MM IIII —— impress Dowager and Emperor Left Before Entry of Allies. IMPERIAL PALACE UNDER SIEGE. ! Chineiie Snlilicra Surrounded by j Troop* of Different I'owit" anil Are Making a l.n*t Stand—\i»l>l lent ion j For Penee Negotiation*. Washington, Aug. 21. —The situation at Pekin was made more clear yester day from many sources. The latest ad vice appears to be that from Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, repeating a dis >ateh received from Consul Kagsdale, i tt\Tien Tsin. The latter reports "Chi- j \eaj troops surrounded in palaeo | grounds." These dispatches from dif ferent sources established clearly that, the imperial palace and grounds were j under siege. Fowler's dispatch is the j latest to be received. This is dated the 20th, but probably that is the date on which it left Tien Tsin. The dispatches seem to make clear that the emperor and the empress | dowager have made their escape from i Pekin, and that about the only present I service of the imperial palace and j grounds is an asylum in which the de moralized Chinese soldiers are making a last stand. The Japanese legation's •' KY R' I: 'TI.KU. advices show that the banners of tho imperial cortege were seen leaving Pekin on the 12th. and that probably the empress dowager, as well as the emperor, had left the city. Consul Gen eral Goodnow advised the state depart nent that he had information from Chinese sources that the empress dow ,ger had left Pekin. The attitude which the international orces will observe toward the emperor and empress dowager is understood to have received official consideration among the powers. It is quite generally understood that there will be no per sonal indignity to the emperor or em press dowager, not because it Is felt that there is any special consideration due them, but because China would be precipitated into a chaotic condition if the responsible heads of the empire lost their functions. Admiral Remey has telegraphed a list of the casualties in the late fight ing. among whom are Lieut. Smedley D. Butler, Privates Greene and War rell. all slight. This is the second time Lieut. Butler has been wounded. The acting secretary of state make 3 public the receipt of a telegram from Consul General Goodnow, dated the 20th Inst., reporting a statement of the governor of Shan Tung, that the empress left Pekin on the 13th for Sinan Fu, in the province of Shensi, and that Princes Ching and Tuan and Viceroy Kank Yi are still in Pekin. "Sinan Fu" appears to be another pho netic version of the name of the capital of Shensi, where there is an imperial palace. Chinn's latest application for peace negotiations was received early in the day at the Chinese legation, and was transmitted by Mr. Wu to the state department. Earl Li's request is that the United States shall name Minister Conger, or some other official, to act ns peace envoy for the cessation of hostilities. He expressed his willing ness togo to such point .as the powers may desire, and under the intimations made It is thought that Pekin or Tien Tsin would lie selected for the negotia tions. The Chinese envoy proposed no terms as to the withdrawal of troops, and made no other suggestion as to what was to come before the commis sion, his sole anxiety being to secure the cessation of hostilities. The application is understood also to have been made to the other powers In the hope that if all would name .1 commissioner there would be a gen eral council of peace between Li Hung Chang on the one hand and the several representatives of the nations on the other. Aside from the fact that the conditions of AUK. 12 have not yet been complied with by China, it is probable that this government would desire to take sufficient time to learn what the other powers intend doing on the same line, as all are acting in unison. Moreover, there are some un explained features of Li Hung Chang's application, one of them being that while he asks the allies to cease hos tilities, he gives no assurance that he has the power to make the Chinese army and the rebellious Boxers cease hostilities. troi hi.(3 tiihi: vti:m:i) \t ca\t«\ Wnrnlilp Applied For In Consequence of Serious Kiotintc. London, Aug. 21. —Serious trouble is now threatened in the neighborhood ®f Canton. The Americans at Swatow, acording to The Daily Chronicle's Shanghai corespondent have applied for a warship in consequence of seri ous rioting, and the Hong Kong cor respondent of The Daily Mail says that a warship is on the way there now. "Queen Victoria has sent the follow ing message to the commandant of marines at Pekin: "I thank God that you and those under your command hitve b«»cn rescued from your perilous situation. With my people I have wait ed with the deepest anxiety for good news of your safety and the happy termination of your heroic and pro longed defense. I grieve for the losses and sufferings experienced by the be sieged." The Chinese native press, according to the Shanghai correspondent of The Times, asserts that Yu Hsien, gover nor of the Province of Shan Si, with a force of boxers is marching toward Kalgan, or Chang Kia Khou, to meet the empress dowager anil to escort her south.

