ton with the Chinese Government be re-
suned.
An encouraging sign in this direction was
furnished to-day by the cablegram from
Ministel Conger through Consul Fowler at
Che-Foo. which Is supposed to have left
Taku on August %, saying that Prince
Ching was expected in Pekn within a few
days.
In q recent dispatch. Mr. Conger stated
that several members of the Tsung Ii
Yamen We're in Pekin and would soon ap-
pear publicly.
Mr.. Conger's statement that there was 9
military promenade of all the n.ltio Is
through the Imperial Palace is the subject
of considerable discussion here. The pur-
pose of this international grand march is
not clear to the officials here. unless 1t be
part Of a rubbing in process designed
to impress the Chinese. which the allies
have inaugurated. The more conservative
officials hope that the American troops TOOK
no part in the affair.
Japan's Action Mt Annoy.
The action of the japanese Government
in withdrawing from Annoy the troops or
marines which have aroused the suspicion
of the European Powers has done much to
clarity the situation. BY this disclaimer
of Il purpose to seize Chinese territory.
Japan has avoided entering a wedge which
might result in the splitting up of the
Chinese Empire among the Powers. 1t
now remains for Russia to take similar ac
tion as to the Russian forces at New
Chwang, and from the private intimations
that have been conveyed to the State De-
partment, Russia has assured us that this
occupation has been merely military and
temporary. 1t was necessary. in view of
the interruption OF the Russian railroad in
the Upper Peninsula. to seize upon New
Chwang to supply by sea the Russian forces
to the northward. but within their own ter
ritory.
The State Department to-day received
telegram from its special commissioner to
investigate and report upon conditions i'll
China, Mr.. w w Rockhill. dated at
Shanghai to-day. saying that he was
about to leave for Pekin. Short messages
descriptive of the situation in Annoy and
Shanghai were received from the Consuls
at those points, but. being devoid Of in
terest. they were not published.

publication, striving to convey the impress
sion that the report of the interdiction re-
ferred 10 something that had occurred in
the early part of July. He went sc far as to
leave Minister WI Ting Fang-who declared
that such action would be an act of war
against China--under t'rat impression. The
publication of the cor -. ..ondence, however.
is ample proof of the accuracy of the story.
Russia's interest in preventing Ii Hung
Chang from being held up at Taku Is ex-
planned by the report current here that 1t
was the German Admiral who originated
the resolution looking to the Introduction Of
the envoy. The relations between the Car
and the Kaiser are strained. and the desire
of one Is certain to be combatted by the
other. Russia suspected Germany of some
Interior design in proceeding against Earl
Ii, and SO took upon herself the RESPONSE
bility of blocking her neighbor's game. In
this she has been joined. as the official cor
respondence plainly shows. by the United
States. Japan is also counted on by them
for support. which leaves Great Britain and
Germany aligned on the opposite side.
1t IS hoped here that Japan and Britain
may be induced to hold themselves aloof
from participation In the interdiction
scheme. unless. of course. LII Hung Chang
IS already In the tolls. which is believed
here by many ID be the case. Italy and
Austria, who's emembership in the Dreibund
presuppcses leaning toward Germany, are
not regarded as important factors, and
France probably will be found following
Russia's lead.
Wednesday Nights Note.
The notes sent to the Powers last night
by the United States were supplemental
and more comprehensive than the one here
published, and emphasized the importance
Of the establishment of peace in China as
soon as practicable.
1t is apparent that unless Germany can
muster coalition of Powers stronger than
is now thought possible by the United States
and Russia her hand will be forced.
As explained in these dispatches last
night. the first step desired by the Russian
and American governments is the with
drawal of the allied forces from Pekin. This
being done. it is hoped that the Emperor
and Empress will return and cOmmun.ca-

Mr.. Teutenberg perceived at once that the

When Mr.. Teutenberg first came to the

Rhine. in Germany, about six months be-

Say Mckinley Has Given the South
Slap in the Face.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

Marking the Graves of Confederate Prison
Dead. of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
asked permission of President Mckinley to
erect monument in the National Cemetery
at Germantown, Philadelphia.
The President referred the request to the
Secretary of War. who refused it on the
ground that ''only Congress could give the
permission"
This is a slap in the face from the Gov
ernment to the SOUTH Mrs. Randolph said
to-day. The Richmond Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confedcracy and the Phil
adelphia Chapter worked faithfully for
three years to get the funds for the monu-
ment. Many contributions came unsolicit-
ed from men of the Northern army.
Recently President Mckinley spoke Of
reunited country and of the time when the
graves of the Confederate dead would be
cared for by the National Government
"If Congress is as afraid as the President
of recognizing the Confederate prison dead,
we will place the monument in their honor
in Richmond. Va This course may be
forced upon us because they are denied rec
ognition by reunited country"
There are thirteen cemeteries in which
the Daughters of the Confederacy wish TO
erect simple shafts.

