"Purposes of Russia in China. ("Telegraphic instructions sent to the represen'tatives of-the United States In Berlin, Vienna, Taris, Loudon, Rom?, ITokio and St. Petersburg). "Deparment of State, Washington: "The Russian charge yesterday after noon made to me ad oral statement re specting Russia's purposes in China, to ie fnflilowrng effect: ' .. That as already repeatedly declared. ussia has no designs of territorial ac quisition in China; tnar, equally wit!) ther powers now opera tin? tnere, Kns- sia has sougght safety of the legations at Pekin and to hel-vthe Chraes'e gov ernment 'to repress the troubles; that in cident! to necesray defensive meas ures on the Russian border. Russia has occupied Niurfiwang for military pur poses and, as soon as order is re-established, will retire troops -therefrom, the action of other powers be no obstacle thereto; ithat the purpose for which the various governments have co-operated for relief of legations in Pekin has been accomplished: that, taking the position that as the Chinese government has left Pekin. there Is no -need for- her repre sentatives to remain, Russia has direct ed 'the Russian minister to retire with his official personnel froai China: that the Russian troops ..win likewise be withdrawn; and that when the govern ment of .China shall regain the reins of governm-wit and afford an authority with which the otner powers can deal, and will express desire to enter into negotia tions, the Russian government will aho name its representative, i-okLing these views and purposes, Russia expresses hopes that the United States will share the same pdon. "To this declaration a reply- has been made by the following" memorandum in response to the Russian charge's oral communication made Au gust 2S. WOO, to the Acting Secretary of State, touching the purposes of Russia in China). The government of the Untied States receives with mucj satisfcatkm the reiterated statement that Russia has no designs of territorial acquisition rn China, and ihat equally with the other powers now operating in China, Russian bes sought the safely of her legation in Pekin and to help the Cninese government repress the existing troubles. The same purposes have moved and will! continue to control the government of the United States, and the frank declarations of Russia in this regard are In accord with those made to -the Uni ted States by the other powers. All the powers, therefore, having disclaimed anv purpose to acquire any part of China, ana now tnat aunerence (thereto has been renewed since relief has reached Pekin.. it ought not to be difficult by concurrent action through negotiation to reach, an amlcableettlement witn China by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be. secured for the ftviUTe, an open door assured, the interests and property of foreign citizens conserved, and full repa ration made ror wrongs nad injuries suf fered by them. "So far as we are advised, the greater part of China is at eace and earnestly desires to protect the life and property of all foreigners, and in several of th- provinces active and srierssful efforts to srupress the Boxers have been taken by the viceroys, to whom wo Jmro fended encouragement tnrough our con suls ana naval officers. This present good relation should be promoted for me peace or t'ftina. t hile we aeree that th immu iWtject or which the military forces of t ue powers nnve been co-ODe a'ive ai-'n-ly. for the relief of the ministers at P. kin has been aetomid hed. ih r. m .mams the other ptirpes which :i" the pojrers hare in common, which fire, -re ferred to in the commujic.it o:i ,,- re Russian charge and which were ypecifi- ca; wuiuciaicu m our note to the po V ers of July 3rd. 1 'These are: To afford all possible nro tectlon everywhere in China to foieio-T. life and. property; to gund and piotct all legitimate foreign interest; to aid In preventing " the spread of the d'sor- ders to other provinces of the em;i e and a recurrence of such disorders, and to seek a solution .. which may.T -bring a!bout permanent safety and peace, to China, preserve Ch'ne.e teiritcriaj ard administrative .entity, protect all ri?hti guaranteed .by treaty and international law to friendly powers, and safe-mra d I for the world the principle of eaua&ar-d t impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese empire. - "In our opinion these purples could ' best be attained -by the joint occupation of Pekin tnder a definite understanding between the powers, . until the 'Chinese government shall hare re-established and i shall be in a position to enter into new treaties with .adequate provisions for re paration and guaranties of future pro tection. With the establishment aid recognition of such authority, the United States would wish to withdraw its ml " tary force from Pekin and remit to the ) processes of peaceful negotiat or our iustx demands. ! "Wa consider, -however, that a cos i tinned eceuparton of Pekin would be in erreetive to produce the deired lesnU, unless all the powers unite thereon with entire harmony,f purpose. ;Any power which determines to withdraw its troops from. Pekin will necessarily procetd thereafter to protect its jntarests China by its own methods, and we think that this wouQd make a eeneial with drawal expedient. . As to the time and manner of withdrawal, we think that, in view of the imperfect knowledge of the military situatkra resulting from the in terrup'tion of telegraphic communication., the several military, cammanders at Pekin should he instructed to -confer and agree together upon the withdrawal as a concerted movement, as ths?y agreed upon the advance.