ed States K"Vf riiinciit lius tiikcn the first
step toward the rt'clcniptioii t its pli'de
Dimlo to tilt? KiiHsinn ovi'innifiit Au.
28 liiHt by cabling itiMrurtionx to (it'll
ral Chaffee to reduce tin Atiii'tlcun
forrt'i in China to the proportions of n
legation gunrd. Nearly a month nisn
the Uussiuu govcrniiient vw told throimh
I. de Wnllaut, its charge heri'. that if
the itussiau forces ami ministry were
withdrawn from Peking "we Khali give
instructions to the commander of the
American forces In i'hiim to withdraw
our forces from I'ekiHg after due confer
ence with other commanded a to time
and manner of withdrawal." That time
has come, aud yesterday's action marks
the beginning of thp disappearance of the
American army from China, for. al
though some military force is to remain, i
it will not be of the character of nu army,
but under the conditions laid down in
the order to General Chaffee and espe
cially nniler its ollicial designation as a
"legation guard" will be rather of the
nature of u civil guard. This small force
will not be included in any military op
erations which may be conducted by
the allied armies nnd so will not fall sub
ject to the direction of Field Marshal
Count von Waldersee, the commander in
chief.
Much thought has been given to the
proper number of troops to be allotted
for this purpose, and it is believed that
the 1,400 iiieu selected will be quite mitii-
eleut to protect the American legation
against nny force that could be brought
against it. It is noteworthy, too, that
the most complete arrangements have
been ordered for the maintenance of the
men, while care has been taken that
there shall not be a shortage of ammuni
tion as there was in the ltiitish legation
during the siege. It is estimated that
about a week will be reipiircd to bring
the 8.500 soldiers away from l'eking,
but if the start cannot be made imme
diately it will be at least about the end
of the first week lu October before the
movement can be completed.
Cousul General Goodnow has advised
the state department that the tuotai at
Shanghai has been degraded and that
this is believed to be due to the favora
ble attitude of that official toward for
eigners. Mr. Goodnow and the other for
eign consuls have considered the advisa
bility of protesting, but the protest has
not yet been made. The French consul
at Shanghai reports, however, that he
and Mr. Goodnow have joined in a pro
test. The state department has also received
several dispatches from Mr. Kockhill
relative to his conferences with Minister
Conger and the progress of his imiuiries.
The text of the order to General Chaf
fee is as follows:
Tending negotiations for a settlement,
the secretory of war directs that a lega.
tion guard of a regiment of infantry, four
troops of cavalry, with rapid lire guns
and light battery with complete equip
ment nnd reserve supply of ammunition
adequate for any emergency, be retained
in Peking tinder your command nnd that
you send the remainder of your force in
China to Manila to report to MacArthur.
The guard should be amply provisioned,
etc., until navigation opens next spring.
Retain such officers for staff duties a
you deem necessary. All others, of what
ever corps or department, will lie sent to
MacArthur for duty as soon as possible.
All stores, transportation and materialH
not required or the legation guard send
to Manila. Place yourself in close rela
tions with our minister, acting with him
on the lines thnt will best subserve our
interests, keeping this department fully
advised. It is important that you have
the confidence of the generals of the oth
er powers. General Wilson, with his
aids, will remnin in Peking for the pres
ent. Special instructions may be Bent
him. Cable MacArthur concerning re
quirements to carry these instructions in
to effect. Inform generals commanding
forces of other powers of our intention to
withdraw part of our forces. Show this
to Conger.
GERMANY HEARS BAD NEWS.
Bad State of Affair. In lilnu-America1
Coarse Critic liied.
BERLIN Sept. 2li.-Alnrniing news
from China has reached the German gov
ernment, but it will not be published
now, as Germany intends to use it during
the conferences in Peking. Field Mar
shal Count von Waldersee has cabled to
tmperor William direct that he h:s3
found the general situation much more
dangerous than he had expected, as it
has grown worse during the lust fort
night, and the consuls in central and
southern China are expecting a general
uprising.
Advices from Pr. Mumm von Sen wart
zenstein, the German minister in China,
