MINISTER'S WITH SEYMOUR
REPORTS FROM KEMPFF AND MINIS
TER WI RELIEVE ANXIETY
IN WASHINGTON
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

Washington, June 27.-To-day's developments
aging to the President and the State War and
Navy Department officials. The following cable
dispatch was received at the Navy Department
late this afternoon:
Chc-FOO, June ~.
Secretary Navy. Washington:
Peking force and Ministers reported with
miles from Tien-Tsin. hEMPFF-
The Chinese Minister has received dispatch
from the Tsung-Li- Yamen at Peking, dated June
49, saying that the Ministers and foreigners in
Peking were safe and well. and that arrange
ments were being made to provide escort for
them out of the city. The Minister called on the
Secretary of State and communicated the con-
tents of the dispatch to him. 1t states that
the foreign Ministers had before June 10 asked
permission for the legation guards to enter the
city, which had been granted. They afterward
asked that these guards be reinforced, which
the Chinese Government was not disposed to
permit. The dispatch then goes on to state that
the Consul-GeneraI at Tien-Tsin Supposed to be
the French Consul GeneraD had teegraphed to
the Viceroy Of Pe-Chi-Li that the foreign Ad-
miral had demanded the surrender of the Taku
forts and that the foreign Ministers were shortly
to leave Peking for Tien-Tsn with their guards.
SPEEDY RESCUE EXPECTED
Reasonable confidence is now shown in the
speedy rescue of Minister Conger and all the
Legation occupants, we'll as other refugees
from PekinS who are within eight miles of

but that would be Of no avail unless they could
also control the House of Representatives, and
yet it not until late in the campaign that
the sound money men could De aroused-so late
in some Of the States that seat after seat in the
House turned over to the enemy, and the
Republican majority in that body reduced
to less shan dozen. The losses were mainly
in States which gave heavy pluralities for Nc
Kinley in 1896 on the sound money issue. No
less than twenty-five districts were thus turned
over to the Democrats in the six States Of
Maryland, Massachusetts New-Jersey, New
York Pennsylvania and West Virginia A Re
publican victory vital to the establish
ment of the gold standard in 1905 as it was in
1896. Such victory this year is equally vital
to the preservation of that standard.
CHANGES IN THE SENATE.
If Bryan is elected the House of Representa-
tives in the LVIIth Congress will be controlled
by the opponents of that standard and the
Senate will be uncomfortably close. 1t may be
so close that the casting vote of a Vice-Pres-
ident elected on the Kansas City platform will
decide whether the gold standard shall be
maintained Among the States to elect United
States Senators who will take their seats at the
beginning of the With Congress are the fol-
lowing:
Colorado-To succeed Wolcott Republican.
Delaware-To succeed Kenney, Democrat, and
IdahO-TO succeed ShOup, Republican
1llinOis-TO succeed CuOm, Republican
kanSas-TO succeed Baker, Republican.
Minnesota-To succeed Nelson, Republican.
Montana-To succeed Carter, Republican, and
Clark, Democrat.
Nebraska-To succeed Thurston Republican,
and Allen Democrat-Populist,
North Carolina-To succeed Butler, Populist.
South Dakota-To succeed Pettigrew, Silver
Republican.
West Virginia-To succeed EIkins. Republican.
Wyoming-To succeed Warren, Republican.
The representation of these States at present
consists of fifteen Republicans. Democrat
and six Populists and Silver Republicans-the
Nebraska vacancy caused by the death of Hay
ward, Republican, having been temporarily filled
by the appointment of Allen, Populst. OF the
twelve States mentioned, eight-Coorado Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina,
South Dakota and Wyoming-were carried by
Bryan four years ago If he is elected President
this year there is at least reasonable probabli-
ty that he will carry two of the Others-Dela-
ware and West Vrginia-and that the represen-
tatiOn of the twelve States in the Senate will

NATIVE CHINESE INFANTRY

Tien-Tsin, where quiet apparently prevails
Minister Wu's Dispatch transmitted through
Sheng the Imperial Director of Telegraphs at
Shanghai, is regarded as satisfactorily indicat-
ing that the Ministers were able to withdraw
safely, and Admiral Kempffs dispatch showed
that they were within comparatively easy COM
munication OF the established asylum at Tien-
Tsin.
The chief concern of officials is now trans
! terred 20 the southern provinces and interior
towns where outbreaks may occur as unex-
pectedly as the Boxer trouble occurred in the
north With the legations out of Peking and
the anti-foreign element in unrestricted control
OF imperial power, action may be taken by the
Empress Dowager to inhame all the fanatics
IN the empire.
According to the best Interpretation nut on
Minister Wus dispatch, it was obviously not a.
consul" general at all that reported to the
Nlceroy Of Pe-Chi-Li that the surrender of the
Iaku 1orts had been demanded, but the Chinese
commanding" general Of the province, whose
headquarters at Tien-Tsn and in whose
jurisdiction the TalIu forts located, the Vice
roys residence being at Pao-TinE-Fu lust south
OF PeklnS. The foreign Ministers under these
circumstances may have received the impress
sion that war had been declared and therefore
felt compelled to ask for passports and safe
conduct out of the country, their request for
the strengthening of their guards having al
ready been denied It is presumed that tba
ministers and their families were soon able IN
join Admiral Seymour's force near Peking. and
that the march to Ten-Tsn was then resumed
until they reached the point where Admiral
hempf's dispatch this afternoon reports them
Admiral kempff's economy of words in this dis
patch was eXasperating to the Navy Depart
ment, but no doubt is felt that he was sure of
his facts and that the Ministers are within
sight Of relief The Peking force mentioned
FIRST by him is understood to mean the marine
guard which went to Pekng on June S, the re-
lief expedition having followed from Tien-Tsin
on June 13
THE PRESIDENTS HOPEFUL VIEW.
The President in conversation with callers at
the White House to-day appeared to be san
guine that the worst OF the trouble with China
had passed. He is reported to be looking for
ward hopefully TO a speedy settlement of the
disorders, thus restoring order and furnishing
protection to American citizens and interests
The President declared that the interests Of this
country in China wholly unselfsh and that
the work of the United States so far is based
wholly on the broad policy of protection To
Americans wherever they may be. He empha-
sized the fact that although this country is
proceeding along the same lines as the rest of
the civilized world there is nothing hidden or
obscure in its motives and purposes and that
China has nothing to fear from this country
unless she is careless of consequences

RELEASED ON RENOUNCING ALL FORMS OF
REVOLUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES
Manila. June 27.-Nine OF the insurgent lead
ers. including Generals Pho del Pillar Conception.
Garcia and Alvarez, were released here to-day
upon taking the oath of allegiance to the Cow
ernment and renouncng all forms of revolution
in the Philippines.
The released leaders were also required to
make formal acknowledgment Of American SOW
ereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more binding
than the oath which General Otis adminis-
tered, and was consequently distasteful to the
Filipinos. who accepted it with bad grace, fully
realizing the results of any violation.
Sehor Buencamino took the oath on Monday.
1t is hoped that the sparing of the nine leaders
will influence their men TO take advantage OF
the amnesty, which has thus far been without
results other than those of to-day.
