Ei Hung Chang main reliance to encompass this but he is hampered by the ob- of the Peking officials.' Onr government is willing to render slicit assistance as it properly can, but it niusr be upon the terms already laid down. lr is said here that the one possible means of stopping the forward move ment of the column within the reach of the Chinese government is ail instant compliance with the first demands of the powers, namely, that the ministers he- pur in free communication with their government. It iias been suggested to the authorities that they send an em bassy immediately to Tien Tsin, clothed with full authority to deal with the sit- aaiioii and given unlimited power to afford reparation for injuries inflicted upon the internationals. If this is pre ceded by the release of the ministers from the siege there is a possibility that the powers temporarily will suspend the military movement which may in the end be rendered unnecessary if the em bassy meets the demands of Europe and America. Meanwhile Admiral Remey cables that more marines—those who crossed on the Grant, under Major Biddle, are being sent to Tien Tsin, indicating the intention of the military commanders there to make an early start. The advices from Li Huug Chang, brought to the state department by Min ister Wu, affords the strongest evidence - if the desire of the Chinese government to escape from its present predicament and certainly seem to afford a reasona ble guarantee for the bodily safety of the legationers, pending the outcome of conditions respecting the abandonment of the Peking campaign. PROTECTING FOREIGNERS. Imperial Edict Issued at the Request of Li Hung Chang. Washington', Aug. 1.—The Chinese •minis', r called at the state department at an early hour here and presented Mr. Hay some of the latest correspondence that bats passed between Li Hung Chmg and tim imperial government. The mln- i-r r s dispatches state that on July 19 Li i bmg Chang and several of the n >st iwTenrial viceroys memoralized the < u- P' ror to extend protection to all foreign er- in Peking and elsewhere in China. The reply to this memorial was de layed for some time and the viceroys presented another petition asking that the ministers should either be given safe escort from Peking or that free commu nication should be opened between them and their governments. In reply to this last memorial, the emperor, by imperial edict, ordered all loyal Chinese to pro tect foreigners in the empire. A copy of Li Hung Chang’s petition was presented to Secretary Hay. It was presented by Minister Wu from the Chinese minister in London. “Just received a telegram from Pao Ting Fu, of the sixth moon, twenty- third day (July 18). The privy council had that day received an imperial edict as follows: We have received the memorial of Li Hung 0 hang and others imploring us to save and protect the ministers of the various nations.

Paris, duty 31.—It can be stated on the best authority that the French police are in possession of important facts con cerning the antecedents and associates of Bressi, the murderer of King Hum bert, and that they are in cominunica- fiou with the Italian police on the sub ject. While Italian anarchist leaders who have found refuge in Paris declare publicly that there is no plot behind the assassination, the information in the hands of the police shows the reverse to be true. One of the chiefs of police in an inter view declared that after the Milan troubles of 1898 the Italian political refugees poured into France and that many who suffered terms of hard labor then are now coming out of prison and finding thoir way abroad. These groups of political refugees who would have grievances against Humbert are verita ble hotbeds of intrigue against the Ital ian monarchy. Bressi passed some time in Paris, and lias certainly been brought in contact with the revolutionary Italian party there and went from Paris to several other European capitals. The object of Bressi’s stay in America is declared to have been to collect funds for the anarchist cause among Italian workmen in the United States who have/ more money than their compatriots at hime. ^ In an interview Amilicar Capri- ana, the Italian revolutionary leader, said that he was glad to hear of the king’s death, and considered the killing an admirable act. This statement, from such a source, is of the greatest im portance as showing the act had politi cal significance. KING OF ITALY IS KILLED. Was Entering Was Shot Down as II His Carriage. Monza, Italy, July 30.—King Hum bert has been assassinated. He was shot here at 10:45 o’clock by a man named Angelo Bressi, and died in a few min utes. The king had been attending a distri bution of prizes in connection with a gymnastic competition which took place about 10 o’clock. He had just entered his carriage with his aid-de-camp, amid the cheers of the crowd, when lie was struck by three revolver shots fired in quick succession. One pierced the lieaid of his majesty, who fell back and ex pired in a few minutes. The assassin was immediately ar rested and was with some difficulty saved from the fury of the populace. He gave his name as Angelo Bressi, de scribing himself as of Prato, in Tuscany. Humbert was the eldest son of Victor Emanuel and on the death of his father, in 1878, succeeded to the throne. He was liked by his subjects and was very popular. ANARCHISTS DREW LOTS. Several Persons Were Selected to Kill King Humbert. Rome, July 31.—The assassination of King Humbert is believed to have been the result of a plot. A non-militant an archist recently declared that a meeting had been held in Paris at which lots were drawn and several persons were se lected to bill the king. The papers announce that King Victor Emmanuel III has reached Brindisi and will go directly to Monza. Besides Bressi five persons have been taken into custody at Monza. Members of the Mu;cogee Colony De cide to Wind It Up. Columbus, Ga., July 30. — Unless j something unexpected develops, Com- J inonwealth colony, in this county, will j soon be a thing of the past. Tiie drying | up of the colony, which is an experi-' ment in practical socialism, is proceed ing without any particular incident, but steadily, and by the November term of j the Mutcogee superior court its affairs j will probably have been wound up for 1 good? | Pursuant to the order of the court, Mr. I W. A, Ross, the receiver of the colony, j has been engaged in winding up the af- ! fairs of the enterprise. At a recent meeting of the citizenship of the commonwealth it was decided to have the affairs of the colony wound up, as the then small force on hand was in- j adequate to curry on the work begun by i the full colony. The assets consist of orchards, nurseries, improvements, etc. When it was first inaugurated the Christian Commonwealth promised to be a great success, but it was only a year or two before such serious dissen sions arose among the members as has resulted in the failure of the enterprise. MRS. DICKSON CONFESSES. With Walden She Is Carried to Macon to Prevent a Lynching. Wrightsville, Ga., July 26.--Jerry Walden, committed to jail for the mur der of George Dickson, has made a con fession, as did the wife of the murdered man. When it became known that such was the case it was evident that both would be lynched, and they were carried to Macon for safe keeping. The woman says she kept watch while Walden murdered her husband. While she went to her brother’s Walden washed the blood from his hands and threw the bloody hatchet into the woods, where it was found by her brother, who at once accused the pair of the murder. Walden says she dealt the second blow; that she suggested the murder, got the ai and told him where to hit her hus band. FIRST BALE OF NEW COTTON. It Was Sold at Albany and Brought 11 Cents. Albany, Ga., July 28.—The first bale of the new cotton crop for Georgia has been received in the Albany market. It Maintains His Cynicism. Monza, July 31.—Bressi maintains his cynicism. He declares himself to be a revolutionary anarchist and said he was ready to resume operations if he was released. QUIET IS AGAIN RESTORED. Killing of Charles Has Desired Effect on the Mob. New Orleans, July 28.—Contrary to expectations the night passed with lit tle disorder. The prompt action, of the mayor in distributing squads of men through the city and the fact that Charles is dead seems to have had a good effect in quieting the populace. The negroes are apparently glad that Charles is dead. Mayor Capdevielle, who is worn out by his long struggle, said that he thought it was unlikely that there would be any further violence. Much feeling is expressed against the police board and there is some talk of its removal and a reorganization of the police force. With the death of the negro Charles the situation here has been vastly im proved and there has been no occasion to send the militia to an}’ scene of dis turbance. The troops are being kept in their armories, but Mayor Capdevielle has stationed men in every quarter of the city iu order that he may be quickly advised of any further trouble. Arraugements are being made for the funeral of the victims of yesterday’s tragedy and details of police will be sent to accompany each in order that no disturbances may attend them. Whatever doubt there may have been as to the identity of the negro Charles has been removed. At 4 o’clock when the mobs had dispersed the police went to the parish prison and got Leonard Pierson, Charles’ pal, on the evening that Mora was wounded, and carried him to the morgue. Pierson, without any hesitancy, declared that the dead man was the desperado. Coroner Richard held a post mortem examination on the body of Charles. He found that the negro had been shot 48 times, besides ^having been badly beaten. Several men have claimed the credit of having killed Charles. Men who were present at the time that Charles was at tempting to make his escape from the burning building said that Private An derson and Dr. O. A. Noiret, a young medical student, had done the actual killing. Charles’ Seventh Victim. New Orleans, July 31. — H. H. Botte, aged 65, an insurance solicitor, who was shot by the negro Charles, in the attack on Saratoga street on Friday, is dead. This makes seven men Charles killed, all white. Population of Cincinnati. Washington, July 31.—The census office has made public the population of the city of Cincinnati.

