HOPE FOR CONGER.
OFFCIALS BELIEVE FOREIGNERS SAFE
' IN PEKIN.
IT, 8. Conanl Fowler Sunt News of I)U
patches Received From the Japauesa
ami Ovriunii Legation The. llody of
llarou Von Keftenr Reported Safe.
Wasiusotok, July 31. Tho effect of
the news from China was to freshen
tho hope that the govorumout can soon
get in direct communication with Min
ister Cougrtr. The mass of testimony
as to his being alivo as luto as the 22ud
Inst., as to warrant tho department in
resuming the considerations of projects
for the future. With nil of Its anx
iety to get Mr. Cougcr and tho Ameri
cans in Pekin safely away, the depart
ment is proceeding with projier cau
tion and is by no weans disposed to no
cept any proposition that would uu
duly jeopardize their lives.
Such might be tho rosult of nn off
hand ncceptnnco of tho proposition to
have tho Chinese government to deliver
the foreign ministers at Tien Tsiu, for
it Is realized that tho escort might be
overpowered by superior forces at' Box
crs on tho way to the son. Tho stnto
department has como to tho conclusioa
that Mr. Conger himself is the best per
son to judge of tho conditions under
which his deliverance sluill be effoctpil,
and, therefore, it Is again looking to the
Chinese government to place it in com
munication with Mr. Conger in order
that it may be advised by him. That
requirement was tho first of tho condi
tions laid down by President McKinley,
in his answer to tho appeal of the Chi
nese emperor, so that tho situation can
not be said to have been materially
changed by tho developments.
The state department was inclined to
regard Consul Fowler's communication
ns the most valuable confirmatory evi
dence yet received touching tho safety
of the Pekin diplomats. No nuswer
had been received to tho - second Conger
message, but in view of Consul Fow
ler's news tho officials were inclined to
look forward to nn early reply.
The following bulletin wns posted at
the deportment of stnto Monday:
"Tho secretary of stnte received at
midnight a dispatch from Mr. Fowler,
American consul at Che Foo, dated nt
noon on tho 29th. Mr. Fowler says:
" 'A letter from tho Germau legation,
dnted tho 21st inst., lias been received
nt Tion Tsiu. Tho Gorman loss is ton
dead nud 12 wounded. Tho Chinese,
censed their nttnek on tho 12th. Baron
Ketteler's body is said to hnve been
wived. The Austrian, Italian, Dutch
nnd Spanish legntious wero destroyed
and the French iwirtinlly.
" "A letter from tho Japanese lega
tion, dated tho 22d, nrrived nt Tien
Tsiu oil tho 2."th. It says: Ten bat
talions of Chinese shelled tho legations
Incessantly from tho 20th of June nnd
stopped on tho 17th of July, but mny
renew. Tho enemy nro decrensiug.
The German, Russian, American, Brit
ish, half tho Japanese nnd tho French
legations still defend. Japanese say
they have food for six days, but little
ammunition. The emperor and em
press nre reported nt Pckiu." '
London, July 30. The Shanghai cor
respondent of The Daily Express, tele
graphing July 2'J, said:
"A new imperial edict promulgated
this evening urgently orders nil vice
roys and provincial governors to en
deavor to negotiate penco with the
powers whoso ministers nro held at hos
tages pending tho rosult of the over
ture !; abandonment of hostili
ties against China.
"Tho viceroys aro nlso comnianclod to
guard their territories vigilantly ngairst
nttack and to prevent, by nil moans in
their power, tho advance of foreign
troops, especially along the Ynng Tso
Kiang. Tho decree says thnt tho offi
cials will nnswrr with their lives for
nny failure to exocnto theso orders.
"Commands nro also given that not a
single foreigner shnll be allowed to es
enpn from the interior, where there nre
still fully 2,000 Europeans, conuectod
with missionary work in isolated situa
tions. When the governor of Shantung
comniuuicnlcd to the consuls the im
perial decree of July 24 ho omitted im
portant passages addressed to LI Hung
Chang:
" 'It is admittedly iundvisnblo to kill
nil the ministers, but it is equally un
wise to send them to Tien Tsin. It will
bo much wiser to keep the survivors at
Pekin ns hostages.'
" 'You nre commanded to hasten to
Pekin. Yon nre incurring imperial dis
plensure by delay. You hnvo been ap
pointed viceroy of Chi Li because, with
yonr military experience, yon will uo
ccssfnlly lend the imperial armies
against the foreigners in Chi Lt, which
You Ln, tho prestnt viceroy, is unable
to do owing to his iguorouco of military
affairs.'
"Li Ilnug Chnng replied to this edict,
nsking to be allowed to retire on account
of his age.
"Sheng now admit thnt bo has tele
grams since July announcing that every
foreigner In Pao Ting Fn wns murder
ed, including 40 British, French and
American missionaries and announcing
also that two French jewlts and 1,00)
converts have been massacred at Kwang
Ping Fn, on the borders of Shan Tung
)nd Chi Li. A majority of the consuls
favor strong measures against Sheng's
duplicity.
' Loral officials assert that the Italian
priests murdered in Hu Nan wers
wrapped in cotton, which bad been
soaked in kerosene, nnd were slowly
roasted to denth. It is believed thnt all
foreigners in Chi Li l'.avo hy this timn
been massacred, mid the rnv of inas
iicre is spreading toward Ning Po and
Hung Chow, from which point uO Eng

