OF sectional teachings as to the justice

AT the close Of Gen. Shaw's speech

spoken briefly before and his appear-
ance again caused considerable of a
surprise. The enthusiasm Quoted in

BRITISH NOT CONVINCED.

They Believe the Chinese Have FAX
ed "a Message with Conger's Name
TO 1t.
LONDON, July 19.-4 a. m.-The
Conger dispatch fails to carry convic-
tion to either the British press or pub
lie. It's genuineness is not disputed,
for, as is pointed out here, the Chinese
must possess quite a sheaf OF such
messages which the ministers Ruthless
ly endeavor TO get transmitted, by
which they could easily secure the non
committal dispatch to serve the re-
quirel purpose.
1t is supposed thai Mr.. Conger omit
ted to destroy the cipher code and this
is now in the possession of the Chinese,
In which event the selection or concoc-
tion of the dispatch would not be diff
cult. 1t is argued that the dispatch,
II it were a genuine reply to the in
quiries Of the American government,
would go more into details A slight
ray of hope is admitted in the fact that
both Mr.. and Mrs. Conger are known to
have been on very friendly terms with
the empress dowager, but the universal
opinion here is that, If the dispatch is
genuine, the date is falsified

basis commensurate with the manhood
OF the sides engaged in the great strug-
gle, let US settle it on basis of that
immaculate truth, thai oopn sides were
fighting for the constitution of their
forefathers."
Gen. Shaw responded gracefully to the
Generals exception. He stated that he
had prepared his speech with care and
much of the material therein was gained
from speeches made by Gen. Gordon in
the North.
Our children should be taught" said
Gen. Shaw. "the true glory and sublimity
of our one country; their fathers will
teach them this. Let them be so alike,
the children of the North and of the
South. that no difference will be percep-
tible"
This incident closed with three cheers
for the blue and the gray.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 20.-Gen. John
B. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the
United Confederate eVterans, disobey-
ing his physicians orders, was present
with the other distinguished veterans
at the blue and grey veterans barbecue
this afternoon, and sat side by side
with Gen. Albert D. Shaw, commender-
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. All the invited guests made
speeches, but the second on the pro-
gramme, that of Gen. Shaw, did not
please Gen. Gordon, and for a time re-
Cancellation was forgotten. Gen.
Shaw's speech was for the most part
conciliatory in tone and was well re-
ceived, yet his reference to the manner
in which all memories of the great
struggle should be blotted out in the
families of the South was not received
with the favor hoped for. In his
seech he uttered these words:
What l am anxious to see is the
disappearance of all unworthy re-
minders of the terrible conflict and
the entire present unity and righteous
ness over all the union. There can now
be but one ideal of American citizen
ship, one stars and stripes, one bull
wark Of future national glory and one

SHANGHAI MENACED.

SHANGHAI, July 19.-The Boxer
menace is hourly approaching nearer.
Shanghai city and the foreign settle
ments are full of suspicious charac-
tiers, and in the native quarters a
continually increasing number of arm
ed Chinese are arriving from the
north.
The troops in the Woo Sung forts
are being reinforced daily and a num-
her of new guns have been placed in
position.
The foreign consuls to-day present.
ed united protest against these often
sive preparations. Viceroy Lii Kun
Yih replied that he had ordered the
work of strengthening the forts to
cease Immediately, but the local COM
mander still persisted in the opera
tions and refused to heed the viceroy's
circumstances.
These forts completely command
Shanghai, and the guns already mount
ed are capable of blowing the foreign
settlements to pieces in twelve hours.

CoRROBoRAT1vE DISPATCHES.

The fact that the cablegram from
Minister Conger was given scant
credence in London official circles
had no dampening effect upon the
optimism of the administration
officials. 1t was pointed out by one
of the officials interested that the
weight OF internal evidence in the
message was in favor of its genu-
ineness. Beside there were the
several strongly corroboratiye de-
spatehes from Consul Goodnow
and Consul Fowler. The fact that
Minister Conger mentioned the
bombardment of the British lega-
ton was considered good evidence
that the despatch was not written
subsequent to the sixth, as the best
information here is that the bonn
bardment of the legations did not
begin prior to that date. 1t was
said at the State Department that
it was not thought expedient to
give out either the text or a para
phrase of the message sent by the
State Department, July II, to Min
lister Conger.

