WASHINGTON. July 21.-The doubt as to
the date OF the Conger dispatch received
cut by the State Department still con-
tinues. Wu still insists that the dispatch
came direct from Minister Conger and was
written July is. Secretary Hay continues
TO maintain the authenticity of the dis
patch, but is not so sure of its date. The
government officials who maintain that the
dispatch is all right do so on the following
grounds:
First-It was in the State Departments
secret cipher.
Second-It answered Secretary Hays re-
quest for tidings of Minister Conger's con-
dition.
Third-It puts the Chinese government,
by it's reference to Chinese troops engaged
In the attack, in the attitude of being re-
sponsible for the attacks on the legations
and committing hostile acts against the
European powers, Japan and the United
States.
Fourth-It called for quick relief.
Fifth-It is at variance with the Chinese
official statements sent out under Peking
date lines, that the government was en-
deavoring 10 protect the foreigners. there
fore. il is not likely that it was forged by
Chinese officials.
Sixth-It bears internal evidence in every
way OF having come from the American
minister, while the doubts raised are purely
speculative.
If the dispatch is all it purports to be
II is unfortunate that it was not so written
as to leave no doubt on that head. AS it
is. doubt will exist until the matter is set
tied one way or the other beyond all ques-
ton.
Special Agent Rockhill will sail for
China, Aug. %. Objections to his selection
for this mission are coming in from cer-
tain missionary quarters. 1t is a fact not
wholly creditable to American missionaries
in China that they have seldom been able
to get along with the official representa-
tives of their government in that distant
land So far as an unprejudiced observer
can tell from this distance the fault is in
almost every instance with the mission
aries. They are reported as willfully neg
lectful OF the methods laid for their pro-
cedure. they becoming a law unto them
selves in most cases, with the result as
seen in the past few weeks. Mr.. Rockhill

The mining interests of Colorado never
looked better than today" said Mr.. Amos
last night. "A great many OF the old sill
yer camps that were thought TO be dead
after the decentralization of silver have
taken on new life and are producing not
only more silver than ever before but are
taking their places as gold centres. This
is especially true of Leadyille, which at
one time was thought 10 be exclusively a
silver mining camp. But recent strikes
have demonstrated that Leadville is des-
tined to become one of the greatest gold
centres of the State. The output of gold
last year in Colorado was nearly S2G, 900 ,O00,
and since 1891 the State has produced over
SIS 600 900 in gold. The first three months
of this year show yield of over ST, 900 600.
More capital is being invested in the State
than ever before. Not only in mining
but in agriculture and stock raising and
as strange as it may seem, the value of
the agricultural products each year is as
great as that of its mineral output. The
industrial interests of the State are i'm
