Old granny in her easy chair
Sits DER her Bible bent;

That keeps her so intent!
She's peering through her spectacles;
Her eyes are almost blind:
For though she's lusty still, she's left
Some fourscore years behind
How dazed and dull she looks today!
What can the reason be?
That dog keeps Juggling at her skirts.
And yet she doesn't see
She doesn't mind the kitten, too
He's climbed into her lap;
Nor feels that the canary bird
Has perched upon her cap.
The evening sun comes shining in,
And tints her cheeks with red:
Oh, God, have mercy! Can 1t be?
Old granny she is dead!

schooner's bowsprlt and boom were
carried away, but she is not leaking.

This dispatch will tend to make those
who discredit the alleged Conger dis
patch of the 18th more sure of their
ground. There is no question OF the
authenticity Of this last dispatch, and
1t shows 1t on its face. 1t will be argued
that If the Chinese government had
given Mr.. Conger an opportunity to send
Il message to his government he would
have sent a message more like the one Of
July 4, giving in some detail the situa-
tion rather than a few words which
could have fitted any moment from the
middle of June to the present moment.
This message from Minister Conger
was the il st communication of unques-
tionable authenticity which has been
received from the American minister at
fekin since his urgent appeal for help OF

that the American minister, and prob

the dispatch. A notable omission in Mr.,
CongeTs dispatch is the failure to men,

minister at Pekin, which surely occurred
many days before he wrote his message.
"A discussion Of the authenticity of the
dispatch from Minister Conger, dated at
Pekin on the 18th inst, has developed
the fact that, several years ago, a copy
of the state department cipher code dis
appeared and never has been recovered.
These code books are numbered and re-
ceipted for when placed in the hands of
those entitled to them. The intimation
was given that the missing code book
fell into the hands of the Chinese gov

culated to inspire doubt of the au-
thenticity of the Conger message.
State department officials decline to
discuss the story of the theft of the code
book, but do enter a denial that they
ever entertained a suspicion that it had
fallen into the hands Of the Chinese gov
