MR.. BRYAN's VIEWS.
Democratic Candidate Finally Issues
and Official Interview on the
Chinese Question.
Says He Has no Doubt the Administra-
tion Will Protect Lives and
Property Of Citizens.

Lincoln, Neb., Ju-y 20.-Bryan gave
out an official statement on the Chinese
question saying he has no doubt the
administration WiH protect the lives
and property of Americans in China,
and that If it is found the Chinese gov
ernment has not acted in good faith,
congress has power to deal with the
matter. 1t will be better to have it
known that we seek trade only, and
better for the missionaries to have it
known they are preaching the gospel
of love.

MUST HAVE RELIEF.

MINISTER CONGER SAYS QUICK
\ RELIEF IS ALL THAT WILL
AVAIL TO SAVE THE FOREIGN
ERS IN PEKIN CONTINUED
BoMBARDMEN1 OF THE LEGA-
fl TIoN BY THE CHINESE.
Washington, July 2O-The following
is Minister Conger's dispatch:
The British legation is under con-
tinued shot and shell from Chinese
troops. Quick relief only can prevent
a general massacre. !"
July 11th Secretary Of State Hay
communicated brief message asking
for tidings of Minister Conger in the
state departments code.
Minister WI undertook to get this
to Congers hands if alive. He sue
sceeded and this morning the secre-
tary5 Of state received a telegram from
the consul general at Shanghai saying:
The governor Of Shan Tung informs
me that he has sent today a cipher
message from Conger of the 18TH #
a few minutes Latter Minister Wu ap-
peared at the state department with a
telegram from the Taoti of Shanghai,
dated July 20, which had been received
by Minister WI at $50 this morning.

Il *. -.
Washington, July 90. Minister WI
Ting Fang. the Chinese ambassador to
the United States, has made good his
promise that he would secure some
word from Minister Conger, besieged
in the British legation in Pekin, if he
were still alive.
"a few days ago Minister svu called
at the state department and requested
that he be given message to Conger
from the department., stating that if
Conger were still alive, he would have
the message delivered and secure an
answer.
This morning the answer came. Its
authenticity is attested by the fact that
it was couched in the cipher OF the
state department. It Is dated July is,
corresponding to our July IA, if the
Chinese calendar has been followed in
the dating Of the telegram.
The dispatch goes to prove that the
stories that have been dispatched
through the world as to the massacre
of the ministers early in the month
(
are not true, as according to the mes-
sage, Minister Conger was still alive
July II. in the British legation. The
ministers were besieged and the mes
sage states that quick relief is all chat
win avail to prevent general mas
sacre.
The message states the condition Of
affairs week ago. What may have
happened, in the meantime is not
known. There seems little possibil-
sity of a relief movement reaching
Pekin for some time. While the word
from Conger gives a ray Of hope to a
situation that seems altogether dark,
there is the added element Of tragedy
that the ministers have massacre star
ing them II the face, ana there Is 40
relief at hand.

As chronicled, the Henry Renhoff pro-

reasonable figures. At present the

that the difficulty between the company
