AUTHENTICITY NOT DOUBTED riessage Came to Chinese flinis ter Wu In Answer to Inquiry Sent Some Days Ago. A Washington special says: United States Minister Conger is alive in Pe kin. An official cipher cable dispatch has been received from him through the Chinese minister, Wn Ting Fang. Minister Conger cables from the Brit ish legation in Pekin. He says he is under continued shot and shell from Chinese troops and that quick relief only can prevent a general massacre. Minister Conger’s official despatch, as translated and given out by the state department is as follows: “In British Legation, Pekin.— Hay, Washington, care Wu Ting Fang; Under continued shot and shell from Chinese troops. Quick relief only can prevent general massacre. Conger." The cablegram was received by Wn Ting Faug at 8:30 o’clock Friday morning. It was in the state depart ment cipher and was transmitted through the tstiug li vamen and the Shanghai taoti. Immediately upon receipt of the message, Minister Wn hastened to the state department with it,where Secretary Hay caused it to be deciphered at once. The receipt of the cable has thrown Washington into a state of great ex citement and rejoicing. Shortly after the minister’s message had been de ciphered the following official state ment was made by Secretary Hay at the state department: “On the lltli of this month the state department communicated a brief mes sage asking tidings of Minister Conger in the state department code. Mr. Wu undertook to get this into Minis ter Conger’s hands if he were alive. He has succeeded in doing this. “This reply was in the state depart ment cipher, and it is regarded as genuine, inasmuch as forgeries seem under such circumstances impossi ble.” In reply to a question Adjutant Gen eral Corbin said it was impossible now to say what effect the receipt of Mr. Conger’s dispatch would have on mil itary operations in China or on our preparations here. He said he did not know but that increased military haste might precipitate matters in China. Within an hour the welcome intel ligence that Conger had been heard from, a4ter weeks of silence and evil report, was flashed through the whole country, and, indeed, throughout the world, dispelling the gloom which had prevailed everywhere and bringing to the officials and to the public gener ally a sense of profound relief. First of all, from the standpoint of the administration officials, the most welcome feature of the message was its assurance that the American minister himself was alive on July 18th. But with the cheering news came the ominous statement of Minis ter Conger that the beseiged foreign ers were in the British legation under continued shot and shell from Chinese troops, and that only quick relief could avert a general massacre. After the first flush of thankfulness, this graver feature of the message be gan to impress itself upon cabinet officials most deeply. As one of them remarked: “There are the poor creatures penned up under fire of shot and shell, and appealing to us for help.” The consultation brought about no pronounced change of policy, for it was felt that already every euergy had been spent toward meeting the situa tion, and that there was absolutely nothing more that could be done. Af ter all, the cabinet officials felt, and so stated, that the message was an evi dence of friendliness and good faith of the pro-foreign element of the Chiuese, and that wisdom dictated a course which would continue to utilize this friendship. OFFIGKBS ELECTED By the Southern Imlimlrlal Lrague For the Knaulixc Year. The Southern Industrial leaguers, in session at Atlanta, Ga., Fridav, elected D. A. Tompkins, of Chartotte, N. C. t president of their organization, to succeed J. K. Orr, of Atlanta, whose term expired. Vice presidents electod to serve with Mr. Tompkins are: C. W. Ashcraft, Florence. Ala. A. H. West, Madison, Fla. P. K. McCully, Anderson, S. C. W. J. Kincaid, Griffin, Ga. George Winston, Raleigh, N. C. H. H. Hargrove, Shreveport, La. E. H. Dial, Meridian, Miss. F. C. Collier, Dallas, Texas. The government accepted the mes sage as authentic and Secretary Hay transmitted it to all our ambassadors and ministers abroad, with instruc tions to lay it before the respective governments to which they are ac credited, and to urge upon them the necessity of co-operation for immedi ate relief of the foreigners at Pekin. A message was sent by Secretary Long to Admiral Remey, conveying the in telligence of the desperate situation in Pekin and instructing him to “use and urge every possible endeavor for relief.” The message, Secretary Long ex plained, meant for Admiral Remey to himself “use” and to “urge” upon the commanding officers of the other pow ers the use of every endeavor for the relief of Pekin. Secretarv Root sent a similar notification to Colonel Coolidge, the senior American officer ashore, at Tien Tsin, but without in junction. This action was the result of the conference of Secretaries Hay, Long and Root. It was realized that the land and naval forces now in China could not single-handed push on to Pekin, and the other powers accordingly were appealed to, on the base of Minister Conger’s message, to co-operate for in stant relief. Secretary Hay explains his reasons for placing reliance in the authenticity of Minister Conger’s dis patch, saying that it was a complete reply in code to the code message sent to him, and that its authenticity was vouched for by the tsung li yamen. “Of course” said Secretary Hay, smiling, “I am not omniscient and may be fooled, but I cannot see how the authenticity of Minister Conger’s cable can be questioned.” BECKHAM NOMINATED For Governor By Democrats of Kentucky—Strong Platform Is Adopted, Governor Beckham was nominated by the Democratic state convention of Kentucky, at Lexington, by acclama tion at 3:05 o’clock Friday morning, and the convention adjourned within thirty minutes thereafter. After the navies of Judge Black, of Bnrbourville, and Judge Tarvin, of Newport, were placed iu nomination a roll call of the convention was be gan. When LcLean county was reach ed Beckham had .the 547 votes neces sary to nominate. Then Black and Tarviu’s names were withdrawn and the latter at once moved that the nomi nation of Beckham be made unani mous. The motion carried and Beck ham was escorted to the platform, where he made a speech of acceptance. It was 2 a. m. when Senator Black burn presented a report from the committee on resolutions. The re port as adopted was in part as fol lows: “We heartily indorse the magnifi cent platform adopted by the national Democratic convention at Kansas City July 5, 1900, and also the splendid ticket named by said convention and pledge the Democracy of Kentucky to an earnest, cordial and active support of said ticket. “The Democratic jiarty recommends that the election law of 1898, known as the Goebel law, be so amended that the most hypercritical can find no ex cuse for charging fraud or unfairness to our party in the conduct of the election. “The mob and the assassin shall not be the arbitrators of the citizens of Kentucky, nor shall the penalty of an appeal to the law’ and the regular constituted authorities be death at the hands of assassins.” Sincerest grief is expressed over the death of Governor William Goebel. Every sincere lover of civil and per sonal liberty is iuvited to join in a campaign against the forces gathered under the banner of “A Government by Assassination.” In coucrusion the administration of Governor J. C. W. Beckham was 'itrongly indorsed. LI HUNG AT HONG KONG. Chinese Viceroy Welcomed By English Officials and Receives SaHifee. Li Hung Chang and his suite ar rived at Hong Kong Thursday evening.

A Washington speoial says: Natural iy after the importance of the commu nication from Mr. Conger, the first impulse was to make sure of its au thority. Secretaries Hay and Long felt no doubt that the message convey ed internal evidence of authenticity. Supposing that the Chinese govern ment had obtained possession of the state department’s code it could not be conceived to what purpose it would serve to represent the urgency of pushing relief forces towards Pekin. If the imperial government is making war on the internationals it would surely not forward an effort to get foreign troops into its own capital. A rousing campaign year is upon 11s.