CHAFFEE American, British and Japa nese Troops to Strike the Chinese Capital. 30,000 MEN AVAILABLE Will Make a Direct Advance on the imperial City—Will Establish an Ad vance Base and Assemble Supplies 30 Miles From Tien Tsin—Positions of the Chinese Troops Unknown. Shanghai, Aug. 1.—The allies have begun the advance from Tien Tsin. It is assumed that the American, British and Japanese are taking part in this for ward movement, whether other nation alities or not. An advance base will probably be established 20 or 30 miles nearer Peking and supplies will be as sembled preparatory to a direct stroke at the capital. Of the 60,000 allies debarked at Pe Chi Li ports, English military observ ers consider that 30,000 ai - e available for an advance beyond Tien Tsin. The Chinese forces, according to the vague gatherings of the allies’ intelligence offi cers, up to July 27, were disposed in a great arc 30 miles long and distant 10 or 15 miles. The numbers and exact loca tion of the several divisions are utterly j unknown. The Pei Ho river is blockaded by sunken stone laden junks for 20 miles beyond Tien Tsin, and further up. according to Chinese spies of the allies, a dam has been constructed for the pur pose of flooding the low lyiug expanse of country. First Probable Engagement. The first engagement of the relief ex pedition will probably be at Pei Tang, where the viceroy of Yulu personally commands. The following information was brought to Tien Tsin Wednesday, July 25, by a Chinese missionary student-who was sent to the British legation at Pe- l;— xi„ unable to deliver the maud of the Shanghai defenses. The United States consul general, Air. Good- now, and the French consul general, M. DeBezaure, on behalf of the consuls, visited Admiral Seymour and he prom ised to di'aw up plans aud submit them to a council of officers. The Shanghai municipal council objects to the consu lar action. The British Second infantry brigade has been ordered to deb.irk at Hong- Kong to form a flying column to go any where in China. Two more transports with Indian troops on lx ird are dne to arrive. The customs officers at Oauton have seized a Chinese junk which had 2,000 rifles and much ammunition aboard.

The negro states that just as he and Hamilton reached the edge of town on the public highway, the wind blew off his hat and while he stooped to pick it up, he heard a gunshot and on look ing up he saw Hamilton limping away a few steps and fall. He gave the alarm, and Hamilton was removed to his home, where he died. It is thought by some that the murder was done from a spirit of revenge by one of the strikers, aud by others that it was from a private quarrel. Hamilton could give no explanation whatever.
