companied him and are guests at the

washington, July 1.-THE Chinese
minister has just received a cablegraTn
announcing the safety of the foreign
ministers on July 9. He has gone to the
state department to communicate the
contents of the message to Secretary

Quality of This Years Kansas
Wheat Unequalled.
Topeka MiIlerS Are Enthusiastic
Over the Supply.
TEST OF 81 POUNDS.
One Mill Owner Reports Excep-
tiOnally Perfect Wheat.
Enormous Crop Means Big Busi-
ness For Kansas Mills.

1.-THE wheat crop Of Kansas is all that
IS claimed for it, said J. P. Griswold
of the Shawnee Milling company. New
wheat has been coming in and it is the
best that has ever been raised in kan
sas We have been here for % years
and have never seen any wheat that
will equal in quality the new wheat
we are receiving"
In answer to the question: DO you
think the extra quality of the crop and
the extraordinary quantity Of 1t will
give an impetus to the milling business
in Topeka?' he replied: Il believe the
quality of the crop. combined with the
failure in other sections, will make bet
ter business for the local mills. With
good wheat we can make good -four and
good -four should cause a demand"
A FassIer of the Inter-Ocean mills
when asked If new wheat was coming
in said: Yes, indeed; 81 cars of wheat
were received in Topeka today and 200
cars were received in Kansas City. The
81 cars were not all new wheat butnosr
of il was. The extraordinary amount
received in Kansas City caused the mar
ket to fall little but not much. The
wheat is exceptionally fine; the best
have ever seen It is hard to tell wheth-
er the big crop will cause the business to
improve locally, although We hope So
1 notice the Cincinnati bulletins say
that in spite of the report of failures
that there is plenty Of wheat t. supply
the demand and there will be no fancy
prices AS soon as the market adjusts
itself, as it always does, business will
improve and the local mills viii get
their share of the outside trade Buyers
hesitate while the price is going up as
we'll as down but as soon as it settles,
gets steady, then business improves
Daniel Crosby, of the Crosby Milling
company said: The new wheat which
is coming in is of excellent quality and
if the rest of the crop is like the sam
pies it is the best ever raised in Kansas
The wheat we have received runs from
SO to 81 pounds. We are unloading a car
now which is 81 pound wheat We hope
that the quality of the crop Will help
business and think it viii because we
can turn out better flour with such
wheat as we are receiving"
At the Mid-Continent mills the same
statements in regard to the quality OF
the wheat were made and it was added
that the Oklahoma wheat which comes
here was just as fine as the Kansas
wheat The price tocay for wheat is
&c higher than last year for the same
grade No. ?. although the grade this
year is much higher than last. They
report new wheat receipts since July ),
the day the mill commenced running
after being closed for repairs.

SAILED FOR CHINA.
Fourteenth Infantry and Fifth
Artillery Go From Manila.

Washington. July 1.-THE following
cable was received at the war department.
today from General Macarthur:
Manila. July 16 1eOO.-Adjutant general,

ambiguity that was contained in the
admiralS dispatch and swept away the
last doubt in the official mind as to the
Importance OF the victory. The hostile
Chinese have been driven out of the
shelter Of the city and into the open
plain and the allied force has quadrupled
its efficiency in combat by placing the
Chinese in this position. It is not doubt
ed that the forward movement on Pelzia
will begin as soon as the cavalry con-
tingent has arrived from Japan, which
should be within day or two.
The moral effect of the defeat of the
allies at Tien Tsin would have been ter
rible, according to army officers, and
would have been followed by the extern
sion of the boxer revolt to all parts of
China Even the Chinese minister now
thinks that this blow has done much to
crush the rebellion He already talks of
peace commissions in most significant
way.
There was no change in the official
situation this morning Pending the ar
rival of the president, it was not deem
ed proper to issue any orders to the
troops. The impression gains ground
that the good news OF the morning has
relieved the situation to the extent that
the ca binet meeting called for this af-
ternOOl will not be obliged TO deal with
emergency measures. The prospect OF
an extra session of congress has
meen merged into the back ground with
the other unpleasant contingencies
which We're to the fore yesterday The
Y,
master general and the quartermaster
general say they have enough money to
meet present emergencies and that after
all would be the only consideration that
would involve an extra session in view
of the determination to adhere to the
no war" status.
