G. Swallow of Pennsylvania, Hale
johnson of Illinois withdrawing his
name at the last moment and throwing
his strength to Woolley. This un-
doubtedly had great effect on the re-
suit, as the convention earlier in the
day had been nearly stampeded for
Swallow by an eloquent speech of
Homer L. Castle of Pittsburg, and had
the, friends OF the Pennsylvania clergy

suit might have been different. The

WASHINGTON IN DOUBT.
stii1 Anxious About safety of Ministers
af

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Yesterday's 8
developments in Chinese affairs were
meager, and tho general opinion here is
that the two messages received-one
from Kemlpff and the other from Lii
Hung Chang-could not be accepted
as settling the important question as to
the fate of the foreign ministers at Pc
king and their families and attaches.
The secretary of the navy, by special
instruction 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 i'll China, and it is believed that
his omission to make any reference in
whereabouts of the ministers was based
on the absence of any information on
the subject at Taku, where the admiral
is with his flagship, Newark. Minister
Wu could not explain away the points
OF variance between the viceroy's state.
ments and the cable messages received
from other sources Lis message is as
follows: 1.-The legation ministers hav-
ing left Peking, are now IL miles from
Tien Tsin with Admiral Seymour.
One consideration which makes
against the unreserved acceptance by
the officials of the assurance of minor
Chinese officials, including LII Hung
Chang and Minister WI. that a state OF
war does not exist, is the fact that Mr.
Conger is not permitted to communi-
cate with his own government by the
same means employed by the Tsung-li-
Iamen i'll getting news to the outside
world, leading to q suspicion that he is
not at that perfect liberty which marks
the existence of state of peace. 1t is
possible that the Chinese government
may be able to offer satisfactory ex-
planation 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 i'll
touch with the state department.

Trying to Come to an Understanding
In Regard to Transpacihc
Business.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-A very i'm
portant meeting of railroad men was held
today in the office of r. H. Countiss,
head Of the transcontinentai freight bu-
reau. 1t was q gathering of the traffic
managers of the transcontinental railroad
between this Coast and the Orient The
object of the meeting was to come to
some common understanding In regard to
transpacifio freight rates and to stop the
cutting that has been going on for some
time, to the great loss OF transportation
companies.
The conference was held in secret, and
was attended by about thirty traffic man
ayers.
The conference organized by electing J.
c, Stubs, OF the Southern Pacific. as
chairman.
The steamship representatives explained
the traffic situation In the Orient. Later
on those delegates were appointed spe-
cial committee to report tomorrow a plan
by which present conditions can be rene
died. 1t Is understood that the commit
tee will recommend an advance in many
of the rates on cargoes from the Orient to
this country via Pacific coast ports. 1t is
stated that the steamer lines have been
cutting the rates in question, until now
some Of them are lower than by the Suez
route But little change is to be made in
rates from this country to the Orient. A
few of the latter. especially on machinery,
may be reduced.
The committee is said to favor an IRON
clad agreement on the part of the steam
err lines and railroads for the maintenance
OF the proposed new tariff. 1t will also
propose. particularly as concerns freight
from the Orient. that the steamer lines
agree to a division OF the tonnage. II is
intimated that the rates on tea and silk
are to be advanced
