been told Dr Morrison tho Peking correspondent of th Times holds up tho Chinoso govern ment before tho world as guilty and to a degree of infinity nnd duplicity that exceeds tho surmise of its vrorst de tractors In tho same dippatuh ho gives iv moro hopeful view of the pros pects of tbo besieged than has been ex pressed by any of tho others who have been heard from Tho Tunes thiR morning prints tho following dispatch from him tinted July 31 Thero has been a cessation of hos tilities hero Peking hinco July 18 but for four of tieacbery thore has been no relaxation of vigilance Tho Ohineso fcoldiers continue to strengthen tho bar neades nrouml tho besieged area and nlso tho batteries on top of tho imperial city wall but in tho meantime tho have discontinued tiring probably be cauho they are short of ammunition Tho main bodies of the imperial eoldiers havo loft Peking in ordor to meet tho relief forces Supplies are beginning to come in and the condition of tho besieged is improving Tho wounded aro doing woll Our hospital arrangements are admirable and 150 cases have passed through the hospital The forwarded to Sir Gluude AlacDonald a copy of a dis patch telegraphed by the emperor to Queen Victoria attributing deeds of violence to bandits and requesting her majestys assistance to extricate tho Chinese government from its dithculties The queens reply isnot stated but the Chinese minister at Washington tefe graphs that tho Uiitd States gowrn lucut vtttuld gladly assist the Chinese authorities This dispatch to the queen was sent to tho by the grand council on July 3 yet the day before an imperial edict had been issued calling ou tho Boxers to continue to lender loyal and patriotic services in extermi nating tho Christians The edict also commanded viceioys and governors to expel all missionoiies from China and to uirest all Christians and compel them to renounco their iaith Other decrees applauding tho Boxers speak approv ingly of their burning out and slaying converts Their leaders are stated in a decree to be princes and ministers On July 18 another decree made a complete volte face duo to the victories of the foreign troops at Tion Tsin In this decree for tho first time and one month after the occnirenco an allusion vra made to the death of Baron Von Ketteler tho German minister which was attributed to tho action of local trigauds although thero is no doubt that it was premeditated and that the assassination was committed by an im perial officer us the survivor Herr Cordes can testify Imperial Troops lleelege Lrgiitloiia The force besioging tho legation consists of tho imperial troops under General Tung Lu and General Tung Pub Siang whose gallantry is applauded by imperial decrees although it has consisted in bombarding for one month defenseless women and children cooped up in tho legation compound using shell shiapnel round shot and expand ing bullets Tho Ohineso throughout with characteristic treachery posted procla mations assuring us of protection and tho same night they made u general attack in the hope of surprising us There is still no news vof Pei Tang cathedral The wounded numbw 188 including the Americau surgeon Lippitt severely wounded and Captain Myers who is doing well Seven Americans have been killed The ministers and members of the legations and their families are in good health The general health of tho com munity is excellent and we are con tentedly awaiting relief After enumerating the casualties al ready reported and giving the total of deaths iucludiug American as 56 Mr Morrison proceeds as follows The Chinese underuunal the Fiench legation which is now a ruin but the French minister M Piohon was not present having fled for protection to the British legatiou on the first day of the siege The greatest peril we suffered dur ing the siege was from tire the Chinese in their determination to destroy the British legation burning the adjoining ban liu yuen national college one of the most sacred buildings in China sacrificing the unique library When it is remembered how great re liance is placed upon Dr Morrison in England tho importance of his exposuie of the Chinese governments treachery can scarcely be overestimated It seems to banish all hopes entertained tnr Lord Sftlishurr that Ui Cthiw government might not bo directly rtsiumsiblo for the outrage- nnd it may result in etitiio cessation of tho nego tiations with tho Ohineso diplomatists if not in an open declaration of war on thu part of the powers CHINA 18 TRIFLE UNEASY Anion to Srruro Aliniitlnntiiititt of Move ment ton IrUliiK Washinuiok Aug 2 The Chincso imperial government is putting forth tho most power I ul clients to securo through negotiation tho abandonment of the international movement upon Peking The cablegram received at the state department lrom Karl lii Hung Chang all tend to demonstrate his do sire to secure tho succor of tho minis ters at Peking and their delivery at Tien Tsui if this can bo safely effected trusting that in return tho interna tional column cuu bo hnlted Unques tionably a proper assurnnco of tho Kafe delivery of tho ministers would have some effect upon the temper of tho powers and it is possible tho United States government would give car to overtures in that diicctiou wero not the attempt made by the Chinese to impose conditions upon the delay that are en tirely objectionable Such for instance is a stipulation that the ChiticHe im perial authorities shall be absolved iu advance fioin tho consequences of tho attempt and tor liability for what ban taken place in Peking Still t AiHiiiub mi retting London Aug 3 Thero comes from the Belgian charge daffaires at Shang hai an otlicial statement that the allies aro expected to reuch Peking in about u

