quite certain that tho attempts of the
French. Italian and other consuls TO get
direct replies from Pekin have utterly

SENT SPY TO PEKTN.
This Step Was Taken in Oder To Get
News from That City.

Washington, July 29.-The fact has just
been developed that one of the last acts
of Colouel Liscum, before his death at
Tien Tsin, was to dispatch a spy to
Pel1in. General DorwaTd. the British
commanding officer at Tien Tsin. also sent
out two messengers. and 1t is believed tnat
the Japanese did the same. Up 10 date
not one of these messengers has returned
To Tien Tsin. nor has there been a single
word heard from any of them. This fact,
however, has not caused the abandon
ment of hope, and this is true in particular
OF the message expected from Mr.. Conger.
Minister WI is perhaps the basis for this
hope on our part. and ne maintains an un-
shaken confidence in his original aSser-
ton that the news when 1t does come will
show that the legatiOners are alive. The
message reported to have come through
Mr.. Wilder at Che roo is regarded as
most promising.
