Washington, August 'JJI, Thocabinot icssiou today jiractlcally openod tho consideration of tho momentous quus tlons growing out uf thu capturu of Pokln and tho war in China.

Tlio decision arrived at was to reject tlio appeal, and a reply uf this character will bo i-oiit to Min ister Wu, to bo forwarded to Li Hung Chang. The moving causo for this action is that this government is at present very much in thu dark as to whether there is any existing govern ment in China.
