New York on August 10, asking for
names of Pao Ting Flu missionaries in
Pekin and whether they are safe. Dr.
Wherry, assuming that the board would
know what missionaries of the regular

to be informed only of the presence of

REVOLVER DUEL
At a CoIored Picnic IN Andovcr, Mass.
Resulted in Murder.

Andover, Mass, August 22.-At col
ored picnic at Shawsheen grove this after
noon, a quarrel between George Daven-
port Of Boston and Edward L. Janifer Of
Cambridge, eliminated IN a duel with
revolvers, the result OF which was the
death Of Davenport from bullet in the
heart, the arrest OF Janifer on the charge
of murder, while William Norris, also of
Boston received a stray bullet in the leg
AS both Davenport and Janlfer fired five
shots at each Otner there was something
approaching a panic among the three or
fOur hundred people In the grove and it
is surprising that others were not hit.
Both men had been drinking heaviIy but
it is believed that the quarrel was an
old one. Friends tried in vain to part the
men, fearing serious results, but the pas
siOns of the two ragged too high and after
calling each other vile names, both pulled
revoIvers and began shooting. At the
fourth shot Davenport was hit in the nose
and in the next he fell to the ground
with a bullet in his heart, expiring soon
after. Janifer was at once secured and
taken before Judge Poor. He was ar
raigned on the charge of murder, pleaded
not guilty and was held without bail for
the Septem ber grand jury Norris who
caught the bullet in the leg, had the mis-
sile extracted by local physician and
was not seriously injured, Janifer, after
being taken to the Lawrence jail, claimed
that the shooting was in seIf-defense.
Very little is known here of Davenport
except that he was OF q rowing d1sposi-
ton,

The police of Cambridge say that Jani-

fellow.
1t is understood that the colored Odd
Fellows Will do everything in their power
to aid him and tonight engaged counsel
to look after Janifer interests.

The Daily Chronicle publishes an IN
terview with the japanese minister IN
London, Kato Takaaki, which represents
him as having said:
1.-THE Empress is the heart and soul of
China. So long as she lives so long as
she remains in China, whether the su-
preme power is taken from her or not, she
VIII always be the greatest force, the
only one above all others 30 be reekoned
with. The difficulty win be to get any
one who can speak for her. 1 fear that
the influence of Ii Hung Chang is now
OF extremely little weight.
1.-The powers must come to a final un-
derstanding quickly. Riots anarchy,
bloodshed and misery throughout China
win be the inevitable result of policy
that does not Immediately disclose it
self. The government must be re-estab-
nshed.''
The Japanse envoy expressed his ap-
proval of the reported American sugges-
tion regarding a conference of the pow
ers and said he believed that satisfactory
pecu MARY compensation could be secured
If the resources Of China were properly
developed despite the fact that her
present revenues are pledged.

according to the Daily Malls correspon-
dent, expresses the opinion that his labors
in China will be of long duration 'as

FROM MISSIONARIES.
some Important But Rather Mixed
CabIegrams From PeIkin.


New York, Aug. 22--The first cable
grams which have come to the mission
boards in this city from Pelzin since com
munication was cut, over two months
ago, arrived today. One of them was
received by the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions. 1t came from the Rev.
Dr. Wherry of Pekin, and was dated
from Che Foo, where it is supposed to
have been sent via Tien Tsin. 1t was as
follows:
ssMackey some converts marvelously
saved. Property mission private totally
destroyed Wire friends"
Robert e. Spear. one Of the secretaries
of the board, commented on this as
follows:
Several words are mispelled. We're
for wire, 'Wherry for wherry and In
culcals' for inculcate, and the board
cable address. There is much doubt as
to the meaning of the message. The
most hopeful Interpretation is that it
refers to Pao Ting Flu and that some
converts may be mistake for Sim
coxes'. Perhaps the omission of the
mention of DR. and Mrs. Hodges, about
whose location there has been some

CONGER TO BE RELIEVED.
Nav York, August ga despatch to
the World from Washington, says: The
War Department sent General ChatTee q
cablegram of four words this afternoon,
which practically takes things out of
Minister Conger hands and puts Gener-
al Chaffee in the position OF utmost re-
spOnsibility. The message said:
Report operations, situation, require
ments.''
There is no intention Of deprecating
Minister Conger; the government has the
livelfest sense Of gratitude for him; but
1t is not deemed expedient to act on his
dispatches because, after his terrible ex-
perience, he is naturally biased and be-
cause he needs and deserves a rest. Tt Is
proposed to have Mr. Conger come home
at the first opportunity and enjoy a long
period of rest and recuperation.
MORE FIGHTING INEVITABLE.
Washington, August 22. 1.-The War De-
partment announced early in the day that
it was in receipt of casualty list from
public about noon. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the Chaffee despatch contained
a considerable amount OF matter beside
the list of killed and wounded, and
was the subject OF an extended White
House conference between the President,
Secretary Root, and Acting $ ecretary of
State Adee. 1t was hoped by the Offic-
las that the receipt OF detailed news from
General Chaffee would simplify the siLu-
alton considerably, and enable It's gov
ternment to map out, in large degree, its
future line Of action in China, This was
not the case, however. General Chafee's
telegram indicated that there may yet be
considerable heavy lighting around Pc
kin, and between that city and the coast.
