LONDON, Aug. 21.-1 :u5 n. m. Owing
probably to tho Pekln wire being cut llttlo
news of conditions In the Chlntse rnpttal
has come through this morulng. What has
reached Londou indicates that th- allies
aro In need of reinforcements. Tho com
mander of tho Italian second-class cruiser,
Flernmoscn, telegraphs from Taku, ac
cording to tho Rome correspondent of tho
Dally Mall, that very urgent requests were
coming from Pekln on Saturday for tho
Immediate despatch of further troopi and
that In answer to these 1C0 Italian mar.nes
wcro sent oft post haste. Tha Japanese
minister In London Is said to have received
a telegram last evening that subsequent
to tho entry Into Pekln a Japanese detach
ment went to tho Imperial palucc to afford
whatever protection was necessary. The
enemy were in strength and the lighting
was still progressing when tho nicasngo was
sent to Toklo. The main body of the Jap
anese was then tit An Ting Men gate, tho
Tartar city, with headquarters at the Jap
anese legation.
Reports of the presence of the empress
dowager aro still contradictory, but Gen
eral Yung Lu, on the authority of the
Shanghai correspondent of the Standard, is
deflnltoly announced to bo a prisoner by
orders of tho empress In the Imperial pal
nce. "This, perhaps." says the correspond
ent, "Is a good thing, us detention In the
capital will enable him to negotlnto with
tho allies' commander, which he would do
ns Prlnco Tuan's enemy."
The Chlncso minister In London. Sir
Chlh Chen Lo Luh, asked as to tho where
abouts cf tho or.ipfrar nnd ompreas dow
ager, replied: "They have gone westward
to tho old capital, Hslan Fit, and 1 th tik
they arc quite safe there."
Serious trouble Is now threatened In
the neighborhood of Canton. Tho Amer
icans nt Swntow, according to the Dally
Chronicle's Shanghai correspondent, have
applied for a war ship In consoquenco of
serious rioting and tho Hong Kong cor
respondent of the Dally Mall says a war
ship Is on the way there now.
Queen Victoria has sent the following
message to the commandant of tho marines
nt Pekln:
I thank God that you and those under
your command have been rescued from vour
perilous situation. With my people I have
waited with the deepest anxiety for good
news of your nafety and the happy termina
tion of your luTOlc and prolonged defense.
I grieve for the Iossph nnd Bufferings ex
perienced by tho besieged.
.In pa n DonhtM Continental Kurnpr.
A Japnneso war ship has left Yokohama
for Shanghai, according to a local cor
respondent, to land troops.
Tho Dally Mall also announces that Ger
many will land a detachment at Shanghai.
Further Yokohamu advices to tho namo
paper dcclaro that Russia and Franco aro
objects of distrust to Japan, which urges
that Japan having boruo tho chief burden
of tho operations must sco to It that tho
futuro of China Is not terminated merely by
the pleasure of western powers.
"It Is felt," says tho corespondent, "that
determined action on the part of Great
Btltaln, tho United Statoa and Japan will
avert nny difficulty arising from Continental
Europe."
Tho semi-official Japanese organs say that
If occasion arises Japan can send 60,000
troops on short notice and that If the pow
ers aro inclined to play n Bullish game spe
cial measures will bo necessary.
UlNturliniice In Temporary.
Sir Chi Cheng Lo Lu, Interviewed by the
Daily Chronicle, is represented as having
said:
"The present disturbances arn onlv a
tempornry'outbreak. Wo do not despair
of peace. Evorythlng depends upon tho
conduct of the allies who uro now In Pekln.
All subsequent questions rest with them
for solution. You may bo certain It Is not tho
antagonism to western Ideals which Is at
tho root of tho troubles, but rather tho
difficulty of governing a great and ancient
people."
Tho Chlneso nntlvo press, according to
tho Shanghai correspondent of tho Times,
asserts that Yu Slhen, governor of the
province of Shan SI, with a force of Box-
cm, is marching toward Kalgan, of Chang
Kla Hou, to meet tho empress dowager and
to escort her south,
Tho Times, dealing with the dispatches
from Washington, sajs:
"Tho proposal of LI Hung Chang, as It
Is reported, docs not afford a posslblo
basis of negotiations of nny kind. Until
we have definite Information as to tho
political situation in Pekln wo ennnot bo
sure that tho first duty of tho powers may
not bo to set up a government with which
they can subsequently treat. The tlmo for
negotiations has not yet arrived. When It
does arrlvo they must bo opened on a dif
ferent basis from that suggested In tho
Washington telegrams and must bo con
ducted by a different negotiator than LI
Hung Chang If they aro to havo nny good
results."

