Sun Francisco April 20 Edwin II
Conger United States minister to
China accompanied by his wife
daughter and Miss Pierce arrived
from Clilnu yesterday on tho steamer
Nippon Muni Mr Congers arrival
was awaited with considerable Inter
est not only on account of his connec
tion with event In China but from a
political standpoint There was a
great desire to know what position Mr
Conger would assume with regard to
the coming gubernatorial nomination
in Iowa To a representative of the
Associated Pross Mr Conger when
asked If he cared to make nny expres
sion on the governorship mntter said
I do not wish to make nny public
declaration at this time I havo not
yet had time to read tho correspond
ence which has met me here So far
as I am at present advised I see no
reason to change my position as ex
pressed about two months ago before
I left China I received two telegrams
from the United States One asked
me If I were ti candidate for governor
I answered I nm not The other
telegram asked whether I would ac
cept the nomination If tendered me
I replied that I would accept If the
nomination came to me but that I
was In no sense a candidate I do
not care to nor will I say anything
further In the matter until I reach Des
Moines I do not know what the sit
uation In Iowa is and do not care to
say nnything definite until I nm fully
advised My present Intention and de
sire Is to return to China and finish
my work

ger turned interviewer and was partic
ularly anxious to know what had been
done by the powers in the matter of
Indemnity He was asked for his opin
ion as to the nmount of indemnity
China could pay Throe hundred
million dollars he replied
Concerning events In China Mr Con
ger said that there was nothing new
to bo said In that direction as every
thing that happened had been told
fully together with many things that
never occurred Tales of brutality
had he thought beon exaggerated Of
course there were cases of outrage
by Individual soldiers which were not
sanctioned by officers These were
but incidents of war which found pal
liation in the fact that the Chinese
had killed 40000 native Christians
and 100 Europeans Asked in regard
to his future plans Mr Conger sold
he would remain In this city until Sat
urday morning when he would leave
for his home In Des Moines la At
