NO TIME FOR PEACE
The Ministers Must First Be
Liberated.
REPLY TO THE CHINESE EDICT
Americas Firm Position In This Mattoy
Is Unchanged--A Message
From Conger.

Washington, August 15.-The reply
OF the United States government to
China's overtures for peace was made
public early in the day. showing the
firm and final position that had been
taken. While expressing satisfaction
at this peace step, the reply states that
it is evident "that there can be no gen.
eral negotiations between China and
the powers" so long az the minister's
and legationers are restrained and in
danger, and then follows specific
statement of what the United States
expects as a condition precedent to a
cessation of hostilites. viz: That a
body Of the relief force be permitted to
'enter Pekin unmoested" and escort
the ministers back to 1ien Tsin. The
text OF the American reply is as fol-
lows
Memorandum: Touching the inn
perial edict Of August 8, appointing Lii
Hung Chang envoy plenipotentiary 60
conduct negotiations ON the part of
China with the powers. and the request
for cessation Of hostilities pending
negotiations, communicated to Mr..
Adee by Mr.. WI ON the 18th of Au-
gust, 1900.
"The government OF the United
States learned with satisfaction OF the
appointment Of Earl Ii Hung Chang as
envoy plenipotentiary to conduct nego-
tiations with the powers. and will, on
its part, enter upon such negotiations
with desire to continue the friendly
relations SO long existing between the
two countries. 1t is evident that there
can be no general negotiations between
China and the powers so long as the
ministers of the powers and the persons
under their protection remain in their
present position of restraint and danger,
and that the powers cannot cease their
efforts for their delivery OF those repre-
sentatives to which they are constrain-
cd by the highest consideration of
national honor, except under an ar
rangement adequate to accomplish
peaceable deliverance. We are ready
to enter into an arrangement between
the powers and the Chinese government
for cessation of hostile demonstra-
tions on condition that sufficient
body Of the forces composing the relief
expedition shall be permitted to enter
Pekin unmolested and to escort the for
eign ministers and residents back to
Tien Tsin, this movement being pro-
vided and secured by such arms and
dispositions OF troops as shall be con-
sidered safe by the generals command
ing the forces composing the relief ex-
pedition. ALVAL A. ADEE,
"Acting Secretary.
Department Of State, Washington,

DEATH RATE in HONOLULU.


Alarmingly High. Especially Among
Natives and Japanese.
Honolulu, august 6.--The health re.
ports for the months OF June and July
show an alarming increase in the death
rate, especially among native Hawaii
ans and Japanese Of the Island Of Ohau,
which has the only complete records.
In June the number OF deaths pei
thousand was 45; in July 49.68. The
increase for the past few years, as
shown by tables just compiled, has
aroused great deal of discussion. In
1896 the July deaths numbered 48.
Since then the figures have jumped tc
SO. 75, 93 and this year ia.
Consumption heads the list Of dis.
eases, causing deaths in almost every
month, and there is agitation fol strict
measures to quarantine patients. The
board of health is discussing a quaran
tine against consumption, as many peo.
pie come here from other places to en-
joy the mild climate, and it is believe
that they are source OF danger to the
population.
Typhoid fever has also claimed o
good many victims lately, a slight epi
demic having developed in one district
OF Honolulu.
The United States courts in Hawaii
were formally inaugurated today BY
Judge M. M. Estee.

Deaths and ProstratIons.
Chicago, August 13.-Hot weather
records for this city were broken again
today. For 25 years, or since the
weather bureau was established, there
has been but one term OF hot weather
in which the mercury reached 90 for
five consecutive days. The average
maximum temperature for these five
days was 90. There have been now
six days on which the temperature has
gone above 90, and the average max
imum for the six days has been 93.5.
Today was the hottest of the present
season, the mercury reaching 95 in the
Auditorium tower at 5 o'clock. On
the street it was two degrees warmer
than in the tower.
The prolonged heat is having seri.
Gus effect on business. All those who
can leave the city for points along the
lake shore and the woods are going,
and many have materially curtailed
their hours of labor. Gangs of labor.
ers all over the city laid off during the
afternoon. There were four deaths due
to the heat, and 20 prostrations, three
OF which are expected to prove fatal.
The four deaths today make total of
IL due directly to the heat. 1t is esti-
mated that over 100 deaths of people
already i'll have been hastened by the
weather of this week.
For the week the mortality list has
been mounting with great rapidity, the
increase being attributed entirely to
the heat. There were Ago deaths last
week., and with the present ratio OF
increase there will be 800 this week.
The ratio OF deaths, according to the
coroner, will increase steadily as long
as the hot weather continues.

Planning Farm Work.

The farmer should decide upon the
fields he intends to cultivate nextsea-
son long before the time comes for
putting the seed in the ground, and
should try to decide what crops he
will put upon them. In making his
decision, he should consider not only
the adaptation of the soil to the crop,
but how the work upon the various
crops can be so planned that she viii
not have too many irons in the fire.
We know something about it, Tor We
have been there and have had toploW,
up fair-looking cropwhiie growing
because it was so weedy as not to be
worth hoeing, as chad been, busy
on another field. BIT the best plans
may be changed sometimes when one
has to do with ANYTHING so fckle AS
the New England Weather. Evehin-
sects may force i change, as wss we're
once foi I'd TO change an onion bed
into squash field. because the onion
maggot had appeared in such nnlls
bers that we saw the crop would be&a
failure. We admire perseverance,,
but there. is such thing as being foo
obstinate, and striving against the in
svitable. Give up when fairly beaten,I
and try to retrieve fortune IN some
other way. y.-American Cultiyator.

ErsQuent Milking.

1t has been we'll established by
numerous experiments by scientists,
that the longer time. that elapses be-
tween milkings, the less solids will
the COW secrete in her milk, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Those who have
made tests of COWS for purposes OF
compe etition have also noticed that q
COW will give considerable increase IN
solids, as we'll rs in quantity of milk
flow, if she is MIXED three timesEa
day instead Of twice. ~
The physiological laws. which aIl-
fluence and govern the flow OF milk,
should meet with much more stndy
by COW owners than is done We are
too apt to go along i'll a careless and
Indifferent manner, forgetting that
our success with the cow can be
greatly increased or diminished there
by. Every man who milks COW is
dealing with one of the most complsy
and delicate machines in existence.
He ought to be o sincere, earnest stu
dent of the wonderful varying forces
which may affect that machine to his
profit or loss. A
