THE RELIEF OPPOSED
A Story of the Slaughter of Fifty Missionaries and 10000 Native Christians Near Pekin Smooth Mir. Wu Is Embarrassed for the First Time by the Disclosures by pr. Morrison.

London, Aug. S.-(3:45 a. m)-No word comes this morning regarding the fortunes of the comparatively small body of troops believed to be forging thsir way toward Pekin. The silence is probably due to diligent censorship, rather than to any lack of develop ments. A special from Shanghai an- nOunces the receipt of ar official tel egram from the Tsung Ii Yamen as serting that the ministers Were all well on July 30 and that vegetables, fruits and other supplies had been sent to the legations on several occasions.
 Friendly intercourse" the official telegram says, lis now being carried Cn between the ministers and the inn perial government"
 According to the Daily Express, how ever, cablegrams from Che Foo an nounce that imperial troops advancing to oppose the relief forces have com pletely wiped out the Christian town near Pel1in, killing fifty foreign priests and 10 900 native Christians.
 General Gaselee, says this cores pendent. was strongly opposed to an immediate advance, but he was over Tuleu Dy the OIner COnlfl3nOeTS ana ll- 1luenced by Washington's order to Gen eral Chaffee to proceed without an instant's delay"
 From Shanghai. the Daily Express has received confirmation of the re- ported murder of fifty missionaries in the province of Shan Si, with addi- tional information that eight English women were dragged out of the mis- sion buildings by a Chinese mob, who heheadcd them in the streets of Gnu Chou Erenah-tEoaps-ar c-Eepcrted-ta- have occupied Meng Tsze. in the prov ince of Yum Nan.
 The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard says: "A nding let ter has been received from the Jap anesc legation dated July 22 stating that the casualties number sixty per cent; that only twenty-five cartridges per man are left. with sufficient food for five days and that it is feared the legation will succumb within a week"
 MT. Broderick's statement in the house of commons yesterday. placing Great Britain on record as unalter- ably opposed to the partition of China, Is well received by all the morning papers, which, for lack of other news, chiefly devote their comments to Dr. Morrison's remarkable message to the Times, cabled yesterday to the United States.

case to take, without a water supply of course we are in a precarious condition either for tilling our land or for our selling out If it is a generally accepted fact that there is insufficient water We cannot sell advantageously or raise crops either. If we issue the bonds and get reservoir under construction we can certainly sell out as well or better than we can now if we choose to. On the other hand, if the indications are good that the enterprise will be a success. we will not want to sell out. As I said before, I have not fully determined just what I ought to do in the matter, but I don't see how we can lose anything by voting the bonds.''
 w. B. Casey: "I have got land, but have no water. 1 don't see any use in standing around berating the canal for I know they have no water to give me. There is nothing to be gained that way. We have got to have storage in some way, and all that ever questioned in the matter was whether or not the reservoir would fill up with silt and debris. If it can be clearly shown that this would not oc- cur I should think the bonds would be a good thing. The expense is not worth considering if the desired results can be obtained"

ROYAL MURDER ATTEMPTED
The Intended Victim the Shah of
 Persia.

Paris, Aug. 2.-An attempt on the life of the shah of Persia was made this morning, but luckily it resulted in no harm to his majesty. A man broke through the line of policemen as the shah was leaving his apartment and tried to mount the royal carriage step. He was siezed and placed under ar rest. He held a revolver in his hand. but as soon as his intention was di- vined the police disarmed him before he was able to fire.
 At the police station the man ex- pressed regret that he had been un- able to carry out his intentions. He said: This is an affair between me and my conscience
 After the. would-be assassin was taken to the police station the shah carried out his programme for trip down the Seine to Versailles. The would-be assassin declines absolutely to give his name or nationality. He speaks but little and that with a south ern accent. The police believe him to be an Italian. The shah received a letter posted in Paris, but dated from Italy. saying he would be assassinated today.

NORTHWEST CHAUTAUQUA.
The Beginning of the Fourth Annual
 Session.

