Washington, Aug. ii. it Ih stated
bmclnlly tonight that this government will
pay no nttcntlon whatever to the latest
uppcal from China transmitted In the lorm
of a memorial from tho southern viceroys
begging the United States to use Us In
fluence against the landing of Iitllisn
troops In the Yang Tho valley. ThU
memorial was transmitted to the Slate de
partment this morning by thu Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu. It urges upjn this
government tho serious consoiucnces that
would follow tho landing of a Urltlsh foroo
at Shanghai and represents that tho prep
orations already mado have Induced n
panic mining tho resident Chinese and will
paralyze commercial ocllvlty In that purt
of the empire, ulmcst as much as a formal
declaration of war by Great Ilrltaln.
This government decided, however, that
not only would It be' entirely out of Its
province to Intorfero with tho DrltlBh pro
gram In southern China which wus being
cairled forwnrd by Admiral Seymour on
tho ground, with the full knowledge of
local conditions, but In view of China'"
present recalcitrant attitude and tho lack,
tip to dnte, of- oven a acknowledgment
of our latest demand concerning the safety
of our ministers, tho United Stntes was
not Inclined to shoulder any of China's
troubles with Orcat Ilrltaln or with any
of tho other powers. Consequently tho
nppeal of the viceroys will bo Ignored. It
Is poBSlblo that the communication from
Minister Wu may be turned over to the
British government for Its Information on
tho general friendly principle that has
teen adopted by tho powers of keeping
mnh other Informed on the various de
velopments In the Hltuatlon. Uvon this
Step, howovor, haB not been decided on
yet and will bo left to tho Judgment of the
president.
JtclutloiiH with .Inpnn Arc Conllnl.
In connection with the pioposcd landing
of Admiral Scymour'ri force It may bo said
that tho report of Japan's opposition to thl
move is without any official confirmation
nero?" Tho Japanese -minister, in general
conversation, when tho subject was first
broached, said that ho had no Information
of any protest having been cntorcd by
Japan. What developments sulwequent
.vontH might brlug It was Impossible for
him to say. It may bo said, aside from Min
ister Tnkahlrn'n statement, that Japan haB
tip to dato displayed no Jealousy of Ureat
nrltain in tho Chlne campaign. Japan,
It ,ha been announced scml-ofllcially, has
no colonial ambitions.
Incidentally It may be said that tho cor
neal relations between Japan and the United
fitutes. usldo from her participation In the
Ilrltlah and Amorlcau advance on Pol
IVang, has been shown In her reply to the
Btato department's, advices concerning our
last nolo to China. This note wa trans
mitted for Information to Japan, as well
ns to tho other powers interested, and tho
Japanrne government promptly acknowledged
its receipt and Indicated its friendly ap
proval of tho atand tnken by tho United
States. While this acknowledgment was
a raoro ofllclal couittny, Japan is tho only
one of tho powere so far to give formal ox
preislon of Its concurrence in tho action
of tho United States.
Tho nctlon of tho Russian government In
nutborlzlng M. do Glcrn to start from Pckln
for Tien Tsin under.Chlncso escort caiwcs
no llttlo concern and surprlso In ofllclnl
circles here, as It is diametrically opposed
to tho oourso of tho other governments,
though thoro is no disposition to question
tho good faith which has insplrc-d It. Tho
officials say Its inly effect Is to leavo M
do Glers acting Independently and upon his
own discretion. If ho determines to leavo
I'ektn with a Chinese guard nnd succeodfl
In getting through to Tien Tslh It at least
will have demonstrated that this courso Id
JesH hazardous than has been mipponcd
Tho position of (he United Stntes author
ities is unchanged, however. In declining to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Tho gravity of
the Chinese situation was in no wuy abated
by the developments of today. The State
department early posted n bulletin glv.ng
nnother dispatch from United States Min
ister Conger, trnnimltted through Consul
McWndc nt Canton. This showed that the
situation prsct.cally was unchanged nnd that
the minister was maintaining a stout heart
In his present ordeal.
A dlfpatch from Admiral Rcmcy gave a
fow military details, but nothing which shed
light on the future military oaoratlou3.
Acting Secretary Adee had long conference
with Secretary Root In reforenee to tho lat
est developments, but the ollicmls main
tained much reserve as to the government's
plocedurc. For the moment attention Is
strongly directed toward tho situation nt
Shanghai, whero Vice Admiral Seymour has
determined to land Urltlsh troops.
The Influential southern vice; ays of China,
Including I.i Hung Chang, have unite 1 In u
communication to Washington asking that
tho United Stntes use Its good ofllces with
the powers toward stcng that forc'gn forces
are not landed nt Shanghai. The message
was prosentcd to tho State department to
day by Mlnliter Wu, who received it from
China last night, it develops the fact for
tho first tlmo that an ngreement wns mado
about one mouth ngo under which tho pro
tection of the city of Shnnghal Is placed In
tho care nf tho foreign authorities.
It Is pointed out that this protection can
be exercised best by united action of nil the
governments without the lnndlng of troop3
of any onB or moro of them, nnd ns evidence
that this protection 1a nmple nt present
It Is stated that twenty foreign war shlp3
are In tho oiling. It Is understood that tho
landing of troops tins not yet occurred, but
a Urltlsh force for this purposo Is now en
route I'rom India.
A member of tho cablnot stated today
that the reported imperial edict authorizing
Ll Hung Chnng to negotlnte for peace was
likely to havo no Immediate effect on tho
situation.
"It may bo true," he said, "and the Chi
nese may be awakening to a realization of
the situation. Hut neither that edict nor
anything else will bring nbout any change
In the present plan and determination to
push on to Pekln and rescue tho legations.
I do not apprehend that anything will oc
that will be sufllclcnt warrant for stopping
tho march on to tho Chinese capital. Tho
ministers must bo rescued first. We
would put llttlo faith in any such step until
It is backed up by something moro definite.
M Hung Chang may Immediately put him
self In communication with some of tho
powers, but It will not affect present plans
until our legat'ons nro rescued."
It wns further stated that this govern
ment did not have u high opinion of tho
icllnblllty of tho Chinese, statesman and was
not Inclined to pin great faith to his acts.

