this expectation is the taking on the part
OF officials that certain machinery here
ttofore set in motion may result in the
opening up of communication through
some secret though reliable channel. 1t
is known that q second effort has been
made by our own government to get an
other message from Mr.. Conger, and that
nearly all of the powers also have resort
ed to private agencies in their own in
terest with a like object. The fact has
just been developed that one of the last
acts of the late Col. Liscumb before his
death at Tien Tsin was to undertake the
dispatch of a spy to Picking. Gen. Dor
ward, the British commanding officer at
Tien Tsin, also sent out two messengers,
and it is believed that the Japanese did
the same. Up to 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 abandonment of hope,
and this Is true in particular of the mes
sage expected from Mr.. Conger. Minister
WI is perhaps the basis for this hope on
our part, and he maintains an mistaken
confidence in his original assertion that
the news when 1t does come will show
that the legationers are alive. The mes
sage reported to have come through Mis-
sionary Wilder at Chefoo is regarded as
most promising.

WI HAD NO MESSAGES.


Minister WI had no cablegrams himself
today, nor had the state department any
directly from China. Nothing further has
been heard as to the date Set for the be-
ginning of the movement from Tien Tsin
toward Picking, and 1t is said here that
this is a detail that must be fixed by the
military commanders upon the spot A
message came to the war department
from the quartermaster on the Lenox an
nouncing the arrival of that ship, togeth-
er with the Conemaugh, at Kobe, Japan.
They have aboard the mounts for
the Sixth cavalry, and although they will
start for Taku at once, not less than five
days will be consumed in this last stage
Of the voyage. 1t is doubtful whether
Gen. Chaffee would care to leave Taku
without horses for the Sixth cavalry, par
ticularly, as according to all reports,
mounted cavalry is needed for successful
operations in the fiat country lying be-

tween Tien Tsfn and Taku. This fact
alone may delay operations until late in
the present week, though at least a Dor
ton of the international column NAV
start on the day fixed, namely, tomorrow.
Assurances received here show that the
Japanese government is doing all in its
power to facilitate the international
movement, and though the good will of
the Japanese was never suspected, as far
as the United States Is concerned, the
knowledge is gratifying.
