cONGER INDETS CHINA.
SAYS Imperial Cavalry Bombarded
the LEGATIONS.

Saws Imperial Cavalry Bombarded
the Legations.
A long dispatch from Minister Conger
was received at the State Department
in Washington Monday night giving a de-
tailed report of the condition of AFFAIRS
in Pekin since June 20. Mr.. Conger
said that a few days after the fall OF
Taku forts the Tsung-li-Yam broke Oh
communication with the foreign ministers
and gave orders that the diplomats leave
the city. Believing that to do this meant
certain massacre, Mr.. Conger goes on to
state. the ministers refused to vacate,
thereupon the imperial government or
dered the imperial forces to attack ID
force the legations.
He SAYS that failing to take the lega-
tons by infantry attack the Chnese
troops brought artillery into play, and for
over three weeks the legations were SUBJ
iected to continued heavy bombardment
The Pekin imperial army made repeated
and determined attacks and attempted to
carry the legation defenses and it was
only through the gallant and heroic stand
of the marine guards that the Chinese
failed to capture the legations. The por'
tion of the message outlined above was
suppressed by the department.
The Government has been anxiously
waiting to hear from Mr.. Conger and
while the revelation he makes is start
ling. the officials were prepared for just
what they got. Mr.. Conger's statement
that the Chinese made a desperate at
tempt to exterminate the foreigners the
night before the relief army arrived In
dicates that the Chinese knew the foreign
army would take the city in a few hours
and that they wanted to destroy all evi
dence Of their duplicity by killing the
foreigners. As the imperial government
directed the attacks on the legation which
constituted declaration of war, it is
said that no peace overtures will be ac
cepted which do not embody complete
surrender.

The Mistake.

"Where we made our mistake was in
not following a method which obtains
among some modern manufacturers.
We ought to have bought up all the
patents pertaining to the invention and
then suppressed them, so that people
would have to go on fighting in the old

Characteristically Topsy-Turvy.

Labor in China varies in it's efficiency
according to place and, curiously unlike
Europe, seems to vary inyersely with
the temperatures Of the climate. At
Tien-tsin and the northern ports it
takes much longer to load and unload
cargo than at the ports of the Yang Use,
and the husbandry OF the soil shows
less care in the northern provinces than
it does lower down.

MoLINEUX CASE DELAYED.
Illness Of Juror Brown Prevented
Close of Arguments

NEW YORK. Feb. S-The case of Ro-
land B. Molineux. charged with the MUIR
Ger of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams, did
not go to the jury, as had been hoped
Juror Mannheim Brown whose illness has
already delayed the trial two weeks, was
taken III with indigestion at the noon re-
cess and was unable to return to the
court this afternoon. His illness is not
serious, however, and the trial will go on
tomorrow in all likelihood.
In his argument for the prosecution
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
made vigorous defense of Harry Cor
nish Referring to the insinuations that
Cornish was the guilty man, Mr. Osborne
exclaimed
Isn't it enough to send man the poi
son, with which the most dreadful crime
of the century was committed? Must
you satisfy yourselves with intimating in
open court that an innocent man was
guilty Of this dastardly crime? I know
that you, Mr.. Weeks, do not think for
one minute that Harry Cornish had any
hand in this crime"
After a controversy between counsel
as to the inference to be drawn from
Molineux's failure to testify, Recorder
Golf stated to the jury:
''The defendant had the right to go on
the stand or not as he saw fit. His fail
ure to go on the stand is not to be con-
, sidered by you as an argument of guilt"
Mr. Osborne asked. II the defendant had
not been conscious of guilt why the de-
Tense had not summoned Molineux's en-
pioyers, why it had not summoned Heiles
and Gallagher, friends of his, to disprove
what the handwriting experts said against
him.
"What man in such situation" Mr..
Osborne asked, with wide sweep of his
hand, with his life and reputation at
stake if conscious of innocence would
not have filled this court room with wit
nesses Mr.. Weeks only defends the de-
PENDANT mother and his father"
Mr.. Osborne characterized Mr.. Weeks
attempts to direct suspicion to Cornish
as weak and insufficient attempt to
bolster up his weak case. He said all the
testimony had supported Cornish.s state
ments; that Cornish's conduct had been
very different from Molineux's; that Cor
nish had sought light, and that MolineGx
had Stunned It,