deavoring to escape in boats down the
river to Kiang Su. Officials here an
ticipate a general rising along the Yang
Tse Kiang about Aug. I.
!,Au astoundiutc Ameriiau iutrigua
has been revealed to tho consuls here in
tho shape of a skillful attempt to get
the maritime customs placed in tho
bauds of an American missionary

an active ally of Sheng in the latter'!
endeavors to hoodwink the world with
regard to events in Pekin, was sup
ported by the American officials !n his
claim to the appointment of iuspcotor

Humbert I., Itcnler Charles Emmanuel
Jeun Marie Ferdinand Eugene, Kins of
Italy, born March 14. 1SI4. Ho attended
his father, Victor Emmanuel, during the
war of Italian Independence in K'9.
In 1S!G. when Itnly fought with Atistrln,
the prince took the Held as commander
of a division in UenernI Ciiildlnl'B army,
and wii8 present at the disastrous battle
of Custozzu. June 23, 1M6.
After Home was occupied in 1S70 by the
Italian troops, he took up hie residence
there, and upon the death of his father,
January 9, 1!7S. succeeded to the throne
of Italy. In November of the same year
an attempt was made to assassinate htm,
but failed. When the would-be assassin
was condemned to death, Humbert com
muted his sentence to Imprisonment nt
hard labor.
During tho cholera epidemic nt Naplei
he exposed himself frequently ln his en
deavors to alleviate the sufferings of the
sick and dying by these and other ac
tions of kindness the king won the af
fections of the Italian people. In ISiiS he
married his cousin, Princess Marguerite
of Savny, nnd a son was born of this mar
riage in lv
April 22, ISfiT, another attempt was mnde
to kill him while he was driving with his
aides and escorted by two carbineers to
the race track nt Cnpnnelle. A workman
from Artegna named Nletro Acciarito
rushed at the royal equipage and stabbed
viciously at King Humbert. The king
leaped aside and the blade of the dagger
or ft I llct to snk to Its hilt in the cush
ions of the cnrrlnge. The crowd then fell
upon the would-be assassin.
Acciarito was sentenced to the galleyi.
At Ills trial ho acted like n maniac, shout
ing anarchistic denunciations of society
and declaring that he would like to kill
all who lived In comfort.
King Humbert's relun has been tuarkd
more for his ability to keep his people
knit together than for any extrnnrdlnnry
nctlvlty he haa shown In the affairs of
the nations of Europe. Most of the his
torians of modern affairs contend that
Italv's stability since 1HU. when Victor
Kmniiinuei was flint saluted king, has been
due to the sagacity of her ministers rather
than to the greatness of either Humbert
or his father, liut it Is memorable that
even when Humbert ascended the throno
tha army nnd navy of hlB country wero
as nothing, his people were impoverished,
roads were unbuilt and the nation had a
poor standing among the nations of the
earth.
Tho triple alliance, with Its accompani
ments of ready armies ond equipped navy,
has flourished under Ms rule, and his
peoplo remnlned loyal to him In spite of
the scandnls which shook ln turn every
minister from place and power. The most
notable achievements of King Humbert's
reign had been the consummation of tha
triple ullinnce between Germany, Austro
Hungary and Italy, and the securing .if
Turkish adhesion to the compact as a pre
cautionary measure against the possible
encroachments of Russia and other pow
ers, lieynnd this achievement he seemed
to have been content to care mostly for
the internal and material advancement if
his people as though they were his neigh
bors, companions and friends.
Of late years he had followed more
closely in the humane nnd generous prac
tices of his amiable wife Visiting hospi

