WI CALLED UPON HAY.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The Chi
nese minister called on Secretary Hay
this morning and had a ten minutes
talk with him. Mr.. WI said he had
received no additional information, but
thought the situation looked much
brighter as result of dispatches re-
ceived yesterday. There is a posi-
bility that Secretary Hay requested
Minister WI to call owing to the ur-
gent desire OF the administration to
secure news from Pekin.
The Secretary made known to Mr..
WI the dispatch from Consul Fowler
at Che Foo, quoting the governor of
Shan Tung as stating that the lega-
TONERS at Pekin were safe on the 9th
instant, and this was accepted by him
as conf1rmatory of his dispatch yester-
day. Minister WI said there was not
the slightest doubt as to the date be-
ing the 9Th, although London cables
suggested that the 9Th referred to the
Chinese calendar, and meant the 9TH
by the English calendar. On the con-
trary, the dispatch received by him
mentioned the 18th as the date which,
by the Chinese calendar, corresponds
with the 9Th of our calendar.

witness said he heard w. r. Johnson,

Powers said they ought to be sent away
as they had not done what they were
brought here for. Witness told Tay-

that Powers
Was a Hot-Headed Fool,
but he would wait and everything would
be all right
Witiess said he went to Berry How
ard and others, at Taylor's instance,
and told them that the Governor
wanted them to remain and not go
home as Powers wished.
On the day of the Van Meter-Berry
contest in the Legislature, the witness
said Taylor sent orders by him to as
sist Adjutant General Dixon to have
the troops in the arsenal ready TO be
called out at moments notice. The

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1s.-
There will be no further Withdrawals
OF troops from the Philippines for SER
vice in China. That is the policy de-
eermined upon and that will be adj
hered to-" A cabinet officer to-day
made this statement and then added:
Gen. MacArthur's dispatches on tha
necessity of retaining there all the
troops save those already under orders
are clear. 1t would be unsafe to take
any more away"
Then, under no circumstances will
the forces in the Philippines be drawn
on?" he was asked.
Il am not going to say that any con-
clusion reached is an absolute flnality,
but this much is positive. No Develop
ment in the situation is apprehended
such as will call for a change in this
policy as TO our troops in the Philip
pines in the present light of events"
We do not anticipate any extra ses-
sion of Congress" he said.
What if Minister CoAger and the
other Americans are found murdered?"
he was asked.
I'VE are proceeding at this present
moment on the assumption that our.
people are murdered. do not see why
that should necessitate an extra ses-
sion. An extra session is hardly nee
essary."
What if their murder was by or with
the connivance of the Chinese govern

Il do not believe an extra session of
Congress would necessarily follow"
What about the decision of ths
commanders of the international forces
that 10000 troops are necessary for the

ply. Admiral Kempff cabled that a

LONDON, July 19.-4 a. NJ
While evidence accumulates daily
that China has long been preparing
a formidable military organization
in anticipation of the present con-
f1ict and that the area of the rebel
lion is continually extending, har-
mony among the allies, which is
necessary to meet such grave sit
uation, is still deplorably lacking.
The Russians have refused Admiral
Seymour's request to hand over the
restored Taku-Tien Tsin railway to
the English company, and it is
rumored Germany purposes taking
serious independent step, name
ly, to patrol the Yang Use Kiang
with German men-of-War. Such
step would be greatly resented by
England.
Still more alarming news has
been conveyed to the Daily EX-
press from Toxic, to the effect that
the apparent reluctance of Germany
and Russia to consent to Japan
ese commander for the army corps
has led the Japanese government
to delay the forwarding Of the d.
vision already modified.
The Standard, in an alarmist edi-
torial, says:
st is useless any longer to hide
from ourselves the fact that China
has declared war on civilization
and has plunged into the conflict
with rabid frenzy. 1t is equally
futile to discuss whether HOSTILE
ties are being waged by the Chi
nese government, inasmuch as it
is evident that an administration
of some kind exists and is direct
ing the anti-foreign movement.
Unless unmistakable evidence eX-
culpating the Pekin government is
promptly forthcoming, the powers
should treat China as a belligerent
state and act accordingly"
A similar line of comment is
taken by the other morning papers.
All applaud the course of Count
Won Buelow, the German foreign
secretary in stopping cipher tele-
grams from the Chinese legation
in Berlin, and all urge the other
powers to follow Germany's ex-
ample.

expressed his satisfaction, after the in

ministration not to summon Congress

bellious MOB that does not constitute
a reason for making war on the govern

Chinese government, according 10 all

LONDON, July 1S.-A dispatch
from Canton, received mere to-day
gives some additional facts relative to

Hung Chang told the foreign consuls
he. as Doyen of the viceroys, had in
duoed all the other viceroys, except
two, to frame, as reported in the Daily
Telegraphs Canton dispatch. of July 16.

ity of five points, as follows:
First-Protection OF foreigners in
the empire, whether war breaks out or
not, in order to preserve Chinas pres
tage as civilized state.
Second-The rescue of foreign minis
tiers still living, as negotiations would

ments of those saved might use their
influence in favor of China

German emperor for the murder of
Baron Won ketteler, as well as pro-
posal for the mediation of other pow
ers and written assurance of China
good intentions, to be given TO the
United States and France.
Fourth-Full compensation for all
losses of lives and property of foreign
ers.
Fifth-orders to be given to the mil
itary and civil authorities of Chilli to
punish robbers and marauding troops.
Iii Hung Chang added, in his inter-
view with the foreign consuls that in
the event that the legations were saw
ed the United States. Great Britain
and France had promised 10 recognize
his good will as far as possible and
he expects similar attitude by the
other powers.
