REGULARS ROUTED BOXERS. Recapture of Hui-Chow by the perial Troops Gratifying -PaoTing- Has Not Been Directly Heard From. REPUBLIC SPECIAL Washington, Oct. gratHication is expressed in official circles at the report received this evening from Consul McWade at Canton. announcing the success of the Chinese imperial troops in their operation against the Boxers.

Secretary Hay's dispatch says Hui-Chow has been retaken. The action of the Southern Chinese officials and the conduct of the imperial troops are regarded as the best obtainable evidence of the desire of the Chinese authorities to preserve peace, and the successful destruction of the insurgent organization should have a good effect, it 19 thought here, upon the whole of China and Europe as well. This Government is most anxious to expedite peace negotiations, and in view of the fact that all the Powers have favorably replied to the French proposals, It is now urged that negotiators be designated to gage in the preliminary exchange of views with the Chinese commission. It will he necessary, of course. for further negotiations to he conducted by the Powers, so as to agree on the exact basis of negotiation, but certain general principles have been and it is not thought here agreed upon, that those to which some Powers have will be insurmountable ohtaken exception stacles in the way of the adoption of a prosatisfactory to all the interested gramme Powers, This Government has designated Minister Conger to enter into preliminary relations with the Chinese commission.

and General Wilson is being held at Pekin to serve with him when the permanent peace negotiations are begun. Russian and French Ministers have The also been directed to enter into preliminegotiations, and Sir Claude Macnary Donald, the British Minister, has been authorized to do so, if, in his judgment, such action is wise. Not Surprised at Rossin. Judge George Gray of Delaware was at the White House to-day and talked with the President relative to his appointment as a member of the Hague international of arbitration. He had called at the court State Department to see Secretary Hay relative to the duties of the office tendered to him, but the Secretary WILS at the Cabinet meeting, and he saw Mr.

Adee. Judge Gray said he had not formally accepted the appointment, but would do so. The organization of this body is especially important in view of the proposal of the Russian Government to have it determine the amount of indemnity China shall pay for the outrages committed, and the expenses incurred by the Powers. The cable dispatch from St. Petersburg indicating that Russia's attitude in China would be independent of the concert of the Powers caused no surprise among officials here.

It was noticed, when the aggressive milttary movement was begun by Germany and the expedition against Pao-Ting-Fu started, that Ruasia was among the Powers which did not jein in the movement. The dispatch from St. Petersburg is looked upon as merely another step similar to that taken when Russia withheld support from the Fao-Ting-Fu expedition and other aggresgive military moves. Moreover, it is regarded as quite in consonance with the pacific tendencies of this Government, which have been directed all along to securing a settlement by dipiomatic means rather than by the sword. London, Oct.

Prince Tuan Still In Power. The evidence of Prince Tuan's continuance in power causes anxiety.

Two Chinese banks have failed; others are expected to close, and it is reported that the Russo-Chinese Bank is in difficulties, owing to the removal of the Chinese Court to the Province of Sheng-Si. Shanghai telegrams report that the local mandarins have received a dispatch from Prince Tuan announcing that the court 19 noW in safekeeping, and exhorting them to have patience until winter decimates the allies, to keep the arsenals in constant work and "everything in readiness for a massaere of all foreigners when the proper time It la also reported that the Empress ager has issued a decree removing Lau Kun WI, Viceroy of Nan-Kin, from his post, and ordering General Yung Lu to join her at Sian-Fu.