THEY WERE SAFE.

LONDON, July 21.-4 a. m.-Sir Hal
liday Mccartney, counsellor and Eng
lish secretary to the Chinese legation
in London, who was interview yester-
day, admitted that the legation was in
receipt of news which it was not yet
able to disclose. He added:
You may take it that on July 1S,
the date of the Conger message, all
the legations and Europeans in Pekin
were safe. l cannot say why the other
ministers are not able to communicate
with their governments, but there is no
reason why they should not use the
same channel as Mr.. Conger employed.
Perhaps supreme effort was made
for Mr.. Conger's message, and possibly
the Chinese do not realize the anxieay
existing in Europe"

Need Proper Food to Supply the
Brain.
The Medical Sentinel" comments on
the restless brain worker of our large
cities and refers to the fact that he
thinks he knows as much about the
needs of the brain, when he is tired
and shows brain flag, as a trained prac
toner.
He is inclined to spur up the tired
organs by some stimulant or perhaps
quiet It's complaints with the narcotics
OF tobacco, and this plan goes on until
suddenly he cOllapses, for brain flag is
sure sign that the elements that COM
pose the brain are being more rapidly
used up than replaced by the food.
There is really a choice of but two
pathways for an active brain worker-a
man of affairs-when he shows symp-
toms of breaking down. Either he
must quit work or he must have food
that will replace the structure of brain
and nerve centers as rapidly as they
are used up each day.
Chemical ANALYSIS of the narticles
thrown out through the pores of the
body shows that after continued brain
work, large portion of excreta con-
tains phosphate of potash. 1t is known
that when this element is furnished nv
the food in proper quantities, the sys-
tenn unites it with albumen and from
that compound makes the gray matter
. tat fills the nerve centers and the
brain.
This is an especial feature of the food
known as Grape-Nuts, a delicious.
ready-cooked and predigested break
fast food
A definite and well understood gain
in brain power and physical strength
will set in after Grape-Nuts have been
used eight or ten days, ana sustained
and continued brain work can be carried
on If reliance is placed upon this food
in connection with the ordinary food
of the day.
Grape Nuts Food Is sold at all first

GOV. BECKHAM NOMINATED.
The Honor Conferred at 3,O5, Yes
terday Morning, on the First Bal

lot.
LEXINGTON, KY, July 2O.-Gover-
nor Beckham was nominated by the
Democratic State convention for Gov
ernor of Kentucky by reclamation at
S:U5 o'clock this morning.
After the names of Judge Black, of
Barboursville, and Judge Tarvin, of
Newport were placed in nomination,
roll call of the convention was be-
gun. When Mclean county was reach
ed Beckham had the SAT votes neces-
sary to nominate. Then Black and
Tarvin's names were Withdrawn and
the latter moved that the nomination
OF Beckham be unanimous. The mo-
ton carried and Beckham was escorted
to the platform, where he made his
speech of acceptance.
The platform, after indorslng the
Kansas City platform, says:
The Democratic party recommends
that the election law of 1898, (known as
the Goebel law which was enacted to
prevent the repetition of we'll known
Republican frauds in certain districts
of the State and which was a marked
improvement upon the then existing
law, but which has not proved suft1-
Gent for that purpose, be amended to
secure this end so thoroughly that the
most 'hypocritical can find no excuse
for charging fraud or unfairness to our
party in the conduct of the election
Until such amendments can be en-
acted by the General Assembly, we de-
clare that the Republican party shall
have representation on both the State
and all county boards of election COM
misisoners
The lawless acts of the Republican
administration under Usurper Taylor
are recounted and condemned.
