WASHINGTON, July 11 An Imperial de
cree dated Sd day of sixth moon (June 2fi,
was received by telegraph today by Minister
Wu from Shanghai, transmitted on July 1
trom the treasurer of Chih LI province, who
received it by special courier on June 80
from the board of war, who In turn re
ceived It from the privy council In Pckln.
The decree Is as follows
"The circumstances which led to the com
mencement of fighting between Chinese and
foreigners were of such a complex, contusing
and unfortunate character as to be entirely
unexpected.
"Our diplomatic representatives abroad,
owing to their distance from the cene of
action, have had no means of knowing the
true state of things and. accordingly, cannot
lay the views of the government before the
ministers for foreign affairs of tbe respective
powers to which they are accredited Now.
we take this opportunity of going fully into
the matter for the Information of our rep
resentatives aforesaid.
"In tbe first place there arose In the
provinces of Chih Li and Shan Tung a band
of rebellious subjects who had been In the
habit of practicing boxing and fencing In
tleir respective villages and at the same
time clothing their doings with splrltualifctie
and strange rites Tbe loral authorities
failed to take due notice of them at the
time. Accordingly the Infection spread with
astonishing rapidity. Within the month it
seemed to make it? appearance everywhere,
and finally even reached the capital itself.
Erery one looked upon tbe movement as su
pernatural and riracge and many Joined it.
"Then there were lawless and treacherous
persons who sounded the cry of 'Down with
Christianity.' About the middle of the fifth
moon these persons began to create dis
turbance without warning Churches were
burned and convert? were killed. The whole
city was In a ferment. A situation was
created which could not be brought under
control. At first the foreign powers re
quested that foreign troops be allowed to
enter the capital for the protection of the
legations. The Imperial government, having
In view the comparative urgency of the oc
casion, granted the request aa an extraor
dinary mark of courtesy beyond tbe require
ments of international intercourse. Over
tiOO foreign troops were sent to Pekln. This
show clearly bow much care Chins exer
cised in the maintenance of friendly rela
tions with other countries. The legations
at the capital never had much to do with
the people, but from the time the foreign
troops entered tbe city the guards did not
devote themselves exclufcively to the pro
tection of their respective legations. They
sometimes fired their guns on the top ot
. i . . . . . , . . .a . . i . . . ..,,. . .ti

streets everywhere There were reports of I
persons being hit by strav bullets More
over, they drolled about the city without
restraint and even attempted to enter the
tsung hua gate (the eastern gate of the
palace grounds.) They only desisted when
admittance was positively forbidden. On
this account both the soldiers and the peo
ple were provoked to resentment and voiced
their indignation with one aocord. Lawless
persons then took advantage of the situa
tion to do mischief and became bolder than
ever in burning and killing Christian con
verts. "The piowers thereupon attempted to rein
force the foreign troops in Pekln, but the
reinforcements encountered rertrtance and
defeat nt the hands of the insurgents on the
way and have not yet bees able to proceei
The lnsurgentp of the tw o provinces of Chih
Ll and Shan Tung had by this time ef
fected a complete union and could not be
separated. The Imperial government was
by no means reluctant to issue orders lor
the entire suppression of this insurgent ele
ment. But as the trouble was so near at
hand there was a great fear that due pro
tection might not be assured to the lega
tions, it the anarchists should be driven to
extremities, thus bringing on a sational ca
lamity There also was a fear that upris
ings might occur In tbe provinces of Chih
Ll and Shan Tung at the same time, with
tbe result that both foreign mlpilonaries
and Chinese converts in the two provinces I
might fall victims to popular fury. It was !
therefore absolutely necessary to consider ,
the matter from every point of view. I
"As a measure of precaution it was finally i
decided to request the foreign ministers to
retire temporarily to Tien Tsln for safety.
It was while the discussion of this proposi
tion was In progress that the German min
ister. Baron von Ketteler. was assassinated
by a riotous mob one morning while os his
way to tbe tsung 11 yamen. On the previous
day tbe German minister had written a let
ter appointing a time for calling at the
tsung 11 yamen. But the yamen. tearing he
might be molested on the way, did not con
sent to the appointment as suggested by tbe
minister. Since this occurrence the anarch
ists assumed a more bold and threatening at
titude, and consequently it was not deemed
wise to carry out the project of sending the
diplomatic corps to Tieo Tsln under an es
cort. However, orders were Issued to the troops
detailed for the protection of the delega
tions to keep stricter watch and take
greater precautions agatnrt an emergency.

"To our surprise on the 20th of the fifth
moon (June ICj foreign (naval) officers at
Teku called upon Lo Jung Kwang. the gen
eral commanding, asd demanded his surren
der of the torts, notifying him that falling
to receive compliance tber wsuld. at I o'clock
the next day, take steps to seize the forts
by force Lo Jung Kwang. being bound by
the dutle ot his odce to bold tbe forts,
bow could he yield to the demand? On the
dy stmed they actually first fired on tbe
forts, which responded and kept up a fish'
isg all day asd then surrendered. Thus
tho conflict cf forces begun, but certainly
the Initiative did not come from our side.
Even supposing test China were not con
scious of its true condition, how could it
take steps as to engage tn war with all the
powers simultaneously and how could it,
relying upon the support of an anarchistic
populace, go into war with tbe powers
"Our position In this matter ought to be
clearly understood by all the powers. The
above is a statement of the wrongs we have
suffered and hi-w China was driven to the
unfortunate position from which it could
cot escape.
"Our several ministers will mate known
accurately and In detail tbe contents of this
decree aud th policy of China to the min
ister cf foreign affairs ia their respective
countries asd assure them that military au
thorities are still strictly enjoined to afford
protection to the legations as hitherto to
the utmost ot their power. As tor the an
archlsti. they will be severely dealt with as
fclrcumitances permit.
"The several ministers will continue in the
discharge of the duties ot their often at
heretofore, without hesitation or doubt
This telegraphic decree t.- be transmitted for
their lafinsatlon."
The document gave great satlsfacties here,
as it i io wed. LMUtnisg there was some
foundation for the first report? that tbe im-T-crUl
government had encouraged the Box
ers and even participated in the attacks
on tbe legations, an effort is about to be
made to retrieve that mlnake.
The note It said to hare originated with
'.he privy ccuncll. and at the Stat depart
ment this body Is declared to be Identical
with tsong 11 yamen. being tbe power next
tbe throne, and tbe ose wh'rb deals exclu
sively with the foreign powers. Tie curious
means adopted for forwarding the note are
supposed to have bees resorted to because
what amount to martini law la civilised
countries is now In force Is Pekln asd Shan
Tung, so that the tsung 11 yamen would nat
urally confide the message to tbe War
board, now in supreme control, te secure its
transmission to Shanghai. The announced
purpose et the Chinese government te pro
tect the foreign ministers is gratifying to
the officials here, for they have all along
been more or less doubtful of tbe authen
ticity of the several dispatches which have
emanated from Shanghai respecting tbe re
lation between Prince Chmg and the le
gatloners. It Is said that the note does sot vt.ll to.
answer from the State department at this
ttage and will not materially affect the tali
Itary program laid down by our government.
Such forces as we can land in China will
be pushed forward with rapidity to Pekln.
The only consideration that would Induce 1
the administration to relax that program at
any point would be the reopening of com
munication with Minister Conger and his re
lease from any sort ot duress or restraint
Porsibly sow that the tsung 11 yamen is

permit the ferelgn ministers In Pekin. If
they are alive, to do tbe same Our gov

response.

tbe departments taking up their time.
Booker T. Washington, tbe negro educator,

at the Auditorium tonight, speaking on tbe
advance ot the negro along educational
lines.
The nominating committee will meet at
soon tomorrow and decide upon a candidate
for president. California Is expected to
present tbe name of Prof. Forshay of Los
Angeles, but the sentiment of many ot the
delegates Is that the honor should go to
the east. Trof. J. M. Green of Trenton,
N J., has many friends asd although he Is
sot pressing his candidacy, the chair is
likely to go to him. Colonel Parker of
Chicago will probably be made a vice pres
ident. Cincinnati and Detroit are claiming the
next convention. Tbe matter will be con
sidered tomorrow by the board of directors.
St. Louis has put tn a bid for the conven
tion in 1W3, the year of Its exposition.
"The Contributions of Religious Orcaslza
tlons to the Couse of Education" was the
general topic Is the foresoon session. Presi
dent Corson announced that Rev. Henry M.
Dutose, general secretary of the Epworth
League, who was to speak for the Methodist
church, had been compelled to return to
Nashville because of the Illness of his wife
President Cooper of Baylor university,
Texas, spoke for tbe Baptist church In the
cause of general education
Dr Condo B. Fallen of St Louis spoke for
the Catholic church. He sketched "Educa
tion" at the dawn of history and coming

Booker tVn.lilnsIon on Xrgro.
At the night session Prof. Booker T.
Washington, president of the Normal In
dustrial Institute of Tuskegee, Ala., made
an address, dealing with tbe negro. Pres
ident Washlngtos said in part.
When in any large measure a black skin
becomes a Fj-nonlm for the ownership ot
property, a bank oecount. thrift. Intelli
gence and virtue, our problem will In a
large decree have been solved While my
race Is patiently, often In the face of niucn
discouragement, trying to reacn this poJ
tlon, we shall need the help, the sym
pathy and forbearance of our white
brother
The real worth of a race, like an indi
vidual. Is tested by the fact whether or
not it Is able to make Itself of such valu
to the community In the activities of
hand, head and heart that the presence
of the race is indlspensble. It should be
the hich ambition of every negro to make
himself not a burden, but a helper, not a
receiver, but a giver, not a destroyer, but
a producer. With the prodigious Indus
trial development of the t-outh the ngro
has a golden opportunltv In every corner
of the south let it be the aim to rrlve the
black man tralninc. coupled with the
highest Intelligence in agriculture, the
trade, the domestic arts, as a foundation
for citizenship.
These will constitute the ground-work
tor higher and more Important occupa
tions as the world .tudces
But xv. as blark people i.nd you as white
people should remember that mere material
visible possessions, however Important,
will not alone solve our problem, and that
ducatlon of both races will be a failure
unless we keep constantly befor ub the
tact that the final aim of all education,
whether Industrial or acadmlc. Is to pro
duce goodness of heart honety of pur
pose, and that generosity of soul which
will make us s-ek the elevation and free
dom of all men. regardless of clu or race
The south will prosper tn proportion as
with development in agriculture. In mines
domestic arts and manufacturing there
goes that education which brings respect
for law. hro&dens the hart. sweetens the
nature and makes us feel that we are our
"brother's keeper,' whether that brother
was born In England. Italy. Africa or the
islands of the seas
There was a good attendance at tbe session
of higher education department and sev
eral interesting papers were read. Tbe first
speaker was President Charles F. Twyng.
Westers Reserve university, Clevelasd. His
topic was "The Satisfaction of Beisg a Col
lege Presidest."
Stntr I nl v-rltlr.
President Joseph Swayne of the University
of Indiana spoke on "The State University."
saying, among other things.
It Is the function of the state to cro
vide e-ducatlonal opportunities limited only
by the ability ot Its citizens to embrace
these opportunities Has the skilled phy
sician most benefited himself or the com
munitj ? Has the teacher most benefited
himself or his pupils" Graduates of uni
versities could not. if they would, appro
priate to themselves the fruits of their
university training. The university is
sometimes opposed on the ground that it
is unjust to ax men ot modest means to
support higher Instruction, as none but
the wealthy can po to college Statistics
do not support such a view, as more than
half of the students In many of our state
institutions are sons and daughters ot
farmers and mechanics The state institu
tion furnishes a common meeting cround
where the young men and young women ot
the stale are free from in lnfluence ex
cept those accepted by the state lts-lf. it
becomes a forum where the rUtnc young
men and women of the whole state may
know one another and value one another
rightly. Can we not depend upon wealthy
men wnouy to lurnisn iugni r eouraunr. .
This would be un-American Wealthv men
might grade our roads, build our court
houses, conduct our e-ourts, do anything
for tbe public good, if the stat should
neglect these matters, or turn them over
to private hands But this would not re
lease the people from their duty it. the
matter The people have safety only in
independence. The state can secure un
sectarian instruction, unpurtitan institu
tions only by providing th'se Itself This
does Jiot in the least dlfparare the exist
ence of private and denominational Insti
tutions, but Indicated that these alone are
not sufficient
In contributing to the growth and main
tenance of the state university we not
only make better every high school in
the state, and therefore the common
schools, but every step of the university
In advance compels like steps In other
eolleces and private schools of the state.
While It must sacredly "preserve all the
treasures of the past, and must not neg
