American Assurance
Of the Open Door

Washington, Nov. S.--O1iCials here
are at loss to know what was meant
by the mysterious London dispatch

that the news could not be published.
The Government is not averse to hav-

In Chinese ports. The Chinese Gov
eminent, through Minister WIN Ting
Fang, is keeping watchful eye on
the recent developments relating TO
China. Within the last few days he
saw Secretary Hay with view to
learning to what extent the United
States had acted. The response of the
Secretary Of State is said to have been
quite full and frank, and to the effect
that at the request of the President our
Ambassadors and Ministers abroad
had been asked to secure 1ctinite as
surances that there should be no in =.

trade and commerce to the interior of
