CHINESE SITUATION.
No Change in Political Conditions Ha,
Occurred in Pekin.

No Change i'm Political Conditions Have
Occurred in Pekin.
London, Sept. 1S.-A special dis
patch from Shanghai says Ii Hung
Chang has arrived at Tientsin.
Washington, Sept. 1S.-The Chinese
minister has received dispatch from
Prince Ching, dated Pekin, Sept. s,
stating that he has been clothed with
full authority, together with Ii Hung
Chang, to negotiate peace and request
ing Minister WI to ask the secretary
of state to instruct Minister Conger
to open negotiations at once. Minister
WI has taken the dispatch to the state
department.
Washington, Sept 17.-Minister WI
was again an early caller at the state
department during the day and spent
nearly an hour in conference with Act
ing Secretary Adee He notified Mr..
Adee verbally of the appointment Of
Yung Lu as an envoy, but had no fur
Their information to communicate. He
was rather in search of news himself,
and was much interested in a short dis
patch from Minister COnger describing
the conditions in Pekin. The state de-
partment, while declining to make this
message public, authorizes the state
ment that the dispatch indicated that
no change had taken place in politi
cal conditions in Pekin.
Russia has not yet officially notified
our government of any change In it's
programme as to the evacuation of Pc
kin. In fact, nothing has been heard
from Russia on this point since the
United States reply was returned,
save one short note explanatory of
some obscure points in the first Rus
sian communication. It is probable
that this absence Of further communi-
cation on this subject is to be ex-
planned by the fact that the Russian
government does not confess to any
change in it's original programme. 1t
merely gives a different Interpretation
to the details of that programme from
the understanding obtained abroad.
The United States government is fol-
lowing precisely the same course as
to its own note and reply, so that the
effect of these diplomatic actions is
to leave the military commanders Of
both the United States and Russia at
Pekin practically free to determine
for themselves the propriety of evacu-
alton, according to the conditions OF
the agreement.
Since the first manifestation months
ago of a disposition on the part Of the
naval commanders of some Of the
powers at Taku to interfere with the
movements of Ii Hung Chang, our
government has been advised Of no
further opposition to his projected
trip to Pekin. Consequently, officials
here are puzzled by certain press dis
patches indicating that he may be de-
tanned through international jealousies
at the mouth of the Yangtse. If this
report should prove true, it would only
go to confirm the fears of the admins
tration as to the possibility Of an in
ternational conflict at almost any mo-
mpnt

really sensational testimony in the trial

ty, testified that Howard eXultingly
told him that he fired the shot that
took Goebe's life.
His testimony in detail was that
Howard stopped at his house in Feb
ruary shortly after the shooting.
Shortly after he came in Stubblefield
said to Howard:
Jim, yOu-all have been having trou-
bic down at Frankfort
Yes responded Howard. according
to the witness, 1--WE have raised hill
and cleaned the platter" and added, Il
never sight down my gun barrel but
what l get meat or money, and this
time | got both"
The witness says Howard was again
at his house several days later and he
asked him: Jim, do you mean to say
that you killed GOebel?" Howard, he
says, responded in the affirmative and
said he believed his mountain friends
would stand by him and that 800 men
could not take him to Frankfort for
trial

Chicago, Sept. 1S-In a struggle
with three robbers Sunday afternoon
Peter Hartman of Burket, Ind, was
murdered in the alley at the rear of
Silverman's saloon, 296 State street.

the thieves fled without rifing their
victims pockets. The police searched
the clothing of the murdered man and

all he had. Four arrests have been

An IrnDroInDtu Ring.

A marriage ceremony was performed
in Toronto recently, with a substitute
for the ring which, though odd and
amusing, was appropriate for the &C.
casion. The couple went over from
the American side of the St. Lawrence
river, but forgot to take a ring. AS
there was no ring to be had in the
house the resourceful clergyman sent
for his wife's sewing scissors and, with
the finger clasp, completed the cere-
mony.
