NO IMPORTANT MOVEMENT

N hNA MOF EN- ENI
Washington, Aug ~ The depart
ment OF state makes public the fol.
lowing dispatch from Minister Con.
ger, received this morning:
Taku. Aug q.
Secretary of State, Washington:
No more important movements
since last dispatch. Military to re.
store order No representative Of
the Chinese government encountered
yet Several ministers of the tsung
Ii yamen reported in the city and
are expected to appear soon. Gen.
erals decide not to enter imperial
palace, leaving it practically vacant
Two thousand Germans arrived to.
day.
Conger.
This dispatch is undated, but from
the TACT that it mentions the arrival
OF German forces at, Pekin, which
has not yet been reported from apy
other quarter, it is presumed to be Of
very recent origin.
Unfortunately the dispatch lacked
a date. the minister presumably not
having yet received the departments
instruction to include the date in the
body of bis dispatches. From inter.
nal evidence the state department
concluded that Mr. Copger's message
was certainly later than any official
emanation from the Chinese capital.
Mr. Congers's reference to the arrival
OF 1000 fresh Germans troops caused
some surprise, no one apparently
having closely watched the move
ments of the German contingent,
which is now arriving with fairly
regular frequency in China, and
which consequently may be expected
soon to equal to numerical strength
the military con.ingents of any of the
European nations there represented
A Significant statement in Minister
Conger's dispatch is that respecting
the expected appearance in Pekin of
some of the members of the Tsung Ii
yamen. A natura. construction 60 be
given to this statement is that these
ministers wish to undertake to re-
present the Chinese government for
maiIy in negotiations with the
powers 1t having been found i'm
possible up to this moment, according
to MIR Conger's statement; to meet
any representative of the Chinese
government in Pekin who was CON.
petent to open negotiations, it may
be Inferred that if these ministers
actually appear with proper creden.
tiaIs. one of the problems connected
with the present difficult situation in
China will be solved

Laugh and Grow Fat

i
Have q good time; enjoy
yourself wherever you are.
You will live longer and live
healthier for it. Man is a Pc
culiar animal, and woman is
scarcely less. There are too
many people in the world al
ready who find fault from a
mere habit and spend valuable
time in kicking.
Every thread of gold is val
liable; so is every minute of
time.
Some one has said that it
is almost as difficult to make a
man unlearn his errors as his
knowledge. If people will not
be counselled they can not be
helped. If you cast your eyes
over the successful men. either
business or professional. you
will find he is cheerful-cheer-
fulness leads to a successful
