GOOD REASON FOR HOPE.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Though
fearful of giving false encouragement,
the State Department officials are
bound to admit to-day that there is
reason for hope now respecting the well
fare of the legationers at Pekin. Min
lister Wu's cablegram from Sheng, taken
in connection with the report of Ad-
miral Bruce from Tien Tsin, has done
much to encourage tbs hopeful feel
ing. Mr.. WI brought his telegram to
the State Department this morning in
person, and pointed out to Secretary
Hay what he regarded as some signifi-
cant and gratifying features of his dis
patch. Such, for instance, as Sheng's
description of the Chinese who are at
lacking the legations as ''rebellious
troops and rioters and the positive
statement that the Chinese government
is opposing them. There is reason to
believe that much of the credit for
the awakening of the Chinese govern
ment to the sense of its responsibility
for the safety of the foreign ministers
is due to Minister Wu's personal eff
forts

MR.. WI BEGAN EARLY.

At least three weeks ago, when it
was realized that the ministers were
in peril, Minister WI sat about their
protection as far as lay in his power.
Unable to reach the government at
Pekin himself directly by telegraph, he
was in constant communication by
Fable not only with Sheng at Shanghai,
but with the great viceroys of the
southern provinces, including Ii Hung
Chang He cabled to these officials the
most earnest appeals for the exercise
of their good offices with the Pekin
government to secure the safety of the
1egationers. He pointed out the inev-
liable disaster to China that would
follow the destruction of these minis
tiers, and he implored the viceroys to
avail themselves of any means in their
power to insure the presentation at
Pekin of his representations. He be-
lieves that these representations have
reached the imprial government and
that they have at least contributed to
the decision of that government to
render what protection it can to the
foreign minister's

A gentleman connected with the Fire
Department said yesterday that he did
not think it was the idea Of the Rich
,nond members of the State Volunteer
Firemen's Association to give 2 carnival
In conjunction with the convention.
He thought q good scheme wou!d be to
have Capitol Square as a rendezvous, with
headquarters of visiting fremen at various
places throughout the Squire, and with
band-stands at convenient points. The
Square could be deliberately lighted
throughout at night. and concerts could
be given at stated intervals. All lemonade
and peanut stands could be kept outside
The Brond-Street arch could be lit up
with electric lights and all interesting fea-
lures in connection with the convention
could be concentrated. in close touch with
all car lines.
The idea will be discussed at the meet
ing of the committee at rs next session.

AMUSEM ENTS.

Manager Walls, ever On the alert to Sc
cure ths best attractions possible. and
whose untiring efforts have been SO sue
cessful this season. has booked Simmons
and Slocum's New Minstrels, to appear at
the Casino this week, and has also engaged
two hfgh-iass vaudeville acts to be present
ed in connection with the minstrel comb
nation.
Simmons and Slocun's organization is
unQuestionably the strongest OF the kind
making the circuit Of the best summer
stands this season. Mr.. Wells will not
countenanca weak attraction hence he
carefully looked into the makeup Of the
show before signing contracts. The COM
pany is composed Of clever comedians,
good singers. and splendid dancers. The
comedians, Billy Ward Joe Fox, Clark
Gibbs, ST., and Clark Gibbs. Jr.. are a
quartette of fun furnishers who promise
a lot Of new jokes and comic songs. Se.ec-
tons will be rendered by the vocal corps,
John II. Rapp. Winfield Bender, Charles
O. Marsh and George Winfelder. The olio
is made UP Of acts that are declared to be
as good as the best. Joseph A. Kelly, the
comedy musical artist, is & great enter
tainer He makes music from unique in
struments, and, as he is a good comedian,
makes things merry while he Is On. The
Gtbbes, father and son in comedy SKETCH
promise something new and c-ever. They
are good dancers, and will make good. y
The Brilliant Comedy Quartette is in the
front rank of such acts. They go with a
big minstrel show in regular season.

HON. J. E. EPPS TALKS.

Says he is Surprised that Guard Should
Want TO Take Negroes in White Car
Hon. John E. Epps in discussing the
recent Jim Crow" car episode said yes
terday:
While the law plainly exernpts guards
In charge of prisoners, yet l confess some
surprise that the superintendent of the
penitent.n1y would permit one of his
guards to take negro prisoners into a
car crowded with white passengers, when
there was ample room IN the car provided
for coIored passengers. thus flying in the
face OF public sentiment. as we'll as the
spirit of the act. which is to separate the
two races
'If the white gunrd in his official capa-
city" continued Mr.. Epps. declines to
ride in the J:nl-Crow car, then colored
men should be sent to bring negro pris-
oners to the penitentiary.
If there is any danger OF mob violence
to q prisoner, OF course there would be
valid excuse for taking him wherever he
would be best protected. but in the recent
case there was none, and I again say
am surprised
