protection Of the legations and all for
eiEners therein.
we are advised by Minister Conger
that, in his opinion, for the foreign
ministers to leave Pekin as proposed
in the edict of Aug. would be certain
death. In view Of the fact that the
imperial troops are now firing upon
the legations. and in view of the doubt
expressed by the imperial government
ia its edict of Aug. as to its power
to restore order and secure absolute
safety in Pekin, it is evident that this
apprehension is well founded. for If
your government cannot protect our
minister in Pekin, il will presumptive-
" be unable to protect him upon a
journey from Pekin TO the coast"
The use of the word demand" in the
American note thoroughly indicates
the urgency of the message. In the
technical paTlance of diplomacy It diff
fers from an ultimatum, which usually
fixes a date, or sets a time within
which there must be compliance, the
lack of compliance during the stated
time being a ground fer war. While
demand is less specific as TO time OF
compliance, It none the less asserts a
positive right which the government
will enforce, if the right be not con-
ceded. Owing to the difficulties of
communication with Pekin, it is ex-
pected that some days must elapse be-
fore an answer can be received, and
there is a disposition to grant all
reasonable time for this transmission.
Late in the day the state department
received an important dispatch from
Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
announcing the landing OF British
troops at that point. The consul gen
eral did not state that he had pro-
tested against this action. and tire
state department judged from this that
no protest would have been made by
him in the absence of instructions.
He stated, however, that the mer-
chants OF the city strongly disapproved
the landing OF British troops, fearing
that II would incite the anti-fOreign
Chinese TO hostiltles. The govern
ment at Washington has taken no ac-
ton in the nature of a protest. and
it is stated officially that no such ac-
tion viii be taken. On the contrary,
the United States government recog-
nizes the right of any power to pro-
tect its citizens or their interests when
they are supposed to be in jeopardy.

Clayton, Aug. 10.-Herbert Haines.
Clayton's night watchman who was shot
by negro tramp on Wednesday night.
died from the effects Of his injuries at $50
o'clock this morning He leaves a wife
and four children.
The accounts of the shooting published
in the various papers were much garbled.
When the reporter for the Evening Jour
nal visited Mr.. Haines' residence last
night the injured man was under the in
fuence of ether and could not be seen.
Later DIR. J. G. Cobb, who was an eve
witness Of the shooting and William
Weber, one of the men with Officers
Haines and Charles Hutchins, were in
terviewed
Mr. Weber says 81 was not employed
TO assist Hutchns and Haines. but went
along out of curiosity. When the freight
stopped in front Of the flower garden just
north Of the depot we inspected the first
car, that next to the engine, and found no
one but heard some one talking In the
second car we found two men. Hutchins
flashed his lantern in the car (the doors
on either side were Open) and told the
men 20 come out. They were both ne
groes and appeared to be in a surly mood.
Upon their failure 10 leave the car.
Haines said TO me; VIII. go in and get
them out i jumped into the car and
aold the darkies they must leave and be
quick about 1t. l walked around back Of

The larger man jumped first and fell
almost IN Officer Haines' arms. A
struggle ensued and just as l reached the
ground l saw a fash Of fire. followed by
the crack of a revolver and then the ne
gro ran toward the flower garden. He
evidently did not see the wire fence and
struck 1t with considerable force. falling
over 1t. Picking himself up he ran across
the enclosure and jumped the opposite
fence, starting toward Smyrna. In the
meantime Hutchins ran from the oppo-
site side from us and began shooting at
the teeing man. Passing the Bingham
House, the tramp saw gate open and
made for it.