tho communication todny from Minister Wu,
who received it last night. Tho document
states that an agreement was made about
a month ago by which tho foreign govern

claimed, enn bo amply carried out without

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Tho Japaneso
government has not Informed this govern
ment that Its dock nt Kuro could not bo
used by tho Oregon long enough to mako
psrraanent repairs, us published todny. Hut
this government, knowing tho great voluo
of tho dock ut Kure. felt that it would be
an imposition to mnnorollzo so valuablo an
adjunct of the Japauciu navy Just at this
time, and therefore has decided that tho
Oregon shall bo only temporarily repaired
at present. Tho word "temporary" convoys
perhaps a false impression, Inasmuch as tho
repairs wuich It will undergo will bo mm
pleto ns far as they go. Tho repairs to tho
Injuries to Its hurt will be comnleto when
It leaves tho Kure dock, but the work of
repairing tho interior fittings to Us injured
compartments will bo postponed until somo
convenient time In tho future. It Is said nt
tho Navy depnrtmont that when It leaves
the Kuro dock the Oregon can resume ac
tive srrvico and remain In commlsiion u
long as may be deemed necessary.

ST. PBTKRSIJURO, Aug. 11. The Offi
cial Messenger today publishes thu follow
lag:
The foreign ofllco recolved a telegram to
day direct from M. do Glers (the Russian
minister nt tho Chlneso capital), from
Pekln. Tho dispatch was evidently tnken
by special courier to Tsl Nan from the
capital of Shan Tung nnd wns thence tele
graphed, August 7, by the local yamen.
M. de Glers announces that the slcgo of
tho legations continues, the besieged still
having somo provisions left. Tho Chinese
government proposes to transmit tho nitn
Istcru' messages and that they leave Pekln
b tho ministers had not sufficient guar
anty they replied that they must recolvo
tho permission of their governments bo-
fore leaving the city.
Tho Messenger then announces that the
czar's approval has been given for M. da
Glers to start for Tien Tain with his cntlro
stuff and the inarlun guard, on condition
that tho existing government at Pekln and
tho emperor afford them sum guaranty
that tho Journey enn be undertaken without
danger.
At tl.e sumo time ,M. dc Glern Is cxpectcC
to call attention to tho heavy responsi
bility tho Chinese government will lncui'
should there bo the slightest Infraction of
tho vlolnblllty of the persons accompany
ing them to Tien Tsin.
Tho Chinese minister, Sir Chth Chen Lo
Feng Lull, In an interview today, said that
tho ministers of tho powers tn declining to
leavo Pekln bad undoubtedly complicated
tho situation, nddlnr, thnt if the allies
pushed on to tho capital It might have tho
effect of Involving tho southern provinces
in great trouble. Only today, the mlnlstcc
continued, ho had received tho Information
that the proposed landing of Indian troops
at Shanghai had already caused grave ap
prehensions nnd there would bo an exodus
of Chineso merchants. If thoso troops were
lauded, he pointed out, others, of course,
would follow nnd great conflicts would re-
suit.
Tho minister also said that If tho powers
had adopted his suggestion and opened ne
gotiations with Ll Hung Chang matters
might havo been arauged.
Tho march of the allies on Pckln, tho
Chlneso diplomat further remarked, would
probably endanger tho foreigners' lives, add
ing that telegrams had nlrondy lieen re
ceived showing that troublo has arisen In
this connection.

tho recent notions at Pel Tsang nnd Yang

