A CABLEGRAM TO CONGER
Further Instruction Necessitated by
the Chinese Proposal.
THIS PROPOSAL is UNSATISFACTORY
II is Believed Its Guarantees of Protection to
American interests in China Are Insuf-
ficient. Conger'S Instructions Not
Made PnbIic.
Made Public.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 19.-The Chinese
Government has made request upon
Secretary Hay that negotiations be-
gin tomorrow at Pekin looking to
settlement of the Chinese situation.
1t is said at the State Department that
Mr. Conger'S instructions are sufficient
III breadth to enable him to proceed
with negotiations tomorrow without
further orders from the Department.
However, as the Chinese counter pro-
posals received yesterday through Mr.
Conger appear to warrant further in
structions from the President and
Secretay Hay, Mr.. Conger was wired
today an outline of the course he is to
pursue in furtherance of the plans al
ready committed to his care. For OBJ
vious reasons the State Department
has decided not to make public the
text of these supplementary instruc-
tions. But it may be stated that our
Government does not regard the Chi
nese tender as sufficient to meet the
necessities of the case. 1t is not indi-
Gated in what respect it falls short,
the Chinese agreeing, according to
fhelr note TO express regret, admit
liability for indemnity, and yield any
thing in the way of treaties, in con-
sideration of the withdrawal of the
troops and an al'mistice. 1t is inferred
that our objection is based on a lack
of guarantees for the present safety
of American citizens and the legation
in China, as well as for the protection
of missionary and trade interests in
the future. 1t cannot be gathered that
the matter of the sufficiency of the
punishments to be meted out to the
Chinese offending officials enters into
this objection.
The alleged edict setting out the
punishment allotted to Prince Tuan
and his fellow conspirators is sur
rounded with doubt Mr. Conger has
advised the State Department that the
authenticity Of the edict is called in
question in Pekin, but Nowhere has
the State Department been able to Sc
cure any official statement as to char
acter of the edict.
The State Department has so Tar
made no answer to the Chinese pro-
posal, and, as already indicated will
return this probably through Mr.. Con-
ger.

TEXTILE CRISIS
Spreading From Germany
Over the Continent.
High Prices of Cotton and ImpossibiIity of Get
ting Equivalent Prices For Yarn Play
Havoc With Trade.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 19.--The crisis in the
German textile trade is said to be spread
ing. Over production, due to the rapid
progress of European trade in other coun-
tries is the disease held accountable for
this affliction in textile industries. United
States Consul Harris at Fibenstocll, in a
report to the State Department says that
the high price of cotton and the impossi-
bility of getting equivalent yarn prices is
playing havoc with the trade. A great
number of mills throughout the whole of
Europe are closing down on account of
shortage in this article.
The war in China has affected indus
tries generally, more particularly the
iron trade. India, for instance, had been
constructing numbers of rice mills and
had bought the machines in Germany
Since the troubles IN China arose this
encouraging progress has come to an
untimely end.
From ALASKA in the West to Silesia in
the east of the German Empire a gem
eral cutting down of working hours, and
thousands Of weavers thrown out of en-
ployment bear witness to the deplorable
state of this industry throughout the
)country. The velvet industry is the only
one of this nature which appears to be
holding its own.
