who brought her four little ones u the

The family came here from Colorado in

South street between Main and State The

worked on the wagon with him all day,
trying to provide bread for their chill

Work has been hard to get, and Mrs.
Howard told the officer that days had

KEMPFF AT SEA
On MINISTER'S

Washington, June 29.-The navy de-
partment this morning received the fol-
lowing cablegramo from Admiral
KemDff:
"Che Foo, June. 29.-Secretary of the
Navy: Pekin relief expedition in Tien
Tsin with 200 sick and wounded Min
listers and Pekin party not with them.
No news from them.
"KEMPFF."
Admiral Kempff today acknowledged
the error he had made in reporting the
presence of the foreign ministers with
Admiral Seymour's column eight miles
out from Tien Tsin. His cablegram
this morning admits that there is no
knowledge of their whereabouts and
it is assured the error in the first re-
port arose from the admirals accept
ance Of rumor that was very gener-
ally current. at the time the cablegram
was sent.
The fact that the admiraPs message
is dated at Che Foo today warrants
the supposition that telegraphic COM
munication has been restored between
that point and Taku, where the for
eign fleet lies. There is, however, a
possibility that the admiral could get
a dispatch across from Taku TO Che
Foo the same QdtG Dy pushing the
Yorktown, which has been used as a
dispatch boat.
Admiral KemDff's news has added
to the depression in official quarters.
No news from any of the American
state department officials in China was
received today. Secretary Hay, who
was severely taxed by the exhausting
Iabors thrown upon him during the
present heated spell, was indisposed to-
day and remained at his home, while
Assistant Secretary Hill looked after
the routine business Of the state de-
partment.

HE Is A VERY BAD MAN.
Took Young Woman's Jewelry and
She Appealed to Police.

A young woman who gave her name
as Miss Payne came into the police
station a few days ago and wanted
the police 20 locate a young man who
she said had taken three OF her rings
and refused TO return them or tell her
where they were. She gave the young
mans name as z. Hansen and said that
he took the rings from her as she
thought in fun. and that she allowed
him to Keep them a few days, thinking
that he would of course give them
back when she asked for them.
Two or three days later she requested
him to return the rings but he refused
to do SO and would not tell her what
he had done with them. She thought
he had pawned them and searched in
vain among the reports of the shops
for some trace OF her lost jewelry. Fail
ing TO find any trace of it she asked
the police to locate the young man and
make him produce the rings or tell
where they were.
The young man was found yesterday
afternoon and when the erTand of the
officer was made known to MIN ne i'm
mediately produced the rings to save
himself from arrest. The jewelry was
returned to Miss PAYNE. and as she
did not care to make any further com
plant against Hansen ne was allowed
to 20.

TONNES FRIENDS
ARE MOST ACTIVE

Kansas City. Mo. June 29.-The
greatest activity manifested in the vice
presidential canvass before the con-
vention is shown by the managers of
Charles A Towne. General E S.
COrser of Minnesota, who is now here,
is nlaking. arrangements for the silver
Republican convention and at the same
time is doing all he can to make
Towne's nomination possible.
II is the present intention to have
an early conference between the COM
mittees of the POpulist party and the
silver Republican party and the Dem
ocratic national committee with view
of securing some kind of an agreement
for furthering Mr.. ToWne's candidacy
It is quite probable. however, that the
Democratic national committee will re-
fuse to take any responsibility in the
matter on the ground that it is a sub
iect for the convention and not the
committee, TO consider.
Would Emphasize Silver.
IT is argued th.t Towne's name on
the ticket would serve to emphasize the
silver issue il the campaign, just at a
time when there is a disposition to
leave the endorsement of silver to tie
re-affilmation of the Chicago platform.
JJpOn the other hand, in trying to con-
cfliate the eastern Democrats on the
money question il has been suggested
that some eastern man, whose silver
views are not so radical, should be
selected.
Mr.. Towne viii arrive tomorrow and
will confer with the Democratic lead
ers who are expected about the same
time
J. Hamilton Lewis Boom Comes.
Thomas Maloney, chairman of the
washington delegation is here as the
custodian of the vice presidential cam
didacy of James Hamilton Lewis, OF
that state. Mr. Maloney says the
states of Oregon, Washington ard
Idaho are for Lewis, and it is expect
ed that six additional votes will be
given him from Alaska. DR.. c. d.
Rogers. member of the national COM
mittee and a delegate from Alaska,
saws the delegation has not conferred
with him on the matter but may cast
its vote for the Washington candidate.
DIR. Rogers says his delegation is much
interested in getting plank in the
platform against carpet-bag officials IN
the territories, as there are plenty OF
good men in Alaska TO fill all the
federal offices. L. L. Williams, an
other Alaska delegate, is here. He is
TO be the next member of the national
committee from that state. Both
Rogers and Williams are from Juneau.

The viceroys conclude by instructing

various provinces of southeast China,
to submit this arrangement as quickly
as possible to the French minister of
foreign affairs and TO beg him to accept
IT.
Information received apart from the

There was q practical demonstration
of the fact yesterday that the saloon

ton in Matter.
Washington. June 29.-The state de-
partment also was acquainted with the
terms of the agreement between the
consuls and the viceroys looking to the
protection Of foreign interests in the
southern provinces in China
The first step 10 this end was indi-
Gated in Secretary Hays cablegran of
last Wednesday to the American con-
suls in China, authorizing them TO take
direct action instead of waiting on pos
sible communications with Minister
Conger. Thus authorized, Consul Gen
eral GOOdnOw, at Shanghai, and prob
ably several others in the South, began
negotiations with the vicerOys and tao
tais of their respective districts. The
outcome was the nine articles of agree
ment.
The agreement is believed to have
come TO the state department through
Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister, and is
probably one of a number of identical
notes addressed to the European pow
ers and the United States. Before It
can become effective it must receive
the formal approval of the government
here, and to that end the matter was
laid before the cabinet at tOday's ses-
precedent for the naturalization of
treaty in ports in time of war, but
the conditions were never quite sim
liar to those now proposed.
Agreement Not Ratified.
The cabinet failed to ratify the agree
ment at tOday's meeting. In fact, the
document in it's inception and various
stages Of development was regarded
as properly open to such doubt as to
warrant the belief that the foreign
| consuls, as a body, certainly never en-
tered into the agreement.
There was an apparent conflict be-
| tween some of the provisions, and in
/ fact the whole document bore the ap-
pearance of a rough memorandum
which the cabinet concluded could
never have received the assent of all
/ of the foreign consuls, even supposing
that some of them might have become
| frightened into acQuiescence.
| Therefore no steps were taken even
! to ascertain by direct inquiry of Con-
| sui General GOodnOW whether the
/ agreement was authentic and he had
! signed it. II was simply assumed that
/ if he had done so he would have ac-
| quainted the department, being in
ready cable communication. So the
matter was dropped.
