DESTRUCTION OF
PEKIN is URGED

Copyright, 1906, by the Associated Press. }
Che Foo, July 20, via Shanghai, Aug.
Public opinion and the foreign press
at the treaty ports are alarmed at the
possibility that the Chinese would pre-
vail upon the powers to consent to the
establishment of peace without inf1ict-
ing punishment BETTING the Chinese
governments crime
Officials, persons engaged in CONNER
cial pursuits and missionaries of all
nauonalities are remarkably united.
They believe Pekin should be de-
stroyed as an object lesson and that if
the dynasty is continued it should be
forced TO establish the capital at some
accessible city, the Americans suggest
ing Nankin. This is considered i'm
portant, as the Chinese always believ-
ed China defeated the powers in 1860
because the capital remained intact
1t is also thought that guarantees to
prevent excessive armament should be
demanded and that China should be
compelled definitely and publicly to
renounce the fiction that the foreign
ministers of tributary powers.
There is strong demand that I'M
usual punishment like the destruction
Of kings tOmbs, American and Eng
lish missionaries programme is similar
to the foreign.
Iuey DeleVe thdt the Chinese gov
eminent engineered the outbreaks and
is trying to call off its troops after
the downfall of Tien Tsin and the re-
ceipt of reports that the powers are
sending armies to China. A German
legation telegram saying that the
bOmbardment of the legations ceased
on July II, supports this theory. The
foreigners think that the ministers who
suffered should, if rescued, conduct the
settlement with the government for
the effect it would have on the popu-
lace.
An intensely bitter feeling prevails
against Ii Hung Chang. The papers
denounced the honor paid him at Hong
Kong and Shanghai and call him the
most corrupt anti-foreign official in
China and express the belief that he
proposes to save China from the pen
atty of her acts by embroiling the pow
ers
The destruction of foreign property
continues. United States Consul FoW-
Ter estimates that the losses of The
American missions amount to s. 500. 600
The losses through suspension of trade
are enormous.
A cable is being laid between Che
Foo and Taku. The land line between
Che Foo and Shanghai is managed and
operated by Cinnamon and is ineffic-
lent. The line is Overcrowded with
work, and business is in hopeless con-
fusion. Messages over this line are
public property. There should be a
cable between Che Foo and Shanghai
managed by foreigners so as 10 give
satisfactory service

SALSON THE ASSA|LANT
Name of Man Who Attacked
Shah Is Learned.
KNOWN ASIAN ANARCHIST
TWICE SENT TO PRISON FOR
PREACHING DOCTRINE.

Paris, Aug AT the meeting of the
cabinet this morning it was announced
that the would-be assassin of the shah of
Persia had given his name as SalsOn- A
man of this name. who had been regarded
and watched as an anarchist, disappeared
from Paris in 1895 and had not since been
located
For a month before the attempted
homicide Salson had been living al a small
hotel. He was there regarded as a model
bOarder. He was regular in his habits,
but was taciturn and had few comDan-
ions He had never talked politics.
During the last few days he was espec-
Tally reticent. 1t IS believed he purchased
the revolver three days ago.
As a result OF the attempt on the shan s
life the curious crowd which surrounded
the palace Of soyereigns today was pre-
vented from approaching the palace when
the shah started for Vincennes. where a
military review was held in his honor.
An escort of Dragons surrounded the
royal carriage
The shah seems the least concerned of
all over the effort to take his life, and he
has not curtailed the programme he had
In view.
The discovery Of SalsOn's identity was
made by means of the Bertillon system,
his measurements agreeing with a card
st police headquarters. When shown the
card and photograph the criminal said
Yes, that is me-"
His full name is Francois SalsOn. He is
q Frenchman and was born in 1876 He
was regarded as a dangerous anarchist
and in October, 1885, was condemned to
three months Imprisonment for preaching
anarchy. In June, 1899, he was con-
demned to eight months Imprisonment
for a like offense.
The Echo de Paris says that Salson, al
though cor demned to eight months i'm
prisonment last year, never went to pris-
on The police Knew his address and he
nsSer hid himself. The paper says:
ITO what powerful protection did this
anarchist owe such a favor?"
1t is officially announced that in con-
sequence of the death of the Duke Of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the shah has
abandoned his visit to England.

