RUSSIA'S MOVE STILL DISCUSSED,

It Frustrates Emperor

THE UNITY OF YHE ALLIES IS SEVERELY TESTED.

Russia Looked Upon with Suspicion by the Powers,

(8recra, ro Tae Exauiver,]

Loxspon, Sept, 1.—In the absence of furs ther news from China, the’ papers are again filled with discuesions of the Rasso~ American proposals which, eo far as may be gathered from representatives of opin— ion in the various European capitals, are calculated to subject the unity of the allies to an exceedingly severe and dangerous test.

In Germany especially those proposals are £0 diametrically opposed to the Em, peror William’s policy that they have produced something like consternation. As the Daily Mail editorially remarks :

“Count Von Waldersee was assuredly not sent to assist in restoring the Empress Dowager.

“Jt i recognized on all sides that Ger- many’s decision is the pivot of the matter.

“Emperor William intended by des" patching Count Von Waldereee to bave the master band in the Chinese settlement.

* Russia bas taken the wind out of that Officer’s sail, and is now posing as the triend and protector of China.”

“The moraing papers express the great- est suspicions of the inteutions of Russia.

The Times’, editorial which fairly res presents the opinion of all, says:

‘*The advantages of Russia’s pclicy are not manifeet and it is very doubtful whether it will recommend iteelfte power ers Jike Eogland and Germany that have

@ large formercial interest in the establishment of state and progressive

Government ‘to reylace the reactionary clique which has impeded all progress and development in China in recent years,

“To withdraw from Pekin would be in« terpreted as proving not only that the allies are cowards, but that they are hopelessly divided.

“It may be that eome of the powers wil withdraw, but that does notimply that others are bound to leave Pekin and to acquies ce in the restoration of a Govern- ment guilty of a gross international crime.”

WHAT GENERAL MILES SAYS.

Cmicaco,S¢ pt 1—That the acute stage in the Chinese situation has not been reached is the opinion of General Miles, He regards it as quite possible that a gen- eral conflict of the powers may result from the conflicting interests in China, and believes that an attempt on the part of come of the powers to partition the Celestial Empire amovg themselves would be sufficient ground forthe United States to resort to force,

DEATH AND TURMOIL,

Description of the Conditions at Tien Tsin After Its Capture, (Correspondence ot the Associated Press)

Tien Ts1x, China, July 17.—The an” cient stone (walls of the Chinese city of

occupation by the allied troops a square

mile of sash filth, ruin aid death turmoil and _ pillage that history could hardly duplicate | Under

nor nai Sonditions the place was no betier than ahnge césspool festering with the ac- cumulated rubbish sid slop ¢ from a pop: ulation of nearly a milliow people packe d into a labyrinth of hovels. It isthe car« nation of all the suffering horrore and

wasteof.war. The European soldiers where they fought their way up to the walle saw flowing in the canals and ditches outside dozens of Chinese slain by their own people because they had refused to fight. The bodies were headiess and their hands were tied behind their backs. The heads were diecovered afterwards, Rows of them decorated the outer wall, Five flags were fiving from the high walls when thie newepsper correspondent entered — British, America, French, Japanese and Ruegian. “It was hard enough to get those flags up there,” re- marked a foreign officer, “‘but the real trouble will be to get them down.” “

The surburbs of the city presented a foretaste of what what was inside. Shells had torn the huts and ploughed the ground, while the dead men scattered among dead horses, pigs and dogs; teati- tified how thorougbly the bullets had swept the regionthe day before. The sights inside — respect for the fighting quali of the Chinese. Their dead were everywhere. Dressed in the coarse blue cooli blouse and trousers de- corated with characters guaranteed to renderthem invulnerable to foreigo bul lets, they were strewn all alovg “the ‘op way wherethey had fallen. Walking a quarter of a mile alongthe embankment the bodies averaged one inten feet and the wall was nearly ten miles long.

Throvgbout the city the demolished houses ard hundreds of kill‘d gave evi- dence of how vastly more effective had been the foreign shell fire within thé walls of the city than the Chinese bom- bardment of the foreign settlement,which, lasting fer a month, had killed only a dozen people. The viceroy had construct led in the palace yard two comfortable and impenetrable tomb-proofs, excavations guarded by sandbags, _but the panamea people were lying dead *:, the strects, toru terr bly - shrroel. The livirg populace were utterly indifferent about tneir dead. They would not drog the bodies oat of ‘he streets, or even cov*t (hem Overs

Most remarkpble of ali the sights wac fe looting of the city, ‘(he middle of the place was like ana:t hii', kicked open. Chinese swarined everywhere, thousands and thousands of tem diving into the fiames of the burning shops, get inz under falling walls and into choking clouds of smoke. Most of them were half naked, grimy with smoke and sometimes dripp> ing with blood. A Chinese appearing with a prize must fight hie way, other Chinese sprang upon him and c'utched his plauoder. They rollei axong the corpses, pulling and teariog, while chiid- ren being trampled down cried for help ard the mob poured right over them.

The palaces, the miot, the pawnshops, the etores of silks, furs and jewelry were the objects of attack.

Near the middle of the city was the most presperous pawnshop, #n institution that had probably existed for centuries. Wealthy Chinese were accustomed to store their winter clothing there for eafe keep- inge When the doors were batt red down the mob flowed in like a tidal wave. In a twinkling ell was pandemonium, Two forces collided in the gateway, a ruth of Chinese struggling to enter and another line fighting to get ont with great arme of loot, while an occasional soldier went through the crowd. The looting flourished for threedays. On the first day it was entirely unrestrained. Many whitef people ac: cumulated stacke of goods by simply standing at the cily gates and holding up the bist laden Chinese from the endlees procession thet flowed out. Pack-borees, carte,rickehawe,coolies loaded with trunks sud sacks and piled with loose silke, turs and bronzes, crowded all the roade leading down to the settlement. On the second daya conference of commanding officers decided to adopt repression niea- sures. The commanders, excepting the French, empowered the British, who were doing provost duty, to seize all loot. The official statement was that 21! seized leot would be held, the proceeds to be divided among soldiers as prize money. Today the walled city looked as though a tornado had struck it. Epough valuable property has been destroyed to stock a big city and enough seized to give every soldier a con- siderabie sum if the distribution is honest- ly administered.
