger would come with them. Regarding the attitude of the other powers on the Russian proposal it is learned that the Japanese will certain ly endorse the position of the United States. Salisbury has been tele graphed for by England. and will re turn to London and take up the corre spondence as soon as possible. Ger many has asked for time for a confer ence and consultation before express ing herself. France and Italy ihave not been heard from. It. is thought here the United States secured consid erable advantage by promptly replying to Russia's proposition, thereby mak ing known its .position to the powers before they had a chance to formulate their reply and givirig the powers an advance notice of what the United States expected from them. London, Sept. 1. Misgiving has fol lowed the first irritation caused here by Russia's coup, though there is in creased likelihood of the acceptance of the Russian proposals, provided Ll Hung Chang can produce unquestiona ble credentials as Chinese envoy. The report from Vienna that the triple alliance cannot . even entertain the fdea of evacuating Pekin or sus pending military action requires con firmation. Germany will" not negotiate with Li Hung Chang until he produces full authority. All allies except Ger many really wash their wands of their present responsibility. RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL. Washington, Aug. 31.-rThe state de partment today made public the text of the Russian proposal and its own reply as follows: "Telegraphic instructions sent to representatives of the United States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Rome, Tokio and St. Petersburg: Depart ment of State, Washington, Aug. 29. T!he Riissian charge yesterday made to me an oral statement respecting' Rus sia's purposes in China to the follow ing effect: That, as already reported, they declared Russia had no designs of territorial acquisition in China; that equally with other powers now operat ing there Russia has sought the safety of the legations at Pekin and to help the Chinese government , repress the troubles ; that Incidentally to necessary defensive measures on the Russian border, Russia r has occupied New Chwang for military purposes and as soon as-lord er is re-established, will re tire her trqops therefrom if the action of other ipowers will 'foe no obstacle thereto; that taking- the position that as the Chinese government has left Pekin there is. no need for her repre sentative to remain, Russia has direct ed the Russian minister to retire with the t official; personnel from China;; that Russian troops will likewise be with drawn and that jwhen, the goventment of China cAiall regain the reins and af- 'ford an authority with whidhfthe oth er powers can deal and "will -express a desire- to'-enter Into negotiations I the -Rtutsjaiiovernnient will . also,, name 4t;;,nesentaUye-Holog. these, ttiw oa -jrargtwee, -jtvussia expresses (Continued' on fifth page. ?&'!- ' y m "i i .rTrTTTiniiwin .... iU .n.iiirfi "' " Photo by Rockwood, New York.

The letter leaves xthe matter to the discretion of the conductors.

IjfV'ashington, Aug. 31. The first au thentic and detailed account of condi tions at Pekin during the siege reach ed'Sere today. It came throttgh-ofncial German channels and gives all "the cir cumstances of the assassination of Baron Von Ketteler, the assault on the various legations, the steady advance of the Chinese until the legationers were hemmed in by the circle of Chi nese cannon and the burning and pil lage carried on by the Chinese troops and the mob. The account was brought to Tien Tsin by the courier who delivered the first message lof Sir Robert Hart, telling the outside world of the condition of affairs in Pekin. In addition to carrying this message the courier was instructed to give a detail ed account of the havoc being wrought and it is this account which is now communicated in full. The cour ier gives a minute account of his es cape from Pekin and the dangers en countered while en route. He was ar rested and searched but the messages were not discovered, being concealed within his body. It is said that the Russian legation was burning wrhen the courier left while the other legations were razed except the English, German and Jap anese. All the missions, the custom house and other foreign houses with the exception of the cathedral were burned. The cathedral was so near the imperial palace that it was consid ered dangerous to fire it. VON KETTELER' S DEATH. The circumstances of the killing of Baron Von Ketteler are recounted at length. A meeting of the tsung li ya men with the ministers of the various ministers prepared to attend the meet ing and Baron Von Ketteler accom panied by an. interpreter was the first to start to the tsung li yamen. As he passed through the disorderly crowds he was struck by a bullet and fell dy ing. The interpreter was also shot, but the wound was not fatal. The crowd was kept back and the minister was carried to the legation, where he expired.

The mur derer Tom Jones paid the penalty of his atrocious crime today at exactly 10:25 o'clock by hanging. His neck was dislocated by the -drop and in eight minutes he was -dead.

The hanging was witnessed only by a few whom the sheriff had summoned for that purpose newspaper men and two physicians and"Rev. Father Griffin, who administered unto his spiritual wants. He sold his body several days ago to Dr. Goodwin, of this city. A great many negroes were in the Immediate vicinity of the jail the same negroes who last March attempt ed to lynch Jones, but no demonstra tion was made.
