NEXT THURSDAYS CONCERT
OF the New Haven Symphony Orthes-

OF the New Haven Symphony Orches-
ira.
| The most important musical perform
ance during the present season is the
concert to be given by our New Haven
Symphony orchestra next Thursday af-
ternoon at 4 O'Clock at the Hyperion.
Those who have been fortunate
enough to frequent these concerts as
they were given in regular monthly
performances during the season can
but testify to the great excellence and
merit displayed by the orchestra, while
1t must be admitted that much good
in musical culture has been obtained
by the attentive audiences. The Or
chestra is really a great institution
and New Haven has reason to. feel
proud of it. 1t has received much sup
port from the cultured ones and from
many who LOVE music but not sufficient
to equalize it's usefulness, and as we'll
as the financial help that is needed to
carry on such an artistic undertaking.
There Is undoubtedly large number
of refined people who also love music
who have not awaited themselves as yet
and it is the purpose of this article to
induce them to go and hear the orches-
ira, to encourage 1t with their presence
and at the same time offer some sub
stantial aid which 1t needs so greatly,
as to give it new hope for further
ance of giving good performances next
season.
The orchestra is really in need of help
and this last concert offers the oppor-
tunity to music lovers to rally to its
support.

H|NA HAS MADE AN , APPEAL TO M'k|NLEY
To Use His Good Offices to Extricate That Country
 from Its Dangerous Position.

the assertion is made that prefects and magistrates have been sent repeated inn perial edicts to protect the legations. Or ders also have been sent to the provincial authorities to protect the missionaries
 Possibilities Have Not Ceased
 While hostlities have not yet ceased, the Chinese officials are directed to give protec- tion to the merchants and others of the various nations in accordance with treaties, and must not fail to obey The edict re- fers to the killing of the Japanese Chan cellor, Sugiyama which it characterizes as startling. It says tht short time there after the German Minister was murdered while residing in the capital, conducting in- ternational affairs. The edict expresses the deepest sympathy on account of his death and asserts that stringet instruction should be issued to seize the murderer who must be caught and severely punished after termination of the present hostilties, to- gether with those who have murdered for eigners and missionaries or taken their property without cause. The language of the edict as given by MT. Fowler on this subject, is very much involved, but it ap- pears to exempt from punishment those who have killed foreigners connected with war" The Governor of Pekin and the Viceroy of Chi Ii are charged to issue in- structions to investigate and then to deal intelligently with each case of wrong doing. The edict states that recently evil-doers created riots deliberately rebelled and murdered good subjects; certainly, it says, deplorable state of affairs. All Viceroys, Governors and high military authorities are ordered to obtain accurate details, pre- sumably of the outrages committed by Chinese, and to make such seizure and take such action as the cases warrant in order to stop the disturbances.
 Beside the reference to the seizure of the Taku forts as one of the causes of the uprising, the significant feature of the edict is the underlying expression of the desire of the imperial government of China, not only to protect the foreigners, but to make reparation for the injuries they have sustained.
 A cablegram was received by Secretary Long today from Real Admiral Kempff at Taku, saying that the Newark was going to Nagasaki to be docked and cleaned. AL though he did not say so, it is assumed that he is going with her, as she is his flagship.
 Five hundred United States marines started from this city today direct for China via San Francisco. The departure was made conspicuous by the presence of General Haywood the commandant of marines and the full marine band. Major Dickens commands the detachment

Chicago, July 22.-The Democratic Com mittee will commence active campaign work in earnest this week. Senator J. K. Jones, Chairman of tho National Commit tee. is expected to reach here tomorrow, andhwiH immediately assume the direction of the preliminary work.
 Former Governor Stone of Missouri arr rived here today, and Daniel Campau of Michigan is scheduled to reach Chicago to- morrow. Chairman Johnson of the Execu- tive Committee is in Kansas, but will re- turn "Wednesday night to join .n the work
 The locating of the national headquarters will be the first matter to be disposed of, and as the rooms facing on the Wabash avenue side of the Auditorium building have practically been decided upon, this will not take up much time. Chairman Jones is expected to make known his list

BELIEVES ALL MURDERED
Former Resident of China. Thinks For
 eigners Are Dead

Chicago, July 22.-John P. Roberts of Shanghai, an American civil engineer who has spent thirty-eight years in China, and who left Shanghai last May, passed through Chicago today on his way to New York to visit his old home. Knowing the Chin ese as l do," said MT. Roberts today, T have but little doubt that all the foreign CTS in Pekih were murdered long ago. The Government is weak, and the mob un- doubtedly got the upper hand. 1 know too much of what Chinese mobs have done in the past to doubt that they murdered the foreigners.
 When an army. of 40,O0O regular troops Is all that is necessary to take Pekin," he continued, the stories to the effect that the Chinese have an army of 95O,OOO men are ridiculous. There are not more than 2O,O0O drilled troops in China. The rest are poorly organized and poorly armed. If they had modern arms they would not know how to use them, and they do not constitute an effective fighting force.

