CHINA APPEALS To FRANCE
AND AMERICA FOR HELP

Washington. July 22.-t'resident Me
Kinley received what pul'ports TO be n
direct appeal from the Chinese imper-
ial government to use his good offices
to eXtricate that government from the
position in which it has been placed
us n result of the Boxer uprising. AL
though the exact text of the appeal
made by the Emperor of China TO
France, as outlined in the cable dis
patches of yesterday has not been
known here. 1t is believed that the dis
patch to the President is similar in
terms. In that case, the conmunica
ton was made through Minister WI
TO the State Department. Thus far n
final answer has not been returned.
The French government answered at
once, but that answer will not serve
us. The United States government is
proceeding upon an entirely new line
of policy in the treatment of the case.
Unfortunately the State Department
finds itself alone in this. but neverthe-
less it is convinced its plan is the best,
and it has behind it the consoHng as
surance that at present all of the Eu-
ropean governments have tacitly ad-
mitted that an error was made in the
beginning in not following the com
mon 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 on the belief that all of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards at Pekin have been killed and
insist in dealing with the Chinese gov
ernmcnt on that basis. by assuming
n hostile attitude that tends to destroy
the last chance of availing of whatever
friendly sentiment may yet exist
among the powerful Chinese viccroys
and the imperial government itself.
Thus the French reply. rs indicated in
the four conditions laid down by NJ
Delacasse yesterday. sets an impossible
task for the imperial government in its
present straits and tends TO drive ii mt
once to make terms with the Boxers
and Prince Tuan's party.
On the other hand our government,

RUSSIA Preparing to rirht china.

Berlin, July 23.-Ail reports agree
that the Russian government now con
siderS that Russia is actually at war
with China: that the shilly- shnlly pol
icy hitherto maintained will be
dropped; that Russia is now hurriedly
preparing for Il serious campaign in
North China, separate from the other
powers. and that Russia will not be
able, or willing. under these altered cir
cumstances, to bear an adequate share
in the Tien Tsin-Pekin campaign.
The RUSSIAN forces available along
the border and throughout North China
are said to comprise twenty-siN bat
talions of the line. twenty-seven bat
talions of reserves. seventeen regiments
and seventeen field batteries, making
Il total of about 5000 men.

POLICY REGARDING CHINA.
Our Government Wants to Settle Present
Troubles First.


Washington, July 2O.-As Il result of
the Cabinet meeting held Tuesday and
Thursday. the policy of the United
States concerning the great world crisis
in China, it is said. is fully and def
nitely decided upon. The substance
of this policy is:
First-The United States will in no
circumstance join in the partition Of
China among the powers.
Second-The United States will use
all its influence to the utmost extent,
short of war with European nations, to
prevent the dismembermcnt of the Chi
nese empire.
Thrd-The United States proposes to
have voice in the settlement of the
Chinese trouble and its voice will ever
be raised against spoliation and in IA
vor of preservation of China's terrific
rial and governmental entity along the
lines set forth in Secretary Hays note
to the powers, dated July 3rd.
Fourth-The United States will not
declare war upon China on the present
showing of facts, no matter what 9th
er powers may do.
Fifth-The United States, acting in
dependently. and for itself, will coop
crate with the other powers in restor
ing order in China, Furnishing all OIL
cials. high or low, found guilty of
crimes against human life, and in set
ting up stable government that may
give guarantees of security of life and
property and freedom of trade.

New Invention In T,l,rr,nhy

new invention IN Topography.
Chicago, July 23.-Thc Times Herald
says:
Tclegraphy by the use of typewriters
in place of the ordinary clicking keys
and receivers, familiar in telegraph of
fees, has been made possible by two
Chicago men, ZalmoI G. Sholes and
Alfred c. Gilmore
They have devised II mechanism by
which n message written with ordinary
spelling on machine that has IL key
board exactly like the keyboard of the
ordinary typewriter, will be printed il
transmitted over Il telegraph wire by
another typewriter in the Office to
which 1t is sent, hundreds of miles
away.
The instruments have been tested
over n circuit of 665 miles of wire. be-
longing to the Central Union Telephone
Company. connecting Bloomington
Springfield and Pueblo.
The feature of the invention is that
while it receives and delivers messages
in the ordinary alphabet spelling, it
transmits them by the use of the Morse
telesraphic alphabet of dots and
dashes. The transmitter turns each
letter figure or punctuation point into
dots and dashes ana the receiver
which contains an instrument called Il
''selector" turns the dots and dashes
back Into the ordinary signs.

PARIS EXPOSITION TICKETS.

