In farming he devoted his personal at
tentton to the work. He knew very
many of the farmers. of Madison, War

their dealings with him were always
pleasant, for he had the reputation Vt
being an upright man. Later he took

DESIRES TO RETURN TO CHM

San Francisco. April 27.-Edwin II.
Conger, United States minister to
China, accompanied by his wife,
daughter and Miss Pierce, arrived
from China late yesterday afternoon
on the steamer Nippon Maru. Owing
to quarantine regulations and the ne
cessity of giving personal supervision
to the landing of his baggage, MIR.
Conger did not reach his hotel until 6
o'clock in the evening. Mr.. Conger's
arrival was awaited with considerable
interest. not only on account of his
connection with events in China, but
from a political standpoint. There was
great desire to know what position
Mr.. Conger would assume With regard
to the coming gubernatorial nomination
In Iowa. To representative of the
Associated Press AIR. Conger, when
asked II he cared to make any express
sion on the goNernorship matter, said:
Il do not wish to make any public
declaration at this time. l have not
yet had time to read the correspond
ence which has met me here. So tar
as am at present advised, see no
reason to change my position as eX-
pressed about two months ago before
1 lett China. L received two kilograms
from the United States. One asked me
II were candidate Tor governor. l
answered.: i ann not. The other tele-
gram asked whether L would accept
the nomination il rendered me. l re-
piled that would accept IL the nomin-
alton came to me.
Walt I'LL lie Gets to Des aIoines.
II do not care to nor will l say any
thing further in the matter until l
reach Des Moines. l do not know what
the situation in Iowa is, and do not
care to say anything definite until l
am fully advised. My present inten-
ton and desire is to return TO China
and finish my work.
Touching events in China Mr. Con-
ger turned Interviewer, and was par
ticularly anxious to know what had
been done by the powers in the mat
ter OF indemnity. He was asked for
his opinion as to the amount of in
demnlty the Chinese are able to pay.
Three hundred million dollars" he
replied, accompanying his answer by
the statement that 1t would be neces-
sary TO practice economy. The time
Of payment, too, should extend over a
long term of years.
Concerning events in China, Mr.. Con-
ger said that there was nothing new to
be said in that direction, as everything
that happened had been told fully, to-
gether with many things that never
occurred. Tales of brutality had, he
thought, been exaggerated. OF course
there were cases of outrage by indi-
vidual soldiers, which were not sane
toned by officers. These were but i'm
cidents of war, which found some pail
liation in the fact that the Chinese had
killed 10000 native Christians and 1O(
Europeans.

Leave for Home Tomorrow.

Asked In. regard to his future plans,
Minister Conger said he would remain
in the city until Saturday morning.
when he would leave for his home In
Des Moines, la. At the expiration of
his sixty days leave of absence he in
tended to return TO China. He would
go back sooner II anything important
should come up.
When told that it was planned by the
citizens of Des Moines to give him a
public reception, he said that all
though he did not care for public DEM
onstrations, he would accept a rccep-
ton at Des Moines. He belonged to
the people of Des Moines. In fact, the
entire people of Iowa had always been
kind to him, giving him everything
that he had asked for, refusing him
nothing. In return he had been COM
PEELED often to refuse the people of

Laurel, April 16.-The big Baptist
yearly meeting which is held annually
ut Smiths Hall near here has been
postponed on account of the prevalence
Of smallpox in Sussex county. The
meeting this year was to have been held
IN Sunday and great preparations had
been made for it. Many of the old
people here who have been looking for

ing should have been declared off.
1t is to the Baptists what the summer
camp meetings are to the Methodists.
Hundreds of people come from the sur
rounding country and the day is spent
in feasting as well as attending the reli-
gious services. Sometimes as many as a
dozen men preach during the day. Form

The mock trial at the Grand Opera

Such an entertainment was novelty
for the people of Wilmington and was
Thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi

the defendant and he was charged with
the larceny of fighting rooster from
William Lawton. Col. A. V. Newton
Of Worcester, Mass, who represented
the defendant and i. I. Handy, prose
cutting attorney, were especially amusing
in their addresses to the jury. Judge

10 the jury and gave them five minutes
to bring in verdict.
The jury brought in verdict of
guilty and Judge Curtis sentenced the
prisoner to confinement in the Mnuici-
pal Court from to 10 o'clock every day
for twenty-one years or until married
