NO IMMEDIATE RESPONSE PROBABLE.
The President Must be COnsukteN,

Chings and Lii Hung Changes Gre
dentiaIs. with other COnsidera-
tfons. VIII Cause Delay.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The desire
of China to actually begin the negot1-
atoms for peace was evidenced in a
dispatch from Prince Ching, delivered
by Minister WI, to the state depart
ulent. The dispatch was dated at Pc
kin, September s, and in it Prince
Ching states he has been clothed with
full authority, along with Ii Hung
Chang. to negotiate for peace. he
expressed a desire to proceed in h
matter, and asks Minister WI to SUBJ
NIT a request to the secretary OF
state to send instructions to Minister
Conger to begin the negotiations at
once.
No Immediate Response.
1t is probable that no immediate
response to the request for instruc-
tions to Minister Conger can be given,
as Prince Ching's request will have 20
be laid before the president and suf-
ficient time given to consider the
question of his credentials, as well as
the desirability of proceeding at once.
Moreover, it is likely that Minister
Conger's Judgment as to when the ne
gotiations should open will govern
to a considerable extent. Whether
Prince Ching's request has been made
to other powers as well as to the
United States is not known here, u
in view of the desire to have Mr.. Con-
ger proceed at once, 1T is probabie
that the Chinese officials are ready to
negotiate with the powers individual
" or with them as a whole. through
the medium of a commission.
Names Suggested.
Among the names being mentioned,
unofficially, as available in case a com
mission is determined upon to carry
forward the negotiations. are Presl-
dent Schureman of Cornell universe
