conditions upon the delivery that are
altogether obje ctionable.
Such, for instance, Is a stipulation that
the Chinese imperial authorities shall be

quences Of the attempt and for liability
Tor what has taken place in Pekn. The
first stipulation might be rega rded as
direct invitation to the Boxers to mur-
der the ministers on their way 10 the,
coast, and therefore our government will
leave 1t to Mr.. Conger himself whether
or not he regards II as safe to leave
Fekin when the opportunity Is held out.
Meanwhile, there has been no change
as to the military program, so far as our
government Is advised. The senior
United States naval officer at Taku is
under the frost positive instructions to
urge a forward movement, these ha wing
been sent by Secretary Long Just after
the receipt Of the original Ccnger mes
sage. and he was advised also OF the in
tention OF the government to add 10 his
force. These matters are referred to in
the belated dispatch from Tien Tsin
which touches upon the military situa-
tion. and the prospects Of speedy for
ward movement.
But no additional Instructions on this
point were sent to the United States
army officers yesterday, and the govern
ment Is allowing its officers on the spot
to shape their own campaign, relying
particularly upon the very full and COM
prehcnsive instructions previously given
to General Chaffee both in person and by
cable upon his arrival at Nagasaki.
Secretary Root says that there have
been no developments in the diplomatic
situation which would delay the advance
on Pekin, and that General Chaffee has
orders to cover any contingency which
might arise.
A statement has been made in the dis
patches from Europe to the effect that
the United States is pushing General
Chaffee for chief commander. 1t is said
at the war department that such is not
the case, though it is recognized that the
situation might be such as to make it
necessary for him to accept command, if

wright HOyt on Release.
Charlestown, N. H., Aug. 2.-The
townspeople Of Charles H. Hoyt re-
joiced last night in having the play
wright at home after his release from a
Hartford asylum.
He was received by the whole town
on his arrival here from Hartford. Only
the sick and those who could not walk
ing Mr.. Hoyt arrived. The square In
front of the depot was crowded.
All day the town had been worked up
to q great pitch Of excitement for such
an easy-going community over the ex-
pected arrival of Mr.. Hoyt. 1t was
planned to give him a rousing Iecep-
tion, and only a telegram from George
H. Dickinson, who was accompanying
Mr.. Hoyt, asking that no demonstration
be made, kept the townspeople from
cutting loose with a merry greeting.
The train bringing, MIR. Hoyt and the
party accompa nying' him was about half
an hour late The party had state
room in a parlor car, and Mr.. Hoyt at
tracted no unpleasant attention on the
way. In fact there is nothing In the APP
pearance of the playwright to suggest a
man being brought from hospital FOL
the insane.
AS soon as 1t was learned that Mr.
Hoyt had started for his house, which !!
but three minutes walk from the sta
tion, the crowd fell In and turned toward
the 1Ioyt place.
He was moved to tears as he spok'
and thanked his fellow citizens for thei
welcome home. He said he was glad t.
be with them again in his beloved
| Charlestown.
There were tears IN the eyes Of man!
in the crowd when he finished Ills brie
speech, and all crowded forward t
shake the hand Of their illustrious towns
man. He shook hands with 100 or more
until Dr. Young suggested that he woul
tire himself too much by continuing.
