then inquired whether If free communi-

and their governments it could be ar
ranged that the powers should not adj

To this inquiry the following reply was
sent on Aug. l:
"'Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai:
"I do not think it eXpedient to sub
mit the proposition of Earl Ii to the 9th,
or powers. Free communication with OH
representatives in Pcking is demanded as
a matter Of absolute right and not as n
favor. Since the Chinese government ad.
mits that it possesses the power to give
communication. it puts itself in an un'
friendly attitude by denying it. No nego
tiations seem advisable until the Chinese
government shall have put the diplomatic
representatives of the powers in full
and free communication with their re
spective governments and removed al
danger to their lives and liberty, We
would urge Earl Ii earnestly to advise
