Admiral Kempff's Message Regarding
Whereabouts of Ministers.
WASHINGTON, June 30. - Admiral
kempff has acknowledged the error he
had made in reporting the presence Of
the foreign ministers with Admiral
Seymour's column, eight miles out from
Tien Tsin. His cablegram admits that
there is no knowledge of their where
abouts, and it is assumed the error in
the first report arose from the admiral's $
acceptance of rumor that was very
generally current at the time the cable
gram was sent.
The fact that the admiral's message
is dated at Che Foo warrants the sup.
position that telcgraphic communica.
ton has been restored between that
point and Taku, where the foreign
fleet lies. There is. however, possi-
bility that the admiral could get dis.
patch across from Taku to Che Foo on
the same date by pushing the York.
town, which has been used ut dispatch
boat.

Nantucket. Mass. Special. In men,
ory of Abiah Folger, mother of Ben
jamin Franklin, a granite fountain was
dedicated a few days ago. Thus the
long cherished wish of the local chap.
ter of the Daughters Of the American
Revolution is fulfilled through the
hearty cooperation of the Old Colony
Commission and the Daughters Of the
American Revolution in New York and
Pennsylvania. Abiah Folger was born
August u. 1861, and, according to the
records, was the only child born to
Peter Folger. or Ffoulger, as it was
spelled then, during his residence here.
Abiah Folger became acquainted with
Joseph Franklin, of Boston, and soon
became his second wife.
The fountain is of Quincy granite,
rough finished. Above the fountain
proper is granite slab four feet high,
in which is set the bronze tablet pre-.
sented by the State through the Old
Colony Commission. The inscription,
In raised Gothic letters, reads:
