her home. 1ol West Broadway, yester5
day morning From falling down short

Some. remarks of the 5-year-old daugh-

accident, have given rise TO the idea
that Mrs Baker may have committed
suicide. but these remarks are, the only
evidence that has been found and Coro-

No doubt Is expressed as to the man

Washington, Aug 6-Consul Cen
eral Goodncw's latest dispatch gives
the Chinese situation a brighter aspect
than it has had for weeks. II was re-
ceievd at the state department Sunday.
and Mr.. Adee. acting secretary of state,
issued the following statement con-
cerning it:
Consul Generar Goodnow, in a,
cablegram dated Shanghai. Aug. 3.
which was received at the department
OF state at o'clock Sunday morning,
reports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale,
at Tien Tsin, of messages from Minis

cation. Mr.. Squires, dated July 81, to
the following effect:
4 53s 's.All we'll. No fighting since the 18th.
by agreement. Enough provisions.
Hope for speedy relief.
Mr.. Goodnow adds that the director
OF posts. Sheng, had. on the 9Th, com
Emunicated to him an imperial edfct,
dated July 80. ordering Jung Lu to pro-
vide an escort for the ministers to
Tien Tsin when the ministers fix the
Z date. The edict says the ministers can
recieve messages not in cipher, but not
withstanding this plain messages We're
returned to some consuls on Aug. 4.
This is comparatively a complete
surrender Of the Chinese government
and a complete victory for Secretary
Hay, whose demand to allow Minister
Conger to communicate with his gov
ernment has practically been complied
with. This changes the entire aspect OF
the situation, and future action will de.
