FATE OF THE MINISTERS.
Nothin. Known of Their whereabouts
Officially

WASHINGTON, June oS.-The day
developments in Chinse affairs were
meagre, and the general opinion here is
that the two messages received-one from
Kempff and the other from Lii Hung
Chang-could not be accepted as setting
the important question as to the late
of the foreign ministers st Pekln ana
their families and attaches. The Secfe-
tary of the Navy, by special lnStructloii
of the President, had been particular 10
cable Admiral Kempff several days ago TO
keep the Navy Department informed OF
everything that happened within the
zone of the disturbance in China. and II IS
believed that his omission to make any
reference in his cablegram of this morn
ing to the whereabouts of the ministers
was based on the absence of any lntor-
nation on that subject at Taku Wnere
the Admiral is with his flagship, New
ark, and if no information could be had
at Taku, only thirty miles down the river
from Tien Tsin, Of the presence OF the
ministers in Admiral Seymour's column,
but eight miles distant. then the Depart
ment cannot understand how any Gov
eminent could have superior facilities
and so they felt justified in waiting for
further advices before accepting the
Chinese statements on that point
Minister W.T. who brought Lis mes
sage to the State Department, could not
explain away the points of variance be
tween the Niceroy's statement and the
cables received from other sources. How
ever. he pinned his faith to the accuracy
OF the message and pointed out that 1t
agreed closely with Admiral kem2ff
message of yesterday. stating that the
ministers were reported to be with Sey-
mour.
The Navy Department has had further
communication with Admiral kempff In
the shape of two messages. one touching
the strength of the foreign forces ashore
in China and another which the officials
stated had no bearing upon the military
situation, but in neither was there any
mention of the ministers.
One consideration which makes against
the unreserved acceptance by the officials
OF the assurance of minor Chinese officials
including Ii Hung Chang and Minister
WI. that state OF war does not exist, Is
the fact that Mr.. Conser is not permitted
to communicate with his own government
by the same means employed oy the
Tsung Ii Yamen in getting news to the
outside world, leading to a suspicion that
he is not at that perfect liberty which
marks existence Of a state of peace 1t
is possible that the Chinese Government
may offer satisfactory explanation on
this point but at present the officials say
that our future relations with China de-
pend altogether on what Minister ConGer
has to say when he is finally brought again
in touch with the State Department.
A significant piece of information fur
nished by the Navy Department is the re-
port OF the sailing of the Syndia from
Gibraltar for Cardiff for a cargo of Welsh
coal, which she is TO carry back to Manila
or China. The ship was on her way home
from Manila via the Mediterranean route.

IN FEDERAL CASES.
Georgia Judge Takes Strange Action
in Il Case.

MACON. GA. June 2S.-A striking incl
dent occurred in the United States Court
here to-day which would seem to Indicate
that the recent holding Of Judge Addison
Brown, that the Indictment Of d Federal
grand Jury counts for little, is judicially re-
pudiated in this State.
c. H Wright was arrested on captas
issued from the District Court OF Ken
lucky on an Indictment charging him with
the use OF the mails with intent to de-
fraud 4 certified copy OF the Indictment
was produced and proof OF the idenuhca-
ton OF the prisoner made before the COM
missioner The prisoner was then carried
before Judge Speer. who at once bound the
accused over for trial in Kentucky, and IN
taking this action said:
ut will be observed that the Court does
not require proof that the grand jury in
Kentucky had probable cause for Its action
It is presumed to have done its duty. ana
the accused will be baiied or removed for
trial. Should I hold otherwise the District
Attorney of Kentucky must come here
with his witnesses 10 prove that his grand
Jury did true presentments make Let
this be made essential or a part OF the
Federal procedure and it WILL occasion the
utter paralysis of the criminal prosecutions
in the United States courts in that multi
tuCe of cases where the accused Is enabled
enormous injury l have but to call atten-
ton to the fact that the District Attorney
OF this district is now in New York with
many witnesses seeking to satisfy a judi
cial officer there that a grand jury OF this
district was not without justification in
finding an Indictment charging certain de-
PENDANTS with conspiracy to embezzle pub
lie money in this district His presence
there is made obligatory As result the
criminal docket here cannot be disposed OF.
Perhaps hundred men charged with
crime can go hence or remain away with
out trial and all because the evidence
heard by grand jury of this district
must be reviewed by United States COM
missioner or judge in New York Let this
practice be established in every Federal
judicial district and Congress may leGis-
late all it pIeaseS against the evil Of the
day. yet criminals who violate laws made
for the safety of the republic can snap
their fingers at the officers OF the law
The laws themselves viii be nockery and
delay, defeat OF the government. dtsorsani-
cation and confusion will supplant the
pure and impartial administration of jus
tee which has CHARACTERIZED the national
courts from their organization to the pres
ent time"

TO MODIFY PLATFORM.
Maryland Delegation Will Oppose
Free Silver Plank.


Free Silver Plank.
BALTIMORE, MD, June 2S.-At a con-
ference of the Democratic leaders, Of this
State, held here yesterday, at which form
er United States Senator German ana
Governor John Walter Smith were present,
the course OF the Maryland delegation to
the convention at Kansas City was mapped
out.
1t was determined to make every proper
effort to prevent the passage OF Is TO l
platform the plank on the currency ques-
ton adopted by the late Democratic State
Convention in Maryland.
No effort will be made to oppose the
nomina ton of Mr. Bryan, of course, as
the convention practically endorses his
candidacy, but every legitimate means will
be employed by the delegation to prevent
the free-siver men from gaining complete
control of the party machinery. Senator
German will not attend the convention and
his place on the National Committee Will
be filled during the preliminary by Colonel
Victor Baushman.
There is some talk among the delegates
OF placing in nomination the name of Gov
idency Governor Smith has always been
regarded as gold-standard advocate, al
though both he and his party were silent
upon this point during the last guberna-
torial campaign, which resulted in MS
election as Governor. The delegation VIII