They Are Down to Four Cents Apiece
Paris. July 23.-rhe weather had n
very unfavorable influence on the at
tendance ut the exposition. Parisians
kept away entirely. The big drop in
the number of visitors brought about
an instantaneous slump in the price of
tickets which sold ut 80 ccntmes when
the show opened. They gradually
dropped to 43 ccntimes, nj which price
they have been standing for the past
few weeks. Yet. however. the hawk
ers had difficulty in securing buyers at
- centmes, and some sold tickets at
20 centimes. equal to ! cents in Amer
lean money.
This slump is II serious matter for the
Paris banks. which. on the opening of
the exposition, took over II large proper
ton of the 65.OOO,O0O tickets issued ut
80 centimeS. half their issue price. The
exhibition reaches the halfway post on
Thursday next and thus far only 10
000.OOO tickets have been disposed of
There remain, therefore. oOOOo,OOO tick
cts. Allowing for the natural increase
in the consumption during the holiday
months. it is still calculated that the
banks will have at least 15.O0o,o0o tick
cts left on their hands. This explains
the fall in the price OF tickets, which
eventually will probably be obtainablc
at cents each.

Mohnmmedans in Murdcrous Mood.

Peoria, ILL.,, July 20.-George Shl-
moon, II Persian student who has been
attending college in Illinois for several
years, to-day received a cablegram
from his home mt Oroomiah, Persia.
stating that his brother had been muir
dered by Mohnmlnedans, and that n
general massacre of the 5000 Chris
tians in Oroomiah was expected. The
cablegram states that the feeling of
the Mohammcdans against the native
Christians is growing, and that there
have been several hand-to- hand battles
with fatalities on both sides. Mr.. Shi-
moons father is a native missionary.
and this fact adds to the wrath against
him and his family.

Paris July 23.-At the council of min
listers Saturday the minister of foreign
affairs read Il telegram from the En-
peror of China asking the mediation OF
France with the foreign powers. The
telegram was signed by kwang Su.
and not by Pub Chan. the son of Prince
Tuan. The reply given by Nj. Dclacassc
was that the request would be consid-
cred only upon absolute knowledge
that the following acts had been nc-
compliShed:
First-That efiicacious protection and
absolute freedom of communication
had been assured between the French
minister at Pekin and his colleagues of
the diplomatic corps and their respcc.
tive governments.
Second-When Prince Tuan and the
high functionarics responsible for the
actual events had been dismissed by
the government TO await inevitable
punishment.
Third-When the authorities and bod
les of troops throughout the entire EN-
pire shall have received an order 10
cease hostilities against foreigners.
Fourth-When measures have been
taken for the rigorous repression of the
Boxers.
SO long as these necessary guarantees
are NOT furnished. there is room only
for military action.
The edct which. as stated above, is
dated Pekin. July is. was transmitted
by the viceroy ut Nankin under date of
to-day. and is rs follows:
For Il month past. with the excep-
tion of the German minister, who was
massacred by rebels who are under APP
prehension of severe punishment, VT
have ordered all foreign ministers well
protected by the court and, happily,
they are safe and sound"

A SERIOUS BLOW
GIVEN TO LABOR

New York. July 19.-The judgment
of the lower court has been reversed
by the appellate division of the Su-
preme court in the case of the National
Protective Association of Steam Fit
ters and Helpers and Charles McQueed
against the Enterprise Association and
its officers, impleaded with William j.
O'Brien as president of the Board of
Delegates.
Judge TruaX gave judgment perpet-
ually enjoininG the defendants from in
terfering with the work. business or
employment of the plaintiff associa-
tion or any of its members. The in
junction forbade the coercing or Ap-
taining of a discharge by any empNy-
er, of McQueed or other members, by
commands, threats, strikes or other
wise. Judge Mclaughlin writes the
opinion of the appellate division. Re-
viewing the evidence, which shows
that the defendants struck or threat
ened TO strike in three cases, but did
not use force or commit any breach of
peace he says:
1T cannot be seriously questioned
but that every workman has right, in
the first instance, to say for whom and
with whom he will work. This right
is guaranteed to every person of legal
age and who is competent to contract,
under our laws. An employer has alb
solute right TO say whom he will en-
ploy. and employc has Il right to say
by whom he will be employed and with
whom he will work. The right is recip-
rocal and once that right is destroyed,
personal liberty is destroyed. One does
not lose this right when acting with
others, so that employers may COM
bine and say they will not employ per-
sons who are'membcrs of labor organ
iHntions. and laborcrs may combine
and say they will not work for en-
rloyers who engage any but members
of labor organizations"

General Smythe and other members of
