GERMANY'S NEW CHANCNILOR.

Berlin, October 1S.-The retirement of
Prince Hohenlohe is, naturally the prin-
cipal theme of discussion here. The
Agrarian and Liberal press says the
chancellorship has practically long been
vacant. The press generally adopts an
expeotant attitude, and there is much
curiosity as to Count Won Buelow's S
policy in respect to the Prusslan diet and
the imperious demands OF the Junker
squirearchy. The general feeling is that
a strong, young statesman becomes the
responsible chief in command of the state
and empire.

CHINESE APPEAL
is NOT HEEDED

Washington, Aug. 16.-At the close
of a day of intense anxiety the depart
ment of state tonight made public the
latest correspondence between the
United States government and China,
constituting not only a remarkable Sc
ries of state papers, but at the same
time dispelling all doubt and uncertain
ty as to the American policy in the
present critical juncture.
The urgent, almost pathetic appeal of
Ii Hung Chang, submitted early in
the day. that the victorious march of
the allies stop at Tung Chow, and that
the military commanders in the field
be instructed to arrange an armistice
at that point, was met with a response
that General Chaffee already has been
given complete instructions empower
ing him to act In concert with other
commanders for the delivery of the
ministers and persons under their pro-
lection to the relief column, not at
Tsung Chow, as had been suggested,
but at the imperial city Of Pekin.
Furthermore, II was known to China
that General Chaffee's instructions left
free rein as to whether he should insist
upon entering Pekin and going to tho
legations, or should receive the deliv-
cry of the legationers at the gate Of

The conclusions OF the government
were announced after an extended

an official statement as follows:
