Russia. With the possible exception OF
Germany, there is probably not another
power that would seriously object to the
evacuation Of Pekin.'
The Daily Mail observes: Probably
Russia, with the assistance of the United
States and France. hope to dictate TO the
other powers Of far eastern policy ensur-
ing the accomplishment OF Russias de-
signs, which would be greatly facilitated
by the acceptance of Ii Hung Chang as
plenipotentiary. The powers should re-
fuse to accept any intermediary or TO
evaccuate Pekin. which would only be
interpreted as a sign of weakness"
The Daily Express and the Daily Chron
icle protests against placing any reliance
on the professions of Ia Hung Chang or
of the Chinese authorities.
The Standard says: 1T is not easy 20
overate the Importance Of the decision Of
the United States and the desire of both
of Washingto nand St. Petersburg 20
withdraw from Pekin is very ineligible.
Public opinion IN America is ayerse to
foreign complications, while Russia has
discovered that conditions are not pro-
pitieus for her schemes Of conquest.
She lacks Unnecessary large army, and
wants the trans-Siberia railroad com
pIetetd before she can stretch her arms
over northern Asia The powers must,
however retain their hold on the capital.
withdrawal. although not inconsistent,
with the dignity of the Washington gov
eminent, would be quite impracticable
for the others. It would be countd as a
triumph by the anti-foreign party in
China and represented throughout the
empire as due to the cowardice Of Eu-
rope"
The Daily News says: Acceptance of
Lii Hung Chang is the only thing the al
lies can do. His intervention would I'M
doubtedly make for peace. II is pretty
clear that, unless statesmen can do
something to relieve the tension, affairs,
so far as the military can deal with
them, have arrived at a deadlock"
The Times makes no comments upon
the Russian proposals. According to the
Pekin correspondent of the ally Mail, wir
ing August Is, when, on the approach Of
the allies, the tsung II yamen asked an
interview with the besieged, four OF the
ministers opposed and seven favored com
plying with the request. An appointment
was made for thenext day but the Chi
nese ministers did not come. During the
siege every scrap Of metal, including can
dlesticks and ornaments. was converted
into ammunition. A gun was made from
a fire extinguisher. Ten thousand sand
bags were made of silk brocade material
valued at s. per bag.
Sir Claude Macdonald, the Britishm in
lister sent a message recommending the
water gate for the entry Of the troops.
From Chez Foo it is announced that
the photographic Offices are overwhelmed
with the work and that an immense ac-
emulation of dispatches is awaiting
transmission.

BLOODY ROW IN THE STREET
Two Oklahoma Cityans 60 at Each
Other With Knives.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 30.-The Oklahoma
City Okiahoman says: A bloody fight
occurred on Broadway at about O'Clock
yesterday evening. in which Ralph
Cochran, a bartender, reeeived severe
knife wound at the hands of George
Neeley, who has acted recently as
special officer on the sheriffs and police
forces. The men have always been
friends in the past and bystanders say
that both are to blame for the present
trouble. AS near as could be learned the
quarrel was as follows: Neeley had been
having some trouble with a man named
Kimbrough in one OF the saloons on the
Broadway row, and had his knife out,
when Cochran came In. He told Neeley to
put up the knife. which the latter re-
fused to do. Cochran again demanded
that the knife be put away. and he was
answered by refusal and an oath. This
50 incensed Cochran that he struck
Neeiey with his st, squarely in the face.
AT this Medley transferred his quarrel
from Kimbrough to Cochran and made
for the latter with the knife. Cochran
backed out of the door, picking up chair
as he went. He was followed by Neeley
who attempted to reach him with the
knife Cochran continued to walk back
ward, keeping Medley away with the
chair until he tripped and fell backward.
AS he fell Neeley plunged the knife into
his neck, the blade entering just back
Of the jaw and Immediately under the
ear, ranging downward, making a cash
about three inches long. After the cut
ting Cochran was removed to a physi-
clans Office, where his wound was dress
ed, and Medley was taken TO jail. While
Cochran's wound is not considered dan
gerous it is very painful and will proba-
lby leave a scar for life. Cochran is well
known to the people here, having been
member of the police force while his
cousin. Frank Cochran, was chief. Neeley
has been connected in some way with the
sheriff's office for some time, and he was
chiefly instrumental in securing the al
legged confession Of Bill Yoder, who is
accused Of completely in the Eick muir

WANT TAMS BIxBY TO STAY
People Down MuscOgee Way Re-
gard Him Highly.

