Washington, Oct. 5.-Propositions of
far-reaching character concerning Chi
ma are being presented in rapid success
sion to this government. The state de-
partment had no sooner disposed of one
of these propositions, by delivering a
response to the German government.
than it was confronted by the even
more important proposition submitted
by the French government, and within
half an hour formally seconded by the
Russian government.
The answer to Germany covered the
Subject of Furnishing Chinese Offenders,
and made known that the United States
had instructed Minister Conger along
the lines suggested by Germany. These
Instructions look toward securing the
names OF the persons deserving chas-
|tisement, also whether the punishments
accord with the gravity of the crimes
committed. and finally, in what manner
the United States and other powers are
to be assured that satisfactory punish
ment is inflicted. Aside from these spe-

washington. Oct 5-The American
note TO Germany Is regarded as one Of
the most important moves thus far
made, not only in fixing the course of
events in China, but in giving formal
expression to the growing and most
satisfactory state OF feeling which has
arisen lately between the governments
at Berlin and Washington. This has
come about after several extended con-
ferences between Secretary Hay and
Baron Sternberg, all Of them looking
toward common action by the two gov
lernments. AS these dispatches stated
yesterday, the point now under consid-
leration is the supervision by the minis
tiers of the powers at Pekin of the pun
ishment to be administered by the Chi
nese authorities. The desires of Ger
many in this matter We're expressed at
length and communicated to the presi-
dent. They met with most hearty ap-
proval, as they seemed to Ne in line with
what the United States had announced
as one Of its chief aims, viz: to hold
the guilty parties to the uttermost ac-
lcountability for their wrong doings. As
a result, Secretary Hay prepared the
note delivered yesterday. 1t was ca
bled Immediately TO the Berlln lorelgn
Office 1t is felt here that the American
note will create the most favorable im-
preston, in Berlin and prove another
bond between the two governments.
The instructions to Minister Conger
disclose the firmness with which this
government will see that the punish
lments are admins cred. The chief per-
sonages guilty Of the outrages have
been taken into consideration during
1.-THE latest negotiations, and it can be
stated that foremost among them are
Prince Tuan, Chao Shu, Chiao and
Kang vi. Except Tuan. these names
lhave been little mentioned among those
1 China has marked for punishment, but
they are none the less those who have
l|had largely to do with the outrages and
.|they will be held to a strict accounta-
|bility. The German note contained in
yesterdays dispatches from Berlin con-
lcerning the punishment of Chinese Off
iIcers is that which Baron Speck Won
glsternberg has so earnestly urged before
lSecretary Hay within the last few days
4 and to which the favorable response OF
1.-THE United States was communicated tc
