Boxer General Orders determination
of Christians-Comma That Not
n Foreigner Shall Escape From In
teriOr-Chinese Staying Thousands.
London, July 30-The Shanghai corre-
spondcnt of The Daily Express, tele-
graphing Sunday, says:
"A new imperial edict promulgated
this evening urgently orders all viceroys
and provincial governors to endeavor to
negotiate peace with the powers whose
ministers are held as hostages pending
the result of the overtures for the aban-
donment of hostilities against China
THE viceroys are also commanded to
guard their territories vigilantly against
attack and to prevent by all means in
their power the advance of the foreign
troops, especially along the Yang-tse
Kiang.
"The decree says that the officials will
answer with their lives for any failure
to execute these orders.
Commands are also given that not a
single foreigner shall be allowed to es-
cape from the interior, where there are
still fully 1000 Europeans connected
with missionary work in isolated situa-
tions.
when the governor of Shangtrng
communicated to the consuls the imperial
decree of July "a, he omitted these iru-
portant passages addressed to Ii Hung
Chang:
'Tnadvisable to XIII All EnvOys."
1t Is admittedly inadvisable to kill
all the minister's but it is equally unwise
to send them to Tien-tsin. 1t will be
much wiser to keep the survivors ut Pc
king as hostages.
You are commanded to hasten to
Peking. You are mourning imperial dis
pleasure by delay You have been ap-
pointed viceroy of Chill because, with
your military experience, you will sue
cessfully lead the imperial armies against
the foreigners in Chill, which va Lu. the
present viceroy, is unable to do owing
to his ignorance of military affairs
Iii Hung Chang replied to this edict
asking to be allowed to retire on account
of his age.
"Sheng now admits that he has had
teegrams since July 10 announcing that
every foreigner in Pao-ting-fu was mur-
dered, including 40 British, French and
American missionaries, and announcing
also that two French Jesuits and 1000
converts have been massacred at Kwang-
and Chill.
"A majority of the consuls favor strong
measures against Sheng's duplicity.
Local officials assert that the Italian
priests murdered in Human were wrap
ped in cotton which had been soaked in
kerosene and We're slowly roasted to
death.
at is believed that all foreigners in
Chill have by this time been massacred,
and the wave of massacre is spreading
toward Ningpo and Hangchow, from
which point 80 English and American
missionaries are endeavoring to escape
in boats down the river to Kiang-su."
The Chinese legation in Berlin has re
ceived message from Sheng, director
general of railways and telegraphs, say.
ing that he has received n dispatch from
Peking announcing that General Tuns
Fuh Slang threatens to kill all the mc,n.
bers of the legations if the international
forces advance upon Peking.
Evidently the legation is embarrassed
by the receipt of this dispatch, as the
Chinese minister has not communicated
1t to the German government.

Official figures show that China, Eng
and and Spain each sold more mer-
chandise in the Philippines during 1899
than this country did. We only sold
goods to the value OF 81, $50, 364 to the
islands, while we probably spent more
than ten times that much during the
same period to keep our flag over them.
Even from the sordid standpoint of
dollars and cents ownership of the Philip
pines doesn't pay.

Trolley Car Accident In Toledo

Toledo, July 30.-Ten people were in
jured in street car accident late Ut
night, one fatally and two others very
seriously. A car had just reached Twen-
ty-second street when binding flash of
electricity followed by cloud of smoke

were tumbled into the street attracted
the attention of belated passersby. The
injuries are of such n character that
they are in every instance extremely
painful.

