HOPE FOR CONGER.
0FFCIAL3 BELIEVE FOREIGNERS SAFE
' IN PEKIN.
17, 8. Consul Fowler Bent News of Dls.
pati-lies Received From the Japanese
ami Herman Legations The llixly of
llaron Von Kettctar lteMrteil Safe,
Washington, July 81. The effect of
the news from China was to freshen
tho h(io that tho govorumout can soou
get iu direct oommuulcation with Min
ister Conger. The mass of testimony
us to his being alivo as late as the 22ud
inst., as to warrant tho department in
resuming the considerations of projocts
for tho futnro. With all of its anx
iety to got Mr. Conger and the Ameri
cans in Pekin safoly away, the depart
ment is proceeding with proper cau
tion uud is by no weans disposed to no
cept uny proposition that would un
duly jeopardize thoir lives.
Such might bo tho result of an off
hand acceptance of the proposition to
have tho Chinese government to deliver
the foreign ministers at Tien Tsiu, for
it is realized that the escort might be
overpowered by superior forces oT Box
ers on the way to the sea. The state
department has cotno to the conolusioa
that Mr. Conger himself is the best per
son to judge of tho conditions under
which his deliverance shall be cffoctM,
mid, therefore, it is again looking to the
Chinese government to pluce it iu com
munication with Mr. Conger in order
that it may be advised by him. That
requirement was the first of tho condi
tions laid down by President McKinley,
in his answer to tho apical of tho Chi
nese emperor, so that tho situation can
not be suid to havo been materially
changed by tho developments.
The stuto department was inclined to
regard Consul Fowler's communication
as the most vnluablo confirmatory evi
dence yet received touching tho safoty
of the Pekin diplomats. No answer
had boon received to tho second Conger
nics-sngo, but iu view of Consul Fow
ler's news the officials wero inclined to
look forward to an early reply.
The following bulletin was posted at
tho department of stato Monday:
'Tho secretary of state received at
midnight a dispatch from Mr. Fowlor,
American consul at Che Foo, dated at
noon on tho 29th. Mr. Fowler says:
" 'A letter from tho Oennau legation,
dated tho 21st inst., has been received
at Tiou Tsin. Tho German loss is ten
dead and 13 wounded. Tho Chineso
censed their attack oil the 12th. Baron
Ketteler's body is said to have been
saved. Tho Austrian, Itolian, Dutch
and Spanish legatious wero destroyed
and the French partially.
" "A letter from tho Japanese lega
tion, (luted tho 22d, arrived nt Tien
Tsiu on tho 25th. It says: Ten bat
talions of Chinese shelled tho legatious
incessantly from tho 20th of June and
stopped on tho 17th of July, but may
renew. Tho enemy are decreasing.
The German, Russian, American, Brit
ish, half tho Japanese and tho French
legations still defend. Japanese say
they havo food for six days, but little
ammunition. The emperor and em
press are reported nt Pekiu." '
London, July 30. The Shanghai cor
respondent of The Daily Express, tole
graphiug July 29, said:
"A new imperial edict promulgated
this evening urgently orders all vice
roys and provincial governors to en
deavor to negotiate, peaco with the
powers whoso ministers are held ai hos
tages pending tho rosult of the over
time sVsiiJie abandonment of hostili
ties against China.
"Tho viceroys aro also commandod to
guard their territories vigilantly agairst
attack and to prevent, by all means In
their power, tho odvanee of foreign
troops, especially along the Yang Tso
Kinng. The decroo says that tho offi
cials will answer with their lives for
any failure to execute theso orders.
"Commands aro also given that not a
single foreigner shall bo allowed to es
enpo from the interior, where there are
still fully 2,000 Europeans, connected
with missionary work in isolated situa
tions. "When tho governor of Shantung
coninmuicnled to the cousuls the im
perial decree of July 24 ho omitted im
portant passages addressed to LI Hung
Chang:
" 'It is admittodly inadvisoblo to kill
all the ministers, but it is equally un
wise to send them to Tien Tsin. It will
1)0 much wiser to keep tho survivors at
Pekin as hostages.'
" 'Yon are commanded to hasten to
Pekin. Yon are incurring impel dis
pleasure by delay. You havo been ap
pointed viceroy of Chi Li because, with
your military experionce, you will suc
cessfully lead tho imperial armies
gainst the foreigners in Chi LI, which
You Ln, the present viceroy, is unable
to do owing to his Iguoronce of military
affairs.'
"Li Hung Chang replied to this edict,
asking to be allowed to retire on account
of his age.
"Sheng now admits that bo has tele
grams since July announcing that every
foreigner In Pao Ting Fn was murder
ed, including 40 British, French and
American missionaries and announcing
also that two French joroits and 1,000
converts have been massacred at Kwang
Ping Fn, on the borders of Shan Tunjr
)nd Chi Li. A majority of the consuls
favor strong measure! against Sbeng's
duplicity.
"Local officials assert that the Italian
priests murdered iu Ha Nan wers
wrapped in cotton, which had been
soaked in kerosene, and were slowly
roasted to death. It is believed that all
foreigners iu Chi Li I'.avo by this time
been massacred, nnd the rnv of mas
acre is spreading toward Nitig Po ami
Hong Chow, from which point M Eng
lish and Americau missiouers are en
dcavoriug to escape in boats down the
river to Kiung Su. Officials here an
ticipate a general rising along the Yang
Tse Kiang about Aug, I.
"Au astoundim Americau iutrigua
has boon revealed to tho consuls here in
tho shape of a skillful attempt to get
the maritime customs placed in the
bands of an American missionary
uamd Fergusson who, although ho waa
an active ally of Sheng in the latter'a
endeavors to hoodwink tho world with
regurd to events in Pekin, was sup
ported by the American officials in his
claim to the appointment of iuspeotor
general."

