WARRINGTON. Aug 22.-After a
long conference at the White House
today. The reply Of the United States
10 the application Of II Hung Chang
for the appointment Of peace commits

the reply was sent 10 the Chinese min
lister. Mr. WI. 10 be forwarded to Earl
II.
The state department made the def
mite announcement that the reply had
been conveyed TO Mr.. WI. but added
10 It's official utteRnee that the cor
respondence would not be made public
until tomorrow.
A copy OF the reply was sent TO the
other governments represented IN Chi
ma. The American reply Is chiefly
characterized by It's Arm tone and It's
brevity, It's keynote IL the presidents
attitude as laid down In the American
note. Of July % while the document
IL open to the construction OF being
rejection Of II Hung Chang's prop
osition Tor immediate negotiations. yet
It is stated by those who have read
the answer with care and have had
part In It's preparation that rejection
IL probably too strong q term TO ap-
ply 10 It.
The United States places itself In a
position OF being ready at the proper
time 20 take up peace negotiations, but
in the present unsettled condition Of
affairs in the empire lack Of knowledge
as TO who are the responsible rulers
and what constitutes the actual CHI
nese government II is made clear that
the time has not arrived for pursu-
ing the negotiations proposed. II Is
stated. however. that the reply Is a
step in the direction OF opening nego-
tlatlons.
The NEST important development Of
he day. as to actual conditions in
pekln. came late ir the afternoon,
when the state department received
dispatch from Minister Conger. dat
ed Pekln only three days ago.
Conger's message was particularly
welcome 10 the officials in showing
how completely the entire city is domi-
mated by the allies. He states that II
is occupied throughout, and that II
is being dlstrlcted for police super
vision This last measure shows the
thoroughness with which the allies are
applying civil methods to the Chinese
capital,
Minister Conger makes no mention
Of his desire to come home, and Il Is
stated officially that this government
has made no suggestion that he return
70 this country.
Almost as important as the Pekln
news was the statement that the Box
ers are again concentrating around
Tien Tsin, and that last Sunday morn
ing the Sixth cavalry with about 400
English and Japanese troops had a
lively brush with Boxers eight miles
outside Of Tien Tsin, when about one
hundred Chinese were killed and Ave
Americans wounded.
The most important dispatch OF the
day was not made public by, the war
department but was the subject Of
