FATE STILL IN DOUBT
Anxiety Regarding Foreign
Ministers Unrelieved.
MESSAGE FROM ADMIRAL KEMPFF.
CRbiegram From III Hung Chang
Does Not Agree with other Adj
vices-Washinston Authorities
PuxsIed by COnGer's Silence.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The days
developments in Chinese affairs were
meager. and the general opinion here is
that the two messages received-One
from Kelnpff and the other from Ii Hung
Chang could not be accepted as settling
the important question as to the fate Of
the foreign ministers at Peking and their
families and attaches.
The following cablegram was received
by the navy department from Admiral
kenpff dated Chefu, June %:
About 12.0O0 foreign troops now
ashore. Soldiers ordered should report at
Iaku instead OF Chefu. Substituted
Nashville for Yorktown at Chcfu. York
town used as dispatch boat, being more
suitable"
The secretary OF the navy, by special
instruction of the president, had been
particular to cable Admiral Kempff sew
eral days ago to keep the navy depart
mcnt Informed of everything that hap
pcned within the zone OF disturbance in
China. and it is believed that his omis-
sion TO make any reference in his cable
gram of yesterday morning to the where
about Of the ministers was based on the
absence Of any infOrma ton on that sub
Ject at Tukll. where the admiral is with
his flagship, the Newark. And if no in
formation could be had at Takua, only
~ miles down the river from TiCn-tsin,
of the presence Of the ministers in Ad-
niral Seymnurs column, but eight miles
Distant then officials here cannot under
stand how any other government could
have superior facilities. and so they felt
justified in waiting for further advices
before accepting the Chinese statements
on that point AS accurate,
Minister WI. who brought Lis message
to the state department, could not ex-
plain away the points of variance be-
tween the viccroy's statements and the
cable messages received from other
sources However, he pinned his faith
TO the accuracy Of them and pointed ont
that it agreed closely with Admiral
kempf's message of Wednesday stat
ing that the ministers were reported 10
be with Seymour.

! Trenton, June 29.-With a clout
over his mind and his body shrunli
almost to skeleton, Henry c. How.
ard, prominent lawyer and form
er president of the Delaware County
Trust Company, who has been
| missing from his home in Media,
Pa. for upwards of a month, was
found near this city yesterday.
For weeks he lived in an improvis-
ed hut on the banks of the Hutch
inson Pond. subsisting on fish
and whatever he could gather in
the line of vegetation. He was
found to-day by William Widmann.
who keeps hotel at Iardville and
brought to police headquarters
here. This evening friends took
him back to Media.
Mr.. Howard strayed away from
his home in Media and made his
way to this city. He stopped over
night at Barlow Hotel and then
went to Bordentown. From there
he went 10 the hut where he has
since lived. When he left his home
he was in robust physical condi-
tlon, although his mind was quite
erratc. His condition, when found
was pitible, and the police had
City Physician Madden, care for
him to-day.
Early this morning Hotelkeeper
Widmann saw man lettering
about his place and finally induced
him to enter the house. Mr.. Wild
mann had heard of Howard's dis
appearance and suspected that he
had the missing man, SO after Civ
ing the stranger good breakfast
he hltched up his team and asked
him to take a drive. The drive end
ed at police headquarters here, and
it will make Widmann richer by
the $500 reward offered for the
missing lawyer.
Mr.. Howard still wore the brown
suit of clothes which he had on
when he left home, but it was in
rags. He was SO tired and worn
out that he could scarcely move.
He seems TO remember very little OF
his life since he left home.

POLITICAL
NOTES.

! The leaders Of the Union Repub-
llcan party were on hand yester.
day at the ratification meeting
which was held at Augustine Pier,
among THE number being J. Edward
Addlcks, Senator Alice, DR.. Mar
shall, DR.. Layton. Walter H.
Hayes, Senator Blakeley. S. S.
Pennewlll, ID. S. Clark, g. w. In.
gram, Frank Ewing and dozens OF
others whose names are not
well known as active workers in
that organization. Besides there
were numerous other Republicans
on hand Dwho were looking after
their booms for the different county
offices. They were very much in
evidence and looked happy think
ing what good plckings they will
have when they are handed over
the keys of the different Offices and
take the required oath.
DR.. Joseph II. Chandler of Cen.
treville, whom the Republicans up
this way want for Governor, was
on hand looking hearty as ever for
a man OF his years. He takes as
much interest in the party affairs
as ever. Having such large ac.
quaintance he would receive a much
larger vote than any other man the
Republicans could name for office.
All signs point to the predic.
ton made in these columns some
time ago that J. Edward Addicks
and Anthony Higgins will be
elected the next two United States
Senators from Delaware, if the Re-
publicans are not so foolish as to
commit political suicide. Mr.. Hig-
gins has large following and was
always more or less OF a iavorite
with Delaware Republicans. He
has kept aloof from the factional
light for the last two years and
considerable of the bitter feeling
against him has died out. He made
a creditable representative from
our State during his one term in the
Senate and is desirious of going
back once more. He says that he
is for a united Republican party
which shows that the ex-senator
has not forgotten how to play poll.
tics.
Several we'll known politicians
came up from Augustine Pier yes
terday on Mr.. Addicks, "Vision,
and landed at New Castle taking
the trolley cars over to Wilmington.
Politics makes lots of strange ac-
luaintances and some funny things
happen even to those who are look
nS on at a distance.

while in Havana he had given to the
press quite freely the results of his in
quiry from time to time. Concerning
the reductions he had effected in the ad.

that may be effected in the ndministra