Capital of China Now Wholly in the Hands of the Powers. Washington, Atig. 22.—The capital of China is now wholly in the hands o, the powers. The Chinese and Tartar cities were entered on the 15th. The Imperial City, within the walls of the Tartar City, fell either on the same day or on the 16th. Chinese troops in the Forbidden City fought obstinately till day of the 16th to prevent the cap ture of the imperial palace. The cabinet session yesterday prac tically opened the consideration of the momentous questions growing out of the capture of Pekin and the war in China. The absorbing question has been the safety of Minister Conger and the legationers at Pekin. Now, how ever, that has given place to problems of a more intricate and far reaching character, touching the very existence of the Chinese empire and the part which the American government is to take in the reconstruction of that country. The meeting was devoted entirely to the Chinese situation. Several ques tions were awaiting attention. First of these was the application of Li Hung Chang for the appointment of Minister Conger or some other com missioner to negotiate for the cessa tion of hostilities. The decision ar rived at was to reject the appeal, and a reply of this character will be sent to Minister Wu to be forwarded to Li Hung Chang. The moving cause for this action is that this government is at present very much in the dark as to whether there is any existing govern ment in China. With the capital in the hands of the allies, the emperor and empress dowager fugitives in hid ing. and the entire governmental fab ric paralyzed, there is no evidence of an authority adequate to conduct nego tiations and secure results which will be final and binding. With the recognized ruler in flight, no one seems to know who, if any body, is directing its affairs. As China is an absolute monarchy, without any legislative branch, the emperor and empress dowager are all powerful, and practically they are the empire of China. • I'nder the present remarkable conditions, the United States will act with extreme caution in whatever %eps it may take toward a solution of the pending problems. In the mean time. there is reason to believe that the United States and all other powers in terested will keep their armed forces on the ground, so that order may be maintained and at least a semblance of stable government brought out of the existing chaos. The cabinet had before it a message from Minister Conger. After the meet ing the state department made public portions of the dispatch, as follows: "Secretary of state, Washington: Saved. Relief arrived today. Entered city with little trouble. Do not know where imperial family is. Except deaths already reported, all Americans alive and well. Desperate efforts made last night to exterminate us. Mitchell, American soldier, and a Russian and Japanese, wounded. German killed.'- "The whole movement is purely a governmental one. The Boxers are only a pretense, having no guns. The confi dential adviser of the empress was the leader of the imperial troops here. The Imperial family left four days ago for Shan Si province. It is estimated that the strength of the Pekin garrison was 10,000 men. The legation was urged to leave the city under an escort of Chi nese troops, but feared treachery." It had been hoped that Minister Conger's advices, as well as those from Gen. Chaffee, would be ample by this time, in order to afford the Washing ton officials full opportunity to deal with the perplexing questions raised by the Chinese disturbances. Gen. Chaf fee has not been heard from, and the Conger message was not as complete as the authorities here had desired. HOW I'KKIV WAS F.XTKIIKD. Troop* >let With Jo* f'll Reception nt Lciffitifin Willi.

Her cheeks are ever ready to dimple in smiles. Her house hold influence is as brightening and stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing can be crueler than to have this sunshine blotted out by disease, liut this is a common cruelty. The young wife who was the sunshine of the home becomes its shadow.

