ed that $4,000 foreign troops were
ashore, and the dispatch from IL Hung
Chang, dated Canton, was as follows.
"The legation ministers, having left
Pekin. are now 12 miles from Tien
Tsin. with Admiral Seymour"
Minister WI, who brought LIS mes
sage to the state department, could
not explain away the points Of vari-
ance between the yiceroy's statements
and the cable messages received from
other sources. However. he pinned his
faith to the accuracy Of the message,
and pointed out that It agreed closely
with Admiral Kempff's message OF
Wednesday, stating that the minis
ters We're reported to be with Sey-
mour.
The navy department has had fur
ther communication with Admiral
Kempff, in the shape Of two messages,
but in neither was there any mention
of the ministers. One consideration
which makes against the unreserved
acceptance by the officials Of the as
surance of minor Chinese officials, in
Guiding III Hung Chang and Minister
WI, that a state of war does not exist
is the fact that Mr.. Conger is not
permitted to communicate with his
own government by the same means
employed by the tsung-li-yamen in
getting news to the outside world
leading to a suspicion that he Is not al
that perfect liberty which marks the
existence of a state of peace. Ii i.
possible that the Chinese government
may be able to offer a satisfactory ex
PLANTATION on this point, but at present
the officials say that our future rela
tions with China depend altogether
upon what Minister Conger has to say
when he is finally brought again IL
touch with the state department.

Judge Dickey. in the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn, appointed Edward G.
Riggs and Otto Kelsey receivers for the
Republic Savings and Loan Association
Of Manhattan. A motion for the ap-
pointment Of a receiver for this cor
poratlon was made several days ago by
the attorney general. represented by
Edward p. Coyne Mr. Coyne said the
company should be declared insolvent
because Of deficiency of S2l9OO0.
According to the contention OF the
Republic Savings and Loan Associa-
ton, OF No. 207 Broadway, its troubles
are due to a determination OF Super
intendont Kilburn, of the Banking De
partment, TO have every similar associ.
alton IN the state declared insolvent.
II am willing to go on record, said
Franklin b. Case, Jr., first vice-presl-
dent and general manager Of the asso-

CONGER IS DOUBTLESS
HELD UNDER RESTRAINT

Washington, June Yesterdays
developments in Chinese affairs were
meager, and the general opinion here
is that the two messages received-one
from Kempff and the other from Ii
Hung Chang-could not be accented as
settling the important question as to
the fate of the foreign minister's at
Pekin and their families and attaches.
The secretary of the navy, by special
instructions of the president, had been
particular to cable Admiral Kempff
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 yesterday morning to
the whereabouts of the ministers was
based on the absence of any informa-
ton on that subject at Taku, where the
admiral is with his flagship. the Newark
And if no information could be had al
Taku, only 80 miles down the river
from Tien Tsin, of the presence of the
ministers IN Admiral Seymour's col
umn. but eight miles distant, then Of
ficials here cannot understand how any
other government could have superior
facilities, and so they felt justified in
waiting for further advices before ac-
cepting the Chinese statements on thai
point as accurate.

yesterday which would seem to indi-
cate that the recent holding Of Judge
Addison Brown that the Indictment Of
a federal grand jury counts for little
is judicially repudiated in this state.
c. H. Wright was arrested on a
capias issued from the district court
of Kentucky on an indictment charg-
ing him with the use of the mails with
intent to defraud. The prisoner was
taken before Judge Speer, who at once
bound the accused over for trial in
Kentucky. Judge Speer, in taking this
action, said:
1T will be observed that the court
does not require proof that the grand
jury in Kentucky had probable cause
for it's action. 1t is presumed to have
done its duty, and the accused will be
bailed or removed for trial"
Referring to the attempts to secure
the return to this state of individuals
charged with aiding Capt. Carter in
defrauding the government Judge
Speer said that under the existing
system powerful men who violate
laws made for the safety of the re
public can snap their fingers at the

THREE AMERICANS ARE KILLED
Ii Hung Chang'S Statement That En-

Americans-Killed, 3; wounded, 2.
British Killed. 2; wounded, 1.
Germans-Killed, Is; wounded, 20.

After the relieving force pushed on
to relieve Admiral Seymour, Chinese
regulars under Gen. Mich, says dis
patch from Shanghai, again attacked
Tien Tsin fiercely and bombarded the
foreign settlement with a terrible fire.
Col. Dorward, British, commanded
the column that relieved Admiral Sey-

in the achievement. The admiral was
found entrenehed and surrounded by
immense masses of Chinese, who were
driven off by the relieving force af-
ter a brisk fight Seymour's men had
made brilliant resistance, never fall

uous fighting During ten days the
men were on quarter rations. They
started with provisions for ten days
and they could have held out a day or
two longer.
The column was a few miles beyond

to break through the hordes. Admiral
