Berlin, 24 —The semiofficial press states that Germany has refuaed the American proposal for the withdrawal of troopa from China. The reason given is that all the security offered for the carrying out of the peace conditions ia merely on paper, without any kind of guarantee. The Cologne Gasette declares that before evacuation takea place a demand ahould be made for the payment of the sum of 1,000,000 marks and that foreign capital should be allowed to take part in floating this loan only after three conditions have been fulfilled—(1) the doubling of the cuatom house duties, (2) the inspection by financial agents of China's resources and (8) the transformation of Hkin taxes inte a permanent tax payable in money.

Indeed, the understanding is that Mr. Pettigrew has been partially placated'by the promise of ccrtaiu joucet&ions in the original measure which will sufficiently conform it to his contention so as to relieve him of the necessity which he hss felt pressing upon himself to defeat single handed and alone all shipping legislation at this session.
