COULDN'T STOP Ii.
Effort to Prevent Him From Leaving
Country Fails.

New York, July 20.-A Herald dispatch
from Canton says: Placards were post
ed in the streets of Canton this morn
ing by British merchants protesting
against the departure of Ii Hung Chang
and invoking all responsible men in
uniting to induce him to stay. Crowds
of merchants thronged to the viceroy
and begged him to remain, presenting
on their knees a petition bearing the
inscription I'VE humbly and repsect-
fully entreat your excellency to stay
Lii Hung Chang appeared much moved
ut he told the petitioners he dared not
disobey the mandate from Pekin He
urged thm to use their influence with
their av,ighbors and interiors to induce
them to respect the laws.
The populace then tried to block the
streets and keep the city gates shut so as
to prevent Lii Hung Chang from leaving
ut soldiers cleared the passage and
he finally embarked on board the Chin
ese steamship Amping ith a suite of 2s1
persons and sailed direct for Hong Kong.
Before sailing the viceroy acknowl-
edged to the American consul that he
received an edict from the empress last
night appointing him viceroy of Chi Ii
and commanding him to proceed thither
Immediately. He will never return to
Canton.

officials do not accept conclusions reach
ed by some of the London officials that
Minister Conger's dispatch is an old one,
which had been intercepted by Chinese
officials. Although they have not made
public the text of the message sent by
Secretary Hay on the l1th inst. to Min
lister Conger, through Minister Wu, they
say that the message received today
from Minister Conger is a satisfactory
reply to the one sent by Secretary Hay.
1t is further pointed out in support of
the authenticity Of Minister Conger's
message that the bombardment of which
he speaks did not begin, according to all
accounts, until July 8. although the le-
cations had been besieged and attacked
prior to that time, but not with artillery.

BOXER NOTES.

San Francisco, July 2O.-A telegram
received by the quartermasters depart
ment here brings the information that
the transport Logan, en- route to this
port from Manila, left Nagasaki on July
II with seventy-one refugees from CHI ma
transport comes by way of Kobe and
Yokohama.
Sam Francisco. July 2O-The Chimes,
Reform Association of America, which
has it's headquarters in this city, has
adopted resolutions denouncing the
Boxer movement, sympathizing with the
foreigners in China and expressing
illingness to join the American troops in
aiding to restore peace in the Orient.
Berlin, July 19.-The Berliner Post,
this evening. contains an article, evil
IDENTIFY inspired giving the views of the
German foreign office regarding the
withdrawal from the Chinese minister in
Berlin of the right to use the telegraph
for secret messages. The article admits
that the step is unprecedented, but de-
clares it was rendered necessary by the
abnormal relations between Germany
and China"
Rome, July 20-The Italian consul at
Hong Kong telegrapns under date of
Tuesday, July II, that Lii Hung Chang
informed him that he was going to Pc
kin to negotiate with the powers, in
compliance with dispatch signed by
the emperor and the empress dowager.
The consul asked him to forward dis
patch to the Italian minister, Signor
Raggi, but Ii Hung Chang replied that
he had no means of doing SO. Ii Hung

anger and resentment will, as a matter
OF course, be at once appeased after be-
ing respectfully considered the sentiment
indicated in a decree.
i We have decided to ask that these
Hay be enlarged in five ways-We would
ask:
"First-That a decree be issued order
ing the Tartar generals and viceroys and
governors to continue the usual system
Of AHording prOtect tfOn to foreign mer-
chants and missionaries, so as to show
that although hostilities are in progress,
noh-combatants are still under the gov
ernments protection and to display more
cle4rly the heaven-like mercy Of the
sacred throne
"Second-The lightness or severity of
the means of the foreign powers will de-
pend solely upon the fate of their min
listers. We hear that the rebels disobey
the edicts and continue the attack on
the legations. Foreign papers state with
reference to the assassination OF the
German minister that the German en-
peror has made hiS troops swear revenge.
All ministers abroad have telegraphed
and all the kilograms from foreign
sources state. as do also the consul gen.
eraf in Shanghai, that the one thing of
paramount Importance is the safety OF
foreign ministers. If China can only save
them there will be room for discussion
OF all matters and other nations will be
able 70 make terms Of peace for us.
5s"Tfird-We would also beg that a
clearly Worded decree be issued express
ing the deepest and most sincere regret
on the part Of the Chimes government for
the assassination of the German minister
and that a letter in the same tenor be
sent to the German emperor. Then we
can wait for other countries to mediate
for ps with Germany. We also pray that
letters be sent to the American and
show the
desire Of China to strengthen her friend
ship with them and to treat all nations
with equal consideration.
"FOurth-We also beg that a decree may
be issued giving authority to the Shun
Tden prefect and Chi Ii viceroys to find
out, apart from the of military prepara-
. ton, what foreigners and missionaries
establishments have suffered through
this outbreak of rebellion to make a list
Of the losses Of life and property and then
to apply for an edidt granting charitable
compensation as a proof of the thrones 8
nierciful Kindness and unwillingness to
have guiltless people involved to their
detrinent.
s"Fifth--We would also ask that de-
cree be Issued to the viceroys, governors
and high military authorities of all prov
inces saying that if any disorderly Grim
inals or mutinous soldiers are really an
noying or harming we'll people
or commMting arson, assassination or
robbery they have permission to suppress
them az the opportunity affords and re
port the measures taken to the throne.
This is the policy always hitherto adopt
ed to bring peace upon the land and hold
off those from the outside. The capital
must first be pacified and peoples minds
will then be quieted. Military discipline
MUST be rigidly enforced before the
