little fellow over, with the result that
the left arm, between the shoulder and
the elbow, vas broken. The fracture
was a simple n and the lad will suf-
fer only a temporary inconvenience.
The family had made all preparations
to leave on the noon train today for
a visit to Michigan and the boy was
having a last romp with his ~favorite
pet when the accident occurred. The

REV. THos. ". BRoDERICK DEAD.
Pastor of st. Peters, Hartford Ststcri
Living in New Haven.

iN Ii
Hartford, Aug. 12.-Rev Thomas W.
Broderick, for eighteen years pastor Of
st. Peters Roman Catholic church here,
died at the parochial residence at 11:45s
o'clock tonight after an illness of two
weeks from heart trouble. During his
illness Father Broderick had steadily
grown worse and death had been ex-
pected for several days. He is survived
by four brothers, Rev. ]. H. Broderick

Washington. Aug. 12.-To-night Sec
retary Adee, by direction of President
Mckinley, presented to Minister WI
for transmission to his government the
reply of the United States to the i'm
perial edict appointing Ii Hung Chang
envoy to negotiate with the powers for
a cessation of hostilities. The text of
the reply will not be made public be-
fore tomorrow but in effect 1t is re-
iteration of the demands previously
made by the United States upon China,
coupled with vigorous intimation that
no negotiations will be entered into un-
til the Chinese government shall have
complied with those demands.
This government inspired by a de-
termination to effect the rescue of the
legationers besieged in Pekin, takes
advantage in its reply to the edict to
reiterate the demands previously made
upon China. These demands We're
made by the president on July % and
subsequently We're reiterated substan-
TALLY by Acting Secretary Adee by di-
Tection of the president. The demands
for the protection of the minister, for
free communication between them and
their respective governments and for
the restoration of order in China form
the keynote of the memorandum for
warded to the imperial government by
the president to-day.
The iteration and reiteration of the
demands must, it is thought, make it
perfectly clear to the Chinese govern
ment that no negotiations will be en-
tered into until a square-toed compli-
Il, I,or Io-o CT
the demands be acceded to, there will
be no obstacle, it is believed, in the
