LEGATIONS SAFE.
ASSERTED THEY WERE ABOUT TO
PROCEED TO TIEN TSIN.
President MrKlnlry Accepted thn Ap
peal uf the flihieiMi and la Wilting la
Mediate llelween Imperial Oovcriniienl
and llm I'nwer.
Lonixin, July 24. Sir Hallidny Mac-
Artuey, counsellor and English secre
tary to the Chiuesu legation in Loudon
asserted lust evening that tho Ptkin
-legations were safo and about to pro-
coimI to Tiou Tsln.
Washixoton, July 24. The president
has listened to tho appeal of the Chi
nese government, as transmitted
tlirough Minister Wn, and has signifi A'
his willlugness to inediutTx)tween the
iiuperinl government arid tho powers,
but ouly ujKin conditions which first
must be met by tho Chinese govern
nicnt.
The exact nature of tho terms pro-
rosed by the state department, it is ex
jHi-ted, will Is? mado public today, when
ho text of the Chiuesp apix"il and of
tho president's answer villbogi?u out.
It U known, however, thnt tho answei
in entirely consistent with the statement
of principles laid down by Secretary
Hay in his identic note to the powers,
aud, moreover, it accepts us truthful the
ChincRO statements relative to the safe
ty of tho foreign ministers at IVkin.
Tile Htute deiMirtnient has tho consul
lng iissiinuice thnt nt present all of the
rnroiH'iin governments have tacitly ad'
luittcd taut an error was nindo in tht
beginning m not folfowing the common
sense advice of the United States naval
commander at Tuku. The point of dif
fcrence ls'tweii the stato dtmrtineiil
and tho ICuropenn governments is that
the latter are proceeding upon tho belief
that all of the foreign ministers and
missionaries and guards at Pekin liavt
lnt'ii killed aud insist upon dealing with
the Chinese government on that basis,
thereby assuming a hostile attitude that
tends to destroy the hist chance of avail
ing whatever friendiy sentiment may
yet exist among tho powerful Chinese
vieerovH and the im)crial government
itself."
Thus the French reply, ns indicated
in the four conditions laid down bv M.
Di leasse Saturday, sets an impossible
task for tlie imperial government in itt
present straits and tends to drive it lit
once to ninko terms with thoHoxers and
Prince Tumi's party.
On the other hanif our government,
while not gunrnutOciug the truth of the
advices from the Chinese government as
to the safety of the foreign ministers, ii
willing to accept the statements tempo
rarily, iu the meantime remitting none
of its efforts to get access to Mr. Conget
through the use of tho military force if
need bo. I3y following out this policy
the state department argues that it re
tains two chances instead of one.
It may reach Mr. Conger with troops
and it also may seenro his deliverance
through tho friendly ofliccs of some of
tho powerful Chlneso officials, which
the powers are not likely to obtain foi
their own people by following out theil
present jailicy. It imiy lie stated alsc
that the United States government lias
not and docs' not intend to relinquish
any part of its claim for comiicnsation
mid reparation iu the ultimate settle
iient.
A particularly deplorable effect of the
reasoning of the governments on this
iMiint, iu the estimation of our govern
ment, is tho abandonment of tho idea
that there is no particular need for haste
nnd taking even desperate chances in
the effort to got the international relief
column through to Pekin. It is trne
tliut tho latest advices from Tuku indi
cate that whereas it was originally esti
mated by the foreign commanders that
the exjK'dition could not bo started be
fore Aug. 15, it is now regarded by them
as possible to mako a beginning about
the first of August.
Hut tho military experts here, who
have Wn closely scanning all tho re
Kirts from Tien Tsin that appear to be
worthy of credit, feci that even now
tho way is open to Pekin, and tho march
should begin with tile force nt present
on tho Pei Ho, leaving tho powers to
bring up reinforcements to reopen tho
base, should the first expedition bo cut
off. According to official reports tho
conn try around Tien Tsin is clear of
hostile Chinese.
Tho flower of tho Chinese, army iu
that section has been defeated at Tien
Tsin, and these army experts calculuto
that its power is so broken that that par
ticular army never cau lie reorganized
in season to offer formidable resistance.
So they argue that the time is ripe for a
troke of bold generalship, such, for in
stance, as French's rido to Kimborley.
A CHINESE EDICT
TO SAVE FOREIGNERS.
OWrluIn Warned to Trotcrt Those Not

