CONCERT OF THE POWERS.
PROPER EQUILIBRIUM AND
PEACE OF THE WORLD NOW
ENDANGERED

(5y IcleSrapn 10 NlrSinidn-Plot.)
Washington, June Let is learned
in authoritative quarters that the ne
gotiations relative to the Chinese crisis
have led to a discussion of the larger
subject of SO adjusting and harmonic
nS the action of the several Powers in
tercsted so as to maintain complet e
equilibrium and assure The continued
peace of the world.
The French authorities have been
particularly active in urging that one
OF the first considerations OF any action
was TO see that il tended towards main
tanning the balance between the coun-
tries interested in the East, and there
is reason To believe that these repre-
sentations have had considerable in
ilucncc in Keeping any one of the sew
eral nations from putting preponder-
ating military force in China, thus
leading TO confederation by some other
Power. and ultimately to general in
tcrnational disturbance.
From the French standpoiift,= las
stated by those fully convcrsant with
French policy. the chief desire is to
maintain peace and union between the
great powers, and If it can be accom-
plished France Will consider that her
best interests, as we'll as those of the
world at large, will have been served.

(By Telegraph to VirginIan- Pilot)
Washington, June 16.-Not word
of news came to the State Depart
ment over night from Minister Conger,
who has now been cut off from COM
munication since last Tuesday. Even
the u. 5. Consuls in North China ports
are silent. Admiral Kempm has not
been heard from since yesterday. This
absence of official reports has given
rise to grave apprehensiOns here. 1t
was expected that there might be de-
lay in hearing from Mr.. ConGer but in
the case of Admiral Kempm. an early
report was looked for, and it is feared
that the officers of the foreign fleet
at Taku have been prevented from
reaching the cable station there either
by the open hostility of the Boxers
or by the sinister orders from the
Chinese Government.
Yesterday admiral Kempff was call
ed upon by direction of the President
for an explicit statement of the sit
uation and his needs. 1t was for him
to say whether he required reinforce
ments and troops. f he is cut off
from reply. then the Government must
act without waiting much longer. OF
course, in that case, it would have TO
proceed upon the theory that add
tional force. both ships and troops,
perhaps is needed.
