PEK|A RELIEF COLUMN
Reported to Have Reached
the Chinese Capital on
Last Monday.
BRITISH COMMANDERS PLAN
HOPED TO KEEP THE ENEMY Run
MING TO PEKIV.
Then to Follow Him Right into tho
City-Chinese Officials Profess to be
willing to Hand Over the Ministers
Russfa's Action Regarding Its Envoy
Likely to Em rrass the Allies.

London, Aug 1850 a. m.-"The al
lies are reported to have reached Pekin
Monday" says the Shanghai correspon-
dent of the Daily Express, wiring yes
terday He adds: "Chinese official news
confirms this statement, but without de-
tails
A Paris message repeats this, but the
statement, especially at is emanates
from Shanghai, must be accepted with
considerable reserve. Other London
morning papers, basing their remarks
upon Washington dispatches, which.
with the exception of the foregoing
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, Au-
gust 6, Daily News correspondent
says: "Sir Alfred Gaselee hopes to
keep the enemy running and to follow
him right into Pekin.'
Nang Ping was occupied without fir
ing shot, according to a dispatch to
the Daily Express from that place dat
ed August II. 1T is believed" the
message adds, "that Generals Tung Fuh
Slang, Ma and Chung are intrenching
10000 strong at Tung Chow. The allies
may avoid Tung Chow, pursuing the
route to the west from Chang K!a Wan.
Tung Chow appears to be about twelve
miles from Pekin."
A dispatch to the same paper from
Shanghai, dated yesterday, says that
the officials profess to be willing TO
hand over the foreign ministers heir
families and servants, but will not per-
init the departure of native Christians.
THE Russian government, continues
this telegram, has notified LII Hung
Chang of its willingness to receive ~.
de Giers outside the walls of Peki3,
thus avoiding the entrance of the Rus
sian force. This independent action Is
calculated to embarrass the allies seri-
ously. Japan demands that General
Yung Lu shall meet the allies outside
the city gates and deliver the ministers
and all the native Christians"
The Chinese minister in London is
quoted as saying: THE powers must
not press too hard on Pekin. If you
defeat the Chinese soldiers it will not
be possible to control the soldiery They
may turn and rend the legations. l do
not believe the legation food supply
will be stopped so long as the powers
refrain from attacking Pekin and ne
gotiate for the surrender of the minis

A RACE RIOT IN NEW YORK
MOB TRIES TO AYENGE 4 POLICE
MANS MURDER.
Negroes I'm Vicinity OF Ninth Avenue
and Thirty-seventh Street Flee for
Their Liyes-FOllr Hundred Police Re-
serves Called Out Eight Hundred Po-
licemen Required to Restore Order.

New York, Aug. ia mob Of sew
eral hundred persons formed at II
o'clock tonight In front Of the home
of Policeman Robert ]. Thorpe, Thir-
ty-seventh street and Ninth avenue, to
wreak vengeance upon the negroes of
that neighborhood because one of their
race had caused the policeman's death
The negroes fed in terror into any hid
ing place they could find The police
reserves numbering four hundred were
called out and they, with the regular
force, fought the mob. The mob of
white men which grew with great ra-
pidity ragged through the district and
negroes regardless of age or sex were
unfortunately attacked scores being
injured. 1t took the combined efforts of
the reserves with as many more police
men on regular patrol duty to restore
order. Clubs were used until the po-
licemen were almost exhausted. Re-
volvers were emptied into the air and
in one or two instances fired at the up
per stories of the negro tenements,
from which the negroes defensively
fired bricks paving stones and other
missiles. That many negroes were not
killed outright is miraculous for the
mob was frenzied. The trouble grew
out of the death Of Policeman Robert
Thorpe of West Thirty-seventh street
station as the result of a murderous as
sault by a negro early Sunday in
Eighth avenue and Forty-first street
Thorpe was attempting to arrest
negress when Arthur Harris and an
other negro attacked the policeman
with razors He died the following

WASHINGTON VERY C4REFUL
Not to Give Out Anything Likely to
Further Imperil ENJOYS.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The feeling
among officials here to-day was shown
in the extreme circumspection thrown
about all messages relating to China,
and it was announced both al the state
and war departments that any commu-
nication from Minister Conger or the
United States consulS concerning af-
fairs in China would not be made pub
lie. 1t was explained that this was in
no way due to any desire to keep from
the public information of an important
character, but was based solely on the
fact that the crisis involved so many
possibilities Of extreme hatred to the
eight hundred legationers in Pekin that
the greatest caution must be observed
against disclosures which would further
tmperil those in danger.

