CHINESE TURN TO US.
To Re-estsblfsh Their Peace With the
 World

Washington. July 2S.-The president | has listened to the appeal of the Chi nese government as transmitted through Minister Wu and has signified his will lingness to mediate between the empire government and the powers. but only upon conditions which first must be met by the Chinese government The exact nature of the terms proposed by the state department cannot be stated until tomorrow
 The United States answer does not go 10 the length of the French answer to similar application in laying down 1 conditions which the Chinese govern ment could not meet even if SD dis posed. if it actually is struggling for it's own existence. It does. however. look to the immediate relief of the foreign CTS in Pel1in and. moreover. to the pro tection of all foreigners. missionaries and traders in China, and to the res tOration of order
 With this much accomplished. the state department feels that it can prop erly approach the powers with the Chi nese proposition for settlement for what has occurred. The Chinese appeal came to Secretary Hay yesterday through Minister Wu. The secretary promptly telegraphed it to the presi- dent at Canton. and after taking a full day for its consideration. the presi- dents answer came today. It was put in proper diplomatic form and copy delivered tu Minister Wu. who is to forward it to his own government. The appeal and answer will be made public here tomorrow
 The imperial edict made public today at the state department shows that the imperial government already has taken the first steps toward doing what the United States government requests as the principal condition for the eXer- else of its good offices in enjoining the vicerOys. magistrates and leading men to stop the disorders and protect for eigners. and our government will await the result of this before proceeding further

HARRISON ON THE STUMP.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 23.-Indiana republicans are much gratified over d report that has become current to the effect that eX-President Harrison will make a few speeches in this state dur ing the closing days of the campaign. perhaps in the last two weeks of Oc- tober. He will return from his summer home in the Adirondacks late in Sep tember or the first week in October. and as soon as he disposes of some personal matters that will claim his attention on his return he will make few speeches in the larger cities of the stale.
 It is said among his personal friends that he is not fully in accord with the administration in some of it's measures and especially in the legislation that placed d tariff against Porto Rico. and he also believes that congress should have legislated against trusts. which he thinks have abused their power.
 Notwithstanding these facts. he is said to regard the theories of Bryan as dangerous and to oppose them with as much earnestness as he did in 1896. He is taking a great interest in the election of W. T. Durban, the repubIi- can nominee for governor who has been one of his close friends for sev- eral years. and it is this interest. the iatter's friends say. that has induced the eX-president to consent to speak in the campaign.

'THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

Washington. -t1ly 24--The core spUndence between the president of the United States and the emperor of China was made public by the state depart ment today. In the message received July 20 the emperor asks the president to devise measures and take the initis- tive in bringing about concert of the powers for the restoration of order and peace The president in reply said that he Inferred from the message that tine -maiefactoTs who had disturbed the peace of China. murdered the minister of Germany and besieged Pekin were actually in rebellion against imperial authority. If this be the case I most government to give public assurance whether the foreign ministers are alive and If so in what conditionS to put the diplomatic representatives of the pow CTS in immediate and free communica- ton with their respective governments. and to remove all danger to their lives and liberty, to place the imperial au- thorities of China in communica ton with the relief expedition that co-oper- ation may be secured.

SUSPICIOUS OF u.

London. July 23--In private mes sage from Shanghai it is asserted that Li Hung Chang aVOws that the object of his journey is to place the regular Chinese army in line with the armed
 troops for the suppression of the Box CTS. The Times, editOrially. suggests that Li Hung Chang is playing the old game of the Sublime Porte by putting forward proposals which will appear in different degrees and ways to different powers It says President Mckinley has been asked to mediate and the re quest is facilitated by the care which has been taken in Washington not to commit the United States to any very thorough going policy

General Yung Lun is going to mobilize them to send them all under escort to lien Tsin in the hope that military op- erations will then be stopped
 QUITE ANOTHER STORY.
 The Shanghai correspondent of ;he Daily Mails. teIegraphing July 2S. says; A letter from a Chinese official in shang Tung has been received by an active functionary here, containing the following passage: At the beginning of the month the foreign missionaries made several attempts to send mes Eages out of Pekin but, thanks to the strict watch kept on the city. the bear CTS were all caught and executed. On the fourth instant. only 400 foreigners much exhaused, were left alive in Pe- kin. and one night. when the big guns were necessarily fired, it was known that all the legations and foreigners were finished, although pretending tele- grams contradicted these facts.
 BRITISH DISTRUST

Two urgent dis patches were addressed yesterday by the Chinese minister 70 the Pekin gov ernment and the administrator of tele- graphic communications strongly re- commended the restoration of tele- graph communication so as to enable

CONGRESS OF CHEMISTS.

Paris. July 23.-The fourth interna- tional congress of Applied Chemistry. which will be held here all of this week. opened today. No place or time could have been more suited for the holding of such a congress. The sugar chemists of France have become conspicuous through the sugar world by the won derful impetus that they have given to the most recondite matters connected with the sugar industry. A large part of modern progress in this industry Is attributed to these investigations.
