The sixth cavalry has disembarked

A gale at Taku delayed the landing

and to Secretary Root and for time
the text was not made public. Min
lister WI appeared greatly pleased at
this latest opportunity to be the me-
dunn of communication between the
American minister and Washington,
and the worn look of yesterday gave
way to a broad smile. Aside from the
contents of the message, it gave as
surance that cipher messages were
passing freely, and that the Chinese
government was carrying out this part
of its agreement.
The action OF the entire diplomatic
corps at Pekin, in agreeing not to
leave their posts without instructions
from their governments, appears to
settle that they Will stay in Pekin I'M

Chinese, as it is hardly probable that
they would be instructed to leave, in
the face of their own judgment that it
would be certain death. There is a
melancholy heroism in the attitude of
the ministers, not only in standing to-
gether, but in urging that any relief
sent to them be strong enough to give
the same protection to those foreign
ers and native Christians not so favor
ably and officially circumstance as
themselves.

NEW YORK, August 10.-A des-
patch to the Journal and Advertiser
form London says:
All efforts on the part of the British
and foreign governments to stop the
supply of war material to the Chinese

OF the restrictive measures decreed by
the powers prohibiting the export OF
war material to China.
An immense trade is done at Hong
Kong in the sale of arms and ammuni-
ton to both the Chinese and the Fill
pino insurgents. Indeed. the latter as
well as the Chinese draw all their sup
plies of this kind from Hong Kong,
where the merchants are determined
TO resist any interference with their
business

NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va,
August 10.-There is a complicated lit
| igation over the question OF vote on
dhe removal of the county seat to Pine
grove. On petition filed before the
County Court, vote has been ordered
on the removal Of the county seat TO
the last mentioned town. Long before
a move was made in that direction. a
contract was made for the erection OF
new court house in this city, and w
! l.. Huggef. contractor, has done about
$4,000 worth of work. having the foun-
datfon and basement completed. The
remoyaliStS procured an Injunction en-
joining the building Of court house
under the original contract. The con-
tract was modified TO avoid the objec-
tionable features of the original, and
work was resumed. The remoyalists
procured a second injunction from
Judge Melvin but the County Cours
obtained from Judge English a writ
OF prohibition and supersedeas, and
again the work was resumed, but on
yesterday evening another order was
presented TO the clerk from Judge Dent,
by which third injunction is grant
ed The remoyalists. The question is
what will be done next as the writ of
prohibition granted by one of the
judges of the Supreme Court prohibits
the Interference CT the Circuit judges
with the performance of the contract
and is returnable in September, and
another judge of the Supreme Court
grants an injunction, after the authori-
ty of the Circuit judges is taken from
them under the writ of prohibition, or
in other words does that which this
Court orders the Circuit judges not to
do. 1t is said u1at the last in junction
granted is not sufficient to cover the
contract under which the work is being
done, and the contractor is proceeding
With his work. The matter is now quite
complicated and the final result is
awaited with some degree of anxiety.