Bepnrt of Capture Xot Confirmed. Envoy* En Honte to Tien Tain. London, Aug. 22. —In the news that reached London this morning direct from China there is nothing to con firm the report that the empress dow ager has been run to earth. The for eign envoys, according to the Shanghai 1 correspondent of The Daily Express, are proceeding to Tien Tsin. "The flags of the allies," says the Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Mail, wiring yesterday, "are now float ing over the imperial palate. Street fighting, however, continues. Consid erable assistance in the capture of Pekin was rendered by 1,000 armed | native Christians. The legations were j enabled to hold out by purchasing am munition front the Chinese. The Daily Express prints this morn ing a long letter, said to have been written by Vice Admiral Seymour, in which he stoutly defends his action in advancing to the relief of the le gationers when he did. Referring to the difficulties controlling mixed troops and to their characteristics, he says: "The Germans we admired most, but for dash and go, ncrte surpassed or perhaps equaled the \? h • r.s. The French had no p rti tl .r rapproach ment with any other nationality. The Germans and Russians were inclined to hold together, but the Americans were with us always." American action r. f::sing to deal with Li Hung Chang in the peace pro posal meets with unanimous approval at the hands of the morning papers. A CHINESE GEXEH AI.'S THREAT. j Commander of Northern Armiew Swear* to Murder All Foreinner*. Hong Kong. Aug. 22. —A prominent reformer has obtained from the yamen runners a letter from Gen. Yung Lu, commander-in-chief of the northern armies, to Gen. Tung Fu Sian, com manding the Kan Su troops, saying: "The foreign devils, counting their superior strength in warships and guns, have dared to exert all their power to rob and insult us, but their populations are small and entirely dependent on the Chinese productions. China now possesses cannon and rifles and plenty of well trained troops. "I dont fear the foreigners. In the case of San Mun I refused Italy, with the result that nothing was taken. It is evident the foreign devils are cow ards. I and Prince Tuan recently ob tained the help of millions of Boxers, possessing magic boldness. I swear to murder all the foreigners with the as sistance of the Boxers who are supplied with arms." Gen. Tung Fu Sian in his reply, which was also obtained, says he is of the same opinion and places the Kan Su troops at Gen. Yung Lu's disposal. Germany'* Attitude. Berlin. Aug. 22. —Referring to Li Hung Chang's latest request to Wash ington for mediation, a high official of the German foreign office said to a press correspondent: "Germany is waiting to see what answer the United States will make. If Washington is convinced that Earl Li represents any responsible Chinese government, it could of course undertake a mediatory role for the establishment of peace, but Germany is confident that, in any case, the United States will not sep arate themselves from the concert o' powers."

Aug. 21. —A pe culiarly distressing quadruple tragedy took place yesterday at Farley . a small town across the river in Mis souri. Dr. Sturley Harrington, a physi i cian, of Farley, drunk and imagining ' fancied wrongs, killed James Wallace, his uncle, a wealthy farmer; Mrs. Wil liam Wallace, Harrington's mother-in law, and .T. P. Dillingham, sheriff of Platte county, who tried to arrest him, and was in turn shot dead by Harry Dillingham, the sheriff's son. Before he was cornered by the sheriff's posse, Harrington held up the clerk in a general store at the point of his re volver and exchanged shots with the clerk, firing into a crowd of spectators, j Harrington's 12-year-old daughter was j a forced witness of the different stages of the tragedy, the physician taking her with him in his buggy as he went from place to place on his bloody er rand. Saturday night Harington quarreled 1 with his wife anil drove her from home, threatening her life. He had had ' words with James Wallace over a line fence and had been on a protracted i spree. Mrs. Harrington had not rc ' turned home yesterday and Harring • ton, repairing to Wallace's home, de manded to know where she could be j found. Wallace professed to have no | knowledge of her whereabouts, where ! at Harrington whipped out a revolver j and shot him twice, once in the head j i and once through the heart. Leaving | his victim as he lay, Harrington drove half a mile to the home of Mrs. Wil liam Wallace and again demanded to know of his wife. To Mrs. Wallace's answer that she knew nothing of Mrs. Harrington the physician shot her dead before she could make an outcry. ! Harrington drove immediately to Leavenworth, taking his little girl with him. The Wallaces were alone and no one gave chase. At Leaven worth Harrington appeared calm and collected. He purchased some cart ridges for his revolver and a 41 calibre rifle and ammunition