Word came early in'tho day to tho navy
department that General Chaff- -e had
reached Matow, about twenty miles from
Pekin. This occurred Friday or Satur-
day, though the dispatch from General
Chaffee, sent through Admiral Rem -y,
was not sufficiently definite to locate tho
exact time of reaching Matow. But In
any event three or four days have, elap-
sed since then, and there has beeni time
for a still further advance toward the
imperial city.
The feeling among official* was shown
In the extreme circumspection thrown
about all messages relating to China, and
it was announced both at the state de-
partment and war department that any
communications from Minister Congt r or
tho United States consuls concerning af-
fairs in China would not be made public,
vas explained that this was in no way
to any desire t< keep from the publlo
information of an important character
but was based solely on the fact that tho
crisis involved so many possibilities of
extreme hazard to the eight hundred le-
gatloners at Pekin that the greatest cau-
tion mustbo obsi rved aaglnst disclosures
which would further imperil those in
danger.
The actuaF development of the day con-
sisted of . the Remey dispatch heretofore
alluded to and one from Consul Gener-
al Goodnow at Shanghai. The state de-
partment declined to make known tho
contents of the Goodnow dispatch. This
opened a wide Held of conjecture, tho
-st generally accepted view bf ing that
Mr. Goodnow had advised against the
plan of delivering the legatloners out-
side of the city of Pekin.

ROBERTS CABLES.
A HITCH.
THE STRIKE GREW WORSE IN-
STEAD OF BETTER.
VANCOUVER, B. C. AUGUST 15.—
Just as the strike of the machinists on
the Canadian Pacific railway seemed on
the verge of settlement a hitch arose be-
tween the conferees and as a result the
bollermakers and blacksmiths quit work
in sympathy with the machinists. There
aro now no men at work in tho locomo-
dopartment. The blacksmiths and
rmakers at Trail and Revelstoki
went out. Representatievs of the al-
1 lied machinists were again in consultation
I in Winnipeg with Messrs. Cross and Ord ti
officials of tho Canadian Pacific In ar
endeavor to reach a settlement.
It Is understood that the machinists de-
mand an increase in pay in addition to
the schedule and also demand recognition
cf events. It has been a day of extrem-
ist anxiety, of watching and waiting,
with only meagre and fragmentary in-
formation as to the military and diplo-
matic phases.
One of the new developments today was
the statement that messages are b ing
received from Conger which are not
transmitted through any of our officials
under Chinese escort. It Is poslble that
the message, which is quite long, will
convey additional information when Its
complications are unravelled.
With the army at Matow It is felt
that any of the several conditions might
be presented in the near future. The
Chinese officials concurred In the belief
expressed by the Chinese minister t
London, that there would be a speedy
and sudden change ana peace within
the next f< w weeks. On the other hand.

member of tho anti-imperialist league of
Boston, of which George S. Boutwell is
president and Erwin Winslow is secre-
tary. 1 have published many articles
and letters denouncing the piratical war
carried on by President McKinley against
your people. He and General Otlsi and
all his troops are pirates upon the terri-
tory of the natives. Our presidents are
not in tho position of kings. Our presi-
dents are not In the leust authorized to
make war with the consent of congress
as McKinley Is doing, and all persons
comprised In this war are pirates.

"If i were not an old man of more than

"I also suggest that the Filipino con-
gress address an appeal to the people
of th«i United States. I will not give
the heads of this appeal. I merely point
some things which will especially in-
fluence the people. For example, a ref-
erence to the d<wlaratlon of independence
must be inserted, but I bolieve It also
necessary for you also to mention in your
nppeal the points I have made above to
show that this war Is piracy, using them
to bring cut tin want of Christian fool-

orately lied when they said that Agoncllh:
advised Agulnaldo to fight and that n
telegram stating tho opposite was inter-
cepted.
"The war was advised from Washington
to secure passage of the treaty. Do not
fall to Insist upon tho atrocities before
mentioned, especially the assassination
in cold blood of women and children and
the sack of property and noneombatants
perpetrated by officers and soldiers, es-
pecially by a captain named Otis, who In
believed to be a relative of th* general,
who not only took no steps for tho pun-

not even reprimand them.
"If you can prove that women have
been violated put that also in your state-

"You should offer to prove all these at-

ed for the rooms of the Illinois Steel
Company's plant at South Chicago on
Friday.
The nexv machine is used in making
pig iron. At the present method hardly
a minute elapses from the time the
molten metal leaves th • furnace until
it Is on Ingot and on the freight cars
ready to be dumped in the .steel fur-

The old method required a force of
2r.O men besides a wait of several hours
before the iron was cool. The machine
which is the Invention of Walter A.
Hardy of the Carnegie Steel Mills, was
constructed at a cost of $.*.0,000.