EXCITEMENT IN MADISON COUNTY Big Mob Searching for Negro
 Named Clark. ASSAULTED YOUNG WHITE GIRL If Caught the Man Will Probably Never Reach the JaiI-A Large
 Reward Has Been Offered
 for His Capture.
ASSAULTED YOUNG WHITE GIRL

Huntsville, July 22.-(Special )-A mob of fifty men from Dallas, suburb of this city, is searching Chapman mountain to- night for Elijah Clark, negro, 20 years old, who committed a criminal assault this afternoon upon Hattie Priest, 13-year- old girl of Dallas.
 Matte Priest and her sister, 10 years old, were walking through a field near the foot of Chapman mountain, when they were confronted by the negro. Both screamed, and the negro caught the older girl by the throat He whipped out long knife and told them that if they screamed again he would kill them. Sallie Priest escaped, but the negro held the older sister and accom- plished his purpose.
 The younger sister reported the occur renee to relatives, and a large crowd started off in pursuit of the negro at once. Hattie Priest was found in an conscious cot She knows the negro who assaulted her and has no hesitancy in identifying him as Elijah Clark, an employe of the Huntsville Brick Company.
 Sheriff Fulgham has offered reward of $50 for the safe delivery of the negro to the jail.
 If captured it Is very unlikely that he will ever reach the jail

DEARTH OF NEWS
 IN WASHINGTON Nothing Received Outside of Ad- mira| Memphis Dispatch NEWARK IS GOING 10 TAKu Minister Wu Has Not Received Wcrd from China, But He Continues :.
 Extremely Optimistic
 Had Many Callers.
NEWARK IS GOING 10 TAKU

Washington, July 22.-With the excep- Kempff announcing that the Newark was going to Taku, there has been nothing re- ceived in Washington today by the State or Navy Department regarding China. This was also true of the Chinese legation, Minister Wu saying after dinner tonight that he had not a word from his country today. The latter continued extremely op- timistic of the safety of the legations in Pekin, and hopes that the dispatch from Minister Conger received here Friday is but the precursor of more detailed infor- nation of a still brighter character from the Chinese capital.
 Many of his callers today inquired of him about the report that China had asked the United States government to exercise present crisis, but he declined positively to make any statement on the subject.
 At the Japanese legation, which has been source of much of the news which has recently come from China, the officials also were without advices today. Nothing has been heard at the legation of the re- port published in the American newspapers that the Japanese government is about to dispatch second division of troops from Yokohama for Chinese territory.
 When Secretary Hay received the Con- ger dispatch on Friday he promptly tele- graphed the fact to our ambassadors and ministers abroad, coupling it with instruc-

COLD FLOODED MURDER
Robert Bryant, Kentucky Farmer, In-
 stantly Killed

Owensboro Ky, July 22.-Robert Bryant a prominent and wealthy farmer, was kill ed at p. m. by Samuel Kelly. Bryant was 70 years of age and Kelly is 60. Kelly is a bachelor and is Bryants brother-in- law, and has been making his home at Bryant's for two years or more. It is said that Kelly today quarreled with Bryant and that the latter took a little grandshild and went out to the barn to avoid trouble Kelly got a double-barrel shot gun and followed him. He walked within a few feet of Bryant and called to him. Just as Bryant turned facing Kelly the latter fired. One load of shot took effect in the face and the other in the heart, and Bry- ant was killed instantly.
 Kelly fled, carrying the gun and ninety rounds of ammunition, swearing he would not be taken alive, but officers caught him in less than two hours and landed him in jail.

The First Accident

Paris, July 234 a. m.-About noon yes- terday the first accident occurred on the underground railway, causing great alarm among the passengers involved. It was due to inattention of an engineer, who had just passed the Hotel de Vilestatt. Stop ping too sharply, a short circuit ensued, the lamps were extinguished and the train remained in darkness for some time.. The engineers face was severely burned by sparks.
