past few days, and sincere ef-
forts are now making to devise
some alternative to the almost
unworkable plan of cooperative
war of six powers against one.
There is no longer any doubt
that some intermediate step will
be agreed upon between the
present deadlock and an ulti-
matum which would make war
inevitable.
The emperor goes on to appeal
TO the kaiser to regard their COM
mon interests and allow early
peace negotiations.
Princes Chwang, Yih, Tsailion
and Tsaiying have been dismiss
ed from their herditary rank
and all offices. Prince Tuan has
been dismissed from Office aud
ordered 70 trial. Four other
high officials have been handed
over TO trial.
The emperor mentions these
punitive measures in the letter
to the kaiser. An imperial re-
script to the car is also issued,
thanking the latter for the prom
ise to withdraw Russian troops
from Pekin, and asking his assis-
tance in peace negotiations.
The emperor also writes the
mikado regreting the murder of
the Japanese secretary of lega-
ton.
EMPEROR TO KAISER.
Shanghai, Sept. 30.-An inn
peral letter to the German en-
peror sent tonight quotes the
Chinese emperor as follows:
"This sudden uprising in China
has resulted III the murder of
your minister. My subordinates
have acted disgracefully and
have broke our friendly rela-
tions, for which L deeply sorrow.
1 have today ordered Grand
Councillor Kungkang to offer
oblations before the minister's
coffin. | have also ordered Ii
Hung Chang and Liu Kun vi to
afford every facility for the re-
turn of the coffin to Germany.
When it reaches that country
l have ordered my minister al
Berlin to egain make oblations,
and thus show my profound
regrets.

pQ|hG TUAh'5 TRIAL ORDERED
Chinese Imperial Authorities Take
Wise Step-The Court Advisers
are Blamed Is Ex-
pected 10 Recede.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The
Chinese imperial authorities,
evidently following the sugges-
ton of the United States that
the Chinese, not the powers,
should punish the ringleaders of
the Boxer uprising, have direct
ed that Prince Tuan, the Boxer
chief, be degraded and brought
to trial for causing the trouble.
this is regarded here as making
untenable the German PROPOSE
ton to the powers to punish the
Boxer leaders before peace ne
gotiations have begun. The
news about Tuan came to the
state department this afternoon
in dispatch from Consul Good
now, at Shanghai, who says he
has received the decree of the
emperor and empress dated at
Taignanz, Sept. 90.
The decree blames the minis
ters for encouraging the Boxers,
ordering the degrading of four
princes, depriving Tuan of his
salary and directing his trial be
fore the imperial court.
EUROPE EXPECTED WAR.
London, Sept. 30.-European
opinion is rapidly becoming
unanimous to the effect that
serious punitive measures must
be executed before China makes
any real atonement for the Pekin
crimes or furnish adequate
guarantees that they will not be
repeated. This is equivalent tC
the belief that a general wal
must be undertaken by the
allies. Every government ir
Europe except Germany, and
possibly Russia, shrinks from
the conflict, but there is little
doubt, even in England, thai
there would be popular support
of the undertaking, if it seems
unavoidable.
The long delay In sending the
British reply to Germany ha:
not been spent in idleness BY
the diplomats. There has beer
a constant exchange of views be
tween the governments con
cerned which has cleared th'
situation. 1t is safe to assnm,
that Salisbury won't assent t.
the German proposal, as it woul'
be equivalent to a declaration O
war by all the powers asserting
The mutual distrust among tn
powers has decreased in tn

4 COAT WHICH CREW.
story Of Clever Prisoners Plan fos
 Escape.


 Green Casey, a convict at San Quen. tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow eonviets at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris' on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county. the story has leaked out, says the San Francisco Call. Casey was kind of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. AS he was stroll ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the watchfu1 sentries and make good his escape. Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down earelessly at one end of the prison grounds. and Watered it daily In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new contriyance across to the northwest of the prison. and in a few minutes was under his grassy coat Slowly he erept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear anees success would crown his efforts But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat which was slowly making it's way Up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey, and red shirt now covers his breast
