Washington, Aug. 21. The American
leply to I'll I mis latest iiipcnl for u ces
Futlnn of hostilities, received today
from LI Hung Cluing, hud not yet been
mailt known when this article was
written, and the mutter may receive
Rome consideration at the cabinet meet
ing Tuesday.
The Chinese government, through LI,
pintle application to the I'ulted States
for the iipplontment of Minister Conger
or some other American ofllclnl. with
authority to open negotiations for the
establishment of pence mid for fixing
definite terms for the settlement of
the present trouble. The npplieiitloll
Clime to the Chinese mliiester, mill
was taken by hlui to the state depart
ment.. There Is reason to believe tint the
overtures will In effect be rejected on
the ground that the conditions laid
down In the American note of August
12 luive not been compiled with, mid
until compiled with th government's
course must proceed without reference
to China's desire for n halt In the pro
ceedings. The dispatch of August 12
paid specifically that the Tnltetl States
was ready to enter Into tin agreement
between the powers nnd the Chinese
Government for n cessation of histlll
ties on condition that the relief forces
should be permitted 'to enter Peking
unmolested" mid escort the logation
thcrcfrom under such circumstances
ors therefrom under such cir
cumstances ns the cominnndliig gen
era! lulcht lay down. Rut up to the
present time there Is no evidence thnt
the allied forces nre unmolested fit
Peking or have received the sanction
of the Imperial government to con
vey the legut loners to Tien Tsln with
out further trouble, nnd wider the
conditions laid down by the command
lug general On the contrary, all of
the dispatches indicate that the allies
ure meeting stubborn resistance, nnd
there Is nn entire lack of compll
nnce with the conditions laid down by
the 1'nitetl States In its dispatch of Au
gust 12. ns stated above When the
foregoing was written, the government
had given no authoritative statement
of Its purpose In reply to China's ap
plication, nud there Is Rt ill n slight
chance that complete compliance with
tho ib-iiiniiils of August 12 be an
nounced in the Peking dispatches be
fore the rtmil deterinliiatUin on the re
ply Is made. The Tnited States gov
ernment also might wish to first con

Ignition, Aug. 20. - Rear Admiral
Rrucc cables the admiralty from Che
Foo, August 1!). a dispatch containing
the following:
"Am Informed on the authority of
the Japanese that street fighting still
continues in Peking, part of which Is
on fire.
"Yang Sa prevented the empress
from leaving, and a hint stand Is now
being made In the Inner city, which
Is surrounded by the allies and being
bombn riled."
Rome, Aug. 20.-.Y dispatch from
Taku. via Che Foo. Aug. IS, said:
"Fighting continues Iu the utrccts of
Peking, and the allies have Itoinbnnled
the point that Is still resisting. Piinc
Yung prevented the departure of the
empress dowager."
Washington. Aug. 20.-Jhe navy de
partment received the following cable
gram:
"Taku. Aug. IS. -Telegraph line to
Peking Interrupted. Information Jap

tuined by Prince Yungedo Inner city,
which Is being liombarded by nllles.
Chnffee reports entered legation