Muscogee, /. T., Aug. 30.-The news that
the resignation of Tams Bxby as a
member Of the Dawes commission has
been withdrawn, is hailed with delight
by the people of this section, who regard
Mr.. BiXby as one of the most competent
men ever on the commission. AS soon
as it was announced that his resignation
had been forwarded to Washington, the
business and professional men Of this
place without single exception, Joined in
a petition asking him to withdraw the
resignation. 1t is thought that this in
connection with Muscogee's influence at
Washington, has had its weight in caus-
ing Mr. Bixby to consent to remain on
the commission.

CONSULS ORDERED BACK
The state department yesterday sent
specific ms tructions to Consul Wilcox to

lieved that they may resume their duties
without personal danger.
CONGER'S CHINA DISPATCH
Mr.. Conger's cablegram made public
this morning is of special interest because
of his reference TO the coming to Pekin
of Prince Ching In recent dispatch Mr.
Conger stated that several members Of
the tsung-h-yamen were in Pekin and
would soon appear publicly. These facts
indicate that there is gathering at Pekin
a respectable fragment of the Chinese
government, which may afford the basis
sought by our government and that of
Russia for peace negotiations. Prince
Ching is well known to be friendly to the
foreigners, and his coming to Pekin
probably by direction OF the empress
dewager, indicates that the imperial gov
eminent is willing to sue for terms, with
the real purpose of submission. II IS i'm
possible to tell from Mr.. Conger's dis
patch when it was sent from Pekin. but
his statement that the imperial palace
was to be entered last Tuesday PAGES its
date very early in the week at least

was with Acting Secretary Adee for a

nothing from China and had come In
quest Of information. The minister dis
played great interest in the pending dip
lomatic negotiations between the powers.
He went directly from the state depart
ment 10 the train His absence from the
city al this time was taken as further
evidence that there IS a halt IN ne-otsa-
tons 50 far as the Chinese officials ara
concerned. The minister was quite anx-
ious that his departure for Cape May
should not be made known and for that
reason he left no word as 70 how long

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE EVENT
Celebrated OVER THE
WORLD
YESTERDAY WAS THE BIG DAY
Story of It's Origin, So Far as the
Fox Sisters Were Concerned,
as Told in Their Home
Town.

HYDESVILLF, March 31-Spiritual>
lists all over the world celebrated to-
day as the anniversary of the origin of
modern Spiritualism, and 1t was this
pleasant little village in Arcadia town.
ship, Wayne county, n. Y, which gave
it birth III 1S4S. Hydesville is a quaint
old place-dull and sleepy, with an indie
scribable finished appearance, conveying
the idea that 1t is absolutely completed
and that no more building or other
changes can ever take place. Many of
its picturesque dwellings are overgrown
with vines, and their architecture in
cludes just such a porch as q tired pc
on hot summer day. 1t was in one of
to VISITORS that, in 1847, occurred the first
manifestations of modern Spiritualism
familiar to the present believers in that
faith. Though the Fox sisters. Mar
garetta and Catherine, through whom the
first revelations Of supposed spirit power
were made, have recently denounced
themselves and have stated the so-caIled
spirit rappings' which created such an
immense sensation so many years ago
were produced by voluntary cracking
of their toe-joints, the faith Of believers
in Spiritualism is in no wise shaken
The latter say that despite the toe
joints the great truths and principles of
modern Spiritualism stand as firmly and
shine as brightly as ever. They say that
these date back far beyond the time of
the Fox girls. Even in that low, ramb,
ling two-story house in which these lively
young women first cracked their toe
