Washington, Sept. 30.-The state de-
partment has not been notified of

partment does not know it. 1t has let
1t be known to the Chinese government
that Tuan's promotion would be un-
welcome to this government, but 1t has
not yet been informed of the results OF
that representation. Respecting the
statement that Ching has been dis

Boxer cause it Is said that all the in
formation that the department has
been able to secure touching Ching's
personality went 90 show his unvary-
ing friendliness 4or the foreigners, and
upon that record he was accepted as
competent envoy The officials de-
clined to say whether or not the in
structions of Minister Conger have
gone forward yet, but 1t is intimated
that the minister is fully advised by
this time as to the state departments
policy. It is said, however, and the
statement may be significant, that no
