Chinese leinisfer in Toliio 1ms visited
the Jnptmcso minister of foreign affairs
and communicated to him what is de
scribed as "The first PeUiu dispatch
since the trouble broke out."
The dispatch says that tho murder of
the liennan minister and other for
eigners was due to the Tuku affair nnd
to the sending of Admiral Seymour's
expedition, and that the Chinese gov
ernment is now doing its best to pro
tect the foreigners in Pekin.

Such New of July 7 Unto liull
ctf Mute f Kclii-llion.
Washington, .Inly Hi. Such nows
as como to Washington from China was
distinctly bad. It consisted of a cable
gram to Minister Wn from Snng, tho
imperial director of posts and telegraphs
at Shanghai, and, according to tho
minister, was iu reply to nn urgent
message he himself bad sent tho day bo
fore to that official, asking him to try
to' secure some news from the Chinese
capital. This cablegram Minister Wo
regarded us of snfticieut importance to
carry in is-rson directly to Secretary
Hay, who wus waiting at his homo for
news. Tho message, as resolved from
the cipher, was as follows:
"Pekin news of July 7 says that (Jen
era! Tuuu Full Siang, iu disobedieuce of
imperial orders, was about to use guiis.
Legations uud the government will bo
in peril,"
This news was corroborative of that
contained iu a recent cablegram from
Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
although the consul general gave his
Pekin news the date of the nth, saying
that the final attack npon tho ligations
with guns was about to begin on the
7th of July: It is surmised hero that
Mr. Goodnow pot his news ftom Sheng,
who is certainly in position toseenro the
first news from Pekin.
Oflieiuls here derive some satisfaction
from the portion of the dispatch coup
ling the fate of the imperial govern
ment with that of the foreign ministers,
as it sustained them in the position they
hud hclil from the first, that fie Chinese
government is not at war with Christen
dom, but is confronting afo niidublo in
surrection. There still remains a sus
picion that while Mr. Wu is undoubt
edly acting with perfect sincerity, that
Sheng, who is represented to bo a clever
and adroit man, may knew more of tho
actual hapiienings at Pekin than ho is
willing to reveal at once. It is feared
that he is trying to prepare tho way for
the disclosure of terrible news.
Minister Wu's cablegram from Sheng,
above given, should not be taken as an
nuswer to the cipher message ho for
warded at Secretary Hay's request to
Uhiuu iu the effort to get it through to
Minister Conger; That message went
to Youaii Shih-Kai, tho governor of tho
province of Shantung. That official has
replied informally that ho hud no news
himself, bat it was assumed that ho will
take prompt steps to forward tho cipher
message- His status nt this critical
juncture was unfortunately uot beyond
suspicion, though Mr. Wu apparently
retained full lxuiflflciicc in him.

Loxtsix, July 10. Following is the
text of an appeal of Americans iu China,
nssembled 111 mass meeting in Shang
hai, to their fellow citizens ut home:
"Urge the government to send ade
quate forces to act effectively iu concert
with the other powers. At present tho
American forces are quite dispropor
tionate to the interests involved. Our
commercial interests in tho northern
provinces nro paramount, aud wo con
sider it a humiliating policy to entrust
to other powers tho chief task, that of
protecting Americans.
"Anti-foreign outrages are multiply
ing daily. UHlcials and missionaries
are massacred. The fate of the minis
ters and their families in Pekin is not
known but a general massacre is appre
hended. Wholesale massacres of native
christians continue. The whole coun
try is terrorized. Trade is paralyzed.
"The speedy restoration of order and
retribution are duties pressing upon all
civilized powers. The consequences of
delay wilt lie disastrous. Not only are
foreign lives and property placed in
jeopardy, but the loss of influence will
be incalculable.
"Give no credence to statements of
the situation sent by the Chinese gov
ernment to its ministers abroad. The
present outrages are tho result, of the
weak and vacillating policy of tho pow
ers in the past. Wo urge, immediate,
energetic and concerted action."

New Yokk, July It!. Fearing that
the missioi aries who have escaped to
Chcfoo might suffqr, many of whom
have been forced to flee without their
possessions, the Fresbyteriun Hoard ot
foreign missions has authorized its rep
resentative nt Chcfoo to supply them
with money. This message was sent
to Rev. Gorge Coruwell, treasurer of
the Shantung districts:
"Take all precautions. Draw on
Fitch, Shanghai, needed funds for nil
inissioneries. Hold meeting to consider
policy. Cable judgment."
"This message was sent," said Rev.
Dr. A. Woodruff Haley, one of the board
secretaries, "because we feared that
some of our missionaries lire in actual
need. Our intention is to care for the
native converts as well as tho mission
aries. Thsre is f2(),0(M) at Shanghai,

terest in the convention and saie he ex
pected 100,000 would be preseu'J at the
great rally on Wednesday. A party of
0151 Americans who arrived at midnight
received a cordial welcome.
Already there wero some indications
of u food famine on the grounds. The
attendance seemed to havo entirely ex
ceeded the expectations of the caterers
und hundreds of delegates, after wait
ing for 1111 hour or more iu the dining
hall, wero informed that the supplies
were exhausted. Table service supplies
were equally scant and the lJac.o is
miles away from tho ordinary restaur
ants. Dr. Lorimer, iu the course of his ad
dress, urged Christian Kndcavorers to
raise the cry of "Brotherhood and no
vengeance," in connection with tho
Chinese situation.
D. 11. Eddy, of Auburn, N. Y., who
is preparing for missionary work in
India, led an interesting meeting last
evening, and will conduct a missionary

tniu Chester, commander of the United
States battleship Kentucky, who is
awaiting the arrival of the warship ut

Canon Richards, of Canada, was tho
leading speaker at the missionary meet
ing last evening.
Iainihin, July 1(1. The original pro
gram of the World's Christian Endeavor
convention for Sunday was seriously in
terfered with by the delay in the ar
rival of the 000 American delegates.
Agaiu, however, the convention was fa
vored with glorious weather. Rev.
Charles Sheldon addressed meetings und
overflow gatherings ut the Alexandra
palace, everywhere being received with
great enthusiasm.
Piter nilhorn was also present. Ho
has charge of the vocal music, during
the convention. Thus far all the meet
ings havo been largely intended and
the inspiring strains of the Christian
Endeavor hymns could be heard all over
the grounds until long after midnight.
Indeed, si sin after !J o'clock this morn

others resumed singing,
