Washington, Juy 24. The proaklcnt
hius listened to the appeal of the Chl
nese government as transmitted
through Minister Wu, and lias signified
his Willingness to mediate between
the Imperial Kuvernment and the pow
frs, but only upon conditions which
first must be nnrt by the Chinese gov
ernment. Tin' t'nlted States' answer dues not '
go to the length of the French answer
to a similar appeal In laying down con
ditions which the Chinese government
could not met, evfn if so disposed, If
It actually is striiKlilInK for its own
existence. It does, however, look to j
the Immediate relief of tho for"iKii
ministers in Pekln, and moreover to
the protection of all forelKners, mis
Bionaries and traders In China, and to
the restoration of order. With that
much accomplished, the state dppart- !
ment feels that it can properly ap- j
pronch the powers with the Chinese
propositions for a settlement for what
has occurred. The Chinese appeal came
to Secretary May Sunday through Mr. ,
Wu. The secretary promptly tele
graphed It to the president at Canton,
and after taking a full day ( - " 00 - I
(deration the president's answer came
yesterday afternoon.
The Imperial edict made public yes
terday at the state department shows
that the Imperial governmenl already
has taken the first steps toward doing
what the United Slates government
requires as the principal condition for'
the exercise of Its good offices, in eu
joining the viceroys, magistrates and
leading men to stop the disorders am?
protect foreigners, Our government ,
will await the result of this before pro ,
ceedlng further. Ii is expected thai
adverse criticism upon the action ol
the state department In this matter
will be heard from Kurope. where the
governments are acting upon the belief
that all of the foreign ministers in 1
Pekin have perished, but our govern
ment nevertheless regards its course as
the correct one.
All of the Kuropean governments
have answered Secretary Hay's note
reciting the Conner message, and all of
them. In terms polite and diplomatic,
express litter incredulity In the an- j
thentlclty of the Conger message. Con
sul General Qoodnow, himself a man 1
of good Judgment, also cabled a warn
ing to Secretary Hay against the no- j
ceptance of the message without con
firmation. Hut the state department
has ftillv considered the message in all j
of its aspects, has carefully weighed
the numerous objections and suspicions
put forth here and in Europe, arul with
out guaranteeing the authenticity of
the message feels It to he a matter of
prime duty to act upon the theory that
It is genuine.
The dlspntch from Mr. Ooodnow, con
sul general at Shanghai, dateil yester
day, says that Prince Tuan wires
that an officer of tho tsimg-li-yanien
saw all the ministers on the lsth; that!
none was injured and that no attack j
was at that time being made. He does !
not say to whom the dispatch of Prince ;
Tuan wis addressed, and It is to a cor-
tain extent at variance with the dis
patch of Mr. Conger of that date, de
scribing the legation as being under;
lire at that time.
After mature consideration the of
ficials of the state department have
come to th" conclusion that by ; tele
graphic error the nnme of the inform-:
ant of Consul General Qoodnow has
been turned into "Tuan" from "Yuan."
The latter is the famous Yuan Shih
Kai, the governor of the province of I
Shan Tung. He had always maintain
ed an attitude of neutrality, ami even
has leaned toward positive friendship
lor the foreigners.

London, July 24. The Chinese miii
ister. Sir Chili Chen lo Feng Luh, has j
communicated to the press the follow-1
tng dispatch from Sheng. director
general of Chinese railways and tele
graphs and taotai of Shanghai, dated
Shanghai, July 23:
"Information from Pekln dated July
is says that the tsung-li-yamen de
puted Won Jul, an under secretary of
the department, to sec the foreign
ministers, and he found every one well,
without any missing, the German mill- !
istcr excepted. Gen. Yung Lu is going
to memorallte the throne to send them
all under escort to TienTsin. in the
hope that the military operations will
then be stopped."
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Dally Mall, telegraphing .Inly 2:!, says: ,
A letter from a Chinese official in I
Shun Tung has been received by a na- '
tlve functionary here, containing the 1
following passage:
"At the beginning of the month the
foreign missionaries (?) made several
attempts to send messages out of
Pekln, but thanks to the strict watch
kept in the city, the bearers were all
caught and executed. On the 4th Inst,
only 400 foreigners, much exhausted,
were alive In Pekln, and one night,
when the big guns were Incessantly
tin 'I. It was known that all the le
gations and the foreigners were finish- 1
ed, although pretended telegrams con
tradict these facts."

"Sacred edict. Issued by the Lord
of Wealth and Happiness.
"The Catholic and Protestant re
ligions being insolent to the gods and
extinguishing sanctity, rendering no
obedience to Buddhism and enraging
both heaven and earth, the rain clouds
now no longer visit us. but 8,000,000
spirits soldiers will descend from
heaven and sweep the empire clean of
ail foreigners. Then will the gentle
showers once more water our lands,
and when the tread of soldiers and tho
clash of steel are hoard, heralding
woes to all our people, then the Budd
hists' Patriotic League of Boxers will
he able to protect the empire and
bring peace to all its people.
"Hasten, then, to spread this doc
trine far and wide, for if you gain one
adherent of the faith, your own person
will be absolved from all future mis
fortunes, If you gain five adherents to
the faith, your whole family will be ab
solved from all evils, and if you gain
ten adherents to the faith your whole
village will be absolved from all
calamities. Those who gain no ad
herents to the cause shall be decapi
tated, for until all foreigners have been
exterminated the rain ran never visit
us. Those who have been so unfor
tunate as to have drunk water from
wells poisoned by foreigners should at
once make use of the following divine
prescription, the ingredients of which
aro to be decocted and swallowed,
when the poisoned patients will re
cover: Dried black plums, half an
once; solanum delcaraara, half an
ounce; euconimia ulmoides, half an
