ANXIOUS MINISTER WI.
Doing All He Can 10 Bring Good News 10 Us
from China.

Washington. July 1.-THE Chinese
minister continues to exert his efforts
toward getting information from Pc
kin. but up to late hour. Saturday. he
had not received any answer in con-
nection with the cipher cable to Min
lister Conger. or from a second inquiry
which he forwarded, Friday. This sec
ond dispatch was to the Tao-tai of
Shanghai. and said, in substance:
american government and people
greatly concerned over safety of Min
lister Conger at Pekin. Can you give
any Information on the subject
The Tao-tai of Shanghai is high Of
fetal who will be apt to get the earli-
est reliable information, and this per-
sonal appeal from the minister may
bring some reliable news on the situa-
tion.
Minister WI was much depressed by
continued reports that the legations had
been wiped out and the ministers muir
dered. To all inquiry he sorrowfully
shakes his head. and says that he has
absolutely no information. and can
only hope for the best
The report of the killing of the Rus
sian minister and his wife was another
severe blow, but to this, also, Mr.. WI
said that he had absolutely no news.

NO FAITH IN Ir.
Imperial Communication Presented German

Berlin, July 15.--Lu Hal Houan, the
Chinese envoy extraordinary and min
lister plenipoteniary, Saturday. present
ed to the foreign office an imperial
communication of the date of June 80
The German government did not put
any faith in it.
Lieut.. Gen. Won Lesel, Saturday. had
long interview with Count Won Bue-
low regarding the political attitude to
be adopted by German commanders af-
ter their arrival in China.
The Cologne Volks- -Zeitung. today,
will contain an authentic history of the
seizure of Kiao Chou. The article will
prove that the German government Of
fered to Bishop Amer, in 1890, pro-
tectorate over the Catholic missions of
the province of Shantung, which An
ger then refused.
The newspaper also goes on to show
that Bishop Amer advised the German
Emperor to sieZe the northern port of
Kiao Chou rather than a southern port
which advice the German Emperor i'm
mediately followed, although the Ger
man minister at Pekin at that time,
Baron Hoyking. had advised the selec-
ton of more southerly port.
The paper accordingly disapproves
of the German Catholic missionary's
action, and intimates that this was re-
sponsible for the present troubles.
A similar view holding the seizure of
kiao Chou responsible for the anarchy
in China has recently been taken by a
number of German authorities.

London, July 15-The Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Daily Express, on the al
legged authority of couriers who brought
the story, gives very sensational ac-
count. He says:
'Maddened with hunger after having
been without food for many days, the
members of the legations and the guards

killed 200 Chinese in an unexpected at

over the loss of so many men, brought
up heavy guns and Prince Tuan gave the
order that every foreigner must be de-

''In the final attempt to cut their way
through. the legationers formed square

LOOKING AFTER EQUIPMENTS.
G,n. Miles Will Not Go 10 China Unless
Much Larger Army Is Sent.

Washington. d. c., July 15.-Lieut.
Gen. Miles will not go to China to
command the American forces, unless
a much larger army is sent there than
is at present contemplated.
The lieutenant general called on Min
lister WI, Saturday. but he subsequent
ly said that his call was purely social,
and had no significance For the pres
ent, Gen. Miles is doing nothing in
connection with the Chinese campaign,
except looking after arrangements for
transporting troops and supplies. He
is giving particular attention to seeting
that the troops sent to China shall have
everything needed in the way of sup
plies and equipment.
There is no present intention of as
signing any officer to duty in China
who outranks Gen. Chaffee, who is con-
sidered one of the most prudent officers
and one of the best fighters in the
army. He is equal to the command of
a corps, and it is believed he will make
no mistakes in his relations with the
and naval commanders Of
other nations.

