THE MORNING OUEGONIAX. TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1900. KEMPFFS BAD NEWS Pekfn Ministers Are in Terri ble Straits. CONFIRMS VON KETTELER MURDER The Powers Unanimously Asrree to Accept Japan's Offer to For i Blah Reinforcements. WASHINGTON, July 2. The Navy De partment today received the following cablegram from Admiral Kempff, without date: "Chee Foo. Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Runner from Pekin re ports legations are besieged; provisions nearly exhausted; situation desperiate. German Minister going to Tsung 11 Ya znun murdered by. Chinese soldiers. Amer icans, Italian. Duty legations burned. Twenty thousand Chinese soldiers inside, 80,000 outside Fekln; 3000 reported bound for Tien Tsln; still fighting at Tien Tsln. Communication with Tien Tsin by rail and river Insecure. KBMPFP." The word "Duty" in Admiral KempfTs dispatch Is taken to mean "Dutch," in reference to that legation. The Navy Department tonight received the following from Admiral Kempff: "Che Foo. Secretary Navy: Casualties to date: Corporal James F. Lannlgan. Privates J. K. Miller, W. H. Morris, B. M. Provensal, John Hunter, W. H. Nich ols, Boatswain's Mate T. Thomas, Gun ner's Mate B. Benson, Apprentice H. A. Broman, Landsman H. S. Eversen, seri ously wounded. Cadet Tausslng, Boat swain's Mate Holoyoke, Coxswain Thom as and 34 others slightly wounded. Ships crews all nations re-embarking. Soldiers and marine remain ashore. Captain Mc Calla on duty. KBMPFF." Captain McCalla was reported wounded in a previous cablegram, so the latest news indicates that he was not badly burn A feeling of disquiet was noticeable among Administration officials and diplo mats. The German Embassy showed particular anxiety for Information re specting the sad end of Baron von Ket teler, and in the course of the afternoon Secretary Hermann, of the Embassy, paid a special visit to the State Department. M. Thlebaut, the Charge of the French Embassy, also called In quest of infor mation. It was said. These visits revived rumors that an effort is afoot to reach an International agreement respecting the conduct of the forces of the powers in China. It was said this afternoon at the State Department that the only news was that there seemed to be a unanimous agree ment on the part of the powers to wel come with the utmost cordiality Japan's offer to furnish reinforcements for the forces now operating along the Pel Ho River In tho effort to reach Pekin as Ja pan, alone of, the powers, is prepared to throw into China whatever number of troops may be needed. The news to that effect had come to the State Department from all directions, and particularly from England, Russia and France. As far as the State Department Is concerned, it had previously accorded Japan a free hand in the matter of the number of troops to bo employed in China upon a voluntary and courteous statement of the purpose of the employment of these forces. A gathering in Secretary Hay's office, late in the afternoon, of Secretary Root and Secretary Hitchcock, taken in con nection with the fact that Secretary Long had been In conference earlier in the day with the Secretary of State, led to the circulation of rumors that com pleto developments were to be expected, connected 'with jtho strengthening of the X'nited States forces now In China, These rumors, however, were speedily sot at rest by the statement from one of the participants, that the conference had nothing to do with the Chinese affair, but related to some Indian troubles in the Northwest. Secretary Root did not hesitate to en ter Into a specific denial of some of the sensational stories which are persistently circulated every day regardless of facts. He said that he hac not ordered any troops to China beyond the Ninth In fantry from Manila, now on the way to Taku, and possibly the Sixth Cavalry, about to start from San Francisco for Nagasaki. The destination of the latter would depend upon developments. He said he had not ordered tho Fqurth and Eighteenth Regiments of Infantry to China, as had been reported In some Quarters, nor had he made the slightest preparation for their dispatch. Respecting the withdrawal of troops from Cuba, the Secretary said that he did not himself know which of the regi ments would be first brought home. Gen eray Miles and General Wood were try ing to settle that question, there being eorae difference as to whether the with drawals should be based upon the order in which the regiments had gone to Cuba or upon other conditions, such as the conditions of the service and the need at home for cavalry and Infantry organi zations. Secretary Long contradicted the report that the New Orleans was to be sent to Taku or elsewhere In China, and added that he did not even Intend to send out another ship to make up the deficiency caused by the disaster to the Oregon. After 48 hours' consideration and prob ably after consulting the President at Canton by wire, the Cabinet officers here have decided not to ratify the agreement of nine articles providing for the