United States Mediation Offer Tied to Chinese Demands
President McKinley signals willingness to mediate between China and the foreign powers but only if the Chinese government first meets specified conditions. The note aligns with Secretary Hay's principles and aims for relief of foreign missions in Pekin, protection of foreigners, and restoration of order, while awaiting China's response. A Shanghai dispatch notes Pekin reports that all ministers are safe except the German minister, with plans to escort them to Tianjin to halt military actions. In Dallas, organized labor backs a streetcar strike as union leaders move to direct the protest, with the State Federation of Labor meeting and the Typographical Union fining members riding the Consolidated system.
