ping such movements in the bud. The
state department. officials are anxious to
accept Wu's message as accurate but there
are some clouds OF doubt about it. The
question naturally arises, as it has many
times in the past two weeks, If the
Chinese government can communicate in
this way with it's representatives abroad,
why can it not permit tho foreigners rep
resented to be under its protection also to
communicate with their governments.
In answer to the other question as to
what purpose would be served by a mis-
representation Of facts in this fashion, it
is pointed out that one result desired by
the Chinese would be the preservation OF
Tien Tsin and another would be the
abatement of the popular resentment
against the Chinese, temporarily at least.

tives first, the great viceroy may have

self of his wisdom and experience with
foreigners to extricate it from the present
position. The second motive, and one not
SO promising for a speedy settlement OF
the trouble, is that old Lii has been called
upon to establish communications with
the foreign commanders and diplomatic
representatives with the deliberate pur-
pose of showing di ssension among them
and paralyzing all efforts at joint action.
The officials here are perfectly satisfied
that any such move as this would come
to naught, being thoroughly sure now
that no matter what doubt may have
been entertained at one stage, each and
every one of the great powers represented
in the field in China is loyalty living up
to its pledge to attain the objects set out
in Secretary Hay S Identical note to the
powers. This statement is true as to
Russia, as we'll as to other powers, ac-
cording to the best authority.
Confirmation of the transfer of Lii
Hung Chang to the north came to the
state department not only from Minister
WI, but in a cablegram from Consul
General Goodnow at Shanghai. 1t is
stated that Ii Hung Chang has started
from Canton on his way to Pekin. 1t is
expected that he will land at Taku, or at
Shan Hal Kuan, port on the gulf of
Pechili, connected by good road with
Pekin Ii the viceroy can get into Pek1n

the European prime ministers will seize
the opportunity to make one more test of
the truth of the latest reports respecting
