CHANGES FOR SUCCESSFUL
 MEDIATION ARE SLIGHT

mate of six to eight days as the time neces- sary to get a reply to the Presidents an- swer to the appeal of the Chinese govern ment. Urgent messages are being trans mitted between Pekin and Shanghai by the flying express mentioned in Consul Fow- ler's cablegram of a few days ago. This, according to the Chinziza relay system of mounted messengers similar to the old pony service across the plains, is used when the wire communication is interrupted. The re- lay riders make about 200 miles a day It is 400 miles from Shanghai to Pekin, and this seems to agree very we'll with the speed made in forwarding and returning the Conger message.
 Expecting Definite News
 Assuming from Shengs dispatch that movement was on foot on the 18th to get the foreign ministers started from Pekin to Tien Tsn under escort of imperial troops, the State Department would not be surprised to get definite news from head quarters of the allied forces in a short time.
 The distance from Tien Tsin to Pekin is about seventy-five miles, and at this sea- son the trip is usually made by road from Pekin to Tong Choo, a point on the Pei Ho river twelve miles below the capital, and the remainder of the way by boat. This trip would take four days, supposing the escort of imperial troops met with no re- sistance from the insurgents. If the move

 Much Discussed Question.

Chicago, July 24.-Colonel William J. Bryan has accepted an invitation to attend the national encampment of the Grand Army In this city next August. General John C. Black, chairman of the committee on invitation, received this formal accept ance this afternoon, settling a question over which there has been considerable controversy. Colonel Bryan in his letter to General Black says:
 When I wrote you on June 2S the con- vention had not been held, and I did not think it wise to make any promises until the convention was over and l had a chance to consult the committee in. regard to tine date of notification. 1 am in posi- tion now to accept the invita- ton, and take great pleasure in doing so, although il is still impossible for me to fix the exact day, owing to the uncertainty as to my where abouts just before and after the encamp- ment If it is necessary to know the day. l would suggest August 30, as that would come nearer harmonizing with a date which l have in contemplation.
 Thanking you again for the considera- tion shown by the colonel,
 T am very truly yours,

Washington, July 24.-The State Depart ment is again in a waiting attitude re- gardng China. The Chinese government is expected to accept or reject our terms at once, and in either case the answer must convey tidings of the state of affairs at Pekin and the welfare of the legationers. The belief is not concealed here that the chances for such successful mediation are slight.
 At least one of the greatest powers is under strong suspicion of acting coldly and without regard to sentiment or any thing more than the most material of con- alterations. It is believed here that this power is quietly taking measures to drop out of the league at Tien Tsin and conduct a campaign of it's own account against Pekin and 1t is even suspected that this power is already moving troops toward the Chinese capital.
 One fact regarded as now beyond need of further demonstration in view of the Chin csc appeal Is that the Chinese officials at the coast ports are actually in communica- ton with whatever remains of the imperial government at Pekin and the text of Kwang Hsu's appeal appears to establish the fact that the Chinese government itself is sanctiening the resistance to the inter- national advance upon Pelxin.
 The State Department and the Chinese legation substantially agree in the esti-

Washington. July A.-The following cor respondenee between the President and the Emperor of China was made public by the State Department today:
 Translation of the cablegram received by Minister Wu on July 20. 1900. from the Tao tai of Shanghai, dated July 19, 1900:
 Have received telegram from Govern or Yuan of Shan Tung, dated 23d day of this moon (July 19), ,who. having received from the privy council at Pekin dis patch embodying an imperial letter to the President of the United States, has in structed me to transmit 1t to your excel lency. The imperial message is respectful ly transmitted as follows:
 ' The Emperor of China to His Excellen-
 cy the President of the United States
 Greeting: China has long maintained and is deeply conscious that the object of the United States is international com merce. Neither country entertains the least suspicion or distrust toward the other. Re- cent outbreaks of mutual antipathy be- tween the people and Christian missions caused the foreign powers to view with suspicion the position of the imperial gov- ernment as favorable to the people and prejudicial to the missions with the result that Taku forts were attacked and cap tured. Consequently there has been clash ing of forces with calamitous consequences The situation has become more and more serious and critical. We have just received a telegraphic memorial from our envoy, Wu Ting Fang, and it is highly gratifying to us to learn that the United States gov ernment, having in view the friendly rela- uons between the two countries, has taken deep interest in the present situation
 Now, China, driven by the irresistible course of events. has unfortunately incur red well nigh universal indignation. For settling the present difficulty China places special reliance in the United States We address this message to your excellency Tn all sincerity and candidness, with the nope that your excellency will devise meas ures and take the initiative in bringing about concert of the powers for the restoration of order and peace. The favor Of kind republic is earnestly requested and awaisted with the greatest anxiety.
 (Signed) 'KWANGSU.
 'Twenty-sixth year, sixth moon (23rd day).'

