mY GEORGE ID. ARMIsTEAD)


Dallas, Texas, August SO.-(Staff spe-
cial. )-When his overwhelming defeat in
pivotal counties, like Hunt. HILL Bastrop,
Washington and Travis, forced Senator
Chiffon to withdraw from the senatorial
race q majority OF his friends accepted the
result with good grace, and showed them
selves ready to sustain Mr.. Bailey in his
new position as senator from Texas with
that measure of confidence to which a
faithful public servant is entitled.
There was, however, certain coterie
of politicians scattered throughout the
State who became more bitter against Mr..
Bailey after Senator Chilton's withdrawal
than they were while the senatorial race
was in progress, The threats which they
muttered from time to time that Ma
Bailey would never be elected Senator
were regarded merely as manifestations
of disappointment and bad temper, Re-
cent events, however, make it plain that
these men have not given up their fight.
Six weeks ago they began filling tho
State with insinuations against Mr.. Bailey
in reference to the Waters Pierce Oil COM
pany permit and it was proclaimed ciat
an effort would be made at the State con-
yention when it assembled at Waco to
taks seme action which could be claimed
to release the democrat nominees for the
legislature from instructions to vote Cor
Mr.. Bailey for the United States senate.
But when the delegates to the Waco con-
vention began to arrive It became apparent
that my resolution rejecting upon Mr..
Bailey would be voted down by decisive
majority, and his enemies abandoned the
idea Of an open fight, only to I'LL the at
mosphere with iusinuations and inuendoes.
~
Mr.. Bailey met this method OF attack in
the only way open TO an honest and self
respecting man. Considering that he was
the nomiree OF the democratic party of
Texas for United States senator, he stood
before the State convention of his party,
and after frank statement OF his whole
connection with the Waters Pierce Oil
company permit he demanded OF his ac-
cusers to stand out before the people and
repeat their accusations in his presence.

Chinese Government Sends An Imperial
Decree to That Eject.

Washington, July 1.-THE Chinese
minister. WI, this morning delivered
to Hay the copy of a cabIegram re-
ceived by him purporting to be from
the Chinese imperial government. dis
claiming responsibility on the part of
the government for the Boxer trou-
bles, and asserting the engagement at
Tien T>in was the direct result of the
bombardment of Taku forts by for
eigners. The imperial decree details
at great length from their point of
view the history of the Boxer
saying the local authorities at
first failed to take notice and
the infection spread with such
rapidity that a situation was created
which could not be brought under
control. 1t refers to the request that
foreign troops be allowed to enter the
capital for protection OF the legations,
which request was granted as an ex-
traordinary mark of courtesy beyond
the requirements of international in
foreign troops did not confine them
selves to protecting legations, but pa
trolled the streets firing guns, which
provoked resentment on the part of
the Chinese soldiers and people. which
was taken advantage of by the
lawless elemen. 1t was duringI
the discussion of the proposition
at the request of the reign ministers
to retire temporarily to Tien Tsin TO F
safety that the German minister wa
assassinated by a riotious mob Will e
on his way TO Tsung-Li-Yameu. Sine e
the occurrence, says the decree, THE
anarchists have assumed a more bold
and threatening attitude and it W as
deemed inadvisable to send the foreign
ministers to Tien Tsiu. Assurance is
given that the military authorities
are strictly enJoinsd to afford proteec-
tion to the legations and that ;he ,u-
archists will be severely dealt with as
circumstances permit.

three marshalS overlook them and the
fight began. One of the marshals was

the leader OF the desperadoes was next
to fall. Then the fight continued for
nearly an hour when another despera-
do fell and the remaining one started
to run, but was brought down. e..
