NOVEL PROPOSITION OF CHI
NESE MINISTER

Washington, June rs The chief
development to day in the Chinese
situation was the effort of the Chinese
minister, WI Ting Fang, to secure
an armistice in the operation of
American troops until Ii Hung
Chang could reach Pekin and bring
about a cessation of the disorder.
The proposition is rather novel
one, and is based upon the repre-.
sentations of the viceroys of the
important provinces of the Yang Tse
Kiang valley that they can maintain
order without the aid of foreign
troops and that the presence of the
foreigners would act merely as gu
incentive to disorder. Minister WI
brought representations to the atten.
ton Of Secretary Hay who consulted
the president. The latter's decision
as subsequently conveyed to the
minister, was that while the assur.
ance of the viceroys for continued
quiet was fully appreciated, the
United States could not bind itself
not to send its forces to points where
disorder actually existed and where

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
of any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prosration or
heart failure, etc. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop fermentation
of andigested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only Iced few doses Of Green's
