WASHINGTON. Aug. IB. Al the close of
a day of Intense anxiety the I), partment
of Stale today made public the latist cor
icspondcnco between the I'nlted States gov
ernment and China, constituting not only
a remarkable scries of stale papers, but
ni the snina time dispelling nil doubt and
uncertainty ns to the American policy In
tho present critical Juncture. The urgent,
almost pathetic appeal of 1. 1 Hung Clung,
Mibmitted early In the day, that tho vic
torious mnrin of the utile slop at Tun?
Chow and that tho military commanders (
cn the Held ho Instructed to arrange an
armistice nt that point, was met with a
rerponvn that General Chalfee already had

ering him to carry out an arrangement In
concert with other commanders for the
delivery of the ministers and persons un
der their protection to tho relief column,
lint at Tung Chow, us had been suggested,
but at the Imperial city of I'okln.
Furthermore, U waB made known to
China that General Chaffee's Instructions
loft him free rein us to whether ho should
insist on entering Pekln and going to the
lrgatlons or should receive tho delivery
of tho logalloncrs nt the gato of tho Inner
Tartar city or at the great outer wall. In
short, China, through her pence envoy,
Bought a halt and an nrmlstlco at Tung
Chow, twelvo miles from Pekln, whereas,
the response of the American government
la that If thero Is to bo u halt an armistice-It
must bo ut tho walls of tho Im
perial elty.
Tho conclusions of tho government were
announced nfter nn extended cabinet meet
ing and woro embodied In suvoral oUlclal
btalements.
Tho following memorandum was handed
to Mr. Adeo by Mr. Wil at 0 o'clock this
morning:
"A cable from Karl LI Hung Chang, en

respective commanders, after arriving at
Ting Chow with their forces, to stop their
further advance to the capital, ho us not to

NKW YORK, Aug. 16. Inspector Thomp
son, with 100 policemen, ln addition to the
Boveral hundred regular men In tho pre
cincts, affected by the riot between ne
groes nnd whites last night, was on the
ground In tho riotous district before
nightfall and he kept his men on tho move.
They had orders to arrest any man, black
or white, who evinced tho slightest dispo
sition toward rioting.
The danger spot was recognized to bo
around the West Thirty-seventh street sta
tion. In Thirty-sixth, Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-ninth streets aro many largo negro
tenements. Everybody was kept on tho
move. Karly In the evening the patrol- I
men began tn bring ln prisoners. William
Klllott, colored, 21 years old, was nrivntod
for buying a revolver. Ho declined to
surrender the weapon nnd wns arrested.
On the way to tho station he resisted and
tho policeman used his club. When HI
I lot t was brought Into the station he was
bleeding from two scalp wounds and was
baldly able to talk.

to iiso his weapon, hut Gaynor bent him
with his stick until the fellow begged for
mercy. Ho had n four-Inch gash In his
face when locked up.
Inspector Thompson was near Eighth
avonue and Fortieth street, when ho no
ticed a tumult aboard an Eighth nvonue
cn.r Ho ran with a couple of men to In
vestigate and found that a negro passen
ger wns the cause of tho trouble. Inspec
tor Thompson arrived Just In time to see
a paving stone crash through tho car
window nnd Iny the negro out with a stun
ning blow on tho head Louis Swartz, 18
years of age, throw the stone. He was
arrtfstcd. On tho way to tho station Jacob
Oombcl undertook to tnko Swartz from
tho policeman nnd was arrested.
o .More Trnulile Mxpeeled.
Chief of Police Dcvcry said tonight: "I
expect no moro trouble. Thero will bo
some few arrests, but I have 1,000 men
within striking distance nnd wo will seo
that no mobs got the start on us. The
captains will regulate tho police work In
their several precincts. I will bo lu per
sonal command.
"Wo havo taken unusual precautions,
but expect nothing like last night's dis
turbances." Many fights between whites and blacks
resulted tonight. Vincent A. Streets, col
ored, nnd James Shane, white, began a
row and both were arrested. Alex Robin
son, a negro, and a colored friend were
on u Thirty-fourth street car. Someone set
up a shout as they neared Eighth avenue
that tho, two negroes ought to be lynched.
A man' with n clothesline nppenrcd from
somewhere and tho two negroes were
pulled off the car. Tho ropo was thrown
nround Roblnson'H neck nnd with flftv men
nnd boys pulling, tho mob started for a
lamp post. A squad of police appeared
before tho mob had gono far and with
much clubbing dispersed tho crowd. The
two negroes got nway.

