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.

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.

formation of events in Pekin:
"After entry in Pekin was effected by
the allied troops, the Chinese troops on

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.

SUNN YWO^^
Who has not known the woman whose
disposition is described by that one word
"sunny?" There's always a laugh lurk
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house

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. Every young wife should

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

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

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."

Leavenworth, Kan.. 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.

New York. 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

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.

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.
London. Aug. 21. —The viceroy of
India. Lord Curzon, of Kedleston. tele
graphs that the heavy general rain

in the central provinces and Berar,
sowing is active elsewhere and the ne
cessity for free kitchens will shortly
disappear. Prices, however, are still
very high everywhere. Cholera is pre
valent throughout Hyderabad and in
Bombay. There are 5,688,000 people re
ceiving relief.

Pittsburg, Aug. 21.—At the instance
of the American Window Glass com

turers yesterday in a final effort to ad
just the wage scale for the coming
year. The effort was a failure and the
fiatteners are now on strike. There

the company officials claim they will
be able to start the factories on Sept. 1,
without the union men.
