Washington, Oct. 1s.-Minister WI
called upon the president Wednesday
and conveyed message from the EN-
peror of China, thanking President
Mckinley for the consideration shown
by the United States during the Chr
nese trouble, Referring to the report
from Pekin that the edict for the pun
ishment of certain officials had been
forged, Minister WI said such a story
was preposterous and should receive
no credence whatever, The advices
received by Minister WI gave no in
dication of purpose on the part OF
the royal family to return to Pek'n'
although there is reason to believe
that efforts continue to be made to in
duce the emperor to return to the
capital,
Rus.,a's Attitude Condemned.
Berlin, Oct. 1s.-The Kreuz Zeitung,
in review of the Chinese situation,
severely condemns Russias attitude,
contending that 1t will not serve kus-
sia's own ends to treat China too con-
siderutely.
A letter has been received here
from two German merchants, who
left Tien Tsin August II and reached
Pekin simultaneously with the relief
column. They claim to have found
indubtable proof that Baron Won
Ketteler, the murdered German min
lister, went to the tsung-li-yamen at
the expressed desire of the whole dip
lomatic corps, after having been
strongly assured that there was no
danger. They say that his whole con
duct before and on the day of the
murder was devoid Of provocaton
The German papers point out that
these statements, together with pre-
vious similar reports, show conclu
sively that the assertions of the Eng
fish and Russian journals charging
Baron Won Ketteler with foolhardi
ness have no foundation.
