Washington (Special). The State
Department hns made public some Im
portant correspondence between LI
Hung Chang and the department re
garding the suggested abandonment
of the campaign against Pekin. It Is
In tho form of a cablegram from Sec
retary Hay sent to the United States
Embussles in Herlir, London, Paris,
Rome and St. Petersburg and to the
United States Minister at Toklo, as fol
lows: In replying to n suggestion of LI
Hung Chang that the Ministers might
be sent under safe escort to Tientsin,
provided the powers would engage not
to march on Pekln. the Secretary of
Stute replied on the 30th of July as
follows:
'This Government will not enter
Into any arrangement regarding dis
position or treatment of legations,
without first having free communica
tion with Minister Conger. Responsi
bility for their protection rests upon
Chinese Government. Power to de
liver nt Tientsin presupposes power to
protect and to open communication.
This Is Insisted on.
"This message was delivered by Con
sul Goodnow July 31 to Viceroy LI, who
then Inquired whether. 'If free com
munication were established between
the Ministers nnd their Governments,
It. could be arranged that the powers
should not ndvanee on Pekln pending
negotiations. Io this inquiry the fol
lowing reply was pent August 1. ad
dressed to Consul Goodnow, nt Shang
hai:
'I do not think it. expedient to sub
mit the proposition of Karl Li to other
powers. Free communication with our
representatives in Pekin Is demanded
as a matter of absolute right and not
as a favor. Since the Chinese Govern
ment admits that It possesses the pow
er to give communication, it puts itself
In an unfriendly attitude by denyingit.
No negotiations seem advisable until
the Chinese Government shnll have
put the diplomatic representatives of
the powers in full and free communi
cation with their respective Govern
ments and remove nil danger to their
lives and liberty. We would urge Earl
Li earnestly to advise the Imperial
authorities- of China to place them
selves in friendly communication and
co-operation with the relief expedi
tion. They are nssuming a heavy re
sponsibility in acting otherwise.
HAY.
"You will communicate this Infor
mation to-the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs." Secretary Hay's last reply to LI has
closed the negotiations with China un
less the old Viceroy Is able to secure
the full acceptance of the terms rela
tive to the foreign Ministers, and that
at once. No orders, therefore, look
ing to a relaxation of the preparations
for the advance on Pekln have gone
out from Washington, for, as the situa
tion Is described by one of the leading
officials here, "there will be no bar
gaining on our part In advance of the
concession by the Chinese authorities
of full and free communication with
the foreign Ministers."
There Is a note ominously close to
actual war In Secretary Hay's declara--
tion that the conduct of tho Chinese
Government is "unfriendly." That
kind of language is extreme in diplo
macy, nnd It is only a narrow stop
between it and formal war.
The impression prevails here that
the Chinese Government, if It is not
absolutely bereft of power to act in de
fiance of the Boxers, will accept Sec
retary Hay's terms, and some such ac
tion is lookcl for soon. Possibly a
battle not more. It is believed, than
ono at most will be required to bring
the Pekin Government to the point of
acceptance, though In that case It Is
questionable whether the original con
ditions would be regarded as still open
to acceptance.
If the Chinese Government now nc
cepts, however, the United States will
be face to face with ono of the most
delicate and momentous diplomatic
tasks ever undertaken. It must at
tempt to redeem its promise to use its
good offices In favor of China, and in
tho present temper of some of the Eu
ropean powers great difficulties may be
expected to arise lu the prosecution of
the nttempt.

Strenuous efforts are being made to

Dr. George 10. Morrison, the London

the Chinese Government encouraged

It is now beginning to appear clearly
that if the Ministers In Pekln arc

throne to have the Ministers escorted
out of Pekln to a place of safety or
that they bo allowed to communicate

In North Carolina.
Raleigh, N. C. (Special). This State
has given more than 40,000 majority
for the Democratic State ticket and tho
suffrage amendment. The Legislature
Is overwhelmingly Democratic, Insur-,
Ing the election of Chnlrmnn F. M.
Simmons as Major Butler's successor
in the United States Senate.
There were no disorders or rioting
anywhere In the State so far us can bo
learned.
The colored people took little Inter
est in the election, and this accounts
in a large measure for the absolute
quietude that prevailed. Many colored
men voted for tho suffrage amendment
and scratched the Republican State
ticket. The Democrats have made
guins in every section of the State;
In fact, the Fusionlsts have carried
less than a dozen counties.
Senator Butler declined to comment
on the returns.
Democratic State Chairman Sim
mons said he had figured that the State
would go Democratic uy 37,uoo ma
jority, but that the returns insured a
majority of nO.OOO. He says if the pres
ent ratio of Increase continues the ma
jority will exceed (iO.000.
"We have 80 members of the Legis
lature," Simmons said. ,
The suffrage amendment, which will
have the effect of disfranchising the
Illiterate colored men. will receive a
majority nearly as large as that given
the State ticket. The vote for the
amendment will run several thousand
behind the vote given the State ticket.

