"It must constantly be borne in

citizen is not so much a development
of certain lines of knowledge as a de
velopment of certain essential qualities
of character and habits of action.
Courage , discipline and loftiness of
purpose are the things really neces
sary for maintaining a free govern
ment. If a citizen possesses these
qualities of character , he will acquire
the knowledge which is essential to
the conduct of the country's institu
tions and to the reform of the abuses
which may arise. "

WASHINGTON , Aug. 16. The ten-
Blon on the Chinese situation through
out the day has been intense , for it
is appreciated by officials that the cri
sis has reached an acute stage which
cannot be continued many hours with
out bringing word of momentous im
port , determining , either for good or
evil , the entire course of events. It
has been a day of extreme anxiety ,
of watching and waiting , with only
meager and fragmentary information
QB to 'the military and diplomatic
phases.
One of the new developments today
was the statement that messages are
being received from Minister Conger
which are not transmitted through any
of our officials in China or through
the Chinese minister here , but direct
ly to the State department. These
messages come by the way of Tsi Nan.
Some of 'them cannot be fully deciph
ered , ami for this reason the state
ment cannot be definitely made that
the dispatches sent by the government
to Minister Conger are received by him.
So far as the messages have been de
ciphered there is no indication that
Minister Conger had received any of
those sent by the State department
Nothing could be learned of the con
tents of the dispatches received , al
though it was stated there were quite
a number from Minister Conger , some
coming from the consular officers and
General Chaffee , besides those which
came direct. The message transmitted
through Minister Wu was entirely de
ciphered in the department.
During the course of a conversation
between Secretary Root and Baron
Speck von Sternberg , the German
d' affaires , Mr. Root gained consider
able information concerning the route
which had to be traversed by the al
lied armies. Baron Sternberg told
him that Tung Chow was a very strong
place and if the Chinese army should
make a stand at this point the inter
national forcer would find it quite diffi
cult to overcome the forts and walls.
While it is not known what resistance
may have been or will be made to the
advance at Tung Chow , Secretary Root
and other officials would not be sur
prised to learn of a very serious bat
tle at that place.
Word came early in the day to the
Navy department that General Chaffee
had reached Matow , about twenty
miles , from Pekin. This occurred Fri
day or Saturday , though the dispatclj
from General Chaffee , sent through
Admiral Remey , was not sufficiently
definite to locate the exact time of
reaching that place. But in any event ,
three or four days have elapsed since
then and there has been time for : t
still further advance toward the im
perial city.
The feeling among officials was
shown in the extreme circumspection
thrown about the messages relating to
China , and it was announced both
at the State and War departments that
any communications from Minister
Conger or the United States consuls
concerning affairs in China would not
be made public. It was explained
that this was in no way due to a de
sire to keep from the public informa-
tion of an important character , but f
was based solely on the fact that the S
crisis involved so many possibilities
of extreme hazard to the legationers
In Pekin that the greatest caution
must be observed against disclosures
which would further imperil those in
danger. The actual developments of
the day consisted of the Remey dis
patch heretofore alluded to and one
from Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai.

