Route of the Ministers.

Assuming from Sheng's dispatch that
movement was on foot on the 18th to get
the foreign ministers started from Pekin
10 lien TStn under escort of imperial
troops, the state department would not be
surprised to get definite news of them
from the headquarters of the allied forces
in a short time. The distance from T1en
Tsin TO Pekin is seVenty-five miles, and
a this season the trip is usually made by
road from Pekin TO Tong Choo, a point on
the Pei Ho, twelve miles below the cap
ital and the remainder of the way by
boat.
This trip would take four days, suppos-
ing the escort of imperial troops met with
no resistance from the insurgents. If the
moving from Pelxin was made within two
days after Sheng's information was re-
ceived. it would be possible that the le-
gationers and their escort are now in
touch with the headquarters of the allies,
always supposing that nothing serious
happened to the party on the road

One Power Is Suspected.

At least one of the greatest powers
is under strong suspicion here of acting
-blooSedly and without regard to
sentiment or anything more than the
most material OF considerations. 1t is
believed here that this power is quietly
taking measures to drop out of the
league at Tien Tsin and conduct a
campaign on its own account against
Pekin, and it is even suspected that
this power is already moving troops to-
ward the Chinese capital
One fact regarded as now beyond
need of further demonstration, in view
OF the Chinese appeal, is chat the Chi
nese officials at the coast ports are ac-
tually in communication with what
ever remains of the imperial govern
ment at Pekin, and the text of Kwang
Su's appeal appears to establish the
fact that the Chinese government itself
is sanctioning the resistance to the in
ternational advance upon Pekin.
The state department and the Chinese
government substantially agreed in
estimate of six TO eight days as the
time necessary to get a reply to the
presidents answer to the appeal of the
chinese government. According to the
best information here urgent messages
are being transmitted between Pekin
and Shanghai by the Flowing ex-
press" mentioned in Consul Fowlers
cablegram a few days ago. This. ac-
cording TO the Chinese, is a relay sys-
tenn of mounted messengers similar to
the old pony service across the plains,
and is used when the wire communica-
ton is interrupted. The relay riders
make about 200 miles a day. It is 400
miles from Shanghai to Pekin, and this
seems to agree very well tvith the speed
made in forwarding and returning the
Conger message.

ARMED CONFLICT AVERTED.
Kentucky Situation For The Time
Better.
THE LONDON MEETING TODAY.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb, O.-Armed con-
ilict between the civil authorities of
Franklin county and the national
guard of the state Of Kentucky has
been averted, and, unless new causes
should come TO the front, there Ia small
likelihood that the political situation
will again become us threatening as 1t
has been, Governor Taylor ordered
the release OF Alonzo Walker, for the
possession of whom Judge Moore had
declared that Sheriff Suter would
swear in posse, and take possession
Of the capitol grounds. While not
recognizing in his action the existence
Of the writ OF habeas corpus, which
had been sworn out In behalf of
Walker, Governor Taylor, by releasing
the man, removed the most threaten
ing sign Of trouble, The commanding
officers Of the troops which guard the
grounds are careful to say that the
situation is entirely a military affair,
and that they extend TO the writ Of
habeas corpus very little consideration,
but, whether they regard II or not,
Walker is free, and Sheriff Suter will
not DO called upon TO summon force in
the attempt to secure his release. The
appalling consequences which would
follow such an effort on the part Of the
sheriff were too much for the more
conservative, and II was decided that,
no matter what Judge Moore would
say as an individual, there would be
no attempt to take possession Of the
capitol grounds by force of arms
Both sides will rest pending the
session OF the Republicans called by
Governor Taylor at London. No Dem
ocrats will attend this unless they are
taken there by the military forces of
the state, and no attempt will be made
in this direction by Governor Taylor
until he has afforded them every OPP
portunity to go to London Of their own
accord. What will be done when 1t
has been made certain that the Demo
Gratis will not visit London has not
been definitely decided by Governor
Taylor.

Emnlonen Vote Agnlnnt Strike,

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 5,-While pre-
pairing to fight strike with its sew
eral thousand employees, the Great
Northern was surprised by victory
presented to them by the men them
selves. Until now no one knew how
the vote on the new schedules had gone,
although everybody seemed fully con-
WINGED that it had gone against the
road and in favor of the strike. The
vote has been reported, and as it was
almost equally divided there will be nc
strike. The vote is reported to have
been majority of twelve against the
new schedule.

London, Feb IA dispatch from
Natal says; "The natives persist in
asserting that General Joubert was
killed by shell outside OF Ladysmith. "
Aside from this there is little news
from South Africa, The public is slow
TO believe that General Buffers army
is capable of relieving Ladysmith, so
that the talk OF n fresh movement does
not inspire hope. 1t is not true that
General Butler has withdrawn all his
troops south Of the Tugela. His big
guns are still at Mount Alice, with
Lyttleton's brigade covering them.
