Washington, July 2O.-There was no
date In the body Of the dispatch from
the Tsung Ii Yamen to indicate when
the dispatch from Hay was handed to
Conger. or when the American minister
sent his reply. The idea that 1t was
written and forwarded on the 18th
inst, therefore. rests upon the word of
Chinese official, who has been hereto
fore characterized as slippery" be-
ing too wary to declare himself either
for or against the foreigners.
In the general Joy OF hearing from
Conger. however, there was today a
disposition to overlook this omission of
a date to his dispatch, and to believe
that the governor Of Shantung was cor
rect In saying that 1t left the legation
on the 18th.
There are some officials who believe
that the dispatch was really prepared
by Chinese officials to deceive the
American state department. Their
argument IL that when the American
legation was destroyed Conger's dis
patch book and code book were found
and by this means Hays dispatch was
deciphered and reply concocted. At
the state department this 10 said to
have been impossible even with the aid
OF the code book. The cipher experts
say 1t would be necessary for the un-
initiated to devote q long study to the
task Of using the code. It is also sug-

There is no joy in this world equal

woman's health is her deares posses

indirectly to some arrangement IF the

of this kind are often neglected be-

A Much Talked Of Change in
Our Law.

There seems to be disposition
among the taxpayers to have the
assault and battery cases and
those of carrying concealed weap-
ons tried before magistrates in.
stead of being tried before the
jury and before the court. The
cost of these cases as tried in the
court alone costs from twelve to
fifty dollars per case, and the
amount is far in excess of three
thousand dollars per year.
Time would be saved and speedy
trials would result, besides thou.
sands of dollars would be saved
to the taxpayers. What think
the people of this change!