for it. As Har rington retraced his steps the liquor j and the thoughts of his crime ap- > parently maddened him. Reaching Farley he entered William | | Shee's general store and demanded j I some money of Daniel Cannon, the i clerk. "I have only $3 and cannot let j you have that." said Cannon. "Yes, I you can. for I will pay it back," re ' plied Harington. Cannon still refused, | and Harrington drew a revolver and i demanded the money. There were a I dozen men in the store, but none made a move to interfere. The clerk turned I over the money and Harrington start- j 1 ed to leave the store. As he did so Can- j ! non seized a revolver and fired one j | shot at him. He missed, and Harring- j ton, turning quickly, emptied his re- j | volver in the direction of the crowd. \ j None of the shots took effect, but they j sufficed to keep the people at bay, and [ Harrington sauntered toward the door. Sheriff Dillingham anil his posse had been following Harrington closely, and as the murderer emerged from the t store and stood face to face with his ' pursuers, Harrington instantly raised I his weapon and fired at the sheriff, the ; ball entering Dillingham's forehead. Harington, a moment later, stepped over the body of the dying sheriff and started to run. He had gone but a few j rods when a shot from the revolver of j Harry Dillingham, son of the sheriff. I brought him to ground. Both Sheriff 1 Dillingham and Harrington died with- j in a few minutes. The cause of the shooting is said to 1 be trouble caused by Harrington's hav- j j ing been expelled from the Masonic ] I lodge of Parley. He was expelled some I time ago and charged his uncle. Jam-s ( Wallace, and Daniel Cannon with be- j ing instrumental in the proceedings. It j is said he made the threat that he i would clean out every Mason in Platte j county for this action. No reason has been ascribed for Harrington shooting | his mother-in-law except that he was crazed with liquor. The Wallaces were j among the most respected citizens of Platte. \ow York'* >1 yNt«Tlon* Mnrder. New York. Aug. 21.—Dr. Donlin, j coroner's physician, performed an an- j i topsy on the body of Katheryn Scharn, ! who was found murdered in her room on Saturday evening. He said the young woman was not hammered to | death, but was strangled. An inspector said so far as he had investigated he had found no evidence derogatory to the character of the dead girl. In his opin- j ion the murder was done by some one who was then in the girl's apartment with her knowledge. He believed this j by the lack of evidence of a struggle. The strangling of Miss Scharn was committed only a few doors away from the spot where the brutal murder of Mamie Cunningham was committed ■ several years ago.

Aug. 22. —'There was a fatal rear-end collision directly in front of the depot at Kensico, N. Y., last I night. The engineer and firem u of | the second train are buried under the debris, crushed to death. The con ductor and two brakemen of the for ward train are missing and are be lieved to be in the wreck dead. Ken sico is on the Harlem division of the New York Central, about 16 miles from this city. The collision was caused, so far as can be learned, by the engineer of the second train run ning past a block signal set against him. It is believed that seven are dead. This estimate is based only on the number of men of the train crews who are missing. The regular freight pulled into the depot about 8 o'clock. The train was southbound. The engine left the train standing upon the main tracks and went off on a siding for some cars. While this train was standing the sec ond train, an extra loaded with ice, dashed into it. The heavily loaded ice train was driven into the rear cars of the freight and the engine mounted up ward upon the cars and telescoped them. Then the cars of its own train piled up on top of it until in all about 3ft cars are heaped into a pile which towers above the railroad depot. The dead engineer can plainly be seen, but cannot be reached. His body sits on the cab seat with the hand resting on the air brake. There is so | much debris about it that even after the wrecking train gets to the scene it will be hours before the body can be reached. The wreckage is hard to clear away because of the tons of ice which are piled all over from the smashed cars. The forward train carried food stuffs, grain and live stock, a number of the latter being killed. The rails are ripped up for a dis tance of 300 feet, and trains in both directions are blocked, and probably will remain so until noon today. No cries have been heard from beneath the pile, so it is believed all of the men under it are dead. The engineer of the i ice train was William Laugerbaeh. said to be a resident of New York city. His ! fireman was John Cassidy, also said to be of New York city. One of the miss i ing brakemen was a man named Abel, but whether this was his first or last name is not ascertainable at present.