Marinette, Wis, Aug. 2.-The opening of the fourth annual session of the Northern Chautauqua assembly was held today, R. c. Herryman, president. delivering the opening address. The cottages and tents are full and the outlook for a successful meeting is brighter than ever before. The as- sembly will continue until August 13. The organization has secured for the more important lectures Dr. Andrew l. Palmer of New York, the Hon. l.. J. Beachalnp of Ohio, Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hitler of the Chicago Training school. Elizabeth A. Hubbard of New York, and the Rev. Father A. R. O'Duane. The programme differs somewhat from the usual Chautauqua idea and con tains a number of Interesting features in addition to the regular lectures. Among these will be a dramatic per formance, an opera and parliament tary day. The latter will include dis cussions by Governor Shaw of Iowa, representingI the republican party: Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, who will speak for the democrats, and E. w. Chain of Waukesha, who will speak for the prohibitionists.

by one of. the leading officials here, there will be no bargaining on our part in advance of a concession by the Chinese antiquities of full and free communication with foreign min isters."
 There is, moreover, a note ominously close to actual war in Secretary Hays declaration that the conduct of the Chinese government is 'unfriendly." That kind of language is extreme in the diplomatic world and it is only a mar row step between it and formal war.
 The impression prevails here that the Chinese government, if it is not ab solutely bereft of power to act in de- fiance of the Boxers, will accept our terms and some such action is looked for very soon. Possibly a battle, not more, it is believed than one, at least, will be required to bring the imperial government to the point of acceptance, though in that case it is questionable whether the original conditions would be regarded as still open to acceptance.
 If the Chinese government now ac- cepts, however, the United States gov ernment will be face to face with one of the most d=licate and momentous LdShS eNSE IL must attempt to redeem its promise 10 use its good offices in favor of China and in the present temper of some of the European powers the greatest difficult ties may be expected to arise in the prosecution of the attempt. It is the confident expectation of officials here, however, that if the Chinese govern ment actually and in good fGith meets all four of the conditions laid down by the president in his reply to the Chi nese emperor's appeal for aid, that at lsast a majority of the powers now represented in China will accept that as the proper base upon which to cease present hostiFIties and open negotia- tions for settlement.
 The decision of a majority in such case without doubt would receive ac quiesceLce of a minority. else an in- terminable entapglement might arise. Secretary Root said this afternoon that there has been no developments which would necessitate any changes in the instructions to General Chaffee or which would change the intentions of the goVernm5 mt.

SHIRLEY IS GUESSING
He Don't Know Whether to Be Flat
 tered or Offended.

Frank Shirley received a telegram yesterday. He does not do much tele- graph business and when the messen- ger boy came in he naturally grew ner- vous. He was afraid Some rich relative had died and left him a fortune. He was more firmly conveinced that this was true when the boy asked him for 75 cents, for surely a message of any sentimental nature would be prepaid. On opening the envelope. womanlike, he began at the signature and read up. It ran as follows:
 ''El Paso, Aug. 2.
 Do you want a first-class barber? Answer at once. MARK HANNA"
 He hasn't answered yet. In fact. the more he studies about it the less he knows what to do. He has never heard of but one Mark Hanna, and he isn't a barber He cannot conceive how there could be another one and as for the man with the $mark coat he would feel flattered to know that the message was from him but he can't understand why that great and rich man should send telegram collect. He believes that if the message is from the great political manager, Hanna must have a barber's trust and is placing all the democratic artists in the territories till after election. But in that case the message would have been paid for out of the campaign fund. He is more in clined to the belief that some one is working him (possibly Minister Wu), but the message seems to be genuine.
 He will hold off in the hope that if it is, from the real Mark there will be con- firmatory dispatches today.

WAR SPIRIT REVIVED
A Prediction That After the Close of the Exposition an Effort Will Be Made to Revive a Quarrel With "Perfdious Albion Country Is III Prepared Against a Naval Attack.

London, Aug. 2.-The Paris Daily Mails correspondent says: "The min istry is reproached with the usual ref erence to Fashoda. This reproach has been conspicuous of late.
 Events in China have revived the warlike spirit of the nation, and it has also led to anxiety in some quarter lest the dispatch of the cruisers from Cherbourg. Brest and Toulon may leave France i'll prepared to resist an att tack from 'perfidious Albion.
 "The nationalists of France are at present in a very quarrelsome mood. and an Englishman who knows the country well told me today thas he does not doubt they will try to pick a quarrel with Great Britain in order to avenge Fashoda.'

MIR. WU TROUBLED.
He Ascribes Dr. Morrison's Story to

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Chinese minister had just read the dispatch of Dr. Morrison from Pekin to the Lon don Times when seen by a representa- tive of the Associated Press this morn ing. Minister Wu, who all along has maintained an optimistic tone as to the trend of events in China. seemed more distressed by yesterdays devel- opmenls than at any time since the Chinese trouble began.
 . He said: "Of course I do not know this correspondent and I cannot tell what his sources of information are. They are certainly not official ut terances. lie evidently has been under siege in the British legation for q month and is naturally irritated so that his utterances probably are biased and he Is inclined to believe the worst of the imperial authorities

AN EXPANDING MARKET.

