. UNDATEDMESSAGES, Another Dispatch Received From Minister Conger. TRYING TO CHANGE RUSSIA'S MUD. An Effort Being: Made by the Power* to Induce the Ciar to Abandon the Idea of Withdrawing Troopa From Pelting. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-A dispatch from Minister Conger was received by the state department yesterday. It wat chiefly interesting in being the first word from him since his dispatch of about the 27th ult. referring to the proposed parade of troops through the imperial palace In Peking. Like that dispatch, this is date less as to Peking. The contents was not made public, but it was stated that it contained nothing materially changing the situation. The lack of date led to a determination to take energetic steps by which all dispatches hereafter coming to the state department from China will have the date clearly stated. Two other dispatches received from China referred to the state of health of the troops, which generally is satisfac tory. It cannot be learned that there has been any marked advancement of the ne gotiations between the powers touching •Jic withdrawal of the international forces from Peking. The plain indica tiou is that the powers are acting upon the hint conveyed in the last note of the state department and are bringing all of their influence to bear upon Russia to induce her to change her mind as to withdrawing her troops. For some rea son the authorities here appear to feel a growing confidence that this effort will be successful. It is noted as a fact of great significance thut the proposition is being advanced to have Prince Chlng return to Peking as the acting head of the Chinese government. The suggest ion is made that the progress of this wave of reorganization while the inter national troops are still in Peking, prom ising as it does speedily to provide an actual do facto Chinese government with which the nations may treat without further doubt as to its strength, may solve the present problem und put the Chinese question in a fair way to final and satisfactory settlement. Much may depend upon the attitude of Russia in this mutter, and the munuer in which she treats this appeal from the Chinese notables may prove to be a test of the sincerity of her expressed desire to deal with the Chinese government as soon as possible. RAVAGING THE PEI-HO VALLEY. Foreign Troops Indulging lu Loot ing mill Destruction. TAKU, Aug. 3d, via Shanghai, Sept. 3. —The Chinese in the Pei-Ho valley are paying dearly for the folly of their gov ernment. The retribution they are suf fering exceeds the ordinary penalties of war. Along the rivers and the roads traveled by the foreign troops betweeu Ticn-tsin«nnd Peking au orgy of looting and destruction continues, with much useless slaughter of unoffending inhabit ants. While the international forces were advancing the commanders, notably the Japanese and Kritish, enforced a cer tain degree of protection for property not needed for military purposes. At tlint time most of the population ex cept the tiglitiug men hud fled. Hut now the people are returning to their homes, only to find no shelter or rice or occupa tion. In the overcrowded famine threat ened districts away from the river their lives and smull possessions are at the mercy of bauds of soldiers traveling about without officers. The conditions prevailing leave little ground for the favorable comparison of civilised warfare with Chinese methods. Robbery, ravishing and murder ore so common that every responsible person one meets contributes stories from per sonal observation. The walled city of Tuug-chau was the only town in the pathway of the international forces whose people remained aud attempted to continue business. During its oecupatiou the Japanese patrolled the place efficient ly, protected the people aud prevented looting beyond the amount iuevitatile with an army. General Chaffee stationed a guard around the historic temple out side the wall, forbidding his troops to cu ter. The commanders encouraged the in habitants to resume business, promising protection to all peaceful persons. When the armies advanced, however, the guards were removed, only a small Itritish and American garrison being left outside the wull. A correspondent re turning from Peking fouud Tung-chau stripped like a cornfield after a plague ul grasshoppers. Everything portable o| the smallest value had been taken, good* from shops, food and furniture. Parties of soldiers of every nationality wer» roaming about unrestricted and presunui lily were doing much wauton destruction iu tlie spirit of deviltry smashiug furni ture ami glassware und trampling books anil pictures under foot. Most of tht Chinese were submitting to ull this in üb jeet fear. The few who dared to protest were kicked about Several bodies luy iu the streets, ap parently those of uoueouibatuuts. The inhabitants, without food or clothtug, were huddling in back yards iu a pitiable condition. The villages to the southward are evsa Worse despoiled. One week after Pfkiut was taken the traveler to Tien-tslii was seldom out of sight of burning houses. Fires me started daily, although tb* shelter will lie much needed if the troops are to hold tin' country during the win ter. The soldiers are having "tine sport" iu using uallves, who creep back to theit houses or nttempt to work hi the fields, us targets. The sight of a farmer lying where he vvus shot, with a basket ut grain or an armful of other produce ueai by, is quite common. The llussiuus art the chief actors iu this style of conquest but the French are remarkably conspic uous, considering their small nuuiliera. The Indian troops und the Japanese ure purtlcipants only when lieyoiid the kiHi of their officers. From the liegtliuing tile couduet of tht Itusslans has been u blot on the cant pHigu. The recital of notorious fattt speaks more forcibly than could auy id jcctlres. Killed kr a Paal Ball. DAI.TON, Mass., Kept 1.-Jntpl Marsh.

