Washington, July 24.-The presi-
dent has listened to the appeal of the
Chinese government, as transmitted
through Minister WI, and has signi-
fed his willingness to mediate be-
tween the imperial government and
the powers, but only upon conditions
which first must be met by the Chi
nese government. The exact nature
of the terms proposed by the state
department can not be stated, but IL
is known, however, that the answer
Is entirely consistent with the state
ment of principles laid down by Sec
rotary Hay in his identic note TO the
powers, and, moreover, IL accepts as
truthful the Chinese statements rela-
tive to the safety of the foreign min
listers at Picking.
