Nothing could be tarer, more phIlan.
thropic or carry more joy to the afllict-

c., of New York City.
Confident that he has discovered a
reliable cure for consumption and all
bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and all conditions wasting, and to
make its great merits known, he will
send free, three bottles to any reader of
the AMERICAN who may be suffering.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious

He has proved the dreaded consump-
ton to be a durable disease beyond any
doubt, and has on file in his American
and European laboratories testimonials
of experience from those benefited and
cured, in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Con
sumption, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Address T. A

A MESSAGE FROM CoNGER.
The Omission of Dates sCausesAnnOy-
nncc in Washington.

Washington, Sept. A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received by
the state department yesterday. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch OF
about the 9th ult. referring to the
proposed parade Of troops through the
imperial palace in Pekin. Like that
dispatch this is dateless as to Pekin.
The contents were not made public
but it was stated that it contained
nothing materially changing the sit
uation. The lack of date led to a de-
termination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming
to the state department from China
will have the date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received yes
terday from China referred to the state
of health of the troops, which gener-
ally is satisfactory.
1t cannot be learned that there has
been any marked advancement of the
negotiations between the powers touch
ing the withdrawal of the international
forces from Pelin. The plain indica-
tiOn is that the powers are acting upon
the hint conveyed in the last note of
the state department, and are bringing
all their influence to bear upon Russia
to induce her to change her mind as
to withdrawing her troops. For some
reason the authorities here appear to
feel a growing confidence that this
effort will be successful.
1t is noted as a fact of great signif-
icance that the proposition is being ad-
vanced to have Prince Ching return
to Pekin as the acting head Of the
Chinese government. The suggestion
IS made that the progress of this wave
of reorganization, while the interna-
tional troops are still in Pekin, prom
ising as 1t does speedily to provide an
actual de facto Chinese government
with which the nations may treat
without further doubt as to it's
strength, may solve the present prob
lem and put the Chinese question in
a fair way to final and satisfactory
settlement Much may depend upon
the attitude of Russia in this matter,
and the manner in which she treats
this appeal from the Chinese notables
may prove to be a test of the sincerity
of her expressed desire to deal with
the Chinese government as soon as
possible

THE FERlIENT IN CHINA.
News Comes Slowly From the Cap
ital of the Flowery Kingdom.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS ATTITUDE.

"Under No Conditions" Says the
German Ruler, "shau We Give Up
PeI<in''-Anothcr Undated Message
From Minister Con-er.
London, Sept 1.-The latest reliable
Pekin date is now nearly a fortnight
old. An undated dispatch has been re-
ceived at Vienna reporting that the al
lied troops marched through the i'm
perial palace Aug %, but it was known
that this date had been fixed by the
allied commanders for formal prone
made. There is no other news of any
kind
The Hong Kong correspondent of
The Daily Mail says that the Canton
officials have been ordered to transmit
all possible revenues to the north for
war expenses, and that all pay of Of
ficials, from the vicerOy downwards,
has been stopped during hostilities.
The Vienna correspondent of The
Standard telegraphs that he learns
from a good source that the Germans,
Austrians and Italians will remain in
Pekin after the Russians withdraw.
Shanghai and Hong Kong dispatches
express the utmost astonishment at the
idea of evacuating Pekin.
The Daily News suggests editorially
that Russia may have made secret
terms with China behind the backs of
the powers. The Standard expresses
qualification at the explanation that
the United States government does not
approve of Russias proceedings.
The Daily Express publishes an in
terview with a New York Chinaman,
Liu Chuah, now staying in London,
who admits Lii Hung Chang's "du
plicity and rooted antagonism to west
ern ideas" but thinks that the allies
have no choice but to negotiate with
him or to retire from China alto
gether.
NJ De BlowitZ, the Paris correspond
ent of The Times, asserts that the or
igin of Russia's decision to evacuate
Pekin was her desire to Illustrate the
schemes of Emperor William and to
correct the impression produced by the
kaiser's speech attributing to Emperor
Nicholas the initiative in the appoint
ment of Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee to the command of the in
ternational troops.
A dispatch dated Pekin, Aug. 22,
says: Chung Ii, a member of the
tsung-li-yamen and prefect of police,
visited the Austrian representative
yesterday, who arrested him because
of the Chinese officials completely in
the attacks on the legations.
An Austrian official dispatch says
Chung Ii was military governor of
Pekin, and adds that the Austro-Hun-
garian contingent is quartered in
Chung Lis palace. After his arrest he
was turned over to the Japanese.
1t is just possible Chung Lii may be
the Prince Ching" referred to in the
Pekin dispatch of Aug. q as endeavor-
ing to open negotiations with the al
lies, though there is a Prince Ching,
father of the heir apparent, lord
chamberlain of the court, and recently
commander of the Pekin field force.
Three members of the tsung-li-ya-
men, Ma Tung, Ching Hsin and Chung
Ii, it is announced at Tien Tsin, are
seeking to negotiate with the allies
| through Sir Robert Hart, the director
of the Chinese imperial maritime GUS
toms.

1t Indicates That Messages VIII
Hereafter he Dated.

