Mr.. Keeler left Highland Springs where
he had been recuperating, last week. intent
upon securing medical aid in this city. On
his way here he suffered a stroke of apo
plexy, from which he did not rally. He
was taken to the hospital in precarious
condition and died in few hours.
Professor Keeler was one of the astron-
omers who participated in the Colorado
expedition for the observance of the solar
eclipse in 1873. He afterward served as a
director of the Allegheny university and
was a colleague of Professor Langley in
the famous Mount Whitney (California)
expedition. He studied with Quincke at
Heidelberg and Helmholtz In Berlin, and
on his return from Germany again worked
with Langley and was after attached to
Lick. When Professor Langley retired from
Allegheny, Professor Keeler took his place.
His work there was almost exclusively in
the line of stellar spectroscopy. Two years
ago he became director of the Lick OBJ
servatory. He was regarded as one Of the
most eminent of american astronomers.

Imperial Edicts Fomented the Boxer
Uprising.


New York, Aug. 13.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
A Shanghai dispatch to the News that
troubles have commenced in the Yang
Use valley at Ta Tunh. Serious riots
have taken place, and the telegraph sta
ton is reported to have been destroyed
by members of the Kolavus society.
The Standard correspondent in Tien
Tsin states that copies Of imperial edicts
have been discovered instigating the
people to destroy the foreigners. These
edicts were issued simultaneously with
others in which the Chinese government
promised to protect the legations.
According to a Berlin special to the
Post, Lord Salisbury in his reply to the
kaiser, advised that Count Won Walder-
see should be appointed chief commander
in China. The German foreign office is
not disposed to attach undue Importance
to the one condition insisted upon by
England, that the assent of the other
powers concerned should also be OBJ

Considerable uneasiness continues to be

to the action of Russia in the Chinese
provinces adjacent to her own frontier
Little Is really know about the state Of
affairs in the Amur region, and it has
even been alleged that the attacks on
the Russian settlements have merely
been those Of small rowing bodies Of Tar

pairing for campaign on a great scale.
Moscow kilograms assert that $4,000
troops have already started on the rail-
way route ITO the far east, and many more
are to be embarked from Odessa. Some
of the Russian newspapers are now open

MATES.

New York, August IA dispatch ID
the Tribune from London says: 81
Despite the assertions so confidently
repeated that all the powers have accept
ed the unconditional appointment of
Count Won Waldersee as commander in
chief of the allied forces, it is still be-
lieved here that sevral governments have
given their consent to the counts nomin-
alton with important limitations on his
freedom Of action. It is pointed out in
Paris, and by responsible statesmen like
M. Meitne, that under the law of Febru-
ary, 1874, no foreign officer can hold, even
nolninally or Professionally, command of
any body of French troops. At present
the counts commission from the powers
would make him rather chief of a council
of officers than commander in chief. No
doubt when the allied army is actually
engaged in battle with the Chinese, the
German field marshal will be in COM
mand, and his tactical dispositions will
be carried out by all ranks and nationals
ties, burt on the larger questions of STRAIT
egy and policy the attitude of the chiefs
of the various foreign contingents will be
largely determined by instructions from
It Is possible, however. that before
Count Won Waldersee reaches the Pei Ho
a more definite understanding between
the powers as to their object and pur-
poses in China will have been reached.
The only member of the cabinet who
has lately referred publicly to the Chi
nese question is Lord Londonderry. The
postmaster general, in recent speech at
a political ga thering urged that the pow
ers would seek no indiscriminate ven
geance, but would insist on the punish
ment of the mandarins and other high
personages really responsible for the out
RACES committed instead of allowing
themselves to be put off by the execution
of a miscellaneous selection of less guilty
subordinates. Great Britain, said the