- "The" result of these considerations ; that unless there is such 'a general ex pression b j the powers in favor of fin tinued occupation as to modify the views expressed by the government of lussia, and lead to. a general agreement fff c'n tinued occurjation, we shall give instruc tions to the commander of the American forces in China to withdraw our tcq s from Pekin after due conference w,th the other commanders as to the time ai;d manner of withdrawal. VI me government or tne unuea orates is' much gratified by the assurance givn by Russia, that the occupation of Niuch wang is for military purposes incidental to the military f tops for the securiry if the Russi-an border province nienac dJ by the Chinese, and that jis sO.m as oixier shall be re-es.tablishctl, Russia will re tire her troops from those rlaces if the action of the other powers be not n obstacle thereto. No obstacle in this regard can arise through any action of me unitea tates wnose .poucy is nieu and has been repeatedly proclam?d. "AL.VKY A. ADJiiE, . "Acting Secretary. "Washington, August 28. ."You will communicate the foregoing to the Minister of Fo.eign Affairs and invite early consideration and respons?." The correspond ?nce shows that the United States believes that if one power withdraws from Pekin there will b general withdrawal. The' teply spates that unless the powers ageeito reman in Pekin, the United States wilL with draw to Tien Tsin. The -Russian prop osition is plain and to the point, stat ng clearly that their troops will le with drawn from Ch'na entirely, and that J (he Russian minister will also ie re-1 called. It is estimated that nil of the powers have agreed against partitioning Ch r, but the replies are regard:6i-Nis hems anything twit clear. The document seems to favor remain-; ing in Pekin. but assures Russia that if no other power disturbs the concert by refnsintr to withdraw, the United States wiH act with- Ru.-:a and that in thej event of any power deciding to lemam in Pekin. the United States will retain their troops there also. As had been anticipated, Russia noias thnt her attitude is identical with that of the United States and promises to retire from Niuchwang as soon as practicable. It is explained that js th're is no Chi nese government at Pekin, the Russian minister had been ordered -to retire from the capital. The action of Russia, in proceeding to withdr-sw frr "-,China fore shadows" a broalrf the-ct5r3;rt.f allied forces m Pefcm wlucn nvt.yh xpectea ret result In the final scpararVm ef the bodies and a general withdrawal .to the coast." Riiia is now in . the open and above suspicion, according to tier ftatement. The only obstacles to a general nder standing now remaiittne nre e many, Italy and probably Great Britain. It is believed that when these have been fully assured that the restoration of the gov ernment at Pekin will hring ah nt op portunity for full and eomnlete indemni ty for all wrongs suffered, rt general withdrawal will not be oppofed. Rus- sia s witnaraai irom .iuithiib u4 leave nothing to be des-reO: by tne sus pecting powers and will more-than likely be the means of settling a disagreeable diplomatic muddle. ALL COTTIING OUR WAV Germany Will Not Re an Obstacle to Settlement of the China Qnrstlon Washington, Aug. 31. The attitude 'of the United Spates is now one of waiting for the powers to come to its wtay of thinking, and It looks as if they are go In,? to do this. .The only disturbing cle ment of doubt so far as this srovernment is seim-offiei'ally informed h been with rcgnad to Germany's attitude. It ap pears, however, that Germany lis well sis Russia has been misunderstood and Baron Von Sternburg. the . German charge, in on authorized interview, swid today that German- is not going to be an obstruction to the peaceful settle ment of the China tangle. He said that GeTmany's attitude has been misrepre sented, and wMle not declaring in . his official capacity his government's inten tions regarding the approval of the Uni ted States policy is set out in the Russian-Chinese correspondence. . he said it would sfoon be found that? Germany wouM in no manner block the way to pence. It is understood that the Ger man charge inform-ovl Acting Secretary of State Adee to this , effect when he called- nron him before being interview ed on the subject. ' From the text of the correspondence as made public it " would appear that Russia 'proposed the withdrawal of her troops from Chinese territory altogether, but th's is not "borne out by the reported conversation as It took pkvee between hc representatives of Russia and the United States. . - .. Russia in her diplomatic dealings with the oowers maKes her commun5cardons orally, (and the conversation is after ward reduced to fwritinc A cabinet of ficer Aaid today, however, that Russia's charge, M. DeWellant, ; statexl to Mr. Adee merely ..that -Russia wished to "vrithdraw her troops from Pekin nd no reference to advice to take them beyond the border of the celestial empire. The tone of the United States' reply to Russia's proposal is e&asric and a careful reading of the documents makes it dear that this goverriment in no way committed itself , to following any other policy than that which' it announced from the beginning. There fis no devia tion from the straightforward and ?ailv understood purpose of the United States that has been made plain fince Julv 3, when Secretary Hay's note wa promul gated tvnd which had' been repeatedly reiterated hy the Presfident and his Secretary of State. .