Every pawnshop ln tho "Tenderloin" did
a thriving trade In small arms today.
A leading pawnbroker said most of the
purchasers were negroes.
Peuco was not icsloicd In the nntl-negro
district until after 3 o'clock this morning.
During the riot It Is estimated that COO police
wcro on duty nnd ambulances from every
hospital on tho west side were kept busy. Tho
police estimate puts the number of
wounded at fifty and tho number of ar
rests forty. Tho most determined and des
perate hand-to-band light which occurred
during tho riot was that between Detective
John Kennedy nnd tho negro, Lloyd Leo.
Leo acted like a madman when Kennedy
ordered him to movo on. Refusing to do
so, he said to Kennedy:
"I know you. You aro Thorpe's partner.
I have been laying for you," and at tho
snme tlmo ho slashed Kennedy in the
shoulder, Inflicting n deep wound. Kennedy
pulled his revolver and fired four shot3.
Ono bullet went through Leo's Jaw. Police
men camo running from different direc
tions and wont In search of Lee. In the
search another negro, David Carr, got a
tcrrlblo beating, nnd when ho wns taken to
Bellevue it was found that he had u frac
tured skull, a fractured arm and a bat
tered face. Kennedy was taken to tho
New York hospital. Later ho was taken
to Bellevue. where ho Identified Leo ns his
assailant. When Leo saw Kennedy ho
shouted: '-'I am up and about nnd you aro
down. V n you, I guess you aro down
for good. I hope so."
Captain Cooncy nnd Kennedy say that
Leo threatened soveral days nyo to "do"
Kennedy because tho latter was Thorpo't,
partner.
Whllo Kennedy nnd L?e were In the
struggle word was sent to Caplnln Cooney
that Kennedy had boon killed. This In
tensified the excitement among the re
serves, who rushed from the station and
charged down tho street. In doing so
they encountered mobs of whites at vari
ous points. In making an indiscriminate
chnrgo upon tho mob a negro was dis
covered. He started to run und the moh
and tho reserves, close behind, guvo chase.
The negro ran into tho Marlborough hotel
and escaped through tho ofllcn Into Broad
way, und this added to the excitement.
Trimble Spread to llroad n a j .
Groups had gathered at various points
along Broadway and were discussing the
lint. When they saw tho negro como out
nf tho Marlborough the grouns quickly as
Blmilated with tho mob nnd the chaso was
continued, until It seemed as If Iho entlro
disorder and riot had been transferred to
Broadway.
Wherever a negro was scon ho was nn the
run, whether ho had been a participant In
the riot or not. This was the caso of ono
who ran out of a sldo street near Forty
second street, chased by a mob. The negro
ran Into Shanley'o restaurant, ono nf iho
fashionable uptown cafes. Tho placo was
filled with people, many of whom wero
women. The sight nf tho fugitho negro
covered with blood created a panic among
tho women In tho cafe, who rushed out
side only to find themselves In the midst
of a moh howling for blood. Some of the
patrons of the enfo who were dining up
Blnlrs wero with difficulty restrained from
Jumping nut of tho windows.

