no GET HER MorHER,s PROPERTY.
A Daughter Alleged to Have Attempted d
Poisoning.


Winsted, Conn, Aug. 27.-A tale of
how daughter conspired with her low
er to poison her mother that they might
get possession of her property-a large
farm-comeS from South Sanderfield,
Mass, just across the state line. Ac-
cording to the story told by John F.
Simmons, humane agent, and Martin
Luther, a Colebrook detective, DR..
Bruce, a quack doctor, and Mrs. Eliza
Sage, daughter Of Mrs. Sarah Aldrich,
have been trying by various means to
get possession of the mothers proper
ty frequently threatening her life and
finally, according to the story told the
detective by Mrs Aldrich, they placed
poison in her tea last week, and after
drinking some of it was seriously i'll for
a few days. Saturday she had so far
recovered that she was able to get
away from the house and at once came
to Martin Luther's and told her story,
who in turn consulted with Mr.. Sim
mons
DR.. Bruce, who is about fifty years Of
age, has been living at the Aldrich
home for some little time and has been
very pronounced in his attentions to
Mrs Sage, who is some years his junicr.
DR.. Bruce and Mrs. Sage have stated
that they had an equity in the property
to the amount of $4,000 each, but this is
denied by Mrs. Aldrich. Mrs. Simmons
and Luther visited the Aldrich house
to-day, but neither DR.. Bruce nor Mrs.
Sage could be found and it is learned
that they had departed from the place
Friday night. Telephone messages
were sent out to various surrounding
villages in an endeavor to locate them,
but without success. Efforts will be
made however to learn their where
abouts, and apprehend them.

LIHUNG CHANG As CHINA'S ENJOY
Question of Accepting Him still an
Open One.

Washington, Aug. est is quite evil
dent from the conferences held this af-
ternoon at the state department that
the statement, made early in the day,
to the effect that the matter of accept
ing Ii Hung Chang as a proper per-
son with whom the powers might nego-
tiate Is still an open issue, was cor
rect Otherwise it would not have been
necessary for the officials to enter into
a laborious comparison of the texts of
the credentials supplied by Ii Hung
Chang to the various powers Of Europe
as we'll as Japan and the United States.
Past experience with some OF the Chi
nese DEGREES has shown very radical
differences in the translations and as so
much turns on the form of Earl LIS
credentials 1t is regarded as highly i'm
portant that these shall be shown to
agree in each case.
The statement is made that the Rus
sian government for one is willing to
deal with Ii, of course, upon properly
framed credentials, and this appears to
be borne out by the earnestness with
which Mr.. Wolant Is seeking to i'm
press upon the state department the en-
tire agreement between Russia and the
United States as to China. At least he
insists that Russia wishes to prevent
the dismemberment OF China and also
that her animating purpose now is the
restoration of order and the safeguard
ing of the future. Under these limita-
tions it is urged here that Russia's OBJ
jects can be achieved as we'll as those
of the United States by dealing with
Ii Hung Chang, who occupies the ad-
vantageous position of being the only
Chinese personage so far officially ac-
credited as a peace plenipotentiary
One of the officials of the government
to-day said: The United states is not
going to turn tail and run because some
of the powers show a disposition to
break a compact under which we be-
came allies in China. The powers ac
cepted the note of Secretary Hay of
July as basis for joint action, and
they will be held to that agreement
The question of actual force in China is
secondary-one regiment of United
States troops is as good 100000 men to
establish a principle An indignity Of
fered to them would be resented as
quickly as if we had 100000 men on
Chinese soil, and the United States gov
ernment is willing to try the case as to
whether one thing could be said on July
3 and accepted by all the powers, and |

further news Of the alleged detention

Chtna's Representative.
Washington, Aug. 28.-The state de-
partment has received nothing of any
intention to interfere with the move
ments of Ii Hung Chang. The report
from the French admiral at Taku TO the
contrary is believed to refer to an in
cident of the past and not to the situa-
ton as it stands to-day. When LII
Hung Chang contemplated a visit to
Pekin by way of Taku and the Pho Ho,
the foreign admirals at Taku, at the
time ranking representatives of their
governments, held a counsel Of war to
determine the question as to the amount
of freedom to be allowed Ii in commu-
nicating with the authorities at Pekln
1t was then announced that the ad-
mirals had proceeded, in view OF the
fact that hostilities were actually in
progress that sound military practice
required that Ii Hung Chang should
be kept under a strict surveillance. BY
imputation this carried the idea that Ii
might be kept not on board foreign
warship, but aboard his own transport
in the harbor at Taku at the pleasure of
the foreign admirals. Neither Admiral
Remey nor Admiral Kempf gave their
sanction to this project and it is said
here that when Ii abandoned the Pekin
trip by water the project was dropped.
1t is a singular fact that Ii Hung
Changs whereabouts are not known
here. At last accounts he was at Shang-
hal; not in the foreign quarter, but
away back in the Chinese arsenal, and
even with the aid of the foreign naval
force now at Shanghai it would be diff
cult to prevent his escape inland if Earl
Lii should determine to retire from
Shanghai.
Nothing has been heard from him by
our government since the 10Th instant.
1t Is said at the navy department that
Admiral Remey, who is watching mat
ters closely at Taku has not commu-
nicated with the department to-day and
it Is presumed that an event of the i'm
portance of the decision said to have
been reached by the admirals would
promptly have reached the department
from him. The Chinese embassy also is
ignorant of the whereabouts of Earl Lii
