LONDON, July 1O.-A Shanghai despatch
10 a news agency. under todays date says:
The Empress Dowager is again in con-
troll at Pekin- She resumed the reins OF
Government on June 80. The Empress at
once appointed General Yung Lu Prime
Minister.
News to this effect arrived here from
official sources at 10 O'Clock last night 1;
1t was received with rejoicing by the
foreigners.
1T is said that the Empress sent a
despatch to Nanking by swift courier
thanking the Viceroys of the Yangtse
Kiang provinces for their loyalty and
recommending that they protect foreigners
at any cost
Another report Of the assassination Of
Baron Won Ketteler, the German Minister.
is to the effect that-he was murdered by a
Manchu regiment, which was nominaIly
commanded by Prince Ching. who is appar-
emily trying 20 protect the foreigners But
the Chinese say the regiment had got be-
yond Prince Ching's control. If this is
true, # discounts Prince Ching's ability to
aid the legations.
Arouse Slight Hope.
Although the tidings from Shanghai aIe
received with reserve. owing to the M
merous contradictory reports emauating
from there since the Boxer rebellion b.
gan. there is a tendency to hope that TIE
wreck and slaughter in Pelin have not
been complete; that some of the legations
are standing, and that a number of the for
eign ministers have been saved from the
adherents of Prince Tuan.
The assertion that the Empress Dowager
has resumed control. following closely VI on
the announcement that Prince Ching.
backed by loyal army. is protecting the
foreigners, has given ground for the slight
revival of hopefulness apparent in Eng
land today.
Admitting that the usurper Tuan has
been elected from imperial power, the re-
storatiOn of the Empress Dowager must
have been accomplished by the army under
Prince Ching II the events alleged have
occurred, the anxious world should sool be
supplied with accurate information from
Pekin direct. If such information is not
soon received, the report OF Ching's de-
fence of foreigners and the RESUMPTION OF
power by the Empress Dowager must be
thrown aside with the great mass of false
Dispatches that have been sent out of
China during the past few weeks. II the
Empress DOwager has, through the military
offices Of Prince Ching, succeeded in saving
any OF the foreigners who were shut up
In Pes'n, some one Of the powers ought

(H. q. Brewp.)

Although there were few members, tie

After prayer by the chaplain, Prof.

statement that Senator Deboe Of Ken
lucky was illegally appointed as Gov.
Taylor who appointed him, is not yet
Governor of Kentucky. He began a
speech on the same, but was interrupt
ed by Senator Daniels who raised the
cali for quorum. Then the roll was
called. A quorum being present Sena.

answered by Ser ator Deboe who bold

matter was handed over to q commit.

of the Ways and Means committee con.
sisting of Senators Daniels, Depew and

man of the committee, read the report
thus: "After thorough and careful

to all laboring people, and where the
Iabering people would reap their due
reward were it not for Trusts, especially
the farm ers and miners, whereas now
they only get part but the Trusts get
the other and greater part. Finally
Senator Hanna stated that he wished
to speak on this bill in the future and
therefore moved that it be tabled and
was seconded by Senator sewell. It
was carried, none opposing. TheD
came bill granting the Federal Gov
ernment the right to Interfere in cases
of lynching, No. 1860, Senator Elkins
having called for it's reading. Senator
EIkins gave very strong talk on the
affirmative and wound up his speech
by saying, "GentIeman of this assem-
oily, I do not believe that there Is one
Senator present, whose heart IS SO
black and corrupt that he for one mo-
ment would oppose the passage of this
bill, yea even for one moment would

Senator Beverage who showed that the
Federal Government had no right to
interfere in cases Of lynchlng ald there
fore the Senate no right to do that which
is wrong. Finally Senator Quay made
motion which was seconded by Sena
tor Platt, that the bill be tabled for
further discussion as he wished to
speak on it In the near future, and it
was carried. Senator Daniels having
called for bill No. $3.50, on "Female