yesterday nomi nated the above state ticket A pathetio featuio of tho convention was tho adoption of tho resolution pmyingfor the safety and succor of United States Minister Conger and his family at Peking Chairman lledgo of tho committee on rosolutioiiH started to read tho resolutiofi but asked one of tho secretin its to finish it Tho resolu tion was read amid a deathlike stillness and when Chairman Trowiti slowly and solemnly stated thnt it was unanimously carried his weie not tho only eyes in the great assemblage that wero full of teais Minister Conger is a resident of Dos Moines and Iowa and there was hardly a man in all that great gather ing who does not know and honer him Tho new auditorium was packed almost to suflocation with delegates and visitors W I Roach of Musca tine was the temporal y cliiui man and delivered the speech of tho eomontion Concerning imperialism Mr Roach said in part ltomli on Itiipfrlnllmn What is tins impel inlism to which the Bryanites attach such diro conse quence When and where did it be gin1 What constituted the first impe rialistic act of Piesident McKinley or his patty Did it begin in Manila har bor when Dewey delivered tho crushing blow to I ho Spanish squadron there If so it was applauded by every patri otic man woman and child m this countiy Did it begin when the Aniou ctn army laiMd the stars and stripes on the island ol Luzour If so it had the approval of every loyal American Did it havt its origin in any ot tho acts of the m my or of the navy located upon Philippine soil or in Philippine waters previous to the treaty ot Pans 11 so it had tho unqualified indorsement of an overwhelming majority of tho Ameri can people Did it have origin in the tieuty ot Pans itself which finally de termined the status of this government in those islands If so it had tho ardent and unasked tor support of William Jen nings Bryan tho anti inipeualist candi date for president ot tho United States Tho ratification of this treaty and the approptiation of the 120000000 which was paid Sniin for her rights in tho isl ands was in no sense a partisan net No inunin America did moro to secuie the ratification of that treaty and the vot ing ot that appropriation than did William Jennings Bryan By destroy ing Spains power in tho islands wo be came responsible to the world for the safety of life and property there Agtiiunldo and his followers refused to recognize the right of our govern ment uud fired on our flag From the moment that assault was made all we have done in the way of military opera tions in those islands has been ueces sary for tho maintenance of our dig nity and honor and the preservation of our flag If that is imperialism then let it be understood that tho Republican party is not nshamed of itj In raising the falso cry of anti imperialism in con nection with President McKinleys policy in tho Philippines and in giving encouragement to the treacherous Malays who have been shooting our soldieis from ambush Mr Bryan has justly earned tho severest condemnation of his countrymen If it wat right to acquire authority and responsibility in those islands it hus beon right every hour since then to defend those rights and respect those responsibilities If Mr Bryuu simply advocated tho adop tion of the treaty of peaco expecting it would bring embarrassment to the party iu power that act would stamp him as the arch demagogue of the country If he honestly believed it was wise and pioper to ratify the treaty of peaco and pay Spain 120000000 for her rights iu those islands his subsequent course is absolutely indefensible The only specific thing which I have heard as emanating from him in criticism of the administration in conneotiou with the Philippines was that congress failed to pass a resolution assuring the Philip pines that we iutended to do right by them etc The history of the Republican party is a sufficient earnest that justioe will be doue the people of those islands and that everything possible for their edu cation and advancement will be doue Aguinaldo and his followers at tempted to whip this great nation into recognition of his government Wo have fought back What kind of u government havo we refused to recog nize Nothing as dictatorial as the govern ment of Aguinaldo has happened iu years until Bryan took the Kausas City convention by the neck and made them put 10 to J in their platform twice From first to last iu all things per taining to the Spanish American wur President McKiulev has shown himself the gicittest mid wisest man in tho nation He tiioio tliiiu

rors of war Not since tho iultnlntfltrn tiou of Abraham Lincoln has there been one so thoioughly entitled to the up pioval of all patriotic men and thero Ih much consolation to tho thoughtful mind in the fact that t ho admiuistra tion of the martyred Lincoln was much more bitterly usHlsd by the party than hns been President Mc Kinley His iidiuiiiistiiition Istithout n pniallel iu the history of tho country iu the piomptuess nnd ability with which it lias met eveiy emer gency and fulfilled every promisn against dcmoustiatod ellleieuey and demonstrated incompetency no doubt cuu exist as to the
