WASHINGTON , Aug. 13. Indie ;
tions of the desire of China for
peaceful settlement of her present difl
culties have been displayed for seven
days. Official notice of that desire wi
presented to the department of stai
today. It was in the form of a
edict promulgated by the empero
Kwang Hsu , appointing Earl Li Hu
Chang envoy plenipotentiary to neg <
tiate with the powers for "an 5mm
diate cessation of hostilities" pemlin
a solution of the questions which ha\
grown out of the anti-foreign uprisin
in the empire. Earl Li is to act d
rectly for the emperor and a fair ir
ference is that whatever the terms <
the settlement they reach with tli
powers will be approved by the impe
rial government.
During the ( lay only one dispatc
that was made public reached any c
the government departments froi
China. A belated message from Mir
ister Conger was transmitted to th
War department by General Chaffee. 1

Minister Wu was an early caller a
the Department of State. Shortl ;
after 9 o'clock he made an enguge
ment with Acting Secretary of Stat
Adee to meet him at the departmen
at 10:30. Promptly at that hour th
minister's automobile stopped at th

to Mr. Adee a copy of the imperia
edict which he had received last night
It had been transmitted to him in th' '
Chinese foreign office cipher and it
translation and preparation for sub
mission to the Department of Statx
had occupied much of the night.
Minister Wu remained with Secre
tary Adee for three-quarters of ai
hour discussing the terms of the edic
and the probable response to it o
this government Shortly before Min
ister Wu left the department Secretary
of War Root met the two diplomats
but remained only long enough to re
ceive a copy of the edict and discus ;
it brieliy with the Chinese minister.
Minister Wu thought the edict pre
sented a means of peaceful adjustmen
af the present trouble and that the re-
luest of the Chinese government foi
i cessation of hostilities pending peace
negotiations was entirely reasonable.
Immediately upon the conclusion oi
the conference the text of the edict
: ogether with the details of the call oj
Minister Wu , was communicated tc
President McKinley at Canton. The
president's reply has not yet been re
ceived. Later in the day Acting Sec-

Secretary Adee , by direction of Pres
dent MeKinley , presented to Ministc
Wu for transmission to his governmei
the reply of the United States to tli
imperial edict appointing Li Hun
Chang envoy negotiate with the peers \
ers for a cessation of hostilities. TIi
text of the reply will not be made pul
lie before tomorrow. In effect , hov
ever , it is a reiteration of the demand
previously made by the United Statt
upon China coupled with a vigoroi
intimation that no negotiations will Li
entered into until the Chinese goven
ment shall have complied with thos
demands.
This government , inspired by a di
termination to effect the rescue of tli
legationers besieged ii Pekin , takp
advantage of its reply to. the edict t
reiterate the demands previously niad
upon China. These demands fin
were made by the president on Jun
23 , and subsequently were reiterate
substant'ial.y by Acting Secretar
Adee by direction of the presiden
The demands for the protection of th
ministers , for free communication b <
tween them and the restoration of 01
der in China form the Keynote of th
memorandum forwarded to the hnpt
rial government by the president tc
day. The iteration and reiteration o
the demands must , it is thought , mak
it perfectly clear to the Chinese gen
ernment that no negotiations will -
entered on until a square-toed core
pliance to them be made. Should th
demands be acceded to , there will be
it is said , no obstacle in the way of tin
settlement of questions arising.
Mr. Wu declined tonight to mait <
any statement , bearing on the reply
not even being willing to say whethe
or not it had been received by him

" DEAR JIns. PIKIUIAM :
Ihavetaken LydiaE. i'inkham's Vege
table Compound as advised and now
send you a letter for publication. For
several years 1 was in such wretched
health that life was almost a burden.
1 could hardly walk across the lloor ,
was so feeble. Several of our best
physicians attended nu1 , but failed to
help. 1 concluded to write to you for
advice. In a few days I received such
a kind , motherly letter. 1 followed your
instructions and am my 'old self *
again. Was greatly benefited before I
had used one bottle. May God bless ,
you for what you are doing forsull'er-
ing women. ' ' MILS. CI.AICA GATES ,
