apples will be worth twice as much as
the wheat crop. which also bids fair
to be quite large. The strawberry
crop will hardly be so large as in
former years, but still it is far from
a failure. Frnit men say the State
over, it will average about 90 per
cent. OF a full crop.

A Statement in the House of Commons
 Concerning the Pekin Mystery.

A Statement in the House of Commons
 Concerning the Pekin Mystery.
 London, July 23.-In the house of commons, to-day, the parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, William St. John Brodrick, communicated cer- tain statements of the Chinese authori- ties with regard to the safety of the legations at Pekin, and said that the Chinese minister declared them to be unharmed MT. Brodrick read the text of the imperial edct of July IS, com menting on Minister Conger's dispatch to the department of state of the Unit ed States MT Brodrick said that though the dispatch was of the same date as the edict's assurance of safety, the latter was not borne out by MT. Conger. Consul Warren had telegraph ed to the governor of Shan-Tung to know how message from Pekin reach ed him in two days, and why there was no message from the British minister Sir Claude Macdonald. The governor had replied that the United States min ister's message was sent by the Tsung- li-Yamen, by a messenger travelling goo leagues roughly 200 miles) a day.
 1T assure you," the governor of Shan Tung had added, there is no tele- graphic communication, I cannot ex- plain why Macdonald has not tele- graphed, but I have begun to be anxious about the ministers, for they and the others are all living and un- harmed. Of this I've already had sev- eral reliable messages
 Seeing that over a month has elapsed" said MT Brodrick, since any communication reached the govern ment from the British legation, and that the Tsung li-Yamen is communi- eating by messenger with various Chi nese authorities, her majesty's govern ment feel they cannot give credence to any statement or decrees attributed to the emperor or Chinese government un- less they are fortified by letters signed or dated by Sir Claude Macdonald or other British official or by some tele- gram in our cipher"
 According to the translation read by Mir Brodrick, the imperial edict opens as follows:
 "In the Confucian philosophy, in the spring and autumn it is written, en- voys should not be killed. How, then, can it be supposed the thrones policy is to connive at allowing troops and people to vent their wrath on foreign minsters?'
 The edict then gives the assurance all ready made known to the public
 It is probable that in the message tJ,n ,f sul Warren the word 'leagues'' should be Lis. Ali is a Chinese mile, equal to about one-third of an English mile.

MAILING FO ED.

There was quite a lively affair on Hall avenue yesterday afternoon be- tween eX-Warden Isaac w. Bull and Contractor A. J. Goodwin, who is lay ing the concrete walks on that street
 under the orders of the present warden and the sidewalk committee. The walks were to have been laid last year, but were not Recently the proper grade has been made and Contractor Good rich went to work putting down new sidewalks. Last week Orange Perkins, son-in of Bull, and to whom all of Bulls property was transferred some months ago, came ul "1 Hall avenue and ordered Goodrich top work on the walk. He was r5f d to the war den of the borough Ta re were some high words, but the work continued. Yesterday afternoon Bull appeared on the scene and began using very strong language, together with threats, and, quite naturally, Goodrich replied to the words with some plain English Bull seized a shovel and started to use it on Goodrich's head but the latter was too quick and met the assault with rake he was using at the time. He hit Bull on the head and sent him to the ground with a cut scalp. This stopped the af- fray for a short time, but Bull seized another shovel and started again for Goodrich, who had procured another rake and was at work again on the walk. Goodrich made no attempt to strike again, but kept the infuriated ex- warden at bay by putting the rake against his body and showing him away These tactics were kept up until Bull was backed toward the upper side of high sand-bank, when an extra shove of the rake sent the ex-borough official down the bank in 0 heap. He did not seem inclined to renew the combat again, Those who saw the entire trou- ble assert that Mr. Goodrich acted only on the defensive and did all he could to avoid any encounter

MORE REPORTS ABOUT PEKIN.
Consul General Goodnow Not Convinc-
 ed by the Conger Message.