Havana (By Cable). Mr. Estes O.
Hathbone. recently Director-General t.f
Posts in Cuba, was arrested on four
charges. These allege the unlawful
drawing of two orders for $!00 each,
paying his private coachman and gar
dener from the postal funds, nnd draw
ing per diem allowance when not en
titled so to do. The accused was held
In bonds of $25,000.
Rathbone remained In the court
room all day awaiting the decision of
tho Judge in the matter of the accept
ance of Francisco Gamba, one of the
richest Spanish merchants of Havana,
as bondsman for $25,000. Rathbone
wns obliged to go to the guardhouse
because the Judge ruled that Gamba
could not go on the bond without the
consent of his business partner. Rath
bone's lawyer brought Senor Gamba
to Ihe courtroom at noon, nnd after
two hours' argument the Judgo said
that he was willing to nccept Gamba
as bondsman If the military authori
ties were satisfied. When Captain Scott
was appealed to he sent three aides to
report on Gambn's financial Btnndlng.
All reported favorably nnd sent word
to the Judge that the military authori
ties were satisfied as to the financial
qualifications of the bondsman, uJid ad
vised accepting, provided no other Im
pediment should be found. After con
sulting the law firm that Is represent
ing the Government in the case, thfi
Judge ruled adversely and Rathbone
was taken to the guardhouse.
Mr. Rathbono's lawyers say the bond
Is unreasonable, ns the total amount of
the fraud alleged is not more than
$-1000. They insist that be will be re
leased and found innocent of all
charges, it is also elulmed that the
two warrants which figure in 1 lie case
wera not cashed by Rathbone. and that
they were part of the defalcations
charged up to Neely. They also assert
that the per diem allowance arrange
ment has never been officially discon
tinued, nnd that nothing criminal can
be attributed to Rathbone on any of
tho charges.

Salinn, Knn. (Special). Union Pacific
east-boiuid passenger train No. 4
which left Denver, was held up by two
men several miles west of Hugo, Col.,
110 miles this sldo of Denver. The pas
sengers In the Pullman sleepers were
robbed of their money and valuables.
An old nian named Fay." a resident, of
California, who had been visiting In
Denver nnd was on his way to St.
Louts, refused to surrender his valu
ables and fired a shot at one of tho
robbers but mlsRed.
Thereupon the robbers fired, cue
shot entering Fay'B mouth nnd com
ing out, at the back of his head, killing
him almost Instantly. The robbi-9
stopped tho train, jumped oft and es
caped. The robbers got on to one of tho
sleepers near Limon. und after the
train had started the men made a
noise lit the door. Tho conductor,
thinking they were tramps, opened
the door to put them off. The rob
bers, who were masked, pointed a pis
tol at his bend and ordered him to b ad
Ihe way through the noaches. All of
the passengers were nsleep. nnd the
conductor was ordered to wake them
one at 11 time. The frightened passen
gers were told to keep quiet or they
would be killed, nnd at the same time
were asked to hand over their money
nnd valuables. 'Ihe robbers obtained
about $100 In cash und a number ot
gold watches and pieces of Jewelry.
The robbery took place a few min
utes before 'l o'clock. The body of
Fay, who was killed, was taken off at
Hugo und shipped to Denver. Ho was
ti years of ago and a prominent Odd
I-'ellow of California. The conductor,
who wns compelled to hold a ling while
the robbers relieved the passengers,
lest his watch, and asked that It be re
turned him in order that he might
run his train on time. The robbers
gave it back.
After ransacking the two coaches
the men made the conductor pull tho
bell cord, but the train was going so
rapidly that the robbers were taken
to Hugo before it slowed up enough
to enable them to jump. They com
pelled the conductor to get off ahead
of them so that if any ot tho passon
geurs had been In waiting they would
have shot him first. After the rob
bers had dismounted they ordered tho
conductor to return to his train.
Miss Shaw, of Denver, a passenger
on the train arrived nt Salinn. She
stated that when the men entered tho
ear everyone wns asleep, and very few
knew anything of what was going 011
until they were awakened by the rob
bers. When tho men came to her berth
a pistol was pointed nt her face and
she wns told to be quiet and hand over
her valuables. With great presence of
mind she opened her pocketbook, let
ting a number of bills fall out. nnd
then handed tho purse, containing
somo sliver, to the robbers. She also
managed to save her watch, which was
pinned to her dress, by placing her
arm over it.
