washington, Aug. 1.-The safety OF
the ministers at Picking. being tempor-
arily assured, the attention OF the gov
eminent is now being directed toward
two objects, first to effect the perma-
nent safety of the ministers by bring
ing them away from Peking and sec
ond, to hasten the advance in the Chi
nese capital.
The Chinese government is employ

Is the main lelinnce 70 encompass this
purpose, but he Is hampered by the OBJ
tuseness of the Peking officials. Our
government is willing to render such
assistance as 1t properly can, but it
must be upon the terms already laid
down.
1t is said here that the one possible
means of stopping the forward move
ment of the column within the reach
of the Chinese government is an in
slant compliance with the first de-
mands of tho powers. namely that tho
ministers be put in free communica-
ttion with their governments. 1t has
been suggested to the Peking authori-

diately to Tien Tsin, clothed with full
authority to deal with the situation
and given unlimited power to afford
rebaration for the injuries inflicted
upon the internationals.
If this is preceded by the release OF
the ministers from siege, there is a
possibility that the powers temporar-
lily will suspend the military move
ment which may, in the end, be rem
dered unnecessary If the embassy
meets the demands of Europe and
America.
Meanwhile Admiral Remey cables
that more marines-those who crossed
on the Grant under Major Biddle-are
being sent to Tien Tsin, Indicating
the intention OF the military com
manders there to make an early start.
The advices from Lii Hung Chang,
brought to the state department by.
Minister Wu, afford strong evidence Of
the desire of the Chinese government
to escape from its present predlciment,
and certainly seem to afford a reason.

of the legationers pending the out

abandonment of the Pekng campaign.

washington, July sO.-Tho view
which the Washington cabinet has
taken from the beginning that with
the exception of Baron Won Retteler,
tho legatloners at Peking were alive
long after the date which was said to
have marked their massacre, is being
slowly but surely confirmed.
The most important contribution in
support of our governments position
since the receipt of the Conger auto
graph letter, representing the foreign
ministers to have been alive on July
came from United States Consul
Fowler at ChefOo.
The letter referred to by tho consul
as coming from the German legation
at Peking is supposed here to have been
an autographic letter and as such alb
solutely removed from the possibility
OF fraud.
The Japanese representative Is also
understood to have come down to the
sea without having passed through
Chinese hands. That was one of the
first results of the private messenger
system inaugurated by the command
ers OF the allied forces. Taken in con-
junction the two reports submitted by
Mr.. Fowler added overwhelmingly to
the weight of testimony in favor of eX-
istence of the legationers.
General Chaffee, whose arrival is re"
ported by cable from Chcfoo, certainly
made remarkable time in going from
Nagasalsl to Taku in two days, show
ing that the transport Grant must
have been pressed to her utmost. The
generals horses are expected to ar
rive there in about a week, when the
forward movement on Poking prob
ably will begin.

of Illinois Speaks to

OHIO OFFICIALS YIsT president.
After an Informal Reception at tho
Mckinley Home at Canton the
ChieG Executive Leaves For
the National Capital.

Toledo. Aug. 1.-The second days
session OF the Ohio Democratic clubs
opened with a meeting addressed by
several local speakers.
Resolutions were adopted along the
lines of the Kansas City platform, but
NO specific mention of free silver was
made, although demanded by some OF
the members. The afternoon session
was held in a grove outside the city
and was addressed by General Sher-
wood, Judge Smalley and others. Ex-
Governor John p. Altgeld OF Illinois
is here and spoke at the closing meet
ing of the association during the even
ing.
Mr.. Altgeld spoke in part as follows:
"There are only two principles or
systems of governments known to man
government by brute force and gov
ernment by consent of the governed.
The one is applied from without and Is
repressive, and. in the end, destructive,
because 1t arrests growth;- while the
other works from within. is evolution
ary and progressive,'
Government by force has existed
for thousands of years, and It's tend
ency is everywhere the same. 1t has
checked growth. arrested development,
cowed the noblor aspirations of man,
stunted the intellect, and covered the
earth with suffering and misery.
"Government by consent of the gov
erned stimulates the higher aspira-
tlons of man. Under this system of
government the people reach their
higher capabilities. not in one line but
in all lines. They reach the highest
standard of manhood and womanhood,
the highest ideals of Justice and hu
man felicity; and the nations of tho
earth have been great in proportion as
they recognized the principle of free
dom.
"The principle OF government by
consent of the governed was first ap-
piled In its broadest sense in the for
nation of the republic. and 1t worked
revolution in human society. 1t has
given the world more progress in one
century than 1t achieved in tho 90 or
60 centuries of recorded time.
Now after career of unparalleled
splendor, after having been the hope
of the human race for a centure, after
having shaped the civilization OF the
age, 1t is solemnly proposed to aban-
don the principles that made us great,
to come down from the heights where
we have been beokonlng the nations,
and to get on tho lower plane OF brute
force, and enter into scramble with
the despotic nations of the earth in an
attempt to plunder weaker people"