HAVE BOODLE TO BURN Henna Ilaa a Trtmandeni Cormptlon Fund Contrihated by the Trneta-Hew the Presidency Waa Stolen in 1896 Altseld Wants Vigilance Co'mmltteea Appointed In Erery Preclnet to Watch the Voting and t'ountlngt Chicago, Aug. 31; Ex-Governor -John P. Altgeld wants . the Democratic Na tional Committee to organize a vigilance committee to watch the count of bal lots next November. He declares .that the Republicans are depending on fraud and crime at the polls to carry the election, and for the purpose hare raised $23,000,000 from the trusts. Democratic Managers say they will keep a better watch this year than they did in 1896. Mr. Altgeld made, in part, the follow ing statement: "In 1892 Cleveland carried Kentucky by about 43,000 majority. In 1896 Mr. Bryan got about 43,000 more votes than had been cast for Cleveland; so he evi dently carried the State by about 80,000 votes, yet it was counted for McKdnley. This was accomplished by means of false returns and wholesale fraud committed in Louisville and in the mountain dis tricts,, which- were Republican. ' "Careful examination of the returns from Ohio in 1896 showed there were from 50,000 to 70,000 fraudulent votes counted. In Indiana there were between 30,000 and 40,000 more votes returned than were egalIy cast In uiinoia Vfrv method of fraud was practiced that was known to man. "In Chicago a careful comparison of the vote returned in 1896 with the votes of prior years shows that in the neigh borhood of 72,000 more votes were re turned than were honestly cast at that election, and for the entire State up wards of 100.000 fraudulent votes were returned. I do not believe the Republi cans can practice frauds this year on such a wholesale plan as they did in 1896. . "We feel that these crimes can be pre vented. I believe that if our people will form vigilance committees in every pre cinct of this country, make a careful list of all the legal voters . and then take a position Inside tb booths when the counting is in progress and see that there is no raise count made and that ! t tie votes cast for the Democratnc ticket are. not counted for the Republican can- lidates and. that there is an honest re turn, then we will sweep the. country f rom one end to the other, and the Reoublicans will not be able to ' carry eisht States in the Union." RAILROADS PROVE THIS RULE ?Fanr Witnesses Testify as to ths Cua torn of Asaesalns Private Property Asheville. N. C. Aug. 31. Soecial. A great many witnesses were examined in the Corporation Commission tax? case here yesterday and today, and' the senti-I ment is that the railroad companies have, proved the rule of reduction in valua-i tion overwhelmingly. Witnesses have come from over twenty counties and are the most prominent men in the counties, generally sheriffs, chairmen of boards of county commissioners and assessors, reg isters of. deeds and clerks of the Supe rior courts. All of these witnesses have testified tommies of reduction. In mnay cases it was shown that the assessors had met and agreed to undervalue and assess private property in the county- at one half of its full valne for taxation. "Much surprise was expressed here atlmnvnr will tpviaw thA nnmrte of the. seeing in the News and Observer a con- traaicrion oi me racx tnat tne corpora- tion Commission was without counsel, at this hearing, because it was well known, .that one .of the commissioners, Mr. Rogers, had expressed publicly . that neither Col.

Ex-Senator Mur phy said today that the anti-Coler and afcti-Hill forces in the Democratic State Convention would control more than 200 of the 450 delegates. He intimated that there would be some surprises when the delegates lined up at Saratoga.-,. While it is certain that they will have a safe working majority on every proposition, Messrs. Croker and Murphy are watch ing their opponents caefully. They have made.no representation in the selection of candidates because Hugh McLaughlin has not yet indicated his preference for governor. . The Kings county leader is the man who Teally controls the situa tion, because he holds the balance of power with his sixty-three delegates. McLaughlin is to return to Brooklyn next week from Jamesport, and until then the Democratic leaders will do little in the -way of selecting candidates for ther Saratoga convention.
