Poughkeepsie. N. r.. Sept. s.-Coro-
ncr Bevier, Of Matteawan, held an in
quest yesterday in the case of the
skeleton found IN en old well on a
farm near Stormville, Duchess county,
nearly two weeks ago. The inquest es-
tablished the identity OF the remains
as those of Charles Brewer. a hand
who worked on the farm when it was
worked by Peter Austin and who dis
appeared IA years ago.
1t was shown that Austin and Brow
er had a fight two months before the
latter disappeared. In the encounter
Browers leg was broken, and as it was
never properly set the broken bones
were seen in the skeleton found in the
well. thus establishing the identity be-
yond pioadventure. 1t was further
shown by witnesses that there was bad
feeling between the two men. Austin
owed Brewer for soma farm machin-
cry. and the latter threatened to put
lien on the farm On July ,. 1886.

Defense Of The Legation is Said
to Have Been Impossible

washington, Sept. 8.-Minister Wu
arrived in Washington from Cape May
yesterday afternoon, and, although it
was near the close of tho official day,
he proceeded directly to the state de-
partment. II Is understood that he had
received an intimatlon that the depart
ment officials were desirous of confer
ring with him, hence his return to
Washington. For nearly an hour the
minister was closeted with Acting Sec
retary Hin and Assistant Secretary
Adee, the door being locked meantime.
and not even the messengers allowed
Cltrnnce. None Of the parties to the
conference was communicative as TO
the conference, but at its conclusion
Or. Hin repaired to the White House
with portfolio well filled with papers.
For several hours preceding the min
ister's visit Acting Secretary Hill and
Assistant Secretary Adee had been en-
gagged In short conferences and it was
gathered that the negotiations relative
To China were approaching another
phase and that another pronouncement
Of some kind was in preparation. The
fact Is recalled that when the United
/ States made its response to tire Rus
sian note on the Goth ult the officials
here expressed the belief that about a
weeks time would be required to de-
termine upon the next step. and at the
end of that time it would be definitely
known whether or not the troops were
TO be Withdrawn from pelIin. That
period OF time has now elapsed. The
reports from the European chancellor
les indicate that. officially ut lenst, this
important subject is being treated With
the greatest deliberation, and at least
another week. and probably even more
time, may be consumed in framing the
last OF the answers to the Russian
note.
Meanwhile the government has pret-
| ty we'll satisfied itself as to the atti-
tude towards this last proposition Of
zach and all OF the powers interested
in the Chinese problem IL may be-
that this knowledge is regarded as suf-
foient upon which 10 base another
forward and perhaps in this case an
| independent movement by the United
States towards the ultimate withdraw
al of the troops and the settlement
with China which the government has
had In mind since the beginning Of the
trouble.
There was a dearth of official infor-
nation from China yesterday. Gen.
Chaffee got through a dispatch dated
Sept. l. at Pekin, Indicating that
couriers are still employed TO close the
gap in the line of communication be-
tween Tien Tsin and Pekin. This dis
patch made no mention of the military
situation. and it was inferred that afs
fairs in Pekin remain quiet.

MADE DEFENSE POSSIBLL

London, Sept. S.-The Chinese crisis
presents no new features this morn

Regarding Russian action various
statements are made in Vienna and
Berlin, with an assumed air OF author
ity, but the balance of opinion leans
to. the belief that Russia is still in
elined to adhere to her action to quit
Pekin, whatever the other powers do.
The studiously moderate tone of EN-
peror Williams speech at Stettin is
much remarked. There was nothing
of the mailed fist" or Of revenge in
his utterances.
According to The Standards Moscow
correspondent Russia's program main
ly concerns Manchuria, and she needs
troops from Pelin to assist in the seiz-
ure Of that province, which is looked
upon as another Egypt Her with
drawal from Pekin is considered an at

rines OF the legation guards left Pekln