strategic tenure of Tien Tsin against thu
Chinese troops sent from Pckln, or from

railroad and river communication. Tho
military authorities hero also malntnlh
thnt nn ndvatico upon Pekln with thu pres.
ent forces and lacking an officer lu chief
command would bo equivalent to failure
and enormous losses. Tho foreign office
wholly distrusts tho reliability of the
news that Ll Hung Chang has been em
powered to negotiate for peaco nnd tho
German press coincides In that view.
The news recolved hero thnt tho Unltod

of Field Marshal Count von Waldcrsce
to tho chief command of the allied forcch

It Is hero supposed that such matters

States will also do so, slnco such actio
contravenes tho open door policy. Ger
many, before long, will havo u good-sized
force In Shanghai to jdicckmato single
handed tho Urltlsh schemes there. Th.
correspondent of tho Associated Prcsn

purposo nnd to protect German commer

tubly at Shnnghal and Hun Jol.
Wnlilemrc- Will Hnvc Trouble.
Tho German press comment nnent tht.
present situation Is very varied. The
Lokalnnzelgor deems It probublo that
Kit-Id Marshal von Waldcrsee will not be
bedded In roses In China, owing partly to
tho manifest lark of harmony among the
powors, even at this early stage, nnd It be
lieves that before long quarrels will nrlso
between Russia and Japan, Franco anu
Great Ilrltaln nnd tho United Stntes nnd
Grmany. It points out that tho main dlt
feronees between tho powors are not of "a
military, but commercial character."
Tho Vorwacrts soys: "Tho Irresponsl
bio China policy." meaning tho emperor's,
has thus far carried everything before
lt," nddlng thnt "the responsible cabinet
has all along boen annulled by tho em
peror's."
Sovernl papers, among them being the
Hamburg Correspondenz, counsel tho Im
mediate seizure of tho right shoro of tho
Yang Tso by Germany In order to ncu
trallzo Great Britain's nttomptH there.
Tho Oermanla and tho Cologno Volks
Zoltung. the two leading Centrist organs,
Insist that the Reichstag instead of tho em
peior decldo on tho present and tho future-
China policy to bo followed uy Germany.
Pretext In llpcl I-orelncr.
Tho British nows about the Pretoria
conspiracy to selzo tho person of Lord Rob
crts and shoot all the Urltlsh officers possl
bio Is discredited here. The VoBSlsche
Zeltung ridicules tbo alleged fact that
fifteen conspirators should plan such an
elaborate scheme- requiring, It claims, a
much larger number for Its execution and
tho Heutscho Tnggrs Zcltung recalls tho
previous alleged Johannesburg conspiracy,
whose purpose, It adds, like tho present
plot," was meroly a British desire to expel
nil foreigners and others considered ob
noxious.
Tho Vosslsche Zeltung prints a private
letter from Pretoria dated July 10, In which
lt Is related that the British iBsued orders
expelling forthwith a number of peacea
ble German residents of Pretoria and else
where, giving them but u fow hours In
which to regulato their private affairs. But
finally, on the strenuous objections of the
German consul, tho orders of expulsion were
rescinded.
Tho Berlin police have authorized the car-
tying out of the Liebknecht funeral plnns
for tomorrow. Tho procession will contain
three bands of music and probably nbout
SO. 000 persons will participate through tho
wholo city. But lt Is specified that thero
must be no display of red flags.
Tho semi-official Mllltalr Wochenbatt
contains a flattering criticism of tho official
United Stntes work. "Tho Civil War," saying
"No European nation ever Issued such u
work."

