The following cablegram was received
this morning from Admiral Kempff:

The war department received the fol-

MAJ ARIH h
The general opinion here is that the
messages received, from Kempff and
from Ii Hung Chang could not be ac-
cepted as settling the important qUes-
ton as to the fate of the foreign min
listers at Pekin and their families and
attaches.
The secretary of the navy, by special
instruction of the president, had been
particular to cable Admiral Kemp1
several days ago TO keep the navy de-
partment informed OF everything that
happened within the zone of disturb
ance in China, and it is believed that
his omission to make any reference in
his cablegram of this morning to the
whereabouts Of the ministers was based
on the absence of information at Taku,
where the admiral is with his flagship,
the Newark.
The navy department has further
communication with Admiral Kempff
in the shape of two messages. one

forces here in China and another, which

One consideration which initiates
against the unreserWed acceptance by
the officials of the assurance of minor

war does not exist, is the fact that Mr..

cate with his own government by the

ture relations with China depend alto
gether upon what Minister Conger has
TO say when he is finally brought again
IN touch with the state department.
A significant piece of information fur

consuls in China had been embarrassed

Shanghai has heretofore been made a
neutral port during time of war by spe-
c1al agreement between foreign consllls
and the Chinese officials, and it is prob
able that a similar arrangement will
be made now. The only condition is
that before Withdrawing their naval

consuls must feel assured that the Chi

perfectly able to ensure Ghe safety of
the foreigners in the towns.

NAN FIRES PISTOL SHOT
IN FACE OF LITTLE BOY

noon. without any apparent reason or
cause, walked up to and deliberately
fired a pistol in the face of young Will
Malin while he was sitting on the bank
of an irrigating ditch or, the corner
of Second South and Fourth East
streets. The weapon was evidently
loaded with a blank cartridge, for the
boy was only injured by his face being
severely powder burned.
Young Malin, who lives in the rear
Of No. 237 South Fourth East, said that
about o'clock he left his home and
walked to the corner of Second South

Real Estate Dealers Present Petition
TO the Citv Treasurer.

City Treasurer Morris has been petit
toned by twenty-six licensed real es-
tate dealers of Salt Lake City to have
the license ordinance with respect to
dealers more rigidly enforced.
The petitioners represent that there
are many more people in the city Wh0
are dealing in real estate TO the same
extent as the licensed dealers, and
without taking out licenses, and they
declare that the practice is growing, the
business being transacted so secretly
that the license collector cannot appFe-
bend them. The dealers declare that II
must be stopped and ask taht the ylo-
Iators of the ordinance be forced TO
either take out licenses or stop the
practice.
A permanent committee has been ap-
pointed by the licensed dealers to re-
port those who are suspected, and some
interesting developments are looked
for.

SURPRISE IN SALT LAKE.
Wertz Creditors Will Be Glad to See
Him Back.

News of the arrest of Harry G. Wertz.
the late agent of the Armour company,
will come as a very pleasant surprise
to a number of Ms creditors in Salt
Lake.
As will be remembered, Wertz was
discharged from his situation here on
account of an alleged shortage IN his
accounts, and after he left it developed
that he was owing a great many bust
ness houses and had even cashed a
worthless check on a friend his doings
indicating that he had intended all
along to leave the country.
The Armour people said they would
not take steps to have Wertz arrested,
as their loss was fully covered by the
Fidelity company, Wertz's sureties. Il
is probable the latter concern caused
his arrest.
Those who heard of Wertz's arrest
last night were greatly surTised to think
he had been unwise enough to go back
to Omaha, where he is so well known.
