COnger Asked for Declaration
Of War Against China.
BACKED UP BY GEN. CHAFFEt.
Nevertheless the President Is Optimistic and
Thinks Trouble Cau Be Settled With
gut Resort to Force.

Washington, Aug. 24-It is now well
known that the United States govern
ment has ignored the statements and
recommendations of its representatives
in China. and there will be no declaration
OF war against China. unless the impe-
rial troops attack the allied forces.
This decision was reached at the con-
ference at the White House.
Wednesdays message was received
from Minister Conger. forcibly indicting
the Chinese governments in the attacks
on the ministers and calling for a dec
laration OF war against the empire as
"A just retribution for the wrongs he
and the Americans had to suffer at the
hands of the imperial government.
His message was so radical that be-
fore acting on It's contents. Gen. Chat
fee was cabled to report fully on the
situation. Before the message had time
10 reach him. Secretary Root received
a message from the general in which
he practically said what Minister Con-
ger had said, and made the same recon-
mendation. and added the situation was
such that he would need large rein
forcements.
Notwithstanding the messages from
Minister conger and Gen. chaffee. II was
decided IL possible to avoid declaration
of war.
The president believes that the
trouble can be settled without resorting
TO active war. and he thinks that II It
can. the financial interests of the coun-
try should not be disturbed by actual
hostlities. .
lie is of the opinion that China will
soon lay down its arms against the for
eign troops and that she will then SUBJ
NIT acceptable terms for peace negottl-
tions.
Notwithstanding this optimistic feel
ing OF the administration. the practical
thinkers in Washington see dangerous
possibilities that the worst is far from
being over.
No matter what the future has In store,
It is certain that the foreign forces will
occupy the territory they now hold unYl

All the dispatches point to the fact
that, when the last message received

their governments.

VISIT CALIFORNIA.
It is a Mighty Wonderland-A Grand
Natural Park and Playground.

California is a region of wonders.
From the time one enter the state until
he leaves it he will find something to
marvel at, something to learn, something
to enjoy.
The flora presents a field of inexhaust-
ible interest, from the mammoth sequel
as, eighty feet in circumference and four
hundred feet high, down to the beautiful
rOse-throated eunanans.
The field of minerals is likewise rich
and of wondrous extent. Its mining in
dustry has been prominent before the
world for half a century.
On the sea beach all forms of ocean
life may be studied; beautiful and deli
cate algae, and shells in infinite variety,
priced for both beauty and worth, are to
be had for the gathering.
1t is the sightseer's paradise. What
country on earth can surpass the
scenic splendors of Yosemite, the Big
Trees, Lake Tahoe, Mt, Shasta, the Gey-
sers, Mt. Hamilton, Mt. Lowe? These
are only the more famous features, but
there are hundreds more of less note al
most as interesting, all of which al be
visited comfortably. and the experience
is worth the cost many times over.
Six months or a year spent in Cali
fornia sightseeing will give more
health, more enjoyment, and bring
one nearer the great heart of nature
thai the same amount of time spent
in any other part of the world.