PARIS. Aug. 11. Though ofllclal France.
when forced to a decision, will graciously
dmlt the superior rank of Field Marshal
'omit oti Wulderseo and ncltnow ledge him
s generalissimo of the allied troops In
China tho Paris press nnd French citizens
will accept tho situation with a grimace
such ns bitter medlcluo produces. Though
jenrs havo passed the time Is not long
nough to efface tho memory of the duy
when the Gcrman troops marched along tho
Champs Klyseo and lt Is thought an ex
peditionary force under a Gertnnn rom-
mnnder will be HUflkicut to throw the nntl
republican press Into qiinlms of resent
ment. Nnturally tho government Is the
object against which It hurls its anathemas.
Tho Llbro Pnrolu says: "Wo will bo con
nldured u nation of tho second part In fact
it part of tho German federation."
Thu Kcho dc Purls speaks of the humll-
nllon of tho French soldier nnd tho sac
rifices therein Imposed. Whnt mnkes tho
lose more nauseating is the fuel that Gen
ernl Negrler on July 21 pleaded to bo Bent
tn China, but his offer to go was not ac
cepted. Ho outranks Count von WaldcrBeo
nnd thus lt would hnvo boen permitted to
Franco to hold tho lending ofllco. The an
nouncement In Herlln that Franco acquiesced
in the selection of the comtnnnder-ln-chlef
is nt least premature. No such acknowl
edgment has been ndmltted, so tho for
eign ofllco Informed the Associated Press,
but there Is nn disposition to slum! out
ngalnst tho other powers In consenting when
Count von Wnlderseo shall have reached
China.
Paris, which began seriously to doubt
that M. lichnii or nny of tho delegation
staff wns living, was Intensely relieved on
Thursday when tho minister's measago ar
rived. Tho tone of tho dispatch was warmly
applauded nn Indicating thnt tho ofllclal
position of Franco was not ono of aggrand
izement hut of slmplci regard of the lives
and property of tho Christians.
Krenrli Contempt of Court.
Tho courts this week have had a souvenir
of tho high court In tho proceedings ngalnst
Dr. Do Vlllers. charged with Insulting Irr.

Do Roiiledo. Dr. Pozzl wns u member of the
court. Tho men met nt a club nnd Do Vll
lers said: "I nm sorry to see you 'since
you dared to condemn Do Roulcdo whom
u Jury had acquitted."
Tho result was a duel In which Dr. Pozzl
was wounded. Although n reconciliation
wnn effected the government decided upon
n prosecution on tho ground of protection
of tho eourt'H verdict and Dr. Do Vlllora
was lined f!,000 francs.
M. Leplne, the Purls prefect of police,
hnn taken sternly In hand two of tho most
annoying evils to which strangers In Paris
nre bound to submit trickery nnd over
charging on tho part of cab drivers and
tho pestering of promeunders on tho
boulevnrdH by persons bent on tho sale of
transparent cards, salacious literature nnd
other articles, tho salo of which would
mean lmmediato Imprisonment In nny city
of tho United States. So vigorously has
the latter class boen assailed by tho po
lico that many Innocent nowsboys have
been arrested, but M. Leplnn'n efforts havo
been very notlccnblo on tho boulevards
the last two nights.
For tho regulation of the cab service
and tho doing away with the maddening
faults which causo many an American to
iibo tinprlntnblo words, ho has Issued a
long sorlcs of rulcn compelling cabmen to
notify passengers of tho oxaet amount of