twelvo hours. At one time they thought
they could not hold them nt bay. but In

exposed to a torrlble flro, without being

"All theso days vo were waiting and

then leave us with only a few hundred

were three dreadful days of fighting. Rut
when tho additional troops were dispatched
from Taku, after tho nrrlval of Jim Watte,

ATLANTA, Gn., Aug. 20. General John
B. Gordon, commnnder-ln-chlcf of the
United Confederate Veterans, has prepared
a reply to n resolution recently adopted
by a camp of confederate veterans nt New
Orlenns, condemning the blue and gray re
union nt Atlanta, recommending that no
more similar reunions be, held and protest
ing against Gencrul Gordon accepting nn
Invitation to the Grand Army of the Re
public reunion nt Chicago. Tho reply Is as
follows:
KIRKU'OOD, On.. Aug. 20.-To tho
Confederate Association of tho Army
of the Tenncsse Comrades: A resolu
tion recently adopted by your ns
loclutlon at the instance of Oeliernl
Umleron. criticising certain acts or sup
posed u-ts or mine, entirely escaped my
attention at Its appearance In the public
press and I hove Just !een it for tho tirst
time. I understand this action of your its
!oclutlott to mean u forma) nnd public
notice that you disapprove of mv participa
tion In the Blue nnd Gray meeting whlcrt
jreently occurred In Atlanta; and also that
It means u formal and rubllo prjtest by
your association ngulusi my acceptance
of mm Imitation extende l to inn by the
Grand Army of the Republic and bv the
executive committee of tho citizens of
Chlcngo.
Tho object of thin reply to your resolu
tion, which you fulled to send me. is not
to call In question the right of your as
sociation to criticise any olllclal net of
mine which does not meet your approval.
I do wish, however, to state kindly, but
trankly, and plainly, that tnv own con
science nnd my own conception of duty
tiutsi be my guide in tho fuluie as In tno
post.
As to the courteous and cordial Invitation
of both tho Orand Army of the Itopubllc
and of tho executive uotnmlttco of Chicago
rltlzeiiH, I havo to stnte that I greatly up
prccbito tho compliment paid me by tout
Invitation and the sltfrlt which prompted
it. CircumstanceH. however, rendered It
Impossible for me to accept nnd I so
notllled the otllecrs anil comtnltteeM ticaliv
two months ago when that Invitation tlrst
reached me. Hut in tlds connection, nlso,
I must be the Judge now nnd here
after of tho propriety of ncceptlng invita
tions from any section of the country ur
any class of my fellow countrymen.
In order that there raiv be no .tosslble
misunderstanding of my position on these
and all kindred mutters, I repent, my solo
guide must be my own convictions of duty
to this whole country, ami to the southern
people, whose glorious record In r.ll tho
nust, whoso traditions, dignity and honor
1 hnve endeavored to def. ml and iphold
nt nil times, In all sections nnd under nil
conditions.
In conclusion, let It be definitely tinder
stood t lut t so long us Providence permit''
me to speak or labor I shall continue the
efforts which 1 hnve mud" for thirty yeais
In the Interest of secllonnl harmony and
unity. Whntover I can do will asuiredlv
bo done for the truth of history, for luatlo
to the south and to nil sections for foster
ing our cherished memories, for the
obliteration of nil sectional bitterness nnd
for the settlement of all sectlonnl con

honor and tho manhood nnd the koU

whnt ho thinks will be the most successful
convention of tho kind ever held.
"It looks now as If there would be 2,000
delegates present," said Mr. Clayton. "Thero
will at any rate bo more than 1,500, nnd
that is a larger attendance than thero has
over been at a Natlonnl Farmers' congress.
"In addition to the subject of pure food,
which will very naturally bo considered nt
length, thero will bo discussions of Interest
on trusts, tho Nicaragua canal anil freo rurat

SARATOGA. Wyo.. Aug. 20. The forest
fires continue to rage In the mountains be
tween Dattlo Lako and Grand Encampment,
and those towns nnd tho numerous mining
camps and sheep camps aro threatened with
destruction. Tho herders were forced to
drlvo their flocks high up in tho mountnlns
to get feed, owing to tho scarcity of both
feed and water on the plnlns below and It
Is feared that many of these herders have
been surrounded with their flocks by the
flames. Tho timber is as dry as tinder and
burns fiercely. Nothing can prevent the
progress of the flames except a heavy rain.
It Is estimated that thn loss thus far, ex
clusive of tho millions of foot of flno timber,
will be over $200,000. Miners have Joined
the forest rangers In tho work of fighting
tho fires. Their combined offorts, howevor,
seem to be of no nvall.
