A FAMOUS OLD nOSTLERY,
HISTORY THAT HAS BEEN MADE IN THE,
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL

A GATHERING PLACE FOR FAMOUS MEN--THs
The report that the Fifth Avenue Hotel is TO
be sold is again abroad in the land The same
report has been published and spoken of peri
odicaliy for decade, but the hotel still con-
t1nues TO do business at the old stand; it still
maintains its position the unofficial National
headquarters of the Republican party, and the
place by way Of which much Of the important
party news reaches the public
The destruction of the hotel would create a
void which could not be filled and II would
probably take a generation to secure for any
other place the position a political centre
which the house enjoys Enterprising hotel
keepers and interested capitalists have made
efforts to displace the hotel from It's position
but without success and, despite inducements
rates and other material points, the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel remains the favorite congregating
point for Republicans
story is told of John F. Smyth, who was for
many years the leader of the party in the Hud-
son River Valley, which shows how well estab-
hshed the hotels claims to Headquarters were in
his time
He was staying at d Chicago hotel for a few
days, and received telegram from Senator
Conkling which read:
Meet Monday"
He showed it to "a friend to prove that he
could not prolong his visit
He says nothing to the place of meeting
the Chicago man said and he may be coming
here"
III you were Republican" Smyth answered
you would know that Meet on Monday
means meet me on that day at the Fifth Ave
Hotel"
MADISON SQUARE FIFTY YEARS AGO
Madison Square fifty years ago was the con-
Vergng point OF several streets with the old
BoWery Road. The present square a big lot
occupied in part by squatters who lived in little
shanties. and one part of the space was a Pot
ter's Field.
Early in the forties the hand Of Improvement
laid hold of the spot, and in 1915 many of tn,
shanties were razed and Madison Square was
formed. Among the houses which occupied the
west side of the square the most important was
the cottage. and a half stories high owned
by MIR. Thompson. which occupied the site
where the Fifth Avenue Hotel was erected i'm
1853. This modest country roadhouse was known
as corporal Thompsons Cottage" and men
who owned fast horses used to meet there There
was a speeding track near by, and foot races
and other athletic contests were not infrequent
occurrences
Near the tavern the first circus that ever came
to New-York showed This was Franconis
Imperial Circus and Hippodrome In 1886 Amos
r. Emo, encouraged by the success of the Crystal
Palace in 1854 decided To build a block of mar
BILE front the side of the square
The scheme was looked upon as a wild and fool
ish speculation because the centre OF business
at that time below Bleeckcr-st II was the
time when the first steps being taken

NEGROESTO[OS[V VOTE
Disfranchisement of 5000 APP
pears to Be Certain.
NORTH CAROLINA FIGHT
BITTER CONTEST OVER ADoP-
TION OF AMENDMENT.

Raleigh, N c., July pa general
election will be held in this state next
Thursday. and the question of adop-
ton of an amendment to the consti-
tuition limiting the electoral franchise
will be voted on.
There is apparently little doubt As to
the result OF the election, both as 10
the amendment and the state ticket.
1t now seems to be simply a question
of majority. The opponents Of the
amendment acknowledge that 1t will
be adopted.
AS the amendment and Democratic
ticket will run very close together, the
Populists and Republicans have prac-
ticaliy abandoned their state ticket in
an effort TO elect a majority of the
legislature and return Marion Butler
TO the United States senate. The bat
tie has been fought on the race issue,
brought to the front by the proposed
franchise amendment, by which 80,
900 ignorant negro voters are to be dis
franchised.
For the past month a thousand
speeches a day have been made in the
state and the people are aroused to
such a pitch that bloodshed is feared.
In many eastern counties the Red
Shirts" have declined to allow fusion
campaigners to speak. On account of
threats by Senator Butler and his fol-
lowers, to prevent the election by in
junction of other methods, the legisla-
ture will convene here tomorrow and
adjourn from day to day till election.
The Democratic leaders say that if
there is interference on the part of the
opponents of the amendment it is GER
tain that there win be serious trouble.

ADVANCE ON PEKIN
MAY AWAIT HORSES

washington. July 29.-NOthing fur
Their has been heard as to the date set
for the beginning of the movement
from Tien Tsin toward Pekin A mes
sage came to the war department from
the quartermaster on the Lennox an
nOuncing the arrival of that ship, with
the COnemaugh at Kobe, Japan. They
have aboard the mounts for the Sixth
cavalry. and although they will start
for Taku at once. not less than five
days will be consumed in this last
stage of the voyage.
1t is doubtful whether General Chat
fee would care to leave TakU without
horses for the Sixth cavalry, particu-
larly as, according TO all reports,
mounted cavalry is'needed for success
full operations in the fiat country lying
between Tien Tsin and Taku. This fact
alone may delay operations until late
in the present week, though at least
4 portion of the international column
may start on the day fixed, which is
tomorrow.
Assurances received here show that
the japanese government is doing all
in its power to facilitate the interna-
tional movement. and though the good
will of the Japanese was never sus-
pected. as far as the United States is
concerned the knowledge is gratifying.
Secretary Long had a cable message
today from the commander of the Buff
falo at HOngkong stating that he has
sailed for Taku. The Buffalo is taking
out much needed relief men from the
naval crews and also has a lot of stores
aboard for the approaching campaign.

