A WAITING GAME
Status Of Chinese Negotiations
as Far as the United States
Is Concerned. 4
Powers Indulging in Rapid Elk.

No Important Developments Are
Expected Within the Next
Day or Two.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-The status OF
the Chinese negotiations is still a wait.
ing one as far as the United States is
concerned. The powers are INDUCING
in rapid exchange of views by tele.
graph and cable respecting the Russian.
American propositions. As the AmeYi.
can note was designed to call out a
straight expression of policy from the
various powers respecting the proposed
withdrawal from Picking, it is under.
stood that it's effect has been to bring
about these consultations with the view
of gaining strength by combined action
in their responses. Important develop.
ments are not expected within the next
day or two, at least that period OF time
being regarded as necessary in order
that the various elements may merge.
Meanwhile, it is declared positively by
the state department that there will be
no further authorized publications OF
any of the notes now in process of ex.
change until complete record has been
reached, or at least until the subject
under consideration has been finally
disposed Of. This attitude has been
assumed because free discussions in the
press, based in some instances accord.
ing to the state department officials
upon erroneous conceptions of the
meaning of certain notes officially pub.
lished, and on misleading conjecture
as to the nature Of other notes unpub-
ished, threatens to "a, =
Retard the Developments -
of the negotiations. The question OF
Ii Hung Chang's credentials is said &c
be ancient history. It is pointed on,
that all the governments involved in
the Chinese question are unit as to
their official declaration % to their
willingness TO negotiate with the Chi.
nese government AZ soon as some re.
sponsible representative of that gov.
ernment can be found. When such d
government 10 installed it can itself
dispose of the question Of Lii Hung
Changes credentials and it is said to be
idle to raise objections now to their
sufficiency in advance Of any meeting
Of plenipotentiaries The other matter,
relative to Ii Hung Changes threatened
detention by the foreign admirals, also
has lost significance and point The
state department, which never doubted
that Ii Hung Chang was at Shanghai,
is confirmed in this belief by a press
dispatch Of apparent authenticity pub
ished during the morning. It is not
believed that Earl Ii will 60 tb Taku
or Ten Tsin, where the foreign ad.
mirals may be, if there is the least
danger in his opinion Of interference on
their part with his personal liberty.

John Hickman had narrow escape
from serious If not fatal injury on
Thursday last. He had purchased a
new breech loading shot gun of one of
the most reliable and popular makes,
and was out at Osakis testing it with
clay pigeons, preparatory to taking
the field with it at the opening of the
season. He was using cartridges
which he purchased year ago. The
gun exploded with terrific violence,
but did not burst-it was strained and
blown apart but, the barrels did not
break. One part of the breech was
blown SO close to his face that it
skinned bis nose. 1t was close call.
He attributes the accident to the
cartridges, which he believes had
undergone some chemical action.

Some Democrats who, in their anxi-
ETY. to say something against the adj
ministra alton, have endeavored to crit
icise the action of the president in
sending troops to rescue the American
minister end the American citizens
imprisoned in the Chinese capital as
imperialism" But such utterances
have proven SO unpopular that nearly
every man thst has said anything on
that line has had to explain. One of
the most recent explanations of that
kind came from L. w. Habercrom'
who evidently talked too much at the
recent Indianapolis gathering. When
he got back to Washington Habercrom,
had to explain, and attempted to mod
ify his statement. The modification
amounted to about this: 1T was right
to send troops to the rescue of the
American citizens, but it was wrong