ineligible form to the Chinese lega-
ton here.
1.-The dispatch in its complete form
saws that the mem bers of the American
legation had been besieged for a month
in the British legation. Mr.. Fowler has
no doubt of the genuineness of the dis
patch"
Some interesting facts connected with
the original cipher message have been
brought to light by Mr.. FOwler's re
port. It appears that when Minister
WI received the cipher message on
July q he found that it contained a
cipher within a cipher.
| The governor of Shan Tung, Yuan,
transmitted with the message a mes
sage from the Tsung Ii Yamen, which
in turn transmitted Mr.. Conger's mes
sage. The latter was in the state de-
partment cipher: the former in the
Chinese official cipher.
When Mr. WI, in deciphering the
message, reached the end of the Tsung
Ii Yamen's message of transmittal, he
was unaware of that fact and thought
| that the several groups OF figures fol-
lowing were a portion of the Tsung Lii
Yamen's message As a matter of fact,
they were the initial words of Mr.. Con-
gers message. and they were undeci-
were in the state department code.
Instead of beginning: In British le-
gatiDn." etc, Mr.. Conger'S message
really began: we have been for a
month in the British legation" etc.
Another fact developed is that the
message was signed 'E. P. Conger,
July IL"
Many persons had supposed that
while the message was genuine. it was
one written by Mr.. Conger long before
! and that il had been fraudulently dated
| by the Chinese officials. Now it appears
| that the Tsung Ii Yamen, or Yuan,
| did date It the 18th.
II is thought that this date was accu-
| rate, and that while Mr.. COnger actual
| ly wrote his dispatch on the 18th and
| put in cipher ready for transmission at
| the first opportunity, the message did
not leave Pekin until the following day.

PLOT TO KILL THE QUEEN.
Details of Conspiracy Are Learned in
Paterson.


New York, Aug. 3.-Information from
Rome is printed here to the effect that
Antonio Lanas. arrested as an accompIice
of BresCi, has confessed, affirming that a
plot existed involving the simultaneous
assassination of King Humbert and Queen
Margherita.
Tonight in a saloon in Straight street.
Paterson, n. j., an Italian whose name
does not appear to be known 10 the pro
prietor of the place. said he knew of a
meeting held in that city early in May, of
which he intended to inform the authori-
ties. The story he told was as follows:
The group Of existence held a meeting
about May ], and after the others had de-
parted the leaders held d long secret SeS-
sion Those present were Bresci Quinta
Valla, GTaisOni and AlphonSo Blanidies.
ESteVe ana Widmar. the editor of the
paper issued by the Group. and enc or
two others. The men talked over trip
which Bresci. Quintavalli. GraiSOni Qan-
na) and some others were to take. The
meeting was held to read q letter from
Count Malatesta. There were also letters
from Genoa and Paris. Quintavalh left
Paterson soon after the meeting, which
ended early in the morning. Bresci also
lett. but came back on May - and col
lected his money at the silk MILL
''MalateSta is the man who led all these
things. His is a great mind; the others
are weak"
Esteve said TO night that neither he nor
Widmar knew BreSci was going to Italy.
They had never talked with Bresci about
murder. They had talked with him many
times over how to spread the teachings of
anarchy throughout the United States.

New York. Aug. "a dispatch to the

their families, have arrived here. They
escaped from Pekin and were chased
across the sand and mountains of the
Cobb desert for 400 miles, suffering fear

posture and lack of food and wateS
The Russian governor of Transbaikalia
sent out 500 Cossacks, who galloped
south 400 miles into the desert and res
cued them.
The cavalry gave them food and shell
ter and brought them to TroitzkOsawsk,