during day's light. Otherwise nil well.
"Remey."
The war department received the
following dispatch:
"Che Foo. Aug 1!. Pekiii. Aug. 15.
We entered legation grounds at S
o'clock last night with Fourteenth and
light battery. Eight wounded ilurins
day's fighting. Otherwise all well.
ChafTec."
Wnr department oflleluls thought th
date, reking. Auj:. IS. was an error
In transmission. They believed It
should b August 10, ns all prevloun
rcKirts Indicated that Peklug was
cupturcd on the l.'th Inst.
The Martllug feature of the dis
patch is that lighting wlthlu the city
of Peking was continuing, according
to the advices of Admiral Remey. The
Inner, or, ns Is opularly known, the
Forbidden City, evidently IihiI not been
taken. It Is surrounded by a massive
wall of solid uinsoury, more than 20
feet high. Prior to the receipt of the
dispatch It was accepted generally as
n fact that the dowager empress, In
rompaiiy with the emperor and a large
suite, had left Peking. Nothing is said
In Admiral Reniey's udvh-es as to the
whereiilHiuts of the emperor. Some
doubt of the accuracy of the Informa
tion received by Admiral Remey wns
expressed, particularly us the Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu, was very positive
that the emperor, empress dowager
and the entire Chinese court left Pe
king before the arrival at the gates of
the allies.
Minister Wu said thnt lie had official
advices to tlie effect that the emperor
nnd empress dowager had gone from
Peking to the province of Shell SI, a
considerable distance west of tte capi
tal city. He. had not been adViscd to
what city they had gone. The minis
ter believed they were entirely out of
danger. The statement that the dow
ager empress was detained by Prince
Vtiugeilo therefore gave hlui little con
cern, although he expressed some in
terest in it. lie said there was no
Chinese Prince Yungedo. It Is not n
Chinese name . It might be, the min
ister thought, a Japanese name, but,
personally, he knew of no such perron.
POPE IN EXCELLENT

Talked mi Matters lu America.
At the Vutlcan,
Rome, Aug. 20. Sunday being the
feast of St. Joachim, the pope's patron
saint, there was a large gathering at
the vii lean of cardiniils, bishops and
presldtns of societies. The pope,
who wns in excellent health nnd spir
ts, spoke at some length regarding
matters of Catholic Interest, and then,
with a coiiipllmntary Introduction, in
vited Archbishop Ireland to address
the assembly on matters in America
and the relations of the outer world
to he holy see.
Mgr. Ireland, who was frequently
applauded during a speech of 20 min
utes, spoke glowingly of the fidelity
of American Catholics to the Uomuii
church and the holy see. lie described
liberty under the American ling and
set forth the necessity of the pope, as
the head of Christendom, being free
nud independent to any one civil power
"so ns to be in fact ns well ns of right
the sovereign teacher nnd ruler of nil
nations nnd peoples without special de
pendency on any special nation or peo
ple." The address gave visible satisfaction.
Mgr. Ireland had a final audience
with the pope on Friday.

detuned hv the Jury to Life Imprison
ment He Wn Trtrlhlr Shnrked.
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 20. Caleb
Powers Issued a statement as fid
lows:
I niu asked my opinion concerning
my trinl iiml the verdict of the Jury.
Could I have imt one opinion? Can
any falr-iniiiileil man or woman of
this state have but one? That one of
the greatest Judicial farces known o
history has been enacted here In my
trial, under the forms of lnw, no well
informed man enn doubt.. Innocence
Is no shield whh $100,000 nnd the
methods of Campbelllsm ngninsf you.
The rectitude of one's past life counts
for naught. They say Taylor is guilty
because lie was at his office, nnd that
I am guilty because I wus awtv from
mine. This has been a politic;.! trial
throughout for political fin-poses, mill
lio greater mistake has been mnde by
the Ilemocrntlc party, since they rob
bed us of the offices to which we were
fairly elected by the people. There nre
pood men nud noble women In the
Democratic party, nnd mnny of them.
They are not all bad. far from If. A
pit n mnny of them do not endorse
the theft of the state offices. A great
ninny more will not endorse this mock
ery of n trial, this prostitution of the
courts of Justice for certain eni'Ji From
the beginning of the campaign until
now I have stood with what little of
merit I have hnd for the rights and
lihcrtict: of the people. That Is my
crime. That is the only offense I have
committed. That Is the mil,, thing prov
en against me. I swore to that myself
In my testimony. I have never had
nnd I now have no apology to make for
being true to the trust imposed upon
me by the majority of the voters of
this state. History will draw Its dark
lines around those who have outraged
ami disgraced the Judiciary and black
ened the history of the state. I am
very respectfully, Caleb Powers.
The case of Henry Youtsey will be
cnlled today, but ns the defendant has
not fully recovered It was not certain
last night whether the case will go to
trlnl. As much, if not more difficulty
wns expected lu securing a jury than
In the Pwers case, ns nearly everylxidy
In the county became disqualified by
hearing evidence In the Powers trial.
It Is probable that Judge Cnntriil will
summon a venire from the adjoining
counties.
Georgetown. Aug. 20. "We. the Jury,
find the defendant guilty, nud II x his
punlsmeiit at couHnemeiit 111 the peni
tentiary for the rest of his natural
life."
This was the wording of the verdict
rendered in the case of ex-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers, charged with
being accessory before the fact to the
murder of William Gocbel. The Jury
retired at 1 :,'!2 p. m. nnd returned Its
verdict nt 2:2S, having been out only
C.'l minutes.
Towers, always pale, grew ghastly
white ns th" verdict wns rend and his
face betokened great mental anguish.
Then, somewhat regaining his compos
ure, he turned to the Misses Danger
field, who had been In conversation
with him, and said:
"1 was not expecting that. The ver
dict Is unjust."
Power remained In the courtroom
for some t'me after the verdict wns
rendered in conference with his attor
neys, who will nt once move for a
new trial, and. failing that, will take
nn appeal.

