BRITAIN WAITING FOR A MESSAGE FROM
SIR CLAUDE MACDONALD


London. July 23.-In the House Of Commons
to-day the Parliamentary Secretary for the For
eign Office, William St John Brodrick. com
municated certain statements Of the Chinese au-
thorities with regard TO the safety of the lega-
lions at Picking, and said the Chinese Ministe r
declared them to be unharmed. Mr. Brodrfck
read the text Of the Imperial edict OF july IS
Commenting on Minister Conger's dispatch to
the Department Of State Of he United States
Mr. Brodrick said that, though the dispatch was
OF the same date as the edict's assurance of
safety, the latter not borne out by Mr.
Conger. -er
Consul Warren had telegraphed to the Gov
ernor Of Shan-Tung TO know how a message
from Picking reached him in two days and WHY
there was no message from the British Minister
Sir Claude NJ Macdonald. The Governor had
replied that the United States Minister'S mes
sage was sent by the Tsung-n-Yamen by a
messenger travelling six hundred lis day
Il assure you" the Governor of Shan-Tung had
added, there is no Geographic communication
I cannot explain why Macdonald has not tele-
graphed. but / beg you not to be anxious about
the Ministers. for they and the others are all
living and unframed. OF this 1 have already
had several reliable messages" Mr. Brodrlck
continued:
Seeing that over month has elapsed since
any communication reached the Government
from the British Legation ana that the Tsung-
h-Hamen is communicating by messenger with
various Chinese authorities. Her Matesty's Gov
eminent feel they cannot give credence TO any
statement or DEGREES attributed TO the Emperor
or Chinese Government unless they are fortified
by letters signed and dated by Sir Claude Mac
donald or other British official or by some teIe-
gram IN our cipher.

ANOTHER TEST MESSAGE TO CoNGER
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS STILL MORE
HOPEFUL FOR SAFETY OF MINISTERS.

HOPEFUL FOR SAFETY OF MINISTERS.
Washington, July administration officials
are more hopeful over the situation in China as
result OF the dispatches which have been re-
ceived In the last few days, and more particu-
larly the European advices of tonight, assert
ing that the Ministers are safe. If answer
is received to the second dispatch which has
been sent through the Chinese Minister here to
Mr.. Conger, and that answer should bear in
ternal evidence of genuineness, the situation
will be materially improved and the Government,
with the additional information which Mr.. Cen
ger may transmit, will be able to move intelli-
gently toward the rescue of the foreigners. It
seems probable from the Brussels dispatch that
the note Of Mr. Hay to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States abroad, direct
ing them to urge the Governments to which
they are accredited the opening of communica-
ton with Picking, is bearing fruit. and the Of
ficials hope that united action by the Powers
this matter may be taken.
DR.. Hill, the First Assistant Secretary of State,
who is Acting Secretary in the absence of Mr.
Hay, said tonight there were no fresh develop
ments in the situation, nor had any additional
information other than that made public to-day
been received here. He expressed his satisfac-
ton the reiterated statements coming from
abroad that the foreigners in Picking were still
alive
Mr.. WI, the Chinese Minister declined to say
tonight whether the reply to the request for
mediation was satisfactory to him or would be
to his Government, nor would he indicate in any
way what its nature was The Minister expects
to have the document ready for transmission
early tomorrow
Mr.. WI expressed his satisfaction over the
news Of tonight, asserting that the Ministers in
Picking safe. and in connection with the
dispatches from London recalled that, according
to one Of the Imperial DEGREES, the Chinese Gov
eminent had decided a measure of precaution
to request them 20 retire temporarily to Tien-
Tsin After the murder of Baron Won KetteIer.
however, this project abandoned.
1t said to-day that Minister WI sent an
other cipher cable dispatch to Minister Conger.