at first incomprehensible, In view of
the fact that fighting had actually oc-
CURED. But the later statement that
the international force would total 50.-
600 men on the 10th appears to make
clear Gen. Terauchi's meaning and to
reconcile it with Gen. Chaffee's dis
patches. The present movement, Of
some 10000 men. doubtless is viewed
in the light Of a reconnaissance in
force, the main movement OF the army
Of $4,000 to follow on the 18th.
This makes clear the meaning Of
Gen. Chaffees dispatch that Yangtsun
was the objective point The war de-
partment here has been considerably
puzzled over this statement of an OBJ
jective point, far short of Pekin. It
would appear, however, from Gen.
Terauchi's dispatch that the first force
OF $4,000 men, having opened up COM
munications to Yangtsun, brought for
ward supplies and established this ad-
vance base, the way would then be
clear for the advance of the larger
force on the 18th. The capture of
Yangtsun is, therefore, an important
strategic branch of the fast maturing
military plans. The place is about IS
miles beyound Tien Tsin, and little
less than a quarter Of the way to
Pekin.
Col. Scriven's statement wire up"
contains much meaning, as 1t is ac-
cepted as showing that there IS direct
telegraphic communication with the
army in the field. Aside from the as
Eurance this gives OF speedy transmits
sion of news from the front, it gives
the additional assurance that the line
of communication is intact back to the
first base of operations. The capture
of Yangtsun on the day following the
battle of Pietsang is regarded as a
highly successful military achievement,
especially in view of the fact that it
was looked upon as a stronghold
whose capture might give the foreign
ers considerable trouble.
Aside from the military develop
ments of the day. the diplomatic as
pect Of the crisis was made more clear
by the publication of the demand made
by the United States on the imperial
government OF China. and transmitted
70 Minister WI Wednesday evening.
The document is in substance as fol-
lows:

tion Of hostile attacks by imperial

to be Shot
TO CONCENTRATE THE TROOPS
Beers Had Planned to Set Fire 10 The
Buildings in the Capital Of
the TranSVaaI

London Aug 1O.-The Daily News
has the following dispatch from Pre-
toria, dated Aug. 8:
A plot to shoot all the British Of
ficers and TO make Lord Roberts o
prisoner has been opportunely discoy-
cred. Ten Of the ringleaders were ar
rested and are now in jail. Probably
the plot was part OF a conspiracy of
which the attempted rising at Johan-
nesburg was the first indication.
The conspiracy was only discovered
at the last moment. The conspirators
numbered about 10. They lad planned
10 set fire 20 the houses in the ex-
treme western parts OF the city hoping
that the troops would be concentrated
there. The plan was that then the
conspirators were forcibly TO enter all
houses occupied by British officers,
these having been previously marked,
and to kill the occupants.
All the Boer sympathlzers were ac-
quainted with the plot, and several
had been told of to secure the person
OF Lord Roberts and to hurry with
him TO the nearest commando. Horses
had been obtained for this purpose
Then the British learned the names Of
the rlngleaders, who were put under
arrest. The affair has created a tre-
mendOus sensation.
Various complaints are published In
the morning papers from the Cam
adams invallded TO England from
South Africa regarding the lack OF ar
rangements for their comfort and the
delay In sending them home. The
Morning Leader says: "The Canadian
invaiios who sailed from Liverpool for
Montreal yesterday by the Allen liner
Partisan expressed their disappoint-
ment at the neglect of the military au-
thorities In Liverpool. They said That
having experienced the life Of the Brit
ish soldier under British officers. they
had resolved 70 stay at home and to
mind their own business In the future.
Moreover, they promised to lay the
facts before the Canadian ministers on

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HONOR
MEMORY OF GOOD KING HUMBERT

Rome, Aug. 10..-I is almost literally
true that Rome did not sleep Wednes-
day night. People from the prov inces
poured into the capital to witness the
ceremony until the sidewalks were
crowded so that circulation was prac-
tically impossible. II was a weird
sight for in addition to the funeral
decorations the electric lights and
other Illuminating apparatus, covered
with black bunting. gave everything
a peculiarly sombre hue.
At dawn the people began to seek
various points of vantage in order TO
witness the cortege, while an immense
crowd gathered in the plaza before the
railway station, where a genuine crush
occurred, Il being estimated that no
fewer than 100000 persons assembled
there. During the ceremony all busi-
ness was suspended.
The cortege was an imposing sight.
II was six kilometres long, and as the
procession solemnly moved along the
avenues, that were hung with deepest
mourning, between the station and the
Pantheon, the spectacle was one never
to be forgotten.