Iluvern of li!l. rent Lines In
New York.
New York, Aug. 18.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade, Issued to
day, said iu part:
After a g: .at wave of advancing
prices optimism as to business is gen
erally dangerous. Rut the top was
reached the middle of March, since
wh'cli time reaction has come iu every
great industry, so that consumers are
asking whether in some directions the
decline may not have been unreason
ably large as was the advance, and
whether buying on the present basis
Of prices is not rainy sure, mere me
further evidences of Wliklies8 ill raw
materials, notably the break In struct
urnl iron, but each one Is availed of
to place heavy contracts. New York is
welcoming buyers from all over tin
country iu larger numbers than for
many years at this season. In dry
goods, in groceries, in Jewelry and In
hardware; and If contracts r re not
placed to as large a volume as xiect
ed by this time It Is because of con
ervatltiiii of those who think they
niny compe nome further shading of
prices. Reports this week from other
tniportant points of distribution show
the same eagerness to buy when the
time seems right. '
If Is becoming more apparent that
the bottom bus been reached in prices
of Iron nnd ste-1. The decline wns
severe and recovery must be slow,
but gradual ndvnnces and moderately
Increasing activity are more healthy
than violent cbnnges. In no slnglv
division is the improvement more strik
Ing than in any other. Except steel
rails nil forms of Iron from the ore to
the finished product are being sought
more eagerly and with less effort to
secure further concessions In price.
The first effect of the official report
of wheat condition. Indicating a total
of wheat condition, indicating a total
crop of only M3.W7.000 bushels, was
to strengthen prices, but when the
secretary of agriculture wns reported
as predicting "dollar wheat" before
the end of the year the market showed
an Inclination to disagree, and the Sep
tember option fell below R0c nt New
York for the first time In two months.
Failures for the week were 101 In
the Pulled States, ngnlnst l"li last
year, nnd 21 In Canada, ngulnst 21 last
year.
GIRL FOUND MURDERED.
Relieved She Surprlned Thief, the
IMiH-e Wa lanacked.
New York. Aug. 20. - Catherine
Schnrf, aged 22, was bcntetl to death
with a hammer In her rooms on the
second floor of H74 Second avenue. Her
brother made the discovery, when he
rame home.
Tin woman's body lay In a pool of
blood, face downward. Nearby on the
floor was n bloody hammer, and the
rooms had been ransacked of every
thing of value. It Is the opinion of
the police that a thief entered the
house nnd was surprised In his work
by the girl and that he killed her to
prevent Identification.
The police detained Frederick Scharf.
the brother of the murdered girl, nnd
Lincoln Price. The latter is said to
have been a frequent caller on Miss
Scharf. So far the police have not
given out any Information to show that
the two men are held other than us
witnesses to be used at the coroner's
inquest.