The fact that the eXportations of 1900 exceeded by $317. 749 25O those of any preceding year, and that this increase while apparent in every class, is es- pecially marked in manufactures alone the increase in which amounts to S92.- 60S.S0S over 1899. suggests that new markets are being found for American products. A detailed study of our ex- port trade for 1900 shows that this growth is found in every part of the world, and especially in those countries to which all the great manufacturing and producing nations are now looking for an increased market.
 While Europe is naturally our largest market for breadstuffs, the percentage of growth in our sales to other parts of the world is much more rapid. To Europe our exports for the year 1900 crossed for the first time the billion dollar line, yet our exports to that con- tinent show an increase of but 10 per cent in 1900 over 1899, and but 50 per cent over 1S90 while to North America our exports in 1900 show an increase of IS per cent over 1899 and 95 per cent over 1890; to South America the in crease is very slight, owing. in part. at least. to the lack of direct steamship communication for our export trade; to Oceania the increase in 1900 over 1899 is AS per cent and over 1890 is 162 per cent; to Asia the increase in 1900 over 1899 is 43 per cent, and over the year 1890 is 237 per cent: to Africa the in crease in 1900 over 1899 is comparatively small, owing to the interruption of commerce with that continent by the existing war, but compared with 1890 the increase is 324 per cent. To Europe and British North America our exports in 1900 show an increase of 101a per cent over 1899 and 57 per cent over 1880, while to all other parts of the world our exports in 1900 show an increase of 31.7 per cent over 1899 and 91.7 per cent over 1890.
 THE GOLD PRODUCTION.
 The phenomenal commercial record of the year has been accompanied by an equally striking record with refer ence to gold production. The gold mined in the United States during the year ending December S1, 1899, exceeds that of any year in our history, and for the first time surpasses the record estab-

Washington, Aug. 2.-The state de- partment has made public the cor respondence between Ii Hung Chang and the department regarding the abandonment of the campaign on Pekin. Tn reply 10 T suggestion of Lii Hung Chang that the ministers might be sent under a safe escort to Tien Tsin provided the powers wouII engage not to march on Pekin,' the secretary of state replied, this gov ernment will not enter into any ar engagement regarding the disposition or the treatment of the legations withou, first having free communication with Minister Conger. The responsibility Tor their protection rests upon the Chinese government. The power to de- liver at Tfen Tsin presupposes the power to protect and to open communi- cation. This is insisted upon"

GROWTH IN EXPORTS.

While Manufacturers materials show the largest growth in our imports. man. ufactured articles show the largest growth in our exports. The total ex- ports of manufactures in 1900 amounted to $432, 2S4. .366. against S339, ,675, ,55S in the preceding year. an increase of $92. sos. SOS while in no earlier year had the in crease amounted to so much as $50,0O0,- 900. Manufactures formed 3112 per cent of the total expOrtations in 1900, against 2S.1S per cent in 1899, 26.S7 per cent in 1897, 2314 per cent in 1895, O.25 per cent in 1885, 15 per cent in 1S70 and 12.76 per cent in 1860. Exports of manufactures in 1860 were $40, ,345, S92, and in 1900 $432.- 2S4, ,366; while the total exports in 1850 were $S35, ,576,057 and in 1900 $1, 394 ,1S6- 371. Thus. while the total exports of 1900 are four times as great as in 1860, those of manufactures alone are ten times as much as in 1860. In that year manufactures formed but 12.76 of our total exports, while in 1900 they form 1.54 of our total exports. Even in the decade which ends with the year 1900 the growth in exports of manufactures has been equally striking. In 1891 the total exports amounted to $SS4, ,4S0, 810, and those of manufactures alone to $16S,927 .315. the total exports for 1900 thus being but 50. per cent in excess If 1891, while the exports of manufac- lures are 15O per cent in excess of that year.
 This rapid growth in the eXportation of manufactures is particularly grati flying when compared with that of other nations which have heretofore chiefly supplied the worlds markets in manufactured goods. In 1860, as all ready indicated, our total exports of manufactures ut $40, ,345, S92; in that year those q knited Kingdom were s618,85S, ,26l Sur own ex-
