MESSAGE is SENT
MINISTER C0NGER

Washington, July 1S.-The Chinese
minister, Mr.. Wu has undertaken to
get through a cipher cable. message
from Secretary Hay TO United States
Minister Conger at PeBin and to de-
liver the reply of Minister Conger If
he be alive
Mr. WI forwarded the cipher dis
patch together with an extended ex-
planatOry message of his own, on
Wednesday.
Some days must elapse before run
ners can carry out this plan of open
ing up communication between the
American government at Washington
and the American minister at Pekin.
Since the Chinese government haS
succeeded in getting through its own
communication from Pel1in MI Hay
felt that il was quite reasonable to
ask that like communication be 0pen4
ed between our minister and the gov
eminent here. Mr.. Wa readily assent
ed to this proposition and eVinced an
earnest desire to use all his personal
influence in getting through the mes
sage.
He suggested. however. that Mr.. Hay
himself should write the message in
cipher as this would be proof positive
to MIR. COngeT of its genuineneSS,
whereas any open message to the min
lister might be under the suspicion Of
having eminated from the Boxers.
Mr.. Hay thereupOn wrote the mes
sage and had il translated into the Of
fetal cipher of the state department.
Mr.. WI determined to act through
the medium of an influential imperial
officer at Shanghai, who. by reason Of
mis- position, is better able than any
one else in China to undertake such
mission. The official was urged TO
spare no effort or expense in forward
ing the message by cOuriers, runners or
any other means, into the hands Of
Minister COnger and 20 take like means
in getting back the answer 70 the
American government.
Two days have now elapsed since the
message to Mr.. COngeT went forward
and it is confidently believed that il is
now on its way from Shanghai to
Pekin, surrounded by such safe
guards and such efforts for speed that
a reasonably early answer may be ex-
pected. At the same time it is remem-
bered that it took ten days for China :

Searched His Cell.
/ 1t is customary at the penitentiary
to search the prisoners and overhaul
their cells only when they least sus-
pect it. The inmates may be at dinner
or at work in the yard, or in their cells,
but when the order is given by the
warden every spot is carefully gone
over. and at times some interesting
discoveries are made.
1t was during one of these general
OVerhaulings one day this week that
Maxwelrs clever work was detected.
The guard who searched his cell came
upon a piece OF iron pipe secreted in
his bunk. He at first thought it was
intended as club, hut a closer inSpec-
ton revealed the startling fact that
Maxwell had actually manufactured a
firearm.
The bank robber had gone about his
work carefully enough, and had re-
duced to a minimum his chances of be
ing detected. BY some means he took
a piece of common pipe about one inch
in diameter and eight inches long from
the foot railing of his iron bed, and.
bending the end to the form of
handle. filled that part of it with lead,
thus leaving the shape OF a barrel and
pistol grip He then reamed out
barrel as smoothly as any machine
could have done it, but how is still
mystery. BY the same mysterious
means he drilled a touch-hole in the
top of the piece, and that is as far as
his work had proceeded when the
lucky discovery was made.
How He Made Povpdar
But that was not the extent of the
achievement In addition to the gun,
which might be called a toy cannon.
having that shape, a lot of lead slugs
and scraps of iron. TO be used as am
munition, were encountered. Then the
guards came across about a pint of
heads of parlor matches, ground rather
finely. With this discovery the pris-
oner's whole plan became clear. The
matches were taken out and tested in
a standard rife, and to the surprise of
every one the stuff proved as effective
as gunpowder, being persuasive and
easily explosive.
Maxwell doubtless had conceived
means OF discharging his weapon by
conclusion. A spring connected with
the toueh-hole would have this eff

the weapon in effecting his escape
while being brought to town to testify
in a criminal case having been told
that he would be Subooenaed within
the next few weeks. He could have
smuggled the weapon from his cell, it
is thought, and at an opportune time
would have shot his guard. Those who
have seen the offspring of his ingenuity
say there would have been no doubt as
to his 2bilit- TO do so.
