London. Sept l2-430 A. Mo news
has been received that the Pao Ting Flu

Shanghai correspondents confirm this
assertion Of Dr. Morrison, the Pekin cor

of the opinions beginning to be expressed
in London papers TO the effect that, in

NOT YET READY.
United States Will Not Treat
With tarI Ii.
no Desire to Be First to Withdraw
Troops from Pekin.
viii Await Acti3n oi the European Powers
in the Matter.

Washington Sept. 11.-From the
formal statement given out, today, it
appears that the state department is
net ready 70 begin direct negotiations
with Iii Hung Chang. 1t does not
question his credentials as a pleni-
pOteatiary. but simply leaves the mat
ter in allegiance. Probably because
all Of the powers have not yet re-
turned their responses to the Russian
note and it is desired to avoid making
the United States the first among the
powers to abandon the hope Of harmon
ious action ana strike for itself toward
the settlement directly with China.
Also it may be deemed well to wait
70 hear from Mr.. Conger. who. several
days ago, was invited 10 express his
opinion about leaving Pekin.
Minister Wa was twice at the state
department. today. It was understood
that his first call was in part, at least.
to secure the transportation for Ii
Hung Chang from Shanghai to Taku
on United States vessel His later
call was TO receive the answer Of the
department to that application, as well
as T. the communication respecting Lii
Hung Changes functions.
The answer returned by the state de-
partment to the letter Of communica-
ton apparently made it unnecessary at
this time to pursue inquiry as to the
ship; if Ii may not enter into negotia-
tions at present there is no occasion
to transport him TO Taku.
The state department. this after
noon. issued the following:
The following communication was
handed TO Acting Secretary of State
Hill. on Sept. TO- by Chinese minister:
Cablegram from Earl Ii Hung Chang.
dated the eth September 1900, trans
mitted by the Chinese minister at st.

Iii Hung Chang. envoy plenipoten-
tiary, is hereby vested with full dis
cretionary powers, and he shall
promptly deal with whatever questions
may require attention. From this dis
tance we Will not control his actions.
Let this edict be forwarded with extra
expedition at the rate of 600 Ii per
day Uo Earl Lii for his information
and guidance Respect this"
10 the above communication Acting
Secretary Of state Hill has handed MI.
WI the following reply:
The United States does not feel
called upon to express any opinion at
this time as to the sufficiency of Ii
Hung Chang's authority. but hopes it
Will transpire that his credentials are
full and authoritative not only for ne
gotiation to enable him. without further
delay to give assurance that the life
and property Of Americans will hence
forth be respected throughout the
