THE CHINESE EDICT
Was Sent to Diplomatic Representatives
 in China Frances Action

Washington, July 13.-Mr. Wu, the Chi nese minister, said at the time that he pre- scented to Secretary Hay the imperial edict defining China's attitude in the present crisis that a copy of the document also had been sent to the diplomatic represen- tative of China stationed in each of the countries whose ministers are in Pekin.
 Some surprise is manifested here that the edict had not been presented by the sev- eral ministers before this time, but this may be due to delay in deciphering it from the code in which it was transmitted into Chinese and then into the language of the country in which the miniser resides. Like the American government, the French have asked the Chinese miniser to undertake the task of reaching the French minister in Pe- kin. MT Wu said tonight that no word had been received by him in reply to the tele- gram to MT. Conger, sent through the good offices of an influential official in Shanghai. and that none could be expected so soon

OFFICERS AFTER
 TRAIN ROBBERS Three of Them Have Been Cap- tured-A Detective Shot
 Through Shoulder

Chicago, July 13-"Three of the robbers who held up Illinois Central train No at Mayfield Creek, Ky, about ten miles south of Cairo at 1:30 a. m. on the 11th instant, have been arrested and imprisoned by spe- cial agents in the employ of the company. We also expect to get the other two rob- bers in a short time"
 Vice-President J. L. Harahan of the Ili- nois Central Railway made the foregoing statement tonight. He added
 ''The first one arrested was Michael Con- nelly, alias Doyle, who claims to be a resi- dent of Portland, Ore. He was caught at Charleston, Mo-, a small town on the Iron Mountain Railway about fifteen miles from Cairo, on the afternoon of the 11th instant, and is now in jail at Cairo.
 '"The second man, Mike Conlan, was ar- and is now in jail there. George P. Mur- ray, chief special agent of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad Company, went to the house of Jack Nelson, who is also thought to be implicated in the robbery at St. Louis last night, and in endeavoring to arrest him Murray was shot through the shoulder and arm by Nelson, who got away. It is ex- pected that he will be captured soon. Mur- ray was not severely injured, and Is in the Mullanphhy Hospital at St. Louis. It is expected that he will be out in few days
 Another suspect has been arrested and held in custody at Cairo, and information has just been received from St. Louis that one of the persons implicated in the train robbery has made full confession"

COMPANY DENIES
 STRIKERS CHARGES Manager Baumhoff Gives Out a
 Signed Statement. NEW MEN ARE DISSATISFIED Fifteen of Them Returned to Their Homes in Baltimore, Saying the
 Facts Had Been Misre-
 presented to Them
NEW MEN ARE DISSATISFIED

St. Louis, Mo-, July 13.-General Manager George w Baumhoff of the St. Louis Tran sit Company gave out a signed statement today In reply to the published charges made by the strikers, in which the latter charged that baumhoff had violated the agreement entered into on July 2. General Baumhoff denies that he violated in the slightest degree the agreement between the strikers committee and the Transit Com pany. He says he has strictly adhered to that agreement, and has endeavored to act fairly with the strikers at all times The general managers statement, which is a very lengthy one, is denial of all charges made by the strikers against him. The statement closes as follows:
 Had the present organization been con- ducted in the interests of the street railway employees, instead of for the benefit of the few imported chosen leaders, there would have been no strike at all, and all the diff ferences existing between the company and its employees would have been cheerfully and promptly settled"
 Busses are now running over the Transit Company's lines, and are well patronized.
 The new men imported are becoming dis satisfied, and charges of unfair treatment have been made by them against the com pany. Fifteen men who came from Balti- mere to St. Louis in May left the city last night for their Eastern homes. They claim that they found conditions in St. Louis diff ferent from what had been represented, and that the Transit Company failed to keep certain promises made to them.
 Two bricks were thrown through the side transoms of a car on the Sixth street line tonight as the car was between Seventh and Eighth streets, on Hickory street. Pieces of flying brick struck Edward Strode and his son George of No. 4041 South Broadway, but no other passengers were hurt.
 The executive committee reported that delegation of the present employees of the Transit Company had waited on it and stated that 1000 men would quit at once if the union would pay their transportation to their respective homes. The committee declined to give the names of those con stituting the committee sta s,o,, 1,or,,ed The suggestion was taken under advise ment.

