THE MINISTERS IMPERILLED Another Alarming Message From Minister Conger. ARE URGED TO LEAVE PEKIN. Chinese Government Would Send _ Them to Be Massacred. NEED FOE A SPEEDY ADVANCE. Urantlme 1.1 lluiik Chan* Declare* the Chlneae Troop* Huat Fltfht If the AI lie* l'rralut In the March to Pekla—The Soldier* of the Foreign Poneri Action In DnUan Through a Prearranged Flan of the Ulft'er ent Commander*. Washington. Aug. 8. —Another cable gram came to the state department last evening from Minister CongeratPekin, the second that has been received di rect from his since June 12. it is the first which has come direct from the minister since the above date, tne other having been received through the intermediary of the Chinese min ister here, Mr. Wu. Yesterday's tele gram shows that the situation in the Chinese capital is still of a ve.y seri ous character, that the ministers are still in danger from the Chinese troops and that their supplies of ammunition and provisions have been reduced to a very considerable extent. So import ant were the statements contained in the dispatch that a conference was held by wire between several of the officials here and the president at Can ton, lasting for several hours. At its conclusion the cablegram from Mr. Conger was made public, as follows: "Still besieged. Situation more pre carious. Chinese government insist ing upon our leaving Pekin, which would be certain death. Rifle firing upon us daily by imperial troops. Have abundant courage, but little ammuni tion or provisions. Two progressive Yamen ministers beheaded. All con nected with the legation of the United States well at the present moment." The cablegram came in the official cipher of the department. It is un dated. like his previous cablegram, but from the internal evidence furnished by his reference to the beheading of two members of the tsung-li-yamen, and to the insistence of the Chinese government of the removal of the min sters from Pekin, state department of ficials say It may be assigned a date not earlier than July 30, and perhaps not later than Aug. 2. It is checked by the telegraph company as having been put on the wires at Tsi Nan, a large city about 80 miles southeast of Pekin, Aug. 7. That the Conger message will stim ulate the energies of the government to its utmost endeavor to press for ward the advance movement towards Pekln is certain, for the message .makes It clear that for the ministers to leave Pekin would result in their •death. The information which came yester day that American troops were engag ed in the battle at Pietsang establish ed positively, for the first time, that notwithstanding the difficulties which <Jen. Chaffee had encountered in de barking troops and supplies, at least a. part, and a considerable part, of our force was in the vanguard of the for ward movement. Gen. Chaffee's dis patch to the wv department convey ed the most satisfactory evidences that the commanders had thoroughly agreed in advance upon a plan of action, and that there is every indication that his plan had been followed, as Gen. Chaf fee oh Friday sent the cable saying that the attack upon the Chinese at Pietsang would be made on Sunday, the day when Admiral Remey and the press correspondents say the fighting occurred. Oen. Chaffee's announce ment that the present objective of the International column is Yang Tsuan is interpreted by the officials at the war department to mean that this point, where river, railroad and wagon road meet, is to be made the advance base for the operations on Pekin. The most positive addition to the news of the day was the brief line from a press correspondent at Tien Tsin atatlng that the Ninth and Fourteenth Infantry, Reilly's battery and the ma nses were in the battle of Pietsang. It was this force which, with the British and Japanese, bore the brunt of the attack on the left flank which was to turn the enemy's position. This plan had already been made clear by Gen. Chaffer's dispatch, although he did not mention what American troops would be engaged. In view of the participation of the American troops the war and navy de partments are anxiously expectant of a report of the part taken by our troops, and of any losses which the Americans may have sustained. No light has yet been thrown upon the subject of whether the commanders of the international forces have agreed upon a commander. The Chaffee dis patch would seem to indicate that none had been agreed upon. The movement was planned evidently by the commanders in conference, and the part which each command was to play agreed upon in advance. It is