The Programme at Detroit interrupted
Yesterday.

{ Detroit, Mich, July pa heavy down
pour of rain spoiled the programme of
races at Crosse Pointe race track this af-

the track precluded any further racing.
Two heats were pulled off in the 2.27

2.09 PAGERS. In the former Lasso,> a Viii
lage Farm gelding, was the favorite,
with Queen Eleanor second place. The

A QUIET SETTLEMENT.
Attempt to Remove Chairman johnson
VIII Not Be Pushed.

Augusta, July 2O.-Indications at the
meeting OF the Governor and Council to-
day pointed strongly to a quiet settlement
of the attempt to remove Lewis f. John
son from his place as chairman of the
Saco board of registration. A letter to
one Of the state officials asked that the
hearing on the charges preferred be Tut
over until the next meeting. 1t is un-
derstoOd that the case will then be
dropped, This Is borne out by the fact
that at a recent caucus in SacO, johnson
placed the name of George e. Morrison,
one of the principal signers of the petition
for removal and the chairman of the
.Saco Republican city COMMITTEES, in
nomination for state senator.

this evening made the positive statement
that no more troops had been ordered
for Chinese services. He added
''The chief effort of our government
just now must be directed to aiding
the friendly Chinese officials. Tt is evil
dent from the despatch that the imperial

faith and on the 18th was still using it's
best efforts to protect the legations. We

LONDON INCREDULOUS.
London, July 2O.-Minister Conger's
message to the state department at
Washington is not regarded here as iusti-
flying over much optimism, but on the
contrary is generally accepted as a fur
ther Chinese attempt at mystifcation.
Some think the fact that the message
is undated, and the similarity of it's con
tents to Sir Robert Hart S message Of
June "a suggest that it was sent off about
the same time, but intercepted by the
Chinese
The skeptical are confirmed in their
suspicious by the fact that a message
was received by M. Delcasse, the French
minister or foreign affair, today, through
the Chinese minister at Paris, purporting
to come from the Emperor, asking
France S mediation with the powers, and
which, it is alleged, was dated July 10,
and makes no mention of the foreign le.
cations at Pekjn.
JAPAN WILL CONSENT,
Washington, July 2O.-As was antici-
pated the Japanese government has given
its cheerful consent to the application of

sion to land armed troops and military
supplies at Nagasaki, in transit to Taku,
China. This privileg5 was desired IN or
der that the Pacific transports plying be-
tween San Francisco and Manila should
not be diverted from their regular route,
but that the troops and stock carried by
them and intended for service in China,
might be transferredl at kNagasaki to
other vessels Of the transport service and
taken dirUTr to Haiku. The quarter
masters department of the army has DO
vided three large transports of the
Philippine service for use on the lire be-
tween Nagasaki ana Taku and it is ex.
pected in this way to expedite the move
ment of troops to China.

Los Angeles, Cal, July $780, e.
u. COnger OF Pasadena, a brother of
Minister COnger, was shown by an AssO-
ciated Press reporter today a copy of the
despatch received by the state depart
ment.
1t is directly in line with what have
thought and have felt all along, he said
Il have never given up hope that the
legatiOners and foreigners in Pekin were
alive, but l felt and of course feel more
than ever now that they are in dire dis
tress that help must come to them soon
or they will perish 1niserably. The
United States is proceeding along the
safest and best lines, no doubt, and can
only trust, for the sake of my beloved
brother and the others who are there that
there will not be moments delay, as
long as there is hope of reaching Pek in
before a massacre takes place.
Rev Mr.. Conger also received tele-
gram from the state department this

sage from his brother.
