CHINA MUST KEEP FAITH
China Will Be Held Fast to the Promises
Made Regarding Manchurian Ports
and Privileges.

Washington, July 24.-The state de-
partment has heard nothing recently
from Mr.. Conger respecting the Man
churian negotiations, so it is suggest
ed that the Peking report that the
Chinese government, through Prince
Ching. has declined to open any Man
churian ports, refers TO phase OF the
negotiations dating about two. weeks
back.
The reason for this suggestion is
knowledge of the officials here that be-
fore Secretary Hays departure for his
summer home the Chinese government
actually did pledge itself to open two
or more ports in Manchura. 1t is not
deemed proper here to indicate how
these pledges were conveyed whether
through Mr. Conger at Peking or the
Chinese minister here. but as to the
fact there can be no question. II, how
ever, there has been any change in the
Chinese attitude since this pledge was
given it is said here that the United
States government will not be moved
thereby, but, holding fast to the pledges
already given, will insist on their re-
demption.

ualIy Wanted Money.

st. Louis, July PA special from
a staff correspondent at Niagara-on
theLake, Ont, says:
.. j. Kelley has for the first time
given his story Of the $1,000 check
dated March 81. which was handed to
Robert Lee for his brother, John a.
Lee. formerly lieutenant governor, ana
upon which the two indictments chafg-
ing Kelley with attempted bribery are
based.
Kelley says that from the time the
1903 legislative session opened Lee
begged him by wire and letter to let
him have some money. He was sorry
for Lees distress, but he thought he
had given him enough during the pre-
ceding two years and was tired OF sup
plying his financial wants.
On March 26 1903. Lee went TO the
office of the American Queen, the or
gan of the National Health society IN
New York, and, according to Kelley
Lee said:
"You know. Kelley, you promised me
some money and l think | ought tc
have it.
Il don't consider" replied Kelley
that you have done anything Tor me
but | guess | can let you have thou

When Kelley reached St. Louis
week later he handed the 81 900 cheer
to Robert f. Lee at the Planters no

Mr.. Kelley showed the correspond
