The Confederate Veterans In their
annual convention In Louisville decid-
ed that the war of ahooid be
known as the "war between the
States." This is the name that Alexan-
der H. Stephens favored and it 1 the
one generally used by the people of the
south In speaking of that war the
northern people calling It the rebellion.
Strange It is that neither name Is a cor-
rect definition of the event. All know
that there no rebellion. States that
bad sovereignty could not be guilty of
rebellion. Neither was It a war be-
tween the states .but actually a war
between two governments made up of
states. Some writers call It a civil war
yet It was mot a war between citizens
In tbelr civil capacity but as before
said a war between regularly organ-
ised governments. There la In. fact no
concise way of naming the conflict;
hence these misnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one of
calling It by the years of Its beginning
and close namely the war of 1861-5.

CE1SIS HAS PfCtUPS PASSED
Conviction is Mroog at Washlngtoa
That the Climax has Beea Passed "
at Pekin and the Ministers " '
Have Met Their Fate. 1
Washington Aug. 16. The
crisis In Pekin has probably
passed. The fate of the minis
ters has probably been decided.
Official Washington believes this.
Secretary Adee and Secretary
Root are conflict that this has
been the critical day. ' This
opinion based on the ' supposed
dispatch of Minister Conger
advices from General Chaffee
Admiral Remey and other infor
mation that has not been given
out There is no doubt that
everybody connected with the
administration who is in position
to know what is going on believes
that the climax came today and
that it is all . over at Pekin one
way or the other. These opin
ions are based on three hypoth
eses: First the allies have
reached the gates of Pekin and
demanded entrance under a flag
of truce this has been granted
and the legationers are safe.
Second the time fixed by the
imperial government in which
the foreigners must leave Pekin
has expired and they have been
thrust outside of the gates and
left at the mercy of the anti-for
eign element beyond the walls;
this means murder. Third the
demand of the allied army to
enter Pekin has been refused.
This refusal would be tanta
mount to a declaration of war by
China against the world. It
would be throwing off the mask
and the last hope of saving the
ministers would b9 gone. This
would force the various' govern-
ments either of the second or
third contingencies into the be
lief that the position of the for-
eign representatives could not be
more critical.
An important dispatch was re
ceived today from Consul Gen-
eral Goodnow at Shanghai. It
was not made public but it is
known that it contained a warn-
ing to distrust all Chinese prop
ositions and suggested the likeli
hood of determined resistance to
the allies at Pekfn.
Washington Aug. 16. The
United Stales stands today just
where it stood at first and no
efforts on the part of Li Hung
Chaug or the imperial author i
ties will avail' to stop even for
an hour the forward movement
of the allied forces. It is true
that the administration realizes
that a crisis is at hand in China
and hence the officials do not at
tempt to disguise their anxiety
for the immediate future. They
are "hoping for the best and be-
lieve that the rescue of the bele-
aguered ministers is now only
a matter of a very short time
but nevertheless the fear is
ever present that the Chinese in
Pekin realizing their desperate
situation may massacre every