SECTIONAL HARMONY AND UNITY SJmll Continno His I'lVort* For tin* Obliteration of \fl Soclionnl llitter n 4***4 on si ItoMis Conn i*t «*n t With tli«» llonor mid Munlioo«l of All. Atlanta, Aug. 21.—Gen. John B. Cor don. Commander-in-chief of the United I Confederate Veterans, has prepared a | re; ' resolution recently adopted by a camp of Confederate veterans at New Orleans, condemning the blue and gray reunions in Atlanta, recommend ing that no more similar reunions be held and protesting against Gen. Gor don accepting an invitation to the Grand Army of the Republic reunion at Chicago. The reply follows: "To the Confederate Association of the Army of Tennessee —Comrades: A resolution recently adopted by your as sociation at the instance of Gen. Chal eron. criticising certain acts or sup posed acts of mine, entirely escaped my atention at the time of its abear ance in the public press and I have just seen it for the first time. I under stood this action of your association to mean a formal and public notice that you disapprove of my participation in the Blue and Gray meeting which re cently occurred in Atlanta; and also that it means a formal and public pro test by your association against my ac ceptance of an invitation extended to me by the Grand Army of the Republic and by the executive committee of the citizens of Chicago. "The object of this reply to your resolution is not to call in question the right of your association to criticise any official act of mine which does not meet your approval. I do wish, how ever. to state kindly, but frankly and plainly, that my own conscience and my own conception of duty must be my guide in the future as in the past. "As to the courteous and cordial in vitation of the G. A. R. and of the executive committee of Chicago citizens. I have to state that I greatly appreciate the compliment paid me by that invitation and the spirit which prompted it. Circumstances, however, rendered it impossible for me to ac cept. and I so notified the officers and committees nearly two months ago. But in this connection also I wish to say that I must be judged now and hereafter of the propriety of accepting invitations from any section of the country or any class of my fellow countrymen. "In order that there may be no pos sible misunderstanding of my position on these and all kindred matters. I re peat my sole guide must be my own convictions of duty to this whole country, and to the southern people, whose glorious record in all the past, whose traditions, dignity and honor I have endeavored to defend and up hold at all times in all sections and un der all conditions. "In conclusion, let it be definitely understood that so long as Providerfce permits me to speak or labor I shall continue the effort which I have made for 30 years in the interest of sectional harmony and unity. Whatever I can do will assuredly be done for the truth of history, for justice to the south and to all sections for foste ring our cherished memories, for the obliteration of all sectional bitterness and for the settle ment of all sectional controversies on a basis consistent with the honor and the manhood and the self respect of all." Tliri'e Droirnnl in t!»«> Surf. Cape May, Aug. 21.—Ellen Young. Salina Newhouser and Albert J. Schwab, all of Philadelphia, were drowned in the surf at Cape May Point yesterday. They were bathing, and got beyond their depth. Schwab made a noble effort to save his companions, holding their unconscious bodies above the water's surface for some time. Just as a boat which went to their rescue reached his side he loosened his grasp on the women and they sank out of sight. The women were taken ashore, and although the usual meth ods for resuscitation were resorted to they could not be brought back to life. Schwab's body was not recovered. Hetter Outlook For India.
