Paris, Sept. 2.-The Chinese situation,
as viewed in Paris, has assumed brighter
aspect. The practical unanimity of the
United States, Russia, France and Japan
in the desire TO maintain the inegrity OF
the empire is regarded as disposing ol
any question OF partition. Englands pr
sition is undoubtedly N strongly favorar
bic TO the foregoing policy as that Of any
power mentioned, but it is more pleasing
to France that bonds OF accord should b
sworn between the United States, Francs
and Russia and that these nations should
appear to he the controlling influence to-
ward peace. Americas proposition TO &C
eept Ii Hung Chang As go-betweeu in the
negotiations is well received, although It
is still desired that he produce tangible
evidence that he is acting for the central
power. In fact, France is ready TO treat
with any plenipotentiary able TO furnish
proper credentials. Russia's proposal to
withdraw the troops from Pekin coincides
with the feeling entertained in Paris in
favor Of a eoneiliatory policy.
The acceptance Of these two proPoa-
tions by all the powers is considered an
important step toward satisfactory 10

COnKer Heard From.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Minister Conger
has been heard from again, his last ad.
vice being dated at Pckin on August 80.
Preceding dispatches have occupied a
week in their transmission from Pekin,
according to the estimate OF the state
department, SO that Mr.. Conger's message
marks distinct betterment Of the means
OF communication. Besides, it includes
the date of dispatch, something the de-
partment has been trying to have done
for many weeks. The supposition is that
this particular message came down from
Pekin to Tientsin by courier and was put
on the wires either at that point or ut
Taku. The state department decided to
make no statement as to the contents oI
the message beyond the simple one that
MIR. Congers communication did not mark
any material change in the situation in
pekin,

London, Sept. 5.-lhe absence OF news
regarding the actual situation of affairs
ut Pekin continues as complete as the
lack of authentic information regarding
the ultimate attitude of the powers
toward the proposals now before the con-
cert.
Shanghai reports that an imperial edict
issued at Tain Yuan Flu appoints Ii Hung
Chang, Yung Lu, Hsu Tung tutor Of the
heir apparently, and Prince Ching COM
missioners to negotiate peace.
Four German warships arrived at Woo
Sung September 3. The unmistakable con-
demnaton Of the proposal to Immediately
withdraw from Pekin, which is voiced
from all the foreign colonies in the far
east, is taken in some quarters as fore
cast of the opinion which may be expected
from the ministers when their views are
obtainable. As already suggested, the
Russian proposals are capable of modif-
cation, and it is thought in well informed
circles that Lord Salisbury is striving to
conform them more closely TO the terms
first formulated by the government at
Washington.
According to special dispatch from
ST. Petersburg, dealing with the question
OF Manchuria the Russian officials repudi-
ate any intention to permanently occupy
OF annex Manchuria. The dispatch adds
that Russia will claim no territorial con
cessions, provided the other powers re-
frain from 50 doing, and expresses the
hope that the question of indemnities can
be settled by the cooperation of the allied

responsible only to the Pope.
It was explained that it is the uni
versaI canon law of the church of Rome
that ecclesiastical matters shall be
handled only by ecclesiastical tribunes.
In Catholic countries 1t is a custom
which in no instance is transcribed
that even in the case of disputes be-
tween laymen Of other denOmina lions
and priests Of the Catholic church the
differences shall be settled by the eccle-
siastical courts. It Is also provided that
in cases Of dispute between members Of
the Catholic church in Protestant coun-
tries the ecclesiastical tribunals shall
be applied to. 1t is mainly for the set
tIement of such differences that the
apostolic delegation is established in

It is supposed that Mgr. Chapelle
