STATE DEPARTMENT WAITS ANSWER
Upon Which Will Depend Future ! Ac

Safety of Ministers. !!
"WASHINGTON, July" 24. The State
Department Is agalnln a waiting atti
tude regarding China. It has frankly,
promptly and folly answered the Chi
nese Emperor apical for' mediation,
and the eorresiiondenee given publicity
today (See Sth iige of this Issue1 of tlie
Sfa teaman. Ed.j makes it appear that
the next move Is for the Chinese Gov
ernment. It U to accept or reject! our
terms at nee, and in either tiwe the
answer must convey tiding of j the
state of affair at Pekin. and the wel
fare of the I.egatiouers. ; 1
The belief is not credited here that
the ehaucea for nRHliatlou are slight.
Mediation cannot : ue iorceu npou a
larty to a cause; it iuust Ik? acceptable
to ail iartie. If the United State is
to mediate in China's interest, she
iutixt nrst secure tne assent 01 au tue
powers who have suffered in life or
property at Pekin. The difficulties in
the way of such an undertakurgjarc
likely to Ie many and serious, in view
of the exhibition of feeling in Eurpie,
Hut it Is said here that the United
State will cheerfully undertake tlie
task, provided Its conditions areOnet.
If it doe not sueceed in inducing tlie
Ettrotean owers to le lenient in their
treatment of the Government of CUiiia
the Cuited States Government will not
lie drawn Into further hostilities after
"wehave taken care of our own affairs,
but wj-e, will withdraw, taking eiire.
iHiHfrr, to lei u tn uuncrMixKi iiai
this Government will not allow: Us
projier interests in China to lie injured
by tlie action of any of the powers uiat
may choose to remain oldurale. I
At h'ast one of tbe greatest. jiowers
Is under strong suspicion here of act
ing cold bloodtnlly and without regard
to sentiment or any more than tlie
most material of considerations, ft is
lielieved here that this wer Is quiet
ly taking measures to drop out of the
league at Tien Tsin. arid conduct a
campaign on its own account against.
Pekin, aud it is even suspected that
this Government is already moving
" troop toward the Chinese capita lj
One fact, regarded as now tteyond
need of further demonstration, in riew
of the Chinese a Pieal. is that the Chi
nese officii! at the coast ports are ac
tually hi communication with what
ever remain. of the- Imperial Govern
ment at Pekin. and the text of Kwang
Su's appeal appears .to establish the
fact that the Chinese Government it
self Is S.-11U t ioiiinu the resistatK-r of
tlie International advance uhu Pekin.

tween the powers hare, brought out
iiiuiuai axsuraucea mat tne military
expeditions to China are. for the sole
purpose of relieving the legations.! and i
that there Is no Intention to partition
China. Hence, sliotiht China agree to
deliver the Ministers alive, no ixwer
will have reason for continuing! ag
gressive military oitcratious extvpt
Germany, whose Minister is undoubt

As for the other powers, it is em
pnatically stated that they have unani
mously agreed Hunt. With the ji f !.
livery of the Ministers, the aggressive
campaign will end. It may, with safe
ty, lie stated that, should the Ministers
prove to be alive, the Chinese Govern
ment will to some extent use thiu as
a lever to compel the Euroitean ! and
American missionaries and commercial
enterprise to moderate their activity.

Berlin, July 24. Count Von Buelow.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, made re
ply today to the apteal of the Eni
l'ror of China for Herman mediation
etween the powers and tbe Chinese
Government. In sulstance. Count Von
liuelow said he would not submit the
telegram from the I'ekttv Uoverament
to the Emperor, so long as the fates
oT the legations and other foreigners
in I'ekin, were not ascertained,! nad

A FRENCH REIORT. i j
Paris. July 21.-M. Ihl Casse, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, has received a
cablegram from the French consul at
Shanghai, dated July 'Sid. which says:
IJ Ilunjf Chang has just assure,! me
that M. IMchon tFrench Minister to
Chinaris living, and he has agreed to
transmit to him a message from me,
riu.'stlng a reply withiu five days."
PROOF IS WANTED. ;
Txndon. July 24. One month to the
day has elapsed since Sir RobertHnrt.
lire-tor of the Chinese Maritime Cus
toms, smuggled ont of Pekin the last
piece of news that appeals 'author
itatively to Europe, and apparently the
only method by which the, Chinese
court can vindicate its veracity here
Is to transmit another autograph let
ter from some authoritative nource.
Adniittedlj-. the Tsung Li Yamun
possesses facilities to set all doubts at
rest LI Hnng Chang's reported state
ment to the effect that while tlrfsfor
eignem are alive, tbey would be killed
Immediately if the allied forces Bear
ed rekln. Is regarded by those who
credit the reported survival of the
Foreign Ministers as an Indication that
the latter are held as hostages, and
that their lives will be made the sub
ject of negotiations by the Chinese.
Hence Li Hung Chang's anxiety to
fceep the powers from I'eklu as long
as possible.

