prices and a big corn crop at satisfac tory prices. Cotton is already bring ing good profits to the grower; so that the agricultural classes, upon whom the business prosperity of the country chiefly depends, are in excellent condi- tion. The industrial classes are also enjoying a degree of prosperity much above the average; consequently there is every prospect of a large home con- sumption of staple goods and even lux uries during the coming fall and winter
 Our time money market is somewhat firmer. Call money is cheap because of the inactivity of speculation. There is no prospect of stringency. because funds are plentiful and the interior is so well supplied that crop demands upon eastern banks will be cOmpara- lively moderate Bank loans and the clearing house returns indicate much commercial activity notwithstanding the general reports of quiet. With the usual fall demands and gold shipments in prospect good rates for money may be expected but no special stringency is probable unless speculation becomes unexpectedly active. We are inclined to expect a better market after a while, but close watch must be kept on the foreign situation.

New York. Aug. 16.-The executive committee of the United Irish league of this city held a special meeting today to discuss the deportation Of BOer prisoners captured by Lord Roberts. having learned that 233 of them, in cluding :wenty-two Irish Americans. had been sent to the island of Ceylon- The committee decided to send the fol- lowing letter on the subject to Presi- dent Mckinley:
 We respectfully ask your attention to the news from Colombo. Ceylon that 23S prisoners of war. including twenty two American citizens, captured in South Africa by the British forces op- erating against the Boers. have been sent to, and arrived at Ceylon, whose climate is notoriously fatal to white men.
 Such a course on the part of Great Britain is in violation of the laws Of war which prescribe for prisoners of war such treatment while in the hands of the enemy, as will not menace their health nor restrict their liberty more than is necessary to rIstrain them from
 
 suming hostility to the captCrs, and is in most unfavorable contrast to the Christian kindliness and care extended by the Boers to those whom the for tune of war has placed within their hands.
 Sending of such prisoners into dis tant and indictment countries IS ex- pressly against international law. The United States provided against it early in their history-witness the treaty with Prussia in 1799. which definitely stipulated, by it's twenty-fourth article. that no prisoners of war, taken on either side, should be sent to the East Indies. This article was renewed by the treaty of 1928, and yet continu z, iD force.
 "The distinguished treatment so os- .tentatiously tendered by England to Americans. fighting on her behalf in the Beer war. tends to remind us that she recognizes the right of American citizens to take sides in the contest We are certainly, entitled to demand that those of them opposed to her shall receive when captured, the treatment accorded by civilized powers.
 We, therefore, respectfully request immediate action on the part of our government in the matter and that the attention of the government of G eat Britain be at once and emphatically directed to the violation of law com plained of, and further, that it be called upon to promptly release and compen- sate the American citiz So grossly outraged as such violat on of law has voided their capture

alton and the compulsory investment of some institutions in government bonds This bond transaction caused the shipment of about $SOOO, 900 gold and more is likely to follow during the next few weeks: but we are abundantly able to spare considerable amounts without inconvenience. and the relief to the London market will be behenicaI here.
 Affairs in the far east present upon the whole rather better aspect. Our government has again taken the initi- atfve in the attempt to bring China peaceably to q realization of her falsa position. The attitude of Washington throughout the whole crisis has been at once consistent. dignified and forceful and our secretary of state has received world wide commendation for his mas- terly handling of a very serious matter. Before communication with Minister COnger had been opened up the pro- posal of the Chinese government to con- duct the foreigners under escort to Tien Tsin was met by the reply that such an offer pre-supposed the ability on the part of the Chinese government 10 protect them III HeklQ. f1dNlnR failed to afford them proper protection. he now proposes that an armed force enter Pekin under a flag of truce in order to escort the foreigners from there to a place of safety from the revolutionary conditions. Under ex- isting circumstances this proposition is perfectly fair. and affords China a last opportunity to eXtricate herself from d perilous position. If it should be re- jected. of course all that remains is to march on in force and exact a full and comIlete reparation in the day pf reckoning.
 Waiting is the word that best de- scribeS the stock market. Activity is impossible with so many absentees: but these will soon be returning in full force from the mountains. from the seaside and from foreign shores. in- vigorated by change and ready, if not impatient, for any attractive form of activity. Just what the attitude of this class will be when they return is not easy to determine. The crop situation is generally satisfactory outside of the loss of about half the spring wheat crop of the Dakotas and Minnesota. A fair wheat crop is probable at good

A BUNCH OF RUMORS,
Including Even the Fall of the North
 Capital.

London, Aug 17.-(3:45 a. m.)-A cablegram to Vienna from Hong Kong announces tho capture of Pekin but the Austrian government, like other European powers, is still without con- firmation of this report. An official telegram dated Taku, August 14, has been received at Rome which asserts that the attack on Pekin began Mon day; that Sir Claude Macdonald. the British minister, had opened communi~ cation with the relieving forces, and that the allies have established their headquarters at Tung Chow.
 Chinese officials in Shanghai are re- ported as admitting that the allies in- fiicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese imperial troops around Tung Chow on Sunday. and then marched direct 10 Pellin. This. if true. carries the Jap- anese official adVices announcing the capture of Tung Chow, one step fur ther.
 The western powers, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from Kobe, have accepted the proposals for mulated by Japan for arranging an armistice. dependent upon the immedi> ate delivery of the foreign legations to the allies or the granting of permission to the allied forces to enter Pekin and to guard the legations. Upon this basis, the correspondent says, Japan has al ready begun to negotiate.

TERMS LAID DOWN
A Condition Precedent to Peace Must Be the Safe Delivery of the Legationers and Foreigners to the Allied Forces.-A Pathetic Appeal By Ii Hung Chang Against the Shaking of the Empire.

Washington, Aug. 1G.-At the close f day of intense anxiety the state de- partment tonight made public the latest correspondence between the United States government and China, containing not only remarkable ser ies of state papers. but at the same time dispelling all doubt and uncertainty as to the American policy in the present critical juncture. The urgent, almost pathetic appeal of Ii Hung Chang, submitted carly in the day, that the victorious march of the allies stop al Tung Chow and that the military com manders on the field be instructed to arrange an armistice at that point, was met with a response that General Chaf- fee already had been given complete instructions empowering him to carry out an arrangement in concert with the other commanders for the delivery of the ministers and persons under their prU'te ction to the relief column, not at Tung Chow, as had been suggested, but at Pekin.
 Further. it was known to China that General Chaffee's instructions left a free rein as to whether he should in- sist upon entering Pekin and go to the legations or should receive the deliV- cry of the legationers at the gate of The inner Tartar city or at the great outer wall. In short. China, through her peace envoy, besought a halt and an armistice at Tung Chow, twelve miles from Pekin, whereas the re- sponse of the American government is that if there is to be a halt and ar mistice, it must be at the walls of the imperial city. The conclusions of the government were announced after an extended cabinet meeting

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Nothine short of a complete compliance with the de- mands made by this government upon the Chinese authorities will prevent the onward march of the allied armies on Pekin. This statement is made on au- thority. The appeal, therefore, of Ii Hung Chang for a halt at Tung Chow. with view of opening peace negotia- uons. will be promptly rejected. From the first the administration has insisted that this government be put into free communication with Minister Conger and second, that he, with the other members of the legation ana all who are under his protection, be immedi- ately relieved from their perilous sit uation. In all of the correspondence which has followed this first statement of the demands of the government, there has nos been one word which could be constructed as modifying them in the least particular. The United States stands today just where it stood a, first and no efforts on the part of Ii Hung Cfang or the imperial auth5ri- ties will avail to stop even for an hour the forward movement oE the allied forces.
