cluded his address as permanent

NEAR PEKIN'S GATES.
The Allied Armies Reported TO BE within
Sixteen Miles OF the Chinese
Capital.

London, Aug. 15.-The only news
which takes the advance upon Pekin
further than Ho-Si-Wu comes from
Paris. The London morning papers
contain nothing to confirm the
French report that the allies are
within 16 miles Of Pelsin, although q
Che Foo dispatch is printed saying
that they were within 81 miles Of the
goal on Saturday. Combining the re-
port of the arrival of the interna-

Nails correspondent adds: 1.-THE
Chinese offered little real opposition.
The arrival of the allies frustrated q
determined attempt to divert the
course Of the river. The heat is in
tense, but the health of the troops Is

The Chinese minister in London,
Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh, Is
quoted as saying that he hoped and
believed that peace would be estab-
lished between China and the powers
within the next six weeks. Yester-
day he transmitted to the British
foreign office another message from
the British minister in Pekin, Sir
Claude Macdonald, the contents Of
which the officials have thus far re-
fused to make public.

MESSAGE FROM c0NoER.


Washington, Aug. 15.-At the close
of the official day ut the state de-
partment the following official an
nouncement WINS bulletined: "The
department Of state announces that
. message from Minister Conger has
been received, but Of uncertain date,
and not in reply to the telegram sent
to him on August 8. 1t will not be
made public" This came ut the con-
clusion of q period Of intense ex-
pectancy, and yet one devoid Of any
actual developments, save In the
foregoing meager announcement.
Minister Conger's message was re-
ceived in Washington shortly before
noon, coming first to the Chinese le-
cation, by tho usual route through
Chinese officials. It was in the Amer
lean cipher, without date and signed
with the minister's name. 1t was at
once transmitted to the state depart
ment, and conferences began between
Acting Secretary Adee and Secretary
Root. Throughout the afternoon,
however, the state department main
tanned an unaccountablc reticence
concerning the subject, declining to
admit that the message was in hand.
The suspense was cleared up at four
o'clock by the above announcement.
1t was stated authoritatively that
while the message was Of conflden-
tial character, and for that reason
could not and would not be given
out, yet, Us n means Of allaying pos
sible misinterpretation, 1t could be
said that the dispatch showed
neither better condition nor q worse
condition on the part of the legation
ers ut Pekin. II did not indicate
whether Minister Conger has or has
not received any messages from this
government. Nothing was contained
in the message which will cause any
change in the instructions to Gen.
Chaffee. In fact, IL was stated in this
same authoritative quarter that the
only additional instructions sent to
Gen. Chaffee since he left Washing
ton were those of q more specific and
explicit nature, which the develop
ments in China and the information
received by the war department
necessitated.
While the war department has no
specific information rs to the future
movements of Gen. Chaffee, IL is
thought that he may have covered the
20 miles between Ho-Si-Wu and Tung
Show. The Pei river makes n great
bend between Ho-Si-Wu and Matow,
the next town of Importance on the
road. 1t is n low, marshy country,
where the river doubles back on it.
self in its effort to get forward. The
road here cuts across country, reduc-
ing about 25 miles Of boat travel to II
miles of deep and almost impossible
road journey through swamps and
quagmires. This country presents
no defensive features, but about eight
miles beyond Matow comes the impor-
tant city of Ching Chai-Wan. This is
strong defensive point, where the
Chinese will make stand II they
make it at all, this side of Pekin.
