THE LEADJER GUTHEIE OKLAHOMA
CONSUL
G00DN0W
Thinks Minister Conger has
Neon Killed.
"WASHINGTON JULY 13.A short ca-
blegram received nt tho atato dopurtm nt
today from Consul General Goodnaw nt
Shnmrhnl. nnounclns the boglnlng of the
final attack on tho legations nt Pekln
terribly depressed tho oniclnlB here. All
alons they havo Buspected that tho vari-
ous communications received from tha
yhlnoso forces In Shanghai have been
preparing tho way for tho nnouncement
of the extermination of tho foreign mln-lBtoi-H
and tholr wives children attaches
dependents and guards. Tho consul gen-
oral's mossnge It is understood Is but a
repetition of the latest proas report from
Shanghai but tho ntu.t department 1as
como to place a high estimate on Mr.
Goodnow's advices.
It appropriates tho fnct that ho does
not send evory pleco of unreliable gos-
sip afloat In tho sensational new'.- center
nt which Ira Is stationed but uses good
judgment In sifting tho probablo out
from tho oilier kind of news. Moreover
his ndvlco this time Is from tho Chinese
governor of the province wherein Shang
hai Is situated and it iv hard to conceive
of an adequate reason for tho falsifica-
tion of tho facts by that official In tho
direction of this particular report. There-
fore tho state department which has all
along been hopeful of the ultimate rescue
of the ministers at Pekln has now Joined
European chancellories In tho belief that
they have all been killed.
ON TO PEKIN.
WASHINGTON JULY 13.-"On to Pe-
kln" is tho policy adopted by our govern-
ment. It Is Viald that regardless of tho
Issues raised as to tho authenticity of
tho late Chinese note or tho accuracy
of Its statement of fact or tho question
raised as to tho responsibility for tho
present situation our government at
least Is determined not to relax Its ef-
forts to reach Pekln to get In touch with
Conger If ho Is alive to take tho neces-
sary steps for the protection of American
interests and In fact to do all theso
things set out In his note to tho powers
including a recounting with tho person or
persons responsible for the outrageous
events of tho past six weeks. Twenty-
four hours' consideration of tho Chinese
note leaves the officials here convinced
that It marks the beginning of a general
effort on the part of the Chinese officials
to relieve themselves from tho responsi-
bility for the trontrriont of tho foreign
ministers and tho light at Tion lVIn. That
In' Itself Is rogardd ns a hopeful sign of
the approaching collapse of tho boxer
movement and tho termination of the
stato of Insurrection that exists in Pekln
and Shan Tung.
Victor's do not apologize; hence tho ex-
clupatory statement yesterday Is believed
to be pregnant with meaning.
The nows from Tion Tsln of tho un-
satisfactory rotations between the allied
forces goes to confirm tho war depart-
ment officials hero In their orlg nal con-
viction thnt two or three brigade1 of Am-
erican troops voterans of the Ind an war
of the Cuban campaign and of the Phil-
ippine Jungle hunts could hnve achieved
Borne valuable results by this time had
they been at Tien Tsln.
SPARE NO EXPENSE.
WASHINGTON JULY 13.-Tho Chinese
minister Mr. Wu. was undertaken to iret
through a cipher cable n:sage from '
secretary Hay to United States Minister
Conger at Pekln and to hnve the answer
brought back if Mr. Conger Is alive. The
message was prepared by Secretary Hay
and Its contents nro unknown save any-
one but him. It was sent to Shanghai
with explicit instructions from Minister
Wu to spnro no effort or expanse to get
It Into tho hands of Mr. Conger.
NO WORD FROM KEMEY.
WASHINGTON JULY V -Secretary
Long atatod nt n late hour tnight that
ho hnd not received a word from Admir-
al Remy In commnnd of 1ho Asiatic
station and now in Chinese Mate s. The
fact thnt the admiral has not made any
report of tha condition said to exist In
Pekin and the. reported murfler of the
minister the secretary regards as a hope-
ful Igh ns lie Inclines to the opinion
that had any finality occurred in the cap-
ital some word or rumor of it might have
found Its way to Tien Tsln or Tnku.
THAT CHINESE EDICT.
WASHINGTON JULY 13-Mr. Wu tha
Chlneao minister said that at tho time
thnt ho presented to Secretary Hay the
Imperial edict denning China' attitude
In tho present cvrlsis that a copy of tho
document had been s-nt to the idplnmat
of China stationed In each of the coun-
tries whoso ministers are in Pekln. Some
surprise Is manfested here thnt the edict
hnd not boon presented by the several
ministers before this time but this may
be duo to delay In deciphering it from
tho code Into whhh it was transmitted.
SAN FRANCISCO. JULY 13.-Consul
Gonoral Ho Yow representing tho Im-
perial government of China in this city
has sent to the chamber ot commerce
a communication exprestlv of his re-
grot at ttho outbreak in China which
havo broken tho cordial iclatit.ns of the
two peoples.
Ho says tho trouble was exp-'clally un-
fortunate coming at this pait-cn'ar tlmo.
when the future was big wlch the prom-
ise for an Immense business between this
coast and China and added;
"Hut In tho turmoil It Is comforting to
know that tho Imporlal government has
nt all tlmofi been earnest In its desire
to suppross the assailants hai shown no
sympathy with the mobs its views and
its purposes and will undouh'ea'ly when

"Tho government of China as much as
It may bo represented is favorable to
progress and it is desirous of extending
through tho emplro tho Ugh of western
knowledge and of adopting and applying
to tho industrial and stragetliai advan-
tages of the country thos marvelous
benefits which western thought has wrest-
ed from nature and brought under the
control of man.