New Yore, July 2S. R. Q. Dun &
Co. 'a weekly review ot trade, issued to
dny, said in part:
peculiitire activity in nw material li no!
prevent to discourage new bontniiss. Pro
ducers and consumer are getting together In
n.ore than one dircet'on, although midsum
mer Inactivity is em p rem led by disturbed for
eign relations and hesitation always attend
ing a national political campaign. Fab-e starts
are to lie fenred, but the dangerous optimism
of ln-t autumn is lacking, and new business la
at lower prices.
A. to stop decline in wool brought many
manufacturers in the market asking terms.
Oo-id sales of California and territory wooia
were mndn to mills and the trade expects
turner purchases to follow the opening of
prion goods by the American Woolen com
pany next week. Holders who hare had diffi
culty in storing were the chief sellers. Bales
of wnoi at the three chief markets were only
,$i;,o(JO pounds, against 1U.7T3.60U lHt year.
In iron, the depression in which has resulted
In hesitation and fear in other industries, the
tone is better, and in the Pittsburg distnot the
mills have booked a line of fair orders in bars
and plates, structural and bridge niateriuls
are better taken. The refusal of tha .malgn
mated association to allow a change in the
wage scale adopted in May has led to strikes at
numerous bar mills and the Kepnblio company
is to dismantle some plants to secure concen
tration, but the non union oapacity will pro
Tent serious scarcity. Further business In bars
shows that agricultural implement makers art
more active. Urey forge has fallen to tl& at
Pittsburg, and Bessemer steel billets sold at
llii. With the uncertainty of the conference
of steel compunlcs at Chicago removed, buyer
may proceed with less anxiety.
lt wns not surprising that wheat declined
still further this week, for the price had been
held fur alsivu the quotation ruling at till
date in lMlfl, nnd crop conditions are so gener
ally satisfactory as to assure an abundance for
all home requirements and the usual amount
for export. High prices hnve curtailed foreign
buying to some extent, and In four weeks At
lantic exports of wheat, Including flour, hnvt
been only l,m.4M bushels, against 8,..4ai last
year.
The shipments of corn make a more satis
factory comparison, In four weeks amounting

It wus believed thnt the bnsis for the
exiH'etation is the knowledge on tho part
of 1 lie officials thnt certain machinery
heretofore sot in motion may result in
the opening np of communication
through some secret hut reliable chan
nels. It wus known that a second effort
has beon niado by our own government
to get another message, from Mr. Con
ger, nnd thnt nearly all of the powers
nlso hnve resorted to private agencies in
their own interest with a like object.

Japanese did tho same. As far us de
veloped here Sniidny. not one of these
messengers had returned to Tien Tsin

had not ennsed tho abandonment of
hope, nnd this was true in tmrticnlar of
the message expected from Mr. Conger.

hope on our part, and he mniutnin-jd an
unshaken confidence in his original as
sertion that the news, when it does
01110, will show that tho lugntiotiers are
