Most welcome Feature.

4lCAla
Most Welcome Feature.
First of all, from the standpoint of
the administration officials, the most
welcome feature Of the message was
its assurances hat the American min
lister himself was alive two days ago.
But with this cheering news came the
ominous statement of Minister Conger
that the beseiged foreigners were in
the British legation under continued
shot and shell from Chinese troops and
that only quick relief could avert a
general massacre.
Graver Feature of the Message.
After the first flush of thankfulness
this graver feature of the message
began to impress itself upon the cabi-
net officials most deeply. AS one Of
them remarked:
There are the poor creatures,
penned up under fire of shot and shell,
and appealing to us for help"
No Change of Policy.
The consultation brought about no
pronounced change of policy, for ii
was felt that already every energy had
been bent toward meeting the sitra-
ton and that there was absolutely
nothing more h a could be done. At
ter all, the cabinet officials felt, and
SO stated, that the message was an evil
dence of friendliness and good faith of
the ~pro-foreign element of the Chinese,
nd that wisdom dictated a course
which would continue to utilize this
friendship.
Accepted as Authentic.
The government accepted the mes
sage as authentic, and Mr.. Hay trans
mitted it to all our ambassadors and
ministers abroad, with instructions to
lay it before the respective govern.
ments to which they are accredited,
and to urge upon them the necessity
for cooperation for the immediate re-
lief of the foreigners at Pekin.
Instructions to Admiral Remey.
A message was also sent by Secre-
tary Long to Admiral Remey convey
ing the intelligence of the desperate
situation in Pekin, and instructing
him to 'use and urge every possible
'ndeavor for relief"
This message, Secretary Long ex-
planned, meant for Admiral Remey to
himself "use" and to urge" upon the
commanding officers of the other pow
ers the use of every endeavor for the
relief of Pekin. Secretary Root sent
q similar notification TO Col. Coolidge,
the senior American army officer
s.hare at Tien Tsin.

Another Good Evidence.

The fact that Minister Conger men,
toned the bombardment of the British
legation was considered good evidence
that the dispatch was written subse-
quen1 to the 9th, as the best in
formation here is that the lombard
ment of the legations did not begin
prior TO that date. 1t was said at the
state department that ii was not
thought expedient to give out either
the text or a paraphrase of the mes
sage sent by the state department
July II to Minister Conger.

Beckhan, Nominated.

At 2:15 a. m. the order for nomina-
tons for governor was reached. and
Congressman Wheeler presented the
name of Gov. j. c. w. Beckham. A
wild demonstration Of enthusiasm fol-
lowed. When order was restored, the
other names of Judge James ID. Black
and Judge James 2. Taryin were pre-
scented. The INT Of MCCreary, Lew
is, Smith, Pryor and Garrett, who had
been pressed hard as candidates, were
not presented.
About B 4. m, when the call of the
counties was almost completed,
Charles Metcalf withdrew the name
of Judge Black, and moved that the
nomination of Beckham be made by ac-
clamation. Judge Tarvin withdrew his
name, and seconded this motion. Gov.
Beckham was nominated by acclama-
ton.

Wu Accepts the Task.

New York, July ga Washington
Special to the Press says:
"Minister WI places such confidence
il the genuineness Of Mr.. Conger's
dispatch and such faith that the Chi
nese government is protecting the for
e19n ministers in Pekin, that he has
agreed to try another plan to demon
strat1 absolutely to this government
that the American minister is alive.
1T is nothing short OF delivering
Min-ster Conger into the hands of Adj
niiral Remey at Taku, that he may in
his own person speak for the integrity
OF he imperial government and tell
the world the truth regarding the sit
uation in Pekin. The state department
has been so won over thai it now has
confidence in Minister WI and his
friends that they can accomplish what
ordinarily appears to he impossible"

Washington. JuIy 23.-TAere IS rea-
ION to believe that Secretary Fay has
rn7iiied Minister Wa that as a condi-
:i.,n precedent to mediation by This
! government to end the war in China,
Minister Conger, as well as his staff
must be delivered safely into the hands
Of ADMIRAL Renaey within a period linz
tied to the tire necessary for the jour
ney from Pekin to the seaboard.
Moreover, il is understood that tine
secretary OF state has informed Min
Istcr WI that it viii be impossible
fer ills government to make any prog
ress in negotiations with other powers
until all foreigners in Pekin are SINH
iarIv delivered into the custody Of the
&C:nirals at Taku.
This demand is the supreme test of
Clina's good faith in appealing to
the United States to intercede with the
powers. Failure to deliver MIR. Conger,
Lis associates and ali other foreigners
now in Iekin viii render abortive any
efforts which may be made by this gov
eminent to restore peace, and unless
the american demand is complied with
within the period specified, the powers
will reuoubie their efforts to reach
Pcilin, and the policy of the United
States may undergo a radical change.

This action was the result of the

THE evils resulting from strikes
are alarming. Business IS being
injured and less work and lower
wages will be the result. Employ
ers and employees should not be
unrea eonabe, but should be willing
to live and let live. When wages
rise above a certain point, the en-
ployer increases the price of his
fabrics or be forced out of business
The workmen in demanding short
hours and more pay Will find they
have oyershot the mark. When the
manufacturers cannot compete with
others in the markets, they must
curtaIl expenses, and in the event
Of a shut down the operators Will
lose more than they can gam.
