In the case of Minister Conger,
this government is presenting the
extraordinary spectacle of keeping
man at his post, which is supposed
to carry much authority and dis
secretion and at the same time pro-
posing scheme to the powers, to
absolutely ignore him. Because
Minister Conger has views OF his
own, instead Of having adopted
those with which the Chinese Min
lister at Washington has inoculated
the Mckinley administration, a
proposition has been made by this
government to the powers interest
ed to take the negotiation for a
settlement with China out of the
hands of the foreign ministers at
Pekin, and make fresh start
through commission. The ground
for this is the alleged fear that the
present negotiations will fail be-
cause the foreign ministers at Pc
kin cannot agree.

The reception of the proposition

The reception of the proposition
advanced by the radical republi-
cans to reduce the representation
of the Southern states which have
restricted negro suffrage has been
of such general condemnation that
it has been abandoned for the pres
ent session and will not figure in
the re.apportionment bill which
will doubtless become a law in The
near future, but some OF its advo-
Gates hint their intention to try to
get the question before the long
session of the Congress.