neutral ization of Shanghai and the Southern Chi nese treaty ports submitted by Minister Wu. There were some things in the agreement which the Government felt that it could not accept Such, for in stance, was the absolution proposed to be extended to the Chinese Government In advance for any outrages that might occur in the treaty ports. The Government has, however, no ob jection to the principles embodied In the arrangement, and has, therefore, told Consul-General Goodnow, by cable, that he might pledge the United States Gov ernment to commit no act of hostility so long as the Viceroy of the province is able to keep the peace and will protect foreigners. This determination nas been made known to the other powers. There is every disposition on the part of the Government to encourage such an agreement, for they will not only relieve the Government of the necessity of main taining a large naval force at the south ern treaty ports, but will tend to strengthen decidedly whatever opposition there may bo in China to the anti-foreign element headed by Prince Tuan. Our Government Is convinced that this leader does not represent the Chinese Govern ment. It also is satlued that the official class of China generally, the men of In fluence and learning, are decidedly op posed to Tuan's policy. Holding this -view, our Government is still convinced that a state of war with China does not exist, that we are merely opposing an Insurrectionary mob, even though that mob has been swelled by Chinese soldiers. TEANK OFFERING. One-Third of the Tvrenty Million Fond Him Been Collected. I.'BW YORK. July 2. One-third of the 120,000.000 called for by the bishops of the M. E. church as a 20th century thank offering, has been collected. Rev. Dr. Mills, secretary of the committee ap pointed by the general conference to take charge of the collection, announced this fact today. The fund will be devot ed to three objects.

The remaining 910,000,000 will be used for the carrying on of charity and philanthropic work, for city evangelisation, for the support of conference claimants, and for the pay ment of church property debts. The Ohio Wesleyan University subscribed $505,000, and Syracuse University $250,000. Other colleges and seminaries have subscribed generously. AT BRYAK'S HOME. Carter Harrison Frequently Men tioned for Second Place. LINCOLN, Neb., July 2. With the re turn to Kansas City today of ex-Senator David B. Hill, of New York, and J. C. Mc Gulre and Eugene Hughes, of Syracuse, N. Y., the gentlemen who have been clos est to Mr. Bryan in consultation over the platform and the Vice-Presidency, the conference stage at tho Bryan home has given way to mere spectacular features. They began today with the arrival of the Colorado delegates. So far as the plat form in which Mr. Bryan Is concerned it Is supposed to have been intrusted to Senator Hill to manage at tho Kansas City end. The Vice-Presidency is not so clear, but the developments of tho day seem to em phasize the belief that Congressman Sul zer is no longer running. Senator Hill and District Delegates Hughes and Mc Gulre are not for him. Among tho Lin coln crowd, now that the Nebraska dele gates themselves, who are for Towne, have gone, the name of Carter Harrison is more frequently mentioned than that of any other second place possibility. Mayor Harrison, it is asserted, would bo acceptable to Mr. Bryan, but It is believed that not even to his intimate friends has he expressed a leading preference as to his running mate. The new front porch of the Bryan home received its real dedication today. The Colorado contingent, over a 100 strong, and including most of the delegates, stopped over from 8 o'clock: until noon and visited Mr. Bryan in a body. A local marching club acted as an escort for the visitors and Hon. T. M. Patterson and Mrs. Patterson drove to the Bryan home to notify the occupants of what was coming. The musical contingent of the Colorado party attracted the most atten tion on account of their uniforms, all being dressed as Indians. The vistltors filed up the walk to where Mr. and Mrs. Bryan stood on the walk, a few feet In front of the first sfop leading to the veranda. Mr. Maloney introduced the Coloradoans to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan one by one, and when all hands had been shaken around, H. Franklin, of Denver, on behalf of the delegation, said In part: "Mr. Bryan: We, the residents of your neighboring state of Colorado, on our way to the Democratic National Conven tion, could not resist the temptation to call on you. In 1896, you. as a candidate for the Presidency, received between 80 and SO per cent of our votes, and I want to assure you that Colorado Is still for you and that we will give you a hand some majority again this falL You have been a brave and honorable and consist ent follower of the truth, and for that reason we honor and support you." Mr. Bryan responded In a speech occu pying five minutes. He said in part: "I thank you for this friendly call and assure you I appreciate your good will and kind