New KIIIK and Qnecn Have Landed
In Italy.
Rome, Aug. I.—The new sovereigns of
Itnly landed at Reggie, in the province
of Oaiabria, yesterday morning, disem
barking from the yacht Vein. They
started at once for Naples, where the
ministers and several senators nud dep
uties intended to meet them, but the
king declined to see any one or discuss
affairs of state until after having joined
his mother and seen the body of the late
inonurch.
Two squadrons of cavalry have been
sent to Mouzn. The burial place has
not yet been decided on. It rests with
the new king to choose whether it will be
in the Pantheon in Rome or in the vault
of the royal family of Italy iu Turin.
Signor Verdi, in spite of his great age.
is composing a requiem mass to be used
at the funeral.
All the Italian troops have taken the
oath of allegiance to the new king amid
the appluuse of the people. Perfect tran
quillity reigns throughout the country.
In the absence of the new king the
ministry issued in his name this mani
festo to the nation:
"King Victor Emmanuel 111 in as
cending the throng has to perform the
painful duty of announcing to the coun
try the awful calamity which has vio
lently cut short the valuuble life of
King Humbert.
"The nation, wounded in its sincere af
fection for the august dead and in a sin
cere feeling of devotion and adhesion to
the dynasty, while execrating the cruel
crime, will be plunged into profound
grief for the venerated memory of a
good, brave ami magnanimous king, the
pride of his people and the worthy per
petuator of the traditions of the house
of Savoy. By rallying with unshakable
loyalty around his august successor Ital
ians will prove by their deeds that their
institutions do not die."
The new king received the first news
of the assassination of his father by
semaphore from a torpedo boat which
had been sent in search of him and pre
ceded the royal yacht into port.

MINISTER CONGER SAFE
Dispatch From Him Dated July
22 Received at Tien-tsin.
SIXTY FOBEIQNERS ABE DEAD.
Situation In Pckinsc Described In
Report to Japantnie Government,
Rumors of an Immediate Advance
of Allied Forces.
Washington, Aug. I.—Adjutant Gener
al Corbin lute last night received a dis
patch from Lieutenant Colonel Coolidge,
commanding the Ninth infantry at Tien
tsin. It came byway of Chefu and is
as follows:
"Tien-tsin, July 27.—Following letter
of Lieutenant Colonel Shiba. military at
tache at the legation of Peking, dated
July 25, arrived at Tien-tsin the 25th at
9 o'clock in the evening:
"'Peking, July 22, Evening.—We are
all awaiting impatiently arrival of re
enforcing army. When are you coining?
All legations have been blockaded since
13th of lust month, and since the 20th
we have been attacked continually night
and day by the Chinese soldiers from
more than ten encumpments. By a su
preme effort we are still defending. We
are daily awaiting with the greatest anx
iety arrival of re-enforcing army, and if
you can't reach here in less than a week's
time it is probable that we will be un
able to hold out any longer. Emperoi
and empress dowager appear to be still
at Peking. Were our re-enforcements
tb arrive very probable that they would
flee to Wau Shoshan. Killed and wound
ed up to date eight killed, one a captain
of infantry aud an embassador's at
tache; seven seriously wounded, the first
secretary of the legation being one of 20
slightly wounded. The number of Eu
ropeans killed is 00 in all.' "
The war department has also received
two cablegrams from Colonel Daggett.
The first read:
"Tien-tsin, July 27.—Message just re
ceived from Conger says since 10th by
agreement no firing. Have provisions
several weeks, little ammunition, all safe,
well.
"I (Daggett) report allied forces soon
advance. Practically no looting by
Americans, no unnecessary killing. In
diana arrived 20th. Order MacCann,
Sludeu, both Aliens, Mitchell aud Bryce
join regiment here."
The second read:
"Tieu-tsiu, July 30.—Flintshire arriv
ed 27th. Two hundred aud fifty-seven
Ninth infantry sick; 10 doctors, 100 hos
pital corps men, 20 signal luen needed.
Unavoidable delay unloading transports.
Foreign troops arriving."