Portland. Me-, July 15.-Maj. John NJ

letter from his daughter, Miss Annie A.
Could q missionary in China. 1t was
dated at Pao Ting Flu, May q. After re-
ferring to having given up her proposed
trip to attend the mission meeting, she
said that the Boxer movement originated
with a man who is intensely anti-foreign.
The governor OF Shantung was re-
moved at the demand of the foreigners,
but was Immediately appointed governor
of Shans. and the foreigners were un-
able to even rent house.
She referred to the death of Gen. Yung,
who tried to investigate the doings of the
Boxers. She noted the fact that the Chi
nese soldiers look more trim and soldierly
than they did before they were drilled by
foreigners
The concluding portion of her letter was
devoted to the troubles of the mission
aries. and was as follows:
Last Monday, after the railroad was
torn up, the French who were in charge
of the railroad all left. Some Of their
women insisted on going and prevailed
against the better judgment of the men.
so 30 in all started in u boats with a
guard Of 80 soldiers ana a crowd to
watch them off There Were black looks
and angry mutterings. II was fortunate
for their peace of mind that they did not
understand what was said.
Some of our mission Chinese said they
We're doing foolishly. They may get
away safely. but the Boxers will send
word down the river and attack them on
their way to Tien Tsin.
THAT was Monday. Today. Thursday
May 81, we hear that they have had a
very hard time. the river being low, and
the Boxers have sworn to kill any for
eigners they can lay their hands on.
Along the river. therefore. it will be
doubly dangerous. Yesterday. a man who
IS on very good terms with foreigners
advised Mr.. Bagnall missionary In a
bout way To leave before the Box
ers got any more furious against US. but
We don't want to desert our posts.
Mr. Bagnall has gone to see Mr.. Wa
great man, that is his titleD and we wait
his report. Some Of US think it impossi-
bic can be troubled, 1t Is SO near to the
city.
"On the other hand. there are about
1000 Boxers in Paoting Flu. and more in
the villages. What can the few soldiers
do. especially as they will not fire on the
Boxers to defend US? We may be killed
and our property looted. or We may es-
cape with the skin of our teeth, or We
may be unmolested.

Fall River, Mass, July 15-More
than 5000 mill employees will be idle in

rations employing them are entering
upon or continuing the first half of the

to by them for the purpose of relieving
the glut in the print cloth market and

almost equalling the production of the
mills for one week.
1t is believed with the curtailment
movement growing and the stock on
hand lessening that buying will be
stimulated and the market relieved for
it's past dullness.
The movement of mill owners has Tor
the present at least. caused the labor
leaders and others interested in the
union cooperative mill to relax their
efforts and for the present. the work
of securing subscribers to the stock is
at a standstill.

will be raised with which to prosecute
the work of erecting the new factory.

SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION
Is What Lieut.. Gen. Miles Calls the Boxer
Uprising.

Washington. July 15.-Lieut Gen.
Miles said. Saturday night:
IF the reports from China are true
the insurrection has amounted appar-
emily to successful revolution.
This immense horde of Boxers.
starting in the interior. has swept over
a vast portion of China. and is un-
doubtedly in possession of the capital,
or has cut the communication between
the capital and the coast, or possibly
both.
If the representatives of foreign
governments and the subjects of for
eign countries at Pekin have been kill
ed ii is the most appalling tragedy of
the age. There is TO precedent for it
in history-certainly not in modern
history.
1T will take very large armies to
overpower the hostile element in China
and restore order and stable govern
ment there.
There is, however, apparently di-
vision of sentiment in the empire of
China. A very large part of the popu-
lation does not want war, but desire to
maintain peaceful relations with the
rest of the world and wants to protect
the citizens of other countries living in
China.
What proportion of the Chinese
population is hostile to the government
is difficult to ascertain, and at present
cannot be determined.
"China's forces and military re-
sources are not to be despised nor light
ly regarded. They have men without
Iit,oif hnI f.,,, h..
importing large stores of munitions of
war. Besides this they are an in
genius people. They can manufacture
and cleverly copy what is made in
