} PROPOSITIONS
Foreign Ministers Alive Must Be

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 24 -The state department today made public the appeal of the Chinese emperor to President McKirI9y to mediate in the interest of peace and the presidents reply. The latter is as follows:
 "The President of the United
 States to the En peror of China:
 "Gree sing-I have received your mai ssty's message of the 19sh of July and am glad to know your majesty recognizes the fact that the government and people ot the United States desire of China noth- ing but wkat is just and equitable. The purpose fer which we landed troops ID Chiaa was to rescue our legation from grave danger and the protection Of lives and property of Americans sojourning in China ill the eniaymeat9of rights guaranteed them by treaty an d by by=internation- al law. The same purposes are publicly declared by all the powers which have landed military fesse in your majesty empire. I an to infer from your maiesty's letter that the snalefactors who have dis turoed the peace of China, who have murdered the minis ter of 0 Ger- many and memb Der of the 5apanes lega tion, and who now hold besieg- ed in Pekin those foreign diplomats who still survive, have not only not received any favors or encourage = from your majesty but are actually in rebelhon against the imperial authority. If this be the ease l most solemnly urge upon your maj esty's goyernment:
 First. To give public ass ueance whether the foreign ministers are alive, and if Sd. in what condition.
 "Seco&d. Ta put the diplomatic iepresentatlr res of the powers in immediate and free communication with their respective governments, and rem owe all Ganger 10 their lives and liberty.
 Third. To place the imperial authorities an China in commaaiea- tion with the relief expedition so that co operation may be secured between them for the protection of legationers. the protection of for eigners and the restoration of or sder.
 "It these objects are accomplish ed it IS the belief of tkjs government tkat DO obstacles wid be found to exist on tbe part of t6e powers to the amicable settlement of all ques- tions arising out of the reeent t troubles, and the friendly good offices of this goyernment will with the assent of the other powers, be eheerf3lly placed at your majesty disposition for that purpose.
