PROMISES TO DELIVER CoNGER.

New York, July 3.-Washington spec
ials allege that the Chinese minister to
the United States, places such confidence
in the genuiness of Mr.. Conger's de-
spatch and such faith that the Chinese
government is protecting the foreign min
listers in Pekin, that he has agreed to
try to deliver Minister Conger into the
hands OF Admiral Remey.
1t is asserted that Secretary Hay has
told Minister WI that in view of the
incredulity of all the European powers
and the apparent inevitability of a gen
eral hostile movement against Pekin,
only the presence Of one of the ministers
in Tien Tsin or a place outside of Pekin
would relieve the situation and check the
forward movement.

AN ABSURD STORY.
NO Truth ia Report That Admiral
Seymour KILLED His Wounded.


San Francisco, July s3.-There is moth
ing in the report of Admiral Seymour
which was received here today by steam
er America -Maru to prove the sensational
story that was circulated the earlier part
of this month to the effect that Admiral
Seymour who commanded the Pekin re-
lief expedition killed his wounded to save
them from the Chinese Commander S.
W. Very, U. S. N, who returned from
the Orient ON the steamer and others
who were at Hong-Kong when Admiral
Seymour returned from Tien Tsin did
not hear the story and the AdmiraPs re

in flat boats ana towed down the river

the main body of the troops fought the
Chinese off with rifle and Maxims.
In the fight at Tang Fang where the
Boxers attacked the forces with great
vigor, twice the italian contingent bore
the brunt of the fighting on the right
flank and lost five men kilIe1 and NUM-

The Chinese retreated, leaving large
number of dead on the field. In the after
noon a detail of British marines who
were stationed to guard the railroad
house at Tang Fang were attacked and
reinforcements had to be rushed forward
to save them.
1t was in this engagement that the
enemy lost about hundred killed. An
advance was then made to Ren Ting where
the forces halted, as the tracks for miles
had been torn up. The Chinese advanced
in great numbers and desperate battle
was fought. The column fell back to
Yong Song, so that the rest of the trip
might be made by stream. Seymour then

Washington, July 23.-After considera-

have come to the conclusion that by
telegraphic error the name of the infor-

been turned in "Tuan'' from YUAN"
The latter is the famous Yuan Shih

Of neutrality and even has leaned toward
positive friendship for the foreigners.
On the other h and if this despatch
really came from Prince Tuan, in the

growers to wait till later. they would
find no market that would pay a profit
on cost Of production and Transports
ton.
The apple exhibit at Paris Is likely
to attract a good deal of attention from
Europeans. It will not consist Of the
bookkeeping varieties to any extent,
but of those apples that are known as
commercial apples. and that will stand
long carriage. Our apple trade with
the Europeans Is growing, and the ex-
hibit at the exposition will doubtless
have the effect of charging the mar
ket. The only trouble hat we see
ahead is the difficulty of supplying the
demand. Good commercial apples are
very high in our markets the year
round, and of course will be much
higher In a foreign market, where the
cost Of transport, handling and addi-
tional profits must be added. With
out doubt, there is no more encourag-
ing field for investment than in the line
of apple growing. There are certain
sections of the country that are par
ticularly adapted to the growing of
apples-sections where land is cheap
and unsuited to the production Of any,
thing but fruit.
