The President of the United States, to
the Emperor of China Greetini; : I
have received Your Majesty's message
of July HI, aud am glad to know that
Your Majesty recognizes the fact that
the government and people of the United
States desire of China nothing but w hat
Ujnetand tquitable. The purpose for
which we lunded troops in China was

Hf-'cei t outbreak of mutual antipathy

with suspicion the position of the im
Plal government toward the missions,
the result that tho Taku forts were
attacked and captured. Consequently

calamitous consequences. The situation

We addren IbU message to yoor
which have lauded military forces iu
Your Mujestv'd empire.
I am to infer from Your Majesty's let
ter that the malefactors who have dis
turbed the peace of China, who have
murdered the minister of Germany and
a member of the Japanese legation, and"
who now hold besieged in Pekin those
foreign diplomatists who still survive,
have not only not received uy favor or
encouragement from Your Majesty, but
are actually in rebellion against the im
perial authority. If this be the case, I
most solemnly urge upon Your Majesty's
government to give public assurance
whether the foreign ministers are alive,
and it so, in what condition.
Second To put the diplomatic repre
sentative of the powers in irnirediate
and free communication with their re'
respective governments and to remove
all danger to their lives and liberty.
Third To place the imperial authori
ties of China in communication with (he
relief expedition j that ccopeatton may
be secured between them for the libera
tion of the legationers, the protection of
foreigners and the restoration of order
If these objects are accomplished, it it
the belief of this government that no
obstacles will be found to exist. on the
part of the powers to an amicable settle
nient of all tho questions arising out of
the recent troubles and the friendly
good offices of this government will,
with the assent of the other powers, be
cheerfully placed at Your Majesty's
disposition for that purpose.

Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre
vented a dreadful tragedy and saved two
lives. A frightful cough had long kept
her awake every night. She had tried
many remedies and doctors but steadily
grew worpe until urged to trv Dr. King's
New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured
her, and eho write9 this marvelous
medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit of
this grand remedy for curing all throat,
chest aud lung troubles. Only 50c and

July 21. Chinese from tho walled city
I report tht the foreinuers in Pekin nre
living, having taken shelter in a bomb
I proof building.
Ai.'Oiit iUUU Chinese were engngetl in
the battle here July 11th. More are
coming from Pekin. General Xieh was
imprisoned because lie opposed making
war on the foreigners, but afterward?
was released ou the condition that he
fight them. To this he acceded with
Iukewarmne6f. After the battle he
committed suicide. A large part of the
walled city was hurried lat night, and
today the Chinese held a perfect orgie,
plundering, smashing houses and fight
ing like demons over stores of silk", furs
and jewelery. Hundreds of dead China
men are along the uulU, women and
children killed by shrapnel aie lying
among the smoking ruiuc.
It is rumored that some correspond
ents have in their dinpatches averted
that General Dorwood thinks Colonel
Li 1-cum blundered in taking the Ninth
regiment tu tho right instead of to the
left, and that the feeling is strained be
tween the Americans anil Uriti-h. Tne
fact is that the greatest harmony exiets.
General Dorwood has asked the name
of Americans to report them for gal
lantry. All the wounded are doing well.

Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the beM

of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purlfieis, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect

Washington, July 24. Mr. Wu, the
Chinese minister, said tonight that he
hoped that the reply of Minister Conner
at Pekin to the recond ineseage ei-ui 10
him by Mr. Hay would he received with
more expedition than the lirxt, which
came to hand last Friday. That ims-age
and response took nine days. The c
ond message was sent by Mr. Wu Sun
day. Evidently Mr. Wu plact-a some
hope ou the talk of the removal of the
foreign ministers to Tien Tsui, and he
suggested tonight ttiat posidhly one 01
the Important uiessHges received irom
China iu the near future would tie
"Conger is In Tien Tsiu "
Some of the oftlcials here have noticed
with considerable interest Li Hiiiik
Cuan'a reported statement that (he ap
proach of allied forces near Pekin would
result in the immediate death of the
foreigners there, and it this connection
they point out that apparently the real
object of Li's visit to the north Is for
the purpose of preventing, if possible,
the advance of the relief column.
MINISTERS TO BE
SENT TO TIENTSIN
The British Minister at Pekin Appeals
to the Home Government for
Relief.
Washington, July 24. The Chinese
minister received a dispatch this morn
ing from Sheng, the director of railroads
and telegraphs nt Shanghai, stating that
the foreign ministers are to be sent from
Pekin to Tien Tain under escort; also
that th'i imperial government has not
only been protecting them, but has
supplied them with food.
London, July 24. The foreign office
has received a dispatch from the British
consul at Tien Tain, dated Saturday,
July 21, stating that he had just received
a letter from Sir Claude MacDonald, the
British minister at Pekin, and dated
July 4, appealing for relief. There were
enouih provisions at the legation to last
a fortnight, the letter said, but the
garrion was unequal to the task of
h Ming out agajnst a determined attack
for many days. There had been forty
four deaths, and about double that num
ber wounded.
The foreign office thinks the dispatch
does not affect the main question of the
reported massacre of members of the
legation at Pekin.
