PICHON's LAST MESSAGE
Informs Government That Legation
Is subsIstinG on Siege RntiOns.

Informs Government That Legation
Is subsistins on Siege RntiOns.
PARIS, Aug. 15-The French foreign
office has received the following dispatch
from the minister Of France at Pekin,
NJ Pichon, dated Aug. 8:
1--WE have been advised that Ii Hung
Chang Is charged to negotiate telegraph
ically with the powers. We are ignor-
ant Of the events occurring outside the
legation. 1t is surrounded by hostile
defenses. How could we negotiate with
out the diplomatic corps regaining its
rights and The legation grounds being
evacuated? If the negotiations prevent
the march of the allied troops, which Is
our only salvation, we risk falling into
Chinese hands. The section wherein
lies the French legation is occupied by
imperial troops, who have not entirely
ceased to fire. We are reduced TO siege
rations. We have provisions, horses, rice
and bread for fifteen days"
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from the French consul at Can
ton:
"An is quiet here. In the district of
Swatow the agitation against the Chris
fans and missionaries is alarming. Many
missions in hat region have been pillaged
and burned The viceroy and myself
have decided each to send a delegate
TO make an investigation and re-estab-
lish order. With the view of giving
weight to the mission and to show that
accord exists between the mandarin and
the consulate the commission sails on the
French warship Comet"

COMMENT IN BERLIN.
Rapid Progress of Allies Admitted
waIdersee Preparing to Leave.

WaIdersee Preparing to Leave.
BERLIN, Aug. 15-The German govern
ment now admits that the advance upon
PeIsfn is well under way, having re-
ceiyed official confirmatory dispatches To-
day. The foreign office Is greatly as
tonished at the rapid advance OF the IN
formation troops, but surmises that the
Chinese will make one more desperate
stand before the allies reach the capital.
This evening the Berlin papers contain
a statement that Prince Won Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, is about to re-
sign. AS a matter of fact he has taken
hardly any share in Germanys war
like China policy, although under the
terms of the constitution of the empire
the chancellor is solely responsible to the
nation in that connection. After dlligent
inquiry the correspondent Of the Asso-
ctated Press is able to assert that Prince
Won HohenIohe does not intend to resign
in the near future. Several leading pa
pers. however, express dissatisfaction at
what they call Emperor Williams per-
sonal regime, regarding China and the
''fgureheadism of Hohenlohe.
The Berlin Tageblatt says this condi-
ton of things gravely Injuries the I'M
portance Of the chancellor's office. All
the papers, including the Berliner Post,
the K1euse Zeftung, the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung the Berliner Tageblatt, the
Frankfort Zeitung, the Schlesische lei
tung and the Hanover Courier, demand
the summoning Of the reichstag in extra
session.
The Colongne Gazette, in the course of
an inspired article, says:
American readiness, after the rescue
| of the members of the legations, % In
tervene for peace, promises small sue
cess, since the powers today make the
highest demands, while the Chinese are
only willing to grant trif1es."
Next Saturday Emperor William will
receive at Wilhelmshohe Field Marshal
Count -WaIdersee, together with his
entire staff, and Countess Won Walder-
see. The field marshal will be present
ed with field marshaPs baton. All the
guests of the kaiser will participate in
the parades and be present at the ban
quet in honor of the SEVENTEEN birthday
of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The actual dates when the additional
1900 men will leave Bremerhaven for
China have now been fixed. Eight steam
ers will sail on Aug. 81, Sept and Sept.
Z, carrying also much artillery, including
howitzer and shells.
Several letters have been received here
from the captain of the German gunboat
Iltis describing the experience of that
warship. One appears in this evening 8
papers, giving a graphic account of the
Taku fight. The writer exclaims: And
what q shamel All the enemy's guns and
the shells that killed our brave fellows
came from home. All the guns are the
latest Krupp quick firers."

