FROM PEKlN PRISONERS.
French Minister Writes Home on
August 8.

Paris, August 15.-The French foreign
Office has received the following dispatch
from the minister of France at Pekin, NJ
Pichon, dated August 8.
1--WE have been advised that Ii Hung
Chang is charged to negotiate telegraph
ically with the powers. We are ignorant
of the events occurring outside the lega-
tion. It is surrounded by hostile defenses
How could we negotiate without the diplo-
matte corps regaining Its rights and the
legation grounds being evacuated? II the
negotiations prevent the march of the
allied troops, which is our only salvation,
we risk falling into Chinese hands. The
section wherein lies the French legation
is occupied by imperial troops, who have
not entirely ceased to fire. We are re-
duced to siege rations.. We have provisions.
horses, rice and bread for Is days.
The following dispatch has been received
from the French consul at Canton:
"Ail is quiet here. In the district OF
Swatow, the Indignation against the Chris
tians and missionaries is alarming. Many
missions in that region have been pillaged
and murdered. The viceroy has decided to
send delegate to make an investigate
and re-establish order. With the view OF
giving weight to the mission and to show
that accord exists between the mandarins
and the consulate, the commission sails on
the French war vessel Comet"

THE DEWEY ARCH
PERMANENT ARCH AT NEW
YORK LANGUISHES FOR
LACK OF FUNDS.

New York, August 15-Louis Windmill
Ter, one of the most active members of
the citizens committee for perpetuating
the naval arch, more commonly called
the Dewey Arch" in Fifth Avenue at
in spite of waning public interest," every
effort will still be made to replace the
present structure with one of stone. Mr..
Windmuller has just returned from Eu-
rope. He is the chairman of the SUBJ COM
mittee on entertainment.
1.-THE naval arch must be built" he
said emphatically. 1T has now become
question of civic pride. True, the
movement began in consequence of the
popular enthusiasm over the home-c COM
ing of Admiral Dewey. Because of a
certain opposition, which as we all know
was felt toward making the monument
solely in honor of Admiral Dewey it was
decided to name the arch in commemora-
tion OF the navy. Such an act was
thought to be only a slight acknowledge
ment of the past and present courage of
our commanders at sea.
Nevertheless, the ebb of enthusiasm
has continued and subscriptions have be-
come smaller and smaller. The last en-
tertainment given on Dewey Day. to
raise funds hardly met the expenses
.sBut shall we go backward? After such
a beginning can we end in utter failure?
Is such course consistent with the rec
ord of this metropolis ?That is the question
It Is not necessary TO say how much such
an arch would enhance the architectural
beauty of this city, nor need I say that
it would rebound ten times over to our
material advantage.
Accordingly the efforts to have an ex,
hibition Of paintings. proposed last spring
for the purpose Of completing the sub
scription fund should be redoubled. Al
though I have not consulted with all the
members of the committee on the under
taking, believe the plan is to exhibit tbs
American paintings at the Paris expo l.
tion and other art collecti MS as soon
as the exposition ends. think that If
proper appeal is made to the citizens Of
this city, they would respond
