ADeDressIne Fact

Washington, July 31.-The depress-
ing fact is always in mind that the
Chinese authorities, by their own
statements able to communicate with
the 1egationers, for some mysterious
reason do not permit these unfortu-
mates to communicate with their own
government Minister Wu's exp1ana-
ton of this, that Chinese methods are
satisfactory to the officials here. The
minister, however, is honestly trying
to get a further comnunicat on
through from Mr.. Conger, and it may
be that success in this undertaking
will afford brilliant vindication. At
least, he maintains wonderful show
of confidence in the safety of the 1ega-
tions, and manages to impress this in
some degree on the officials and others
with whom he comes in contact.

Washington, July 27--Mr. Bristow's

given ont. He finds that Nee1ey's en-
bezzlements aggregated at least S131,.
z13, and says he was justified in recon-
mending the removal of Director Gen
era1 Rathbone. Whether not the
latter was guilty with Neeley, he says,
there can be no doubt that in the mat
ter of unauthorized per diem allow
ances, per sona1 expenses and warrants
unaccounted for, he un1avvfuIly appro-
priated to his own use the money of
the United States. For this, Mr.. Rath-

a General Rising Expected.

throughout China is now regarded as

sionaries throughout the empire have

SHOULD IT PROVE A TRICK.
Consent Given to Send Ministers
to Tien Tsin, if Killed,
THERE WOULD BEND REDRESS.

Washington, July 30.-The state de-
partment officials do not like European
criticisms more or less directly attrib-
uting to government lack of
whole-heartedness in the effort to get
to Pebin. They point to what AIneri-
can troops and marines have already
fered by them, and to the repeated
urgings of the American officials at
every point looking to a forward move
ment on Pel<in- And in answer to the
intimation that they are responsive to
Chinese efforts to bride by the de-
livery of Mr.. Conger at Tien Tsin and
thus seduce to abandon the Pekin
campaign, the intimation was given
that the purpose was to head off a for
NAL proposition, as the department had
been made aware by Mr.. GoodnOw and
Admiral Remey. it is presumed, that
suggestions of this sort had been
thrown out by the Chinese viceroys or
their agents, though these had not been
reduced to an official form. The de-
partment rather strengthened its po-
sition through being enabled in this
way to reject the proposition by antici-
patton
1t is pointed out that even should
the powers agree to any such PROPOSE
ton. we would not consider it until
Minister CongerS views We're known.
: 1t is explained that to agree to such
plan might result in sending the min
listers forward with an inadequate es-
cort and. if murdered, we would then
be stopped from demanding redress.

on free rural routes to receive letters
along the route, cancel the stamps and
deliver. them to the parties addressed
without bringing the letters in to the

AnadarlSo, July 3O--General Hally,
general a1loting agent of the interior
department, who has arrived here with
four assistants, to a11ot lands to the
Kiowas- Comanches and Apaches,
states that he has orders to allOt the

The Wichita lands lie directly north of
the Kiowa and Comanche reservations,
and are among the best in the terri
tory. The reservation is the best in the
territory. 1t is well watered and tim
bered and the finest of crops are raised
wherever cultivated. The reservation
contains 743, 61O acres, and was treated
for in 1891. In 1894 the treaty was
ratified and part of the allotments
made, but because of the interests of
the cattlemen no attempts have ever
been made to complete the allosnents
open the reservation. 1t is likely,
however, that it will be opened at the
same time the Kiowa and COmanche
country. After the Indian aI1otments,