Lincoln, Neb., July 80. Mr. Bryan
is so well along with his notification
speech and his plans aro so well devel

nounce today his itinerary for the trip to
Indianapolis and return. He had no
knowledgo of the time and place for his

Silver Republicans, and it was not be
lieved his present itinerary takes into
consideration that function. Local
politicians had hoped that if it was to
be in the west, Mr. Bryan's home in
Lincoln would be the pluce selected, bnl
it was thought Topeka, Kan., will prob
ably secure the meeting. It is possible
the trip to Chicago of Secretary Edger

may havo some bearing on tho question.
Mr. Edgerton left last evening and will
remain sevejnl days. He expects to see
Charles A. Towno while in Chicago.

Humbert I., Henler Charles Emmanuel
Jeun Marie Ferdinand Eugene, Klnj of
Italy, born March II, 1SU He attended
his father, Victor Emmanuel, during the
war of Italian Independence in 1359.
In 1SS6, when Italy fought with Austria,
tho prince took the Held as commander
of a division In General rialdlnl'a army,
and was present at the disastrous battle
of Custozzu. June 23, 1866.
After Rome waa occupied In 1S70 by the
Italian troops, he took up Ills residence
there, and upon the death of his father,
January 9, JS7S. succeeded to the throne
of Italy. In November of the name year
an attempt was made to assassinate him,
but failed. When the would-be assassin
was condemned to death, Humbert com
muted his sentence to Imprisonment at
hard labor.
During the cholera epidemic nt Naples
he exposed himself frequently in his en
deavors to alleviate the suffering of the
Ick and dying by these and other ac
tions of kindness the king won the af
fections of the Italian people. In IMS he
married his cousin, Princess Marguerite
of Havny, and a son wus born of this mar
riate in IW
April 22. 1Mi7. anofher attempt was mnda
to kill him while he was driving with his
aides and c-tcnrted by two carbineers to
the race trark ot Capanelle. A workman
from Artcgna named Nletro Acclarlto
rushed at the royal C'lulpiiRe and stabbed
vtrtiusly at King Humbert. The king
leaped aside and the blade of the dagger
or stilletto sank to Its hilt In the cush
ions of the carriage. The crowd then fell
upon the would-be assassin.
Acclarlto was sentenced to the galleys.
At his trial he ucted Ilka a maniac, shout
ing anarchistic denunclatlona of society
and declaring that he would like to kill
all who llve.l In comfort.
King Humbert" rclj,-n has been mark'd
more for his ability to keep his people
knit together than for any eztraordlnnry
activity he has shown In the afTalrs of
the nations of Europe Most of the his
torians of modern affairs contend that
ItaIVs stability since 1SGI. when Victor
Kmnvinnel was first saluted king, has been
due to the sagacity of her ministers rather
than to the greatness of either Humbert
or his father. Dut it Is memorable that
even when Humbert oscended the throno
tha army ar.d navy of his country wero
as nothing, his people were impoverished,
roads were unbuilt and the nation had a
poor standing among the cations of the
sarth.
Tho triple alliance, with Its accompani
ments of ready armies and equipped navy,
has flourished tinder his rule, and his
people remnlned loyal to him In spite of
the scandnls which shook In turn every
minister from place and power. The most
notable achlevementa of King Humbert's
reign had been the consummation of lha
triple BlManra between Germany, Austro
Hungary and Italy, and the securing .if
Turkish adhesion to the compart as a pre
cautionary measure against the possible
encroachments of Russia and other pow
rs. lieyond this achievement he seemed
to have been content to care mostly f'ir
the internal and material advancement jf
his people as though they were his neigh

