RICHARDSON'S DISCOVERY.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Representative
Richardson, of Tennessee, leader of the

that Commissioner of Education Harris

An IMPERIAL EDICT.
1t Says Foreigners Were Under Pro-
lection on July is.

PARIS, July 21.-Yu Keng, the Chinese
minister here, to-day handed to the minis
ter of foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse an inn
perial edict. dated July is. giving the as
surance that all the foreign ministers in
Peking, except Baron Won Ketteler, the
German minister, were then safe and
sound under the protection of the imperial
court. The edict, which, as stated. is dated
Peking, July Is, was transmitted by the
viceroy of Marking under date of to-day.
and is as follows: For a month past with
the exception Of the German minister, who
was assassinated by rebels who are under
apprehension and severe punishment we
have ordered all foreign ministers well
protected by the court and happily they
are safe and sound
The Chinese question occupied almost the
exclusive attention of the Cabinet council
this morning and gave rise TO an interest
ing discussion regarding the origin and
value of kilograms asking for mediation.
1t has transpired that the telegram, which
fills about two pages, is signed by the
reigning Emperor. Kwang Su. who is the
head of the government recognized by the
powers. The question also came up as to
the expediency of submitting to censorship
kilograms from or to the Chinese authori-
ties. but the council decided to take no
rash step, at least for the present, because
il might afford precedent for violation of
diplomatic secrets. The council decided 10
take steps to bring the strength of the Chi
nese expeditionary corps up to a total of
1900. Instructions toward that end were
sent to Algiers and Tunis and the opinions
were taken of colonels of several dragoon
regiments on the formation of regiment
OF cavalry. If the government should final
" decide to send to China all the forces
necessary to re-establish order and enforce
reparation ii will also send strong rein
forcements to Indo-China in order to guar
antee the colony against all eventualities.

all appearances, with an uprising OF the
mass OF the Chinese people, who imagine
that the European powers for the past two
years have been aiming not to overthrow
the dynasty, but TO seize China. This seems
TO have given rise to spirit of patriotism.
We fear that north China will not alone
be involved in the anti-foreign outburst,
but that the YangTse Kiang valley will
soon be caught in the vortex. There have
been indications recently which inspire us
with this apprehension. The movement of
crilled forces northward is one of them.
The departure OF Ii Hung Chang from
Canton northward is in our minds a very
grave feature of the situation Much will
depend upon the direction in which his in
fiuence is exercised His reticence and the
absence of a precise Indication of his posi-
ton cannot be regarded as reassuring. A
significant fact in the present situation is
that during the Chino-Japanese war, when
the Japanese were infiicting serious defeat
on the Chinese, the viceroys OF the central
and southern provinces, in which was a
great number of drilled troops, were in
structed by Ii Hung Chang not to send
these soldiers north; but at the present
moment these troops are under orders to
march toward Peking."
The French government still entertains
hopes for the safety of the legations in
Peking, in view of to-day's advices to the
Associated Press 1t also declines to be-
lieve that any discord will break out among
the powers, especially between Russia and
Japan. Russia has her hands full with af-
fairs in Manchuria, where, II is pointed
out, she has been taken as much by sur
prise as have been the other powers. The
invasion of Russian territory by the
Chinese astounded the Russian govern
ment, which little suspected that the
Chinese were in such strength or so we'll
armed in the territory contiguous TO Rus
sia. That no present break will occur in
the accord of the powers is the general
opinion in diplomatic circles and spheres
One ambassador explained that during a
time of storm one could find wild animals
which ordinarily are the btterest of enc
mics and willing to fight to the death, lying
peacefully together in a single place of
safety. This, he thought, fitted the present
case in China, and so long as the storm
lasted the concord among the powers was
assured. After that it was difficult to see
the outcome.

positions on the Amur have been cleared
from Blgovestchensk as far as Khaberofsk.
Eight thousand japanese troops arrived
in Tien-Tsin from Taku Monday. July 16
Twenty-one hundred Japanese troops are
commanding the position at She-Foo and
1,S00 at Shanhai-Kuan.
Navigation of the Pei-Ho river from
Taku to Tien-Tsin is now easy and free

Owing to lack of houses. 300 tents have
been pitched for the wounded at Tien-Tsin
On learning of the bombardment of
Blagovestchensk the Chinese minister here
asked the Russian government to augment
as much as possible the number of troops
now being sent TO China in order to sup
press the revolt before it assumes greater
proportions. The minister intimated that
China preferred to see peace restored
through the Intervention of Russia
rather than Japan. He added that he was
still without news from his government
concerning events in Peking, although he
had been making urgent telegraphic in
uuiries
