Such a course undoubtedly would be .ol lowed by ItuMa and Trance, but the action of Great Britain. Germany and Japan Is problematical because of their recent agree ment. The pessimistic view of the f-ltuatlon which exists in ofKcl.il circles followed tho lecfipt of information by the State Depart ment ns to tho attitude of Germany and Great liritain In connection with the pun ishment of the lioxer leaders. These re ports said that the decree issued by the Chinese Emperor 3ated November 13. im jwlng punishment on ami-foreign Prince and officials, had created a very bad Impres sion in Berlin, and as Germany loe nit now move without tho sanction of Great Britain, and lice versa, it is presumed here that tho London Government resnrdh tho decree in the same manner. Germany ot Sntlallrd. The German Government is not satisfied with the punishment administered; it be lieves it should b2 more severe. It is appar ent to otilcials that the German Govern ment will not bo satisfied with n, moderate punishment such as would meet the natural requirements of civilization, but 13 deter , mined to -shed moro blood, even though euch action would probably solidify tho Chinese In their opposition to foreigners. Tho United States desiro the punishment of the principal offenders in such a way as will eerve as a warning to the Chinese In tho future; it seeks a reasonablo In demnity, one. that China can pay, and it wants the withdra cal of the international troops. On nope of these points is this Gov ernment in accord with Great Britain and Germany. So far as our Government is advised, the Ministers at Pekln have not agreed upon all points under discussion. They are be lieved to bo engaged now with the difficult subjects of Indemnities and guarantees. The latest American proposition was in line with tho Russian idea of allowing The Hague Commissioners to adjust the indemnities. It is believed that this proposition has never commended itself to tho British or the Gorman Governments. Falling uch ref erence, it will bo most difficult for the Ministers at Pekln to reach an agreement on this subject, particularly in Ievv of tha existence of a very strong suspicion of the, motives of some of the? Ministers. SAYS RUSSIA IS FOR PEACE. Count Cassini Says His Country Is With, the United States. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Washington. Nov. 20.
