Japan Demands China Produce
Ministers Outside the Walls.
ALLIES FRUSTRATED BY HEAT
Asserted That China VIII Be Ruled by Ten
Native yleerOys SabIeettO European
Head Chosen by the
Allied Powers.

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE allies are
reported 20 have reached PekIn Mon
day, says the Shanghai correspondent
Of the Daily Express. He adds:
Chinese official news is without de-
tall"
The Paris message reveals this. but
the statement. especially as it ema-
mated from Shanghai. must be accom-
PANIED with considerable reserve.
London papers are divided in opinion,
some believing that the allies have al
ready reached Pekin. others believe
that the relief will not be accomplish
ed until the end Of the week.
From Yang Tsua. August 9Th. the
Daily News correspondent says:
"sir Alfred Gaselee hopes TO keep the
enemy running and TO follow him right
INTO Pskin."
Ngan Ping was occupied without fir
ing a shot. according TO a dispatch to
the Daily Express from that place. dat
ed August II.
1T is believed" the message says.
that Generals Tung Flu Slang. Ma, and
Chung are entrenched. 10000 strong. at
Tung Chau."
Tung Chau appears to be about 12
miles from Pekin.
A dispatch to the same paper from
Shanghai yesterday says that the Of
aeials profess to be willing to hand
over the foreign ministers, families and
servants. but will not permit the de-
parture Of the native Christians.
The Russian government" declares
this telegram. has notified Ii Hung
Chang OF its willingness to receive De
Iicrs outside the walls of Pekin. thus
avoiding the entrance Of the Russian
force. This action is calculated to
embarrass the allies seriously. Japan
demands that Yung Lu shall meet the
allies outside the city walls and de-
liver the ministers and all the native
Christians"

ANTS IN CONVENTION.
Decide That American People Must
Put Away McKinley's Imperial
Crown.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 15.-The anti
Tmperialist convention met in Tomlin-
son hall. at II o'clock this morning.
Retween 300 and 400 delegates were
present. Edwin Burnett Smith. OF Chi
cago. was selected for temporary chair
man. and Irving wlnslow. OF Boston,
and ". ]. Mize. of Chicago. for tempor-
cry secretaries.
Chairman Smith. in taking the gavel,
said in part:
The American people must once for
all put away the imperial crown that
President Mckinley proffers them. A
self-governing people cannot acquire
and hold powers to rule others. The
proposal that the people of the United
States are. or can be. a source OF gov
errment. whether good or had. for a
purchased or conquered people. wholly
ignores the basis Of the republic and
does violence to its most cherished
ideals. They are organized to govern
themselves. This government is an
expression, not a source, Of authority.
Neither they nor their government can
exercise legitimate authority over any
but citizens Of the 'epublic.
There is place for none but citizens
beneath the American flag. It, there
fore. follows that all who cherish
American liberty: all who believe in
the universal application Of the pri~-
ciples of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence; all who would perceive the SUI
premacy Of the constitution; all who,
with Abe Lincoln. would repulse the
vanguard, the miners and sappers Of
returning despotism, should, in the
coming election. withhold their votes
from Mckinley. We propose % disre-
gard all minor questions and issues
while we drive from the temple those
who have betrayed the law of the Ma
TONS life"
The committee on permanent organi-
zation reported in favor Of ex-Gover-
nor George S. Boutwell,. of Massachu-
setts, for permanent president OF the
convention.
Much regret was expressed by the
delegates at the absence Of Carl schurz
and Bourke Cochran.
The public meeting in the evening
was better attended. and the reading
of Bourke cochran's letter was the sig
nal for tremendous applause.
The greatest demonstration Of the
session came this evening when George
Boutwell,. ex-governor Of Massacnu-
setts. concluded his address as chair
man with the declaration that he had
turned his back on the Republican
party and should support Bryan for
president.
/. George Mercer. Of Philadelphia. call
ed the convention to order. presenting
Edwin Burritt Smith, Of Chicago, as
temporary chairman After a short re-
cess the convention met again and lis
tened to a number Of brief addresses.
The permanent chairman, Governor
Boutwell, was accorded a great demon
stration when he took the gavel and
proceeded with his address.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-The ten
sion CT the Chinese situation has been
intense throughout the day for it is ap-
preciated by the officials that the crisis
has reached an acute stage OF moment
Gus import determining either for good
or evil the entire course of events.
One Of the new developments today
was the statement that messages are
being resolved from Minister Conger
which are not transmitted here. but
sent directly to the state department.
These messages came by law of Tsi
Nan. As far as the messages have
been deciphered, there is no indication
that Conger received any information
or dispatches from the state depart
ment. Nothing could be learned Of the
contents of the dispatches received.
While it is not known what resist
ance has been made or will be made
to the advance. at Tung Chow, Secre-
tary Root and other officials would not
he surprised to learn of a serious bat
tie at that place.
Word came early in the day to the
navy department that Chaffee had
reached Ma Ton, about 20 miles from
Pekin, This occurred Friday or Sat
urday
The feeling among officials was shown
in the extreme circumspection thrown
about all messages relating to China,
and it was announced both at the state
and war departments that communi-
cations from Conger rr United States
cnnsuls concerning affairs in China
would not be made public 1t was ex-
planned that this was based solely on
the fact that the crisis involved so
many possibilities Of hazard to eight
hundred legationers in Pekin that the
greatest caution must be observed
against disclosures which would further
imperil those in danger.
With the army at Ma Ton it is felt
that any one of several conditions
might be presented in the near future.
The Chinese officials concurred in the
belief expressed by the Chinese minis
ter at London that there would be a
speedy and sudden change and peace
within the next few weeks.
Some of the Japanese officials believe
that when the allies reach Tung Chow
they will find Pekin deserted city
ahead of them.
The arrival of President Mckinley
tomorrow is looked upon with great in
terest in view OF the gravity of the
crisis.
