Secretary of State and demanding the
immediate cessation of hostile attacks
by the imperial troops upon the lega-

bosses of the coolies necessary for the

Washington, Aug. 9.-That the dis
patch from Mr.. Conger will stimulate
the energies of the government to its
utmost endeavor to press forward the
advance movement toward Pelzin is
certain, for Mr.. Conger's message
makes it clear that for the ministers
to leave Pekin would result in their
death.
The officials had been led to believe
from recent dispatches which had pur-
ported to emanate from Chinese
sources, as well as from imperial edicts,
that the condition of the legationers
was much improved, but this shows a
very different aspect of affairs

plot FOR ASSASSINATION.
Would Capture Lord Roberts And
Shoot His Officers.
PART OF A CONSPIRACY.

London, Aug. lathe Daily News
has the following dispatch from Pre-
toria:
A rlot to shoot all the British Off
prisoner has been OPPORTUNITY discov-
cred. Ten of the ringleaders were
arrested and are now in Jail.
Probably the plot was part of con-
spiracy of which the attempted rising
at Johannesburg was the first indica-
ton.
Everything was prepared in the plot
to make Lord Roberts prisoner and
shoot the British officers, and the con-
spiracy was only discovered at the last
moment. The conspirators numbered
about fifteen. They had planned to
set fire to the houses in the extreme
western part of the city, hoping that
the troops would be concentrated
there. The plan was that theR the
conspirators were forcibly to enter all
houses occupied by British officers,
these having been previously marked,
and kill the occupants. All the Boer
sympathizers were acquainted with the
plot and several had been told off to
secure the person of Lord Roberts and
to hurry with him to the nearest conf
mando. Horses had been obtained for
this purpose. Then the British learn
ed the names of the ringleaders, who
were put under arrest. The affair has
created tremendous sensation.

STRATEGIC POINT TAKEN.
Its Capture Considered of Much Import
ance. 1t was Stronghold.

- CoRtaEc OOn1l06r60 OF mucn Import
ance. 1t was Stronghold.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE follow
ing has been received from General
Chaffee:
Yang Tsun occupied. Wounded:
Second Lieutenant Frank R. Long,
Ninth infantry, moderate; casualties,
about 60 men, Ninth United States in
fantry, Fourteenth United States in
fantry and battery f. Fifth United
States artillery. Nearly all from Four
teenth infantry. Names later"
The capture of Yang Tsun is regard
ed as a highly successful military
achievement, and especially in view of
the fact that it was looked upon as a
stronghold whose capture might give
the foreign ers considerable trouble.
Aside from the military developments
OF the day, the diplomatic aspect was
made clearer by the publication of the
demand made by the United States
upon the imperial government of China
and transmitted to Minister WI.
Yang Tsun is the town which GEN.
eral Chaffee indicated as being the OBJ
jective of the international forces on
their then pending movement. 1t is at
the junction of the Pei Ho and the
railroad leading to Pekin. Its capture
will insure to the international troops,
it is hoped, two routes of tralsporta-
ton to Pekin. 1t is IT'S miles from
Tien Tsin.

Chinese Duplicity.

Washington, Aug. 13.-While the
state department is continuing to dis
patch messages to Mr.. Conger on the
assurance of the Chinese government
that communication is uninterrupted,
it is doing so with comparatively small
hope of their delivery.
This assertion was borne out when
Secretary Root said that there was no
convincing evidence in possession of
this government that any of our dis
patches really had reached Mr.. Con-
ger. This indicates that the minister
has not given direct and satisfactory
answer to any of the queries that have
been addressed him by the department
of state,

Washington, Aug. 1.-The state de-

General Stowe at Cape Town, another
dispatch relative to the shipment of
Americans as volunteers at New Or
leans on British transports. In this
instance Mr.. Stowe remarks that he
sends home free all who apply to him,
but adds: 81 no sooner clear one vessel
than another comes into port with
more Americans who have been so
foolish as to ship with mules for this
country. Over 500 have arrived, and
further shipments of these muleteers
ought to be prevented. The means
used to obtain men at New Orleans, as

Indeed, the latter as well as the Chi

therefore no means of checking the

CATTLE TAXATION IN COURT.
Moving of Stock to Evade Assessment

Topeka, Aug Suit is commenced

nationality of the Wiley law concern
ing the taxation of movable personal
property. Some of the cattlemen of
Western Kansas have been in the habit
OF evading the payment of taxes on
cattle for years by moving them from
one county to another about the time
the assessors are making their rounds.
representative Wiley put bill through
the legislature in 1897 providing that
the assessment of cattle in such cases
could be extended on the rolls any
time between March and September.
A live stock commission company, of
Kansas City, moved "a bunch of 1900
head into Sherman county last year
after the regular assessment time and
the county authorities slapped the
bunch on the assessment roll. The
company refused to pay the tax and
the sheriff advertised the cattle for tax
sale. The company filed suit to enjoin
the sale and the district court rendered
Judgment in favor of the Sheriff. An
appeal from that decision has been
filed in the supreme court. The COM
mission company claims that the law
is in violation of five or six provisions
of the state constitution.

r. c. DUES WEEKLY REPORT.
Made Progress Toward a More
Stable Position of Business.
GRAIN RECEIPTS INCREASE.

New York, Aug. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Goa weekly trade review says:
Progress has been made toward
more stable position of business with
= few more heavy contracts to hold the
ground already gained; but for prop
er Interpretation of the weeks results
one must look beyond Wall street OPP
erations where more than in any quar-
ter the vacation season is leaving its
impress of inactivity. Speculation is
cautious but investment holdings have
increased. Working forces are smaller
and will soon be fully reduced, prob
ably for three weeks, by the closing
down of cotton mills in New England,
which has been delayed longer than
expected.
Cotton fell so sharply that some re-
covery occurred in an oversold and
speculative market, and spot sold at 10
cents when the official report appeared,
notwithstanding many indications of
further reduction in consumption.
Wheat advanced about a cent, helped
by poor foreign crop reports. The
domestic outlook is fairly cheerful, and
farmers have marketed freely. Re-
ceipts at interior cities aggregating
6,2s7, 5S1 bushels against 1,91s,21 last
year, and 2,446, All bushels in 1898. Ex-
ports from Atlantic ports were only
1,720, 963 bushels wheat, flour included,
against 2,5O3, 344 bushels last year, al
though purchases of foreign account
were large and promise an increased
movement hereafter. Corn gains nearly
2 cents with the aid of dry weather re-
ports and is cents above the price at
this time last year. Both receipts and
exports for the week fell more than a
million bushels below the same week
in 1899.
Improvement is noted in boots and
shoes, with only small percentage of
eastern shops at work. The textile
lures as marked recent divisions of
prices, but business is of fair volume.
Loss of the Chinese market has put
coarse brown cottons in bad position,
other grades being less seriously af-
fected. In wooden goods recorders are
not up to expectations, and some serges
sell lower. Manufacturers show more
interest in the wool market, taking
fair quantities and seeking fewer con-
cessions. The market is firmer though
prices are unchanged.
