Washington. July 22-President Nc
kinIey received what purports to be a
direct appeal FROM the Chinese imper-
iai government to use his good offices
10 extricnte that government from the
position in which II has bsen placed
as result OF the Boxer uprising. Al
though the exact text Of the appeal
made by the Emperor of China to
France, aS outlined in the cable dis
patches OF yesterday has not been
known here. il is believed that the dis
patch to the President is similar in
terms. In that case. the communica-
fion was made through Minister WI
10 the State Department. Thus far n
final answer has not been returned.
The French government answered at
once. but that answer VIII not serve
us. The United States government IS
proceeding upon an entirely new hne
OF policy in the treatment OF the case-
Unfortunately the Stale Department
finds itself alone In this, but neycrthe-
less Il is convinced IT'S plan IS the best,
and il has behind Il the consolinE as
surance that at present all Of the Eu-
ropean governments have tacitly adj
mitted that an error was made Ia the
beginning in not following the COM
mon sense advice Of the United States
naval commander at Taku.
The point Of difference between the
State Department and the European
governments fs that the latter are pro-
cccSiinE on the belief thar all of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards nj PeEtn have besu killed and
insist In dealing with the Chinese gov
ernment on that basis. by assuming
hostile attitude thag tends 20 destroy
the last chance of ayaiiins Of whatever
friendly sentiment may yet exist
among the powerful Chinese vicrrcys
and the imperial government itself.
Thus the French repig, ns Indicated IN

If man owns a fine watch he
is particular to keep it in fine order,
he wants it to keep accurate time for
years to come. He is anxious to pro-
tect it from injury and to have every
part work with delicate precision. If
be is sensible he selects skillful
matchmaker and leaves the care of the
watch to him. At least once a year
be has him make a careful inspection
of it. He does not wait until soms-
thing breaks or the watch stops, but
has it examined often to avoid such
inj lries. l wonder why people are not
just as particular about their eyes.