After speaking of the corning impor-
tance of China in the' business world
and declaring that the United States Is
tho nation whose people are best endowed
with ability to reap the benefits of Chi-
na's trade tho consul general says:
"And as our government and the in-
fluences which attend it is. and will here-
after bo alert to suppress antr Caucasslan
bias so must you here resist dlssconte-
nanco and denounce all anti-Mongolian
bias."
Many women throughout the coun
try make pin money out of thei
chickens. We havo known women
who have clothed the entire family
with the proceeds of the poulry yard
and some have paid oft' mortgages an
others havj bought their Inices by
intelligent management of their
iloeks. Everybody interested in
chickecs should get Biggie's Poultry
Hook. It is so full of helpful sugges-
tions and short cuts to success and
has so many years of costly experi-
ence boiled down for its pages that it
is poor economy to be without it. It
will help increase the income from
the poultry yard and has started

DU'S REVIEW
NEW YORK JULY 18.--R. J. Dun &
Company'si revlow of trade tomorrow
will says:.
If the great lncreaso sn (a lures to
$100570134 In th flmt haK oi 1'JOO. against
$19004001 last yonr and eapeji.i ly to $13-
MI3.079 laiit year gave n occasion for
diligent search failure return will bo
worth notlnc. But today 1 2 shown
that thirty banking failures for $25S22.
02 against th..ty-one Icisit y. ar for $7
C01.72S accounted for much of the dif-
ferences that twenty-five brokerage and
real estate failures for $":2 1222316
against 115 last yenr for only $232S215
accounted for another part and that In
building and lumber working and trade
other large fal.ures distinctly connected
with those In real estate explain much
more of the differs nee between manufac-
turing and trade failures last year and
this. In these and much less Important
changes In a few other lines are seen
substantially all the commercial disas-
ters as yot resulting from an amazing
rise in prices last year followed by wea-
ry but largely successful efforts during
the past few months to get to a normal
state of business. When this is seen
and thu remarkable steadiness In num-
ber and size o'f 'the great majority Jof
failures not for exceptional amounts
there appears ground for especial grati-
fication that business has been on tho
whole w Soundly conducted under con-
ditions of unusual danger. Tho Iron Age
makes the output of pig 2S3.413 tonp
weekly July 1 but tha decrease of 10000
itons has by this time been exceediAL
other furnaces having stopped this
mo-nth and repairs of works and of
wage scale's may yet occupy some weeks
Cotton speculation has held itho price
too high for the comfort of foreign spin-
ners who have not provided for all their
wants but tho arrangement by the Fall
River committee to close for a month
or more a large part of tho Neav Eng-
land mills will clear away dispute about
tho market for goods. The woolen man-
ufacturer is in no better posJUon with
vome of the best mills closed in part or
wholly on account of tho uncertainty of
the demand. "Wool Is growng weaker
and even offered by some westerners at
prices which were refused not long ago
but the mills do not yet know what
goods they will be able to sell and from
a temporary Idleness there seems to be
no escape.
Prices of shoe's are not weaker but a
larger proportion of the makers appear
disposed to make concessions already
mentioned. So light Is new business that
Jobbers also seem to havo modified
their views.
Leather grows weaker though kid has
held steadily owing to decreased pro-
duction. Splits nre a little lower but
most upper leather is steady.
The end of the crop year has brought
the usual estimates whic'i command no
more confidence thtn usual. If the coun-
try gets out of a crop officially called
517000000' bushe's all It wants (for food
s'-ed and 200000000 j'or qxpoft with con-
sdderabo left over in sight it Is 'the easy
Inference that anxiety is needless. There
1 no evidence as yet and for some time
to come cannot be that injuries sus-
tained have been as great as some sup-
posed so that alarm Is not more neces-
sary than it was last year.
Failures for the week have been 190 in
the United States against 109 last year
and 2C in Canada against 24 last year.
NEW YORK JULY 12. Bradstreets Fi-
nancial Review tomorrow will say:
Much nttentlon is paid at this psi'iid
by tho speculating world to corn crop
condidtions and prospects. Tho news bear-
ing on this subject at presetn has been
favorable though drought and hot winds
in the western portion of the com be t
havo furnished material for stories of a
total loss to the crop in that section.
This was the reason for tho selling of
some of the granger slocks during the
week. The Chinese troubles also continu-
ed to look very grave. Though at the
beginning of the week the disposition in
London and the other foreign financial
centers was to look on tho absence of
news from Pkln as a good rather than
a bad sign. London's sales of American
stocke were counterbalanced by re-
newed purcha-es and it. was noted that
all the foreign offerings have beenvery
well taken. In fact tho market though
a narrow one has shown a very remarka-
ble degree of undelaylng strength and
the chief activity was in connection with
tile advances of several prominent trad-
ing stocks like the Union Pacific Balti-
more and Ohio Common and Sugar.
In tho case of tho first two mnetloned
securities the movements were based on
renewed rumor3 of. favorablo action in
connection with dividends.
The bond market is bare of offerings
and in some cases prices for favorite
madoratoly high issues havo fully recov-
ered the. amount of tholr Jujy coupons
In the past fortnight.