Interest, and I am sure that the citizens of Lincoln Join with me when I say that I am glad to see you here. I am sure that the Colorado people are no more anxious for a realization of the principles of the Democratic platform than are the people of many other states. But I want to say to you that when Colo rado forsakes IS to 1 and when the people have ceased In their support of princi ples, I will be found still fighting, even though alone. The Republicans held their National convention at Philadel phia on the anniversary of the founding of their party, thereby exhibiting a parti, san spirit. The Democrats hold theirs In Kansas City on the Fourth of July, tho anniversary of the birth of the Nation, thereby manifesting a patriotic spirit. The Republicans would repeal the Dec laration of Independence. The Democrats would reaffirm it throughout the world. Where there was one reason in 1S9S for carrying Colorado for the Democratic ticket, there are 16 reasons now. Tho Democratic party stands for the samo principles in the North as well as In the South, In the East and as well as in the West. Ours is a party where Its speakers do not have to revise their speeches for each section of the country they visit." Mr. Bryan was vigorously applauded at the conclusion of his address. HIS BRAVERY REWARDED. Captain of a Quartermaster' Laattch Snved Several Live. MANILA. May 27. Captain A. T. Beck er, commanding the Quartermaster's launch Seattle, plying In Manila Bay, has been presented with a Bllver coffee urn In commemoration of his rescue of several officers and men of Company G. of tho Thirty-second Volunteer Infantry. On December 19, last, a gale was blow ing on Manila Bay, and a lighter in tow of the Seattle was caught In the storm between Oranl and Manila. On board the lighter were Colonel Craig, Captain Craven, Quartermaster Captain Rumbolt, Lieutenant Wllllams-Foote and 41 sol diers of Company G. The lighter was loaded deep with regimental property and stores, and made a heavy tow for the Seattle. Soon the seams of the lighter opened with the straining. She began to fill and the men on board were soon waist deep In water. They threw the cargo overboard, but the lighter began slowly to sink. A heavy sea was run ning. When Captain Becker brought the Se attle near to the lighter in order to save those on board, the towllne connect ing the two boats, got entangled In the launch's propeller, and she became help less. Tho lighter began to sink rapidly, and to save tho lives of those on board Captain Becker dove over the side of his boat and, with a knife, began cutting away the snarled towllne. This was dangerous work under the overhanging stern of a tossing and roll'ng steam launch. Three times the captain tackled the job. The last time they hauled him on board exhausted and unconscious, but he had cleared the screw. The Seattle came alongside the lighter and over GO lives were saved. Transport Warren Comlnff Back. WASHINGTON, July 2. General Mac Arthur cabled the War Department today from Manila that the remains of Lieuten ant Draper. Twenty-second Infantry, were received June SO, and were burled at San Isldro, Luzon. Another message stated that the trans port Warren sailed from Manila yesterday with a battalion of the Twenty-third United States Infantry bound for San Francisco. The men In this battalion have nearly completed their terms of enlist ment, or are lncapaclted for active ser vice. The departure of the transport at this juncture Is somewhat significant. She is one of the largest troopships In the service, and was relied upon to car ry a full regiment with all arms and equipment to China in case of necessity. Surrender of Aqnlno. WASHINGTON. July 2. The following cable dated Manila was received at the War Department this morning: "General Aquino, a prominent-leader of the Insurgent forces, surrendered uncon ditionally to First Lieutenant John O'Con nell, with the Maccabee scouts, on June 25, with 64 rifles and ammunition. "MACARTHUR." General MacArthur also cabled the fol lowing: "General Rlcarte, leader of the threat ened uprising in Manila during this year, recently very active, 'was captued July 1 by native police between Paco and Stano. .The evr-nt Is 'Important in relation to the conditions in Manila." . " MURDER OF VON KETfELER GERMANY WTLIj AVBKGE THE MIN ISTER'S DEATH. Conference Between the Kaiser and Vea BaloTr Berlin Press Excited. BERLIN, July 2. From well-authenticated sources the representative of the Associated Press is able to state that to day, after the detailed statement by Count von Bulow, Secretary of State lor Foreign Affairs, regarding the Chinese situation. Emperor William made up his mind to insist upon full satisfaction for the death of Baron von Ketteler, for which purpose ho reserved to send al together armed forces approximately as large as those of the other powers chiefly Interested in restoring order in China, The precise size of the forces has not yet been determined, but It Is expected they will amount to a score of thousands. A considerable portion of