A FEELING OF SAFETY
Credible News Received From
the Besieged LegatiOners.
F1ghting Has Been Heavy and the
Losses of the Gallant Defend
ers Great.

Washington, July 31.-D0ubt has
given way to feeling akin to certainty
that legationers at Pekin and the gallant
marines who managed to reach the
Chinese capital just in the nick Of time
were not only alive on July %, but, in
| all probability, are still alive, and likely
to remain so until they are released
from their state Of siege. The officials
here fees certain that the attack by the
chinese on the legations will not be re-
newed. They are convinced that the
cOunsels OF the vicerOys in the great
southern and central provinces and the
advice OF Ii Hung Chang have had effect.
and whoever is still in power in Pekin,
whether Emperor kwang Hsu, the en-
press, Ching, Prince Tuan or others. has
been made to see the neces 4itv Of pre-
serving the legations.
The officials here, while anxious that
the move on Pekin should begin at once
do not attach credence to the rumor
mentioned by General Chaffee that the
forward march was to begin today
There are two reasons for their incred-
ulIty. In the first place, Chaffee's force,
his splendid cavalry and his battalion
OF artillery are exactly what are needed
to strengthen a weak spot in the inter
national column. In the second place
land information on this point comes
through European channels), some of
the foreign commanders are still OF the
opinion that they cannot begin the cam
palgn before the last week in August at
the earliest. The United States govern
ment has not acceded to this view, and
is relaxing no effort to bring about
change OF plans on this point. But our
representations have been met by the
almost unanswerable argument that the
decision of this important question
properly should be left to the military
commanders on the spot, who must bear
the responsibility for the outcome OF the
expedition.
A message from U. s. Minister Conger
at Pekin, forwarded by Col. Daggett of
the Fourteenth infantry, says; "Since
July IL, BY agreement, there has been
no firing. | have provisions for several
weeks, but little ammunition. All safe
and we'll"

GREAT RIOT AT NEW ORLEANS.
Troubles Over Negro Employment
to Exclusion Of Whites.

New Orleans, July 26.-In the riOting
last night and today one negro was
beaten to death, six were so badly
wounded that their lives are despaired
OF and about q score of people, white
and black, male and female, have been
more or less seriously wounded. Dis
orderly acts, following the disturbances
OF last night we're committed through
out the city today and resulted in the
swearing in by the mayor of 500 special
policemen and ordering out of 800 state
militia upon orders of Gov. Heard who
responded promptly to the appeal Of
Mayor Capdeville for assistance in sup
pressing the existing lawlessness and
in preventing recurrence Of the violence
OF last night.
Throughout the day attacks have
been made by irresponsible whites upon
the black element, and the negroes be-
fore nightfall had been completely chased
from the streets. The effect of the dis
orders has been to put practically a
stop to business in the wholesale dis
tricts and the river front, and this means
a serious crippling Of the trade OF the
port.
Business elements rallied in force and
hundreds of white men, responded to
the appeal of the mayor for assistance
in preserving order. The police have
been practically helpless throughout the
disturbance. But aside from this there
was Indignation among the members Of
the department over the killing OF Capt.
Day and Patrolman Lamb by negro,
Robert Charles
Further there is a strong resentment
on the part of the working people
against the steamship agents and CON
tractors because of the employment Of
negro labor to the exclusion Of the whites
on public works and on the levee fronts.

PRESIDENT vEToEs A BILL.
His First Message of the Kind to This
 Congress Has Local Effect

The first veto from the president to this congress was sent in last Friday. It wi'hholds approval from "An act authorizing the adjustment of rights of settlers on the Navajo Indian reser- vation." Discovery that congress had been misled, says the Albuquerque Citizen. furnished the president with abundant reason for his action.
 There was no objection to the bill as originally drawn and as it passed the IDuse. The secretary of the interior had investigated the situation through an inspector sent to Arizona. and had approved the bill. But in the senate, at he instance of some interested par ties, provisO Was added to this effect:
 "Thut all that portion of the Navajo Indian reservation lying north of 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude and west of the lllth meridian be and the sam" is hereby opened for mining pur. poses only. and subject to the mining laws of the United States"
 Examination of the map shows that the effect of the proviso would be to let the miners into large corner of the reservation. Information has reached the department that some miners from Colorado and Utah, in anticipation of the legislation. have already invaded the reservation. In his report on the provso Secretary Hitchcock uncOvers the juggling. He says:
 ''This amendment Was not referred to the department for opinion by any committee of the senate. but Was so
The Coconino sun., 1900-05-12

referred Dy the mousse cOinnltUee ou Indian affairs. Before report to that committee could be made committees on conference were appointed in both houses, and the bill afterwards passed in it's present form, embed ying the pro- viso in question, which represents the real purpose of the bill. and which is most objectionable"
 The NavajOes are the aboriginal shepherds of America. They now have nearly l.5OO.00 sheep and 100000 goats. Of late years there has been great trouble about water. On January 6 the president, by executive order. ex- tended the reservation so that the Ma vajoes could reach the Little Colorado with their hocks. A bill was intro- duced in congress to secure the rights of settlers on this extension of the reservation. To that bill this amend ment. in the interest of the miners, was attached. The demerits of it Sec retary Hitchcock explains as follows:
 About 1. .2S0. 900 acres were added To the reservation by he executive order of January last. ll is estimated that about 960, ,000 acres would be taken from the reservation by the amendment in question. besides reducing the water privileges on the western boundary quite DO per cent
 ''Part of the tract proposed to be opened to mining is a part of the orig inal reservation, as set aside by the executive order of May r., 1881. and the rights of settlers thereon were re- served to them: and any tract or tracts therein settled on or occupied, or to which valid rights had attached, were excluded from the reservation. SOany vested rights that attached at the date
