Washington Siit 10 With the Clor
niHii proposition to postpone peace
negotiations with China until the per
sons responsible fur tlio Peking out
rages nu punished and the Itouch
untl Hii slttii notlllontlon ot the pur
pose of tho e governments to begin
such negotiations at once awaiting
lilm the president tountl much mut
ter of linpoitauce to dispose of on his
nrrival In Washington from Canton
yc toulny He lost no time In notify
ing the ofllduls he desired to consult
on his return and the day was hugely
given up to pilvate dlseuuslon Mr
Atleu spent the afternoon consulting
Acting Soototary Hill and In drafting
the note of lowponse to Germany but
till Inlormation as to Its natuie was
refused at the state depiutment It
was bald that the note Is to he gone
over eaiefully at a further meeting
between the president and such of his
advisors as are In the city The Ger
man government apparently Is anxious
for a speedy answer as Huron Stern
beig paid two visits to the state de
partment alter the eruian note was
dellveied The Chinese minister nlo
wuh twice at the state depaitment
seeking to influence tiie government
not to agree to the joint action sug
gested In the German note The con
clusion leached from the days devel
opments Is that the powers are divided
as to China and that at piesent Ger
many and ti cat ltrltaln stand aligned
against Fiance and Russia while both
sides are ardently seeking the adher
ence of the United States government
The issue appeals to be made up in
Biich shape as to dismiss further hope
of obtaining that harmony of action
respecting China that the president
has been seeking so far and the point
apparently has been i cached where
the United States must take sides or
at once proceed to act entirely inde
pendent of other powers in i caching a
settlement The Chinese government
Ik urging the latter com so upon the
Ktate depaitment but thus tar theie
has been n retraining foice in the de-
fclrt to nuii making the United States
the lirst of the powers to change front
lii the dealings with China
An Important conference over the
nuswer to the German note was held
at the white house late last night It
is undei stood that the answer of this
government as now framed is in el
feet a diplomatic relusal to accede
to the German proposal
The first definite determination to
begin peace negotiations with China
seems to have been i cached by the
Fiench and Russian governments
which have made known their puipose
to proceed with negotiations with Li
Hung Chung and Piince Ching as soon
as feasible

Loudon Sept 120 The only news of
any lmpoitance from China this morn
lag Is contained in a Times dispatch
from Shanghai dated yebteiday as
serting that Sir Claude MucDonald
will become British minister at Toklo
uud will bo succeeded at Peking by
Sir Ernest Mason Satow the piesent
British minister at the Japanese cap
ital This says thp Times corre
spondent Is disappointing to Htltlsh
ers in the far east as they had hoped
that a stronger diplomatist would be
tent to Peking
Reports from Nankin point to the
Increasing activity and influence of the
uutl foieign paity The manner in
which the Yung Tse vlceioys have
been Ignored by the throne In refer
ence to pea e negotiations while im
perial edicts order the Mnnchu lcadei s
to resume the control of atfaiis Is
capable of only one lnterpietatlon
Shanghai reports seem to show quite
a shower of edicts regaidlng nego
tiators to which little impoitance is
attached According to the Daily
Mails St Petersbuig concspondent
Kubsla will claim an indemnity of
100000000
A Washington special says The
chauge of front on the part of the
United States government regarding
Russias evacuation proposal waB due
to the fact that Mr Conger mid Mr
Tower confirmed Information ob
tained by the Hritish minister in St

proposition concealed a well designed
