The above is respectfully copied for

communicated to the secretary of state
for his excellency's informant ton"
The Presidents reply was transmit
ted to Minister WI in the evening.
Mr.. WI is inclined to take an op-
timistic view of the situation, but it
can be said authoritat;vely that his
view is not shared by the Washington
officials. A strong hope is expressed
that the Chinese government vii! ac-
cede to the demands eventually, and,
perhaps, very soon.
Il think Earl Lis designation a cap
ital one. said Mr.. WI. aside from
the emperor and empress he is the
highest official of the Chinese govern
ment, and he has the implicit conf
dence of all Cinnamon. In many ways
he is eminently qualified to act as an
intermediary between his own govern
ment and the representatives of the
powers which may be appointed to act
with him. He has done excellent work
for the Chinese, and they have great
confidence in his discretion and wis
dom. Earl Ii has Travelled over a large
part of the world, has met many of its
foremost people, and they are familiar
with his ability. I hope his appoint
ment viii be acceptable to the powers,
and 1 know the results of the nego-
tiations conducted by him will be sat
isfactOry alike to Chinese and to for
eigners, for he will be just and honor
able in all his dealings"