the German fleet will be sent aloo. This, is evidenced by tho orders issued tonight to prepare five new battlo-shlps for sailing. It is under stood that Prince Henry of Prussia hes requested the Emperor to give him com mand of this division, but It is doubtful if His Majesty will agree to this. The Emperor and Count von Bulow are fully aware that constitutional difficulties render difficult the dispatching of so large a contingent, but both are agreed that It must be done. In this they are sup ported by the singularly unanimous atti tude of the German press. Tonight a number of the leading papers are serious ly discussing means for fulfilling the Na tion's wish to mako reprisals against China correspondingly severe wlta tho outrages. At the Foreign Ofllce tonight tho situa tion for Germany was described as most difficult, especially since the latest news shows that serious trouble is impending in Shan Tung. The Chinese legation here is still smil ingly snug. Minister Lu Hal Houn told a representative of the Associated Press that ho was extremely sorry for the bloody events In Pekin, but he felt sure that the Dowager Empress wis guiltless. From an Interesting chat with him, the point seems worth recording that the Minister took It for granted that the powers will subdue the revolt in China and then arrange a new government. THE KILIiING OF VOJC ICETTEIiER. Germany oa Yet Undecided Hovr to. Act. BERLIN, July 2-Privy Councillor Hammann Informed the correspondent of the Associated Press today that the of ficial dispatch announcing Baron von Ket telers assassination was received here early today. It was based upon a direct, written message conveyed from Pekin and signed by Von Bergen, a member of the German Legation at Pekin, and Sir Robert Hart, the Inspector-General or Customs. It was addressed to the com mander of the European forces at Tien Tsln, and was forwarded June 25 by Con sul Zimmerman, the German Consul at Che Foo. The message contained a number of in teresting details. Baron von Ketteler, whilo riding on horseback to the Tsung 11 Ynmun (Foreign Office), was attacked by a large number of Chinese, who pulled him off his horse and beat him to death. An interpreter who was with him was seriously injured, but escaped and sub sequently reached the German legation. Herr Hammann supposes that there was more bloodshed at the legation, the destruction of which he declares was more alarming because, the message adds, that the condition of tho whites in Pekin was desperate, and aid was imper atively needed. It was also announced that the ammunition was almost exhaust ed. When Hammann was asked whether the course of Germany or that of the oth er powers toward China will be altered by the assassination of Baron von Ket teler, he replied that he was unable to answer the question, because Count von Bulow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, left here yesterday evening to meet Em peror William at Wllllamsbaven before the alarming news was received here. He supposed Count von Bulow will forego his vacation and remain In Berlin. Herr Hammann was also asked if the Chinese Minister here would be given his passports, but the Privy Councillor did not reply. GERMAN PRESS EXCITED. Argue for the Sending of a Xarsre Force to China. BERLIN. July 2. The press tonight unanimously deplores Baron von Kettel er's death, mentioning particularly his courage and strong sense of duty. The Kreuz Zeitung says Germany cannot al low the murder to go unpunished, espe cially if the proof is furnished that the Chinese Government has made common cause with the Boxers. The paper argues strongly for the sending of a large Ger man force, since they are assured of bases of operation at Taku and Tien Tsln. The Tageblatt talks more heatedly. It says this deed will force Germany Into the first rank of Interested powers, while hitherto she was behind Russia, England and France. The paper expresses confi dence that this unparalleled crime will create a sentiment of European solidity, so that the blood of Baron von Ketteler will become a cement uniting the whole white race against the yellow. The North German Gazette says: "Above all the International forces must now take Pekin and stop the anarchy there." The Chinese Minister, Lu Hal, counsols strongly thai the powers Insist that the Chinese Crown Prince Pu Tslng be sent to Europe In order that he may become aware of the superiority of Western civ ilization. He described the Crown Prince as a most intelligent youth. Ezpedltionnry Force Inspected. BERLIN, July 2. Emperor William ad dressed the expeditionary force to China at Wllhelmshaven this afternoon and In spected the transports. His majesty or dered that the First division, First Naval Brigade, should prepare to sail for China as soon as possible. Vlce-Admlral Benneman, at Taku, in announcing the report of the death of Baron von Ketteler, says the bearer of the letter containing the report of the baron's death also reported that the le gation Interpreter was Wounded and the Chinese quarter of Pekin burned.