TRIAL NEARING ITS END
Jury In Pmrer' Trial for Murder of
liorhel l,lt,el to lie (ihrn
fuse Tonluht.
GEORGETOWN, Ky..Aug. Ifi.-Thc argu
ments In the case of e-Sccretnry of State
Powers havo proceeded according to pro
gram today nnd If they continue lu like
manner tomortow the case will go to
the Jury tomorrow night. Much Interest
Is being taken In the argument of Thomas
Campbell for the prosecution tomorrow
forenoon nnd In the argument of ex-(lov-ernor
Brown for the defenno tomorrow
afternoon, while Commonwealth's Attorney
Franklin will rlose the case tomorrow
night. Although It Is believed tho Jury wilt
disagree, yet the coming verdlrt is being
nwnltcd here with Intense Interest on ac
count of Its Influence on the other cases,
ns well as to its bearing so far .is Caleb
Powers Is concerned.
Victor lltadley, who continued his speech
for the prosecution, likened the armed
petitioners who went to Frankfort to a
highwayman who drew his revolver nnd
"petitions" the traveler for his purse. He
told the Jury that It had been proed that
Charles Flnlcy had said: "Goehel will bo
killed within days and In less than that
time Goehel was lying quivering on the
pavement. Ho also claimed that It had
been proved that Caleb Powers had said:
"If no one else will kill him I will kill him
myself," that Henry Youtsey said Goehel
could bo killed from Powers' otllco and
tho assassin could run down Into the base
ment and never bo discovered. A few sec
onds after tho shooting It is proved that
tho secretary did run down Into tho base
ment, out through the bnrher shop and
back through tho east entrance Into the
olllce next to Powers.
Spi'tikn for tin Defeii!'.
When Bradley had concluded J. II. Tlns
loy of Barbourvllle began for the defense.
He said that one fact stood out above
every other In this case and that was that
Powers wns not within fifty miles of I
Frankfort when tho shot was fired, had '
locked his olllco before ho Ir-ft and nn ono i
wns locked in It; that he could not pos
sibly have known who llred tho shot or
where It was llred from.
Golden wns specially bitter In his de
nunciation of his own brother-in-law. Rev.
J. T. Stamper, nnd said: "He Is a preacher
It Is said, but If you could tako the lid from
the hottcit pit of hell you would find Just
such people as Stamper In It. ' Lawyer Tins
ley said one thing In his speech and Rev.
Stamper sworo directly the opposite, and If
you Jurynjen have any doubt whether ho In
lying I will throw In Lawyer Sinclair nnd
let you draw straws for the liar."
In referring to the way tho defenso lias
heaped abuse on T. Q. Campbell, ho snld:
"Tho Goebcl brothers arc being abused for
trying to ferret out the assn'ssln of their
brother and unused for omploylng Colonel
Campbell. I want to say that whatever may
be said nbout Campbell he has been hitting
the hullseye ln this caso right along. Wo ad
mit that we have Imported Campbell from
another state, but the defense must ndmlt
that they havo exported Taylor and Flnley."
(Ii en Siieiilcn for Defeiine.
Colonel Owens made hy far the best speech
tonight that has been made for the defense.
He went Into the testimony In detail and
told tho Jury that Caleb Powers could not
be convicted on statements of co-consplra-tors
and said that the testimony of neither
Culton nor Nonkos nor Golden had been
corroborated by any other witneas. He com
pared Colonel Campbell's schooling of wit
nesses to tho training of unlmals by a pro
fessor of dog and horso shows. Ho said he
wished tho books of the $100,000 reward
commission could show the promises made
for conviction, as he would bet tho wholo
amount could not be paid by tho $100,000.
Ho was dramatic In declaring that he would
not hang a dog on tho vile testimony' In
troduced by tho prosecution.
If a night session Is held tomorrow night
tho wholo argument will conclude with tho
speech of Mr. Franklin, tho commonwealth's
nttorney.

LONDON, Aug. 16. A cablegram to
Vienna from Hong Kong announces the cap
ture of Pekln, but the Austrian govern
ment, like other European powers, Is still
without conlirnintlon of this report. An
olllclal telegram, dated Tukii, August 11,
has been received at Rome. 11 nsiiertH that
tho attack on Pekln began Monday, that
Sir Claude McDonald, the British minister,
had opened communication with tho reliev
ing forco and Hint tho allies have estab
lished their headquarters at Tung Chow,
Chinese officials in Shanghai nro re
ported us admitting that tho allies In
flicted n heavy defeat on the Chinese Im
perial troops nround Tung Chow Sunday
and then marched direct on Pekln. This, if
true, carries tho Japauese olllclal advices
announcing tho capture of Tung Chow ono
step further.
Western powers, nccordlng to a dispatch
to the Dally Express from Kobe, have ac
cepted tho proposals formulated by Japan
for arranging nn nrmlstlce, dependent upon
tho Imniedlnto delivery of tho foreign le
gations to tho allies or the granting of
permission to the allied forces to enter
Pekln and to guard tho legations. Upon
these bases tho correspondent says Japan
has already begun to negotiate.
Shanghnl dispatches iteclnro that tho
Chinese had Intended to ninko a final attack
upon the legations last Sunday, but
whether tho plan wns carried nut is not
known there.
From tho same place comes tho state
ment thut Vice Admiral Seymour and
Brigadier General Crcah hao Joined In
the protest against tho withdrawal of tho
British troops. All tho morning papers,
which comment on tho subject, appeal to
Lord Salisbury not to withdraw them and
dllato upon the serious results of such nn
action to British prestige.
American negotiations looking to a ces
sion of hostilities nlso receive consider
able attention, favorable and otherwise,
but all tho editorials agree that too pre
cipitate ii withdrawal from I'okln after
tho delivery of tho legations would huv
a bad effect upon the Chinese mluds,
Tho concomitlB of opinion oxprcuncd by
tho mornlug papers tends to the belief that
tho legations nro now safo with the allies.

special dispatch Bays that tho headgear
of tho Americans was qulto Insufficient

Tho Shanghai Gazette openly Impeaches
