Washington-, Dee. 10.—No chani the Chinese situation has been re] to the state department. The gram was really curions and can be ascribed to some sort of error in tele graphic transmission, in translatioi retranslation of messages into clphi to an absolute misunderstanding on part of the recipients of some of latest dispatches exchanged between,, king and the foreign cajltalsaud Wo.- ington. Now, it seems, according to the hitfest view, that the United States govujn rnent, far from seeking to indnee the British government and the others In terested to accept the term "irrevotja- ble” as defining the purposes of tho powers in dealing with China actually intended to take exactly the opposito view of the matter. Through the aforesaid error, however, the British government, which also ob jected to the nse of the w >rd “irrevoca ble,” was led to believe that the United States government desired the word to be retained. After a long delay it con- seated to accept the word. This is exactly what onr government docs not want. Now tho exchanges, which are proceeding rapidly, are with a purpose on the part of onr govern ment, to get rid of the “irrevocable” term, or idea, but it begins to appedr that this program seems to bo difficult of accomplishment, for even though Great Britain, though accopting ti word against its original judgment, a] pears now disposed to allow it to stanc JUQGE DAY IN ATTENDANCE He Hears Arguments In the Porto Hlco-Plilllpptnc Cases.

Attorney General Griggs, who began tbo government's presentation yester day, consumed practically the entire day. leaving tbe close to Cbarles H.
