By egraph to the Horning Star. Washington, September 8. Orders have been cabled to General Chaffee to prepare his forces for withdrawal from Pekin. Further than that, the War De partment has taken steps to have at Taku a sufficient numW of United States transports to remove these troops to the Philippines as on as they reach ihe port. These orders are preparatory, and do not necessarily indicate that our goveru merit has de cided finally upon an immediate with drawal frcn Chirja. It is timply plac ing ilself in a position to carry out the pledge conveyed in the reply to the Russian note in this lauguage: "The result of these considerations is that unl.ss there it? such a gt-beral es predion by the powers in favor r..f couiinued occupation as tu modify vis t'xpicsied by th goveruuii-ni Of liUShla illul Irad t a, K?iiitil a-jrfenK'nt for continued occupation, we shall give instructions to the American general in China to withdru w our troops from Pekin, after liue con ference with the other commanders as to the time and manner of with drawal." Russian and German Designs. - Up to the present our .government has not changed its policy in this mat ter of withdrawing' our troops from China as soon as this could be done consistently. It is intimated that the prospect for st curing these objects through completely harmonious action by the powers is brightening every day. It is felt that this is a time for compromise propositions, as between the Knssian and German design) in China, and such propositions iow form the substance of nearly all the diplomatic exchanges which are iu Progress. The continuance of quiet in 'ekm, tending to reassure the Chinese officials, is believed to be rapidly has tening negotiations for a final settle ment. There is the best reason to believe that were the Chinese govern ment once assured of the personal safety of its members ; were it reliev ed of a fear of a dismemberment of China, and the menace of a large for eign force in the capital, the imperial Court, including the Emperor and Empress Dowager, would lose no time in returning to Pekin and open ing negotiations for a settlement Hence the suggestion has been thrown out that the allied forces in Pekin be reduced to a number suffi cient to ensure the immediate safety of the legations, while the remaining forces retire beyond the walled city, perhaps to Tien Tsin, and if the pro gress of the negotiations seem to war rant it perhaps be withdrawn alto gether from Chinese soil. There are only two obstacles to the execution of this plan. One is the difficulty of framing suitable guaran - tees for the continuance to a satisfy tory conclusion of the negotiate "the a final settlement. The oV factori The other obstacle . -ercome bv a threateneH ? u,i-a of the refractory power? Ar it is oelieved that no onar would care to pursue a w- upon China when the other powers had deliberately ex pressed their judgment that further hostilities were unwarranted. Beside, hostilities under such conditions tend' ing to injure the interests of the other powers in China, might be regarded by them as authorizing a joint demand upon the single power for guarantees. which wouia oe very aimcult to meet For this reason it is hoped that the powers can oe Drought to act in har mony in the matter of the evacuation of Pekin, and it is entirely possible that if this plan is adopted that all' of me American trooDs. save a small number left to guard the legation at ream, can do wnnarawn from China before Winter sets in.

Made a Record Breaking Ran from Ch . cago to Milwaukee Addressed a Large Crowd. "v Taiegraph to the Mornlnz Star, i . Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 8. Wm. J. Bryan made a record breaking' jun from Chicago to Milwaukee to-day, to open the Democratic national c4i paign in Wisconsin. Ninety-six uijn. utes after the candidate's special triin left Chicago' Colonel Bryan was h: w ing to a crowd whick met him at the depot here. At the National Park' he addressed a large crowd. He saiq in opecitg: "The Republican party is not pre pared to defend its position before the country. The leaders talk about the money question, nd yet they are no belter able to defend the Republican position on the 'money question than they are on other questions. The only reason they prefer to talk about the money question is that when they talk on that question they can use old argu men Is, and when they talk on the trusts and imperialism they cannot use any arguments." Applause. The Republican party had put itself on re cord in the bimetalic intern a-J tioual commission and in the financial world as in favor of both metals. He criticised the Republicans for not standing fast ou the money question, and added that "now theRepublicaea say the maintenance of the gold stand ard is the paramount question. If there any man here who believes thst any financial syste.n is more (im p .rtHni than the form of govc-mn e:'t under which he Jives, then h can aw' with the Republican? partv.

The German say : 'I don't believe in a system that takes the best years of a vouns man's life and devotes them to au arm v.' and the Republican leader says 'Never mind your boys, provided you have got a dollar in your pocket.' Laugh ter. The German says: I can e to this country because I believe in lib erty. I came here because I believe that the people are the source of power. I am here because I want to have the individual to have his rights respected and his participation in the govern ment protected' and the Republican leader says: 'Never mind liberty, never mind self-government, never mind anything hut the dollar.'
