'The state department has received a dispatch from MT. Fowler, consul at Cheefoo, dated at night, August 2, stat ing that when he learned from the Shanghai papers that doubts were en- tertained of the genuineness of the Conger cipher telegram, he wired on the 27th to the governor of Shan-Tung to send him the original by courier.
 The governor at once complied With his request, sending a special postman, who, by travelling night and day for five days made the Journey, which in ordinary times would have required twelve days. He delivered to MT. Fow- Ter the original of the Conger cipher dispatch.
 Tt is signed by MT. Conger and dated the 17th of July It is precisely the same as the message received at the state department, with several words prefixed, which came in an unintelligi- ble form to the Chinese legation here. The dispatch in it's complete form says that the members of the American le- gation had been besieged for month in the British legation. Mir. Fowler had no doubt of the genuineness of the dis patch"

and others (foreigners) all we'll; not in distress. Relations most friendly. Now conferring as to proper measures to protect various ministers to Tien Tsin for temporary shelter, which conference will soon be ended.
 Yuan, Governor "FoWler" It appears that some misunderstood ing exists as to St. Petersburg dis patch printed here this morning saying that the Chinese minister there and his colleagues in Europe had cabled the governor of Shan Tung demanding that free communication be opened between the Pekin ministers and their respec- tive governments. This communication was in fact joint memorial to the throne concurred in by all Chinese min isters abroad, including Minister Wu in Washington. It was forwarded by Minister Yeng Lu at St. Petersburg, be- cause the latter is the dean of the Chi nese diplomatic service. It was trans mitted through the governor of Shan Tung to be forwarded to Pekin. This action is considered very important as indicating that the Chinese ministers abroad have at least reached unani- nous conclusion that the situation is no longer to be trifled with. Their ac- tion may be regarded as final effort on their part to influence the home gov ernment and its outcome is awaited with great interest.
 Meanwhile, the government of the United States, like the governments of Europe, has not abandoned it's efforts to establish communication with it's at Pelsin by independent means, and the state department has instructed Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai, Consul Fowler at Che Foo, and Consul Ra2sdale at Tien Tsin to spare no effort or expense to open up direct communication with MT. Conger.

GIRL VISITORS ON wARsHIPs.
Even Hard Tack Disappears Before the

Even Hard Tack Disappears Before the Demand for Souvenirs of the Vislt. American memo wars men of the ward room, as we'll as of the fo-c'sle, like to entertain their young women friends aboard ship on the home sta tions. If they happen to be aft girls, the temporary guests and prizes of the ward-room officers, they are generally pressed to remain aboard for bit of luncheon. A good many young women balk at this proposition-not that they see the slightest impropriety in it, but because it Is an ordeal even for very bright girls, this luncheon aboard an American man-of-war. American girls who have done their bit of ship visiting unite in saying that they wish Ameri- can naval officers hadn't fallen into the strange, embarrassing habit of consid- ering their countrywomen all as bril- liant angels right down from above that they have to be on their mettle every instant to keep from falling from the standard.
 Neither officers nor men of man-of- war expect to have much left in the way of small gear after 9 visit from feminine friends. The girls never ask for these things. of course, but they never fail to go ashore with enough to stock bumboat Anything that an American girl sees on board an Ameri- can man-of-war and likes she gets. If she could carry siX-inch rifles the of ficers aft ould probably give her few. The bluejackets are just as generous. Every American warship in commission carries about ten times the number of cap ribbons ever likely to be required for the use of the changing crews. These extra cap ribbons are for the girls. They are not officially made for the girls, but 1t is an understood thing that the girls are to get them. They cost the officer or blueJacket who draws them from the paymaster's stores fif- teen cents each, but if they cost the of- ficer or bluejacket fifteen dollars each, the girls would get them just the same.
 Petty officers in our navy are always shy on rating badges for their watch arms after their ship has been invaded by the girls. The girl innocently re- marks that the anchor or pair of crossed guns or exploding shell or sil- yer wheel on the petty officers arm is pretty. She doesn't have to say any thing else. The petty officer makes for his ditty box for his scissors and cuts

Four Rus sian steamers on tlle Amur river are said to have been sunk or damaged by the Chinese fire.
 The Chinese artillery commanders at Shanghai have formally notified the foreign consuls there that the enlist ments now proceeding are to provide large forces for the protection of for eigners and have expressed the hope that they will not entertain groundless fears or suspicious, adding that the in crease of the army is entirely to secure their safety. As target practice at the Chinese forts alarms foreigners at Shanghai, the commanders announce that if will be abandoned.

HE 4DTESED KRUGFR.
Letter From Member of Parliament Found in Pretoria Archives

London, Aug. 3.-ln response to ques- tions, the secretary for the colonies, Jo- seph Chamberlain, said to-day in the house of commons that the Transvaal and Orange Free State governments, in fleeing from Bloemfontein and Pretoria, left masses of private correspondence among the archives, which the authori- ties on the spot were examining. He had received installments of this corre- spondence by the last two mails, and he had been informed that more was to come The portions he had seen were written before the war and were chiefly letters of British subjects and of the two republics. There were, however, copies of two letters that purported to have been written by an English mem Der of the house of commons and also letters and an extract from letter written by two other members of the house of commons two days before the outbreaking of the war, couched in the form of open criticism, asking for in- formation regarding martial law and suggesting that President Kruger make temporary concessions and await a re- action in England. In his opinion the letters were not reasonable, though certainly improper while her majesty was engaged in difficult negotiations. He proposed to send the letters to the writers and ask if they desired to ex- plain, and he would await a reply be- fore deciding whether to publish them or not The under-secretary for the colonies, the Earl of Selbourne, was questioned in the house of lords to-day concerning alleged reasonable core spondence, and in reply read the expla- nation which MT. Chambers ain had made in the house of commons.
