the inner city mentioned in Admiral
Remey's dispatch and is the residence
of the emperor and the seat OF the I'M
perial court Nobody is allowed with
in its massive walls, except by special
permission of the emperor or empress
dowager, The foreigners who have en-
tered its gates are comparatively few
in number
The Japanese legation has received
several important dispatches. One re-
ceiyed from Toxic dated Aug. l9 says:
After entry 10 Pekin was effected By
the allied troops the Japanese troops
on Aug 10 betDok themselves to ana
remained in the imperial palace. A.
body of Japanese troops was told TO
guard the palace and there they met
with obstinate resistance from Chinese
troops. Fighting is still going on.
The headquarters of the Japanese army
is in the legation and the division IS
mainly quartered in the villages out
side of Aan Ting Men.
Another telegram dated the 18th
gives the report of the Japanese consul
general at Shanghai saying Sheng
credits the report that the empress
dowager and probably the emperor al
so had left Pekin as the priyy council
crossed the Lukon bridge on the 18th
bearing the banner of the imperial
cortege. Also that Prince Ching is
still in Pekin. although Prince Tuan
has followed the empress dowager.
Want Conger to Arbitrate.
Washington, Aug. 2t-The Chinese
government, through Ii Hung Chang,
has made application to the United
States government for the appointment
of Minister Conger, or some other
American official, with authority to
open negotiations for the establish
ment Of peace, and for the fixing OF
definite terms for the settlement Of the
trouble. The application came to the
Chinese minister yesterday and was
taken by him to the state department.
Ii Hung Chang's application for the
appointment of peace commissioners
expresses willingness to conduct the
negotiations at point desired by the
powers and it is expected that this wal
be Pekin or Tien Tsin A similar APP
plication has been made by Earl Ii to
all of the powers interested. His sug-
gestion Of Minister Conger, as the
American commissioner. is based on
the idea that as Conger has been res
! cued he has now the opportunity "a
proceed to the point where negotia-
lions will be held and to conduct them
The application does not suggest any
| particular terms nor does it ask for the
withdrawal. 1t requests that the ne
gotiations shall be for the purpose OF
bringing about a cessation of hostili-
| ties
This, coming since the capture OF
Pekin, is the first showing of Chinas
complete WEAKNESS with the struggle
and her desire to make terms. The re-
! ply of the United States government
| has not yet been made known An
other important development is that
two Of the influential viceroys Of China
had made application to the powers in
GLIDING, it is believed, the United
| States, that no disrespect be shown to
| the emperor and empress dowager Of
China.
