EXODUS TO THE COUNTRY
Most of Phoenix Spent Sunday on an
 Outing.

Phoenix, yesterday, was almost a de- serted village. Not, all summer, has there been such a quiet Sunday. DoZ- ems of picnic, fishing and hunting par ties spent the day on the river, in the mountains. and on the Indian reserVa- tions, and as a result, from early in the morning until late in the evening the city was long on vacant space and short on population.
 Messrs w. A. Milton, c. F. Berryman and several others enjoyed fishing e& petition to the river, below the city, the pleasure of which was bounded largely by a plentitude of bait, but a scarcity of the finny. A large party from the Philipps boarding house, on North Fourth street spent the day at the Maricopa and Pima reservation. A number of young men hunted pigeons along the river and report the birds plentiful southwest of Phoenix. Sev- eral parties climbed the Camel Back and there Were many visitors to Hole in-the-rOck and the ostrich farm. At the band concert in the evening there was the smallest audience of the sum- mer, notwithstanding the fact that the programme was one of the best yet pre- scented.

OLD GLORY IN BRITAIN
English People Very Friendly to the
 American Fig.

Washington. Aug. 12.-GeOrge M. AL len, chief clerk to the first assistant postmaster-ge general, returned to work this morning from a vacation in Flu rope. MT. Allen will act as first as sistant postmaster-general until MT
 Heath.s successor qualifes. There is some talk of the probability of MT. Al len being appointed to succeed MT. Heath. He is a great friend of Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who recently was defeated by Senator Fairbanks in the matter of the appointment of a post master for Indianapolis. It is said the appointment of MT. Allen would tend to soothe the feelings of those republicans in Indiana who were disgruntled at the appointment of General McGinris postmaster of Indianapolis. MT. Allen is not a candidate for the office, but bis friends have no doubt that he will ac- cept if it is rendered to him.
 One of the most remarkable things I noticed abroad said Mr. Allen to- day, especially in England, was the marked avoidance of a discussion of the BOer war. l presume it is because the people are somewhat dissatisfied with the progress made by Great Bri- tain. and probably every household has a relative or friend now in South Af- rica or who was killed or wounded in the war, and the people wish to avoid references to such a painful subject They are full of the Chinese situation. however, and wherever I went they were discussing the probable attitude of the United States. I found an all most universal desire that England and the United States should stand shoulder to shoulder in this matter. They are very friendly to America in England. was surprised to see the American flag flying in out-Of-the-way places where no commercial good could come to the people thus exhibiting our flag. I think the English exhibited a better feeling toward Americans than we do toward them in this country. They spoke of the United States as though it were the eldest child of Great Britain, and child in which the parent took the greatest interest and for which it had the liveliest affection. They were much interested in our coming election, and all seemed to think Mckinley would be reelected without a doubt, and every where I heard nothing but expressions of good will toward the United States"

SUING FOR PEACE.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Indications of desire by China for peaceful settle ment of her difficulties have been null tiplying for several days. Official eVi- dence of that desire was presented to the department of state today. It was in the form of an edict promulgated by Emperor Kwang Hsu appointing Ii Hung Chang as envoy plenipotentiary to negotiate with the powers for an immediate cessation of hostilitieS" pending a solution of the problems which have grown out of the anti foreign uprising in the empire. Earl Ii is to act directly for the emperor and a fair inference is that whatever terms of settlement he may reach with the powers will be approved by the imperial government.
 Minister Wu was an early caller at the department of state. He went into conference with Acting Secretary Adee at 10:30 o'clock, having previously made an engagement for that hour, and pre- scented to MT. Adee a copy of the inn perial edict which he had received last night. It had been transmitted to him in the Chinese foreign office cipher, and its translation and preparation for sub mission to the state department had occupied much of the night.
 MT. Wu remained with Secretary Adee for three-quarters of an hour, discussing the edict and the probable response to it of this government. Shortly before MT. Wu left the depart ment Secretary Root joined the party. but remained only long enough to ob- tain a copy of the edict and discuss it briefly. MT. Wu expressed the belief that the edict presented means of the peaceful adjustment of the trouble and that the request of the Chinese govern ment for the cessation of hostilities, pending peace negotiations, vas en- tirely reasonable. Immediately upon the conclusion of the conference the text of the edict. together with the de- tails of the call of MT. Wu was com municated to President Mckinley at Canton. The presidents reply. as yet. has not been received.
 During the day only one dispatch that was made public reached any of the government departments from China. It was belated message from Minister Conger, transmitted to the war department by General Chaffee and expressed simply his ability to hold on" until General Chaffee should come to his relief All the power of the government will be eXerted to get re- lief to him and the other imprisoned legations at the earliest possible mo- ment

1897, and that it has been only since 1897 that both seats have been held by ra- publicans. It is pointed out that if Bryan is elected president this fall d democratic senator will probably sue ceed Fairbanks in 1903 From 1869 to 1897 Ohio had one democratic senator and between 1879 and 1881, both of it's representatives in the upper house of congress were democrats. The term of SanatoI. Thomas C. Platt of this state expires in 1909. and with Bryan in the presidential chair the democratic party
 vould be able to make a very strong fight for this seat. Of the house of rep resentatives and the possibility that in inc elections of 1902 it may be won by tbe democrats and cheap money men, the text book says:
 Gould the new house of representa- lives to be chosen in 1902 be safely de- pended on to prevent such calamity? Undoubtedly not. All the probabilities v-ould be against it. In the last thii- teen congress elections the democrats have won eight times If Bryan is elected this year the demo-pops will surelV carry the house of representa- lives also. and almost as certainly they will win in the congress elections Of 1902. or. if not. the republicans will have as narrow and uncertain majority as they did in 1900, when the passage of the senate free coinage bill by the house of representatives was prevented with the greatest difficulty, and then only by the adoption of compromise meas ure which pleased nobody. which az eravated the evils owing from an ur- stable system and which was repealed only after bitter fight which rent the democratic party in twain and drove the dominant faction of it into tre ropulist camp. And even if the sound money men should carry the house by q decisive majority in 1902 and the sii- yer men should obtain the ascendency in the senate there would immediately follow a recurrence of the agitation of financial questions and policies which did the country so much harm for years prior and down to the enactment of the gold standard law of March H, 1900. The only way to insure the con- tinued stability of that legislatio is to defeat the Bryan ticket in November and elect a republican sound money majority in the next house of represent tatiVeS.

CHINA RESPONSIBLE.

Paris, Aug. 12.-Tsung Ii Yamen has forwarded, through the Chinese minister in Paris, Yu Kong, a message to the French government complaining of the tardiness of the foreign minis ters in Pekin in replying to the offer of the Chinese government to conduct their escorts.
 To this communication M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs, has sent the following telegram:
 No order to depart from Pekin will be given to our minister SO long as the route is unsafe. If any casualty what ever occurs the responsibility will be entirely with the Chinese government. Its strict duty is to protect foreign ministers, even more than it's own"

PRESIDENTS REPLY.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Tonight Sec retary Adee, by direction of President Mckinley, presented to Mr. Wu for transmission to his government the re- ply of the United States to the imperial edict appointing Lii Hung Chang as en- Yoy to negotiate with the powers for a cessation of hostilities.
 The text of the reply will not be made public before tomorrow. In effect, how ever it is a reiteration of the demands previously made by the United States upon China, coupled with a vigorous intimation that no negotiations will be entered into until the Chinese govern ment shall have compiled with those demands.