LONDON, Aug. 1s, $3.50 a. m.-"The al
lies are reported to have reached Pekin
Monday" says the Shanghai correspond
ent Of the Daily Express, wiring yester-
day He adds: Chinese official news
confirms this statement, but without de-
tails"
A Paris message repeats this, but the
Shanghai, must be accepted with consid-
cradle reserve.
Other morning papers basing their re-
marks upon Washington dispatches,
which, with the exception of the forego-
ing from Shanghai, form the latest news
regarding the advance, are divided in
opinion, some believing that the allies
must already have reached Pekin, and
others preferring to believe that the re-
lief will not be accomplished until the
end of the week.
Telegraphing from Yang Tsun, Aug.
8, Daily News correspondent says: Sir
Alfred Gasalee hopes to keep the enemy
running, and to follow him right into
Pekin''
Ngan Ping was occupied without firing
a shot, according to a dispatch to the
Daily Express from that place dated Aug.
IL
"It is believed" the message adds,
that Gems. Tung Fuh Slang, Ma and
Chung are intrenching, 10000 strong. at
Tung Chow. The allies may avoid Tung
Chow, pursuing the route northwest from
Chang Kai Wan"
Tung Chow appears to be about twelve
miles from Peking. A dispatch to the
same paper from Shanghai, dated yes
terday, says that the officials profess to
be willing to hand over the foreign min
listers, their families and servants, but
will not permit the departure Of native
Christians.
1.-THE Russian government" continues
this telegram, 'has notified Ii Hung
Chang of Its willingness to receive NJ.
de Giers outside the walls of Pekin, thus
avoiding the entrance of the Russian
force This Independent action is cal
culated to embarrass the allies seriously.
Japan demands that Gen. Yung Lu shall
meet the allies outside the city gates
and deliver the ministers and all the ma
tive Christians"
The Chinese minister in London. Sir
Chih Chen Lofenglu, is quoted as say
ing:
1.-THE powers must not press too hard
on Pekin If you defeat the Chinese SOL
diers it will not be possible to control the
soldiery They may turn and rend the
legations 1 do not believe the lega-
ton food supply will be stopped as long
as the powers refrain from attacking
Pekin and negotiate for the surrender
of the ministers.
The Times has the following dispatch
from Shanghai dated Tuesday:
The viceroy has Withdrawn his opposl-
ton to the landing Of British troops on
condition that this does not entail the
presence Of other forces, but Instructions
have been received from the British gov
ernment that the Decentralization Is to
await further orders. The fact is gen.
orally known that Great B.itain is hes
itating. The pubic, official and unofficial,
is unanimously of the opinion that with
drawal at this stage would be deploraole,
and would produce the worst results.

they could be found and brutally beaten.
The blacks at first offered resistance but
they were so soon outnumbered that they
led without delay. For full hour the
street was filed with a rioting surging
MOB. 1t was a scene on much the same
order as took place a few days ago in
New Orleans New York has seldom had
its equal. The shouting of the men, the
shrieking Of the women, the lamentations
Of the children, the shooting of revolvers
crashing of windows and all made per-
feet pandemonium.
The policemen in other parts did much
clubbing, but the injured men were all

A dozen negroes employed in the Hotel
Cadillac got through with their work and
tried to go home. The first one out of
the door was set ON by fifty or more
newsboys. He fed back into the hotel,
and with broom knocked down two of
the boys A policeman then charged the
crowd Policeman Edward Gibson was
chasing some of the boys through Long
Acre square when fifteen-year-old Frank
o. Minogue tried to get between Gibson's
legs and trip him, Gibson swung his
club and broke the boys arm. He was the
first white arrested
George Walker, a colored vocalist was
beaten, but escaped. Clarence Logan,
negro, was terribly beaten. Four white
men were arrested: Henry Miller, twenty
four years old; John Shilax twenty-five; i;

would take every precaution for prevent
ing recurrence of the outbreak
The police early this morning battered
down the door Of a house in West For
t1eth street and arrested a negro who
gave his name as James z. Harris and
woman who claimed to be his wife.
Harris tallies with the description of
the alleged murderer of Policeman
Thorpe. The owner Of the place where
Harris lived said he had lived there
but short time.
At PAS this morning a heavy police
guard was being maintained along the

Before accepting the. title he did not ask
congress to grant him the privilege, and
he therefore is said to be ineligible be-
cause he forfeited his citizenship by ac-
cepting the honor without permission OF
the United States authorities. If, this
proves true. Barker must step down and
out Ignatius Donnelly would succeed
him as a candidate, some one else being
chosen as as a candidate for vice presi-
