 Purposes of Russia in China.
 Photographic instructions sent to the rep resentatives of the United States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Rome, Tokio and St. Petersburg.
 Department of State, Washington, Au- gust 29, 1900.
 The Russian charge yesterday made to me an oral communication respecting Rus sias purposes in China, to the following effect:
 That as already reported, they declared Russia has nc designs of territorial acQui- sition in China, that equally with other powers now operating there, Russia has sought safety of legations at Pekin and to help the Chinese government to repress the troubles that incidentally necessary to defensive measures on Russian border, Russia has occupied Newchwang for mili- tary purposes and as soon as order is re- established will retire troops therefrom if action of other powers be no obstacle thereto that the purpose for which the various governments have co-operated for relief of legations in Pekin has been ac- complished; that, taking the position that, as the Chinese government has left Pekin, there is no need for her representative to remain, Russia has directed Russian min ister to retire with his official personnel from China; that the Russian troops will likewise be withdrawn; and that when the government of China shaA regain the reins of government and afford an authority with which the other powers can deal, and will express desire to enter in negotiations the Russian government will also name its representative. Holding these views and purposes, Russia expresses hope that the United States will share the same opinion

ALLIES SUBJECTED
 TO DANGEROUS TEST
Russo-AmeriCan Proposals Are Diametricay 0ppos-
 ed to Emperor Williams Policy

to withdraw its military forces from Pe- kin and remit to the processes of peaceful negotiation our just demands.
 We consider, however that a continued occupation of Pekin would be ineffective to produce the desired result, unless all the powers unite therein with entire harmony of purpose. Any power which determines to withdraw its troops from Pekin will necessarily proceed thereafter to protect its interests in China by its own method, and we think that this would make a gen. eral withdrawal expedient. As to the time ana manner of withdrawing, we think that, in view of the imperfect knowledge or the military situation resulting from the interruptions of telegraphic communi- caton the several military commanders at Pekin should be instructed to confer and agree together upon the withdrawal as a concerted movement, as they agreed upon the advance
 "As result of these considerations un- less there Is such a general expression by the powers in favor of continued occupa- ton as to modify the views of Russia and lead to general agreement for continued occupation, we shall give in- structfons to the commander of the Ameri- can forces in China to withdraw our troops rom Pektn after the conference with other commanders as to the time and manner of withdrawal.
 ''Dhe government of the United States is much gTatified by tho assurances given by hussla that the occupation of New Chwans IS TOT military purposes incidental to the military steps for the security of the Rus sian border provinces menaced by the Chi- nose, and that as soon as order has been re-estabhshed Russia will retire her troops rom those places If the action of the other powers be not an obstacle thereto.
 NO obstacle in this regard can arise through any action of the United States, Wnose policy is fixed and has been repeat edly proclaimed.
 ALVEY ADEE
 Acting Secretary" Department of State, Washington, August 2s, 1900.
 You will communicate the foregoing to the minister of foreign affairs, and invite early consideration and response"

Two Negroes Legally Executed in Diff
 ferent States

Raleigh, N. O., Aug. 31.--Thomas Jones' negro preacher, the murderer of a family oc six persons was hanged here today in the county jail. The execution was in pri- vate. A great many negroes were in the immediate vicinity of the jail, the same ne- groes who last March attempted to lynch Jones. but no demonstration was made. AL though preacher at the time of the crime, Jones dated his actual conversion only as far back as this week. three days before he felt the moose about his neck.
 With the object of exterminating a fam- fly of eight Jones, in order to conceal his crime, murdered Ella Jones, colored, and her 4-year-old daughter, and then set fire to the building in which they resided, burn ing alive four smaller children. Laura Jones, an S-year-old girl, escaped, carrying with her Sid Jones. her 8-year-old brother, reducing the number of Jones' victims to six.

Note Sent to the Powers Was Unique in the History
 of Diplomatic Exchange.


 word from him since August 21, the date Of the last appeal for peace.
 Turned to Europe
 Some significance is attached to this, as indicative that Earl Li, failing to get from Washington an acceptance of his over- lures. turned to Europe and more particu- larly to Russia. It was stated today as an additional reason for an American accept ance of Ii Hung Chang that his confiden- tial secretary and adviser is an American, MT. Pethick formerly of the American consular service at Tien Tsin.
 Mr Pethick Is known to have great in- fiuence with the Viceroy and among the officials here is regarded as a man of ex- ceptional ability and scrupulous integrity.
 The disposition to look for ulterior move ments in Russia's plans is met by the statement in authentve quarters that such suspicious show a lack of familiarity with Russia's traditional friendship with China. It Is pointed out that the two countries have lived as neiehbors since lo44 and that their relations have not only been as traders, each pushing commercial enterprises into the territory of the other, but as border friends 1t Is said this brought about the agreement over the Trans-Siberian Railroad which, while beneficial to Russia, also helped China to develop the resources of Manchuria
 In seeking concessions also 1t iS stated that Russia has never permitted her citi- zens to acquire rich railroad and mineral concessions and thsn to sell them in speculative markets This unselfish and neishborly sentiment, 1t Is maintained is the chief motive for Russia's present course.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN
 UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA

