CHINA'S PALAvER|NC
GETS SHARP RETORTS
France and the United States Sends Messages to
China Rejecting the Advances Made.
Mckinley Refuses to Talk Peace With Li-Loubet Warns
OrientalS to Harm ENJOYS at Their Peril.

Paris. Aug 12.-The tsung II yamen
forwarded through the Chinese minis
fer in Paris. Yu Kong. a message TO
the French government, complaining
Of the hardness of the foreign minis
tcrs in Pekin in replying to the offer Of
the Chinese government to conduct
their escort
The message proceeded to say that
the tsung Ii yamen declined to be re-
spOnsible for any casualties which
might follow these delays and insisted
that the European governments order
their representatives to leave Pekin.
To this communication NJ. Delcasse,
Minister of foreign affairs, sent the fol-
loWing reply:
mo order to depart from Pekin will
be given to our minister so long as
the route is unsafe.
If a casualty occurs, the RESPONSE
bility will be entirely with the Chi
nese government. It's strict duty is
to protect foreign ministers even
more than its own
If it be true that the Chinese gov
eminent has great difficulty in de-
tending them and in defending itself
against rebels, it should order its
troops to stand aside before the allied
forces. This would render free the
road from Tien Tsin to the capital and
would accomplish the work of pro-
lection, which is encountered.
THE Chinese government should
understand that the only means of
proving the sincerity of its designs
and of limiting its responsibility is
a cessation in the placing of OBJ
stacles in the way of such an arrange
ment."

Viceroy Ii Hung Chang as envoy pleni-
potentiary TO propose q cessation of
hostile demonstrations and negotiate
with the powers a copy of which was
delivered by Minister WI TO the acting
secretary of state this Sunday morn
ing at 1890 o'clock.

privy council at Pekin under date Of
the fourteenth day of the seventh moon
aug. 81, to Governor Yuan at Isl Nan.

seventeenth day of the same moon
(Aug. I'D, TO the Taotat at Shanghai,
by whom il was re-tranSmitted to Min
lister WI. who received il on the night
of the same day aug. IL.
1.-The imperial edict. as transmitted
by the privy council. is as follows:
g" In the present conflict between
Chinese and foreigners there has been
some misunderstanding on the part of
the foreign nations, and also a want of
proper management on the part of some
of the local authorities. A clash of
arms is followed by calamitous results.
and has caused a rupture of friendly
relations which will ultimately do no
good to the world.
we hereby appoint Il Hung Chang
as our envoy plenipOtentiary, with in
structiOns TO propose at once by teie-
graph to the governments of the sew
eral powers concerned for the imme-
date cessation of hostile demonstra-
tions. pending negotiations which he is

Washington. Aug. 12.-Secretary
Adee, under direction of President Nc
kinney. tonight presented to Minister
WI, for transmission to his govern
ment, the reply of the United States
to the imperial edict appointing Ii
Hung Chang envoy to negotiate with
the powers for cessation of hostiIities.
The text of the reply will not be made
puo1c before tomorrow. In effect.
however, ii is a reiteration of the de-
mands previously made by the United
StateS upon China, coupled with Wig
orous 1ntimatiOn that no negotiations
Will be entered into until the Chinese
government shall have co-ppiied with
those demands.
These demands were first made by
the president July % and subsequently
were reiterated substantially by Acting
Secretary Adee, by direction of the
president
The demands for the protection of
the minister, for free communication
between them and their respective
governments and for the restoration
of peace in China form the keynote
Of the memorandum forwarded to the
imperial government by the pcesi-
dent today
The iteration and reiteration of the
demands must, it is thought, make it
perfectly clear to the Chinese govern
ment that no negotiations will be en-
tered upon until a square-toed COM
pliance with them has been made.
Copies have been sent to the United
States representatives in Europe and
Japan, to be submitted to the govern
ments at which they are stationed, and
also to the European diplomats resi-
dent here. for their information.
