MtMHtt It Is understood here that some of the powers would be glad to have the United States eliminated from participating In the settlement of the details for permanent foreign control for certain parts of China. This government baa shown a disposition to preserve the Integrity of China and facilitate the withdrawal of the army of occupation that bas been somewhat embarrassing to other members of the International concert, and there Is a vary natural feeling on the part of those nations that are not so charitably Inclined to minimise American Influence. The basis for putting through some such scheme to curtail or altogether eliminate the participation of the United States In the final settlement has been by the withdrawal of all the American forces except a legation guard and the expressed Intention of the government not to furnish troops for the permanent occupation of Chinese territory. It Is expected that General Chaffee will have a hard flght on bis hands In the council of generals unless he proves to be as good a diplomatist as lie is a soldier. , The plan of tlft opponents to the policy of tlieUalted States as It Is understood here Is to Insist that any nation that does not furnish Its quota of troops to garrison the points selected for occupation in the Ilnea of communication between Peking and Tlentfln shall have no part In the arrangement* *&C the terms definitely settling «h* Cl*«f*iD?SD»JiStveeM3blna DU'l the powers, i ThMlrovemmont Is determined not to be side tracked by any such scheme, and even If a majority of the VISIT OUR STORE THIS We have a lad; demonstrating fine quality of Dr. Hand's Com sed Milk and Evans' Bros.

While It Is probable tbat some of tbe powers would like to have a grand break up of the concert, the belief is entertained here that others, and among them a few of the strongest governments, will take tbe side of this country rather than have any disagreement tbat might Involve tbe wbole civilised world In war.