LAST LETTER
British Ministers Appeal fcr Aid,

Difficulties of the Allied Forces in Op
f posing the Chinese Bravery
of Japanese Troops.
' LONDON. July 25. Sir Chtnde Mac
Donald's message, dated July 4th. ap
leallng for relief, ds regarded In Ixm
don as only a prtlnde: to an absolute
confinnation of the massacre.. This Is
the opinion also of the Japanese Min
ister here. The newspapers suggest
that the BrltiKh Minister's dispatch
was held back and released about the
same time as Conger's, under the same
terms. Although the American and
British forces are working harmonious
ly, the-quesliou of means of communi
cation between Taku and IVkiu gives
evidence of t be jealousies letween the
Powers, and other dispatches from
Tien Tsin show the language difficulty

atKius. a disnatc& to the la Iv New:
from Tleu Tsin, dated July 14th, says:
"Colonel Llscum mistook tl nul

"General IotwomL on premature re
port from the Jatauese commander
that the city had leen entered, order

Tlie Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Daily Mall says, that the Admirals
have decided that It will he useless to
move toward I'ekin without at least
00,0t0 men.
MacDonald's Appeal. ,
Ixndon. July 24. The foreign office
has received a dispatch from the Brit-
ish Consul at Tien Tsin, dated Sat
urday, July 21st, stating that he had
just received a letter from Sir Claude
MacDonald, the British Minister at
I'ekin. and ilated July 4tli, appealing
for relief. Tliere were euomrh pmvis
kms at the legation to last a fortnight,
the letter said, but the garrison was
unequal to the task of holding out
against a determined attack for many
days. . There had been forty-four
deaths, and about double that uuui
lr woundetL The foreign office thinks
the dispatch does' not affect the main
question of the reported massacre of
members of. the Legation at I'ekin.
I JAPANESE FIGHT WELL.
Tien Tsin. July 13, via Shanghai,
July 24. Chinese from the walled city
reiKWt that tlie foreigners In, Pekin
are living, liaving taken shelter In a
bomb-proof building. 1
About 7 100 Chinese were engaged in
battle here July 11th. More are coni
Ing from Pekin. ' f
General Xieh was Imprisoned lie
cause he opiKsed making war on the
foreigners, but afterwards was " re
leased on the condition that he fight
tliem. S To this, he aeeeded with luke
warmness. Arter the battle he com
mittal suicide. .
-The Japanese were the heroes of the
battle. Their fighting was remarkably
brave. When some of the foreign of
ficers counselled retreat last night the
Japanese General said:
"When my men move, it will be for
ward." ;"iH; .1 - :..
k This morning they j charged 1 tlie
breaches in the -wall made by the
artilhry and fought" hand to hand in
the streets. Their conduct after the
fight was" equally good, ns they re
frained from looting, while some of
the European soldiers were having an
orgle. - -'-
PREPARING FOR WAR.
Washington. July 24.The Navy De
partment ; Is preparing for iKwsilde
eventualities arising out of the situa
tion In China. One of the greatest
difficulties which would confront the
United States In the event of naval
warfare In Chinese waters, is the lack
of the naval base close to the scene
of operations. - As a precautlonai-y
measure the colliers, purchased dur
ing the Spanish war and which' had
gone rout of commission, arc lKhig
titteil out for service. . Foreign coun
tries have gobbled up everything afloat
which could lie utilized for shipping
coal and stores. Germany and Japan
have even impressed ; steamers. The
result Is that at the present time T0
ler cent, of our government freight
for the Orient is now Iwiug carried in
foreign loats. Conseriuently, price
hare; materially increased.

A FAKE FIGHT.
Chicago. Jul v 24. Tommy Ryan, of
Syraruse, and Jack Root, of Chicago
fought a draw at Tattersall's tonight.
In the first two rounds some fast work

they become.
About two years ago the newspapers

no one In the scientific world has ever
had much faith In the possibility of
socn an invention, still this was- at
least the tenth time It had leen an

and senil-sdence perhaps the most re
markable Instance of general popular
interest in - a scientific subject and
practically universal delusion about it
Is furnished by liquid atr. The manu
facture of this finld, Xhe methods by
which It came to Ik made on a manu

production are genuine achievements
of science, but once the product was

more, but so far the most Important

principal use, howerer. has tieen as
the subject matter of illustrated lec

that would hare put the Keely Motor

able power to cure diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition.
"I was a total wreck could not
sleep or eat," writes Mr. J. O. Beers,
of lierrynian, Crawford Co.. Mo. ; "For
rwo years I tried 'medicine from doe
tors, but received very Tittle benefit.
I lost flesh aud strength; was uot able

Pierce's Goldeu Merlical Discovers',

It Is ouiy a reasonable projiosIUon
that weakness is a natural result of
starvation. Thus, when food Is not

the
IkmIv fails of the necessary nutrition.
"weakness" In some other orgau Is
sure to follow the weakness of the
stomach, "Weak heart. 'weak"

There is nothing more desirable than
that; the claims made for "Golden
Medical Discovery" should be proven
true by an investigation of j its cures.
It is a striking fact that the very suc
cess of this medicine tends to arouse
a prejudice In the mfnds of Rome ieo-
ple who have "doctored for years

They ask. "Why should this .Discov

Tiiatt is a fair nuestiou, and a fair
answer to It Is that "(Jolden -.-.Medical

medicine failed because the doctor was

Consul Fowler s.-ty that these fti
nris do not include the leased 'nort'
an that It must 1m reiiiemiKrHl tliat
in the case of Great Britain a Innre
untnlier of Imlians and Asiatics (Chi
nese born in Hong Kong, the Straits
etc.). are included.
Consequently It Is -difficult to di-ter-mlne
the true huihIht of British in
China. Moreover, by .'.British' law,
every British subject Is couqiclled t'
register In his consulate, but with
Americans tliis registration is op
tional. .'Consul -Fowler expresses the
belief that the iiuiiiIkt of '. American
residents Is greatly understated.