l Consul General Goodnow Not Convinc- | ed by the Conger Message. | Washington. July 23.-The state de-
 partment has received a number of dis
 patches from foreign governments rel
 ative to the Conger dispatch, and also
 from our officials in China, including Consul General Goodnow. Without ex-
 ception they discredit the accuracy of the dispatch even MT. Goodnow inform- in gthe department that he does not be- leve it authentic, and advance various | theories to show it's lack of genuine ness. The entire burden of the answers | indicates a disposition not to move the relief expedition on the evidence furn- ished by the Conger dispatch.
 The state department gave out the following statement just after noon:
 "The state department has received a
 dispatch from MT. Goodnow, the consul
 general at Shanghai, dated to-day, say ing that Prince Tuan wire that an off, cer of the Tsung Ii Yamen saw all the ministers on the 18th: that none was
 injured, and that no attack was at that
 time being made. He does not say to
 whom the dispatch of Prince Tuan was
 addressed; and 1t is to a certain extent
 at variance with the dispatch of MT
 Conger of that date describing the le-
 gation as being under fire at that
 time.'
 The officials of the state department, after considering Consul General Good now's dispatch, express the belief that q mistake has been made In the trans- mission of the message, and that the name of Tuan should have been Yuan, governor of the province of Shan Tung.
 Notwithstanding these message Sec retary Hay personally continues to credit the Conger dispatch, although he says there is possibility of deception
 Concerning the proposition of media tion made to the United States by Chi na, the state department was not pre- pared to-day to make any statement It was surmised that MT. Hay was en- gagged in considering the governments l answer, which probably will be deliv- cred to Minister Wu later, but no state ment as to the course of procedure could | be obtained in any official quarter As | will be required between | and the president, it is hardly likely that the answer will be ! forthcoming at once.
 Both the state department and Chi nese officials took occasion early in the | day to deny report that plans were 1n foot toward the delivery of Minister Conger by the Chinese authorities to Admiral Remey at Tien Tsin. There is reason to believe, however, that the government is again using every effort 10 secure communication with Minister Songer, and this time to get an answer which will be so conclusive as to re- move any shadow of doubt In this 1t was reported to-day that Minister Wu yesterday sent another 'ipher cable dispatch to Minister Con ger, but there is a strong disinclination n official quarters to discuss the various teps being taken. while they are still Il an inconclusive form.

 all the Tartar generals, governors gen.

 Last month we heard with profound astoniehment and regret, of the killing of the chancellor of the Japanese lega- tion, MT. Akira, and the same fate be- fell the German minister shortly after wards The violent removal of the German minister, whose residence at the capital was necessary to the trans action of business between the two countries, affected us very deeply. It is the duty of the authorities concerned to cause stringent orders for the speedy arrest and punishment of the murder CTS to be carried out.

SAVIN ROCK THEATER.
High Class Vaudeville Attractions This
 Week.

 Week.
 Manager Blake of the Savin Rock the ater was most successful in securing such a high class vaudeville show as is being presented this week. Its excel lence was attested by the large audi ence of last night. Each and every act is a star attraction in itself, it being hard to select the most appreciative number. Merritt and Rozella open the show with a mirthful melange of acro- battle eccentricities. Their dancing is a feature. The Dawson trio of dancers are wonderful. In one part of their act fourteen different dances are exhibited in rapid succession, the music chang ing from one to the other The little girl of the trio made decided hit with her dancing. They conclude with an up-to-date cake walk. Dan Mason, the Dutch comedian, entertains in his usu- al pleasing way with funny stories and songs. Deveaux and Deveaux enter tain with several different musical in- struments. Their act is novel and cer- tainly up-to-date, MT. Deveaux's make up is very Imaginable, and in represent ing a trombone soloist in a fit playing a solo the house is taken by storm. Their were loudly applauded. Mon- ti, the marvellous gymnast, athlete and equilbrist takes one's breath away in executing his athletic feats. His act alone is worth the price of admission, Hines and Remington, the premier character delineators, present a novel act entitled "The Road Queen" Their character impersonations are certainly fine. The Crane brothers, rural come- dians of the first water, present their famous speciality "The Mud Town Rubes." Their makeup Is original and ludicrous. The audience was kept in continual roar of laughter the whole time they were out. Their act con- cludes the best show of the season, and every one should take the opportunity to see this weeks bill.

 A statement of importance in the above edict is that passage which di- rects an investigation of all claims, except those arising directly from the said attack Con Tienten) with view to their ultimate settlement" This is thought to make plain, not only that tie Chinese government will settle claims for actual losses, but that it has now formally decreed an exception or those claims arising directly from the attack on Tientsin. It seems to indi- cate that the Chinese government holds that the attack on Tientsin was unWar- ranted
