EunperOr WilIinul's speech.

Berlin, Aug. G.-Emperor William last
week was unusually talkatIve, es-
pecially during the embarkation Of the
China troops, besides delivering regular
sermon to a large body oi departing
troops aboard a ship, promising, from "A
passage IN the second book Of Moses,
about the struggle between the lsaelites
and the Amalekites, that SO long as the
troops and those remaining at home pray
ed hard for success against the Chinese,
victory would be theirs. Inc emperor
also yesterday addressed number Of
Lloyd workmen. The Lokal Anzeiger
states that the emperor decorated them
personally, aided by his officers, attach
ing medals TO the workmens breasts,
thanking them and saying that by faith
fully remaining at eheif posts, III spite OF
the strike OF their fellow workers, the
timely embarkation Of troops had been
made possible Next the emperor Sc
,erely condemned strikes and those re
sponsible for lockouts in Hamburg and
elsewhere for leaving the fdtherland in
the lureh in such critical times. Beside
these talks, a number of the emperor
utterances made privately this week at
Eremerhasen have become current, all
showing that his Indignation against the
Chinese is still as strong as ever.

"All WeIi-NO Fighting since i0th."
Washington, Aug. Ga helated mes
sage from Minister Conger was re-
ceived today at the state department.. 1t
came through Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai. The advices are the same AS
those received day or two ago by the
state department from Consul Fowler at
Chefoo. MIR. Adee, acting secretary OF
state, later in the day issued the following
statement:
Consul General Goodnow, in a cable
gram dated Shanghai, August 5, which
was received at the department OF state
at o'clock this Sunday morning, re-
ports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale at
ger and the secretary Of the legation,
MIR. Squires, dated July q, to the follow
ing effect:
"'All well; no fighting since the 10th,
by agreement. Enough provisions. Hope
for speedy relief" "
Mr. Goodnow adds that Director of
Posts Sheng had on the 5th made to him
Al lit ,aI I,,l,

isters to Nenisin, when the ministers fix
the date. The e,ict says the ministers

While the messages from Minister Con
ger and Secretary Sluires bear the date
OF July q, the belief, founded not only
upon them, but also upon collateral and
later information. is that the legationers
are yet safe from immediate harm. At
Ilesent there is no means OF knowing
whether the ministers viii accept the Of

but it is surmised that they will prefer
to remain with the British legation at
Pekin until the arrival Of the allied forces.

il as the safer course TO pursue.

Communication Opened.
Washington, Aug. 9,-Alini,ter Wa has
received an edict, under date OF August

mits the powers TO hold open and free

includes the sending of cipher messages.
The Chinese minister has also received
copy OF the imperial edict OF August ?,
which was delayed i'll transmission. 1t

10 GentSin, and assigns Jung La to Sc
lect efficient officials to give this conduct.
situation Is Critical.
Washington, Aug. 9.-Ihe last message
from Minister Conger brings the Chinese
situation to its most serious stage, and
the authorities At Washington regnd the
matter as one Of great gravity. They are
aware that nothing but the most vigorous
action can meet the conditions, save the
ministers and other foreigners i'll Pckin
and avert war of long duration. After IA
diplomatic and military affairs, III which
President Mckinley participated ever the
long-di,iance telephone, II WAS decided 10
send Il message to Consul General Good
now, repeating the contents ot the tongcr
message and advising him that the situa-
ton is serious and crisis has been reach
ed. He MAS directed to communicate the
fact TO Ii Hung Chang, to Sheng and other
Chinese officials, who were to transmit
i. TO the government of CHINA with a
strong representation that the present
situation was intoerable and could not be
continued without the most serious re-
suits. 1t is understood that the dispatch
was practically an ultmatum, and an
early reply i, demanded. The answer Is
expected during the day or evening, and
it PROBABLY will determine the future ac-
ton Of This government.
1t Is not believed by the war department
officials that the international forces nov
operating along the Pei river can reach
Pekn III time to Rescue the ministers II
active hostlities should begin against the
lcgationers by the imperial troops. SO
serious do the officials regard the situation
that it is believed by some there Is greater
safety ior the minis, crs and other foreign
ers to accept an escort OF the imperial
army to Iient-ln than to remain III Pekin
ii war should be declared.
The information received through the
Chinese minister regarding the opening Of
communication between the ministers, and
then governments l. the one ray OF hope
OF the situation. Whether the promises
contained in the edjct will be made good
ought TO he speedily known, and il con
municaton is established the monstrous
consequences may be- aserted. Although
there have been inlimation- before that
such communication would be estlb-
lished, tins is the first time that il has
appeared III the form OF an imperial edlct.
A- a result OF this latest communication
from the Chinese government and the
message sent to Consul General Good
now, the United States government l.
nov in waiting attitude, hoping for the
best, but apprehensiye Of the grave posi-
bilitles.
