WASHINGTON. Auir. '."J.-'nio cabi
net session resterdity prut lieully opened
10 consideration the inotnoiitoii quev
timid p rowing out vf tin laptiire of Pe
king nnd the war in t'hinu. Heretofore
tbe shsorblnK quest ton ha heeii the safe
ty of Minister Conger and tbe lcgntimi
er lit Poking:. Now, however, that ha
itiven plaeo to problems of a more In
tricate and farrenehinR rhurneter. touch
iiiB the vury existence of the Chinese em
pire and the part which the Amoricun
government is to take in the recount ruc
tion of that country.
The meeting was devoted entirely to
the Chinese situation. Secretaries Hay
and Hoot, who have been most active in
directing affairs, were absent from the
city, so that the iitteiiduin-e compara
tively was small, the president having
with him Secretaries llnce, Hitchcock
and Wilson and Postmaster Ueneral
Charles Emory Smith. Several que
(ops were awaiting attention.
Tint of these was the application of
Li Hung Chang for the appointment of
Minister Conger or some other commis
sioner to negotiate for the cessation of
hostilities. The decision arrived at was
MINISTER CONGER,
to reject the appeul, and a reply of this
character will be sent to Minister Wu
to be forwarded to la Hung Chang. The
moving cause for this action is that this
government is at present very much in
the dark as to whether there is nny ex
isting government in China. With the
capital in the bunds of the allies, the
emperor and dowager empress fugitives
in hiJiug and the entire governmental
fabric paralysed, there is no evidence of
n authority adequate to conduct nego
tiations and secure results which will be
final and binding. It was stated by
members of the cabinet that the Chinese
ttablishniont instead of being n gov
ernment appears to lie an enormous,
fcradless nffair, without knowledge of
what is for its best good uud without
power to enforce its wishes.
With the recognized ruler in flight no
one seems to know who, if anybody, is
directing its affairs. As China is an ab
solute monarchy, without any legislative
liranch, the emperor and dowager em
press are all powerful, and practically
they are the empire of China. Under
the present remarkable conditions the
fnlted States will net with extreme cau
tion in whatever steps it may take to-
ward a solution (if the pending problems.
In the meantime there is reason to be
lieve that the United States and all the
other powers interested will keep their
armed forces on tin- ground, ho that or
cer may be maiutaineil and at least a
semblance of stable government brought
out of the existing chaos.

SACRED CITY ENTERED.

the Capture of 1'eklnv.
LONDON, Aug. 22. In the news that
reached London this morning direct from
China there is nothing to confirm the re
port thnt the dowager empress has been
run to earth. Ihe foreign envoys, ac
cording to the Shanghai correspondent of
The Daily Express, are proceeding to
Ticn-tsin. The same correspondent
avers that the sacred city was entered
Aug. lo, two days earlier than Hear Ad
miral Iiruce reported.
'The Hugs of the allies," says the
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Mail, wiring yesterdny, "are now float
ing over the imperial palace. Street
fighting, however, continues. Considera
hie assistance in the capture of Peking
was rendered by 4,000 urined native
Christians. The legations were enabled
to hold out by purchasing ammunition
from the Chinese."
American action in refusing to deal
with Li Hung Chang in the peace pro
posal meets with unanimous approval at
the bunds of the morning papers. The
Standard says:
"We imagine that other powers will
take the same course at any rute until
Earl Li produces satisfactory evidence
of his authority to negotiate."
The Daily Chronicle says:
"Mr. Conger has nt last opened the
eyes of the state department to the real
character of orientals.
The Daily Express prints this morning
a long letter, said to have been written
by Vice Admiral Seymour, in which he
stoutly defends his action in advancing
to the relief of the legatioiiers when he
did," saying:
"Two or three times our prospects were
very dark, and disaster seemed probable
Yet I never regretted that I hnd started
as I could not have respected myself if I
had not done so.
Itefernng to the difficulties of con
trolling mixed troops und to their char
acteristics, he says:
"The Germans we admired most, but
for dash nnd go none surpassed or per
haps equaled the American. The French
had no particular rapprochement with
itnv other nationality. 1 be
ami Hnssinns were inclined to hold to
gether, but the America ns were with us
always."
It is reported in Odessa, according to a
dispatch to The Daily Express, that, in
consequence of the strain upon Russia's
financial resources owing to the Chinese
rampaign, a specially accredited repre
sentative of the Russian minister of
finance, M. do Witte, has concluded oi
ls about to conclude "an arrangement
with a syndlcnte of all the great insur
ance compnnies in the I'nited States" for
a loan of :tiMi,ooo,iii io rubles.
