MR. MCKINLEY
GROWS SQUEAMISH.
MUST ASK CONGRESS AS
TO A LITTLE ACT OF
IMPERIALISM.

Washington, Oct 6-The Ameri-
can answer to the French note,
which is the pending phase of the
Chinese negotiations to be disposed
of, has been pretty we'll defined,
although it will remain for the
return of the president and meet
ing of the cabinet to give the answer
formal defnitenees. limitations have
been conveyed to some of the
foreign representatives that this
government may not be able to
concur in the lnterdiction of the
import of arms into China. and also
that there may be serious constitu
tional reasons requiring at least two
of the French proposals to be sub
mitted to the American congress
before they can be acted upon affirm
atively. These two latter PROPOSE
tions relate to the establishment of a
permanent guard in Pekin at the
legation, and to permanent main
tenance of q line of communication
from Pekin to the sea The perma-
nency of these plans appears to
involve possibility of territorial oc
cupation, though of 8 limited charac
ter, both.at Pekin and along the road
from Pekin to the sea, and it is
understood that even if these moves
were regarded with favor by the
executive branch there would be
constitutional reasons making it de-
sirab!e to submit them to congress
This idea mas been put forward only y
in tentative way, as indicating to
foreign representatives some of the
questions which will have to be taken
into account in giving an answer to
the French note
The news which the United States
Government has received of the pur-
pose of the Chinese Imperial Court
to take up it's abode at Using An Flu,
iu the province of Shen 81, comes
from Japanese official sources, but so
far there has been nothing from the
Chinese officials 10 show chat the
movement has taken place The
State department has put forth all Of
Its efforts to bring about an aban-
donment Of the project
However it is now conceded that
the presence of the Emperor and
Empress in Pekin is not absolutely
necessary to the attainment of a
satisfactory and permanent settle
ment of the Chinese trouble, though
it is undoubtedly true that their re
turn would hasten the settlement.

ton will be called. Every mine wil'
be requested to send delegates II you

deny the charges that the strike vas
brought oe for political reasons and
that the bisuminous coal operators were
connected With it.

absolutely untrue

the statement of the operators that they
would not recognize the uoion they had
