CAIRO, ILL.,, July 12.-Mike Conley, alias

concerned in the hCld-up, and that they
were all drunk.
Conley said he stood watch over the

After leaving the engine they entered AZ
yawl, in the Mississippi river. and the
leader Of the bandits divided the money.
Conley says they cheated him, counting
out five dollars for themselves and tell
ing him they were ones. his share being
only $50.
In the count of the money they quar-
relied and Conley says he jumped over
board and swan ashore. The others pro-
ceeded down the river. Nearly drowned,
he finally reached the Missouri shore, and
made his way to Charleston, where he
was arrested and brought to this city
Conley is about feet inches tall
thirty years old and has a black mus
tache. He says one OF his companions
was a young fellow, tall and slim, and
the other heaYy-set, older and with q
red face and sandy complexion.

their names. He gays two weeks ago

NETWORK OF LIES.
BERLIN, July 12.-Oficial circles here
attach little Importance to the communi-
cation Of the Chinese minister at Wash
ington, dated June 29 At best it is in
terpreted as an attempt to gloss over the
recent outrageous deeds. A number of
statements made in it are declared to be
notoriously false, such as, for instance,
the representations regarding Baron Won
ketteler's death and the Taku seizure.
The main objection urged here is that
nobody knows whose government the
statements represent-whether the gov
ernment Of the dowager empress and
Kwang Hsu, or that of Prince Tuan.
The document bears date of June 20, and
nobody knows what government, if any,
has since succeeded.
majority of the papers regard the
communication as Chinese network of
lies, with which both Europe and Amer
lea have lately been circulating The
foreign Office thinks that if the commu-
nication is authentic, and was authorized
by the existing Chinese government, it
would mean that the Peking government
foresees the proximate end of the rebel
lion, and would like to effect a reconcilia-

DoCToRED DoCUMENT.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The good i'm
preston made by the edict of the Chi
nese government, given out by Minister
WI yesterday, threatens to be offset to
some extent today by the reports from
London stating that Prince Tuan was the
real author of this edict, and that some
of its most forcible anti-foreign language
was omitted from the version given out
here. But at the Chinese legation these
intimations from London are dismissed
as groundless.
The dispatch was received here in Chi
nese-that is In the numerals by which

be required-first from the numerals to
the Chinese, and. second, from the Chi

JESTER MURDER TRIAL.
Testimony of an Important Witness

NEW LONDON, Mo-, July 12.-cnarles
Hazelhurst, who accompanied Gilbert
Gates, brother of John w. Gates, the
steel and wire magnate. from st. Charles.
Ill, in 1871, to Kansas where Gates dis
appeared, was q witness today in the trial
of Alexander Jester charged with kill
ing Gates. He described the articles
found in the possession of Alexander Jes-
ter when arrested at Wichita, Kan, as
the same that Gilbert Gates had when
he left Eazelhnrst's home to return to
Illinois.
Mr.. HazelhuTst has been on the witness
stand since yesterday afternoon, and was
considered one of the strongest witnesses
for the state until the defense stated
that they admitted Jester had some of
his clothing, watch, gun, dog, ETC., but
that they were included in the outfit Jes-
ter purchased from the young man when
they separated near Middle Grove, Mo.

asserts that he only escaped from Tien
Tsin by cutting off his queue and donning
European clothes.
1t is asserted that the Tao Tai of
Shanghai protested to the powers against
these Russian slaughters.
1t is asserted that the Buddhist priests
throughout the empire are propagating
Prince Tuan's anti-foreign gospel.
News is circulating throughout the
Yang Use valley that Gen. Ma has in
hicted crushing defeat upon the allies
at Tien Tsin, and that the foreign army
has been cut to pieces east of Pelzing.
The actual impotence for the moment of
the allied forces nearly give cover to
these stories, with the worst results.

press gives Tien Tsin advices to July s,

Democratic Managers,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 12.-Lead,ne
members of the Gold Democratic party
here are not in favor of a separate ticket
for this campaign.
1t is likely that the national committee,
when it convenes here on July 25. will
go over the books of the organization, ad-
just all of its business matters, issue a
proclamation against the free silver idea,
and the candidates of the Kansas City
convention, reaffirm the principles Of the
platform adopted at the sound money
convention held here four years ago and
then adjourn.

REMARKABLE CONVENTIONS.
The conventions were the most remark
able since fusion became a factor in
Nebraska politics. National politics was
injected into the proceedings, and at one
time, though it had in reality no bearing
on the direct issues, threatened a split
between the Democrats and Populists.
The question was over the Endorsement
of Stevenson for vice president by the
Populists. 1t provoked a storm in that
convention, which practically blocked ali
business from II o'clock last night up to
the time a recess was taken at o'clock
this morning.
The excitement developed by the dispute
over the apportionment of state officers
among the three parties was heightened
by the springing of the vice-presidential
question, and at o'clock this morning
f. M Harrington, one of the leading Pop
ulists of the West, told the convention
that 1t would wreck the party if they in
dorsed the withdrawal of Towne from the
ticket and conceded the other Denocrdtlc
demands.
DEMOCRATS YIELD ALL.
j. H. Edmiston, chairman of the Popu-
list state central committee, and vice
chairman of the national committee, was
even more radical, and declared that if
the Populists did not stand their ground,
hold their place on the national ticket,
and insist upon the bulk of the state Of
fcers, they could never hold another
national convention.
Just at a time when the sentiment
seemed strong for breaking away from
all alliances, motion to take a recess
prevailed The Democrats adjourned at
the same time, and the leaders got to-
gether for a conference, with the result
that the Democrats yielded every thing,
accepting a single Office on the state
ticket, and dividing with the Populists
and Free Silver Republicans the eight
presidential electors.
The conference committees were dis
charged from duty at this mornings ses-
sion and the Populists sent their ultima
tum to the Democrats on the question of
the division of state offices. 1t was ac-
cepted and Gov. Poynter's renomina ton
followed before the noon recess.
The ticket was completed at the af-
ternoon session.