WILL BE IN WASHINGTON TO- Day.
MckinIey's Return VIII be Followed by
Conference

Washington, Aug 15.-The arrival of
President Mckinley tomorrow is look
ed forward to with great interest in
view of the gravity of the Chinese cri-
sis. The presidential party will be here
early tomorrow morning. and an ex-
tended conference between the presi-
dent, Secretary Root, Acting Secretary
Adee and others is likely to occur early
in the day. This probably will assulua
the aspect of a cabinet conference, if,
indeed, it is not felt desirable to hold
a special cabinet meeting. The regular
meeting day of the cabinet is on Fri-
day, at which time there will be further
opportunity OF going over the Chinese
development.

in Only a Few Wards.

While the republican caucuses held in
every ward in the city last night
aroused much interest there were few
contests. TIE chief interest centerd in
the election of the delegates to the city
convention which Is to elect four dele
gates to the state convention. AS a re-
suit of the caucuses it appeared last
night that there had been elected to this
city convention seventytthree deleagtes
who favor the election of four Warner
delegates to the state convention and
thirteen who favor the election of Nc
Leanhelegates. twas generally thought
last night that Warner delegates had
been chosen in the following wards:
First Second A, Third Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth. Tenth,
Eleventh and Fourteenth wards. and
Mclean delegates in the Second 4,
Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fifteenth
wards.
There is possibility that later de-
velopments may change the delegations
somewhat from the estimate mentioned

DECLARATIONS FOR BRYAN
PROCEEDINGS OF ANTT-TMPERL-
.ALISTs' LIBERTY CONGRESS.

A Small Attendance But Much Enthusi-
ssm-BoutyyeII Turns HIS Back on the
Republican Party and Will Vote for
Bryan-Hts Address Strongly De-
nounces rIcKtnIey-A Letter From
Bourke Cochran.
Indianapolis. Aug. 15.-The first days
sessions of the Liberty congress Of the
National anti-Imperialistic league We're
somewhat disappointing so far as the
attendance of delegates was concerned.
About three hundred accredited dele
gates were present, and more are prom
ised for tomorrow In spite Of the
small attendance the speeches of Edwin
Burritt Smith, the temporary chairman,
and George S. Boutwell,, the permanent
president, brought forth much enthusi-
asm. The public meeting in the even
ing was much better attended, and the
reading of Bourke Cockran's letter was
the signal for tremendous applause.
Mr.. Cochran in concluding his letter
said: "The best evidence of our capac-
ity to deal with the issues of 1902 or
1904, whatever they may be, IS to deal
intelligently now with the issues of 1900
On that issue Mr.. Bryan stands for JUS
tice, liberty and the constitution, and,
since all these would be imperilled by
his defeat, 1t IS to be hoped that the
Liberty convention will not be swerved
from supporting him by prejudices
springing from past antagonisms or by
groundless apprehensiops Of the fu-
ture."
But the greatest demonstration of the
convention, so far. came in the after
noon, when the venerable George S.
Boutwell,, ex-governor of Massachusetts
and secretary of the treasury In the
cabinet of President Grant, concluded
his address as permanent chairman
with the declara tion that he had turned
his back on the republican party and
should support Bryan for president.
The delegates rose in their seats and
rendered the ex-governor an ovation
that lasted several minutes. Tonnlin-
son hall was elaborately decorated with
American flags and with portraits of

early In the day to the navy depart

Matow about twenty miles from Pekin.
This occurred Friday or Saturday,
though the despatch from General
Chaffee, sent through Admiral Remey,
was not sufficiently definite to locate
the exact time of reaching Matow. But
in any event, three or four days have
elapsed since then and there has been
time for still further advance toward
the imperial city. The text of the

Washington, Aug. 15.-It is expected
that the German force now on it's way
to China will land in the vicinity of Lin
Yu, which is directly east of Pekin. The
advantages of this point are found in
the fact that ice Will not interfere with
the going and coming Of ships with sup
plies. 1t also is said that the road from
Lin Yu to Pekin is much better than
that between Tien Tsin and Pekin as
the ground Is higher and the country
more suitable for military operations.