The Flintshire and the Indiana are th*
transports which carried the Fourteenth
infantry aud Reilly's battery from Ma
nila to Taku. Colonel Daggett's refer
ence to looting indicates that he believed
that the government had full particulars
of the scenes that took place iu Tien-tsii
after the native city fell, but no details
of the looting of the place have come tc
the government officially. Admiral Re
mey in u dispatch received lust week
said that the American marines did not
participate in the plundering of the Chi
uese quarter.
Another Edict,
A dispatch from Chefu, dated July 27
says:
"This morning at the request of th
admirals of the allied forces, United
States Consul Fowler telegraphed to tin
governor of Shaugtuug that the repre
eentatives of the powers desired to get
direct news from the various legations
at Peking. The governor iu reply saio
that he hud received an edict of the em
peror dated July 24 which announced
that the legations were well supplied
with provisions. He added that he be
lieved that the ministers hud been re
lleved of their past distress and request
ed Mr. Fowler to make this announce
ment to the admirals and the represents
tivos of the powers at Chefu."
The following dispatch from General
Chaffee, received Monday night, was
given out by the war department yester
day morning. It is dated Chefu, July 30
"Have had interview with admiral
Go ashore this afternoon. Facilities fot
unloading not adequate, therefore dis
charging slowly. Informed Byron has
ordered tug for towing 70 ton lighters. It
tug is obtained, discharging will improve.
Indiana will finish discharging today aud
proceed to Nagasaki; take two days to
unload horses Reilly's battery; week be
fore Grant discharged of cargo. Will see
Daggett tomorrow.
"Reported in Taku bay intention to
make forward movement tomorrow to
ward Peking. Details are not known
here. Arrive Tien-tsin too late tomorrow
to cable from there. Message from Tien
tsin must leave Tong-ku 0 morning to
catch dispatch boat at anchorage for Che
fu at 4 afternoon. Soon as possible will
get definite information as regards con
ditions and purposes at Tien-tsin. Will
cable my views."
The Japanese consul at Tien-tsin tele
graphed on the 27th inst, a dispatch dat
ed the 10th from the Japanese minister
at Peking to the foreign office at Tokyo
which had reached Tien-tsin by special
courier on the 25th. The minister says:
"The Japanese marines and others con
tinue under the command of the military
attuehe, Lieutenant Colonel Shiba, to re
sist the repented attacks of Tung Full
Siang's troops. I think we can hold out,
though the task is by uo means an easy
one, until Ave are relieved by the division
of Japanese troops which, I hear through
a special messenger, will arrive at Tien
tsin by the end of this month. The Chi
nese hnve stopped firing since the 15tli,
and the Chinese authorities are apparent
ly disposed to open negotiations.
"Attache Kojima, Captain Ando of the
imporial army, Mr. 11. Nakainura and
five marines have been killed, Avhile Na
rabarn, second secretary of the legation,
u student, and six marines have been
wounded, though not mortally. Many
others have also been slightly wounded."
Early Advance Hoped For.
The authentic dispatches from diplo
matic representatives in Peking, showing
clearly the position of tin- besieged lega
tions, have made it appear to this gov
ernment that there must be no more
delay on the part of the allied forces at
Tieu-tsin in beginning their work of res
cue. Officials here expect the allies' to
start at once. They cannot believe that
foreign governments will fail to direct
their military commanders on Chinese
soil to push forward immediately if they
feel that rescue is possible with the
present strength of the allied forces.
For weeks this government lias insisted
that the relief column start for the capi
tal, but it did not feci justified in making
a formal request of the powers to that
effect. It did, however, hint to the Euro*
pean governments and Japan that the
Longer message of July 18 was sufficient
to justify expedition in the relief move
ment, but was laughed at —diplomatic-
llly, of course —for its pains.