Hanna to discuss and decide upon the personnel of the new ex- ecutive committee and to name secretary of the national committee to succeed Gen. eral Charles F. Dick.
 Before the conference closes it is also probable that a member of the national committee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of George B. Cox of Ohio will be chosen.
 Among those present at the conference were Chairman Hanna, Cornelius N. Bliss, Perry S. Heath, Charles F. Dick, Henry c. Payne, Charles Dawes, Myron T. Her rick R. C. Kerens, Graeme Stewart, N. B. Scott, Harry s. New and Frederick Gibbs.
 At noon Senator Hanna announced that the following named had been chosen as members of the National Executive Com- mittee: Graeme Stewart, Illinois; Henry c. Payne, Wisconsin; Richard c. Kerens, Missouri; J. H. Manly, Maine; N. B. Scott. West Virginia; Frederick s. Gibbs New York; Franklin Murphy, New Jersey; My ron I. 6errlcK, OnlOi Harry S. NeW, lnQl- ana.
 Chairman, M. A. Hanna; secretary, Perry S. Heath;. treasurer, Cornelius N. Bliss
 General Charles F. Dicks resignation as Secretary of the National Republican Com mittee was received and accepted. Messrs Hanna, Heath and Payne were named as committee to draft resolutions concerning the resignation of General Dick MT. Han na stated that the personnel of an advisory committee was under consideration but that it would not be announced for ten days or two weeks.
 The executive committee chose Myron T Herrick of this city to fill the vacancy on the National Committee caused by the resignation of George B. Cox of Cincin- natl.
 The committee renewed the lease for the rooms occupied as headquarters in the Metropolitan Life Insurance builuins, Madison Square, New York.
 Messrs. Payne and Stewart were instruct ed to look over the ground in Chicago with a view to securing a location for the Ma tional Committee in that city.

 MT. Heath will tender his resignation to the President in about week or ten days.

SITUATION Al CAPE NOME

Washington, July 13.-The Secretary of the Treasury has received a letter from G. Rudolph of No. S26 Broadway, Brooklyn, on the situation at Cape Nome, Alaska The department sees no reason to doubt the trustworthiness of the story told by Mr. Rudolph, and suggests its publication. It is becoming daily more apparent to the officials that the conditions in the new gold fields are almost certain to result in great suffering during the winter, especi- ally as epidemics of smallpox and typhoid fever are threatened. The letter, among other things, says:
 q arrived at Nome June 12. I and my partner tried working the beach for gold in several places and personally saw others by the hundreds do the same, but in no instance did we see man take out enough gold to pay for his grub. The only place where any gold was being taken out was between the beach and the Tundra There they were only making day wages of from g to s1O. This place is only about taken up by about 800 men, Like the beach, it is now nearly all worked out.

Details of Disaster to British Troops At Nitrals Nek--Colonel
 Roberts Captured.

Pretoria, July 13-Details are now at hand regarding the disaster to the Lincoln shire regiment Wednesday. It appears that five companies were ordered Tuesday to proceed and hold the pass through Magalesburg, in the neighborhood of Das- poort fort. They arrived at the pass in the afternoon, where three companies with two guns took up a position and camped for the night, leaving two companies on a plain south of the pass.
 The eastern hill was rugged, rocky and inaccessible, but further east apparently approachable from the main ridge. Al daybreak the Boers appeared on the east ern kopje and opened a heavy fire. Con- fusion ensued. The colonel ordered the men to take up a position on kopje to the west
 From this point a hot fire ensued during the entire day. Two guns under the escort of the Scots Grey, placed in advance of the main body, were captured after 6 stout re- sstance. Nearly every man was killed or wounded. A Maxim gun was brought into action early in the day. The fire was too hot and the men were finally forced to re- tire sergeant, aided by seven volunteers, saved the gun. There was a continuous fire all along the line, the Lincolnshire regi- ment men vigorously replying.

Three companies were practi- cally surrounded, but they kept up a steady fire until toward nightfall, when their am munition had been expended.

 He said Caleb Powers was the most az gressive among those who sought to ret tie the contest by violence, and that to hiva largely was due the importation of n.cun- tain "feudists" to Frankfort, 175 of whom were retained in Frankfort regularly. He charged that majority of them had killed from one to several men each. He claimed it will be put in evidence that on January 2S MT. Powers made use of a statement that "Goebel has not as many days to live as I have fingers on my hand" He reviewed the facts in connection with the assassination, and claimed that the State House yard had been cleared in fur therance of the conspiracy. cited the clos ing of the executive building against the police officers the calling out of troops and other matters which have already come out in the examining trials as further proof of the conspiracy.

WILL THEN GO NORTH All the Missionaries Have Evac-

 are Firing necessarily
ALLIES ARE DAILY DRIVEN IN

London, July H.-The scanty cable dis patches received today add nothing to the knowledge in London of the Chinese situa- tion.
 It Is stated positively from Canton that Ii Hung Chang will remain there until the allied troops have defeated Prince Tuan's forces, and will then go north to lend his powerful aid in arranging terms of peace, cooperating with Prince Ching Yung Lu and other pro-foreign viceroys. For the present Ii Hung Chang considers that he can best control and direct the Ficeroys from Canton, and also keep in check the turbulent province of Kwang Tung.
 All the foreigners and missionaries have evacuated Wen Chau, and have arrived at Ming Po Large bodies of Boxers appeared nt Wen Chau and threatened to extermi- nate the foreigners and Christians They also distributed banners, badges and in fammatory anti-foreign appeals.
 The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Ex- press, telegraphing under date of July g., asserts that the Chinese are daily driving in the allies. They have mounted says the correspondent, twelve fresh guns in advan- tageous positions, with which they are sweeping the streets of the foreign settle ment, the incessant fire rendering position after position quite untenable.
 The Daily Mails St. Petersburg corre- spondent says that in the last six hours battle outside Tien Tsin the Cossacks cap- tured six Krupp guns and killed numbers of fleeing Boxers The Chinese lost 5000, including General Jek.
