CHINA’S PEACE PLEA REJECTED; ORDER MUST BE RESTORED FIRST. WASHINGTON, D, C., Aug. 20—The United States have rejected the appeal of the Chinese Government, through 1.1 Hung Chang, for thie appoint- ment OT Minister Conger or some other American’ official with authority to open negotiations for the establishment of peace and for fixing definite | terms for the settlement of the present trouble. Li Hung Chang's application for the appointment of a peace commis-| sioner expresses willingness to conduct the negotiations at a point desired by the pig ind it is expected that this will be Peking or Tientsin A similar application has been made by Earl Li toall the powers inter- ested. His suggestion of Minister Conger as the American commissioner is based on the idea that, as Mr. Conger has been rescued, he has now the opportunity to proceed to the point where negotiations will be held and con- duct them. they met with obstinate resistance by the Chinese troops. “Fighting is still going on, The oy Li Hung Ghang’s appeal was submitted by Minister Wu. It calls atten- !** tion to Secretary Hay’s note of July 3, in which he construes the policy of the I" United States to be the saving of Minister Conger and other Americans in| Peking. This, he declares, has now been fully accomplished. He asks the | United States to begin negotiations, The reply will be that compliance has not yet been given to the con-| ditions imposed by the President. The view will be taken that order has not |* been restored, the Imperial authorities have not opened communication with | the allisd commanders, and the ultimate safety of the Ministers is not actually | accomplished.
