MINNEAPOLIS 'BREvITIEs.

D. H. Saul, the travelling representative
OF an extensive English manufacturing
concern. who has been at the West hotel
for the past few days and who was en-
route for China, yesterday received a
cablegram from his house calling him
home.
Andrew Metfala, 100 Dupont avenue
north, fell off his bicycle while riding to
work yesterday morning, and painfully
injured his hip. He was taken to the
Swedish hospital.
The university registrar will today send

Emilia Baronne. member of the Banda
Rosa. notified the police yesterday that
$35 had been stolen from his vest pocket
which he had left hanging In his board
ing house. Baronne consulted q clairvoy-
ant, who, for 81, told him the money had
been stolen by the man he suspected. who
had 1t tied up in the toe of his sock. This
didn't help Baronne much, and he notified
the police.

is not disputed, for, as Is pointed out,
the Chinese must possess quite a sheaf
Of such messages, which the ministers
fruitlessly endeavored to get transmit
ted, from which they could easily select
non-committal dispatch to serve the re-
CURED purpose. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Conser omitted to destroy the cipher
code, and that this is now in the possess
sion OF the Chinese, in which event the
selection or confirmation of the dispatch
would not be difficult. 1t Is argued that
the dispatch, If 1t were a genuine reply
to the Inquiries OF the American govern
ment, would go into details A slight
ray of hope is admitted in the fact that
both Mr.. and Mrs Conger are known TO
have been on very friendly terms with
the empress dowager but the universal
opinion here Is that If the dispatch is
genuine the date is falsifled.
The bare possibility that the news OF
the massacre was prema ture has had It's
effect, and the government has issued a
semi official disclaimer Of responsibility
for the proposed memorial service in st.
Paufs cathedral. while the newspapers
are calling for the postponement OF the
service until all doubts are set at rest.
The Spectator says:
1T matters not whether the empress
dowager or Prince Tuan is the reigning
monarch. Both are devoted to the ex-
tirpation Of foreigners. and not one of
the viceroys will dare to oppose the
anti-foreign policy.
THE plot has covered the whole en-
pire. Men who have dared to enter
Russian city, upon Russian ground, will
dare anything. The viceroys Of the coast
towns will soon have thrown off the
mask, and the only safe place for Euro
peans will be on shipboard.
Europe has a terrible task, in which
hurry is out of place. Who would have
dreamed six months ago that for 10000
regulars to have taken Tien would be
difficult and glorious task?"
The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial
congratulating the Washington govern
ment upon It's position, says:
Unless the powers are capable of re-
spending Immediately to Mr.. Hays ap-
peal by ordering their united force to
face and risk all for an immediate ad-
vance, the days, not Of old chivalry but
of modern humanity, are dead alto
gether."

and that general massacre of the 5000

letter is dated June 20. Mr.. Johnson
writes:

department that the position of the Chi
nese government is correct, but it is as
sumed to indicate that Yuan Shin Ka1
has thrown the weight of his influence
on the side Of the government
Yuan is considered one of the ablest,
if not the ablest general in China He
has, according to q statement made by
Lord Charles Beresford to prominent
state department official when he was
here last fall, the best drilled and equip
ped army in China under his command
Some doubt was entertained as to which
side he would ally himself with in the
present insurrection, and the fact that he
appears to have come on the side of the
government is accepted as evidence that
his best judgment Is that Prince Tuan's
rebellion is destined to fail.
ABSORBED INTEREST.
Throughout the day the Conger mes
sage remained the absorbing topic of dis
cussion. Secretary Hay was congratu-
lated on the success sof the steps he had
adopted to open up communication be-
tween Pekin and Washington for, while
the chancellories of the whole world stood
hesitating and inactive, he had adopted q
course which had brought a message
from our minister.
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI, shared
also in the universal appreciation Of what
had been done. He seconded Mr.. Hays
effort from the outset and it Is due to the
official machinery set in motion by him
that the communications were gotten
through.
1t is appreciated by the officials, both
American and Chinese, that there would
be suspicion in some quarters. Against
this it is declared that message authen-
ticated by the American cipher code, and
backed by the integrity of the officials
through whom 1t has passed must be ac-
cepted as authentic until something better
than mere suspicion is brought forth
Later in the day several messages were
received from United States Consul Fow-
Ter, at Che Foo, all strongly connrmatory
Of the news that the foreigners were
alive.
The fact that the cablegram from Min
lister Conger was given scant credence in
London official circles had no dampening
effect on the optisism Of the administra-
ton officials. 1t was pointed out by one
of the officials interested that the weight
of intelligence in the message was in IA
vor Of its genuiness. Beside, there were
the several strongly corroborative dis
patches from Consul Goodnow and Consul
Fowler. The fact that Mr. Conger men
toned the bombardment of the British
legation was considered good evidence
Lnat the OiSpdtcn was written subsequent
to the 9Th, as the best information here
is that the bombardment of the legation
did not begin prior to that date
1t was said at the state department that
1t was not thought expedient to give out
either the text or a paraphrase of the
message sent by the state department.

S. c. swanlund, St. Paul contractor,
was before Judge Holt yesterday on
warrant sworn out by John Almquist, in
spector of elevators, charging him with
violating the ordinance relating to ele-
vators. At the trial it was shown that
the defendant had made alterations In
freight elevator in the Union block on
permit from the building department.
Counsel for the accused contended that
the ordinance did not cover changes or
alterations, but that the original permit
and plans for the construction of the
building were on file with the inspector,
and this was all that Is necessary. Judge
Holt held that the point was well taken
and the case was dismissed although he
thought the law should be reme1ied to

Horrors Of War in China

LONDON, July N.-The Daily Ex-
press has received the following
from Tfen Tsin, dated July 49,:
THE casualties of the allies in the
three days fighting before the ma
tive city of Tfen Tsin exceeded 1000.
Ut is now certain that there were
several Russians and Frenchmen
fighting on the Chinese side. The
Chinese killed their own women
wholesale to prevent them from fall
ing into the hands Of the Russians.
Yesterday the whole native ciAy
was in flames, and the stencil Of the
burning thousands of corpses was
unspeakably horrible.
Among the incidents Of the fight
ing July 13 was the precipitate fight
Of 800 French troops from AMMAN.
They had been ordered to hold an
important front. but on being char
ged by the Chinese with bayonets
the entire detachment bolted, panic
stricken.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, July 2O.-(special.)
"A new phase of the Chinese trouble
came to light in this city last night when
S. c. Brooks, the leading hardware man
OF the CITY, stated that UP to less than
a year ago Cinnamon Of this and other
surrounding towns had purchased guns
and rifles In considerable quantity
from him. The purchases were made
at different times, covering a consldera-
BILE period. No ammunition was bought
with the rifles.
John Pc, ChInaman, who bought most
OF the guns, was asked by Mr.. Brooks
what he did with so many guns. The
reply was that they were sent to San
francisco, and from there shipped to
China, the purchases being made long
before the outbreak in China occurred
Mr. Brooks suspicious were not aroused
The hardware man could not recall the
number of rifles and guns sold but said
that an unusual number were taken by
the Cinnamon and they were arms of q
superior quality. The fact that no am
munition was sold with the guns indi-
Gates that they were not for use in this
section. The impression is that China
men in this country have for some years
past been surreptitiously sending their
countrymen arms. The number Of Celes-
tials Is small, possibly about twenty-four.
