MlNTYRE's MENTAL CONDITION.

irresponsible State.
Denver, Oct 6.-When the courtmar-
tial trial of Chaplain Mcintyre of the
battleship oregon was called to order
this morning, DR.. Wilson, the attend
ing physician of the accused, announced
that his patient was suffering from
nervous prostration, which made it i'm
possible for him to appear in court.
Restorative remedies were being ad-
ministered however, and he might be
able to appear by II o'clock. Court took
recess until that hour.
Upon reaSsem bling of the court, the
chaplain was in his seat. DR.. w. E.
Wilson, who testified as an expert yes
terday, gave further expert testimony.
He gave the opinion that the condition
of Chaplain McIntyre's nerves when he
reached Denver, or the effect of is
grains of quinine or of an ounce of
brandy would have had a tendency to
incapacitate the chaplain for connected
and orderly mental activity.
At the afternoon session, Attorneys
Doud and Cranston, for the defense, ar
gued the question as to the competency
of testimony proposed to be introduced
by the prosecution for the purpose of
impeaching the credibility of the de-
PENDANT. The judge advocate has asked
the chaplain about conversations ne has
held prior to the date of the lecture,
the purpose being to prove that he had
previously made statements similar to
those alleged to have been made in the
lecture.
Chaplain Mcintyre denied the alleged
conversations and the prosecution in
dicated the intention of introducing
evidence to contradict his testimony
The attorneys for the defense took the
ground that such evidence was i'm
proper A long argument followed.
The court overruled the objection and
then adjourned for the day.

London, Oct. THE Hongkong cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs the
substance IF a long interview he had
with Kang Yu Wei. the Cantonese re-
former in which the latter recounteo
the history of the crisis. Kang Yu We
said that on June 16 he had a two
hours audience with the emperor, who
anxious about the Russian encFoach-
ments, was ready to listen to any plan
TO secure the integrity of the empire
The Times correspondent continues:
Kang advised replacing the conserVa-
tive ministers by young progressiVes
and the employment of EngllShmen
and Americans to effect suggested re-
forms. The emperor admitted the Co
gency of his arguments, but expressed
his regret at being unable to remove
high officials because of the empress
dowager.
Kang then urged his majesty to
strengthen his friendship with foreign
poWerS and particularly to secure an
alliance with England. The emperor
said he realized that foreign countries
were no longer insignificant states, and
observed that il was pity his min
listers had not averted the impending
troubles. Kang says the real power
at Pekin is held by Ii Luen Yen, a
sham eunuch, and that the dowager' s
1lleglIlInaLe son, OnuNS AlluS, VIII plJb-
ably be made emperor.
On the morning of Sept. Is, Kang re-
ceived two letters from the emperor,
dated respectively Sept. 16 and II They
first represented the difficulties of his
position, the empress dowager's anger
and bis fears that he would be unable
to protect his throne, and commanded
Kang to consult with his colleagues as
to how 10 save the emperor
In the second letter, his majesty said:
''I have commanded you to superin-
tend the establishment Of an official
organ. 1t is strongly against my wish.
] have great sorrow, which l cannot
describe with ink and pen. You must
proceed Immediately outside to devise
means TO save me without a moments
delay"
Kang promptly visited the American
missionary, Timothy Richards, whom
he asked to call upon the British and
American legations. Sir Claude Nc
Donald, British minister, was at Pei
Tai-Si and the American minister, Mr.
Conger. was at 81 Shan. OminOus ru-
mors were in circulation that day and
Kang fed. He was astonished that
England protected him and he urged
the British government to take prompt
action to save the emperor.

DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION.
Secretary Hay Meets the Representa-

Washington. Oct. 6.-Secretary Hay,
by invitation, today met the diplomatic
corps at the state department. By II
o'clock, the hour appointed for the re-
ception, more than half a hundred of
the diplomatic body had assembled in
the diplomatic ante-room, all in civil
dress, except the oriental contingent.
None of the ambassadors were present,
all being out of the city.
The members of the corps took their
position in a long line, and Secretary
Hay, accompanied by Assistant Secre-
tary Adee, made his way down the line,
being introduced by the assistant sec
rotary to each of the ministers and
charges, who. in turn, presented to the
secretary their own secretaries and at
taches. From his long residence in
Washington and his experience aboard,
the secretary was already acquainted
with many of his callers, which fact
afforded opportunity for some very
pleasant personal exchanges. There
was no further ceremony connected
with the reception, which occupied less
than an hour.

Another War With Spain.

Some newspapers think the Spanish
are making secret preparations to seize
Cuba and Puerto Rico again, and get
back what they lost during the late
war We do not believe these rumors.
Enemies cannot successfully attack a
strong nation like the United States.
Neither can diseases successfully at
tack strong constitutions. If a man
has healthy stomach, disease cannot
get a foothold. The best remedy known
to science for making strong constitu-
lions is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This is that long-tried remedy which
makes the stomach healthy by making
the digestion perfect. Perfect diges-
ton makes pure blood. Pure blood
carries strength and vigor into every
corner of the body through the veins.
The Bitters are Incompatible for ner-
Vousness and sleeplessness.

EMPEROR STILL ALIVE.
Washington Authorities Do Not Con-
slider the Situation Serious.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Such informa-
ton as has reached the state depart
ment here respecting the reported death
and assassination of the Emperor OF
China goes 10 entirely discredit the
stories that he has been poisoned OF
that he is dead. 1t is not possible to
say positively Just what sources Of in
formation are available, but it is known
that they are regarded as entirely re-
liable by the state department.
Moreover, the situation generally IN
China is not believed by the depart
mcnt officials to be as serious as rep
resented and a signal mark of conf
Gence is the decision not to follow the
course of certain European govern
ments in sending at this time force OF
soldiers or marines to PelSin.
The Boston, one of the two Ameri-
can warships ordered to get as near
as possible to the disturbance, will go
as far as the Ta-Ku forts at the mouth
of the Pang Ho river, where she must
stop on account Of her draught The
little gunboat Petrol, however, is eS-
pected TO Sc so miles up the river, to
Tien Ism, and her steam launch might
proceed from that point as far as Pc
kin if necessary.
