China Appeals for
American Friendship
Reply Is Favorable -AmeriCans at Variance With
Europe in Sizing Up Situation ACCEPT
Statement That Legations Are Still
Safe...Not at War With China.

Washington. July 22. - President
Mckinley has received what purports
to be direct appeal from the Chinese
Imperial Government to use his good
offices to extricate that Government
from the position in which 1t has been
placed as a result of the Boxer upris-
ing. Although 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
made known here, 1t is believed that
the dispatch to the President Is similar
In terms. In our case, the communi-
cation was made through Minister WI
to the State Department. Thus far Il
final answer has not been returned.
The French Government answered At
once, but that answer will not serve
us. The United States Government is
proceeding upon an entirely new line
Of policy in the treatment of the case.
Unfortunately the State Department
finds itself alone in this, but never
theless 1t is convinced its plan is the
best. and 1t has behind 1t the consolng
assurance that at present all of the
European Governments have tacitly
admitted that an error was made In
the beginning in not following the
common sense advice of the United
States naval commander at Taku.
The point of difference between the
State Department and the European
Governments is that the latter are pro.
ceeding on the belief that all of the
foreign Ministers and missionaries and
guards at Picking have been killed and
insist on dealing with the Chinese Gov
eminent on that basis, thereby assum-
ing a hostile attitude that tends 70
destroy the last chance of availing Of
whatever friendly sentiment may yet
exist among the powerful Chinese
Viceroys and the Imperial Government
itself. Thus the French reply, as in
Dictated in the four conditions laid
down by NJ. del Case yesterday. sets
an impossible task for the Imperial
Government in its present straits and
tends to drive 1t at once to make terms
with the Boxers and Prince Tuar's
party.
On the other hand our Government
while not guaranteeing the truth of
the advices from the Chinese Govern
ment as to the safety of the foreign

Washington, July 23.-The President
has answered the plea of the Chinese
Emperor made through Minister W.
and expressed his willingness to me-
diate for the restoration of peace IN
China. His policy will be announced
tomorrow when the text of the Chinese
the Presidents message. 1t Is known,
however, that the answer is entirely
consistent with the policy of Secretary
Hay in his note to the Powers. and
moreover 1t accepts as truthful the
Chinese statement relative to the safe
~ of the foreign Ministers at Picking.
II would not, of course. he possible TO
take initial steps toward mediation

to entertain open distrust of the accu-
racy of the statements Of the other.
There must be confidence between
them. The United States answer does
not go to the length of the French ans
wer to a similar application in laying
down conditions which the Chinese
Government could not meet even II 90
disposed If 1t actually is struggling for
its own existence.
II does. however, look to the i'm

statements temporarily, in the mean
time RENTING none of its efforts to
get across to Mr.. Conger, through the
use of military force If need be. BY
following out this policy the State De-
partment argues that 1t retains two
chances instead of one. 1t may reach
Mr.. Conger with troops and also may
secure his deliverance through the
friendly offices of some of the powerful
Chinese officials. which the Powers are
not likely to obtain for their own pco-
pie by following out their own presen
policy. 1t may be stated also that the
United States Government has not in
tended and does not intend to relin
quish any part of its claim for compen-
sation and reparation in the ultimate
settlement Its position in that re-
spect, 1t holds. will not be effected I'M
favorably by prosecuting its efforts to
