CzAR AUTHORIZES MINISTER AT

IF HE THINKS BEST.

st. Petersburg, August 1.-THE Official
Messenger today published the following:
'.The foreign Office received a telegram
today direct from M. DeGiers Russian min
lister al the Chinese capitaD, from Pekin.
The dispatch was evidently taken by special
courier to Tsi Nan from the capital OF
Shan Tung, and was thence telegraphed
on August by the local Yamen.
IN. DeGiers announces that the siege OF
the legations continues, the besieged still
having some provisions left. The Chinese
government proposes to transmit the min
ister's messages and that they leave Pekin.
AS the ministers had not sufficient guar
antee, they replied that they must receive
the permission Of their governments before
leaving the CITY,"
The Messenger then announces that the
czar's approval has been given for M. De-
Giers to start for Tien Tsin with his entire
staff and the marine guard, on condition
that the existing government at Pekin and
the emperor afford them sure guarantee
that the journey can be undertaken without
danger.
At the same time NJ. DeGiers is expected
to call attention to the heavy responsibility
the Chinese government will incur should
there be the slightest infraction of the vio-

New York, Aug. 11.-Wall Street: The
stock and bond markets have dropped
back to degree of inactivity not equaled
since the opening of 1897. The paralysis
Of speculation is plainly due to uncertain

market. The placing of over half the last
British loan in New York foreshadows
the necessity that Great Britain and Eu-
ropeans shall be under to resorting to
American capital to help finance future
loans, believed to be imminent, to meet
the cost both Of the Boer war and the
military campaign in China. The pros
pect of higher money rates in conse-
quence discourages any enbarkation up
on speculation.
