Show UNITED STATES HEARS FROM THE POWERS ON CHINA. Washington, Sept. a. Within the last twenty-four hours the United States government gov-ernment has received from its representatives representa-tives at foreign capitals much material information in regard to the attitude of the powers on the Russian proposal to evacuate Tekin. The exact nature of the responses is not made public by the state department, for there are yet some replies re-plies to be transmitted and until all of them are in, the negotiations are considered consid-ered in such an incomplete form that they will not be made public. It is said, however, that the answers go much beyond the tentative character of those heretofore referred to and are of a conclusive nature, so far as showing the purposes of the governments, although they may not b regarded as conclusive in accepting or rejecting the particular proposition advanced by Russia.. The responses re-sponses are understood to be rather long and somewhat argumentative, similar in this respect to the American response. This very fact is a cause for congratulation congratula-tion among officials, as they point out that there is no disposition to treat the proposal pro-posal with terseness or in any manner to give offense, but rather to bring the powers together on a common basis. |
