HEARS FROM CON0ER,

State Department Receives Dispatch

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A dispatch
from Minister Conger has been re.
ceived by the state department. It was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch of
about the 9th ult., referring to the
proposed parade of troops through the
imperial palace in Picking. Like that
dispatch this is dateless as to Picking.
The contents were not made public,
but it was stated that it contained
nothing materially changing the situa-
ton. The lack of date led to deter
mination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming
to the state department from China
will have the date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received from
China referred to the state Of health Of
the troops, which generally is satisfac.

WASHINGTON, Sept. At cannot be
learned that there has been any marked
advancement of the negotiations be-
tween the powers touching the with
drawal Of the international forces from
Peking. The plain indication is that
the powers are acting upon the informa-
ton conveyed in the last note Of the
state department. and are bringing all
their influence to bear upon Russia to
induce her to change her mind as to
Withdrawing her troops. For some rea-
son the authorities here appear to feel
. growing confidence that this effort
will be successful. It is noted as fact
of great significance that the PROPOSE
ton is being advanced to have Prince
Ching return to Picking as the acting
head Of the Chinese government. The
suggestion is made that the progress Of
this wave Of reorganization while the
international troops are still in Picking,
promising as it does. speedily to provide
an actual de facto Chinese government
with which the nations may treat with
out further doubt as to it's strength,
may solve the present problem and put
the Chinese question in a fair way to
final and satisfactory settlement. Much
may depend upon the attitude of Rus.
sia in this matter, and the manner in
which she treats the Chinese notables
may prove to be test of the sincerity
of her expressed desire to deal with the
Chinese government as soon as pos
eible.
