OFFCIALS BELIEVE FOREIGNERS SAFE
' IN PEKIN.
IT, 8. toinnl Fowler Sent News of DU
patelies Received From tin) Japanese
aul Uerumii Legatious The llxljr of
'Ilaron Von Kettctor Reported Safe.
WAsmsnTON, July 31. The effect of
tho news from China was to freshen
tho h(io that tho govorumeut can soon
got in direct communication with Min
ister Oongor. The mass of testimony
as tu his being alivo as lato as the 22ud
Inst., as to warrant tho department in
resuming the considerations of projects
for the future With all of its anx
iety to got Mr. Conger aud the Ameri
cans in Pekin safoly away, the depart
ment is proceeding with proper cau
tion and is by no weans disposed to ac
cept uny proposition that would uu
duly jeopardize their lives.
Such might be the result of an off
hnud acccptnnco of tho proposition to
have tho Chinese government to dolivcr
the foreign ministers at Tiun Tsin, for
it is realized that tho escort might be
overpowered by superior forces o' Box
ers ou tho way to the sea. Tho stnte
department has como to tho conclusion
that Mr. Conger himself is tho best per
son to judge of the conditions under
which his deliverance sliall bo effected,
and, therefore, it is again looking to the
Chinese government to place 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 apjienl of the Chi
nese emperor, bo 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
as the most valuable confirmatory evi
dence yet received touching tho snfoty
of the Pekin diplomats. No answer
had been rocelved to tho second Conger
message, but in view of Consul Fow
ler's news tho officials were inclined to
look forward to an early reply.
The following bulletin wns posted at
the department of stato Monday:
"Tho secretary of state received at
midnight a dispatch from Mr. Fowler,
American consul at Che Foo, dated at
noon on tho 29th. 'Mr. Fowler says:
" 'A letter from tho German legation,
dated tho 21st inst., has been received
at Tien Tsin. Tho German loss is ten
dead and 12 wounded. Tho Chineso
censed their attack on the 12th. Baron
Kettoler's body is said to havo been
saved. Tho Austrian, Italian, Dutch
and Spanish legatious wero destroyed
and the French partially.
" 'A letter from tho Jnpnnese lega
tion, dated tho 22(1, arrived at Tieu
Thin ou tho 25th. It says: Ten bat
talions of Ohiuese shelled tho legations
incessantly from tho 20th of Juno and
stopped on tho 17th of July, but may
renew. Tho enemy nro decreasing.
The German, Russian, Amorican, Brit
ish, half tho Japanese und tho French
legatious still defend. Japanese say
they havo food for six days, but little
ammunition. The emperor and em
press are reported nt Pekin."
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 all vice
roys aud provincial governors to en
deavor to negotinto peace with the
powers whoso ministers are held as hos
tnges pending tho rosult of the over
tures for the abandonment of hostili
ties ngninst China.
"The viceroys aro also coinmandod to
guard their territories vigilantly against
attack nnd to prevent, by all moans la
their jniwer, tlio advance of foreign
troops, especially along the Yang Tso
Kinng. The decroo says that tho offi
cials will answer with their lives for
nny failure to execute theso orders.
"Commands nro also givon that not a
single foreigner shnll bo allowed to es
enpo from she interior, where there are
still fully i.000 Europeans, connected
wit h missionary work in isolated situa
tions. 'When tho governor of Shantung
comnmuicnled to the consuls the im
perial decree of July 24 ho omitted im
portant passages addressed to LI Hung
Chang:
" 'It is admittodly inndvisnblo to kill
all tho ministers, but it is equally un
wise to send them to Tien Tsin. It will
bo much wiser to keep tho survivors at
Pekin as hostages.'
" 'You are commanded to hasten to
Pekin. Yon are incurring imperial dis
pleasure by delay. You bavo been ap
pointed viceroy of Chi Li because, with
your military experionce, you will suc
cessfully lend tho imperial armies
against the foreigners in Chi Li, which
You Ln, tho prestnt viceroy, is unable
to do owing to his ignorouce of military
affairs.'
"Li Huug Chang replied to this edict,
asking to be allowed to rotireon acoount
of his age.
"Slieng now admits that bo has tele
grams since July announcing that every
foreigner In Pno Ting Fn was murder
ed, including 40 British, French and
American missionaries aud announcing
also that two French jomiits and 1,006
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 Shong's
duplicity.
' Loral officials assert that the Italian
priests murdered iu IIu Nan wers
wrapped in cotton, which had been
sooked in kerosene, and were slowly
roasted to death. It is believed that all
foreigners in Chi Li have fcy this time
been massacred, and the wove of mas
acre is spreading toward Ning Po and
Hong Chow, from which point U0 Eng
lish and American missioners aro en
deavoring to escape In bouts down the
river to Kiung Su. Officials here an
ticipate u general rising along (he Yang