Washington, Sept. 5.-A very inter
esting dispatch was received yester-
day at the war department from Gen.
Chaffee. 1t described the military sit
uation as eminently satisfactory, and
would have been of greater value but
for the omission common to all of the
other official dispatches from China,
namely, the date line.
However, taking into consideration
the fact that a cablegram was received
by the state department yesterday
dated Aug. 80 from Mr.. C0nger, the
conclusion was reached that Gen.
Chaffee's dispatch also was sent from
Pekin about Aug. 90 or 80. Cen. Chat
fee asks a very important question as
to the withdrawal of American troops.
The answer to that question, it is
said, might have been found in the
state departments answer to the Rus
sian evacution proposition. But that
answer, or rather synopsis OF it, was
not cabled to Gen. Chaffee until the
80 ultimo, and it is assumed that, al
lowing for the same time in transmit
tai as was consumed by Gen. Chaffees
dispatch, the synopsis has just reach
ed him.
1t is stated that no order has been
sent to Gen. Chaffee to leave Pekin
as the result Of any recent develop
met In fact it would seem that the
war department Is not able to instruct
him more specifically on this point
until the decision of the powers rcla-
tive to general evacuation is known.
1t was stated at the war department
that our position was unchanged; II
Russia withdraws her troops then Gen.
Chaffee will do the same. Meanwhile
it is gathered that conditions in China
are still disordered, and foreign lie
and property are still unsafe.
The dispatch received from Minis
.er Conger, aside from bringing the In
formation up to a recent day, satisfied
the officials that the minister at last
had received instructions to include
the place and date of each message as
an integral part of it. This promises
to do away with the great confusion
caused thus far in dateless messages.
The text of the Conger dispatch was
not made public, but it was authori-
tatively stated that it did not change
the situation. and was devoted some
what to expressions of opinion. 1t was
authOritatiyely stated in this cOnnec-
ton that Minister Conger will remain
at his post until further orders. Up
to this time he has expressed no wish
to be relieved, and the state depart
ment holds that since he has passed
through the perilous ordeal of the
siege he is not likely TO desire a relief
under the present more favorable con-
ditions.

MIDDLE STATES REGATTA.
DauntIess Rowing Club the Cham
pions of Harlem River.

DauntleSs Rowing Club the Cham
pions of Harlem River.
New York, Sept. 4.-The Middle
States Regatta association held its
eleventh annual regatta on the Harlem
river yesterday, and from every stand
point it was a pre-eminent success.
The entry list was high class and
thoroughly representative, the finishes
close and exciting, the weather fine and
the water in the forenoon all that
might be desired. A large crowd turn
ed out to see the races.
The contestants in the intermediate
singles were Joseph Pehensky, Bo-
hemian Boat club; NJ. A. Cornell, Union
Boat club, and Mark Davis, Harlem
Rowing club. The trio rowed level for
200 yards, after which the Bohemian
went to the front and led to the finish,
winning by length and half. Henry
Hilbers, Jr., representing the Wahne-
tab Boat club, won the second heat in
decisive style, with Jesse Powers, OF
the Nassau Boat club, second.
A bad mixup resulted in the junior
pair oar event Three crews started
the Nonpareils, the Pennsylvania
Barge club and the Union Boat club.
The latter crew jumped away at the
start, and at the quarter led by two
lengths. Soon afterwards the Nom
pareils were over into the Unions
water. when the latter crew crashed
into them Immediately the Union
stopped rowing, and so did the Penn
sylvania Barge club. The referee dis
qualified the Nonpareils, and he order
ed the race re-started. The Unions
finally won by length.
In the senior single sculls it was
thought that John A. Rumohr, of the
Harlem Rowing club, had an easy win.
Titus, the New Orleans sculler, led
for a while, but dropped behind Ru-
mohr and MehrOff at the three-quar-
ters. 1t was then Rumohr fouled
Mehrhoff, and the former was disqual-
flied The race was rowed over from
that mark, and Mehrhoff won, with
Titus second.
The race of the day was the senior
eight shell race, which practically de-
cided the championship of the Harlem
river. The Dauntless Rowing club and
Bohemians were the contestants. The
Dauntless went by their rivals at the
half mile and won by clean length
of open water The Dauntless' time
for the mile was 4 minutes and 49A
seconds.
A splendidly contested race was the
junior eight shell, won by the Metro
politan Rowing club, of New York,
from five good crews. The Potomac
Boat club, of Washington, d. c., was a
close second, and the West Philadel-
phia Boat club third.
Later a four cared gig crew Of the
Metropolitan Rowing club placed an
other victory to the clubs credit.
Max Hirsch, of the Harlem Rowing
club, won the junior singles, and Far
nelly, of the Union Boat club, scored
a popular win in the quarter mile dash.

Mr. Foote took exception to the remark
and said he knew Mr.. Griggs PERSONAL
ly, and knew him to be a Christian
and honest, upright man. Rev. Tur-
ner replied, and in the course of his re-
marks said that it was understood
that the president took an occasional
glass himself Rev Foote retorted
that it was not mortal sin If he did.
This latter remark brought number OF
the delegates to their feet, and they
charged Rev Foote with being a back
slider from the Prohibition cause. Rev.
Foote answered them all by saying that
he would sooner be a backslider than
be responsible for such remarks as the
Rev. Mr. Turner had made. For a
time the convention was in very much
of an uproar.