Then the foreign commanders set July
10 as the date for the advance from
Tientsin, but afterward decided thut
their forces were too small to meet the
Lblnese army. The government then felt
that it hud done all that could be done
:o hasten the movement. At the same
time it was conscious of the greater ad
vantage possessed in Tien-tsin of judging
the requirements of the situation and de
termined that it would take no further
letiou until a report had been received
from Major General Cliaffee. While
General Chaffee's report has not come,
the authorities hero feci that the gov
ernments of Germany, Great Britain und
Jupuu have sufficient ground in the mes
sages from their representatives in E'e-
Idng to urge their commanders at Tien
tsin to make haste. In the opinion of tITe
government the forward movement can
uot begin too soon if the powers have re
gard for the lives of their diplomats and
other representatives and the women
and children who have suffered so terri
bly for more than a month.
This government holds to its position
that there shall be no parley with the
Chinese. No thought will be given to any
proposition from China until Minister
Conger bus been placed in full and free
communication with the stnte depart
ment. Even should this be done, the gov
ernment will not hastily stop its troops
from advancing on Peking. It regards
the rescue of its minister, its marines, i f s
missionaries and the American women
und children as of primary importance,
and the present disposition i to accom
plish that first ami to talk, if need be,
afterward. The conviction is growing
thnt an attempt to compromise will be a
useless waste of time, and therefore the
allies should not be stopped in their ad
vance while negotiations are in progress
between the Chinese and the powers.
A report from General Chaffee, giving
his views of the military situation, is ex
pected toduy. The government is willing
to depend on what General Chaffee says,
and his views are therefore looked for
ward to with intense interest. That he
will report that an immediate advance
will be justified is the expectation here,
based, perhaps, on knowledge of the
character of General Chaffee's instruc
tions.
As to the diplomatic situation, the gov
ernment cannot find anything in the offi
cial dispatches from Peking to foreign
governments to change its position that
a state of war does not exist.

Shanghai, Aug. I.—Private advices
from New Chwang. dated July 27. say
that the Hussans attacked the Chinese
settlements yesterday morning. The en

BROCKWAY RESIGNS.
End of the Elmira lleformutory
Fight.
Elmira, N. Y., Aug. I.—Zchulon R.
Brockway tendered his u'siguntion to the
board of managers yc.Werday morning,
but the news was not given to the public
until late in the afternoon. The resigna
tion is to take effect in December next
and was accepted, and at the request of
Mr. Brockway he was granted a leave of
absence for the next five months.
Brockway's resignation is us follows:
"For personal reasons, including that of
my advancing age, I hereby tender niy
resignation of the office of general super
intendent of the Elmira reformatory, to
take effect in the month of December
next."
Transfer Officer Ilugli Brockway, broth
er of the superintendent, also tendered
his resignation, which was couched in
language similar to that of his brother.
Dr. Frank W. Robertson, late of Belle
vue hospital, New York city, and for
some months past the senior resident phy
sician ol' the reformatory, has been ap
pointed acting general superintendent,
which means that he will be Brockway's
successor when his term as acting super
intendent ceases.
Dr. Robertson, the new superintendent,
is 32 years of age and was born in Owe
go, N. Y. He refuses at this time to dis
cuss his plans for conducting the reform
atory further than to say that he will
defer to the wishes of the board of man
agers with regard to the matter of corpo
ral punishment, which means that there
will be none.
Sullivan Defeat* Dixon.
New York, Aug. I.—Tommy Sullivan,
a little Brooklynite featherweight, fur
nished a big surprise ut the Coney Is
land Sporting elub last night by lighting
George Dixon to a standstill in six
rounds. Dixon was in n bad way. Ilis
body was sore, and his loft arm wifb
practically useless. Rather than see the
former great little colored fighter knock
ed out Tom O'Rourke refused to allow
Dixon to come out for the seventh round.
Then Johnny White, the referee, amid
cheers and blowing of horns, declared
Sullivan the winner. Dixon was in poor
physical condition, and his judgment of
distance was bad. He was a long way
from being in fighting form. Had the
fight continued Dixon would undoubted
ly have been knocked out.
Politician Slain From Amhn*h.
Johnson City, Teun., Aug. I.—Michael
Byrd, a prominent farmer living near
Magnetic City, N. ('., was assassinated
from ambush. He died a few hours after
haviug been fired upon. No clew has yet

political enemies. It is said he was as
sassinated within 20 feet of the place
where he killed a man four years ago.
