GREAT BRlTAIN's ATTITUDE.
Escape OF the Imperial Family In-
creases the Difficulties In China.

LONDON, Aug. 93.-The official Japan
csc statement that the allies captured
the imperial city Aug. 16 only to find
that the dowager empress, emperor and
chiefs of the Manchu party had escaped
previously has not caused much surprise
here. 1t was hardly expected that the
empress dOwager and her counsellorS
would allow themselves to be caught.
The difficulties of the situation are gen.
orally regarded as increased by the es-
cape of these imperial personages, since
the allies will now have to discover or
invent de faoto government in China
if they desire to begin negotiations.
The attitude of the British foreign
officer at present is one Of expectation
and deliberation. 1t is not too much to
say that they have no definite plan for
the future settlement. but are waiting
to hear from Sir Claude Macdonald, Sir
Robert Hart and General Gaselee, by
whose opinions they will be very largely
guided.
General satisfaction is felt here at the
close association of the British and
Americans on the march and In the final
assault. It is remembered that 1t was
in China that the famous saying "bloed
is thicker than water" was first uttered.
Admiral Seymour, in an interesting let
ter published, paid high tribute to the
Americans and said for dash and go
none of the other oontingents surpassed
or perhaps equalled them.

NEGROES DYING LIKE SHEEP.
Terrible Suffering Among the Inhab-

Terrible Suffering Among the Inhab-
itaRts of the Sea Islands.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 23.-The unprece-
denied heat wave which has been hang
ing over this immediate section for the
past ten days or more has played deadly
havoc with poor negroes living on the
sea islands along the coast. From adj
vices received here it appears that the
negroes have been dying from fever,
which is primarily caused from the heat
and allowed to thrive because the sick
cannot get the medical attention re-
quired in such cases.
Undertaken Livingston states that the
negroes are dying like sheep and that
when they become i'll Of the fever they
simply have to wait their turn to die.
The sea islands are densely populated
with negroes, and in the low swamps,
where malaria thrives, the negroes are
left to suffer the fierce heat through the
days and nights Of the agonizing fever,
and the crisis is generally passed with
death.
In some of the sections the voodoo
doctors have been making more victims
for the undertakers. These are the
witch people, and there are hundreds Of
them on the islands, who believe that a
little magic is all-sufficient to heal
disease

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The state
department. has made public the CORE
spondence between Lii Hung Chang and
the state department. Following is a
cablegram dated Aug. 10, from Viceroy
Ii Hung Chang:
''It was the declaration of all the min
listers for foreign affairs of the great
powers that the expedition of the allied
troops was solely for the rescue of the
ministers in Picking. Now the allied
troops having entered Picking and found
the ministers safe it seems proper that
hostilities should at once cease and that
negotiations should commence /, there
fore, request the United States govern
ment to appoint an envoy with full
powers or appoint the minister now in
Picking for the purpose, as he is necessa-
rily acquainted with the affair between
Chinese and the foreigners, and inform
me if the conference will take place in
Picking. After receipt of a definite re-
ply will at once proceed to the north.
Please request the secretary of state to
lay the matter before his excellency, the
president. await reply"
Another cablegram from Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang, dated Aug. 81, is as fol-
lows:
"The Boxer rebels in Peking, having
been dispersed, there will be positively
no more fighting. The military opera
tions on the part of the powers are
greatly to be deplored. Besides urging
the cessation of hostllities, please confer
with the secretary of state on the sub
ject of the withdrawal of troops and the
appointment of plenipotentiary to me-
gotiate a settlement of all other ques-
tions, so as to preserve amicable reia-
tions. | await an early reply"
State Departments Reply.
Following is the reply of the govern
ment, forwarded to Ii Hung Chang by
Minister WI, signed by Acting Secre-
tary Adee:
"While the conditions set forth in the
memorandum delivered to the Chinese
minister Aug. 10 have not been fulfilled,
and the powers have been compelled to
rescue their ministers by force of arms,
unaided by the Chinese government,
still this government is ready to well
come any overtures for truce, and in
vite the other powers to join, when Sc
curity is established in the Chinese cap
1tal and the Chinese government shows
it's ability and Willingness to make, on
it's part, an effective suspension of hos
tilities there and elsewhere in China.
When this done-and we hope it will be
done promptly-the United States will
be prepared to appoint plenipotentiary
to join with the representatives of other
similarly interested powers and of the
authoritative and responsible govern
ment Of the Chinese empire to attain
the ends declared in our circular to the
powers Of July 8, 1900"

MAYOR CALLED TO ORDER.
He Created Considerable Excitement
at the Meeting of Council.

ATLANTA, Aug. 23.--Considerable ex-
element and comment was caused at
the meeting of council when it became
necessary for Mayor Pro. Tenn. Mayson
to call Mayor James G. Woodward to
order several times.
Mr.. Mayson's efforts were aided by
councilman and aldermen, who made
motions and points of order until finally
Marshal Tolbert persuaded the mayor to
cease talking and remain seated.
Mayor Woodward's rambling talks
were on the waterworks situation and
he openly charged that council is en-
gagged in an effort to sell the city's
waterworks system.
His presence was a total surprise to
council members, and his condition a
shock. Despite the ruling of the pre-
siding officer, he addressed the body
after he had been called to order for IN
terrupting Judge Hillyer, who had the

ALL NEGOTIATIONS ARE OFF.
Full Significance of Americas Reply
to Lii Hung Chang.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The latest
exchange of notes between China and
United States for the cessation of hostil-
tiles was given out by the state depart
ment this morning. The interest cen,
tered in the American reply, which was
found to bear out the forecasts made
yesterday and to lay down firmly and
briefly the condition upon which the
United States would take up overtures
for a truce. The reply was sent for
ward last night. 1t seems to be ao-
cepted as bringing all negotiations to
halt for the present and 1t is difficult to
foresee what the next move will be.
This was couched In diplomatic lam
guage, but officials Of the government
in position to know the attitude of this
country state that 1t Is q great assump-
ton on the part of Earl Ii to intimate
that the conditions imposed by this gov
eminent have been fulfilled.
Under these conditions the troops Of
the United States, together with such
reinforcements as seem desirable, will
remain in China

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 23.-Two

that several negro tramps were discov-
cred in an empty box car and when or
dered out resisted and a general fight
followed, several of them being wound
ed. Another report is that there was a
clash between the whites and blacks at
Flomaton and that the two railroad ne
