R0CKHILL AWAITING ORDERS.
Special American Commissioner at
PeIkin Asks for Instructions.

In despatch tC the Secretary of State
received this morning. Special Commits
siorer Rockhill. at Pelzin. asks TO be def
nitelE and specifically instructed as 10 the
course he should pursue in connection
with the desire of other foreign represan-
tatIFes 10 lnflict punishment on provin-
ciaI officials alleged to have been con
cerned in the Boxer outrages.
The instructions which VIII be sent 10
MI RockhiH in response to this com
munication. it is said. viii be in line with
the course pursued by the United States
IN the previous punishment demands.
Briefly. this Government holds that the
Chinese Imperial authorities should try
the accused offenders and infict on those
| found guilty the greatest punishment pos
slbIe for those authorities to inf7ict
Government officials maintain that this
has been the position OF the President and
the Secretary of State from the beginning
OF the negotiations for peace and that
! there IS no uncertainty about their atti-
tude now In recent instructions 20 Min
lSter ConSer- Secretary Hay said that the
President hoped and expected that the
| shedding Of blood in China was at an end
Ihis referred specifically to the execu-
ton of certain Chinese diguitaries ON the
! demand Of the ministers Of the Powers at
FeNin, but it is explained that it was rot
meant TO interfere with the trial and I.lln-
| lshInent OF Chinese by the Imperial Gov
ernment, acting Independently Of the
Powers and without coercion.
The United States Government is op-
! posed 10 what was termed by an Official
| today, punishment by designation
/ This mode of administering justice is re
garded as foreign to American ideas Of
right and Justice Punishment by des-
ignation in the Chinese negotiations
means that the foreign ministers shall
name the persons to be punished and in
| sist that this one be executed and that
one imprisoned, and so on through the
/ list.
Such method is so far removed from
| the principle OF trial by jury or by com
petent and just judges that it does not
/ meet IN any way with the approval of
| the United States. Special Commissioner
| ROckhiu Will be so informed