The inauguration yesterday of General Alejandro Hernan dez as the first Cuban elected Mayor of Havana, and the parade have been the subject of much local comment, especially in the case of the parade, as it showed that the feeling of the masses toward the United States Is utterly different to that of tho "cafe popinjays" and other similar sources usually drawn upon here to discover public sentiment. Though the parado was not composed of big landowners or lawyers, or even of rich business men, still there was no question that it represented the majority of tho people. Every organization, as it passed the balcony where Governor-General "Wood and his staff stood, uncovered even during the pouring rain.

SUMMER TO TREAT AND The Climatic Conditions Are Then Most Favor able, and the Liability to Take Cold Reduced to the Minimum, $5 a Month-MEDICINES FREE$5 a Month Catarrh Is an obstinate and dangerous disease. It clings tenaciously to the sys tem, and grows more malignant with, each returning Fall and Winter. The time to take treatment for dis eases ot a catarrhal nature Is now. The climatic conditions are most favorable. In fact, the best of the year, the liabil ity to taking cold being the lowest, and ono month's treatment now will do moro good than two months In cold and rainy weather. Time and again Dr. Copeland has urged upon persons In desperate stages of catar rhal disease the necessity and Importance of taking treatment while the weather Is most favorable to a cure.

Now Is tfce time, and the opportunity Is Just what Is desired for the worst cases. Do not let It go by, but place yourself under treat ment at once and have done for you in the next few months what might not bo possible the next Summer. A majority of patients will only put themselves under treatment at the sea son of the year when they are suffering actual pain and distress, namely, during the "Winter season, when at times It Is al most Impossible to do anything for them on account of the changeable weather; then, as soon as the warm weather comes and the Immediate distressing symptoms are lessened, they flatter themselves that they do not need further attention, and oease treatment to wait until Winter comes again, when they go through with the same round of aches and pains and chronic coughs, growing worse, more de bilitated and more incurable each Winter TWAS FEARED SHE WAS GOING INTO CONSUMPTION Mrs. Tt. A. "Win die, St. Johns: I vras falling in health for three or four years. In the Summer I felt pretty well, but in the Winter did not know a well day. i-ast Winter was very hard on me and when I began treatment at the Copeland Insti tute I was Completely Broken In Health. Just after I began treatment I had grip and for two weeks we had to fight for my very life. The effects of this attack wero to greatly aggravate my symptoms and It seemed that I could never be well and strong again. I had a troublesome and vlolpnt cough, which was always worse In the morning hours. I had sharp pains and a distressed, sore feeling through the chest and lungs. I raised a great deal and frequently I spat mucus Strenlced "With. Blood, and sometimes bright red blood. Thero was a constant dripping from the head. Mrs. 17. A. Windle, St. Johns, Or. u which kept me hawking and spitting and the throat sore and Irritated. At night my throat would fill up so I could not sleep, thus adding sleeplessness to my other sufferings. I had debilitating night sweats and my breathing was Bhort and labored. After a time my stomaah became In volved. I had no appetite or desire for food. What little I did eat caused belch ing and great misery. I had lost flesh and waa so weak and feeble that I could not attend to my household duties. Part of the tlmo I was unable to do anything at all. I was great ly worried over my falling health, for sev eral in our family had died of what the Doctors Colled. Consumption, and I feared I was going into that terri ble disease. All my friend3 thought so, too, for I had all the symptoms. Some little tlmo ago I becamo satisfied that the Copeland treatment was what I was needing and I began a course of treatment, with results that were ex tremely gratifying and happy. In spite of the severe drain on my strength and vitality caused by tho grip, I improved steadily, once I began to mend, and now am an entirely different woman from what I was a few months ago. I will not go over my Bymptoms again, but I hardly I have an ache or pain now. Dr. Copeland's Booh Fre to AIL I UV1CVI3G3 Tuesdays aaa -dFrtdays. StOTDAYC Prom lO A. M. to X3 3S.
