DEVELOPMENTS OF THE DAY.
Advices from Minister Conser and
General Chaffee Received.
Assnciated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-After several
days intermission in Chinese advices the
government to-day received two dispatches
which presumably bring its advices up to
the most recent date. There are indications
that the principal delays in the lines of
communication are encountered between
Tien-Tsin and Peking. fact explainable by
the newspaper advices that small bands of
Boxers are operating on the line of COM
munication of the Peking campaign force.
Just such interference with the work of the
signal corps men were experienced by the
United States forces in the Philippines and
by Lord Roberts's troops in the Transvaal.
Usually these interruptions are very short,
the marauders being driven off and the
lines restored within a day or two. The
fact that more than a week was covered
by the last interruption gives rise to the
belief here that these attacks upon the
lines of communication by Boxers are more
formidable than was supposed to be possi-
ble after the heavy losses inflicted upon
them by the international force in its ad-
vance.
The important dispatch of the day was
one from Minister Conger relative to the
military situation in Peling Unfortunate
ly IL lacked a date, the minister, -presuma,
bly,. not having yet received the depart
ment's instruction to include the date in
the body of his dispatches. The State De
partment at first undertook TO have the
cable companies correct this serious omis-
sion, but finally. concluding from internal
evidence that Mr. Congers message was
later than any official emanation from the
Chinese capital, the message was allowed
publicity for what it was worth Mr.. Con-
gers reference to the arrival of 1900 fresh
German troops caused some surprise. no
one, apparently. having closely watched
the movement of the German contingent,
portions of which are arriving almost daily
in China, and which consequently may be
expected. soon to equal in numerical
strength the military contingents of any of
the European nations there represented.

and that most difficult and exhausting
street fighting was necessary to dislodge
the enemy. Throughout the day NJ. Pichon,
the French minister. and the legation staff
marched beside General Frey. Finally his
column occupied Carbon hill. The French
had four men killed and two officers and
three men wounded. The Russians and
japanese also suffered.
General Frey pays high tribute to the
courage of the troops. who accounted for
more than five hundred Chinese dead, left
on the field.
The French consul at Shanghai wires
that Emperor Kwang Su and Prince Tuan
are now in the province of Shen-Si. With
reference to the missionaries and engineers
at Chen-Ting- Flu, southwest of Peking, the
consul says that they are as yet uninjured,
but that their position is critical.

HFake" Correspondents More to BE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27-The alarming
stories of the past few days concerning
the situation in China are discredited by
the dispatch received to-day from Minister
Conger. In the absence of daily dispatches
from Peking takers and alarmists found
their opportunity. The allies, it was
shouted. were in peril. imperial troops,
Boxers and Black Flags were marching
in vast hordes upon Picking ready to over
whelm the allies by mere weight of num-
bers. Instead. two thousand German
troops have already reached Peking and
more reinforcements have arrived at Taku
and can be forwarded If needed. The
Shanghai story that Russia, Germany and
Japan have entered into an alliance to
conquer China is authoritatively denied by
the German charge d'affaires in Washing
ton. The story that Russia has declared war
against China and would act alone in the
credited. Russia. doubtless, will treat the
Chinese attacks on Russian towns on the
Amur as acts of war and will seize terri
tory in Manchuria. perhaps all of that
province. in consequence. but this does not
mean Russia is. has been. or will be en-
gagged in war against China in the inter-
national sense. Minister Conger's reassur-
ing dispatch dispels the scare tales sent
out by the yellow journalists in China.
1t is said in administration circles that
I'm the event of the ability OF the powers TO
agree upon Chinese policy that will pre-
serve the integrity OF the empire, the plan
most likely 10 be adopted will provide for
International administration of the GUS
toms service. Under this plan representa-
tives OF the several allied powers having
forces on Chinese soil will be stationed at
all the customs ports of China to super
wise or administer the service and watch
the revenues. with a view to insuring the
collection OF the enormous indemnity that
will be individually demanded by each of
the governments 1t is understood that this
or some JOINT supervisory scheme OF a sim
ilar character will be favored by this gov
ernment and while other governments may
make other proposals for future policy of a
different nature. there is no information in
the possession OF this government TO indi.

STEVENSON INDORSED.
Vote of PopuIist Committee Was
Against N Separate Candidate.


CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-At a meeting of the
Peoples party national committee to-day
the declination of Charles A. Towne as the
vice presidential nominee of the party was
accepted and the name of Adlai f. Steven
son was put in his place. This result was
obtained after a long debate beginning at
p. m. and ending about $50 p. m. In the
beginning there were three courses advo-
Gated by different members of the COM
mittee, viz: To nominate Populist, TO
leave the place blank, or, lastly to indorse
Mr.. Stevenson.
Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the
committee, in warm speech of some
length, advocated leaving the place blank,
contending that Bryan and Stevenson
would receive more Populist votes than II
a candidate for Vice President were
named. But one test vote was taken. A mo-
ton was made to indorse Mr.. Stevenson.
For this motion Mr.. Washburn, of Massa-
chusetts, moved, as a substitute, that
Populist be placed upon the ticket. The
substitute was lost on call of the roll by
a vote of "A ayes to IL nays. The original
motion was then adopted by viva voce

of the few white-washed one in the viii
lage. Most of them are of warm, pinSish-
red stone. 1t is quaint littel place, neatly
kept now, though it was once SO out of
repair that it was almost uninhabitable.
But for the unexpected fame which came
to it it would undoubtedly have been
allowed to go utterly to ruin. .Ay, it was

stranger protested that it was good, but

look at the names on the piece of paper
he rendered her The man left in a hurry.
Miss Cooney reported the matter about
three hours after it occurred. She could
not notify the police sooner because she
was alone in the store.
The house given on Clifton place was

informed the Almighty that if He were
to thrown down the wall on top of him it
would be just punishment for his sins.

that moment pushed over the wall, and
Sandy was heard to mutter Indignantly
