trimental, and hopes for something
beyond the continued publicity of
0f the statehood question by many
that are supporting the single state
hood idea. The reasons against
double statehood are so apparant
and insurmountable as to make an
advocacy of that policy seem abso-
lutely childish.
Aside from the fact that every
question has two sides, there is lit
tie excuse for anyone opposing the
general ground of negation. 1t Is
the fixed destiny of the two terri
tories, regardless of the political
party in power; it is the only poll,
cy which we, on this side of the
line, may hope for early recognition.
For this reason, if for no other, we
hope for 1T and support it. We are
not daunted by the miserable mis-
representations as to Oklahoma
taxes and political organizations.
All such stuff is the purest rot. AS
we have SAID before, if Oklahoma is
willing to take us we should be
right glad TO be took. ''-Sapulpa

AN AMBIGUOUS STATEMENT
Of Chinese Imperial Council as to Con-
dition of Foreign Legations.

Washington, August 1.-The Chinese
minister called at the state department
early to-day and presented to Secre-
tary Hay the following dispatch from
Ii Hung Chang received last mid
night from the Chinese minister at
London:
Just received telegram from Pao
Ting Foo, OF the 9Th moon, 23rd day
July 19th) that the privy council had
that day received an imperial edict as
follows:
I'VE have received the memorial of

US to save and protect the ministers
of the various nations. Now the min
listers are all safe and we'll, and Ii
Hung Chang is directed to wire to

inform the respective secretaries for
foreign affairs accordingly. Respect

This telegram has been delayed in
its transmission. The other day I and
other viceroyS sent a joint memorial
requesting that the different ministers
be escorted out of Pekin, or that they

cate by letter or wire with their re-

ANOTHER APPEAL FOR AID.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL
The Property of the Maritime Canal
Company Seized by the Nicaraguan
Government.

mas done all that it properly could do
to conserve the rights of the conces-
sionaires. Under the terms of the con-
cession the Nicaragua Company was
allowed period of ten years after the
completion of the preliminary surveys
to complete the construction of the
canal. That period expired nearly two
years ago. The company which had
done great deal of work. was ex-
pecting to effect an arrangsment for
the transfer of it's properties and privi-
legeS to the government of the United
States through some of the various
Nicaragua canal bills that have been
introduced in congress and more or less
advanced to enactment within recent
years.
The Nlcaraguan government, how
ever, foreseeing the failure of the COM
pany to comply with the letter of it's
contract, entered into another ar
rangement with what was known as
the Craigin-Eyre syndicate to take up
the original concession. The Mari
time C1nal Company was notified that
the Nicaraguan government had va
Gated it's concession, and intended to
seize upon it's properties according to
the terms of Article "a of the conces-
sion.
The canal company protested against
the proposed seizure and appealed 20
the government of the United States.
Article As of the concession provides
that should events of main force
arise, duly justified, and sufficient to
impede the regular progress Of their
work during the period Of ten years, an
extension shall be granted" ETC., etc.
The company claimed that exactly
this contingency has arisen, and asked
for the extension referred to.
The last article of the convention
provides that in the event Of a misun-
derstanding between the government
of Nicaragua and the company the dis
pute should be submitted to four arbi-
traitors, two to be selected by each
party. The company upon the refusal
of it's claims by the Nicaraguan gov
eminent, demanded this arbitration.
The Nicaraguan government admitted
the justice of the demand, but re-
quired that all four of the arbitrators
should be native Nicaraguans. The
company refused to commit it's inter-
estS to the care of such agents and
United States Minister Merry, at the
instance of the state department, in
tervened in it's favor. 1t appears now
however, that the arbitration having
failed, as the Nicaraguan government
claims, by the expiration of the period
allowed for it's work, the government
has proceeded to make the seizure OF
the canal company's property, con-
templated in Article "a.
The state department has not yet
been notified of this action. and when
it is it will probably proceed to take
some step to ascertain the motives
that Influenced the Nicaraguan gov
ernment-whether it is simply clearing
the way for direct negotiations with
the United States for the construction
OF canal, or whether it is working in
the interest of some other would be

CHINESE D0UBLE-DEAlING
Authorities Urging On the Boxers
While Asking Foreign Governments
to Assist In Putting Them Down

London, August 1.-Dr. George En-
nest Morrison, the Pekin correspondent
of The Times, has been heard from
direct. The Times this morning prints
the following dispatch from him dated
July 21st:
There has been a cessation of hos
tilities here (Pekin) since July 18th,
but for fear of treachery there has
been no relaxation of vigilance. The
Chinese soldiers conunue to strengthen
the barricades around the besiegeG
area. and also the batteries on top Of
the imperial city wall, but, in the mean
time, they have discontinued firing.
The main bodies of the imperial SOL
diers have left Pekin in order to meet
the relief force. Supplies are beginning
to come in and the condition Of the
beSieged is improving.
THE Tsung Ii Yamen forwarded to
Sir Claude Macdonald a copy of the
dispatch telegraphed by the emperor
TO Queen Victoria, attributing all deeds
Of violence to bandits and requesting
her majeSty's assistance to extricate
the Chinese government from its diff
ficulties. The queens reply is not
stated; but the Chinese minister at
Washington telegraphs that the United
States government would gladly assist
the Chinese authorities.

A STRING OF DENIALS
Ex-Secretary Powers Makes FIAT De-
malls of All the Damaging Testimony
Against Him.

Georgetown, Ky, July G.-Former
Secretary of State Caleb Powers re-
sumed the witness stand in his own
behalf to-day in his trial for alleged
completely in the killing of Governor
Goebel. He said that on the morning OF
the assassination he was preparing TO
go to Louisville to make arrangements
for bringing more people to Frank
fort. He locked his office door as de-
scribed by the witness, Golden, but de-
MED that anything suspicious was
said. At LaGrange the party heard
that Goebel had been assaSsinated
and that the shot had been fired from
the second or third story of the execu-
tive building.
II said it was a shame and an out
rage" continued the witness, that it
would blight the chance of all OF US
who were in the contest. l expressed
similar sentiment to other persons
that day 1 thought it my duty to re-
turn to Frankfort as soon as possible
and 1 did that afternoon. 1 went to
the executive building and with my
kew, the only one / ever had to the
office, unlocked the door. I found
that the lock had been battered and
had difficulty in getting the key out
of it, I did not take the lock of and
supplant it with a new one, as has
been stated by the prosecution
The day after the assassination, the
witness said, he began an invest1ga-
ton to learn from whence the shot
was fired. He denied making state
ment to Golden that he was satisfied
the shots came from his office.
The witness denied that he ever had
any one of a half dozen or more con-
versations with Wharton Golden about
which the latter told on the stand last
week, and denied that he had ever
talked with him or any other person
about the killing of Goebel or any
other member Of the legislature.
In regard to the testimony Of Robert
Noakes, the witness said he never had
a conversation with Noakes in regard
to the smokeless powder cartridges
and never saw Noakes at Frankfort on
January 25th. when Noakes alleged
that the witness made so many dam
aging statements to him.
