COMMUNICATION WITH PEkIN
NOW PRACTICALLY REOPENED

made by the emperor OF China to
France has not been made known here,
It is believed that the address to the
president is similar in terms to that
communication. In our case the COM
munication was made through Minis
ter Wa to the state department Thus
far a final answer has not been re-
turned. The French government an
swered at once, but that answer viii
not serve us. The United States gov
eminent is conscientiously proceed
ing upon an entirely different line of
policy in the treatment OF the case.
Unfortunately. the state department
finds itself alone in this, but never
theless it is convinced that its plan
IS the best, and it has behind it the
consoling assurance that at present all
of the European governments have
tacitly admitted that an error was
made in the beginning in not follow
ing the common sense advice of the
United States naval commander at
TalIu. The point of difference between
the state department and the European
governments is that the latter are pro-
ceeding upon the belief that all Of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards at Pel1in have been killed. and
insist upon dealing with the Chinese
government upon that basis thereby
assuming a hostile attitude that tends
to destroy the last chance of availing
OF whatever friendly sentiment may
yet exist among the powerful Chinese
viceroys and the imperial government
itself. Thus the Rrench reply sets an
impossible task for the imperial gov
ernment in its present straits, and
tends to drive it at once to make terms
with the Boxers and Prince Tuan's
party.
On the other hand our government.
while not guaranteeing the truth of
the advices from the Chinese govern
ment as to the safety of the foreign
ministers, is willing to accept the
statements temporarily, in the mean
time remitting none of its efforts to
get access TO Mr. Conger through the
use of military force if need be. By
following out this policy the state
department argues that it retains two
chances instead of one. Ii may reach
Mr.. Conger with troops and it also may
secure his deliverance through the
friendly Offices of some of the powerful
Chinese officials, which the powers are
not likely to obtain for their own peo-
pie by following out their present
policy. 1t may be stated also that the
United States government has not and
does not intend to relinquish any part
of its claim for compensation and
reparation in the ultimate settlement.
It's position in this respect. it holds.
will not be affected unfavorably by
prosecuting its efforts to make use
Of the friendly sentiments of the Chi
nese officials.
With the exception of the brief dis
patch from Admiral Kempm announc-
ing that the Newark was going to
Nagasaki. there was nothing received
in Washington yesterday regarding
China. Several replies have been re-
ceived at the state department in
response to the secretary's dispatch to
foreign governments urging co-opera-
tion, but they are withheld from pub
licatiOn at present

He Was Chased by Mrs. Nellie Good
ing with a IIatchet Other
City Court Cases

One Of the most peculiar cases that
have been heard for some time came up
before Judge Ball in City Court this
morning, when Rhine X. Horning was
arraigned on a charge OF disorderly
conduct. Horning. who is an assistant
foreman painter at the Pullman Palace
Car Company, resides at No. zoos
Spruce street. The complainant was
Mrs. Nellie GOOding, of No. 1904 Spruce
street, who was the only witness for
the prosecution. She testified that on
Friday last Horning. while in his own
yard, used language to her which was
unbecoming She was standing in her
back yard, and said that she picked up
a hatchet and started after Horning.
She chased him into his house. where
upon he fed out the front door Horn
ing, she testified. had not sworn at her.
MORNINGS TESTIMONY.
William T. Lyman represented the
defendant, whom he called 20 the
stand In his own behalf Horning
said that on Friday he had gone home
from work at noon and eaten his din
ner He saw his wife go down the
yard and heard her call to Mrs. Good
ing. who was in her yard. that she
wanted to see her in a few minutes. He
thereupon told his wife that she must
cease her acquaintancship with "that
woman or either he or she would
have to leave the house.
He was standing in his back door
way at the time, and Mrs. Gooding
evidently heard his remark. AT any
rate, she called him and accused him Of
going with negroes. and he retorted by
reminding her of certain requests she
had made of him. Mrs. Gooding then
picked up a Ratchet. saying. You --
- -, I'll kill you. and started af-
ter him.
Horning ran through his house. fol-
lowed by the irate woman. and fed out
the front door and down the street.
Mrs. GoOding pursued him into his
house but not finding him returned TO
her home. Several witnesses corrObor-
ated his statement regarding the
hatchet incident Mr. Lyman asked fer
the dismissal Of his client. but judge
Ball said that there was undoubtedly
enough disorder to attract the atten-
/ ton of neighbors,

ROOSEVELT 4 SICK NAN.
Makes Pathetic Appeal TO National
Committee For Relief.

New York, Nov. 3.-Governor
Roosevelt is on the verge of a
physical collapse. His condition is
so serious, il is said. that many
meetings will be cut off to ease up
the strain upon him and in defer
ence to his almost pathetic appeals
to relieve him.
AS a consequence he will not he
in Brooklyn after all. the local
reason given for this disappoint-
ment being that halls cannot be
hired, but the real reason is that
the state leaders are worried that
he may break down at any time.
An intimate friend of the gov
ernor and one of the leaders in the
campaign said today:
AN earnest effort was made tC
have Brooklyn share in the gov
ernor's speaking tour, and 1T was
intended that he should practically
bring his campaigning to an end in
Long Island, his home. by a series
of meetings. Recently, however
kilograms have come from the gov
ernor begging the management to
cut out some of his work in order
to give him rest. This is so un-
usual for him that it worried us.
1.-The truth is that Roosevelt is
a sick man. The terrible strain
he has been under has affected his
health, and even his sturdy frame
could not stand another week OF It,
A run through Brooklyn might re-
suit most seriously, and he simply
will not be permitted to do more
than review the parade in Manhat
tan. Then he will go to Oyster
Bay, his home, and rest"
