THE LEADER OUT! ELE OKLAHOMA
v
CONSUL
Fowler Gives Assuratico I hat
Ministers are Safe
WASHINGTON July 2S. The sec-
retary of stnte has received a dispatch
from Mr. Fowler the American con-
sul at Che Foo dated at midnight on
the 2Cth: "This morning by request of
the allied admirals. I wired the govern-
or (supposed to be the governor of
Shon Tung) their wish to get news
from the ministers themselves. The
governor now replies:
" 'Have rocoived today edict from the
emperor saying that ministers are well.
They are sending provisions to the le-
gations. I am confident ministers are
out of distress and request you (Fow-
ler) transmit this preliminary an
nouncement to admirals.'
(Signed) "YUAN governor."
A later d!spatch from Fowlor dated
1 p. m. the 27th to the state depart-
ment as follow: 'Another teegram
from governor:
" 'Have jtigt received imperial edict
24th saying various ministers except-
ing German are well and some days
ago hnd supplied provisions to lega-
tions. Am satisfied ministers are out
of distress.' "
Signed) "YUAN governor."
i
Secretary Hay has also received a
cablegram from Consul McWade Can-
ton stating that the viceroy Tak as-
sures him that the ministers were all
alive arid well on July 24.
WASHINGTON July 28. The de-
pressng fact always in mind that the
Chinese authorities by their own
statements are able to communicate
with the legations for some myster-
ious reason do not permit these unfor-
tunates to comunlcate with their own
Boverments. Minlser Wu's explana-
ion of this is the Chinese methods are
different from our own is scarcely suf-
ficient for the officials here. The
minister however is honestly trying
to get a further communication
to Mr. Conger and It may be that
success In this undertaking will afford
him a brilliant vindication. At least he
maintains a wonderful show of confi-
dence In the safety of the legations
and manages to impress this in some
degree on the officials and others with
whom he comes in contact.
There waa nothing of interest from
China respecting the military and na-
val forces there. The war department
officials now calculate that General
Chaffee with his troops on the Grant
will arrive at Tnku this evening but
it may be several days before report
of the" fact can reach the department.
The irregular and unsatisfactory
character of the present system of
communication between Taku and the
cable office has been taken into ac-
count by the war department and it
Is said that one of Chaffee's first acts
on taking command of the United
Stntos forces on shore at Taku and
Tien Tsln will be to establsh perhaps
In co-operation with other command-
ers a line of rapid boats running from
Tien Tsln to Shanghai.
While the positive statement is made
that It is not the present lntent'on to
send any more troops from Manila to
China at the same time it is known
that all contingencies have been can-
vassed and if an emergency should
arise in China T7hich made It Impera-
tive to have additional troops they
would be drawn from the Philippines
for temporary duty at least. Some
time ago General MacArthur was ad-
Ised by I ecretary Root to ma'ntain
suffie'ent t.-nnsports to carry supplies
between Manila and Taku and these
transports would bo available for any
omprgencv troop. The Pennsylvania
Ind.ara and Sumner when the latter
arrive at Manila will probably bo
heM for service between Manila and
Taku and will be available for the con-
tingency which may arise. A stubborn
resistance to the advance of the inter-
national armies might make addition-
al troop necessary. In that event a
speedy relle column no doubt would
be sent from Manila.
LONDON. JULY 20.-The hopes df Eu-
rope for the safety of at least soma
mobers of th legation at Pekln which
earlier In the week had commenced to
Tovlve are row flickering and at the
point of oxtlne-ulshment. It has been
pointed out hen that there has been am-
ple time to get authentic messages signed
and dated by tho ministers. This is the
only confirmation of Chinese assurances
that will bo acceptable. Until such ad-
vices have been received or until the
ministers havo boon handed over In the
flash the general public and the govorn-
mnts will not attach any further credence
to Chlneso statomonts or consent to stav
preparations for the advance of the relief
frroe toward Pekln.
SHANGHAI JULY 2S.-II ft reported
that Admiral Seymour Is coming here
but the date of his arrival Is uncertain. .
It has been decided as a matter of pre-1
caution to put the French settlement in !
a state of defence and at the request of
the French authorities the commandor of
thfe Dutch cruiser Holland will take
charge of the work.

