UNCLE SAM'S DEMAND

Upon China Made Public-order Of
Cessation Of Hostilities, and Protec.
ton Of Legations-Asks for Com
munication With Our Ministers.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The state
department this morning made public
the following memorandum sent yes
terday to the Chinese government
through Minister WI: g
1--WE are availing ourselves Of the
opportunity offered by the imperial
edict of the 5th OF August allowing to
the foreign ministers free communica-
tlon with their respective governments
In cipher, and have sent communica-
ton to Minister Conger, to which we
await an answer. 5
I'VE are already advised by him, In
brief dispatch received August z.
that imperial troops are firing daily
upon the ministers in Pelsln. We de-
mand the immediate cessation OF hos
tile attacks by imperial troops upon
the legations, and urge the exercise OF
every power and energy Of the imper-
ial government fer the protection OF
the legations ard all foreigners there
in. ~
Would be Certain Death.
Eve nre also advised by the same
dispatch from Minister Conger that. In
his opinion. for the foreign minister
to leave Pekin as proposed in the
edict Of Aug 2, would mean certain
death. In view OF the fact that the
imperial troops are now firing upon
the legations, and in view of the doubt
expressed by the imperial government
In Its edict of August ., as to its power
to restore order and secure absolute
safety in Pekia, It is evident that this
apprehension Is well founded, for If
your government cannot protect our
minister In Pekin. 1t will presumptive-
ly be unable 10 protect him upon a
journey from Pekin to the coast
For Liberation Of Legations.
I'VE therefore urge upon the lmper-
ial government that 1t shall adopt the
course suggested in the third clause of
the letter Of the president to his mai
esty, the emperor OF China. of July. %.
1900. and enter into communication
with the relief expedition so thai CO.
operation may be secured between.
them for the liberation OF the legations,
the protection Of foreigners and the
restoration of order. Such action on
the part OF the imperial government
would be satisfactory demonstration
of Its .friendliness and desire to attain
these ends. (signed) ALVY A. ,ADEE.

that Mrs. Hamilton, the aged mother

who was one of the victims, will mako
no claim against the company for tho
loss OF her son. 1t was thought. that
the railroad company would endeayor

To His Home Government the De-
mnnd of the United States.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. August 9.-aIr.
WI, the Chinese minister. said tonight
he had received information from China
that eight foreign legations in Pekin
had sent cipher messages to their re-
spective governments This was per-
mitted in accordance with the Imperial
edict OF the 5th OF August, allowing
all the foreign ministers free communl-
cation with their respective govern
ments In cipher"
The fact that the legations nre being
allowed to send cipher dispatches to
their home offices shows. in Mr.. Wu's
opinion. that his government Is living
up to the imperial cdict permitting the
ministers TO have free communicat ton
with their governments.
Minister WI Tonight sont to his gov
ernment the memorandum addressed to
him by Acting Secretary Adee and de-
manding the immediate cessation Of
hostile attacks by imperial troops upon
the legations md urging the imperial
government to enter into communica-
tlon with the relief expedition for the
liberation OF the legations.

TEMPERATURE ABOVE NINETY
On Six Consecutive Days-serious Eff
feet on Business-People Leav-
ing for the Country.

= CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Hot weather re-
cords for this city were broken to-day
and will be broken again Friday and
again on Saturday and probably Tor
several days after that. The local fore
caster will not hazard a guess after the
next three days. all OF which he says
will be OF the same torrld nature as the
last six days and he has fears Of the
weather after the next three days have
gone. ;'i
For twenty-five years, or since the
weather bureau was established, there
has been but one term of no, weather
In which the mercury reached 90 for five
consecutive days. The average maxi
mum temperature for those five days
was 92. There have now been six days
which the temperature has gone above
80. and the average maximum for the
six days has been 93.5. To-day was the
hottest Of the present heated spell, the
mercury reaching 95 In the Auditorium
tower at o'clock. On the street level,
where brick walls and side walks we're
given chance TO radiate 1t. 1t was two
degrees warmer than In the tower.
The prolonged heat is having serl-
Gus effect on business. All OF those
who can leave the city for points along
the Lake Shore and In the woods are
going. and many have materially cur
tailed their hours OF labor. This Is es-
peclally true in the large office build
ings. Gangs of laborers all over tn:
city laid of during the afternoon.
For the week the mortality list hus
been mounting with great rapidity, the
increase being attributed entirely to the,
heat. There were 4G5 deaths last week
and at the present ratio OF increase
there will be 500 this week. The ratio
OF deaths, according to the coronerwill
increase steadily as long as the hot
weather continues.

Ig Chafee's Report Published.
With the exception OF these messages
General Chaffee's report is the only ac-

The editorials generally incline to

establishment OF bases will cause In

P1TTSBURG. Pn., Aug. e.-About 1so
1tallans have been rloting near Zollcrs-
yiiie. Washington county. this state,
for the past two days with moro or less
serious results. but no fatalities have
MS yet been reported. The men are en-
gagged In laying the pipe line for the

OF their number arc said to be auar-

must be compliance. the lack OF COM
pllance during the stated time being n
ground for war. While a demand is
less specific MS to time or compliance,
1t none the less asserts a positive right
which the government VIII enforce, Il
the right is not conceded. Owing to the

and there Is a disposition to grant all
reasonable time for. this transmission.
Landing Of Troops at Shanghai.
Late in the day the state department
received m important dispatch from
Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
announcing the landing OF British
troops at that point. The consul gen
,eral did not state that he had protest.
ed against this action, and the state de-
partment judged from this that no pro-
test would have been made by him In
the absence OF instructions. He stated,
however. that the merchants of the city
strongly disapproved the landing OF the
British troops. fearing that 1t would in
cite the anti-forelgn Chinese to hostill-
ties. The government at Washington
has taken no action In the nature OF d
protect and it is stated officially that no
such action will be taken. On the con-
trary, the United States government
recognizes the right OF any power to
protect Its citizens or their interests
when they are supposed to be In jeop-
ardy. As indicative of this policy 1t Is
stated In the highest official quarters
that II the United States citizens at
Annoy. China. were reported to be In
danger, this government would main
tain Its right to promptly send an arm:
ed force for their protection.
Open to All Powers Alike.
This right of protection claimed by
the Uhited States is conceded to be open
to all powers alike. At the same time
the state department recognizes that
there Is question OF wisdom involved
In this particular landing OF troops. AS
to whether our government would cx-
press any doubt upon the wisdom Of the
movement. the officials decline posi-
lively to say.
Secretary Root regards the situation
both from military and diplomatic
point OF view. as much improved. The
promise OF cipher communication with
the ministers In Pekin, together with
the advance of the international forces
toward that clty.ls believed to have cor
relative significance. It Is also believed
that the slstance by the Chinese has
not been and will not be as great as an
ticipated by some authorities who said
that the Chinese force consisted OF the
best OF their army. The movement on
Yans Tsun is in accordance with infor-
nation contained in the dispatch from
General Chaffec. which was not made
public and also in n dispatch which was
made public after Peitsang had been
taken. 1t Is the expectation of the off,
cials Of the war department that the
present reconnaissance In force will
continue. although nothing Is said as
coming from General Chaffee to that
effect.
