Ultimatum Shelters as China Crisis Deepens in Peking
Washington weighs drastic options after Conger message signaling a crisis in Peking. Officials push for strong representation to Li Hongzhang Sheng and Chinese officials, with an ultimatum seen as likely. Ministers may require an imperial escort to Tianjin if war looms.
Extra Session Likely Not Addressing Chinese Question
Washington reports indicate little chance of an extra congressional session to confront the Chinese affair. Officials say no action will occur until further information from China is received, with President McKinley not expected back before next week. The State Department sent replies to Minister Conger urging cheer and rapid relief, directing funds and effort be spent to reach the legations. An imperial edict delays relief routes to Tianjin and assigns officials to ensure safe conduct, while China grants free communication with foreign ministers including cipher messages.