Chattanooga Reporter Called a Liar Whereupon He Admin
 isters a ThraShing.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 24,-Adjutant- General w. c. Liler, who recently came here to establish and publish the official organ of the National Association of Span ish-American War Veterans, was this evening given a severe whipping on the street by reporter for a Chattanooga newspaper. The idea of holding a national reunion of Spanish-American War Veterans has been under consideration for some time, and the status of the progress was favorable to a reunion in this city some time in October. A local paper today print ed a news item to the effect that General Liler had written Commander General Rulings to the effect that Chattanooga was an unfriendly locality for the gathering, and that on Liler's representation the re- union had been abandoned. Meeting the reporter whom he charged with responsi- bility for the publication this evening, Li- Ter accosted him in violent manner, and called the reporter a liar, whereupon the latter knocked General Liler down twice and administered a severe whipping in the presence of General Liler's wife and large crowd of spectators.

President McKinley's Re ply

This cablegram was at once communi- cated to the President at Canton, Ohio, and the following is his reply
 "The President of the United States to the Emperor of China:
 "Greeting have received Your Majes- tvs message of the 18th of July, and am glad to know that Your Majesty recognizes the fact that the government and the peo- pie of the United States desire of China nothing but what is just and equitable. The purpose for which we landed troops in China was the rescue of our legation from grave danger and the protection of the lives and property of Americans who are sojourning in China in the enjoyment of rights guaranteed them by treaty and by international law. The same purposes are publicly declared by all the powers which have landed military forces in Your Ma jesty's empire.
 ''I am to infer from your majesty's let ter that the main factors who have dis turbed the peace of China, who have mur- dered the Minister of Germany and a mem Der of the Japanese legation, and who now hold besieged in Pekin those foreign di- plomats who still survive, have not only not received any favor or encouragement from your majesty but are actually in re- bellion against the imperial authority. If this be the case 1 most solemnly urge on your majesty's government to give public assurance whether the foreign ministers are alive, and if so, in what condition.
 "Second-To put the diplomatic represent atives of the powers in immediate and free communication with their respective gov ernments, and to remove all danger to their lives and liberty.
 ''Third-To place the imperial authorities of China in communication with the relief expedition, so that cooperation may be secured for the liberation of the legation CTS. the protection of foreigners and the restoration of order.
 of these objects are accomplished, it Is the belief of this government that no ob- stacles will be found to exist on the part of the powers to amicable settlement of all the questions arising out of the cent troubles, and the friendly good offices of this government will, with the assent of other powers be .cheerfully placed at your majesty's disposition for that purpose.

from Pekin was made within two days af- ter Sheng's information was received, it would be possible that the legationers and British escort are now in touch with the Headquarters of the allies, always suppos- ing that nothing serious happened to the party on the road.
 MT. Wu, the Chinese Minister, said to- night that he hoped the reply of Minister Conger at Pekin to the second message sent to him day before yesterday would be received with more expedition than the first one and would be: "Conger is in Tien Tsin."
 Some of the officials here have noticed with interest Ii Hung Changs reported statement that the approach of the allied forces In Pekin would result in the i'm mediate death of the forces, and think the real object of Lis visit to the north Is for the purpose of preventing, if possible, the advance of the relief column.

my opinion the report of their deaths has been circulated with view to overshadow in the minds of americans and Europeans comparatively minor outrages, which the world would be glad to forgive the moment it was discovered that the ministers were alive"
 While this explanation has been seriously considered by the foreign office, it was re- garded as almost too ingenious even for Chinamen.