ROCKHILL TELLS
OF HIS MISSION

Chicago, July 29.-Special Commits
sioner Rockhin, appointed by the gov
eminent to ascertain the true situation
in China, passed through Chicago to-
day, leaving at $50 this evening for
San Francisco. whence he viii sail on
the Japanese steamer America Maru
on Aug. 3 for his post.
Mrs. ROckhill accompanies her hus-
band, and will remain in Shanghai
while he conducts his Investigations.
Asked if he would endeavOr to reach
Pekin to treat with the Chinese govern
ment direct, Mr.. Rockhill replied;
L think not. unless circumstances
warrant it, and the country is quiet
enough to render possible the success
of such an expedition. In the country S
state of ferment the journey of party
of Europeans or Americans to Pekin
could be accomplished only with fright
full loss of life, If at all.
II shall make my headquarters at
Shanghai. and investigate conditions as
far nOrthward as circumstances and
the troubled conditions will permit. My
sole duty is TO keep the president and
secretary of state advised as to the sit
uation. Outside of that 1 am not en-
powered TO do anything"
You are not invested with pleDipo-
tertiary power, then?'
NO" he answered. My orders can
be summed up in two words, investi-
gate conditions. In case the govern
ment has further orders for me, they
undoubtedly will be cabled.'

MESSAGES ARE NOW
DUE FROM PEKIN

Washington. July 29.-There is a
growing expectation at the state de-
parrment that news of the utmost inn
portance may be forthcoming at any
moment from Pekin.
1t is believed that the basis for this
expectation is the knowledge on the
part of officials that certain machinery
heretofore set in notion may result in
the opening up of communication
through some reliable channels 1t is
known that a second effort has been
made by our government to get an
other message from Mr.. COnger and
that nearly all of the powers also have
resorted 20 private agencies in their
own interests with a like object.
The fact has just been developed that
one of the last acts of the late Colonel
Liscum before his death at Tien Tsin
was to undertake TO send a dispatch to
Pekin. General DOrward the British
commanding officer at Tien Tsin also
sent out two messengers. and it is be-
heVed the Japanese did the same. Up
to date not one of these messengers
have returned to Tien Tsin, nor has
there been q word heard from any of
them. This fact, however, has not
caused the abandonment of hope, and
this is true in particular OF the mes
sages expected from Minister Conger.
Minister WI is perhaps the basis for
this hone on our part. and he main
tains an mistaken confidence in his
original assertion that the news when
it does come will show that the lega-
TONERS are alive.
The message reported to have come
through Nj ssionary Wilder at Che Foo
is regarded as most promising. Min
lister WI lad no cablegrams himself
today. nor had the state department
any directly from China.

Missionaries at Pao Ting Flu Feared
to Go or Stay.

New York, July 29-The American
Bible society has received a letter from
Charles +. Cannon. it's agent in Tien
Tsin, dated June T. Mr.. Cannon, after
detailing the events up to the date of
the letter, including the killing of Eng
lish Missionaries Robinson and Nor
man. says
"The missionaries at Pao Ting Flu
have thus far and wisely. too, refused
TO leave there. With the railway de-
strOyed and boat travel certainly fatal,
they cannot leave and with the gov
eminent utterly helpless and soldiers
so thoroughly in sympathy with the
Boxers there is cause to fear for their
safety, although the minister has
warned the officials to give them pro-
lection. The railway authorities are
trying hard TO maintain communica-
ton with Pekin Cthe heads of the de-
partments being British, but the line
is daily interrupted by the burning Of
bridges and stations and trains are
frequently returning. being unable 70
get through. The Chinese troops sent
to guard the line have failed 10 accom-
plish anything and even II they were
not in sympathy with the present anti
foreign movement and largely mem
bers of the Boxer society. there is ev-
cry reason to believe that they have
secret instructions not to resist nor
punish the Boxers. Meanwhile the
powers have been daily landing sailors
and marines. and Tien Tsin is one
great military post, full of moving pa
trolls and with guards stationed at eV-
cry vulnerable point. Twenty men-of-
war are now at the mouth of the river
and more are coming"

WORK OF THE NINTH.
Colonel Coolidge Makes His Official
Report.

