HOPE OF PEACE NOW
cHINA SEEKS AN IMMEDIATE END
or THE FIGHTING.

IL Is Inferred What Terms lie Makes WIN
Satisfy Imperial Government There Is
No Disposition Evident In Washington
TO Abate the Demands Made for Cessa-
tion of HostilItIes.

Washington (Special). - Hope of
peace in China is dawning at last
Minister WI Ting Fang presented Ia
the State Department an cdict from
Emperor Kuang Hsu appointing IL
Hung Chang Envoy Plenipotentiarv
to propose IAN immediate cessation OF
hostile demonstrations" There had
been reports of this from Shanghai
but Minister Wu's presentation of the
edict puts It in official form.
The ediCt says that Ii Is authorized
to conduct negotiations In behalf of
the Emperor for the settlement of
whatever questions may have to be
dealt with. The result of the nego-
tiations Is to be reported to the EN-
peror for his sanction. 1t Is believed
here that this indicates a decided will
llngness by China to make concessions.
and that the allied armies may not
enter Pekin. When they reach the
east gate of Pekin. IL is hoped, the
Chinese Government will be willing to
deliver the Ministers and other foreign
crs to them, and LII can then negotiate
a basis of peace.
Acting Secretary Of State Adee re-
piled to the edict promptly. He reiter-
the United States for cooperation be-
tween the Chinese Government and
the allied forces, and intlmates that
negotiations cannot be entered into
until the Chinese Government complies
with those demands. AS China is ex-
pected to comply soon, this obstacle is
in a fair way of being removed.
One or more breaks may occur in
this program. The Russian Govern
ment, it is announced from st. Peters
burg, has authorized M. De Giers, its
Minister, to leave Pekin under Chinese
escort, as proposed by the Chinese
Government. 1t is considered likely
that he has already left Pekin. Then,
too there is the German punitive ex-
peditlon, which Emperor William has
announced will exact reparation for
the murder OF Baron Won Ketteler.
Field Marshall Count Won Waldersee,
when he arrives in China, may find
nothing but this expedition to COM
mand.
A cablegram from Minister Conger,
dated August A. and addressed TO Cen
eral Chaffee, was received. He says:
I'VE will hold on until your arrival;
hope it will be soon"

SWEPT BY STORM.
Tornado, Accompanied by Hall and Rnin
Passes Through Farming Section.

Passes Through Farming Section.
Grand Forks, N. d. Especially A
tornado, accompanied by a terrific hail
and rainstorm, started near Thompson,
~ D.. at seven o'clock and swept to
the northwest through rich farming
country and many thriving settlements
across into Minnesota, where it spent
its fury in the Red Lake Indian reser-
vation.
A strip of country varying from
eight to ten miles in width and a hum
dred miles in length was torn by the
furious winds. Houses were partially
wrecked and hundreds of barns were
torn to pieces. The remainder of the
wheat and oat crops, which were about
half harvested, was pounded into the
ground by the hail.
Fortunately no persons were killed
outright although many received in
juries which will undoubtedly result
in death. No estimate of the financial
loss is possible.
Originating at Thompson, N. D.,
where every store front was demol-
ished by the wind, the storm swept out
into the country, killing hundreds of
cattle and destroying every barn in its
path. Henry Covenick, farmer, was
driving home when overtaken by the
storm. The hailstones beat him into
unconsciousness and lashed his team
until the blood ran. They dashed mad
ly homeward, where Covenick was re-
moved from the wagon and is still
unconscious.
Much damage was done at Mayville,
but no one was injured.
Hatton, forty miles southwest of
Grand Forks, was directly in the path
of the storm. Every building in the
place was damaged, and all unharvest-
ed crops were destroyed. Trees were
stripped of their leaves, and hundreds
of cattle in pasture were beaten by the
hail until they were exhausted.
Passing into Minnesota, the town of
st. Hilaire suffered considerably. The
storm, however, was rapidly losing its
force, and, after destroying a few
barns, 1t passed into the Red Lake
Indian reservation and subsided.
In Grand Forks the storm was limit
ed to heavy rain, but the sun was
completely obscured by the main
storm, which passed on the south, and
lights were kept burning until long
past the noon hour.

NO WELCOME FOR HIM.
italian at the White House with IA Pro-
ieCiIle MS q Preaent.

Washington (SpeciaD.-An Italian,
VINO gave his name as Professor
Figuccia of Felucca, Italy, caused some
excitement at the White House by eX-
hlbitlng brass projectile which he
wished to present to the President. He
arrived during the forenoon accom-
panied by a negro who bore large
satchel. When stopped at the front
door by Usher Mitchell he presented a
slip of paper bearing this inscriptions
Professor Figuccla presents chis pro-
jectile to the President of the United
States" He took out of the satche a
very heavy brass projectile and long
wire and explained that the pushing
of the wire through hole which had
been bored in the end of the pro-
jectile's nose would cause a big explo-
sion. The visitor could speak no Eng
lish and made known his mission by
signs. After some questioning it was
concluded the Italian was an inventor
seeking official recognition of his de-
vice, and he was directed to the Italian
Embassy. Later the Secret Service
was notified.

KILLED ny INTENSE HEAT.
Eleven Die in New York and Nine in
Chicago.

New York Especially Eleven per-
sons died here from the excessive heat,
which has been torturng humanity in
this locality for some days and still
continues with little prospect of a
let-up. The greatest suffering is en-
dured 10y the people of the lower East
side districts, which are so thickly
populated. In these neighborhoods
numerous families occupy a single
apartment, and many of them sleep on
the pavements in front of the buildings
IN the hope of obtaining a little fresh
air. The fire department opened a
number of the plugs and flushed the
streets in the hope of reducing the
temperature. This gave a temporary
relief. The infant mortality is very
great.
Horses are perishing all over the city
and mortality among them threatens
to equal that of the record-breaking
August hot spell of 1896, when so many
died that business was seriously Grip
pied.
Philadelphia (SpeciaD The intense
heat here resulted in five deaths and
twenty prostrations.

reached at o'clock, when the Govern

The minimum was so degrees, at $40
o'clock. At o'clock the mercury had

jumped to 80. At noon three Hddi-
tional degrees were noted and at 2
O'Clock 96 degrees were registered. The
mean temperature was SS. 12 above
normal. The average for the past four
days was higher than any other similar
period on record.
Chicago (SpeciaD Nine deaths and
fifteen prostrations resulted from the
excessive heat here. The tcmpera-
ture was above 80 the greater part Of
the day, and for one hour during the
afternoon touched 95 degrees.
Pittsburg (SpeciaD Instead of go
ing lower, the thermometer jumped up
a point, reaching 81 on the Government
instrument. Five deaths and six pros
trations are directly attributable to the
hot weather.