per haps noteworthy and significant that this plan of attack upon the enemy a t Pietsang the American, British and j j a forces were joined In the movenK' nt t0 turn the enemy's right Hank, whJ' e l h e Russians and French operated together on the opposite side of the river against the enemy's left. This may Indicate the line of cleavage among the allies, whose general dis sensions were reported at Tien Tsin. It Is also exceedingly algnificant that Gen. Chaffee does not mention the German force at all. The w«*r depart ment officials do uot believe that this could have been due to an oversight on his part if it was arranged that they ■were to participate In the movement. It therefore seems llfcaly that the Ger mans werf n»t engaged at Pietsang. It is thought possible that they may be acting independently. CHINESE T»U»OJ\H MI ST FIGHT. LI IIUIIK Chants Declare* They Will ltcniMt the Allies' March. London, Aug. 8. —"In case the troops advance the Chinese must fight. The suggestion that the allies should be al lowed to enter Pekin in order to escort the ministers to Tien Tsin is abso lutely impossible." This is the dictum of Li Hung Chang it was transmitted last even ing to Mr William Pritchard Morgan, member of parliament for Merthyr Tydvil, by agent at Shanghai. The agent had carrh*i to Earl Li a message from Mr. Morgan urging that the al- Yled troops he allowed Jo enter the capital and stating that a settlement could be uiade at Tien Tsin Whereby a war of the world against Chi«# would be averted, but even opti mistic Li failed W hold out the slight est hope of its feasibility, although he reiterated to Mr. Morgan's agent his declaration that the ministers had left FeJtin, fixing the date of their depaTt ure as Aug. 2. The agent makes tbi» comment; "The consuls are without confirmation." These messages have been sent to Lord Salisbury, accompanied by a statement by Mr. Morgan, urging that the allies should take no step to en danger the lives of the ministers. A LI PING IIENG. message from the Belgian minister, dated Pekin, Aug. 2, seems effectually to dispose of the rumors that the min isters have either left or are intending to leave Pekin. The Chinese minister in London, Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, says he has received a telegram from China an nouncing that a long imperial edict was issued on Aug. 2 authorizing the immediate and safe conveyance of all Europeans in Pekin to Tien Tsin. Several dispatches are printed giv ing heresay accounts of Sunday's bat tle. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Chefoo, telegraphing Monday, says: "The fighting lasted seven hours, and the allies, when my report left, were pursuing the Chinese, but owing to the floods progress was difficult. Thus the Chinese will have time to re-form and to recover from the effects of battle. Only a small garrison, with 14 guns, remains at Tien Tsin, where some anxiety is felt because of a report that 15,000 Chinese are said to be moving two days' march to the southeast." All the correspondents agree in praising the bravery and organizat'on of the Japanese. Li Ping Heng, according to the Shanghai correspondent of The Stand ard, has been appointed generalissimo of the Chinese forces and has left Pekin to command the troops outside the city. A Shanghai special says that official advices from Tokio announce that armed collisions have occurred be tween parties of Russians and Japan ese outside Taku. This, however, as it comes by way of Shanghai, must await confirmation before being credit ed. Wife Declarer Divorce Fraudulent. Trenton, Aug. 8. —Mrs. Lizzie Dubbs, of Philadelphia, came to Trenton yes terday and created a scene in the chancery clerk's office when she learn ed that her husband had obtained a divorce from her. The divorce was ob tained upon the ground of desertion, and no papers were served on the wife because her whereabouts were sup posed to be unknown. Mrs. Dubbs claims that her husband knew that she was living with her mother in Phila delphia, and she will make an effort to have the decree opened. The hus band, Howard Dubbs, is an Atlantic City druggist. Glaaaworkcra' Advanced Wage*. Atlantic City, Aug. 8. —President Hayes, of the Green Glass Bottle Blowers' association, announced last night that the conference between representatives of the blowers and those from the manufacturers which has been in progress for eight days ended last evening, and that the agree ment signed includes an increase of 7 per cent on the net list, which restores the prices paid on the old list which was in force prior to 1893.

Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 7. —A piece of new testimony was brought out yes terday at the beginning of the fifth week in the trial of former Secretary of State Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the Goebel shooting. E. R. Bullock, of Lexington, swore that he was in the adjutant general's office when the fatal shots were fired. He stepped out and saw a man in a stoop ing position behind the public fountain nearby. Bullock could not tell whether the man was white or black, and did not know what became of him. Bul lock declared that he saw Col. Jack Chinn walk rapidly into the state house as he stepped from the adjutant general's office. Apparently Bullock's statements did not excite much inter est. R. C. O. Benjamin, a negro attorney representing "Tallow Dick" Coombs, and whose client, it has been repeated ly asserted recently, had made an al leged confession, asked Judge Cantrill to be allowed to make a motion to have an investigation of his conduct in the matter of the confession of Coombs, in which he has been charged with be traying secrets of the prosecution. Judge Cantrill informed him that an investigation would not be necessary. Benjamin then gave out an intervew in which he says that Coombs' report ed confession was made in the presence of himself, Commonwealth Attorney Franklin and Victor H. Bradley, of the prosecution, and that Coombs made all the statements attributed to him ex cept as to the amount alleged to have been offered Hockersmith to kill Goe bel. Coombs' nephew stated that he had made a vain search for Hocker smith, and he thinks Hockersmith is in either New Orleans or San Fran cisco. Benjamin said he had conclud ed it was due to his client to tell all he knows, as he cannot find Hocker smith, who told Coomb ah that the latter knows about the assassination. Capt. B. B. Golden and other repre sentatives of the prosecution confer red with Green Golden, one of the al leged accessories, in the Frankfort jail Sunday, and there is a possibility that Golden may be introduced as a witness in rebuttal to contradict the testimony of the defendant. At the afternoon session ex-Gover nor Brown, for the defense, made a long argument in support of his posi tion that the defense was entitled show in evidence that the occupants of the executive building after the as sassination heard threats on the part of the populace, and that they acted upon this in arming themselves and excluding the public and civil officers from the building. The prosecution argued that the commonwealth should not be entailed with the burden of idle threats that might or might not have been made by irresponsible par ties, and that this character of proof could not be offered in justification of the course of those who had posses sion of the building. The court ruled that the witness might relate any specific threat which he himself heard, but that he could not tell of common rumor or threats which had come to him second hand. The defense reserv ed an exception to this ruling. Stenographer Stout, who was on the stand when the court adjourned at noon, continued his testimony. He told of Youtsey coming into the ex ecutive office carrying a rifle a few minutes after the shooting. Governor Taylor was not armed when he first came into the office, but went back and got a pistol. Wharton Golden was recalled for the third time and was asked if he had told J. M. Owens in the presence of J. C. Owens that Powers was innocent, but that "they could take SIOO,OOO and hang the savior and all of the apos tles." Golden said he never said it to Owens or any one else. J. M. Owens was then called, but the court excluded the greater part of his testimony, on the ground that the de fense had examined Golden on this matter. Arrested on Embezzlement Charge. Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 7. —George M. Stanley, former treasurer of the Econ omy Building Association society, was arrested yesterday afternoon and held in |4,000 bail on the charge of ap propriating $3,285.09 belonging to the association.

Commander Taussig I .in « lteport to Washington, Places the l.om of the United Forcea In Killed and Wounded nt Twelve Hundred. London, Aug. 7.—"The advance of the allied forces commenced today," cables the British consul at Tien Tsin, under date of Aug. 4. This is the first official information received here that the attempt to relieve Pekin has be gun. It is accepted as correct. The British consul does not mention any fighting, but the Shanghai corre spondent of The Daily Mail, telegraph ing Sunday, says:"The Pekin relief column is reported to have suffered a check. The Chinese are said to have adopted Tugela tactics and, after sev eral hours of fighting, to have re treated." This is the only message received in London this morning bearing out the reports of Admiral Remey and Com mander Taussig regarding an engage ment at Peitsang. The fact that the advance did not begin until Saturday is taken to strengthen the accounts of a battle Sunday. In the same cablegram, which was read in the house of commons, the consul at Tien Tsin says: "News from the Japanese legation has been received up to Aug. 1." Therefore, the edicts announcing the safety of the ministers on that date are confirmed. Yesterdaiy the Chinese minister. Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, communi cated to Lord Salisbury a message from the tsung-li-yamen, dated July 30, reiterating the statement that the ministers were safe on that day and recounting the friendly relations ex isting between them and the yamen, as well as reporting the sending of supplies to the legations by the yamen. The message contains this important statement: "A successful termination of the conference with the ministers for their conveyance under escort to Tien Tsin is expected, but, on account of the re commencement of hostilities at Tien Tsin, code telegrams for transmission to the representatives are considered undesirable." This appears to confirm the state ment that the Chinese government will endeavor to stop the march to Pekin by using the ministers as hostages. The Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, pub lishing an interview with Li Hung Chang, quotes him as declaring em phatically that China must not, in any circumstances, cede any more territory to any power. In reply to a question why the rebellion was not put down, Earl Li is represented as having said: "I blame Prince Tuan, the empress dowager and the whole Pekin govern ment. But for their lack of energy the situation would never have become so serious." The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Daily Mail says: "Active negotiations are proceedings between Russia and the United States, the probable outcome of which will be a resolution to uphold the integrity of China unconditionally." A Shanghai correspondent of the same paper says that the Americans there are urging the appointment of Gen. Mac Arthur as commander-in chief of the allied forces. The Standard's Shanghai representa tive, wiring Sunday, says: "It is clear that the march to the relief of Pekin will be anything but a walkover. Japanese scouts have dis covered a large force of Chinese soufh west of Tien Tsin and another large force in the vicinity of Lu Tai, to the eastward. "It is learned now that the members of the tsung-li-yamen who were put to death for their alleged pro-foreign proclivities were not beheaded, but were cut in twain, this being the se verest penalty under the Manchu code. Sheng declares that the grand council at Pekin was ignorant of the orders for the execution. A Shanghai special, dated Aug. 6, Bays: "Li Hung Chang has officially informed the consuls that the minis ters left Pekin for Tien Tsin last Fri day, Aug. 3, with Gen. Yung Lu in command of the escort. The consuls are by no means disposed to credit Earl Li's statement. All other reports that have reached London up to this hour indicate that the ministers have not left Pekin." HEAVY I.OSS OF THE ALLIF.S. Commander Tauiilv Reports Twelve Hundred Killed and Wounded. Washington. Aug. 7.—The announce ment received through Admiral Re mey and Commander Taussig of re ported heavy fighting on the road be yond Tien TBin was the news of inter est in the Chinese situation yesterday. Little doubt was expressed at the navy department that the news was sub stantially correct. It Is probable that a later report may reduce the list of casualties among the international forces, but it is evident that the move on Pekin is at last fairly under way. and that strong opposition has been en countered. The first dispatch, received from Commander Taussig, of the York town. was dated Chefoo, Aug. 6, and was as follows: "British Fame reports, unofficial, en gagement at Peitsang Sunday morning, 3 to 10.30. Allied loss, killed and wounded, 1,200, chiefly Russians and Japanese. Chinese retreating" Health in Every Drop.

About 16,000 allies heavily engaged Chinese at Peitsang daylight of the sth." Peitsang is the first railroad station about eight miles northwest of Tien Tein, on the way to Pekin. Opinion among the various officials now in Washington is somewhat di vided as to Just what is presaged by yesterday's events. The more optim istic are inclined to think that such a severe blow as the Chinese must have received at Peitsang will result in the speedy disintegration of the forces now opposing the march of the international column. In line with this prediction it was prohesied that the Chinese gov ernment would find means to send the ministers from Pekin under escort, and thus stave off the advance upon the capital. On the other hand there were a number of officers, in a position to judge equally well, who held that the fight at Peitsang was only the begin ning of a strenuous resistance that would be continued to the gates of Pekin or beyond. It was urged in sup port of this view that the Chinese had a hundred men to lose against one of the allies; that they were all well armed with modern guns and had ap parently an abundance of ammunition. It is stated that a considerable ap prehension exists among those conver sant with Oriental affairs at the re appearance in Pekin politics of that rabid anti-foreign fanatic, Li Ping Hung. It is understood that his ap pearance in Pekin affairs may have had something to do with the Shanghai rumors of Li Hung Chang's suicide. It is certain that, Li Ping Hung and Prince Tuan in control of the de facto government in China, a religious war of dervish like fanaticism probably will be waged against all foreigners, and friends of the more liberal Chinese statesmen are exceedingly anxious as to their fate under the Tuan-Li regime. Ciilian 'lViU'licm to Visit President. Washington, Aug. 7.—The delegation of Cuban school teachers, numbering about 1,400, now receiving a course of instruction in English branches at Harvard university, will visit this city on the 18th inst. for the purpose of paying their personal respects to the president and to inspect public insti tutions and attractions of the national capital. The government defrays all their traveling expenses to and from Cuba, and the entire expense connect ed with their sojourn in Massachusetts is being defrayed out of a fund of near ly SIOO,OOO contributed by citizens of Boston, and it is probable that the ex pense of the trip to Washington and then to New York will be met out of the same fund. The president will come to Washington to receive the teachers. The Alabama Flection. Birmingham. Ala., Aug. 7. —A gen eral state election for state and county officers and for members of the general assembly was held in Alabama yes terday and a large majority was re turned for the Democratic ticket, headed by William J. Samford, of Lee county, who will be inaugurated as governor on Dec. 1. The Republicans, Populists and Prohibitionists had tickets in the field, but returns so far indicate victory for the Democrats by an overwhelming majority. The Pop ulists and Republicans will together possibly have 12 of the 133 members of the legislature, a loss of about 50 per cent. Confessed to KillinK HI" Aunt. Brandenburg, Aug. 7. —The horribly mutilated body of Mrs. Annie Brunton, a 35-year-old widow, was found on the Cedar Grove road yesterday. Blood stains on the fingers of Mrs. Brunton's nephew, Jesse Durnham. caused his arrest, and he later confessed the mur der and was hurried to Louisville by Sheriff Hagan, as a lynching seemed certain. Durnham killed Mrs. Brun ton with a hickory club while they were returning from a church wedding. He is 27 years old and recently left an insane a6ylum. He declares Mrs. Brun ton had been talking about him and got him into trouble. flnltimorc Ntpvciliirra on Strike. Baltimore, Aug. 7. —All the union stevedores in Baltimore, numbering about 2,500, went on strike yesterday because the steamship agents refused to agree to employ no more non-union men. The trouble began several days ago, when Patterson, Ramsay & Co., of the Johnson line, were fined SSO by the stevedores' union for employing non-union men. This fine the firm re fused to pay, and the stevedores claim that the other steamship agents united with the firm in question to employ non-union men and break up the union. A large number of non-union men are at work. To Rfilurr I'iK Iron Production. Cleveland.

Aniline the I'rismicr# la Mrs. l,ncy Parwona. Whose Ilualinnil Wna Ex ecuted For Complicity in the Hny murket Massacre. Chicago, Aug. 6. —An anarchist riot occurred ve-storday noon at the corner of TwelLii and Halstead streets, in which 25 people were bruised in a struggle with 45 police. Five persons were arrested, among them being Mrs. Lucy Parsons, widow of Albert R. Par sons, who was executed Nov. 11, 1887, in Chicago, for aiding and abetting the bomb throwing in the Haymarket riot. She was charged with disorderly con duct, obstructing the street and resist ing an officer. Her bail was fixed at $l,lOO. The others arrested were Paul Van Dree, Clement Pfuentzner, Her man Goodman and Abraham E. Del stadt, charged with distributing incen diary literature and disorderly conduct. All were released on bail. A mass meeting had been called at West Side Turner Hall, at which speeches were to be made by Mrs. Par sons and others on the topic, "The Execution of the King of Italy." The call concluded: "Workmen, come in crowds and show that the feeling of brotherhood is strong among you." Mrs. Parsons was on her way to the hall, but finding it had been closed by the police she stepped into a door way nearby. Soon a crowd formed and a police officer, pushing through the throng, caught a glimpse of Mrs. Par sons. Thinking she was making an anarchistic speech, he endeavored to disperse the crowd. His efforts were in vain and the officer sent in a call for reinforcements. Additional officers ar rived and immediately a general fight was precipitated. It is claimed Mrs. Parsons resisted arrest, and her asso ciates fought for her. Bricks were thrown, clubs were wielded and a fierce struggle ensued before the crowd was finaliy dispersed. A number of chil dren in the crowd were knocked down in the melee and trampled upon, but none were injured seriously. C'rookn Defy Minucnota Law. St. Paul.

Y., July 6.—Joseph Alex ander, of New York city, a civil en gineer employed on the New Jersey di vision of the Pennsylvania railroad, was drowned hear here Saturday night.
