MINISTER CONGER
Arrives Home for Rest After
His Chinese Experiences.

San Francisco, April 25.-Edwin H.

China. accompanied by his wife. daugn-
ter and Miss Pierce, arrived from
China, this afternoon, on the steamer
Nippin Maru. Owing to quarantine
regulations and the necessity of giving
his baggage, Mr.. Conger did not reac h
his hotel until O'Clock in the evening.
His arrival was awaited with consij .
cradle interest, not only on account of
his connection with events in China,
but from political standpoint. There
was a great desire to know whac pc
sition he would assume with regard to
the coming gubernatorial nomination
IN Iowa. To representative of Tie
Associated Press, Mr.. Conger, when
asked if he cared to make any express
sion OH the subject, said:
Il do not wish to make any public
deciarati ton at this time. i have not
yet had time to read the correspond
ence which has met me here. So far as
l am at present advised, / see no rea-
son TO change my position as expressed

nation II rendered me. / replied that
would accept if the nomination came to
me but that | was in no sense candi-
date. My present intention is to letlrn
10 China and finish my work"
Touching events in China, Mr.. Con-
ger turned interviewer and was par
ticularly anxious to know what had
been done by the powers in the matter
OF indemnity. He was asked for his
opinion as 10 the amount of indemnity
China could pay.
Three hundred million dollars he re-
piled, accompanying his answer by the
statement that IL would be necessary
for the government to practice econ
ony. The time of payment, too,
should extend over long term of
years.
Concerning events in China, Mr..
Conger said that there was nothing
new to be said in that direction, as
everything happened had been told
fully, together with many things that
never occurred. Tales of brutality had,
he thought, been exaggerated. OF
course there We're cases of outrage By
individual soldiers, that We're not sane
toned by officers. These We're but Incl
dents of war which found some pallia-
ton in the fact that the Chinese had
killed 10000 native Christians and 100
Europeans.
Asked in regard to his future plans.
Minister Conger said he would remain
in this city until Saturday morning,
when he would leave for his home il
