Foreign Relations of the United States, 1901, Appendix, Affairs in China, Report of William W. Rockhill, Late Commissioner to China, with Accompanying Documents

Mr. Conger to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Peking, January 1, 1901.

(Mr. Conger reports that, having accepted our demands, the Chinese Government can forthwith execute all of them except six and eleven of joint note, which will be most difficult to arrange there, and can be settled more speedily and satisfactorily in Europe or America. Asks if the other Governments can not be consulted and such conference arranged for an early date.

Refers to Mr. Rockhill’s telegram¹ of the 20th ultimo on the same subject.)