equally with the other powers now operat- ing in China, Russia has sought the safety of her legation in Pekin and to help the Chl- nese government to repress the existing troubles The same purpose will control the government of the United States and frank declarations of Russia in this regard are in accord with those made to the United States by the other powers. All the powers therefore, having disclaimed any purpose to acquire any part of China and now that adherence thereto has been renewed since relief has reached Pekin, 1t ought not to be difficult by concurrent action through negottau tons to reach an amacable settle ment with China by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be secured for the future the open door assured, the interests and property of foreign citizens for wrongs and injuries suffered by them.
 ''So far as we are advised the greater part of China Is at peace and earnestly desires to protect the life and property Of all for- eigners and in several of the provinces ac- tive and skdllful efforts to suppress the Boxers have been taken by the viceroys, to whom we have extended encouragement through our consuls and naval officers
 ''Thfs present good relations should be promoted for the peace of China
 While we agree that the immediate ob- ject for which the military forces of the powers have been cooperating, viz.i the relief of the Ministers at Pekin, has been accomplished, there still remain the other purposes which all the powers nave In common, which are referred to in the con- munication of the Russian charge and which were specifically enumerated in our note to the powers of July 8.
 "These are: To afford all possible protec- tion everywhere in China to foreign life and property; to guard and protect all legitimate foreign interests; to aid in pre- venting the spread of the disorder to other provinces of the Empire and a recurrence of such disorders; and to seek solution which may bring about a permanent safety and peace to China, preserve Chinese ter ritorial and administrative entity, protect all rights guaranteed by treaty and inter- national law to friendly powers and safe- guard for the world the principle of equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire.
 To Withdraw Our Forces
 "In our opinion these purposes could best be attained by the joint occupation of Pe- kin under definite understanding between the powers until the Chinese Government shall have been re-established and shall be in @ position to enter into new treaties with adequate provisions for reparatfon and guarantees of future protection. With the establishment and recognition of such authority the United States would wish

BOXERS AGAIN ACTIVE
Overrunning the Country Southwest of
 Tien Tsin

Taku, August 2s via Shanghai, August S0.-An intercepted letter written by the Vioeroy of Pao Ting Flu, who commanded at Tien Tsin during the fighting there, complains that the Boxers are overrunning the country southwest of Tien Tsin, par ticularly the parties on the Granw Canal, despising the officials, who at first counte- nanced them, and footing and killing the enemies of their organization and fighting the Imperial troops.
 The officers of every nation except the Americans ignore the oppressive order and all the allies ridicule the Americans for their abstention.
 Missionary Green of the China Island Mission, his sister, wife and their two chil- dren, who were for some time held as prisoners by the Boxers at Hsing Nan Sien, near Pao Ting Flu, were we'll treated. A company of Chinese Catholics have held a town near Pao Ting Flu for three months against the Boxers and Imperial troops. The officials have offered large sums for their capture.

The profit of a gold mine depends

upon the amount of nOuishment ex

organs of the body, and these organs

WILL INCREASE PRICE OF BROOMS.
Broom Corn Crop Short and None Planted
in the South.

The Nation, Ill, Journal, one Of
the papers devoted to broom corn
raising in the west, publishes inter-
views with several of the largest
broom corn farmers, and every condi-
tion'goes to show that broom corn in
stead of being lower this fall will un-
doubtely go much higher in price.
"The reasons are manifold" says
the Journal. Foremost, there Will be
an actual decrease in acreage over
last years crop, which you know was
insufficient to meet the demand. This
shortage in acreage is due to the fact
that farmers were frightened out OF
planting. The newspapers all over the
west have been shouting all winter
about a food and over-acreage OF
broom corn this season, and this coup
led with the fact that travelling men
are advising farmers that broom corn
wouldn't be worth ten dollOrs ger ton
this fall has had all its effect. The
regular broom corn farmers, not de9ir-
ing to enter into the business on such
an improbable scale, have either cut
their acreage in half or not planted at
all.
Reports from Kansas, and in fact
the entire west, report a greatly re-
duced acreage. The biggest standard
county in broom corn raising (McPher-
SOM shows a decrease of % per cent,
1t looks very much as if broom corn
will be higher, and consequently
brooms will Increase accordingly"
An effort has been made for the past
several years to induce southern far
mers to grow broom corn, but without
success. Any soil that will produce
ordinary corn and cotton will produce
good yield of broom corn, which, at
the present price, is better paying
crop than cotton.