1t was on this occasion that the king
took the oath. The parliamentary cham
Der was draped in black in memory of
the late king, but the throne which was
guarded by the kings cuirassiers, was
covered with scarlet cloth. The queens
of Italy and Portugal, the prince i'm

bilities were present, and it shows the
public interest in the ceremonial when ii
is stated that there We're 2I,0O0 applica-

Pledge to Emulate His Father.
A Separate proclamation was issued
to the people, in which the king said: 81
shall follow the great example my father
has set of devotion to his country, of love
for progress and confidence in our free
institutions, which are the pride of my
house My sole ambition will be to de-
serve the love of my country. Italians

prove that institutions do not die Let

One of his first acts was to grant an
amnesty pardoning all political offenders
and runaways from conscriptions, COM
muting all sentences of death and dimin-
ishing other punishments by six months.
He soon showed love of economy and a
dislike for extravaganza. He undertook
to settle out of his own private means his
fathers liabilities. amounting to 10000
600 lire (S7,200O O0O), his plan for doing
so being the sale of Castel Porziano, Il
vast hunting estate which had been pre-
sented by the nation to the late king
Moreover, he ordered the sale of 1000
of his fathers horses and considerably
reduced the household expenditure There
was no mistaking thr spirit of such acts
rs these, and they drew the king close to
the people.
Attempt on His Life.
Another circumstance which happened
| in November of the year IN which he was
crowned served still more toward that
end. He and his queen were paying a
visit to Naples and, together with their
| son, whose title was the Prince of Ma
pies, and Signor Cairoli the prime min

through the streets, which were en- fete,

London, July 30.-A dispatch from

states that King Humbert was shot on
Sunday evening at Monza by n man
named Angelo Bressi di Prato and that
he died n few minutes later.
The king had been attending distri.

He had just entered his carriage with

tie more than seven years ago. The fes-
tiyites We're of very imposing char
acter and were hOnored by the presence
of the German emperor and empress and
by many other foreign potentates or
their representatives.
Up to the time of his accession to the
throne the prince did not busy himself
greatly with political matters and had
very little to do with the kings states
men. On the other hand, however, he
kept closely in touch with the army and
regularly managed the military opera
tions at the autumn maneuvers. The Of
ficers looked upon him as one of them
selves and very close comrade, and
the prince did much to encourage the
sentiment.
Became King when Thirty-three.
On Jan. 8, 1878, when he was 80 years
old, his father died. and the crown be-
came his. 1t was not a favorable mo-
ment for such a change, for the minis
try was anything but popular, the Re-
publican party was restless, and many
sections of the community looked upon
the new king with doubtful eye. But
King Humbert grappled the situation
with rare skill and proved to all that a
prince who had not seemed fitted foI
monarchical duties might yet make a
wise and good king
The death of the pope soon after his
accession helped him considerably, and
so did his language, demeanor and
benefcent acts. His address to his
houses of parliament was couched in ex-
cellent terms, and, though it is the Gus
tom for such pronouncements to be fram-
ed by the ministers, it was declared that
he wrote the most expressive sentences
with his own hand.

ILLINOIS.
FALLEN FLAT

The story printed in the London
Mail that Webster Davis, who is now
speaking against the Administration
for its taking sides with England
against the Beers, was paid by Paul
Kruger for these speeches, has fallen
absolutely fat Any attempt on the
part Of the British enemies of Bryan
to make capital in this campaign will
meet the same fate.
The most suggestive feature Of the
affair is that Mark Hanna and the
Republican National Committee knew
three days in advance that the story
YVES coming out and made arrange
ments to give it widespread publicity
This was one Of the features that
helped to send the canard to an easy
death.
Has any one ever seen a line in a
London paper that was not deroga-
tory of Bryan Whenever Great
Britain has taken a hand in Ameri-
Can politics it has been in favor of the
Republican party.
Republican supremacy in the United
States means a continuation of the
commercial processes by which En-
gland continues to pluck hundred
millions year out of the pockets OF
the people Of this country.
If England were asked to pay the
salaries of our President, cabinet Of
fcers and both houses of Congress,
provided it all remained Republican.
the London banks would raise the
spot cash in two hours.
Now they have all the privileges OF
such an arrangement and the taxpay-
ers of this country foot the bill.