PARIS July 28. Yu Keng the
Chinese minister here says he is con
vinced that the legat'ons in Pekln are
safe and sound although some of the
buildings have been destroyed. While
thin conviction is not shared by the of-
ficial and polltloal world here dis-
patches received from the far eaat dur-
ing the past week have raised hope
that some. If not all of the member
of the legations are still alive. Min-
ister Yu Keng thinks the silence of the
ministers at Pekln not so ominous as
it Is considered abroad and he ask3
that China be given another five days
credit to produce authentic and satis-
factory news of the legations or pef-
hnn.q. nf the ministers themselves.
.He himself Is still In Ignorance of the
actual situation in Pekln but con-
cludes from dispatches he has received
from the provincial viceroys and from
telegrams asking for mediation of
France that Emperor Kwang Hsu and
the empress dowager have the upper
hand and that Prince Tuan has been
definitely mastered.
"Happily for my country and for the
foreigners" he said "Yung Lu and
Prince Ching are I believe now In
power and this leaves me hopeful
.n hnnrrh the presumption of the
ministers may prove correct that th"
legations are still alive."
The feeling obtains here that this
may not solve the situation and that
though alive the ministers were still
nrobnbly held as hostages. The equivo
cal declarations of Li" Hung Chang
have served to deepen the feeling of
mistrust regarding all Chinese affirm-
ation and information.
The Assoc'ated Press learns that the
foreign governments Intend to disre-
gard LI Hung Chang's recommenda-
tionswhich they believe are made In
bad faith not to march on Pekin On
the contrary the international expedi-
tion will start nbout the mlddo of npxt
week following as closely as possible '
the railroad. Little doubt is felt that
the Chinese government will hold the .
surviving European ministers as a
lever to secure final terms in the final .
settlement but in this they will be dip-
appointed for the powers will exact for J
this violation of International law
even a neavier inuemn'iy man tney
would have demanded if the ministers
mis.
Public Buildings
had been allowed to leave Pekln of
their own volition.
The conflict between the Paris mun-
icipal council and the ministry of M.
"Waldeck-Rousseau Is becoming ser-
ious. President Loubet is now Involved
' as he was obliged to refuse an Invita
tion to attend a series ot jetes in con-
nection with the exhiblt'on about to
be given at the bote Deville because
the ministry was not Invited also. The
protocol decrees that M. Loubet shall
not part'clpate officially unless he is
accompanied by the cabinet. The na-
tionalist counsellors and party are
furious against M. Loubet. despite the
fapt that he is helpless in the matter.
This deadlock between the Paris coun-
cil the cabinet and the Elysoe must
eventually lead to difficulties and in
view of the uncompromising attitude
ofrboth sides it is not easy to forsee
the end.
Pari la still stltuated in a torrid
zone athough heavy storms wh'ch oc-
curred In the north freshened the air
lightly toward the end of the week.
The heat sent the death rate soaring
especially among children. Many sun-
strokes oecured dally and the hospitals
are overcrowded with this class of pa-
tients. One thousand cots were added
to the various hospitals. Horses suf-
fered terribly the street car compan-
ies alone losing 1200 animals. Owing
to the shortage in the water supply the
house service in Paris is cut off be-
tween 11 o'clock at night and C o'clock
In the morning while many res'dents
of the upper storltfs are Inconvenienced
by the Intermittent service during the
day which Is Insufficient to meet the
demand and many restaurants even
are unable to obtain sufficient for their
needs. The hot weather has driven the
(American colony to the seashore and
mountains. Nearly all the national
commissioners to tho exposition and
their families have left Paris for a cou-
plo of months.

