WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-Minister
COnger has been advised by the state
department OF the substance Of the re-
plies made by this government last
Friday 10 the governments Of Germany,
Russia and China respecting China,
which clearly Indicate TO him the gem
eral nature OF the instructions he is to
receive.
Moreover. by this time he is informed
Of the orders issued to General Chaffee
to reduce his force 10 a legation guard.
The note to China specifically pointed
out the lines on which this government
will issue its Instructions TO its min
ister. The document Is In course Of
final approval. Acting Secretary Hill
having completed a draft OF II some
days ago and forwarded It to the presi-
dent.
1t was the belief OF the state depart
ment late this afternoon that the ac-
tual transmission IF instructions would
be carried out very soon. probably
within the next twelve hours.
1t is said that the text of the in
structions viii not be given publicity
at present for diplomatic reasons, but
there is no concsalment OF the general
scope OF the document. which Is on
the lines laid down in the three notes
In this connection 1t is said at the
state department that COnger will put
, these negotiations in motion without
any purpose of acting for any govern
ment other than the United States;
also the government steadily keeps in
mind that the United States Is but one
Of several nations mutually interested
In obtaining a common end and il is
hoped that the effect Of Conger's max
ing a beginning towards negotiations
may be TO induce the other powers to
follow.
1t is believed that the state depart
ment already mas taken steps through
Minister WI to impress upon the Chi
nese government the undesirability of
the appointment Of Prince Tuan as
grand secretary and the painful i'm
preston this appointment has created
throughout this country.

FRENCH RUMORs.

PARIS. Sept. Z7.-The French consul
at Shanghai cables Under date OF Sep
tember p. that Tung Fuh Sian has Just
been appointed general Of the Western
and Northern armies. The con-
sui adds that according to Chinese In
formation. the ylceroys and governors
have received an imperial secret de-
cree lnstructi1g hem 10 fight the for
eigners and destroy them.
The determination Of the United
States 70 withdraw her troops from
China. while at the same time increas-
ing the strength Of her feet in Chinese
waters. Is rather dlscOncerting to the
powers. But the Interpretation put
upon II IN official circles Is that the
United States Is resolved to protect
the polIey Of the open door to the
extremity. and Is therefore preparing
feet Cor the purpose Of maintaining
that policy by show Of force.
The publication Of an alleged Rus
sian edlct. announcing the annexation
Of Nanchuria, has caused a decidedly
uneasy feeling. but no one seen here
was able TO definitely affirm or deny
It's authenticity. In discussing this
point. a foreign Office official expressed
emphatlcally a lesire that the United
States should know that France has
no sympathy with any movement to
wards the partition OF China, and that
she viii lend all her influence towards
averting what she considers would be
a mistake and a wrong.
A representative Of the Associated
Press has learned that France has not
sent a formal note TO Germany. her
action being known verbally to Ger
many's charge d'affairs at a call he
made here at the. foreign office.
BOXER LEADERS IN POWER.
NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Shanghai says:
The situation in China Is now more
serious than ever before for those who
are interested n preserving the integ-
rity Of the empire. The Chinese gov-
ernment is in the power Of the Boxer
leaders who are not likely to submit to
the empress dowager a proposition un-
favorable to them. The friendly vice
roys Of the south are still loyal to the
throne and any foreign aggression in
southern China will precipitate an
armed uprising.
Already the governor Of Nganhwei
province has addressed a memorial to
the empress dOwager declaring that his
signature TO the yiceroys' agreement
with the foreign consuls in Shanghai
was forged.
There is danger that the friendly
vlceroys Will be replaced. Sheng, the
friendly taotai Of Shanghai, has been
ordered north. and that practically
means his death.
Russia Is holding all the forts and
strategical points from Taku to Pekin.
Russia's possession OF the railway
shows by the permanent arrangement
which her officers are making that she
intends to swallow the north Of China.
No one here believes that Russia will
ever move out except under overwhelm-
ing pressure from other powers.
Germany's assurance that she does
not desire territory in China. If the
latter be able TO pay an indemnity, is
misleading. Her demand for the pun

Our country is enjoying prosperity almost

For every one there is money enough to

Why should we use cheap, impure, un-
