Washington, July 1o.-The secretary
OF state has received dispatch from
Mr. Goodnow. United States consul
general at Shanghai. stating that 1t is
given out by the governor of Shan
Tung that the legations were standing
on July and that the outlaws were
dispensing.
Mr. Goodnow adds that this state
ment does not obtain general credence.
NOTE TO THE POWERS.
The state department has finally con-
cluded to make public the identical
note which was recently delivered to
the Powers as defining the position of
the United States respecting the Chi
nese troubles.
1t is understood that this circular of
instruction was drawn up on the 3Oth
of June and transmitted TO CantNn,
Ohio. for the approval of the president,
and communicated to the Powers con-
cerned on the Sd of July.
1t embodies the views to which this
government has strictly adhered from
the very beginning to the present
troubles, and which the different pow
ers have one by one taken into favor
able consideration. 3
The view announced at the start. by
the president that we did not consider
ourselves at war with the Chinese ma
tion and that all our efforts should be
directed to localizing the disturbances
in the province of chlh-Li and keep
ing them from spreading throughout
the empire by enlisting on the side of
peace the powerful viceroys OF central
and southern China. has now appar-
entity been adopted by all the other
powers.
NO ANSWER REQUIRED.
1t is too soon to prophesy the ulti-
mate result Of this policy. but thus far
the indications are all favorable. 1t
will be seen that no answer from the
different powers was required or ex-
pected 10 the circular OF July Sd. but
81 is understood II has been everywhere
favorably received. and that no OBJ
jections have been made to It in any
quarter. 1t Is not true that there has
been any formation Of groups or COM
bination of powers OF any sort what
ever.

Their military authorities express the
opinion that the 10000 of their troops.
in addition to the International forces al
ready available, will suffice to force

Emperor William dispatched the Ger
man warship Bussard from Kiel for
China this morning while the German
cruisers Geior and Seeadler have been
ordered to proceed to China as rapidly
as possible from their American and
Australian stations respectively.
WORK OF PRINCE TUAN.
II has been learned by the Associated
Press that the Chinese legation here.
though apparently unable to communi-
cate directly with Pekin, Is getting
news IrOHl tntft ilulIctlly.
The officials of the legation declare
the present trouble is entirely the work
of Prince Tuan and that the govern
ment, the Dowager Empress and the
Chinese generally are against the Box
ers. ...- -------
The officials also say that they have
reason 10 hope that .ne situation at
Pekin is improving and that Prince
Ching will succeed in protecting the
foreigners.
They secuted the stories Of the mas
sacre of the people in the legations and
the poisoning of the Emperor and Dow
ager Empress and express the opinion
that Prince Ching and the loyal vice.
roys could best be assisted by the prompt
dispatch of international reinforce
ments and the promise Of help in the
formation OF strong government.

MORE TROOPS TO SAIL.

partment that the Fourteenth Infantry
and Fifth Artillery will leave on Fri
day for Taku. other troops are being
sent TO replace them.
ANOTHER SURPRISE.
London, july 10, 1:45 p. m.--Chinese
official sources furnish another sur
prise this morning in announcing that
the dowager empress, who had been re-
ported. within two weeks. dead. fed,
poisoned and hopelessly mad. has re-
sumed the reins of power.
The date given is June 80. the same
on which the wholesale massacre OF
foreigners is alleged to have occurred.
The telegram of sheng. the admins
traitor of telegraphs and railroads. to
the Chinese minister at Washington,
WI Ting Fang, saying the imperial
government is protecting the legations.
appears to fit in with the dispatch
from Shanghai of this morning, par
ticularly with reference to the alleged
directions given by the dowager en-
press relative to the protection of for
eigncrs.
At the same time people continue to
ask If the legations are protected, why
the ministers are not permitted to COM
municate with the outer world.
FOOD FOR MINISTER'S.
Sheng's expressed fears that the
food and ammunition of the legations
are exhausted are counteracted by the
news that Prince Ching, the comman-
der of the Manchu field force, is re-
victuallng them, besides which 1t is
now known that in the last resort
there are available for food. several
hundred ponies usually kept within the
walls of the British legation.
In the meantime. according to the le-
cation OF Japan here. the japanese by
no means share the general opinion
that the advance on Pekin must be In
definitely dclaved.
The officials assert that the Japan
ese have no intention Of hating at Ta-
ku- CT Tien-Tsin. but propose TO ad-
vance on Pekin during the present
week.

The Unfortunate Young Woman Expected II
WsuId Be Much Lighter.
PAGE MADE STRONG APPEAL.

Mary Jane Desmarais, who Is but 20
years of age. was sentenced by Judge
Wilbur I'm the common pleas division of
the Supreme court today to three years
i'm states prison for the killing of her
child.
Miss Desmarais was much surprised
at the sentence given her as she ex-
pected lighter one.
She is not in good health and her coun-
sci, Charles H. Page. made an earnest
plea In her behalf. Capt. Parker of the
detective force told the court Miss Des-
marais told a number of different and
conflicting stories.
Assistant Attorney General Charles +.
Stearns represented the state, but he
merely stated the main facts of the case.
leaving as was very proper the case to
the court TO deal with as 1t saw fit.
USED CINNAMON EXTRACT.
Miss Desmarais gave her child extract
of cinnamon. She told the court today
that the child was very sick and she
thought the cinnamon might help to quiet
IT, She denied she gave the cinnamon with
intent to Kill the child The cinnamon was
administered on March 2lst last.
MIR. Page told the court that the child
was said to have been very feeble and
said II was not surprising that young
woman should be so agitated by the In
tervicw that she would say many strange
things, especially as she had no oppor-
tunities to speak TO counsel.
He said he did not believe that Miss
Desmarais intended to kill her child.
Counsel suggested a case In Washington
where a very light sentence was imposed
for the shooting of a boy.
Miss Desmarais. he pointed out, had
been four months in jail and her mother
feured she would not survive a long i'm
prisonment
JUDGE wILBUR'S STATEMENT.
Judge Wilbur said the prisoner must
have known the effects of extract of
cinnamon on her child or she was half an
idiot. His honor said the crime was a
very grave one, but the prisoners neigh
bors had spoken very highly of her pre-
vious good character He would there's
fore not be severe upon Miss Desmarais.
though the placing of the child under
tho mattress OF the bed and then bury
ing IL in a shoe box made him believe
the mother knew that she had done
wrong. Miss Desmarais is modest in man
ner and not at all plain looking.

MINNEApoLIs, March S.-A Journal
Washington special says: 1t is said on
good authority that the Hay Pauncefote
canal treaty is not likely to be ratified
by the senate. 1t has been put into q
pigeonhole III the desk of Senator Cush.
man X. Davis. chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, and there will re.
main Indefinitely.
The claim is now made that the sena-
tor is not friendly to the treaty. Al
though not given TO talking freely.
Davis has said enough to the fellow
members Of the committee to let them
know Enthusiastically how he feels. Ii
seems that he was not consulted or
taken into the confidence Of the state
department while the negotiations were
in progress. Secretary Hay felt himself
quite competent to negotiate the treaty
and the first Senator Davis knew of il
| was when it was sent to the senate fol
the approval Of that body. This was al
undoubted discourtesy TO the chairman
of the senate committee on foreign af
