DR.. RlIEY IS MORE CONSERVATIVE.

cidedly Satisfactory, still Her Ex-
treme Weakness NIny Pre-

Washington, June 19.-Drs. john
ston and Rixey held a consultation at
the white house Tuesday forenoon, at
the conclusion of which DR.. Johnston
pronounced Mrs. Mckinley out of dan
ger and convalescing. He said there
may, of course, be recurrence OF her
trouble, but for the present the danger
is past. DIR. Johnston said that the
blood infection had disappeared entire
ly. 1t is expected that President and
Mrs. Mckinley will be able to leave
for Canton by July 1.
DR.. Rixey, although evidently en-
couraged by the improvement in Mrs.
McKinley's condition, was somewhat
more conservative in his statement
than DR.. Johnston. He thought 1t
scarcely safe to say that she was en-
tirely out of danger, as her extreme
weakness might precipitate relapse,
but her condition was quite satisfac-
tory, her improvement being steady
and seemingly certain of continuance
DR.. Rixey, after his evening visit
on leaving the white house, at 1890

tinues to improve, She is sitting VI

KEEP CHINESE TROOPS OUT.
Foreign Ministers Mt Picking Refuse
to Grant Permission for Return
of 5000 Soldiers.

Picking, June 19.-The foreign min
listers have declined to assent to the
request to allow 5000 Chinese soldiers
to come to Picking now. They con-
slider that it would be inadvisable to
permit such step to be taken be-
fore the latter part of August. by
which time, the international troops,
with the exception of the legation
guards, will have left the city.
The ministers also declined to per-
nit international troops to guard
the forbidden city until the Chinese
soldiers shall arrive.
London, June ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Paris declares that
under the terms of a secret convention
with China, France will be able to pro-
tect the proposed new railway from
Tonauin into Yun-Nan with French
troops exactly as Russia does in Nam
churia, and that France intends to
exercise this right, although the in
tention to do so may now be denied.
This policy is an outcome of the recent
visit to St. Petersburg of NJ. Del Case,
the French minister of foreign affairs.

CABINET MEETS.

Number of Important
Topics.

Washington, June 19.-The cabinet
meeting Tuesday was without i'm
portant feature. There was desultory
discussion of the Chinese settlements,
the situation in the Philippines, Cuba
and Porto Rico, but nothing of mo-
ment developed and no action was de-
cided upon: The president is prepared
to issue his proclamation declaring
the abolition of duties between the
United States and Porto Rico II the
insular legislature at the eXtraor-
binary session called for July pre-
sents facts to him to sustain the claim
that the revenues under the Hollander
tax law make the island self-sustain-
ing. The cabinet believe that the Chi
nese settlement is close at hand. In
talking of this settlement, Secretary
Hay suggested that the amounts vol
UNFAIRLY paid the American mission
aries by Chinese, provinces should be
deducted from our aggregate claim
of $25,OOo,oO0. The general sentiment
of the cabinet seemed to favor this
course, but no action was taken. Sec

sion of the courts in the suit to enjoin
him from proceeding with the opening
of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache
reservation in Oklahoma probably
would be rendered in few days. I'm
til the court acts nothing further will
be done.
Secretary Root laid before the cab

lated mainly to the progress that has
been made in the matters of munich
