A BIG ARMY

VIII be Required to Reach the Chi
nese Government if 1t is at
Sian Flu.
LONDON, August H.-If the Chinese
government is at Sian-Fu there is no
means of getting at them, according
to the military men, without a pro-
longed campaign and with an army as
large as Lord Roberts to secure the
bases Of communications.
Advices from the provincial capitals
show that the attitude of the southern
mandarlns has been far more friendly
since the allies reached Pekin. Some
OF the magistrates have been issuing
proclamations commanding the Chi
nese to attend to business, to avoid
sedition and acknowledging that the
invasion of the foreigners is justified.

GOVERNMENT REJECTS
Ii HUNG CHANGES APPEAL

WASHINGTON, August 21.-The
cabinet session to-day practically
opened the consideration of the
momentous questions growing out
of the capture of Peking and the
war with China. Until to-day's
session, the absorbing question
has been the safety of Minister
Conger and the legationers at Pc
king. Now, however, that has
given place to problems of more
intricate and far-reaching charact-
er, touching the very existence Of
the Chinese empire and the part
which the American government Is
to take in the reconstruction Of
that country.
The meeting to-day was devoted
entirely to the Chinese situation.
Secretaries Hay and Root, who
have been most active in directing
affairs, were absent from the city,
so that the attendance compare
lively was small, the President
having with him Secretaries Gage,
Hitchcock and Wilson and Post
master General Charles Emory
Smith.
Several questions were awaiting
attention. First Of these was the
application of III Hung Chang for
the appointment of Minister Con-
ger or some other commissioner
to negotiate for the cessation of
hostilities.
The decision arrived at was to
reject the appeal and a reply of
this character will be sent to Min
lister WI to be forwarded to Ii
Hung Chang. The moving cause
for this action is that this gov
eminent is at present very much
In the dark as to whether there
is any existing government in
China. With the capital in the
hands of the allies, the emperor
and empress dowager fugitives in
hiding, and the entire government
tai fabric paralyzed, there is no
evidence of an authority adequate
to conduct negotiations and Sc
cure results which will be final
and binding.
1t was stated by members of the
cabinet that the Chinese establish
ment, instead of being a govern
ment, appears to be an enormous,
headless affair, without knowledge
of what is for its best good and
without power to enforce its wish
es. With the recognized ruler in
flight, no one seems to know who,
if anybody, is directing it's af-
fairs.
AS China is an absolute mon
archy without any legislative
branch, the emperor and empress
dowager are all-powerful. and prac-
tically they are the empire of Chi
ma. Under the present remarkable
conditions, the United States will
act with extreme caution in what
ever steps it may take toward a
solution Of the pending prob
lens.
In the meantime. there is reason
to believe that the United States

the girl attention, was released in

much attention, as the police apparent
ly are unable to secure enough evidence
to warrant charge OF murder against
any OF the suspects.

ST. LOUIS, August 21-Intense heat

RUMORS IN PLENTY.

LONDON, August 21.-Divers para
graphs as to the movements of the
Chinese imperial family continue to
be received at the treaty ports and are
thence faithfully transmitted to the
European capital. These representing
the court as having left Picking are
of exclusive Chinese origin. Accord
ing to them their majesties are well
on their way TO Sian-Fu, about 500
miles inland. Fighting was going on
at Picking Saturday.

and all the other powers interest
ed will keep their armed forces on
the ground, SO that order may be
maintained and at least a SEM
blance of a stable government
brought out of the existing chaos.
The reply of this government to
the appeal of the viceroys of Nam
king and Human that no indignitieS
be offered the emperor and empress
dowager, is a formal acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the commun-
ication with a satisfactory assur-
ance that no indignities would be
offered the persons Of their majes-
ties. This reply is couched in the
polite language of diplomacy, but
it is understood that it does not in
any way commit the government
to refrain from imposing on the
emperor and empress dowager any
penalty that subsequently might
be decided upon in case it is proved
that they were directly responsible
for the recent atrocities. This ,
question of fixing responsibility
where it belongs and imposing any
punishment that may be deemed
in hna nh oal
consideration as yet. The answer
with which the two viceroys ap-
peal is met accordingly is a dip
lonatic assurance that the rights
of the emperor and empress dow
ager will be protected, but does
not impose any barrier to a pro-
per punishment, such as may be
sanctioned by civilized usage, for
any offense which hereafter may be
held to call for an accounting.
This is the Interpretation given
the reply by a cabinet official to-
night.
The question of responsibility
will have to be worked out slowly.
The cabinet had before it a mes
sage from Minister Conger received
last night.
1t had been hoped that Minister
Conger's advices as we'll as those
from Gen. Chaffee would be ample
by this time to afford the Washing
ton officials full opportunity to deal
with the perplexing questions rails
ed by the Chinese disturbances.
Gen. Chaffee has not been heard
from and the Conger message was
not as complete as the authorities
here had desired. 1t was stated to-
day that messages may be sent
from here TO our representatives in
China specifically calling for more
detailed information.
Aside from the consideration
given to particular questions raised
by the Conger despatch, the appeal
of Ii Hung Chang and that of the
southern viceroys, the cabinet also
had time to look over the broad
field of Chinese affairs. There was
no effort, however, at this early
stage to outline general policy.
That will come later. and will be
to considerable extent, the out

HOW TO GET A l.

the art of getting health and keeping
it as follows:
ID Toe best tbipgfor the inside OF a
man 10 the outside of a horse.
() Blessed ls be who Invented sleep,
but thrice blessed the man who will
invent a cure for THU king.
~ Light gives a bror z9d or tan col
or to the tkin, but when 1t uproots the
lily, it plants the rose.
AZ The lives of most men are in their
own hands. and, as a RUE, the verdict
after after death would be suicide.
~ Health must be earned; it Can
seldom be bought.
20 A change of air is less valuable
than a charge of scene. The air is
charged every time the wind is
char ged.
ID Mould and decayipg vegetables

() Dirt, ~debauchery, disease and
death are successive liz ks in the same
chain.

ana rompIpg very ungenteel, but one
is the shadow, the other the substance
of heslthtul exercise.
