favor Of Chinese merchants. once gained was
not easily lost Tho United States had always
treated the Chinese courtcously at least. China
has no old scores against the people OF the

MINISTER CONGER INSTRUCTED.
Practical Repetition Of the General Instruc'
uons Sent TO Him Last Week.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2? ?-Instructions have
been sent TO Minister Conger by Secretary
Hay, In the name Of the President. 10 avoid
making conditions for n settlement OF the
Chinese troubles which the Chinese Govern
ment would find it impossible to fulfil These
Instructions which are supposedly the out
come Of q conference between the President
and Mr. Hay this afternoon, are practically
a repetition OF the general directions sent TO
Mr. COnger last week, giving him full authority
to decide. without further reference to Wash
ington whether the conditions suggested
by the representatives Of the Powers were
adequate or such that the imperial authorities
could carry out. The idea was impressed
on Minister Conger that while desirous that
the Chinese Government should punish the
guilty and make satisfactory reparauon Tor
the injuries and insults to foreigners, the L nted
States were anxious 10 limit the programme
Of reprisals TO such things as the Chinese could
accomplish. the Administration realizing that
the imposition Of impossible conditions would
probably result in a renewal Of hostiiities ard
International complications that could not
be adjusted without the shedding ~ blood
The repetition Of these instructions with
tcrhaps n little added emphasis was a natural
result Of the despatch received ircnl Mr Conger
yesterday. In which he said that the punish