Lieutenant Lawtoa Four Time* Wounded at Battle of lien-tali. AUBURN, Sept. 4.—Mrs. Louis B Law ton of this city, wife of Lieutenant Lawton of the Ninth United States in fantry, now doing service in China, hai Just received a letter from Major J. M Lee, who took command of the Ninth upon the death of Colonel Liscum, in which he gives a graphic account of th< battle of Tien-tsin and commends the gallantry of Lieutenant Lawton, who waa wounded four times during the bat tle while executing orders. Major Lee says that Lieutenant Law ton has been recommended for a medai of honor and a brevet and describes the lieutenant as "the most heroic, gallant spirit that ever went into battle." Aftei referring to the loss sustained by tht Ninth regiment, which the major places lit 25 per cent in killed and wounded, 'fce says: "Captain Noyes had been twice wounded, Captain Bookmiller had fallen- Major Regan had fallen severely wound ed within a few feet of me and soon after General Liscum fell mortally wounded. This all occurred before oi about 9 a. m.on the 13th. We had pushed forward to the limit and wert separated from the enemy by a canal or moat 50 yards wide and from six tc eight feet deep in wuter. The ground in our rear, where so many had fallen, was literally swept by bullets and shrap nel. To advance was impossible, and. with the dead and wounded around ut and all of us in mud and water from our waists to armpits, we determined to hold the place and await re-enforce ments, ammunition und relief for out wounded. The situation became more and more desperate. "About 10 a. m. I decided to send Lieutenant Lawton with an orderly back for help. It was a perilous undertak ing, but I believed he would get through, and he did so under a heavy fire aud coolly represented all our needs to Gen eral Dorward. Some re-enforcementa were sent, about 100, but they nevei reached our front line. Lieutenant Law ton stood up under fire and urged then) to move out. lie then received a scalp wound. He then started alone to join me and report. Wc saw him coming and the word went along the line, 'There comes Lieutenant Lawton,' and every man opened on the enemy to protect liim. "I saw him stoop to pick up something and thought he was hit, but he bad dropped his notebooks and had coolly stopped to pick them up. On he came, and when nearly through be was bit in the arm and breast severe, but, thank God, not fatal. Captain Browster and I went to him, and he calmly and clear ly reported the result of his perilous mission. There he and I, with the dead and wounded about us. remained unilei fire until nightfall. He was again bit in the sole of the shoe. A gallant, heroic little soldier named Nelson C. Price, private in Company F, Ninth infantry attended him and protected him with u little batik of earth, which was hit many times. The superb heroism of this youug soldier no doubt suved your husband's life and mine as well." NEW a A. R. OFFICERS. Major Haaalear For Commander la Chief—Denver la 1901.

A WARNING TO BUSINESS MEN. Disaster Would Inevitably Follow the Introduction of Bryanlte Meth ods In the Financial Mauatieuieut. One of the moat effective documents that could be used In the Republican national canvass, says a special dis patch from Washington, is an inter view with the secretary of the treasury, who pointed out how Bryan, if he should be elected president and should adhere to the position he took In 1896, could drive the government to a silver basis, upset the public credit, destroy public confidence, paralyze Industry and plunge the country Into financial ruin. In answer to the question, "In case of the election of Mr. Bryan, could he order his secretary of the treasury to pay interest on coin bonds and the matured bonds themselves in silver?" Secretary Gage said: "There is no doubt Mr. Bryan could order his secretary of the treasury to make payment in silver of all of the CAGE public debt payable in coin, and for all current disbursements of the gov ernment as well, which amount to from $1,500,000 to $1,750,000 a day. That he would give such an order, too. is certain, if he Is In the some mind that he was in 1806, for he was then quoted as saying: "If there Is any one who believes that the gold standard is a good thing, or that It must lie main tained, I want him not to cast his vote for roe, because I promise him it will not be maintained In the country long' r than I am able to get rid of it." "Do you think it would be practica ble to control a sufficient volume of sil ver to make the payments you refer to?" "He would have great difficulty In doing that at once. The treasury of the government ut the present time is very firmly established ujion 11 gold stand ard. Including the reserve of $150,- 000,000 held against the legal tender notes, the government owns and con trols over $220,000,000 In gold coin and bullion, while It owns and controls only about $16,000,000 In silver, the rest of the silver being out In circula tion among the people, either In tha form of sliver certificates or silver coin. CHECK INFLOW OF COLD. "The announcement by the treasury department of Its purpose to pay silver In settlement of all Interest on the public debt not specially payable In gold, and to make Its dally disburse ments to Its creditors In sliver, would stop the tnttow of gold, or at least very largely diminish payments In gold, and correspondingly Increase payments Into the treasury of silver and silver certificates. It. therefore, might be an ticipated that with a good deal of per verse Ingenuity, the time would come at no distant day when all the revenues of the government would be paid to It In silver dollars or silver certificates, and all disbursements