him false often, when he starts off to get
something and forgets what he went for,
when he kH07Os he has locked the front

WIRE
OF COnger Regarded as COnfirm.
ing Safety of Ministers

WASHINGTON, July 9O-The effect
of the days news from China was to
freshen hope that the government can
soon get in direct communication with
Minister Conger. The mass of the testi-
mony as to his being alive as late as
the 22d is such as to warrant the con-
sideration of the projects for the future
With all its anxity to get Mr. Conger
and the Americans in Pekin away the
department is proceeding with proper
caution and is by no means disposed to
accept any proposition that would un-
duly jeopardize their lives. Such might
be the result of an off-hand acceptance
to have the Chinese government de-
liver the ministers at Tien Tsin for il
is realized taht the escort might be
overpowered on it's way to the sea.
Conger himself is the best person to
judge Of the condition under which his
deliverance shall be affected, and there
fore it is again looking to the Chinese
government to place it in communica-
tion with Mr. Conger in order that it
may be advised by him.
That requirement was the first con-
dition laid down by President McKin-
icy III Ills oiASNCl W AilC dppCdl VI TIC
Chinese emperor, so that the situation
cannot be said to be materially chang
ed by the developments of the day.
The department is inclined to regard
Consul Fowler's communication as the
most valuable proof in regard to the
safety of the Pekin diplomats. Up
to late hour no answer had been re-
ceived to the second Conger message
but in view Of Consul Fowlers news,
the officials were inclined to look for
ward to an early reply.
1t is known here that Germany is one
of the governments that is putting
forth every effort to get in direct COM
munication with the beleagured minis
ters and like the United States has
had recourse to the underground)
route. An object of special solicitude
is to discover whether Baroness Won
Ketteler has escaped, or whether she
shared the fate of her husband. Up to
the present nothing has been rce'ved to
throw any light on the subject.
The German ambassador and the
French charge called at the state de-
partment today to secure the latest in
formation which Secretary Hays had
received and both were immensly
pleased at the Fowler dispatch.
General Chaffee reported today his
arrival at Taku in advance Of the eX-
pecte9 lime.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Baroi vor
Holeben. the German ambassador
called upon Secretary Hay this morn
ing. He said he had received no word
from Berlin on the receipt of the i'm
portant letter from the German lega-
tion at Pekin, discovered by Mr.. Fow-
Ter. AS Is always the case with these
Chinese advises a discrepancy appears
Immediately upon compariso nof the
German and the japanese advices. The
German report says that the attack
stopped on the 18th; the Japanese re-
port places the cessation Of the firing
on the 18th. The state department or
ficials believe that this is easily ex-
planned by a consideration of the ar
fence Of the Christian and the chinese
calendars Another curious statement
however, is contained in the japanese
report, that six legations were stu be-
ing defended on the 22d. This is in ap-
parent conflict with Mr.. Conger's last
reported statement that the ministers
We're in the British legation under con-
tinued shot and shell.
II was understood that Mr.. Conger
meant all of the ministers were in the
British legation, though this might
have been a strained Interpretation of
his message, and the various legations
mentioned in the Japanese dispatch
may still be depopuated.
The military men here are amazed
that the legations successfully resisted
nearly a months incessant shelling by
ten baltalllons Of Chinese. That any
trace of brick building should remain
after such bombardment is inconceiv-
able by them.

Means Work for 10000.

The conference committees of the
Amdlgamated Association of Iron 81
Steel Workers and of the manufac-
turers at 6. 30 o'clock on the morning
of the 23d signed the wage scale that
will be effective until July, 1901. 1t is
what is known as the yearly scale
which takes effect usually in July
Owing to the unusual fluctuations of
the market the new scale had not been
signed when the mills shut down June
30 and the conditions have been un-
favorable ever since June, so that the
mills have been idle for almost three
months. AS soon as the scale was
signed messages were sent in every di-
rection before the conferees break
tasted ordering the fires built at once.
This decision means employment to
over GO,O0 workingmen who have
been idle since June.

a shower of stones. Many of the crowd
had picked up sticks and stones and
were acting in threatening manner.
Seeing this the sheriff, who had previ-
ously cautioned his men to keep cool.
and not use their firearms, commanded
them to fire. The order was obeyed
with terrible results. The crowd pur-
sued the sheriff and his posse to the
Ferguson house, where they took re-
fuge The deputies fired over 500
shots, and the mob hurled missiles of
all kinds During the riot windows

Trouble In Manila.

There are rumors of attacks on the
railroad and of trouble in Manila. Ref
ugees are arriving there from Laguna,
Moronga and Pampanga provinces.
The natives of Manila are restless and
many are leaving the city. The hos
tile demonstrations are particularly
marked along the railroad and on the
shores of Laguna de Bay. The insur-
gents have attacked garrisons and out
posts. In some cases they have charged
towns, fleeing when pursued. Guig-
into, Polo, Malolos and Caloocan have
been subjected to this treatment. The
Manila mail escort of 30 men was at
tackled at Cabugao Lake, two hours
fight ensuing. Cabugao was also at
tackled the telegraph Office there be-
ing destroyed. The insurgents have
burned the village of Rosario. They
have been cutting telegraph wires and
railroads at certain points. Armed in
surgents have developed in the dis
tricts of san Jose, San Mateo and Mar
iquina. In the province of Nueva
Ecija wagons, with an escort of -,
were attacked and the wagons burned
Five members of the escort are still

declare that the injury to the cotton
crop will reach 10 per cent. The Trim

suicides were more frequent. Besides
the successful attempts the police
handled number of cases where the
persons failed to accomplish their pur-

No Rreak in the Ranks.

Contrary to the expectations of both
the operators and the striking coal
miners, there Were no developments in
the strike situation in the Lehigh re-
gion on the 14th. 1t was thought in
some quarters that owing to the pres
cnce of troops in the anthracite field a
break would occur in the ranks of the
strikers, or that large number of adj
ditional men would refrain from going
to work. The operators as a rule pre-
dicted break in the strikers ranks,
and the labor leaders were equally
sure they would tie up this region
tighter than ever. Both sides claim
they had made good gains. 1t seems,
however, from the most reliable reports
received from the entire region that
the strikers made net gain in point
of numbers.

The storm came without warning upon
the citizens from a southwesterly di-

The length of its path in the village
was less than half n mile, but owing
to its peculiar action the distress and
damage resulting were not as great as
they might have been. The storm
made jumps of one block, but when
ever it came down everything was
crumbled by the power of the wind.
The only people killed in the village
were those who had taken refuge in a
saloon. There were 1G people in the
building when the storm struck it and
