PLAYWRIGHT HOyT,s AEFATRs.
A Business Agent and Guardian Likely
 to be Appointed.

Charlestown, N. H., Aug. 3.-In all probability Charles H. Hoyt, the play wright whose commitment to retreat in Hartford, Conn, was revoked by Judge Freeman last Tuesday through the intercession of George H. Dickinson of Atlanta, Ga, and others of his int- mate friends, will apply to Judge Tenny for the appointment of a business agent or guardian. It is further probable that he will suggest the name of Hon. James o. Lyford of Concord, N H., for the position and this appointment would meet with the approval of all interested in MT. Hoyt's behalf. When MT Hoyt's release had become an actual fact on Tuesday he was asked if there was any lawyer from New Hampshire whom he would like to see and he at once named MT Lyford. Upon his arrival at his nome in Charlestown MT. Dickinson at once communicated with MT. Lyford, who came here and carefully went over the situation with Mr. Hoyt and the counsel.

MINIS FRS SAFE 4 UG UST I.
Letter of That Date From Pektn Still
 in British Legation.

London, Aug At is said that res ident of Westonsuper Mare has received a telegram from nephew in Pel1in dated August says Safe in the Brit ish legation"
 A Chee Foo dispatch dated August announces the safety of all the Ameri- cans in Pekin and the reception of a letter from Dr. Shetman dated July 25 saying that on the previous day Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minister, had agreed to truce providing the Chinese came no closer and adding: ''We hope this means relief, but having defeated the Chinese we are fearful now of treachery. All are exhausted with constant watching, fighting and digging trenches. The greatest credit is due to MT. Squires secretary of the United States legation, whose military exper- fence and energy are invaluable"
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily News says the consuls there re- gret the independent action taken by the American association and the China association on the ground that it is in judicious He says: "The settlements being international, petty jealousies must disappear. The China association is of little lecal influence. Presumably he refers to the American Asiatic asso- citation.
 The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Express announces the arrival there from San Francisco of Homer Iea for some time secret agent in the United States of the society for the re- format tion of the Chinese empire, with eco GOO in sterling which will Drrsirr1 ably be utilized in connection with the revolutionary movement against the empress dowager a movement quiescent since 1856, until within the last few weeks

Greater Opposition Forecasted.

Washington, Aug. 3.-General Chaf- fees message as to the unexpected re- sistance offered to the Japanese recon naissance is regarded by military men here as forecasting greater degree of opposition to the international advance than had been anticipated and they are now satisfied that the Chinese troops will furnish material for at least one severe battle before the way is clear to Pekin.
 The dispatch from General Chaffee was forwarded by Admiral Remey and is as follows:
 'Taku, Aug. 2 Bureau Navigation, Washington:
 'Chaffee reports that 800 Japanese, scouting toward Peitang, lost three men killed, twenty-five wounded Enemy in trenches and loopholed houses
 "Remey."
 In addition to his short message rela- tive to the Japanese check, transmit ted through Admiral Remey and re- ceived this morning, General Chaffee made another and direct cable report this afternoon. The message was with held from publication by Secretary Root, who declined to make it's pur- port public. It was presumably devot- ed to recital of General Chaffee's needs in military way. In view of the London statement that the advance on Tien Tsin actually began with the present week there is also possibility that General Chaffee's message has some bearing on that subject, though it is evident from his report of this morning that the advance, if started, could not have progressed far beyond Tien Tsin, as the outpost affair de- scribed by him took place only ten miles out of town.
 The navy department to-day issued an order for the cooperation of it's of- ficers aboard ship with the officers of the army in landing and transporting troops destined for Chinese service. This revives the situation that existed in Cuba when Shafter's army corps was landed largely through the efforts of the navy. It is thought in the depart ment that the navy can lend considera- ble assistance to General Chaffee's troops, not only aiding their departure but possibly in furnishing them boat transportation if the move is made along the Pei Ho.

possrB1E INVASION OF ENGLAND
A Discussion Yesterday in the House of
 Lords.

"A Discussion Yesterday im the House of
 Lords.
 London, Aug. 3--Another breeze blew up in the house of lords to-day as the outcome of the debate on Friday last regarding the allegation that England was not invunerable against an at tempted invasion. Lord Rosebery to- day somewhat testify resented the sec retary of state for war, the Marquis of Lansdowne, taking him to task for sug- gesting that the commander of the force, Lord Wolsaley, ought to come to the house and give his authority to the governments military plans. Lord Rosebery said he did not propose to be snubbed in the discharge of what he considered a public duty. The Marquis of Lansdowne, he said, must be dsa- bused of the idea that there existed in the country a blind, venerating confi- dence in the war office. The Marquis of Lansdowne, replying, said the war secretary was responsible to parliament and the commander-in-chief was re- sponsible to the war secretary.
 Other peers having spoken, the pre- IllGf, 1CTu s,dHSDuFy, arose ana SulQ ne understood Lord Roseberys contention was that the nation would be much more satisfied if Lord Wolseley wou q come to the house and express his ap- proval of Lord LansdoWne's plans. It was obvious that if Lord Wolseley could be called upon to do that he was also allowed to express disapproval Lord Salisbury said he could not see how that was possible. There was much force in what Lord Rosebery had said, but 1t was of an abstract kind. The subject was then dropped.
