COEUR D'ALENE INQUIRY.
No Renewal of Hostilities Between
Sinclair and Robertson.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-when the
Occur d'Alene investigation was resumed
today there was no outward evidence OF
yesterdays exciting ARRAY between the
witness, Bartlett Sinclair, and Attorney
Robertson. The members OF the COM
mittee gave a good-natured turn to af-
fairs by an exchange of raiilery on Mr..
Suffers vice presidential aspirations.
Mr.. Sinclair's testimony dealt with the
permit system.
When Attorney Robertson began the
REORGANIZATION of Sinclair, ne made
no aiiusion to their personal conflict. The
cross-examination was made to show that
Sinciairs exercise of authority was incon-
sistent with state of martial law.

Trying to smooth Over the Demand
for Indemnity by Making other
COnCeNsiOuu.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April AIN view
OF the steps taken by the United States
government In regard to the claims aris-
Ing out Of the Armenian massacres, the
embassies of Great Britain. France. Aus
tria, Italy and Germany have asked
their governments for instructions as to
their similar claims.
The PRONUNCIATION Of the trade authorix-
Ing the rebuilding of the American struc-
lures burned at Kharput and the enlarge
ment Of the Roberts college Is regarded
as showing clearly the desire of the VII
die kiosk to be agreeable to the United
States. In the hope that the latter will
not press for the payment Of the indem-
nifty. The United States government
however, has no intention of abandoning
its claim.
The American legation has also sue
ceeded In obtaining permission for the
continued working by American mission
aries of the hospital at Kaisarieh. which
the authorities have been trying to shut
up on the pretext that certain local regu-
lations had not been observed.
Tho porto has given orders to permit
the embarkation of two naturalized Amer
lean Armenians who were on their way to
the United States. and who had been pre-
vented from sailing on the ground that
they originally left their native country
surreptitiously. The report of Vice Con-
sui Walker at Alexandretta Is awaited
at the legation. in order to determine IL
there are grounds for demanding repara-
ton.
Alleged Offer Of Russian Aid.
LONDON, April 2s.--The Constantinople
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says
1.-The porte considers that its offer to re-
build the American structures burned at
Kharput will close the question. II bases
this belief on news that Russia has init
mated an intention to oppose any attempt
on the part of the United States to en-
force payment"
England VIII Cooperate for Redress
LONDON. April E.-Inquiries made Mt

patch from Constantinople to the Associat-
ed Press saying that in view OF the steps
taken by the United States regarding
claims arising out of the Armenian mas
sacre the embassies OF Great Britain,
France. Austria. Italy and Germany have
asked their governments to instruct them
as to their similar claims.
1t Is also learned that the British gov
ernment has not yet answered its ambassa-
doris request for instructions and contem-
plates individual action. While the atti-
tude OF her majesty's government Is one OF
regret that the British claims have come
TO this stage, 1t will cooperate In any
plan decided upon by the other powers
concerned.

BLOODY TROUSERS.


Biddeford, August 10.-Besides the
Identification Of George Champion by
Harold Poole, at Alfred Jail thursday,
new, very damaging, and very important
evidence against the prisoner was dis
covered In East Wakefield Thursday
morning by n farmer. 1t was an old
pair of blood stained gray trousers, which
are supposed to be the ones worn by
Champion when he was about the Good
win place. The trousers were found
rolled up and concealed In the bushes
beside the road between West Newfield
and East Wakefield. This IS supposed to
be directly in the route taken by Cham
pion after the murder of the four persons
on the Goodwin farm on Sunday night
a few weeks after he had fled from Bos
ton because of the Poole case.
It is believed that Champion committed
the crimes and then stole pair of tan

cred To Him.

was suin1ently guarded as not to further
increase the jeopardy of our minister in
case the Chinese have access to our
cipher. As to the terms OF the message.
they are believed TO make plain that this
government viii not advise, much less
direct, that Mr.. Conger Leave Pekin un-
der Chinese escort, when the minister has
advised Washington that this would mean
certain death Moreover, the reply doubt
less lets the minister know that there IS
an unaccountabIe error IN the statement
OF the Chinese government as convened
TO him through the Tsung Ii Yamen
that the foreign governments had urged
repeatedly that the ministers be sent out
OF Pekin under suitable escort This
clause, contained IN Mr. Congeris latest
despatch, clearly shows that the Chinese
government Is leading him to believe that
II is the wish OF Washington that he
leave under Chinese escort. whereas
the United States government never has
entertained for moment the idea Of
having the minister sent out on the
dangerous pilgrimage from Pekin to the
coast under Chinese protection.
There Is no probability that the atten-
ti0n Of the Chinese government will be
directed TO its apparent double dealing as
Indicated by the Conger despatch. This
government has transmitted to the other
powers interested the note to the Chinese
government entrusted to Minister Wa on
the night OF the Sch. 1t has assurance
from the other powers that they have not
advised their representatives to accept
Chinese escort from pekin.
1t was officially stated at tbs close Of
the day that no further representations
have been made to the Chinese govern
ment since the Adee note of the Sth and
that none will be made until the Chinese
government has given some indication of
the attitude it VIII assume in complying
with or denying the demands of the
United States.
While the state department is continu-
ing TO despatch messages to Minister
Conger upon the assurances of the Chi
nese government that communication is
uninterrupted, it is doing so with COM
paratIveIy small hope OF their delivery.

Washington, August 10.-In the light
of the latest dispatches from Minister
Conger, received by the state department
through Minister Wa today, the attitude
of the administration is that there is but
one thing to be done in the present cir
cumstances, namely, to press on to the
relief of the besieged garrison at Pskin.
This was made known after extended
communications between Washington
and the President at Canton, Ohio. The
Conger despatch was accepted as showing
conclusive justification for the imperative
demand of the United States sent TO the
Chinese government on Wednesday night,
insisting that the imperial troops cooper
ate with the international forces in the
rescue of the ministers and until this
condition, as well as that for the cessa-
ton of commandment is fully conceded by
China there is no other course open but
to press steadily onward IN the mission
of relief. The Conger despatch was re-
ceived before daylight at the Chinese
legation and as soon rs the official day
opened Minister Wa presented it TO Act
ing Secretary Adee at the state depart
ment 1t was IN the American cipher and
was found TO be an Identical note with
that of the other ministers at Pekin (that
of the French minister, NJ Pichon, al
ready having appeared), with the addi-
tional fact that seven members of the
American guard had been killed and six
teen wounded.

the determination to reply to the Conger
message at once and accordingly Sscre-
tary Root and Acting Secretary Adee
conferred on the terms Of this reply. The
text was ready by three o clock and 1t
was forwarded late IN the day. 1t was
announced officially and positively that
this message would not be made public
either in whole or in substance. 1t was
made plain, however, that the message