"Au astounding American iutrigua
bos been revealed to tho consuls here in
tho shape of a skillful attempt to get
the maritime customs placod in tho
bands of an American missionary
nanid Fergusson who, although he was
an active ally of Sheug in the latter'!
endeavors to hoodwink the world with
regard to events in Pekin, was sup
ported by the American officials In his
claim to the appointment of iuspeotor

Lincoln, Neb., July 80. Mr. Bryan
is so well along with his notification
speech and his plans aro so well devel
oped that he hoped to be ablo to an
nounce today his itinerary for the trip to
Indianapolis and return. He had no
knowledgo of tho time and place for his
notification by the Populists and Fre
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 place selected, but
it was thought Topeka, Kan., will prob
ably sccuro the meeting. It is possible
the trip to Chicago of Secretary Edger
ton, of the Populist natioual committee,
may have some bearing on tho question.
Mr. Edgerton left last evening and will
remain several days. He expects to see
Charles A. Towno while in Chicago.
Mr. Bryan and his family attended
union services at the First Presbyterian

to a sermon on "The Divine Orator,"

Humbert I., Itenler Charles Emmanuel
Jean Marie Ferdinand Eugene, Kin? ot
Italy, born March 14. 1S14. lie attended
hla father, Victor Emmanuel, during the
war of Italian independence in 1S59.
Wl, when Italy fought with Austria,
the prince took the Meld as commander
of a division in General Claldlnt'R army,
and was present at the disastrous battle
of Custozzu. June 23, 1866.
After Rome was occupied in 1S70 by the
It.illaji troops, he took up his residence
there, and upon the death of his father,
January 9, 1S7S, succeeded to the throne
of Italy. In November of the sums year
an attempt was mudo to assassinate him,
but failed. When the would-be assaSBla
was condemned to death, Humbert com
muted his sentence to Imprisonment at
hard labor.
During tho cholera epidemic nt Noplei
he exposed himself freiiently ln his en
deavors to alleviate the sufferings of the
ick and dying. Uy these and other ac
tions of kindness the king won the af
fections of the Italian people. In ISIS he
married his cousin, Princess Marguerite
of Havny, and a son wus born of this mar
riate In lvw
April 22. is.'', another attempt was mndj
to kill him while he was driving with his
aides and escorted by two carbineers to
the race track at Capnnelle. A workman
from Artegna named Nletro Acclarlto
rushed at the royal ejuipnge and stabbed
Vlrlouly at King Humbert. The king
leaped aside and the blade of the dagger
or vtilletto sunk 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 ueted like a maniac, shout
ing anarchistic denunciations of society
and declaring that he would like to kill
all who llveil In comfort.
King Humbert's rrl(;n has been inarkd
more for his ability to keep his people
knit together than for any extraordinary
activity he has shown In the affairs of
the nations of Europe Most of the his
torians of modern affairs contend that
Italy's stability since lMd. when Victor
Emmanuel was first saluted king, has been
due to the sagacity of her ministers rather
than to the greatness of either Humbert
or his father. But it 1b memorable that
even when Humbert ascended the throno

people were impoverlshejr
lu!lt and the nation hnjnj

tha army and navy of his country wer

Tho triple alliance, with Its accompani
ments of ready armies and equipped navy,
has nourished under hla rule, and his
peoplo remained loyal to him In spite of
the scandals which shook In turn every
minister from place and power. The most
rotable achievements of King Humbert's
reign had been the consummation of tha
triple alliance between Germany, Austro
Hungury and Italy, and the securing of
Turkish adhesion to the compac t as a pre
cautionary measure against the possible
encroachments of Russia and other pow
ers. lieyond this achievement he seemed
to have been content to care mostly for
the internal and material advancement of
his people as though they were his neigh

PKODUCERS AND CONSUMERS
Una's Review Notes Them Getting To
g.ltrr In More Than One
Direction.
New Tore, July 2S. R. O. Dub &
Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to
day, tnid in part:
ripeeulutive activity la raw materials Is not
present to discourage new bnitnoss. Pro
ducers snd consumers are getting together in
n.ore than one direct'on, although midsum
mer inactivity is emphasized by disturbed for
eign relations nnd hesitation always attend
ing a nstionsl political campaign. False starts
are to be feared, but the dangerous optimism
of lt autumn is lacking, and new business Is
at lower prices.
An to stop dechn In wool bronght many
manufacturers In the market asking terms.
Good sates of Csllforma and territory wools
were mnde to mills and the trade expects
larger purchases to follow the opening of
spring goods by the American Woolen com
pany next week. Holders who have had diffi
culty in storing were the chief sellers. Bales
of wool at the three chief markets were only
4,3.1: ,500 pounds, against 10.773,600 1hh year.
In iron, tho depression in which has resulted
In hesitation and tear in other Industries, the
tone is hotter, and ln the Pittsburg distriot the
mills have booked a line of fair orders ln bars
and plates. Htructnral and bridge materials
are better taken. The refusal of the Amalga
mated association to allow a change in the
wage scale adopted in May has led to strikes at
numerous bar mills and the Ropnblio 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 ar
more active. Grey forge has fallen to $15 at
Pittsburg, and Besserrr steel billets sold at
110. With the uncertainty of the conference
of steel companies at Chicago removed, buyers
may proceed with less anxietv.
It was not surprising that wheat declined
still further this week, for the price had been
held fur abovti the quotation ruling at thl
date in IhiiO, and crop conditions are so gener
ally satisfactory as to assure an abundance for
all home requirements and the usual amount
for export. High prices have curtailed foreign
buying to some extent, and In four weeks At
lantic exports of wheat, Including flour, havi
been only 7,4)0,118 bashel. against 8.430.431 last
year.
Tiie shipments of corn make a more satis
factory comparison, ln four weeks amounting
to 12,7iO,4Ji bushels, against U,Hsl,470 a yeai
ago.
Failures for the week have been 231 In th
United Btates, against 151 last year, and 28 la
Canada, against 20 last year.

