(By Telegraph to Virginan Pnot)
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Navy De-
partment this afternoon decided to re-
ject all bids for armor plate presented
to the Department yesterday. 1t is
stated at the Department that this
does not mean that the alternative
plan of erecting n government armor
plate factory will be adopted. although
the Secretary of the Navy has at his
disposal $4,000 coo with which to start
such plant in case satisfactory terms
cannot be made with the private man
ufacturers. 1t is stated to-day that
new advertisements will be issued as
speedily as possible, and the contrac-
tors will be given another chance to
put their bids into such shape as will
be acceptable to the government.

The reason assigned for the rejection

does not believe that the despatch is gen.
uine, and has said so to the State Depart
ment He thinks it an Old message.
Rear Adniral Remey, under date of yes
terday. eablsd the Secretary OF the Navy
that he was going to Tientsin on that day
to look into matters there leaving Cap
tain Thomas. Of the Brooklyn, as senior Of
fcer at Taku.
1t is expected that Admiral Rcmey VIII
enquire fully into the strength Of the al
lied fcrces and the Chinese forces with
view to determining more fully in his
own mind whether or not an immediate ed
vance on Pekin is advisable.
! Despite all attempts to lead to a contra
~ belief. it is Absolutely assured that the
date set by the foreign commanders for
the beginning of the movement on Pekin
is July 80 and not August Is. There is
reason TO believe that some OF the oineIals
were honestly misled into the idea that
the latter was the date set and from that
grew the confusion existing yesterday In
regard to the actual time fixed.
There were two messages from Admiral
Remey on the subject and while August
I5 was named in one and July 80 in the
other. without anything to show definitely
which had been set as the result OF the
latest conference, it is now apparent 10
| all who have had an opportunity 10 COM
pare both messages that the date was ad-
vanced from August Is to July 80. 1t is
understood that the foreign commanders
have not agreed that the movement shall
actually begin at the end Of this month,
but have determined .hhat there viii he
enough foreign troops on Chinese soil on
the earlier date to justify an advance on
the capital.
The fact that Admiral Remey has gone
to Tientsin may delay the receipt by the
Navy Department Of the information about
the composition and numbers OF the foreign
| force row ashore for which Secretary Long
asked IN a telegram transmitted last Satur-
day.
AS Admiral Reney's message saying
that he was going to Tientsin came yester-
day he had probably not received the Sec
/ retary's instructions 10 makea report about
the size Of the allied armies, so that he
could not have gone TO TieHtsin On that
! business As the senior officer Of the
United States in China Admiral Remey
viii be in command Of the United States
military forces as well as the United States
! marines at Tientsin, but it is not likely that
he will participate in any Of the land ope-
i raticEs. The opportunity for friction be-
{ tween the Army and the Navy would be
/ too great II this were done.

4 Chicago Incident shows That the
Chinese Are Alert.

CHICAGO. July 23.-The extent 10 which
Chinese here have prepared against MOP
attacks was shown last night when the
police made an arrest in the Chinese quar-
ter. More than leo Cinnamon responded
almost instantly to a distress call.
1t had been reported 10 the Harrison
Street police that Lulu King, the cashier
in a restaurant Of which Moy Yen is pro-
pTietCr, was being fOrcibly detained in the
apartments OF a Chinam3n, and her rescue
was decided on. As three officers approach
ed Yen's place of abode, they were observ-
cd by him from window. The Celest ial
gave a Chinese yell and this set all China
tcyn in cOmmotion. Every door was
swarn1ed with Cinnamon, wio. as they aft-
erwsrd explained 10 the officers. were an
swsring a signal recently adopted to call
them together in case OF danger TO one
Of their number.
When the first rush Of Celestials was
made up a stairway which the officers had
ascended in pursuit Of Moy Yen, the po-
licemen drew their revOlvers and held the
crowd at bay II was soon understood by
the rescuing party that Yea had cleyerly
tricked his countrymen in hope of eluding
the police, and the crowd Of Cinnamon dis
solved

The following bulletin was posted at the
staJe Department this morning:
The State Department today re-
ceived a despatch from Mr.. GOodnow,
the Consul General at Shanghai, dated
today. saying that Prince Tuan wires
that an officer OF the Tsung-li-Yamen
saw all the ministers on the 18th, that
none were injured and that no attack
was al that time being made.
He does not say TO whom the des-
patch Of Prince Taan was addressed;
and it is 10 a certain extent al vari-
anee with the despatch OF Nr- Conger
Of that date, describing the legations
as being under fire at that time.
Those who have held that the alleged
Conger despatch was an o:d message he'd
up by the Chinese authorities, and forward
ed in response 10 the query OF Secretary
Hay. are now certain that they were right
There remain but two arguments - said
a State Department Official. in speaking Of
the message received today. Either the
Conger despatch was an old one which had
been dated by the Tsung-li Yamen. or
Prince Tuau is z prince OF fabricato-s. The
alleged Conger message distinctly sti es,
under date Of July Is that the British Le-
cation building was under continual shot
and she'll and that only immediate aid
could prevent massacre Thereupon Prince
Tuan blandly wires that the ministers in
Pekin we're all safe or July IS, a1d that
no attack was at that time being made.
There is something hshy about the whole
transaction which makes one positive that
the Conger despatch was an old one"
Prince Tuan is the leaSer CT the anti
foreign party il China and is supposed TO
be the commander OF the revoltlng troops
and Boxers who have been attacking the
Legations. His only apparent object in
sending such a message, taking it for
granted that he is the leader OF the revolt

CHICAGO. July Knowing the Chi
nese as I do. l have little doubt that all the
ago" said John p. Roberts, Of Shanghai. an
American civil engineer, who has spent
thirty-eight years in China. At the Audi
torium Hotel ne talked at length about the
present conditions in China. the causes
which led up TO then and the prUbaI.e re-
suits. Many OF the dispatches concern
ing China published in the newspapers are
absurd he SAID. but IL is my opinion that
there are no foreigners alive In Pekin- The
Government is weak and the mob ~
doubtedly got the upper hand
There is only one way TO deal with
those people They should be taken by the
throat and thrashed. The powers make a
mistake when they treat China as a civil
lied power The Chinese are not civilized.
Their Kind Of civilization may be much
older. but they are far behind European
civilization. nevertheless.
An army Of 20 GOO regular troops is all
that is necessary TO take Pekin- An army
OF that size could walk to Pekin with little
resistance. The stories in the newspapers
10 the effect that he Chinese have an army
Of $50 0G0 men are ridiculous. There are
not more than 10000 drilled troops in
China The rest are poorly organized and
poorly armed.
This trouble viii not last more than
two months. II Is impossible for any Chi
nese army 10 hold together long in any
such movement. The people are too cor
rupt. The soldiers are thieves, and as
soon as the troops OF the powers really
meet the Chinese in open fighting. the
movement Will disintegrEte aud those Chi
nese whom YOU hear most CS1ut now as
leaders Of the fighting viii disappear from

citizens, without any interest in the fight