New York, July 2S. R. O. Dun
Co. 's weekly review of trade, issued to

Speculative activity la raw materials Is not
prtvenl to discourage new business. Pro

In hesitation and fear in other Industries, the
tone is better, and in the Pittsburg district the
mills have booked a line of fair orders in bars
and plates. Htructural and bridge materials
are better taken. The refusal of the Amalga
mated association to allow a change tn the
wage scale adopted ln May has led to utrikea at
numerous bar mills and the Ropublio company
is to dismantle some plants to secure concen
tration, but the non-union capacity will pre
vent serious scarcity. Further business In bars
shows that agricultural Implement makers ars

During Inst week's scouting ten Ameri

hundred and eighty Filipinos were killed
and i0 taken prisoners. Forty insur
gent rifles were captured.
The fiestn, in Manila, organized by
Paterno and his political followers to
ominiomornte the amnesty, resulted in
a fiasco. The people were passive, nn
enthusiastic and not even interested.
Falling to preceive any tangible, ef
fective results of amnesty they say they
can see no reasons for celebrating.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of the
commission felt constrained to decline
to attend the banquet, as they had been
Informed that the speeches would favor
independence, nnder American protec

their acquiescence by being present.
Senor Paterno, foreseeing the suspen

cans, frantically appealed to them to at
tend, promising that there should be no
speeches
The provost's precautions wore ex
treme. The guards were doubled both
days and the authorities forbade the dis
play of Filipino flage and of pictures of
President McKinley and Aguinalilo fra

The fiesta was generally considered to
have been premature and unfortunate.
HAPI'KNED IN WASHINGTON.
A dispatch from the German legntion
at Pekin. dated July 21, reported all
well. Uuitod States Consul Fowler, al
Che Foo, sent similar news of lettei
from German legation, and German
loss ton dead and 12 wounded. Body ol
Bnron von Ketteler gnved.
In the city of Washington, news wai
received of the death of Lewis JHar
vie Finney, private secretary to Secre
tary Long", nt Warm Springs, Va. He
had been awny from the offico a month
and moro as the result of an attack of
fever.
A message was received at the navy
department, rronv Captain Thomas, sen
ior officer commanding the squadron at
Taku, containing tho following:
'Ciir Foo, July 24. A written mes
sago, signed Conger, dated July 4, re
ceived at Tien Tsin the 21st, says:
'Have been besieged two weeks in Brit
ish logntion. Grave danger of general
massacre by Chinese soldiers, who are
shelling legation daily. Roliof soon, if at
all. City without government, except
by Chinese army. Determined ninssnora

The report of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Rathbone, on the Cu

cuses Rathlione of collusion with Neely

General ChnfTee and tho Sixth Uuited
States cnvulry reached Nagnsaki on hii
way to China.
A communication from Admiral
Kempff was made publio by the navy
department, iu which he accused the
Chineso government of first encourag
ing the Boxers and then Liter being
unable to haiidlo the situation,
Admiral Hemey.in a dispatch, denied
that Americau marines helped loot Tiou
Tbiu.
The Dtate dopnxtinont wns expecting
important newj from Pekin.
It was believed that the basis for the
expectation is the knowledge on tho part
of the officials that certain machinery
heretofore set in motion may result in
the opening up of communication
through some socrnt but reliable chan
nels. It was known that a second effort
has beou mado by our own government
to get another, messngo from Mr. Con
ger, nnd that nearly all of the powers
also l:ave resorfe l to private agencies in
their own interest with a like objoct.
The f ict developed that one of the
last B"!si'f Colonel Li scum before his
death nt Tiou Tsin w:ts to nudertnke tho
,lis;ia?'-h of a sp". to Pekin. General
Dorwnrtl. tho British commanding of-n.-er
nt Tien Tsin. also sent out two
mos-engers. and it was belioved that the
Japanese did the same. As far as de
veloped here Snndny, not one of those
messengers had returned to Tien Tsin
nor had thorn been a single word heard
from nny of th.-.u. This fact, however,
had not caused tho abandonment of
hope, and this was truo in particular of
the message expected from Mr. Conger.
Minister Wti is perhaps the basis of this
hope on our part, and he maintained an
unshaken confidence in his original as
sertion that the nows, when it does
come, will show that tho legatiouers nre
alive. The messnge reported to have
come through Missionary Wilder, at
Che Foo, was regarded as most prom
ising TRI-STATE KVKNTS.