made by It would be inade in silver dollars or sliver cer tificates. There would thus be estab lished a circuit of silver out of the treasury Into the hands of the people, from the people luto the bauku, from the baNika Into the custom house and Into the hands of the collectors of In ternal revenue. "The government, then, would be practically on a silver basis, would It not?" "That would, no doubt, be accom plished, and the government, properly fpeaklng. would be ou a silver basis." "How would this affect the credit of the government?" "Most disastrously, I have no doubt. The movement Inaugurated as pro posed would give a sunse of insecurity, the outstanding greubacks that are by the law redeemable in gold would be presented at the treasury for redemp tion. and the treasury notes of 1890 likewise Of these two theft are si;iu, 000,000 outstanding Against these the government holds, tinder the law, 1150.000.000 In gold. It tines not re quire much sagacity to see that If the gold reserve were not entirely exhaust ad It would be soon reduced below tha 9100.04 Hi.ooo mark, which the law has established as a minimum It being the duty of the secretaty of the treasury when that point is reached to restore the reserve to flso.ooo.lHHi. I'uder the adverse Influence upon genet 111 busi ness affairs business would soon be de pressed, Industry checked, and the ge\eminent's revenues would be very Biuch diminished Instead of a sur plus. we would probably witness a de ficiency In restoring the gold reserve, to which I have Just referred, the law directs the secretary of Ibe treasury, If necessary, to sell bond*, payable in gold, redeemable in M* year, payable I* 10 years, at a rate of Intet est uot to eiceed 3 per cent a year. With the impairment to the public credit and with the loss of revenuee, an lust Indi cated. It Is very doubtful whether bonds withlti the limitation of luieraal permitted In the law could be eold. II tney could not, the pdwer to redeem the demand obligations of the govern ment either in gold or silver would fall." "How would this state of things In the government finances affect general business conditions throughout the country?" "The effect would be deplorable. No body would be able to measure accu rately the influence upon his own af fairs of such government action. Every one would be in a state of fear; and when people are afraid they will, as some one has said, either run or hide. Commercial dullness would succeed the present commercial activity, and we would again witness that Industrial paralysis which characterized the years 1893 and 1896, when the question of what was to be the standard agitated the public mind." LEAGUE MEN ARE ACTIVE. President J. Hampton Moore !■■■•■ HU Final Call For the Great Gath ering nt Philadelphia on the 17th Inatunt. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Sept. 4. —President J. Hampton Moore, of the State League of Republican clubs, has issued his final call for the state convention of the league, which will open In Phila delphia on the 17th Inst, and continue the following day. In his address to his fellow Repub licans President Moore says: "The Pennsylvania State League of Republican clubs, co-operating with the national executive committee, will have the honor of firing th list gun for McKinley and Roosevelt; the con vention to be held in Philadelphia Sept. 17 and 18. "The occasion will be one of great in terest, and will afford the Republican clubmen of the state a splendid oppor tunity of demonstrating their useful ness In a political campaign. "At no time in its history has the assistance of the strong fighting force of the State League been more welcome than In the great struggle which ia now pending. There is need for the fire and enthusiasm of energetic leaguers In every city and hamlet of the state and nation. When the peo ple are prosperous and contented they are apt to forget the dangers that be set them. They forget sometimes to 'lock the stable door until the horse Is stolen.' In this campaign our ma trlal strength may prove our political weakness. Strange as it may seem, the greatest menace arises not alone from the confident feeling that the popularity of our candidates will carry the elections, but from the more sig nificant and extraordinary sentiment that because the people are prosperous there should be none to want a change. PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE. "The average American voter who was dissatisfied and unhappy under Democratic rule Is now contented and prosperous; the tollers of the land who were Idle under the Democratic re gime are now employed; the great army of business and workingmea voters who demanded a change from retrogression to progress, and who, for four years, have been reaping the benefits of wise Republican legislation, are slow to believe that another and powerful army Is marching steadily on ward to overthrow the good that has been done and to seize the helm of government. They are slow to believe that the candidates of the Republican party, who stand for all that has been prosperous and successful In our na> tlonal development, and for all that has been valorous and heroic In our manhood, should be in danger of re pudiation. "They have not yet come to realize that the restless army of Democracy, of Populism and of demoralization has stealthily advanced, gathering, here and there, the selfish and discontented, combining all for the grand attack in November upon the honor. Integrity and prosperity of the country. They have not yet come to realize that tha standard bearers of Republicanism stand violently assailed by the Boxer horde of the New World, with all Its lack of reason and responsibility.
