consists in the statement that
we have bought out the Chick

are carrying it on upon a de-

by cheapening the quality we

Our Piano business is or

the falsehood about our rela-

The statement above quoted
is false in general and in par
ticular. We have not bought
the Chickering piano works.
We have not single dollar
invested in them. The max
ing of the Chickering Pianos
continues undiSturbed, and
they have never in the past
been equal to the present
product.
We have taken the control
of the sale of them in New
York and Philadelphia. The
business of selling all the
Chickering Pianos we possibly
can, from our two stores, is the
whole of our relation to them.

tence, who, can doubt that from all
these may spring dangers to society,

that Minister Conger says that they

At present there is no means of
knowing whether the ministers will
accept the offer of the Chinese i'm

for them 10 Tien-Tsin. but 1t is sur
missed they will prefer To remain with
in the British legation at Peking until

thought to be not unlikely that the

gotten To Tien-Tsin in safety the storm

Some features of Il dispatch received

which the war department refused
then TO make public. became known
Saturday. His views as cabled in the

that is one reason why the dispatch
