to be hoped that the house would
take this evidence as it was offered

great Importance must not be forgot

MINISTER DEABY REPORTS Good Progress in Investigating 52s Cheng Tu Riots AND AN ESCORT APPOINTED To Accompany the Commission on Its Over
 land Journey WHOLESALE LIBERATION OF RIOTERS
  Implicated in the Kucheng Massacre Re- ported to the Pall Mall Gazette.
 The Lite of Marquis Ito =@ Is Threatened.
 
AND AN ESCORT APPOINTED
WHOLESALE LIBERATION OF RIOTERS

Washington, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch re- ceived al. the state department from Min ister Denby this morning shows good progress has been made in the matter of the investigation of the Cheng Tu riots and that the Chinese officials have di- rected necessary assistance to be given the American commissioners. The dis patch states that the Yeman have tele- graphed the authorities of Pich Chile, Shausi and Sheus to appoint an officer and escort the commission. These three provinces comprise territory about 400 miles in length, through which the com mission must pass on its overland jour ney from Tin Tsin to Cheng Tu. It is now believed that the commission will get to work in about six weeks.
 The second part of MT. Denbys dis patch is not altogether clear. The state ment is made that an edict will be issued in a few days punishing officials and de grading the viceroy. MT. Denby says he will cable this fact as soon as it is an nounced. r. is not understood here that the viceroy of the province in which the Kucheng riots occurred was implicated in any way and the degradation can hardly apply to that viceroy. The French gov ernment has, however, implicated Vice roy Liu in the Cheng Tu riots and the degradation Is supposed to refer to him, notwithstanding the fact that the Amer ican commission has not reached Cheng Tu and commenced its search for facts in connection with the missionary out rage.
