NEW YORK, July "a dispatch to
the Herald from Canton says:
The following copy Of the viceroy's
joint memorial, which is being signed
for presentation to the dowager en-
press. was obtained from Ii Hung
Chang, previous TO his departure for
Pekin:
Henceforth all nations will see that
our government had no intention lightly
to engage in hostilities and only did so
when it was tound unavoidable. Their
anger and resentment will, as a matter
Of course. be at once appeased after
having respectfully considered the sent
iment indicated in a decree.
I'VE have decided to ask that these
may be enlarged on in five ways. We
would ask:
"First-That a decree be issued order
ing that Tartar generals and viceroys
and governors continue the usual
system Of affording protection to for
eign merchants and missionaries, so as
to show that. although hostilities are
in progress. non-combatants are still
under the governments protection, and
to display more clearly the heaven
like mercy Of the sacred throne.
"SecOnd-The lightness or severity Of
the means Of the foreign powers will
depend solely upon the fate Of their
ministers. We hear that the rebels dis
obey the edicts and continue the at
tack on the legations. Foreign papers
state with reference to the assassina-
tion Of the German minister that the
German emperor has made his troops
swear revenge. All ministers abroad
have telegraphed and all the tele-
grams from foreign sources state. as
do also the consuls- general in Shang-
hal. that the one thing Of paramount
Importance Is the safety Of foreign
ministers. If China can only save them
there will be room for discussion Of
all matters. and other nations win be
able to make terms Of peace for us.
''Third-We would also beg that
clearly worded decree be issued ex-
pressing the deepest and most sincere
regret on the part Of the Chinese gov
ernment for the assassination Of the
German minister. and that letter In

NEW YORK. July 20-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says:
During the course Of an interview,
Sir Charles Dixie. the former liberal
cabinet minister and the statesman
who is universally regarded as being
the principal authority in England on
foreign affairs. said that he regarded
the latest news from China as ex-
tremely grave.
Up TO the invasion OF Russian ter
ritory by the Chinese troops there was
nothing to lead US to suppose that
there was a directing and controlling
government at Pekin. The invasion Of
the Russian Amur province is a visible
sign that there is responsible govern
ment still in power II China was. as
We have believed until now, in civil
war, neither Of the contending parties
would have time or opportunity TO car
- their hostile operations into a for
eign country. The Chinese attack upon
Russia has all the appearance OF being
an act Of the imperial government at
Peldn. and the only Interpretation to be
placed upon this move is that the re-
sponsible Chinese government at Pc
kin has proclaimed war upon Russia
and upon the powers.
In This connection 7 Ynust confess that
l am much impressed by the fact that
Ii Hung Chang should nave felt it in
cumbent upon him to comply with the
instructions to proceed to Pekin. which
have reached him from the imperial
government there. 1t is extremely
significant that this constitutes another
proof that there is responsible gov
ernment in control at Pekin.

NEW YORK, July e0--A dispatch to

It is reported that after the allied ar
mics recaptured the native city Of Tien

to the town.
The Chinese before they fed killed all
their own wounded. It Is reported. TO
prevent their falling into the foreign
ers' hands. Native Chinese here state
that there are in and around Pskin at
least 100000 Chinese troops, and that
the Boxers are armed with the best
and most modern weapons. From all
sources come the same tidlngs. that the
Boxers have enormous supplies Of
modern arms and ammunition.
Boxer leaders had organized plans for
massacreing foreigners in all the treaty
ports as well as in the interior. and a
heavy reward was promised for each
white head brought in. Rich loot was
promised to all.

ais on the opportunity the troops will
have OF seizing women. The story re-

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-03-11

The New York Chamber of Com
merce has pas sed resolutions deEounc
ing Mckinley for his change OF front
on the Puerto Rica question. The
resolutions are corched in the identi-
cal language used by Mckinley in his
message in December urging tree
trade for the islands.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that Mckinley, who is row openly
for the geld standard, used to de-
nounce it in scathing terms when he
was member of Congress. He has
also been a great advocate of the
rights Of labor and it is now shown
that he authorized the proclamation
of martial law in Idaho and this was
what sent miners to the bull pen who
would not work for scab wages.

Viewed from this standpoint all his
utterauces reduce themselves to the
merest twaddle. Yet the Republican
organs work day and night irving to
find some utterance of Bryan S which
they can twist around SO as o make
it appear in contradiction TO some
thing said years ago.

M'KINLEYS PLATITUDES

Whenever Mckinley gets chance
to talk in public he treats his hearers
to a succession of smooth, oily phras-
es which sound we'll and read we'll
but when critically analysed prove to
be nothing but mere words.
He appears to say almost anythin g
that comes to his tongue and pre-
sumes upon the ignorance Of his aud
fence for their approval or labors un-
der the idea that their partisan euthu-
siasm will cause them to swallow
anything he says.
He has made warm speeches for sill
yer and now labors in and out Of sea-
son for gold.
He recommended free trade for
Puerto Rice and then urged Congress
to slap ON a rs per cent taliff. Listen
to this, for instance, utt red at the
Ohio banquet, March sd:
The liberators will never become
the oppresso1s. A self governed
people will never permit despotisn

ter and defend

to the chair of English literature at De
PAW. He was transferred later to the
chair of history and political philosophy.
In 1875 he published his first book, an
Academic History of the United States"
1t was an immediate success. 1t still
holds its place as a textbook in many
schools.
In 1876 he published his Popular His
tory of the United States" a large oc-
tavo volume, of which more than 10000
copies have been sold. 1t has been pub
lished also in German. He wrote the

pedia of Universal History" was publish
ed in 1885 in four octave volumes.
In 1885 he resigned his professorship

vote his whole time to writing. In 1898

home district in Indiana. Though he ran
ahead of his ticket he was defeated by a
small majority. In recent years he had
been engaged in the preparation of a
complete and elaborate history of the
United States.

New York, Aug. Tommy Sullivan,
a little Brooklynite featherweight, fur
nished n big surprise at the Coney Is
land Sporting club last night by fighting
George Dixon to a standstil in six
rounds. Dixon was in a bad way. His
body was sore, and his left arm w;fs
practically useless. Rather than see the
former great little colored fighter knock
ed out Tom O'Rourke refused to allow
Dixon to come out for the seventh round.
Then Johnny White, the referee, amid
cheers and blowing of horns, declared
Sullivan the winner. Dixon was in poor
physical condition, and his Judgment of
distance was bad. He was long way
from being in fighting form. Had the
tight continued Dixon would undoubted-
~ have been knocked out.
