ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES
Chinese Resistance Not Now
Very Determined.
London, Aup. 15.— I There is practically
nothing new concerning the column mov
ing to the relief of Peking except the re
port from M. Doumer, governor of ludo-
Chinn. that it is within DS miles of the
capital und a Times dispatch from St.
Petersburg, dated Aug. 14, stating that
after occupying 110-si-wu on Aug. 0
the allies have now moved toward Mu
chung without meeting with any great
opposition. The artillery is being moved
forward satisfactorily despite the bail
roads, which the Japanese are repairing.
The Chinese are now concentrated at
Ilsiang-ho-sieu, where fighting may be
expected.
According to General Lenevich's re
port, which has been received at St. Pe
tersburg, the vanguard which left Ynng
tsun on Aug. 7 for Nan-tsai-tun was
not wholly Japanese, as was stated, but
included Russian infantry, Cossacks and
an American mountain battery. Not
withstanding the almost impassable
rouds, the troops made a forced march
of nine miles toward Peking. They en
countered at Nan-tsai-tun a Chinese de
tachment, which they put to ignominious
tiight. After an hour and a half's light
ing the enemy threw down their arms
und fled in a panic toward Peking.
As soon as General Lenevich learned
of this all th allies began to advance in
three columns, with Cossack scouts in
the van and on the flanks.

Exodus of Chinese.
St. Paul, Aug. 15.—For the past two
weeks numbers of Chinese have gone
west from this city on their way to their
native land. The reason for this exodus,
as given by one of those? en route, is that
an imperial edict has been issued order
ing their return. According to his state
ment the edict applies only to Chinamen
who have families or relatives in the
empire, and these relatives, he adds, are
being held as hostages to insure the re
turn of Chinamen who have emigrated.

Him to Leave Peking.
HI3 LATEST OAELE KEPT SEOEET.
Anxiety ut WUNIII nit toil 1M Again
Aro lined by u Jlennnge From the
American Minister \Yliicli the State
Deport IIICIUM ITCFUSCM to l'likliith.
Washington, Aug. 15.—News of a scri
ms character regarding the situation of
:lie foreigners in Peking came to the
date department yesterday iu u cipher
iispatch from Mr. Conger, the United
States minister to China. The govern
incut otliciais declined to make the dis
jateh public, and the reason may possi
bly be found in Mr. Conger's statement
;hat the Chinese government was trying
;o force him to leave Peking. This re
jection on the good faith of the imperial
luthoritics brought to the otliciais the
grave fear that after all the efforts of
lie powers, when relief was so near at
land, the allies might arrive at the Chi
lese capital too late to save the diplo
matic representatives and those iu their
;are from massacre at the hands of their
fanatical enemies.
While hopeful that the allies are by this
liine ut the gates of Peking, the govern
ment deemed it wise to take no chances
in regard to the carrying out of the ar
rangements to rescue the foreigners, and
I lie secretary of war, after a conference
with President McKinley over the long
distance telephone line between the
White House and the president's Canton
residence, telegraphed instructions to Ma
jor General Chaffee at Tung Chow to
hurry up the advance and relieve the
members of the legation without delay.
The substance of Mr. Conger's message
was given in bis telegram to General
Chaffee.
Mr. Conger suys, after stating that the
Chinese government is trying to force
him to leave the capital, that he has re
fused to go. He says also that the situa
tion is most critical. Whether Mr. Con
ger intended his reference to the coercive
efforts of the Chinese authorities to up
ply to himself personally or to the entire
diplomatic body is not known, but he
used the words "force me." It is pre
sumed here that the Chinese government
is endeavoring to compel all the minis
ters to leave the capital under a Chinese
escort, as there would be uo object in
singling out Mr. Conger.
The Peking date of the message is not
known even to the officials who have
read it. They say that it is of uucertuiu
date. They issued the following bulletin
concerning it;
"The department of state announces
that a message from Minister Conger
has been received, but of uncertain date
arid not in reply to the telegram sent to
liiiu on Aug. 8. It will not be made pub
lic."
MfNSRKe Cnme Through Wn.
The message came to the government
in the usual way, through Chinese chan
nels. It was not prefaced by the cus
tomary amount of introduction from the
tsung-li-ynmen. It was forwarded, as
all Chinese official messages from Peking
are now sent, to Yuan Shih Kal, gov
ernor of Shnngtung, at Tsinan and was
sent by him to the taotai of Shanghai,
who cabled it to Minister Wu Ting Fang
in Washington. It bore tin- Shanghai
date of Aug. 14. Minister Wu received
it about noon and sent it to the state
department by Mr. Chung Mun Yew,
the secretary interpreter of the Chinese
legution. Mr. Chung delivered it to Act
ing Secretary of State Adee, who, as
soon as the dispatch had been translat
ed from the cipher, hurried to the office
of the secretary of war and showed it
to Mr. Root. During the afternoon there
were several conferences between Mr.
Root and Mr. Adee, and later Mr. Root
read the message to the president over
the long distance telephone. As a re
sult of the conference between the pres
ident and the secretary of war the in
structions to General Chaffee were sent.
The advices from Mr. Conger have
caused the keenest anxiety after the
feeling of hope that prevailed for sev
eral days. It is realized here that China
must declare her intention toward tlie
powers very soon. The attempt to keep
the allies out of Peking by force of arms
would mean war, and the allies by this
time may have fought a battle witli the
imperial forces, a battle that will place
China at war with the civilized world.
But the officials have felt confident that
when the crisis came the Chinese gov
ernment would he only too willing to
compromise on the basis of the sugges
tion sent to General Chaffee by Secre
tary Root that a sufficient number of the
allies he permitted to enter Peking and
take the foreigners therefrom. This
scheme successfully accomplished would
probably mean an end to the existing
hostilties, and China and the powers
would then be nble to arrange their dif
ferences by diplomatic negotiations. This
feeling has changed in some degree, how
ever, on account of Mr. Conger's mes
sage.
British Knvoy'n MONMHKTI' ICept Secret.
London, Aug. 15.—The Chinese min
ister in London yesterday transmitted to

