matter of the Savannah harbor improve
ment works.
Capt c. E. Gillatte. the present officer
in charge of the Savannah harbor i'm
provements, was recalled and continued
his testimony as to the faulty work done

the large discretion given to them by
Capt Carer and the lack of inspection to
hold them strictly accountable to the
specification of their contracts
According TO the witness, the mat
tresses constructed by the Atlantic Con-
tracting Company and passed by Capt
Carter contained less than one-third of
the material called for by the specifica-
tions and paid for by the government

dozon contracts awarded between 1886 and

supsrintended the work. although none
OF them, nor their company appeared on
the contracts as the contractors.
Mr. Cooper was still on the stand when
adjournment was taken until tomorrow.

Make Peace with the Powers.

Make Peace with the Powers.
London, July 1S.-The Daily Telegraph
has the following from Canton dated July
16:
I'm an interview with the foreign con-
suls to-day Ii Hung Chang said that his
mission to Pekin was TWO fold-to save
the lives of foreign ministers and to ar
range the best possible terms of peace
with the allied Powers. The American and
French consuls, while congra tulating him
upon these commendable purposes. re-
minded him of his pledges to protect for
eigners and to preserve peace in Southern
and Central China.
Earl Ii replied that he must obey the
summons to Pekin. but that he had taken
all necessary precautions. He added that
ne had received important cables from
Lord Salisbury and NJ. Delcasse, demand
ing the protection of the foreign ministers
in Pekin and threatening to take life for
life of the high officials responsible if the
ministers were murdered He told the
consus that he was the only man in China
who dared transmit such messages to the
Empress, but that he had sent them ver-
batim and that he did not doubt they had
exerted powerful influence in saving the
ministers lives.
He went on to say that, as the doyen
of the viceroys, he had induced all the
other viceroys except two, to join in a
lengthy memorial to the throne, asking
security for the foreigners, suppression
of the Boxers and full reparatbon for the
damage done and the lives lost.
TO the American, who inquired about
the actual safety of the foreign ministers
at Pekn, Ii answered that he had receiv-
ed no news from Pekin within the last
week but that IL they were alive, he was
almost certain matters could be satisfac-
torily arranged with the allied Powers
IF they are dead'-here he shrugged
his shoulders significantly and added, with
lowered voice-it is hard to tell what
may happen. l am going to Pekin prac-
tically unarmed, except for my bodyguard
of POO men, and that ought to be evidence
to the whole world that l do not favor
any fghting and of my pacific intentions.
| am old and in very poor health, and 1t
is a great personal sacrifice to undertake
such a journey in this horrid weather
After a moments thought, he said:
"If your ministers are killed do you
think my life may be taken in retalia-
ton while en- route?
This question received a general strong
negative reply. He then asked the con-
suls to wire to their respective admirals
to respect his own flag. and to allow him
a safe conduct 10 Pekin. He was evident
iy extraordinarily anxious about the min
isters, for. returning to the subject, he
said: My heart is sore about them. I
know them all personally. and am on
the best of good terms with. them
"IIe added that he realized his govern
ment had done wrong, and that Ii was
to show his grave displeasure that he sent
the cablegrams from Lord Salisbury and
NJ. Delcasse to the Empress, word for
word as he received them. He concluded
by asking the cooperation OF the allied
Powers in furthering the success of his
mission and said emphatically that he
depended upon them
