Their danger, always great. will become
acute from the moment the relief column

murderous mob in that city and get the

lief column. News from Peking is again
awaited with the same fearful anxiety that
marked the days of July.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Dr. Montague r..

Hamilton this evening by a representative
OF the Associated Press. He said that
he was a regular correspondent with Fill

ten the letter to Senior G.. ADacible, part
of which was Published to-day.

MAY SURRENDER MINISTER'S.
Chinese Envoy May Meet the Allied
Army at Tnng-Chow.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The statement
was made tonight on reliable authority
that the Peking government would desig-
nate some high official to meet the COM
manders of the allied armies at Tung-
Chow and agree with them on some meas
ures for the safe conduct of the members
of the foreign legations in the capital. In
formation to this effect was received here
to-day.
II is not at all unlikely that the meeting
already has taken place if General Chaffee
has pushed on to Tung-Chow. The sug-
gestion was made tonight that this pro-
posal Of the Peking government may be
m important feature of the Conger dis
patch, which the officials of the State De-
partment declined to give out for publica-
tion, as well as OF dispatches which have
been received I'm European countries and
which the governments are keeping secret.
General Chaffee has been informed of the
contents of the latest Conger message, so
that he is in possession OF all the facts.
For long time the imperial government
has been urging the departure of the min
listers. but the diplomats fearing the made
quscy OF the proposed Chinese escort, have
declined TO accede TO the request
OF the Chinese authorities. With
the allied army. but a dozen miles away.
however. the situation would be changed.
BY taking the action contemplated the Chi
nese would comply with that feature of the
Presidents note to the Emperor. in which
he urged that the imperial authorities of
China be placed in communication with
the relief expedition. so that cooperation
may be secured for the liberation of the
ministers. 1t is not known definitely who
the Chinese officials that is to meet the
ENJOYS will be. but the name of Prince
Ching has been suggested. He is a we'll
known pro-foreigner and has been largely
instrumental in defending the legationers

When the session came to order yesterday
morning there were probably not more than
two hundred people in the hall. The at
tendance did not materially increase dur

six hundred delegates in attendance.

yesterday were women, and two three
colored men were on the floor. A few dele
gates TO the National third-ticket conven-

times during the day were members OF the

and making himself conspicuous on the

to arouse keen enthusiasm in the delegates.