C. P. HUNTINGTON DEAD.
Aged Itnihvay Himnntc Expires Sud
denly.
New York. Aug. 15.—Collis Potter
Huntington, president of the Southern
Pacific railroad, died of heart disease at
Pine Knot Lodge, his luxurious camp
in the Adirondacks, at midnight Mon
day. He was 79 years of age.
Ilis death removes a notable figure
from the forefront of America's great
characters. He was one of the last sur
vivors of the men who blazed n way
across the continent and actually made
California a part of the Union and a
sister state of New York.
When lie went to the Golden Gate in
1849 byway of Panama, he walked 20
times from one end of the isthmus to the
other, trading, to make the capital by
which 50 years later he was enabled to
ride over 5,000 miles of railroad in his
private ear. lie made the United States
his partner and was well known in
Washington, where he got what he want
ed and boasted of it.
Ilis fortune is variously estimated at
from $50,000,000 to $50,000,000. Direct
ly or indirectly he had 50,000 men un
der him. In manner he was quick and
decisive. lie was self educated and did
not believe in the higher education. All
his life was spent in work. Ilis end
came suddenly. Wall street was not af
fected, so well were his stocks protected.

Plot to Kill Leopold.
Antwerp, Aug. 15. —Three individuals
in a low cafe on the quay were over
heard Monday night discussing the pos
sibility of an attempt on the life of
King Leopold in Brussels. One of them,
Carlo Auito by name, offered money to
the youngest of the party in an effort to
induce him to commit the crime. The
police were nt once warned, but before
they could arrest the anarchists the lat
ter had all got away. Anarchist placards
have also been posted during the night
on the boulevards .and streets, but the
police have as yet no definite clew as to
their origin. Unusual precautions are
being taken owing to the undeniable
restlessness of the anarchist population.
The police throughout the country have
been ordered to be doubly vigilant and
to make n special report lo the govern
ment concerning all strangers recently
settled in Belgium.

by a desire to be in the capital for the
consideration of some business that can
bo more conveniently disposed of there
than here.

Manila, Aug. 15.—Reports from the
Yisayas islands show that there has been
increased activity among the insurgents
during the last six weeks.
Tlie American losses in the island of
Pauuy last month were greater than in
any month since February last.
General Mojica, in Leyte, and General
Lucban, in Samur, are harassing the gar
risons, shooting into the towns during the
night and ambushing small parties, tiring
and then retiring upon the larger bodies.
The rebels possess an ample supply of
ammunition and are organized to a con
siderable degree.
The Americans have garrisoned three
towns on Samar island, two of which
shelter a tenth of the original inhabitants
who suffer from the continual "sniping"
of the rebels from the surrounding hills.
The third is without any-native inhab
itants, the rebel outposts a mile away
preventing their return to their homes.
General Lucban punishes the islanders
who have any relations with the Ameri
cans. Cebu is likewise disturbed.
Barring those who have taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States, the
rebels are imprisoned in Manila. When
amnesty was proclaimed, it practically
was without effect, and the expectation
that the proclamation would accomplish
much in the unexpired time is daily di
minishing.
The banks, under government pressure,
have restored the exchange rate of two
Mexican silver dollars to one gold Amer
ican dollar. General Mac Arthur lias or
dered the acceptance of American money
for'nil public dues at the above rate.
General Wright, Major Mans and oth
ers have returned from a trip to Benguet
province, whew they recommend the im
mediate establishment of a convalescent
hospital. Benguet is tranquil.
The Philippine commission, it is now
announced, will make all future civil
service appointments.
Several minor engagements occurred
last week in Luzon. The rebels used
smokeless powder, which they must nec
essarily have obtained by filibustering.
Senator IIIKIIIIN Dying:.

cians were consulted and advised agaiust
liis leaving Las Vegas.
Yellow Fever In Havana.
Havana, Aug. 15.—The official report
regarding the progress of yellow fever
during July shows 59 deaths for the
month, a total below the average of nor
mal years. Taking the average for the
decade from 1885 to 1895 the July mor
tality record was 54. The principal fac
tor at present is the number of nonim
munes. Last year upward of 25,000
immigrants came to Havana, or three
times the normal number. The norma!
death rate in proportion to the number
of nonimmune immigrants works out at
about 4.2 per thousand from 1885 to
1895. Last year the death rate from
yellow fever was about 1.2 per eqnt.
Another AMNIIMMI nntion Plot.
London. Aug. 15.—"The real reason of
the strained relations between Rouinania
and Bulgaria," says a special dispatch
from Vienna, "is the recent discovery of
n plot laid by the revolutionary commit
tee in Sofia to assassinate King Charles
of Rouinania while attending the requiem
for King Humbert at Bucharest. The
police got wind of the plot and warned
King Charles, who did not .attend the
service. Two women well known in Rou
manian society and a number of Bulga
rians have been arrested in Bucharest.
Notwithstanding this, the Bulgarian gov
ernment declines to interfere with the
revolutionary committee."
