New York.-Five persons were saved
from injury or death recently by Miss
Ada Mayo Railey, daughter of Col.
Charles l.. Railey, a well-known horse
man OF Lexington, Ky. a. H. Calef of
New York, secretary and treasurer OF
the Missouri Pacific Railroad company,
with Mrs. Calef, and their guests, Miss
Alice Neale and Mrs. Winston Barrett of
Chicago, and Miss Railey, had driven in an
open bus from Mr.. Calef's cottage at
Sea Bright to Pleasure bay, and were re-
turning when, after having gone some
distance, they discovered that the coach
man was not on the box and that the
horses, a pair of powerful animals, were
running away.
MIR. Calef jumped in an effort to gain
the horses heads, but was thrown on the
ground and the team dashed on, every
moment gaining speed. Miss Railey, who
is known throughout kentucky as i
horsewoman of remarkable skill, climbed
through a window scarcely large enough
to admit her slender body sidewise, man
aged to get hold of one line, and threw
one of the horses, bringing the vehicle to
sudden stop on the edge of a ditch near
the approach to the bridge across the bay.
The frightened occupants climbed out, and
with the assistance of a passerby untan-
gled the animals from the broken har-
ness. No one was injured except Mr..
Calef, who was severely bruised by his
fall.

Chinese ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
THE POWERS ARE SLOW TO ACT.
Russia's Proposal still Unanswered
Delay Seems to he Beneficial
Chinese Government Can Then Or
Ennize with Some Authority.

Washington, Sept Cur government
has not yet been informed that any further
responses have been made by the powers to
the Russian note respecting the withdraw
al of troops from Pekin. Therefore the ne
gotiations on this point can not be said
to have been marked by any formal adj
ancement, though it is known that unofti-
cial exchanges are in progress, which
doubtless are preparing the way for for
NAL agreement between the porwers in the
near future.
Acting through Ii Hung Chang, the Chi
nese imperial government is making siren
uous efforts to secure favorable considera-
ton for its peace overtures While our
government has not yet received Il copy of
the imperial edict referred to in the Shang-
hal dispatches naming Earl Lii and several
other Chinese notables as plenpotentiaries
to negotiate for a settlement with the pow
ers, tho state department. is advised
through its agents of the issuance of such
all edict. This, it is expected, will be com.
inundated to the department when MIR
WI, the Chinese minister, returns to
Washington.
1t is ascertained that neither Mr.. Rock
hill, Mr. Conger, nor General Chatfee has
been clothed with any special powers to
meet these or any other Chinese ENJOYS.
1t is stated that Mr.. Rockhill is in China
| simply to observe and report upon condi-
| tions-he had no ministerial powers up to
! the present. General Chaflees functions
are purely military, so it is said, and while
of course he would be fully empowered to
grant a truce, he is not Empowered to
conduct negotiations for final settlement
between the United States and China.
Minister Conger has only his general
! powers as a minister resident. Broadly
construed these would serve to warrant
him in receiving and transmitting any
propositions from the Chinese authorities,
but he could scarcely go further than this.
| The conclusion is that no United States
official i'll China, civil or military. can at
present conduct negotiations for final set
! Element with the Chinese government and
! special powers must be conveyed by the
state department, probably to one of the
| three persons named, when it comes to the
| final reckoning.
| There is no disposition here to complain
of dilatorness on the part of the powers
in disposing of the Russian suggest on re-
| speeding withdrawal. 1t is felt that any
| delay which ensues in the execution of
| the Russian threat to withdraw actually
makes for peace, for each days develop
ments point to the restoration to author
ity in Pekin of some ghost of a govern
ment which may become tangible enough
to deal with the powers.
There is no word received from Minister
Conger or from General Chafiec.
The Oregon is now lying off GutzIaT
| island just outside of the mouth of the
Iangtse kiang. She is waiting for
| favorable tide to cross the bar and pro-
coed to Woo Sung, just below Shanghai,
where she is to do guard duty for while.

To Negotiate for Peace.

London, Sept. 5.-The absence of news
regarding the actual situation of affairs
at Pekin continues as complete as the
lack of authentic information regarding
the ultimate attitude of the powers
toward the proposals now before the con-
cert.
Shanghai reports that an imperial edict
issued at Tain Yuan Flu appoints Ii Hung
Chang, Yung Lu, Hsu Tung tutor of the
heir apparently, and Prince Ching COM
missoners to negotiate peace.
-Four German warships arrived at Woo
Sung September 3. The unmistakable con-
demnation of the proposal to Immediately
Withdraw from Pekin, which is voiced
from all the foreign colonies in the far
east, is taken in some quarters as a fore
cast of the opinion which may be expected
from the ministers when their views are
obtainable. As already suggested, the
Russian proposals are capable of modifi-
cation, and it is thought in well informed
circles that Lord Salisbury is striving to
conform them more closely to the terms
first formulated by the government at
Washington.
According to a special dispatch from
st. Petersburg, dealing with the question
of Manchuria, the Russian officials repudi-
ate any intention to permanently occupy
or annex Manchuria. The dispatch adds
that Russia will claim no territorial con-
SESSIONS, provided the other powers re-
frain from so doing, and expresses the
hope that the question of indemnities can
be settled by the cooperation of the allied
powers.

COnger Heard From.

Washington, Sept 5.-Minister Conger
has been heard from again, his last adj
vice being dated at Pekin on August 30.
Preceding dispatches have occupied a
week i'll their transmission from Pelin,
according to the estimate of the state
department, so that Mr.. Congers message
marks distinct betterment of the means
of communication. Besides, it includes
the date of dispatch, something the de-
partment has been trying to have done
for many weeks. The suppOsition is that
this particular message came down from
Pekin to Tientsin by courier and was put
on the wires either at that point or at
Taku. The state department decided to
make no statement as to the contents Of
the message beyond the simple one that
Mr. Conger's communication did not mark
any material change in the situation in
Pekin.

Indians in Dire Want.

Famine and suffering among the h. dians on the SacatOn reservation grows greater and unless steps are taken at once for the relief of the 5000 Pimas and Papagos on that reservation. wide- spread death is certain this winter. Reports to date from authOritive sources states that 5000 Indians al- ready are destitute and in dire want. The government is surveying for the fluning of irrigation water to he tapped from the uDderfow of the Gila river, but it cannot be hoped that a supply can be obtained before sum mer.
 Short rations of meat and flour are being doled out by the agency, but not nearly enough is available for perman- ent good. Many Indians have left the reservation and many more, particu- larly Papagoes, are leaving continually and going into the mountains.
 John Owen. an educated Pima and lately in government employ, says many of his people already are starv- ing and are subsisting on the charity of the few who have supplies. Major s. M. McGowan, superintendent of the Indian school at Phoenix, is making an effort to secure aid from the govern ment.
