result.
A Special Commissioner.
Washington, July 2o.-The cabinet
meeting Thursday developed nothing
of Importance regarding the situation
in China beyond decision to send w.
w. Rockhill, formerly secretary of the
legation at Picking and assistant Sec
rotary of state, and now chief of the
bureau of American republics, to
China to investigate the situation and
report to the authorities here. Mr..
Rockhill will go as a special COM

the responsibility of the Chinese gov
eminent, if any, for the existing dis
turbances and to otherwise furnish
the administration with the informa-
ton upon which the case of the United

having been secretary of the American
legation in Peking for several years.
He speaks and writes Chinese fuently.
The administration expects authentic