LONDON JULY 28. Almost as re-
mnrkablo as tho break down of long
established social customs before the
tropical wave Is the break up of the lib-
eral party. With a general election far
distant the conditions of the liberal party
would bo serious but In view of tho fact
that tho country Is face to face with
dissolution the situation of the opposition
third party Is generally considered al-
most Inevitable as the result of the In-
ternal dissensions now raging In the lib-
eral ranks. The Imperialists hove thrown
off tho mask and demanded control of the
party maintaining that both by numbers
and Influence they are entitled to dictate
Its policy In this they are opposed by
tho "forwards" or antl-lmperlallst liber-
als with a vigor and bitterness that can
only bo compared to the ascorblty with
which tho Gladstonlans assailed tho lib-
eral unions when home rule brought the
parting of tho ways.
Tho climax of the strife has been sim-
mering since the commencement of the
Boer war came Wednesday when one-
third of tho liberal party 'Voted to con-
demn tho colonial secretary Joseph
Chamberlain and all his works. Onc-
thlrd voted with tho government to sus-
tain him while the smallest section of all
Including tho nominal leader abstained
from voting at all.
Four members of tho ways and means
committee of tho United States house of
representatives were In London this week
namely: Chairman Soreno E. Payne
and Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor
of Ohio; G. W. Steele of Indiana" and
John Dalzell of Pennsylvania All of
these gentlemen came In search of recrea-
tion. Among other American notabilities may
be mentioned George Gould of New York
Charles T. Yerkes of Chicago and Arch-
bishop Corrlgan of New oYrk. The latter
in Arapahoe
with Cardinal Waughn was welcomed by
the Duke of Norfolk back to England.
Anticipations of the West-Churchill
wedding have foimed one of the clef top-
ics In society this week. Quite a burn-
ing question Is whether Lady Randolph
will retain that name or be knownas
Mrs. "West. It appears that everywhere
except at court sho may rotaln her pres-
ent name but when presented to tho
Queen It must bo as plain Mrs. West. By
her re-marrlago sho forfeits nono of the
fortune loft by her first husband which
chiefly consists in a life Interest In $S0-
000. This at her death goes to her sons
Winston Spencer Churchill and John
Churchill In such portions as Lady Ran-
dolph ploasos.
I Tn consideration of tho facts that of
tho foreign commerce of China more
I than seventy per cont belongs to Eng-
land that the Chinese tariff Is lower
than that of any other country nnd tho
restriction thereon fewer British mer-
chants have during the prist few decades
maintained relations with China mer-
j chants at ports as harmonious as If both
were members of tho same family. But
' now complications have arisen mutual
distrust has been ongondered and the
situation thus having canged for the
worse It Is felt that if China cannot
bo supported In malntalng her position
i foreign nations looking so large and pop-
ulous a country so rich In natural re-
sources might bo tempted to exploit or
despoil It and perhaps differ among
themselves with respect to their con-
j fllctlng interests. It Is evident that this
will create a state of matters that would
not bo advantageous to Great Britain
a country which views commerce as her
greatest Interest. China is now engaged
In raising men and means to copo with
tho eventualltlos but sho feels that If left
to horself sho might not bo equal to the
occasion should It ever arrive and there-
fore turns to England In the hopo of pro-
curing her good offices In bringing about
a settlement of tho difficulties that have
arisen with tho other treaty powers
Tho omperor makes this frank expos-
ure of what is nearest his heart and
hopes this nppeal to her majosty the
queen empross may be graciously) taken
under consideration and an answer
vouchsafed at tho earliest possible mom-
ent. The papers close "with the edit of June

municated to the foreign office July 13.

He 6aw the
hole in the
sack when he
was filling it.
But it was
such a little
hole that he
thought it
wouldn't mat
ter. Out of
that little hole
he lost his
grain while
taking it to
market.
It's that way
with holes in
the health.
None . are so
small but life
can leak out
of them.
"I've got a Utile touch of indigestion"
says one man. Another says "my
stomach feels a little out of sorts." It
is just such little things which if neg-
lected mean the total loss of health.
The one medicine for disorders and
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It increases
the activity of the whole digestive and
nutritive system clears away obstruc-
tions stops the loss the body sustains by
undigested or partly digested food puri-
fies the blood from the "poisons resulting
from imperfect digestion and increases
the secretions of the blood-making
glands. "Golden Medical Discovery"
has a wonderful record of cures of so-
called "hopeless" cases.
Mr. Thos II. Rudasill of Henry Lincoln Co.
N. C says. "After having suffered from Inaction
of the liver and all the troubles usually attending
such a condition for over twenty years and hav-
ing deluged my system with floods of medicine
from every available source and being only
temporarily benefited thereby I applied to your
Institution for treatment You instructed me to
take a course of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery which I am now doing. Although un-
ati to strictly follow directions I have derived
ltfott. actual benefit from the few bottles I have
ta.ie-i so far than from all the other remedies
togerher.
Allow me to thaut you for your prompt and
courteous attention to my case as well as lor the
good received from it."

White Man Turned Yellow
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexing-
ton Ky. when they caw he was turn-
ing yellow. His skin slowly changed
color also his eyes aDd he Buffered

ait e no was treated by the best doc-
tors but without beneBt. Then he
was advised to try Electric Bitters
the wonder.ful stomach and liver rem-
edy and he writes: "After taking two
bottles I was wholly cured." A trial
proves its matchless merit for all
stomach lver and kidnev troubles
