After the nominations had been
made there was considerable talk
'among fremen that the combination

the Water Witch take its place.

Mr.. Sewall rendered valuable assist

THE RUSSIANS LOSE HEAVILY.
General Grodekoff's Men Short of
Ammunition

st. Petersburg, July PA dispatch
which has been received here from Cen
eral Grodekoff at Kahabarovsk, dated
July 22d reports that the steamer Odes
sa, which left Charbin July 10th. brought
tidings of the Russian force that left
Telin July 9TH en- route TO Charbn.
II appears that 200 men started with
large convoy of Chinese Christians, wo-
men and children. After constant fight
ing, which was often at close quarters
and with the bayonet. they were again
attacked by the boxers July 18th.
The Russians lost heavily and ran
short of ammunition. At last accounts
they were threatened by $1,000 boxers.
Engineer Jugovitch, at Charbin, had
found IL impossible to send efficient help
as he required all available forces to de-
fend Charbin, which place contained
thousands of unarmed employees, with
their families. who have been concentrat-
ed from along many sections of the rail-
way.
General Grodekoff considers the situa
tion as bad. Attacks are daily threaten
ed and rebels and marauders are runnins
over Manchuria. The general says the
local governors have little authority, and
that fanatics dominate the situation.

SHENG PROMISES AN ESCORT.
Chinese Director General Wires the
Governments Plan.

Washington. July A.-The Chinese min
lister received a dispatch this morning
from Sheng. the director of railroads and
telegraphs at Shanghai stating that the
foreign ministers are to be sent from
Pekin to Tien Tsin under escort. The
Sheng telegram was made public at the
state department In the following state
ment:
Minister Wu visited the state depart
ment this morning and handed to the act
ing secretary of state the following text
of cable message, explaining that il was
a cablegram from Director General Sheng
At Shanghai, dated July %. 1890. to the
Chinese minister at London. by whom ii
had teen transmitted to Minister WI and
received by the latter on the night OF
the same day.
News from Pekin of 22d day of sixth
moon. corresponding to July 18th, says
Wen Jul. by direction of the tsung II
yamen. went to the various foreign
ministers and found not one of them
harmed. Jung Lu proposes to memorialize
the imperial government to supply them
with provisions at once and then de-
wise plan to detail troops to escort them
to Tien Tsin."
This communication accords with the
publication made In London yesterday and
printed Ia the American newspapers of
this morning.
The Atlanta constitution., 1900-07-30

Washington. July 24.-(Spe-
cial.)-The formal announce
ment made by President Mckin-
ley in the correspondence given
out today, that this government
is ready TO mediate in the inter
est OF peace i'll China, provided
the Chinese government will
meet certain conditions, means
that the time has come for the
c...peror and the other powers in
China TO give practical demon
stration of the sincerity OF their
recent utterances.
There is little more than this
in the presidents letter TO the
emperor. The pledge he de
mands before he uses the friend
" offices of this government arc
these:
I. To give public assurance
whether the foreign ministers are
alive, and if so, in what condi-
ton.
2. To put the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the powers in i'm
mediate and free communication
with their respective govern
ments. and to remove any danger
to their lives and liberty.
3. To place the imperial au-
thorities of China in communi-
cation with the relief expedition.
so that cooperation may be Sc
cured between them for the lib
Grafton of the legations. the pro-
lection of foreigners and the res
toration of order.
When these objects are accom-
plished. then, and then only, will
the president take further steps.
These conditions are less drastic
than those laid down by France
in her reply TO a similar request
for mediation. but il Is believed
here that If the Chinese officials
are sincere these will be sutti-
cicnt to bring prompt end 10
hostilities and will result in per-
manent peace.
There should certainly be no
difficulty in the Chinese acceding
TO the first two OF these requests
or conditions, if. as they claim,
the members OF the legations are
safe. AS 10 the third condition,
there is more doubt Owing to
the capture OF the Taku forts and
the subsequent successful taking
OF Tien Tsin, the Chinese are
naturally disinclined TO put faith
in the European governments.
and It IS very doubtful ii there
would be such cooperation be
tween the imperial and foreign
armies as would hew the way for

for the information of all IL may con-
Germ. Respect this"
A significant statement in the above
edict is noted I'm that passage which
directs an investigation of all claims
Except these arising directly from the
said attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with
view to their ultimate settlement"
This appears to make plain not only
that the Chinese government will settle
claims for actual losses. but that 1t
has now formally decreed an exception
of those claims arising directly from the
attack on Tien Tsin. 1t seems to in
dicate that the Chinese government holds
that the attack on Tien Tsin was unwar-
ranted.
