GOODNON D|SCR[D|IS II.
Our Trusted Consul General at
Shanghai Has No Faith in the
Couger Dispatch.
HE SAYS IT LACKS eEMUlnEnEss,
European Governments Not Disposed to
Move tho Relief Expedition ON the Evil
deoce Furnished blythe Conger Message
All tho Powers Adopting Secretary
Hays Methods to Get News TO Legations.

Washington, July 24.-The state de
partment has received a number OF
dispatches from foreign governments
relating to the Conger dispatch and
also from our officials in China, in
GLIDING Consul General Goodnow
Without exception they dfscredit the
accuracy of the dispatch and advance
various theories to show its lack OF
genuineness. The entire burden OF
the answers indicate disposition not
to move the relief expedition on the
evidence furnished by the Conger dis
patch. Notwithstanding these mes
sages Secretary Hay personally con-
tinues to credit the Conger dispatch,
although he says sthat there is a
possibility of deception.
Europe Adopts Secretary Hays Tactics.
London, July although there are
indications that hardened pessimism
is beginning to melt under the warm
shower of Chinese assurances, so that
it is now admitted that perhaps not
all the foreign ministers at Pekin
have been killed, still incredulity re-
mains the dominant note of European
comment. No one seems able to
reconcile the assurances of the inn
perial edict with Minister Conger's
statement in his alleged message to
Secretary Hay that he was in hourly
expectation of death by massacre,
though both documents purport to
have been sent off from Pekin on the
same date. 1t is confidently antici-
pated, however; that the mystery will
soon be solved, as all the govern
ments, following the lead of the
United States secretary of state, Col.
Hay, have taken steps to test the
sincerity of Chinese officialdom by
insisting upon free communication
with the ministers.
Wants United States to Mediate.
Canton, o., July 24.-Kwang Su,
the young emperor of China, has ap-
pealed to President Mckinley to medi-
ate with the powers to bring about
restoration of peace in China and a re-
course. The request is similar to
that sent to the French government,
but the emperor does not suggest
Joint action. No reply has yet been
made to Kwang Su's request, but it
can be said that the administration
stands ready to use its good offices to
bring about a speedy settlement OF
the trouble in China.
At Variance with Conger's Message.
Washington, July 24.-The state de-
partment has received dispatch from
Mr.. Goodnow, consul general at
Shanghai, saying that Prince Tuan
wires that an officer of the Tsung Lii
yamen saw all the ministers on the
18th; that none were injured and that
no attack was at that time being
made. It is to q certain extent at
variance with the dispatch of Mr.. Con-
ger of that date, describing the lega-
fion as being under fire at that time.
Chinese Edsct Published.
Washington. July 24-The state de-
partment Monday gave out the i'm
pcrial edict of the Chinese govern
ment, the substance of which had
been previously known, declaring
that foreigners were safe on the nth
inst.
