Ro,KHILL's INSTRUCTIONS.

Wishes Regarding China.

He Learns President McHfnley's
Wishes Regarding China.
Washington, Feb 2S.-Special Com
missioner Rockhill Mt Peking has been
instructed to make IL known to the for
eign ministers that the president
strongly deprecates any action that
will tend to delay or check the present
negotiations there, and especially is he
desir0us that there shall be no further
unnecessary bloodshed.
1t is probable that this instruction is
framed to stop, IL possible, the era of
wholesale slaughter which Is said to be
In contemplation In some quarters a,
Peking, beginning with the execution
of prominent Chinese in all of the
towns and communities in China
which were the scenes of trouble dur.
ing the Boxer uprising.
This policy laid down for Mr.. Rock
hill Is consistent with the instructions
heretofore furnished to Mr.. Conger. II
Is confidently believed that our com
missioner will be able to secure the
support and cooperation of a sufficient
number Of the other ministers to in
sure IL cessation of the punitive de-
mands which, II Is believed by officials
here, are not only unworthy of civiliz
ed nations, but threaten to drive the
Chinese ito desperation and thereby
cause a renewal Of armed resistance
on their part.

The Shamrock Given Three Weeks
Grace In Case Of Accidents.
London, Feb. 2S.-The reply Of the
New York Yacht club to the latest sug-
gestions from this side on the subject
Of the International yacht race has
reached the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
The answer clears up the ambiguity
In regard TO the starting rule and pre-
vides tl5at TIE time of the boat first
crcsfi.5s NJ l..ise'r i,,tar tha slagtilg gun
shall be deemed the starting time.
The New York Yacht club also gives
the Shamrock III three weeks grace in
the event of unforeseen accidents. But
the first race must not be later than
Aug. 27.
The New York Yacht club considers
the Royal Ulster Yacht clubs sugges-
ton about the measurement of the
yachts to be very good But as the
Brooklyn navy yard Is government
property, the club is not in position
to promise that the measurement shall
take place there, though it will do its
best In the matter.
Sir Thomas Upton says that he is
perfectly satisfied with the New York
Yacht clubs reply and considers that
the Royal Ulster Yacht clubs sugges-
tions have been met in d sporting spirit.