Washington, July 29.-The war de-
Lieutenant Colonel Coolidge, who as
sumed command of the Ninth infantry
after the death of Colonel Liscum, Civ
ing in part the part played by that or
ganiZatiOn during the lighting at Tien
Tsin. The report is as follows:
che Foo.-Corbin, Washington. Six
companies of the Ninth infantry under
Liscum, with marines commanded by
Mead. and British forces under Gen
eral Dorward, in conjunction with
French and Japanese, and attacked the
southwest part of walled city at day
break on the 18th.
The Ninth infantry on the right
were east of the south gate. protecting
the allied forces from fianking fire.
After being under fire for fifteen hours
they were withdrawn to the outer mud
wall at night.
Ninth infantry had seventeen killed,
sixty wounded and one missing out of
400 engaged at this point.
Company A. posted at the railroad
station east OF the Pei Ho, was eX-
posed to heavy shrapnel fire, losing two
killed and seven wounded, in addition
to the foregoing.
ION the morning Of the 14th the ia
Danese blew uD the south gate, enter
ing the walled city. Allied forces en-
tered town Assigned the southwest
quarter to the Americans for police and
protection. Guards were established in
the American quarter, which was al
ready on fire.

peror Kwang Hsu to the throne. The
editor devoted three pages of his Amer
lean paper yesterday to a scorching OF
the consul general and an alleged ex-
posture of his weakness and deception
The consul general retaliates with the
explanation that the editor is leading
a revolutionary party which has 1900
members in Chinatown. all of whom he
has watched by spies and detectives.
Referring to a charge of Chong that
HO Vow had caused his (ChOng's) rela-
tiyes in China to be imprisoned, Ho
Vow said:
His relatives were cast into prison
simply because they were IN league
with him to overthrow the present
dynasty. We had documentary evia
dence against them showing that they
were in a traitorOus league. That any
women were imprisoned l do not be-
heve
"A few months ago a young man
named Homer Lee, graduate or
the Stanford university, sailed for
China, presumably to lead the revOlu
tionary party Documents were dis
covered to prove mis- mission and to
connect him with this reform assOcia-
ton. On July Il. the next steamer af-
ter the one that had carried this young
American. Homer Lee, took LeOng Kai
Chew, who, with Kang You Wei, is
head of the revolution, away from Hon
olulu on his way 10 China. The plan
of Homer Lee and his Chinese Schem-
ers was to raise an army of 10000 NAL
contents in the southern treaty ports
of the empire and march to Pekin. 1t
was not long ago th2t we succeeded in
intercepting at Canton more than 1000
uniforms intended for this reform
army. They had been manufactured
in the Straits settlements and shipped
from Singapore.
ITO illustrate the absurdity of the
claims that this is purely a patriotic
reform movement it is necessary to re-
fer to but one among many of the
clauses in their proclamations. 1t pro-
claims that any one contributing 500
to the Reform ;sociation fund shall
be made a general: any one contribute
ing $1,000 shall be made a vieeroy, and
any one giving $4,000 shall be made a
prince of the royal blood"

EASY TO MERGE ALLIES.
General Wilson Talks of Expedition
to Pekin

New York, July 29.-Brigadier Gen
eral James H. Wilson departed tonight
for San Francisco, where he will en-
bark on Aug. on the Japanese steamer
America Maru for China. He was ac-
companied by his aides, Lieutenants j.
H. Reeves and G.. s. Turner.
When asked if he thought the var
iouS foreign forces in China could be
merged into homogeneous whole, the
general said that such a thing was
possible, and that it depended largely
on the skill and tact of the generalissi-
mo. In view of the pressing needs of
the situation, he said he felt sure there
would be no great difficulties in the or
ganization of the allied forces. He said
there would be much preparation re-
quired for the advance on account of
the scarcity of forage along the routes
to Pekin.
ut will be necessary" said he, "for
an army to take great quantities of
supplies. The country is poor 1t is a
low plain, almost devoid of vegetation.
There are no trees of any account
which could be used fore frewood. The
natives even Scrape the bark from the
trees to get fuel. They burn weeds and
rice stalks. There is little to be got by
fOraging, ami there is practically moth
ing to plumber, and an army would have
to take supplies of every kind, inelud-
ing fuel and water. The question of
supplies is, in fact, the principal one.
Further than that it is difficult to
say much, and l do not wish to be
placed in the position of judging the
situation before 1 am thoroughly famil-
lar with it. There are no mountains
or other natural obstacles. There are
no strong Notifications. 1t is easy, of
course, to throw up entertainments.
1.-The Chinese will have the same diff
ficulties to contend with as far as sup
plies are concerned as the allies must
encounter. 1t will be impossible to
maintain great hordes of men without
something on which they may feed.
I'm these military operations, the
great base will be the sea. Supplies
can be brought up the Pei Ho river
and its branches to within twelve miles
of Pekin, and then there is the railroad.
Even If it is torn UP il viii not be so
difficult to get it into operation soon.
1.-The Chinese have only a vague no.
ton of western tactics. They have had
German drillmasters. but, generally,
they have been drilling only when they
felt like it. They are good fighters
when they are winning. and they take
killing WELL They do not fight well
when they begin to lose and are easily
Stampeded."
