VAN WICK ON THE STAND.
City officials and the American Ice Company
Investigation Begun.
(By the Associated Press. }

New York, June 9.-Mayor Van Wyck
was called to the witness chair today in
the proceedings against the Mayor, the
Dock Commissioners, and Charles w.
Morse President of the American Ice
Company, which were begun some time
ago before Supreme Court Justice Gay
nor in Brooklyn. These proceedings are
designed to show what, if any, connection
exists between certain city officials and
the ice company.
The Mayor testified that he owned 1920
shares of the stock in the American Ice
Company which he had obtained from
President Morse, some of it in exchange
for stock in the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany of Maine.
Did you purchase all this stock subse
quently to becoming mayor of the city?'
Mr.. Van Wyck was asked.
Il did"
why did you purchase stock in the
Knickerbocker Company"
Because it was paying 4 per cent on
common and per cent on preferred
stock"
When he made the purchase he did
not know that the American Ice Company
intended to do business in New York
city. He had paid for his stock with a
check on the Garfield National Bank and
borrowed 10 per cent OF the purchase
money.

were made to Mayor Van Wyck, but that
$4,000 was loaned to President Morse of
the Ice Company. Mr.. Morse testified

to Admiral Kempff at Taku and that
vessel is already on her way. Though
an old ship, the Monocacy is admirab-
Iy adapted to this kind of service,
drawing only nine feet of water and
carrying a very good secondary bat
terry. Her personnel is II officers and
1i6 men. The Castine and Yorktown
also are at Shanghai and can be drawn
upon. according to Admiral Remey's
dispatch, by Admiral Kempff if he
wants more men. These vessels are of
1000 and 100 tons displacement re-
spectiyely. with batteries the same
as the Nashville. The Castine's per-
sonnet is IL officers and ZAP men: the
Yorktown's IA officers and 1Sl men.
Minister Conger's daily report was
even less encouraging than usual. In
his cablegram to Secretary Hay this
morning he said that the situation
was unimproved; that the burning
of railroad plants continues and that
owing to the inertness of the Chinese
troops it will be necessary to employ
foreign troops to protect the railways.
The State Department has not
deemed it necessary to send any
specific authorization to Minister
Conger to employ the United States
naval forces at Tien .Tsin and Pekin
in guarding the Chinese railways. and
he is free to exercise his own discre-
ton i'm that respect.
The State Department officials felt
that the action taken by the Navy
Department in the dispatch of naval
vessels TO the scene of trouble. and
the landing of naval forces. represents
all that can be done, or at least all
that should be done. by the United
States at this moment. The Depart
ment remains mistaken in its atti-
tude. and while willing to work on
parallel lines with the other powers
to restore peace in China, insists on
retaining its independence of action
When attention was directed to the
probability that the United States
naval forces ashore at Tien Tsin
might be called upon to join with the
foreign naval contingents in the de
fence of the town or the railroad it
was pointed out that this action would
be purely military and would not con
stitute Joint action from Il political
point of view.
The foreign embassies and legations
in Washington are Intensely interest
ed i'm the developments in China. and
applications are frequent at the State
Department from them for the latest
news as to what is going on. There
is a strong desire on the part of those
diplomats, probably based on some
thing broader than personal curiosity
to learn what are the inientions OF
the United States Government. II
appears that the State Department sbas
dealt frankly With, such inanirIes, and
has made no concealment of its policy
OF non-interference beyond point
necessary to protect American life
and property. 1t is deemed entirely
proper. hoNzver, to move along The
same lines as those followed by Eu
rOpean nations toward the establish
ment of this object. so that, where

SYMPATHY FOR THE BOXERS.
Imperial Edict Published Denouncing General
Mich For Killing Rioters
(By the Associated Press. }

Tien Tsin, June S.-(Friday.)-In view
of the conclusive confirmation of Imperial
connivance in the boxer movement furn-
ished by an edict published today de-
nouncing General Mich ST Chong for kill
ing some of the rioters, the strongest ac-
ton of the powers. it is asserted here,
can alone remedy the situation which has
assumed the gravest aspect. The edct
is couched in such terms that it leaves
no doubt of the deep sympathy of the
throne with the boxers, who are de-
scribed as good citizens" Besides de-
nouncing General Mich for killing the
boxers, the edict orders him to return
with his troops to Loopai eighty miles
from the scene of the disturbances.
1t is claimed that the first steps of the
powers of the preservation of foreign life
and property ought to be the assumption
of control of the railroad to Pekin.

London, June 9.-The situation in
China tonight appears distinctly
graver. The destruction of a Russian
chapel at Tung Tingan has provided
Russia with the desired preteXt to
land more troops.
this afternoon that the Government
is resolved, if the dangerous situation
in China continues to take immed-
late military action to repress the an
tiforeign movement, at the same
time declaring that it has no inten-
ton of disassociating itself from the
joint action of the powers may be
regarded as a semi-official utterance
meaning that if there is any hest
fancy on the part of the powers Rus
STA will act alone.
All reports agree that the Boxer
movement is spreading. The report
is confirmed that the French agents
at Mong Use and Yum Nan Flu have
been compelled to retire, and this
shows that the ferment has reached
Southwestern China and has proyoll
ed France into taking active steps.
Sir Claude Macdonald. British
Minister at Pekin has wired the Brit
ish Consul at Shanghai confirming
the reported outrages and the fact
that the Throne and Government have
been actuated by Il secret sympathy
with the Boxer movement. which the
Government has ample power to sup
press if it so desired. His dispatch
however. is in no way of an alarmist
nature.
The latest Tien Tsin dispatch say
ing that the Dowager Empress has
appointed anti-foreign generals with
the pretended mission to suppress
the Boxers makes it impossible tC
doubt that the time has ,arriXed fol-
energetic action.
