VEIL NOT YET RAISED.
COngcr's Latest Note Has Not Solved
the Peking Mystery.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The receipt at
autographic message from Minister Conger
has done nothing TO disspate the doubt as
which was forwarded by the naval officers
at Tien-Tsin, Taku and Che-Foo. has in
saddest mystery OF the century.
The official conclusion that the ministers
are still alive remains unchanged. Of
course, but il is admitted that a careful
scrutiny of the autograph message in COM
parison with the famous cipher message
from Minister Conger admits of the belief
that the two messages were indited by
Mr.. Conger at about the same time The
situation at the British legation is repre-
sented TO be the same in each case. and. as
Mr. Conger declares that relief must come
quickly IL at all. there is ground for the
supposition that conditions could not long
have remained unchanged in such crisis.
The assumption that this reasoning is COR
rect involves the further conclusion that
Mr.. Congers cipher message. II genuine,
was redated as of the 18th OF July. two
weeks later than the date of actual writ
ing, and. OF course, If redated at all. that
was done by Chinese officials.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The most i'm
portant development in the Chinese situa-
tion to-day was the reception of message
from Minister Conger, dated Peking, July
4, forwarded from Che-Foo by Capt
Charles NJ. Thomas, commander of the
cruiser Brooklyn, under date of July "a.
Captain Thomass cablegram. which was
| addressed to the Navy Department. reads:
Written message, signed Conger,
July 4, received at Tien-Tsin on
the 21st, says: "Been besieged two
weeks in British legation. Grave
danger of general massacre by Chi
nese soldiers, who are shelling le-
CATION daily. Relief soon, if at
all. City without government, ex-
cept by Chinese army. Determined
to massacre ali foreigners in Pc
king. Entry of relief forces into
city will probably be hotly con-
tested"
This message convinces some that all the
foreign ministers are dead, but revives
hope in others that they are still alive.
The British minister's writing on the same
day said they had two weeks provisions.
Both ministers asked for speedy relief, say
ing that If it did not come quickly gen.
eral massacre would follow. From the
tenor of these appeals it would seem that
unless they have been protected by the i'm
king, including the ministers. must be dead.
The very fact that there is any doubt about
of foreign governments shows how unfit
China is to be regarded as within the pale
of international law. The reply of Presi-
dent Mckinley to the Chinese Emperor s
request for mediation by the United States
is certain to bring the truth in few days
The feeling here in official and unofficial
circles grows constantly stronger that, no
matter what the fate Of the ministers may
be, the former status at Peking cannot be
restored; that restraint will have to be ex-
ercsed hereafter on the Chinese govern
ment and people to prevent any possible
recurrence of the condition that has pre-
vailed at Peking and elsewhere in China
during the past six weeks. This does not
mean the partition of China, which no one
wants, but simply that international
force be maintained in the capital sufficient
to repress the anti-foreign prejudices of
the Chinese government and people, and to
afford due and ample protection to the min
listers and other foreigners sojourning in
China.
