INTERCEPTED DISPATCH.

British Officials Believe the Conger Mos
sage an Old One.
LONDON, July 2l.-Minister Conger's
message to the state department at
Washington is not regarded here as
justifying over much optimism, but on
the contrary, is generally accepted as a
further Chinese attempt at mystitica-
ton. Some think tho fact that the
message is undated and that the SINH
larity of it's contents to Sir Robert
Harris message of June "a, suggests
that it was sent off about the same
time, but intercepted by tho Chinese.
The sceptical are confirmed in their
suspicious by the fact that a message
was received by M. Delcasse, the French
minister of foreign affairs, through the
Chinese minister at Paris, purporting to
come from the emperor, asking France
mediation with the powers, and which,
it is alleged, was dated July 10, and
makes no mention of the foreign lega.
tions at Pokin.

Before the war and the advent of

presented scene to the traveller long
to be remembered, picture such as
we see today only in print and not in
nature. The iron mileposts which
dotted the road were kept clean and
free from rust, and the crack of the
Positions whip could be heard at any
hour of the day as the rumbling stages
bumped along between Wheeling and
Cumberland and Baltimore. Twenty;
of these coaches. with their red and
yellow trimmings, passed each day the
cattle and sheep which were being
driven to market by the cattle raisers
along the road. Since the time when
the road was covered with stage
coaches. canvas covered wagons and
ten horse teams, cutie and sheep the
road has undergone little change.

ANoKA. Mimi, July 2l.-Elmer Mil
Ter and James Hardy, charged with the
murder of two members of the Wise
family, are again free men, but young
Matteson will remain in Jail until the
October grand jury convenes. This
was the decision of Judge Hughes after
he had listened to the evidence in their
preliminary examination, which was
begun last week thursday. The alibi
Of Miller and Hardy, in the mind Of the
judge, outweighed the confession Of
Eliza Wise, and the ciroumstantial evil
denoe which seemed to oorroborate her
story, for that was their only defense.
THERE'S nothing to prevent the grand
jury from taking tho case up in October.

CLEVELAND, July 21.-The ore asso-

by maintaining for the last half Of the

ore that prevailed during the first half
of the year-that is, $3.50 ton for
Bessemer, with corresponding prices in
other grades. This action, it is said,
