SEVERE STORM
Strikes Michigan Penensula- Damage to
 Crops Immense.

Detroit, Mich, August 20. = The entire lower peninsula of Michigan was swept by severe electrical storm this afternoon. The damage to crops is immense. From all parts of the peninsula come reports of standing grain beaten to the ground and practically ruined. Scores of barns were struck by lightning and burned with their contents, so that the loss to the farmers is very heavy. But one fatality has been re- ported. Ferdinand Holtz, a young farmer, was struck by lightning near Mount Clem- ems and instantly killed.
 In Detroit the wind attained a velocity of thirty-six miles an hour, and hundreds of trees were blown down. The storm swept down with cycionic fury upon the camp which had been pitched on the bou- levard for the biennial encampment of the Knights of Pythias and raZed l. 900 of the 1,300 tents to the ground. Windows were broken in all parts of the city by the wind and rain and upwards of a dozen buildings were struck by lightning.

STATEMENT
Given Out by Minister Wu Regarding
 Proposals.

New York, August 20.-A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says:
 "Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, in an interview made the following statements:
 China recognizes the Emperor and En- press Dowager as her rulers They are the government of China. I have no idea an attempt will be made by the Chinese to overthrow them. The official announce ment of the entrance of the allies into Pe- kin and the safety of the legations also stated that before the city was attacked the court had gone to the west.
 T believe the report published a few days ago that the Emperor and Empress Dowager had gone to Tsinan Flu is prob ably correct. The mere fact that the Elm peror and Empress Dowager are not at Pekin does not change the governing pow CT of China. l do not fear an international revolt against them and I sincerely trust that the powers will do nothing to remove the present ruler from the government of China.
 T am not informed as to the terms which the powers will present, and I am equally uninformed as to the propositions, fl any, which Lii Hung Chang will submit. Whatever the wrong for which China may be responsible, she will rectify it, l am sure.'

FIGHTING IN PEKIN
 STILL CONTINUES
Chinese Fled to the Imperial Palace When Allies Entered the City.
 Making Strong Resistance.

Washington, Aug. 2O,-The Japanese lega- tion today received several important dis patches giving the fullest and latest infor- nation of events in Pekin A telegram dated at Tokio, August 19, says:
 After entry into Pekin was effected by the allied troops the Chinese troops on August 15 betook themselves to and re- mained in the imperial palace. A body of Japanese troops was told off to guard the palace, and there they met with obstinate resistance by the Chinese troops. Fighting Is still going on. The headquarters of the Japanese army Is in the legation and the division is mainly on the road in the vil- lage outside of An-Ting- Men"

NEELY CASE.
Judge Wallace Refuses to Revoke Re
 cent Order.

New York, August 20.-Judge Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court, this af- ternoon denied the request of United State Attorney Bierney for a revocation of his recent order in the Medley case, by which Medley was remanded to the custody of the United States marshal pending an appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the denial of writ of habeas corpus. Judge Wallace said that he would await further developments in the extradition proceedings.
 Judge Wallace said that 1t seemed neces- sary or expedient to permit Neeley's coun- sel to make further application for a writ of habeas corpus and take sunch ac- ton thereon as was deemed proper.
 MT. Lindsey then submitted new peti- ton for writ of habeas corpus as suggest ed by Judge Wallace.
 Judge Wallace, United States District At torney Burnett and MT. Lindsey began discussion over the question as to who was at the present time the custodian of Neey. "The prisoner" said Judge Wallace, must be in the custody of some one. If he is not in the custody of the marshal or of the district attorney, he must be in the GUS tody of Judge Lacombe. It should show no disrespect to allege in your petition that the prisoner was not in the custody of the marshal, but of Judge Lacombe."
 General Burnett said that the prisoner was not in his custody. He said it seemed to him that while the prisoner was not, in his opinion, held under the warrants of arr -. in extradition proceedings he was held prisoner under the civil order of ar- rest, and was in the marshal's custody un- der that order.
 Judge Wallace said: If an officer has an authority in his hands and makes an arrest, it is supposed that the arrest is un- der that authority"
 MT. Lindsay agreed to take this view of the case, and alleged in his petition tha, Nicely was in the marshars custody.
 The new petition was filed in the clerk s office of the circuit court.

GENERAL GORDON ANSWERS
 THE NEW ORLEANS VETERANS

must be my guide in the future as in the past
 AS to the courteous and cordial invita- ton of both the Grand Army of the Re- public and the executive committee of Chi cago's citizens have to state that great ly appreciate the compliment paid me by that invitation and the spirit which prompted 1t. Circumstances, however, rem dered it impossible for me to accept, and I so notified the officers and committee near ly two months ago, when that invitation first reached me. But in this connection also l wish to say that must be the judge now and hereafter of the propriety of ac- cepting invitations from any section of the country or any class of my fellow-country- men.
 Tn order that there may possibly be no misunderstanding of my position on these and all kindred matters, I repeat that my sole guide must be my own conviction of duty to this whole country and to the southern people. whose glorious record in all the past whose traditions, dignity and honor l have endeavored to defend and un- hold at all times, in all sections and under all conditions.
 Tn conclusion let it be definitely under stood that so long as Providence permits me to speak or labor I shall continue the efforts which l have made for thirty years in the interest of sectional harmony and unity. Whatever I can do will assuredly be done for the truth of history, for justice to the south and to all sections for foster ing our cherished memories, for the oblit- eration of all sectional bitterness and for the settlement of all sectional controversies on basis consistent with the honor and the manhood and the self-respect of all.