Washington, July 23. Further proof
of official character of tho inistuke made
by foreign commanders iu tho attack
Unou tho Tuku forts is contained in a
Minmuiiication just received by tho
state deiMirtnient from United States
CoumiI Fowler, nt Che Foo. Ho bus
transmitted an imperial edict which
was supplied to him by telegraph by the
Chinese governor of Shan Tung. Ynan
Shih-Kai, at Tai Kan, the capital of the
province.
It was issued on July 17 and relates to
the present hostilities between China
and the foreign powers. Tho dispatch
containing tho edict eumo to tho state
department in such confused phraseolo
gy that it is impossible to do more than
approximately state its sense.
The edict appears to state in the be
ginning thnt owing to trouble existing
between the Christians and the iiopu
lace, and to the subsequent seizure of
the Taku forts, which aroused the mili
tary to anas, the imiK-i ial court wus lay
ing great weight upon its international
relations.
The Mono! in generals, therefore, vice-
foys and governors, aro ordered to as
certain whether tho merchants and mis
sioniiries of the various nations residing
iu tho open porta aro being protected,
ud the assertion is mado that prefects
and magistrates have been seiit repeated
imperial edicts to protect tho legations.
Orders ulso havo been seut to the pro
vincial authorities to protect the mis'
Rioiinrics. While hostilities have not
yet ceased, tho Chinese officials aro dt
reefed to give protection to tho mer
chants and others of the various nations
NATION'S ATTITUDE.
WASHINGTON, July S3. The adminis
tration Is determined to keep aloof from
any movement that would unueeeHsarlljr
entnii(te the gnveriiineiit nf t,e. I'ulted
Mates in Chinese n Hairs. It nf eourse,
must Jnin heartily with the other pow
rs In the effort to get to IVkin but II
does not follow from that cooperation
that It will lie led Into takliiK part in
any bickerings or 'dissensions tliut ensue
over the future of China after our peo
ple have been taken care nf. It Is the
intention of the administration to with
draw our forces, military and naval,
after the American In l'eklu have been
relieved aud wash Its hands of Chiuese
affairs, looking only to the preservation
of sueh privileges as It ha a right to re
tain for Ainerienus.
in accordance with treaties and must
not fail to obey.
The edict refers to the killing last
mouth of tho Jaaneso chancellor, Sngi-
yama, which it cliaractorized as start
ling. It says that a short time there
after tho German minister was mur
dered, while residing at the capital, cou
ducting international affairs. Tho edict
expresses tho dottiest sympathy on ao-
count of his death, and assorts that
stringent instructions would be issuod
to seize the murderer, who must be
caught and severely punished after the
termination of the present hostilities,
together with those who havo murdered
foreigners and missionaries or taken
their property without canso.
Tho language of tho edict, as givcu by
fir. Fowler on this subject.is very much
nvolved, but it apears to exempt from
punishment thoso who havo killed for
eigners "connected with wnr." Tho
governor of Pekin nnd tho viceroy of
Chi Ij are charged to issno instructions
to investigate and then to deal intelli
gently with eitcli ense of wrongdoing,
Tho edict stnU'S that recently evildoen
created riots, deliberately rebelled and
murdered good subjects; certainly, it
says, a deplorable state of affairs. All
viceroys, governors and high military
authorities are ordered to obtain accur
ate details, presumably of the outrages
committed by Chiuese and to mnko such
sci.nres nnd take such action as the
cases warraut in order to stop tho dis
turbances.
Beside the reference io tho seizure of
the Taku forts as one of the causes of
the uprising, the significant features of
tho edict is the underlying expression
of tho desire of tho imperial government
of Chum, not only to protect the for.
ciguers, but to make reparation for the
injuries they have sustained. That
would seem to bo the meaning of the
instructions to the Chinese viceroys Dud
magistrates to take steps to ascertain
the extent of these injuries. Otherwise
tho edict is nuuuly argumentative and
apjK'ars to bo an effort to extenuate the
courso of the imperial government. As
such it may be projxtrly laid aside for
tho present, to bo taken up for con
sideration in tho final reckoning, and
such will bo tho course of tho start de
partment. ORDERED TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS.

The midsummer vnnition has already dis

thnt the miirket will wait for Beseinor pig t

M:iny western mills have stopiiod or re

The sharp fall of 2 cents in wheat and 4 centi

after hearing much evidence, ollleial and unof

both grains. The shipments go on at a quiet