are of a similar tenor.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a state
ment, evidently inspired, to the effect
that with the exception of Great Hritain
all the powers have replied to the Ger
man note and thnt all with the exception
of the United States agree to Germany's
proposal In essentials. "The appoint
ment of Prince Tuan as the head of the
Chinese government may be regarded,"
ays the Cologne Gazette, "as the first
fruits of America's policy. The Ameri
can note has evidently revived the cour
age of the Chinese and their cherished
peculations regarding discord among the
powers. The net of the empress in ap
pointing Prince Tuan is a slap in the
face for the whole world, but China will
deceive herself in this matter, as she has
done in others. Kven assuming that
active work against Chinn should be left
to only a part of the powers, that part
will he strong enough to impose its will
on China."
England and America Aitree.
LONDON, Sept. 2H.-Only through
press advices from New York, published
in this morning's papers, does the Brit
ish public learn thut the United States
and Great Britain are once again ranged
together in opposition to the continental
powers. Apparently such a grouping
waa entirely unexpected in both Berlin
and London, aud uul.il un ollicial state
ment is made comment will be withheld.
WAGE SCALE SIGNED.
Iron nnd Steel Mills to He some Op.
erntlnns,
CINCINNATI, Sept. 24. The confer
nice committees of the Amalgamated As
tociation of Iron nnd Steel Workers ami
Of the manufacturers after an all night
tonference signed the wage scale thai
ill be effective until July, 11101.
. It is what Is known as the yearlj
scale, which takes effect usually in July
Owing to the unusuul fluctuations of tin
market the new scale had not beer
signed when the mills shut down Jum
itO, and the conditions have been unfa
voluble ever since June, so that the mi 111
have been Idle for almost three mouths
As soon as the scale was signed lues
sages were sent in every direction be
fore the conferees breakfasted. Soml
mills started this morning, ami all otli
ers wiM resume as soon as possible. Tliii
decision means employment to over (HI,
000 workmen who have been Idle sine
June.
The reasons for the delay lu adjust lin
the wage scale as well as for the fie
quent prolonged conferences are found
in the slump in the market anil the fluc
tuations during the past year from tilt
highest to the lowest price. The work
ers wanted f?." per ton, based on 1 4-10
card rate. The manufacturers offered
?4.."0 per ton on a 1 cent card rate foi
boiling, and the differences were in about
the sume proportion in other lines.
FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.
Three Killed at tirnnlhnm, la. Or
ders ninreunrried.
IlAUKISM'lMi. Pa., Sept. Two
freight trains collided last evening on
the Philadelphia, llarrisburg and Pitts
burg bin lull of the Philadelphia and
Heading railroad at Grantham, ten miles
from llarrisburg, killing three trainmen
and injuring two others.
The accident, it is said, resulted from
trainmen of the Beading train disregard
ing orders to meet a Western Maryland
freight train at the Oillsburg and Mc
chauicsburg Junction instead of Bow
mnnsdalc. Their orders when they left
llarrisburg for Hagerstown were to meet
this trnin at Bowmimsdale, but when
they reached Bossmoyiie the order was
changed to meet the train nt the junc
tion. F.ngineer Stehmau says he and the
conductor forgot the second order. Both
engines were demolished, and several
cats were wrecked. The killed belonged
to the Western Maryland crew and the
injured to the Heading crew.

Ulves New York That Amnnnt.
NKW YORK. Sept. 22.-The inher
itance tax on Collis P. Huntington's es
tate will amount to more than $200,000.

Photoa-raiihlnK ! I.lslit of Venus.
GENEVA. N. X., Sept. 25.-Dr. Wil
liam H. Brooks has succeeded in photo
graphing objects solely by the light from
the planet Venus. By this is not' meant
photographing the planet itself, which

the observutory so that all outside light
was excluded except that which came
from Venus through the open shutter of
the dome. The time was the darkest hour
of the night, after the planet had risen
and lafore the approach of dawn. The
action of the light from Venus wus much
stronger than anticipated, the photo
graphic plates being remarkably clear, in
tense a'nd fully timed. The experiments
will be continued every clear night. Dr.
Brooks was an early worker in photog
raphy and has used it fur mauy years in
his astronomical researches.
