London, Aug. S--3:45 a. m.-"In case the troops advance, the Chinese must fight. The suggestion that the allies should be allowed to enter Pekin in or der to escort the ministers to Tien Tsin is absolutely impossible"
 This Is the dictum of Ii Hung Chang. It was transmitted last evening to Will liam Pritchard Morgan member of par 1iament for Merthyr Tydvil, by his agent at Shanghai.

 Sensational Rumors

London, Aug. S.--4 a. m-A Shanghai special says that official advioes from Tokio announce that armed collisions have occurred between parties of Rus sian and Japanese outside of Taku. This, however, as 1t comes by way of Shanghai, must await confirmation be- fore being credited.

 These messages have been sent to Lord Salisbury, accompanied by state ment by Mr. Morgan urging that the allies should take no step to endanger the lives of the ministers.
 A message from the Belgin minister, dated Pekin, August 9, seems effectual- ly to dispose of the rumors that the ministers have either left or are intend- ing to leave Pekin.

BOSTON NTI-IJIP PERIALISTS
Resolutions Adopted Free Silver Better
 Than Free Slaughter.

Boston, Aug 7.--About four hundred Boston marketmen and others opposed to the reelection of President McKin- ley because of the Philippine policy of the administration held a rally in Fa- neuil hall at noon to-day. Richard E.. Hersom presided and made an address ill which he severely criticised the re- publican party. On the platform were Hon. George s. Boutwell,, ex-governor of Massachusetts; Ganaliel Bradford, Erwin Winslow and other well known anti-imperialists The following reso- lutions were adopted:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting of citizens of Boston, assem- bled in Faneuil hall, that the present republican administration is responsi- ble for the unconstitutional develop ment of an imperial system which threatens the existence of the republic, and has been the cause of oppressive taxation, immense waste of treasure and the loss of thousands of human lives.
 The republican candidates for the of fees of president and vice president. who now offer themselves for the suf- frages of the people, demand the in- dorsement of this wicked and Hateful policy.
 We heartily condemn this policy, and in wishing Godspeed to the Massachu- setts delegation of the anti-imperialist liberal congress at Indianapolis August 15 we assure them of our reliance upon the wisdom of the congress, after due deliberation, in recommending an ef- fectual manner of rebukipg it.
 We believe that free silver is less se- rious than free slaughter; we depre- cate the appeal to the pocket at home and to the cannon abroad; the doctrine that Americans can be made rich by taxation and Filipinos righteous by force the practice of assimilation of lower races in Asia; and the malevo- lent dissipation of higher ideas in America.

Washington Aug. 7.--Another cable gram came to the state departmen late this afternoon from Minister Con ger at Pekin--the second that has beer received direct from him since June F It is the first which has come direct from the minister since the above date the other having been received through the intermediary of the Chinese minis ter here, MT. Wu. So important were the statements contained in to-day's dispatch that a conference was held by wire between several or the officials here and the president at Canton, last ing for several hours. At it's conclu- sion the cablegram from MT. Conger was made public as follows:
 "Tsi-Nan- Yamen, Aug. z.
 Secretary of State: Still besieged Situation more precarious. Chinese government insisting upon our leaving Pekin, which would be certain death. Rifle firing upon us daily by imperial troops. Have abundant courage, but little ammunition or provisions. Two progressive yamen ministers beheaded. All connected with legation of the United States we'll at the present moment.
 (Signed) "Conger."
 The cablegram came in the official cipher of the department. State depart 1nent officials say it may be a date not earlier than July 30th and perhaps not later than August 2. It Is checked by the telegraph company IS having been put on the wires at Tsi Nan, large city about eighty miles southeast of Pekin, on August [.
 Those who were at the white house in conference with the president includ- ing Acting Secretary Adee of the state department, Secretary Root and Adju tant General Corbin. What the result of the conference was the officials de- clined to say. Secretary Root did not care to make any statement tonight. The officials had been led to believe from the more recent dispatches that the condition of the legationers was much improved, but ro-days advices show very different aspect of affairs.
 Secretary Root stated late tonight that so far as he was aware there would be no change in the presidents inten- tions to return to Washington on the 18th inst.
 The word 'yamen' following the name of the city Tsi Nan. at which the cablegram from MT. Conger was put on the wires, as understood here, probably refers to the official building or resi- dence from which it was transmitted or at which it was received by courier from Pekin.
