CONGER'S RECORD IN CHINA Hit First News of the Beileged Legatien in Treubled Empire. DES MOINES REVIEW OF THE OUTBREAK lovta DelrKatlon Chninplona III Cause In Comcrcx Ilrlft of the Move ment to Make Hint (iovern o r. DES MOINES, May 1. (Special,) The people of Iowa never before prepared such a hearty welcome as that for the returning United States minister to China, Hon. bd win H. Conger. There arc features about this Incident which make It unlquo.and In teresting beyond all others. In the eyes of many Iowa people Mr. Conger Is coming homo something of a hero and almost a martyr. He will be welcomed because of his worth as a man and because of his conspicuous services as the representative of his country nt a trying time, but also be cause circumstances for which Mr. Conger Is In no way responsible havo caused thou sands to look to htm as a political leader Jn tho stato campaign of this year. Edwin H. Conger has been minister to China for a little more than three years. He was transferred from Ilrnzll and re luctantly went to tho more responsible, and as It has proved, more dangerous post at l'ckln. Ho took his family with hltn n cultured and sensible wife, a daughter and Miss Pierce. For tho first year Mr. Congor confined himself to making n study of tho great Oriental problem. Two years ago Minister Conger took a long Journey through the Chinese empire visiting the American consulates nnd other places, during which time his family returned to Iowa for a visit. After his return to Pekln Mr. Conger fre quently gave expression In letters to his friends of n fear that there was trouble ahead for the Americans In China. It wns a year ago that the situation became criti cal and the dnngcr real, On Mny 19, HiOO, nn event occurred which startled the world. This was the attack by Chlncso people on tho Christian village of Lai Sun, sltunted about seventy miles from Pekln. There were seventy-three na tivo Christians massacred. Ministers Prompt to Act. The ministers of the foreign powers In Pekln promptly addressed a note to the tsung 11 yninen demanding suppression of tho rioters. Minister Conger Immediately reported to Washington that tho situation was dangerous nnd the administration or dered Rear Admiral Kempff with his flag ship Newark to proceed to Taku. The Amcr leans landed a small force under Captain McCalln and Joined the International col umn for the relief of Pekln, which city had been besieged by the Ooxers. Tho forco wns permitted to enter Pekln nnd for n short time quiet was restored, but In Juno rioting broke out afresh. June 10 Admiral Seymour, with 2,000 troops, Btartcd. to repair tho railroad to Pekln nnd wcro soon cut off. On Juno 17 the forts at Taku opened a bombardment of tho fleets In the harbor and the fort was promptly taken by the allies. June 26, the expedition to repair the rail road and make a way to Pekln returned to Tien Tsln n complete failure, and It was then that tho powers begun to realize that tho legatloners In Pekln were In great peril. July 14 the native forts at Tien Tsln wero aptured by tho allies. The legntloncrs wero Imprisoned In the nrltish legation at the Chlncso capital. 1'lrst .errs from Conner. The facts concerning this siege are a3 yet fresh In the public mind. Tho first nuthcntlc news from Inside the legation came direct from Minister Conger, through tho efforts of Li Hung Chang, on July 20. This was a clphir message In which Min ister Conger said: "In nrltish legation under continued shot and shell from Chinese troops. Quick ro- Ilcf only can prevent general massacre." Tho story wns brief, but wan all too true, as subsequent developments showed, and this message spurred tho relief col umn on to greater exertions. After a ter rlblo Journey from tho coast to Pekln, fighting almost every mile of the way, the allied troops reached Pekln and broke through the lines, giving relief to the be sieged foreigners, who had been penned up for many days. About 10,000 soldiers par ticipated In this expedition. August 10 the people within the British Irgatlon learned that relief was soon to be had and four days later tho troops entered. Thero was great rejoicing. Minister Con ger and his family had been conspicuous during tho siege. Many stories of hard ships and privations have been related and through It nil tho American minister nnd his family boro up with great fortitude. Kstnbllshlnir Pence Terms, In tho dayB which followed. In which the allied troops were engaged In restor ing order and establishing a basis for peace negotiations, Minister Conger ably repre sented the United States government! It was largely due to him that the American soldiers conducted themselves In a manner to reflect credit on the American nation. They were not allowed to participate In any of the raiding and looting which char acterized the conduct of soldiers from sorao of tho Eurpean powers. Minister Conger did everything In his power for peace and to keep the United States from appearing to bo even tho allies of the other powers, except for the purposo of restoring order and for protection of American Interests In China. Never for onco did he permit his country to bo placed In tho attitude of seeking tho destruction of China. There has been a good deal of contro versy over the question whether Conger and the War nnd State departments were In entire harmony during the trying times which followed tho relief of the lega tloners. Illnmes Chinese Government. In one of bis first cablegrams to Wash ington. In response to nn official Inquiry. Minister Conger stated his belief that tho Chinese government as such was responsl- dic for the rioting. This was contrary to the theory which had been held