BRITAIN VIEWS CARS
MOVE WITH SUSPICION.
United States Believed to Be Sincere-Stoog Feeling Against
Evacuation of Pekn.

London, Aug 81. $50 n. m.-The Russo
American surprise" as it is called. is the
chief feature of the morning papers. Nhiie
Russia's part in the proposal is Regarded
with considerable suspicion. it Is Generaiiy
recognized that the flight of the Empress
Dowager and the Emperor renders the sit
uation extremely difficult. and. therefore,
that IT might be wise to adopt the Russo
American programme as the best solution
of the problem.
At the same time. very strong feeling
IS displayed in favor of a more vigorous
line of policy The Daily Graphic says:
The United States are almost morbidiy
anxious to wash their hands of the Chinese
embarrassment This has long been appar-
ent But it Is rather surprising to hear that
their anxiety is shared by Russia. With the
possible exception OF Germany, there is
probably no other Power that would seri-
ously object to the evacuation of Pekin.'
Against Evacuation.
The Daily Mail observes:
probably Russia, with the assistance Of
the United States and France. hopes to die
tate to the other Powers Far Eastern
policy insuring the accomplishment of Rus
sian designs, which would be greatly faciii-
tated bv the acceptance of ii Hung Chang
rs plenipotentiary. The Powers should re-
fuse to accept any Intermediary or to evac-
uate Pekin. which would only be inter-
preted as n sign of weakness
The Daily Press and the Daily Chronicle
protest against placing any reliance on the
professions of Ii Hung Chang or of the
Chinese authorities.
On RussiR's Reasons.
The Standard says:
ut is not easy to overrate the importance
OF the decision of the United States. The
desire of both Washington ard st. Peters
burg to withdraw from Pekin is very in
telligiblc. Public opinion in America is
averse to foreign complications. while Rus
sa has discovered that conditions are not
propitious for her schemes of conquest. She
lacks the necessary large army, and wants
the Transsiberian Railway completed be-
f,re she can stretch her arms over North
ern Asia.
THE Powers must. however, retain their
hold on the capital Withdrawal although
not inconsistent with the dignity Of the
Washington Government would be quite
impracticable for the others. 1t would be
counted as a triumph by the anti-foresn
party in China, and represented throughout
the Empire as due to the cowardice of Eu-
rope"
The Daily News says:
considering that the Empress Dowaser
openly encouraged the attacks upon the
foreigners. the suggestion that the imperial
personagcs are to return to Pekin is rather
startling. and the latest development Of

SECRETARY ROOT IN CUBA.
Wants to Be In Personal Touch
With Cuba's Needs.
FIRST ELECTIONS COME IN MAY

Havana, March IT, Secretary Root
said when interviewed by the CORES
pendent of the Associated Press, that
he had come to Cuba for two reasons.
In the first place he desired to see for
himself the working of the various de-
partments, civil and military, and to
investigate, SO far as possible, the
character of the work accomplished.
In the second place he desired to see
as many representative men as possible,
including all the business interests, in
order to feel that he was in personal
touch with the requirements of the
island.
He now felt that the Cubans had
done wonders, considering the nature
Of the strife that had devastated the
country for so long time. Their con-
duct and amiability had greatly inn
pressed him and he was satisfied from
all that he had seen that they were
capable of self-government.
1T is necessary, of course, toprepare
for this said Mr.. Root, "by practical
experience. Nor should it be cause
for surprise if the first municipal cleo
tions should not bring to the surface
the best elements of the country.
Work of preparation is deemed neces'
sary even by the most radical Cubans.
AS soon as the proper explanations are
made to them they recognize that time
must elapse before race, unaquainted
with the simplest forms of government
will become able to manage public
affairs absolutely without assistance.
''There is no doubt that the United
States will keep faith with the Cuban
people and the joint resolution of con-
gress will be carried out. But just
exactly when, it is impossible TO say
The municipal elections which will
take place on May l, will prove the
first lesson, the object is to give mu
inequalities home rule in the very
broadcast sense, making each self sup
porting and making the elected officials
answerable to their own people"

as result of the passage of the new

change of old bonds for the new, in
one day amounted to about $27, ZOO, 900,
all but about 100000 coming from
national banks. The clerical force in
the Office of the comptroller of the cur
rency is busy examining applications
for authority to establish national
banks under the new law Very many
of these come from small towns, which
hitherto were debarred from national
bank privileges by the national bank
act. About 200 of these applications
have been received and favorable action
was taken on number of them.
A considerable number of state
banks have applied for authority to
convert themselves into national banks.

A Monkeys RIGHTS at Issue.

Florello, by profession a hand organ
list, was hauled into the temple of JUS
tice to answer charge of cruelty to
animals, in that he was utilizing a
barefooted monkey in the collection
OF his precarious income. After a
careful research into the law Of domes-
tic relations the court reached the con-
clusion that Signor Florello. was under
no legal obligation to furnish his
friend with footwear, and the case was
accordingly dismissed.