The War In the Philippines, Crimea, Trl
State Happenings, Foreign. Business and
Other Kvents Boiled Down For the
Reader In a Harry.
NEWS filOM TBE PTIILIPriNES.
During last week's scouting ten Ameri
cans were killed and 14 wounded. One
hundred and eighty Filipinos were killed
and 00 taken prisoners. Forty insur
gent rifles were captured.
The fiesta, in Manila, organized by
Pnteruo and his political followers to
OMiiimemornte the amnesty, resulted in
a fiasco. The people were passive, un-enthu'-iastic
and not even interested.
Failing to preceive any tangible, ef
fective results of amnesty they say they
can see no reasons for celebrating.
Jude 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, under American protec
tion and they could not passive'.y lend
their acquiescence by being present.
Senor Paterno, foreseeing the suspen
sion of the banquet without the Ameri
cans, frantically appealed to them to at
tend, promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provost's precautions were ex
treme. The guards were doubled both
dnys and the authorities forbade the dis
piny of Filipino flage and of pictures ol
President McKinley ond Aguinaldo fra
ternally frnmed.
The fiesta was generally considered to
have been premature and unfortunate.
HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON.
A dispatch from the German legation
at Pekin. dated July 21, reported all
well. United States Consul Fowler, al
Che Foo, sent similar news of lettei
from German legation, and German
loss ton dead and 12 wounded. Body ol
Baron von Ketteler saved.
In the city of Washington, news wm
received of tho death of Lewis ;Har-
vie Finney, private socretnry to Secre
tary Long, at Warm Springs, Va. Ha
had been away from the office a month
and moro as the result of an attack of
fever.
A message was received at the navy
department rron Captain Thomas, sen
ior officer commanding the squadron at
Taku, containing the following:
Cim 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 legntion. Grave danger of general
massacre by Chinese soldiers, who are
shelling legation daily. Relief soon, if at
all. City without government, except
by Chinese army. Determined mnssnore
all foreigners Pekin. Entry relief fore
into city prolmbly hotly contested.'
"Thomas, Taku, July 23."

gram from Consul McWado, at Canton,

cuses Rathbone of collusion with Neely

ings against him.
General Chnffee and tho Sixth United
States cnvolry reached Nagasaki on hit
way to China.
A communication from Admiral
Kempff was made publio by the navy
department, iu which he accused the
Chinese government of first encourag
ing tho Boxers and then later being
unable to handle the situation,
Admiral Remey, in a dispatch, denied
that American marines helped loot Tieu
Ttsiu.
Tho Dtate deportment was expecting
important newj from Pekin.
It was believed that the basis for the
expectation is the knowledge on tho pnrt
of the oHlcinls that certain machinery
heretofore set iu motion may result in
the opening up of communication
through some secret but reliable chan
nels. It was known that a second effort
has beoti mado by our own government
to get another- inesHitgo from Mr. Con
ger, nnd that nearly all of the poweri
also liave resorted to private agencies in
their own interest with a like object.
The f ief developed that one of the
last B"fs of Colonel Liscum before his
denth nt Tieu Tsin wns tr nndevtake the
disMBt-h o? a spr to Pekin. Gonoral
D-trwnrd, tho British commanding of
ficer at Tien Tsin. also sent out two
messengers, and it was believed that tbe
Jnpnnese did the same. As far as de
veloped here Sunday, not. one of those
messengers had returned to Tien Tsin
nor hnd them been a single word heard
from nny of 'h.-.u. This faet, however,
had not caused tho abandonment of
hope, and this was true in particular of
the message expected from Mr. Conger.
Minister Wn is perhaps the basis of th
hope on our part, and he maintained an
unshaken confidence in his original as
sertion that the news, when it does
crime, will show that tho legatiouere aro
alivl). The message reported to have
come through Missionary Wilder, at
Che Foo, was regarded a most prom
ising TKI-STATE KVESTS.