up to that time, nnd It was n sourco of Infinite sor row to Conger's friends In Iowa and In Washington that Immediately following this report, 'vhlch was subsequently verified In every particular, tho reports were circu lated In Washington and sent broadcast over the country that Congor was to be recalled becauso It was evident his mind had been affected by tho ordeal of the siege ana no was not to be trusted longer. Indeed, Commissioner Rockhlll was Im mediately sent to Pekln to take charge of American interests, but he was not allowed to do so, and at the time of the announce raent of Minister Conger's return, Rockhlll was on tho point of coming home. Minister Conger simply went ahead and did his duty That there were Influences at Washington, and poweiful Influences, laboring to do grado Conger, Is an open secret among Con ger s political nnd personal friends, Iowa Helena! Ion's Victory. The Iowa delegation in congress bore the brunt of the fight waged and came off vic torious. Mr. Conger wns sustained by the president In everything and has been given assurances that his services havo entirely satisfied the president and that It is the desire of the president he shall return to China, Minister Conger Is coming home on short leave of absence, on his own mo tion, that he may rest and recuperate and obtain fuller Information as to the plans snd purposes of the president. There has been no friction between Coager and Mc Klnlcy. They were old friends lu congress and havo the utmost confidence In each other In the meantime some republicans of Iowa seem to be planning to make Mr, Conger governor of tho state. Tho movement Is a peculiar one. On tbo surface It appears to be largely a movement to escape from the dilemma of being forced to choose be tween n large field of candidates, no ono of whom seems to possess tho 'undivided con fidenco of the people of the state. Ilefore It became known that Minister Conger was coming home on a visit he was asked by cable It he would accept n nomination for governor. Ho replied that ho would, but would not make a fight for It. It was understood that he would prefer to return to the state to live, provided he could secure the nomination for governor. Later two or three candidates for governor wcro announced, and some of them wero warm personal friends of Conger. He was again cabled as to his position and notified that several candidates were In the field. He replied that he was not a candidate for governor. Since his return to San Fran cisco he has repeatedly reiterated his posi tion not n candidate, hut willing to accept It nominated, Tho first candidate to come out for gov ernor was George D. Perkins of Sioux City. This was followed by the announcement of A. B. Cummins, Sidney A. Foster, W. F. Harrlman, J. II. Trcwln nnd John Hcrrlott. Mr, Cummins has long been a close friend of Conger and Mr. Herrlott has always been very friendly with tho minister. In fact all of the candidates are men who have supported Conger and admired him. Conger would have been cheerfully supported by any or all of them If he hod announced himself a candidate. Rut despite that each and every one of the six candidates has been working hard to secure supDort for the nomination, tho movement to make Conger the nominee over all of them has been stead ily gaining ground. Heady ti Tnrn to Conger. There Is no misunderstanding the situa tion. In almost every county of the stale there are men ready to turn to Con ger for governor. Mr. Perkins has already withdrawn In favor of Conger and declares his belief that Conger will be the right man to nomlnnte. It Is believed that all the other candidates will do the same, un less, possibly, It Is Cummins and Hcrrlott If the Conger movement should develop great strength at once It Is more than probable that he would be nominated by acclamation. It Is planned that on Friday of this week a reception will be given Mr. Conger here In his home city by his closest friends, at which there will ho speaking, nnd Minister Conger Is expected to give his friends some thing more definite ns to bis plans for tho future. It he signifies n desire that his friends shall work for his nomination for governor be may be nominated. Tho reception at the state capltol on Friday evening will be unique, In that It will be tho first time In the history of the state that the state capltol will be used for nn unofficial reception. Ills Personal Career. Edwin II. Conger is 58 years old, a na tlve of Illinois, educated at Lombard unl verslty, entered the army when 19 and soon became a captain In Company I, One Hun drcd and Second Illinois Infantry. As soon as he was mustered out he entered Albany law school, practiced awhile In Qalesburg, III., then came to Iowa and bought land near Dexter. He engaged In banking In Dexter and In 1877 was elected treasurer of Dallas county. He was elected twice, then was given two terms at stato treasurer. He entered the Forty-ninth congress and Berved three terms, during which time h was conspicuous on tne committee on coinage, weights and measures, and had a great deal to do with tho silver legislation of the time. He was also active In pen Bton legislation. He was -appointed minis ut to Brazil by General Harrison.- He en gaged In business in Des Moines during the second Cleveland term. President Mc Klnlcy sent him back to Brazil. In the meantime the senate had refused to con firm tho appointment of Page Bryan of III Inois to bo minister to China and President McKlnlcy prevailed upon Conger to mako the transfer to Pekln from Rio, much ngalnst his wishes. Conger was minister to Brazil at the time the cmplro was over thrown and the republic established.

