WANTS EMPRESS TO RETURN
BEsEEcHED TO COME TO pEK1N
Forty Chief Chinese officials Sent ~
Memorial to Her-Want Emperor
Also to Return-Russians Give Up
Territory to Germans.

London, Sept pa dispatch of spe-
cial interest from China is from DR..
Morrison at Pekin, dated September
81, as follows:
"The recent punitive expeditions
have had an excellent effect in increas-
ing and facilitating the entry Of sup
plies, but nothing can be counted as
effective until Pao-ting-fu has been
RACED and the foreigners and refugees
at Chingting and other places known
to the generals are rescued.
IN. de Giers has addressed a memoir
ial to the empress dowager Offering her
the protection of Russia and asking her
to return to Pekin. Forty chief Chi
nese officials have sent memorial to
the empress dowager beseeching them
to return.
"The conflicting interests Of Russia
and Great Britain prevent a systematic
attempt to reconstruct the railway, al
though restoration would be easy
ut turns out that Cheng Wing Huang
whose death in Kasigaria was recently
reported, was executed under an i'm
perial decree at the same time with the
other pro-foreign ministers who were
executed"
Cheng Wing Huang was special envoy
to England at the time of the diamond
jubilee. He was hated by the empress
dowager, who exiled him in 1898.
The Russians, according to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Morning
Post, have virtually abandoned the
province of Chilli to Germany.
Ministers Appeal.
Pekin, Sept. 26.-All the foreign min
listers have addressed notes to Prince
Ching suggesting the return to Pekin
of the emperor and the escort. The
notes were informal and not written
in a diplomatic capacity. The writer's
do not consider them binding upon
their respective governments. The dip
lomats acted jointly in the matter, but
the letters were sent individually.
These did not contain any assurances,
but merely suggested the return of the
emperor.
Prince Ching undertook to deliver
the notes. the outcome is a matter Of
speculation, the doubtful element being
the influence of Prince Tuan and Gen.
eral Tung Fuh Slang, who may restrain
the court
General Chaffee, discussing the prob
abilities today, said: 81 do not believe
that any European monarch would en-
ter the camp of his allied enemies, and
I doubt that the empress dowager will
do so. 1t is generally conceded that the
restoration of the Chinese government
is essential. l have favored the with
drawal of the main allied forces at
Yang-thsun and Tientsin, leaving 1000
mixed troops to guard the legations"

Marsh of Allen, late inspector general

then repurchased by the state military

William l.. White, state Quartermas-

WEBSTER DAVIS FOR sBoERS.
Makes Strong Speech at Washington Which Great
Enthuiasm big Crowd Attends.

Washington, April o. Webster
Davis, late assistant secretary of the
interior, made profoundly impressive
speech at the Grand opera house last
| night before an audience that liter
ally jammed the auditorium and the
stage. Thousands were unable to gain
admittance. On the stage were Sena-
tors Mason and Allen, Representatives
Lentz. De Almond, Shafroth, Talbert
and Sulzer, the latter accompanied by
Judge Conlan of New York. Mr..
Davis address consumed two hours in
delivery, and evoked tears, derisive
laughter and enthusiasm of Il remark
able description. Some Administrations
lists We're in the house. They Missed
Chairman Moran'S uncomplimentary
references to the administration, but
the Kisses We're lost amid hurricane
of applause.
One man interrupted Mr.. Davis
when he was speaking of the British
control of the mail and cables, by
saying: Yes, and they own the ad-
ministration.' 1t was a crucial test.
| There was intense silence for mo-
ment. Then Mr.. Davis replied: Let
the administration alone. 1t is pa
triotic one and will do its duty"

ant points:
First-That there are 100000 British
in the field and only 10000 Beers.
Second-That the Beers have not
violated the Red Cross and the white
flag.
Third-That the British have done
both.
Fourth-That the British use dunn
dun bullets.
Fifth-That the British lost 1000
men on the Spion kop while the Beers
lost but 147.
SiXth-That Buffers army of 10000
and Whites of $4,000 were made to
suffer loss of 10000 men by 1000
Beers.
Seventh-That the attitude of this
country is continuously misrepresented
throughout Europe by British agents.
to give the impression that the United
States will resent any intervention in
South Africa by European nations.
Eighth-That the British Lancers.
after battle was over, lanced all the
wounded burghers.
Ninth-That n wounded British sol
dier asked fourteen-yearold boy
Boer for drink of water, and when
the boy offered him a drink out of his
canteen the British soldier stabbed him
to the heart.
The evening was one of excitement,
Mr.. Davis speaking with vehemence,
with pathos. and always with intense
dramatic effect. When he depicted the
gallant efforts of the Beers and their
success against an overwhelming force
of the British, shouts of derision arose.
When he told of the British acts of in
humanity, the auditors shuddered and
women groaned aloud. When he com
pared the Beers with the American
colonial patriots the excitement was
hysterical. Gomplacent Washington,
in its official circles, has been thrilled
tonight as it has not been in years.
