IMPERIAL EDICT.
1t Gives the Reason for the Present
ConflietA Between China and
the Powers.

Washington, July 24.-The state de-
livered by Minister WI to Secretary
Hay. 1t says:
THE present conflict between Chi
ma and the foreign powers had its
origin in the long standing antagon-
ism between the people and Christian
missions. The subsequent fall of tn,
Taku forts precipitated the meeting
of force with force. The imperial
government, having due regard to the
Importance of international inter-
course still refused to go so far as to
interrupt the existing relations. We
have already repeatedly issued de-
crecs providing for the protection OF
the foreign legations and also COM
manded the provincial authorities to
protect missionaries. Inasmuch as
there is still no cessation in the en-
ployment of force, foreign merchants
and subjects residing in China, who
form numerous body in the coun-
try, should be protected without dis
tinction. We hereby command all
the Tartar generals, governors-general
and governors of provinces to look az.
ter the foreign merchants and mij-
sionaries living in the open ports,
procedures, departments and districts
under their respective jurisdiction,
and to afford them due protection in
accordance with treaty stipulations
without fail. = Since the COM
mencement of the attack in Tien-Tsin,
there are foreign subjects ami mis-.
sionaries who have, on account of To-
cal disturbances, suffered death or
loss of property, though no fault of
their own. We hereby command the
governor of Peking and the viceroy
of Chih Ii to cause Investigations to
be made by their respective subordin-
ates of all such claims except those
arising directly from the said attack
with view to their ultimate settle
ment. Moreover, local outlaws and
rebellious subjects have of late given
themselves up burning, killing and
plundering to the great disquiet of
| our Ioyal SUBJECTS. Inls rs an utter
defiance of law. We hereby command
the said governors-general, COVER
nors and commanders of our forces
10 investigate the situation, and TO
take such measures for the punish
ment of the offenders and restoration
of order as the necessities of the case
| demand

they are available as security for

Z, but who has since held on by
reason of the vacancy being un-

as an official and withdrew his ap
plication for re appointment. The
principal reason for taking this step.
he says, is because the Governor

Old Gideon Carr made this statement
Thursday night as lie was being taken
from the county jail, preparatory to his
removal to the penitentiary.
There was no friend or relative at the
jail or depot TO bid him good by, al
though they knew that he was to be
taken away. This seeming neglect
touched the old man deeply. He was
impressed with the idea that he had
been deserted by everybody.
Before being taken to the depot he
said to the court house attache who
had taken the trouble TO try and
comfort him, Il see now where made
a mistake. | should have pleaded
guilty and thrown myself on the mer-