VIEWS OF MILITARY ON EVACUATION Tsvclve Thonsnnd Five llnndrcd .Men Considered IiiiiiikIi to Keep In China I'endliiK a Final fcttlcment. PEKIN, April 30. Field Marshal von Waldcrsee. In tho letter which he sent to tho ministers today, as the reply of the gcn-1 erals to the views of the ministers regarding the military questions discussed yesterday by the generals In conference, says a gar rison of 6,000 men should be left at Tien Tsln and the adjoining district, Great Britain, France, Germany and Japan to contribute 1,400 men each and Italy 400 men. To garrison Shan Hal Kvan. France, Rus sia, Orcat Britain and Germany arc to con tribute 300 men each and Italy one com pany until the forts arc razed. So long as nny forces occupy Chinese territory the foreign military commanders must cxcrclso the full authority of a civil administration, according to the principle established at Tho Haguo in 1899. The Chinese may re main In ofllco as In the case of Pao Ting Fu nnd partly at Tien Tsln. The 6,000 men In the Tien Tsln district, In addition to war ships, which must be In tho Pol Ho river, must preserve com munication with the foreign Ilect nt Taku. To allow this administration to depend In any respect on the mandarins would be an utter impossibility. Frictions would arise Immediately which would lead to dif ficult conflicts which woutd bo better avoided. The placing of the civil adminis tration under the military has a further great advantage. It would be Incon venient to the Chinese government, which would therefore endeavor to get rid of It speedily by the settlement of peace condi tions, When tho troops nt Tlcn Tsln are reduced to 2,000 by the granting of possibly a quarter of tho concessions, then the question of an nbsolute Chinese administration may be con' sldcrcd. Chief Co mm and Desirable. Tho creation of n chief command Is dc slrablo for purely military reasons, ns In csbcs of disorder or troubk of nny kind military measures will be required. These measures must take placo where, these troubles occur and tho authority of tho coramander-ln-chlcf must nleo extend to tho legation guards at Pekln. Count von Waldcrsee thinks tho minis ters' statement, that thero had never been a military organization or a permanent military organization in Pekln, as troops with banners could not bo considered such, to be Incorrect, as his Investigation showed a strong garrison of troops was at Pekln with the latest modern arms. Considering the question of evacuation opinions were different. The British, Jap ancse and German commanders were of the opinion that the evacuation could not com mence until China had accepted tho pre scribed conditions and paid tho total In demnities. Tho French commander would commence with withdrawing 9,000 In a fort night and completing the withdrawal of tho troops In six weeks, leaving only colonial troops here, on acrnunt of the climatic conditions. The Italian and Austrian com manders had no instructions and General Chaffee, the American commander, ab stained from expressing an opinion. Gen eral Wogack, tho Russian commander, wns not present at the recent meetings of the generals, and Russia was not represented. Ovncnntlnn n Dlfticult Question. Tho question of evacuation Is most dim cult, In view of the approach of the hot season, which Is very Injurious to tho health of the troops, and which will also Increase tho costs of tho war Indemnity materially, result In the loss of hundreds of soldiers and probably mean the retention of the troops for the winter. The generals were unanimously of tho opinion It could be moro speedily solved If the ministers would treat separately regarding the amount of Indemnity nnd the method of raising It. The zeeond part of this question must take many months beforo a solution can bo found, on account of the difficulty of the matter. It tho question of Indemnity Is considered first nnd China expresses Its willingness and ability to pay, the moment will have arrived to commence tho evacua tion, tho consummation of which will re quire several months, so tho reduction will bo very gradual. Tho generals arn con vinced that 2,000 men at Pekln, 1.E00 at Shan Hal Kwan and 3,000 men on the rail road, and altogether 12,500 men, with tho fleets at Taku and Shanghai, will be a fully sufficient force to compel China to accept tho demand for and manner of payment of tho Indemnity.

Tho foreign olllce lias re ceived u dispatch from l'ckln nnnounclng that M. Plchon, tho Krcuch minister, presented today tho report of the commit tee on Indemnity The amount China Is to pay has beon llxcd ut l,3t3,000,0CO franca ($263,413,000). How It Is proposed that the Indemnity bo distributed nmong tho powers Is not set forth, but as tho dispatch docs not mention Tho lltigue, It Is thought tho ministers ato hopeful of being nblo to t-et-tlo tho proportion to be received by ench power by discussion at Pekln. Official advices received hero from Pekln say tho ministers arc divided Into two par ties In the discussion to decide how China Is to raise the Indemnity. Trance, Gcr mnny, Ttussla nnd Japan agree In favor of raising tho customs duties, which can be relied upon to produce a great part of the requlslto sum, and the imposition of a duty on Junks, which will constitute a tax on Inland navigation, and tho taking over of some of tho Llkln provincial transit du tics. On the other hand the United States and Great ftrltuln decline to agree to an in crease of tho customs duties, but they do not appear to havo presented a counter proposition. The fact that tho United States nnd Great Ilrltaln have Joined hands on this question has caused surprise hero It was hoped the United States would stand with Prance and Russia. The result will bo to gVcatly protract tho negotiations. PURSUERS BACK IN PEKIN Walclemee Trnnnniltn Itrport of l.e- cl'n KnunKcinriit Unroutr to the tirent Wall. BERLIN, May 1.
