Chilli, had been confirmed already by
the state department. Moreover, he
said all three statements bore evidence
of having originated at Pelxin, includ-
ing that as to Ii Hung Chang, whose
appointment necessarily must originate
with the government at Pekin.
The appointment of Earl Lii as viceroy
of Chilli is considered by Minister WI
as one OF the most important develop
ments III the entire situation. Chilli is
the great province in which Pekin is
located, and is the very heart of the
Boxer movement, SO that the great vice
roy now assumes supreme power at the
point of greatest danger.
The state department officials are anx-
lous to accept Wu's message as accu-
rate, but there are some clouds of doubt
about 1t. The question naturally arises,
as 1t has many times in the past two
weeks II the Chinese government can
communicate in this way with its repre-
sentatlves abroad why can it not per-
nit the foreign ministers represented to
be under its protection also to communi-
cate with their governments?
Confirmation of the transfer Of Ii
Hung Chang to the north came to the
state department not only from Minister
Wa but III a cablegram from Consul
General Goodnow at Shanghai. 1t is
stated that Ii Hung Chang has started
from Canton ON his way to Pelzin.
Ii the yIceroy can get into Pekin, he
also can carry messages to the foreign
ministers if Uhey are still alive, and the
state department as well as the Euro
pean prime ministers may seize the op-
portunity to make one more test of the
truth of the latest reports respecting
the safety of the legationers.
LONDON, July lS.-William Pritchard-
Morgan, member of parliament for Mer-
thyr Tydvil, July II, received by cable
positive assurance from a source upon
which he relied that the British legation
at Picking was still standing July 3.

So far az the United States is con-

indicates that the walls themselves have

a bystander expressed some doubt on
this subject, Mr.. WI inquired with
some warmth;
"Why is it that you belive the exag-

Minister Wa charges that the
powers have neglected moving to the
rescue Of the ministers in order to
gain from their massacre an excuse
for the partition Of China. AS it is
entirely certain that the interests Of
the United States lie in the other
direction, such a charge amounts to
nothing as far as we are concerned.

it OF any of the powers.

Death of Jacob D. Cox.

Saturday morning the very sad infor-
nation was received in this city that
Hon Jacob d. Cox, father of Manager
Charles N. Cox, of the Colorado Sugar
Manufacturing company, had died the
day previous at his home in Ohio. Man
ager Cox was with his family at Coils
bys lake, but the information was for
warded to him at once and he returned
with the messenger and left for the east
last night.
The deceased resided at Oberlin, Chic,
and was one OF that states best known
and most influential citizens. He serv-
ed term as governor, having been elec-
ted on the republican ticket.
He was also member OF the Hayes
cabinent, filling the position OF Secre-
tary of the Interior, with honor and
credit to himself
One of the sons of deceased is Kenyon
Cox the famous artist OF the Cosmopoli-
tan magazine.
The news was blow to Manager Cox,
who had no intimation of the severe
sickness that ended in the death OF his
father. He was man of wealth and
culture and had been identified with the
social interests Of the state OF Ohio for
nearly half cantury

The Conflict of Dates.

DR.. j. L, Walpole, secretary OF the
Peach Day executive committee and
Frank 81. Haskell, OF the committee, in
terviewed a number of the business men
of Glenwood Springs yesterday regard
ing the matter OF the dates OF their Tri-
County fair, which conflict with the
dates set for Peach Day celebration.
1t was the general sentiment of the
business men that, the fair would inter
fere very little with the number Of visi-
tors who intend coming from Garfield
county and especially from Glenwood
Springs. The people up there seem to
appreciate the fact that Grand junction
has turned out in goodly numbers to
every sporting event that has been pull
ed off ip Glenwood Springs for the past
two years. They propose to attend the
festival occasion in this city and it makes
no difference to them about the conflict
OF dates.
They suggested that petition be
prepared and that they would sign same
asking that the directors of the associa-
tion change the dates OF the fair.
All the business men seemed to be
alive to the fact that there was con-
hict OF dates and that this city felt lit
tie sore over the fact that the oates
would conflict.

ENTRANCE TO AN UNDERGROUND SAN FRANCISCO OPIUM DEN

In going through their streets and
alleys its sickening odor greets one on
every side. 1t pours up through graf
ings, out of doorways, through win
dows and crevices. The worst dens are
underground, where no daylight ever
penetrates. To reach these, one must
descend rickety stairways and pass
through alleys and passages in dark
ness which may be felt. The air is
heavy with opium smoke and foul
gases. Here, from 20 to 40 feet be-
low the level of the outer world, these
vilest of dirty, emaciated, diseased
wretches hide from the light, and
stupefy themselves from day to day.
But one can witness more than enough
of these evils without descending be-
low the level of the sidewalk. There are
plenty of dens on the street, of easy
access to visitors.
Here are people in every stage of
opium drunkenness-on floors, shelves,
hunks, tables, anywhere they can be-
stow themselves, and it is wonderful
how little room some of them manage
to occupy. Nearly all have a piece Of
mating under them, and each one has
his lamp and pipe and little pill box
full of the drug. The opium resembles
molasses, but is of a greater consist
ency. The pipe is of bamboo, about
IA inches in diameter and about two
feet long. To this an earthenware
knob, shaped like a poppy head and
with tiny hole in the center, is at
tached.
The smoker most maintain re-
Ginning position, his head usually
resting on a stone pillow. He first
warns the knob, that the opium may
not cool. He then dips little wire
poker into his opium box and removes
as much of the contents as will adhere,
and twists it around until it is about
as large as a bean, then holds it over
his lamp until it swells to about twice
its former size. 1t is now rubbed over
the knob of his pipe that the steam
may be released. This operation is
repeated-everalt times during about two
minutes, until the opium is reduced TO
soft solid, when it is roasted and
worked into a conical ring around
the poker, the point of which is now
inserted into the tiny hole and turned
around until the opium is detached and
remains on the pipe. The smoker now
carefully warns it again over the fiame
and draws for about half minute on
the stem. There is suffering noise.
No smoke appears, for it travels along
the respiratory membranes where the
alkaloids are absorbed. When the
pipe is empty it drops and a volume of
dense smoke pours from the ears. nose
and mouth of its owner. The knob of
the pipe is now sponged Off and the
process repeated until the smoker is
overcome and thoroughly stupefied.

dreams. EDWARD JULIAN.
