Dental party a very great ovation.

waved handkerchiefs and umbrellas,
and cheers for the president and the

tions began furnishing the fine menu
TO almost the same number Of diners.

the sole arbiter, and as he has re-

will fall into line with Germany
though he may suggest slight modif-

Moreover, it is believed that the Ger

opinions of the powers might be
brought to change their views in the

and il seems only just 20 China that
she should be afforded, in the first in
stance, an opportunity TO do this and
thus rehabilitate herself before the
world. Believing thus, and without
abating in any wise its deliberate pur-
pose to exact the fullest accountable
ty from the responsible authors OF the
wrong we have suffered in China, the
government of the United States is not
disposed, as a preliminary condition
TO entering into diplomatic negotia-

TO join in a demand that said govern
ment ( surrender TO the powers such
persons as, according 10 the determi-
nation of the powers themselves, may
be held to be the first and real per
petrators of those wrongs. On the
other hand, this government is dis
posed TO hold that the punishment OF
the high responsible authors OF these
wrongs, not only in Pekin, but through
out China, is essentially a condition
to be embraced and provided for in
the negotiations for a final settlement.
1t is the purpose of this government,
at the earliest practicable moment,
name its plenipotentiaries for nego-
tiating a settlement with China, and in
the meantime to authorize its minister
in Pekin to enter forthwith into con-
ferenceS with the duly authorized rep
resentatives of the Chinese govern
ment With a view ito bringing about
a preliminary agreement whereby the
full exercise of the imperial power for
the preservation of order and the pro-
