FOURTH OF JULY TRANSFORMER

LIBERTY AZ HOME IN DANGER.

author 10 illustrate his argument. Mr. BRYAN
continued:
IL is not for the Philippine Islands that we are

Department But a little reflection will show
how inadequate a ground for confidence that Is.
The Chinese are as skiful and as expert in ci-
pher codes as Americans, and perhaps even
more 40. There seems to be no reason to doubt
that they long ago had opportunity to capture
Mr. Conger's property, including his cipher
book with that book in their hands 1t would
be an easy matter for them to concoct what
messages they pleased and to send them out IN
his name eve pass by the possibility that ire
cipher may have become known outside the le-
CATION, through spying or otherwise as other
ciphers Of other Governments not infrequentiy
have) Again, is 1t not possible that II may
prove to be an old dispatch which Mr.. Conger
tried to send out weeks ago, but which was in
tercepted by the Chinese rebels? 1t reads pre-
cisely as a dispatch OF some weeks ago might
have read, and in fact as some Of Sir Robert
Harris dispatches at that time did read And,
as we have said 1t has no date Moreover.
even IL the Chinese have not become acquainted
with our cipher by capture or by spying, 1t Is
tn be remembered that all our dispatches pass
through their hands and they can If they wish,
keep copies of them in the original cipher
Then, when the substance If not the text or
those dispatches is published, what could be
more simple than to compare them with the CT
pher and thus get sure clew to the declpher-
ment thereof? These and other obvious consid-
erations compel conservatism in estimating the
value of this alleged dispatch.
In thus suspending judgment upon the matter
there is, of course, no imputation against the
Chinese Minister at Washington. We may well
believe that he has acted in entire good faith
The deception, II any there be, is at the other
end of the line, and he is deceived as well as
the Washington Government Nor is there the
slightest depreciation of the services tact and
enterprise of the State Department at Wash
ington, which are worthy Of the highest credit
Colonel Hay took the best possible means at his
command to solve the awful mystery of Peking
and If this dispatch shall prove to be genuine
he will be entitled to the gratitude OF the
world for having first of all the world brought
light ont of the ominous darkness that has
brooded over the Chinese capital for many
weeks. But, however all these things may be-
one thing is plain and sure beyond all possible
question That is that if this dispatch be true,
As we most heartily hope 1t will prove to be,
it is most imperative duty Of the Powers to
send relief to Peking We can imagine no more
hideous record against the Powers of the civil
lied and Christian world than that, after all
these weeks of peril and of desperate defence,
the Ministers were still alive on July Is, and
vet the Powers abandoned them to their fate
and they were ultimately lost. It is time to stop
haggling over points Of precedence and Ell
quette in the selection of commander for the
cooperating forces, and to act upon the as
sumption that the duty of a relief expedition is
to give expeditions relief.

TIE DISPATCH FROM MR. CoyGEP


The latest news from Picking is the most be-
wildering Of all We refer TO the dispatch pur-
porting 10 have come from the American Min
lister in response to the one sent to him by the
State Department through the Chinese Min
lister at Washington. The dispatch, which is
printed in oar news ~ INNS this morning, came
IN the regular cipher e. the State Department
with which only Mr.. C6nger and his secretary
are supposed to be acquainted. Therefore upCn
the face of it it is assumed to be authentic
1T is said that the President, the Secretary of
State and other Government officials at Wash
ington accept it such. Certainly all men
must sincerely hope their confidence is well
founded. AS for The Tribune. 1t has so Der
sistently sought to find ground for hopefulness
even when reports were most disheartening
that the complete establishment of the authen-
ITCHY Of the dispatch and the indisputabIe
knowledge that the Ministers at Picking are
alive and well would be confirmation Of its
views. Yet we are compelled TO confess that
at the present moment the dispatch or the
published paraphrase of it, is by no means con-
Tincing, and we must wait for further corrobo-
ration or explanation before giving it full Gre
nence.
We have said II is bewildering. That is not
because it seems TO contradict the rumors of
massacre that have from time to time come
from Picking by way Of Shanghai. The world
already knew that most If not all, of them
were lies. II is not because it announces that
the Ministers were still alive three days ago.
Many OF us have seen no good reason for think
ing otherwise II is not because it appears to
have been possible TO get Colonel Hays cis-
patch 10 Mr.. COnger and Mr. Conger's reply
back 10 Colonel Hay. We have all along as
sumed that there were men in China who could
thus get dispatches through, if they would
NO, but the strange thing is that Mr.. Conger
should in such circumstances. have sent such
a dispatch The fact that ii is undated and
therefore void OF it's most vital feature is omi-
nOusly suspicious; though Consul-Genera Good
now seems TO confirm the date imputed TO IT,
But If we pass that by, on the theory that Of
fetal dispatch writers have an incurable bent
for emitting dates from important documents.
we are by no means past the discredting feat
ures Of the case. The question inevitably
arises Why did not Mr.. COnger say more
There is In the dispatch no reference 10 the
German Minister'S death, nor TO former at
1empts 10 communicate with this Government,
nor 10 the losses sustained by the legation
guards during the troubles. nor to any Of r,any
things which, one would think must he upber-
most in the Minister'S mind. If the dispatch / q
authentic. we must conclude that the stress and
horror Of his situation had acted as a ver:table
obsession Of Mr. Conger's mind and restrained
him from doing the very things which in normal
circumstances he would certainly have done
first Of all
Reliance is placed upon the fact that The dis
Sstch came in the regular cipher of the State