TRAIN GUNS ON PEKIN.
Italian Advices Are to the KfToot that
Slego Wat Ucguu on Monday.
LONDON , Aug. 17. A cablegram to
Vienna from Hong Kong announces
the capture of Pekin , but the Austrian
government , like other European pow
ers , is still without confirmation of
this report. An official telegram ,
dated Taku , August 14 , has been re
ceived at Rome. It asserts that the
attack on Pekin began Monday , that
Sir Claude McDonald , the British min
ister , had opened cmmunication with
the relieving force and that the allies
have established their headquarters at
Tung Chow.
Chinese officials in Shanghai are re
ported as admitting that the allies
inflicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese
imperial troops around Tung Chow
Sunday and then marched direct to
Pekin. This , If true , carries the Jap
anese official advices announcing the
capture of Tung Chow one step fur
ther.Western
Western powers , according to a dis
patch to the Daily Express from Kobe ,
have accepted the proposals formu
lated by Japan for arranging an armis
tice , dependent upon the immediate
delivery of the foreign legations to
the allies or of the granting of per
mission to the allied forces to enter
Pekin and to guard the legations.
Upon three bases the correspondent
says Japan has already begun to ne
gotiate.
Shanghai dispatches declare that
the Chinese had intended to make a
final attack upon the legations last
Sunday , but whether the plan was car
ried out is not known there.
From the same place comes the
statement that Vice Admiral Seymour
and Brigadier General Creah have
joined in the protest against the with
drawal of the British troops. All the
morning papers , which comment on
the subject , appeal to Lord Salisbury
not to withdraw them and dilate upon
the serious results of such an action
to British prestige.
American negotiations looking to a
cessation of hostilities also receive
considerable attention , favorable and
otherwise , but all the editorials agree
that too precipitate a withdrawal
from Pekin after the delivery of the
legations would have a bad effect upon
the Chinese minds.

MATTER OF AN INDEMNITY.
Chlnrso Will lie atc < i < ilred lo Support the
Fuiullle * of Their Victims.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. A high
government official said today that
the Indemnity which the -United
States would demand for every Ameri
can citizen killed or maimed by the
Chinese during the present trouble
would be sufficient to support their
families for the remainder of their
lives.
"Thia government does not want a
province , a town , a village or a sin
gle square foot of Chinese territory
as indemnity , " said the official , who
Is close to the president. "There la
but one indemnity which they can
give our people , and that Is a mone
tary indemnity to the families of
their American victims. For every
one of these China must pay a suffi
cient sum to keep their families from
want during their lives. This govern
ment will exact assurances of a satis
factory character that such a state of
affairs as now exists in China shall
not occur again. The nature of these
assurances will be determined later.
The collection of Indemnity may prove
difficult and it may be decided , al
though so far the proposition has not
been considered , to station war ships
in the harbors of the principal cities
and officials within these cities to
watch the revenues and protect the
Interests of the United States , If need
be , by taking charge of such revenues
and reserving some portion of them
to apply to the indemnity.
"In addition to requiring assurances
of a restoration of order and the
strictest precautions to prevent a sim
ilar state of affairs in the future , a
small body of troops may be necessary
to protect the officials stationed in
these ports. If this plan should be
adopted the different allies doubtless
will cooperate.
"Effort will be made , of course , to
trace the responsibility for the recent
outrages , but it will be a difficult task ,
as there will be little disposition
among the Chinese to tell the truth ,
especially when it would implicate one
of their number. The Chinese cannot
be punished indiscriminately for the
atrocities , but wherever such offense
is fixed on an individual , high or low ,
his punishment will bo required. If it
can be shown that orders for hostili
ties were issued by the empress dow
ager or the emperor , their deposition
is certain and another government
will be set up. If Tuan Is proved to
have ordered the outrages , the severest -
est punishment may be accorded
him. "

BEATRICE , Neb. , Aug. 20. If any
thing more miraculous ever occurred
than an accident which happened here' ,
those who witnessed it will doubt it
even if told. A team attached to a
pump repair wagon was running away.
Dn the wagon were two Whitcomb
boys , the youngest about seven years
old. Crossing the street was a Roi-k
Island freight train. The liagman saw
he team coming and so did Agent
\arstens , who was at the crossing ,
and both attempted to Hag tne team.
jut the horses ware unmanageable and
couldn't be stopped. The result was
one of the most complete smashupn
that can be imagined. The train
struck the wagon squarely and not
even a spoke was left Inuict. Every
one in sight expected botii occupants
of the wagon would surely be killed ,
but a few moments after the wagon
was struck the youngest boy crav/led
out from under the debris. He had a
cut on the chin which later had to be
sewed up , but aside from this ne was
uninjured except for some bruises. His
brother only sustained a slight cut on
the thigh and the horses escaped with
out a scratch.
