Chaffee Wn* Advised of Earl Li’* Request and Instructed a* to Hi* Course— Attack* on Legation* in Pekin Must Cense Before the- Ad vunee £>oe. Washington, Aug. 16.—At the close of b day of intense anxiety, the Department of State to-night made public the latest cor respondence between the United States government and China, constituting not only a remarkable series of state papers, but at the same time dispelling all doubt end uncertainty as to the American pol icy in the present critical juncture. The urgent, almost pathetic appeal of Li Hung Chang, submitted early in the day, that the victorious march of the al lies stop at Tung Chow, and that the military commanders on the field be en trusted to arrange an armistice at that point, was met with a response that Gen. j Chaffee already had been given complete Inst ructions empowering him to carry out i an arrangement in concert with other j commanders for the delivery of the min ivers and other persons under their pro te tion to the relief column, not at Tung j Chow as has been suggested, but at the Imperial city of Pekin. Furthermore, it was made known to China that Gen. Chaffee's instructions left him free rein as to whether he should insist upon entering Pekin and going to the legations or should receive the de livery of the legationers at the gate of the inner Tartar city or at the great outer wall. In short, China through heT peace envoy, besought a halt and an arm istice at Tung Chow, tweive miles from Pkin, whereas, the response of the American governent is that if there is to be a halt—an armistice—it must be at the walls of the imperial city. The conclusions of the government were announced after an extended cabi net meeting and were embodied in the following official statement: Cabinet Gathered. The appeal cf China and the prompt re sponse of the American government were the subject of supreme interest through out the day. Coming at a moment when the allic-d armies were in the shadow of tiie great walls of Pekin, the circum stances in which the correspondence oc curred were of a peculiarly momentous character. Tne President had just re turned from u brief resphe at CllO.l, and going to the White House, found his advisers ready to present to him the issue row advanced in China. The appeal fr *n Li Hung Chang came lirst to the Chine*-3 minister, who, early in the day, conveyed ii io the Department of State. Although it w.is not the regular day for a meeting of the cabinet, word was conveyed to those cabinet officers in the city that o special session would be held at ll o'clock. Secretary Root, who has been a guiding factor in the Chinese negotiations, was | with the President before the meeting . opened, presenting the Chinese communi- i cations and the dispatches of instructions already sent to Gc.n. Chaffee. With the President at the cabinet table were Sec retaries Hoot ,Gage, Wilson and Postmas ter General Smith. The conclusions reach el can be stated best by reference to the 6uccinct responses of the United States government set forth in the official an nouncement. After the cabinet meeting the American reply was sent to the Chinese minister, who later in the day cabled it to LI Hung ('hang. Thus the issue was framed, final ly and unalterably. The United States j declined even to consider the proposition of Li Hung Chang for a halt and an arm istice at Tung Chow. Even the supreme : appeal of the venerable Chines© states- ; man that the Chinese empire would be . shaken by an advance of the allies beyond | Tung Chow was not heeded. The answer j of the United States is that our position is the same now as it has been from th ■ outset, namely, that the ministers must be delivered at the walls of Pekin and in such circumstances as will meet the Judg ment of the military commanders on the spot. In Touch With CongiT. The latest dispatch from Minister Con ger was scanned with eager interest, hut it brought little information beyond that already in hand. In one respect, how ever, it gave the government strong en couragement, as it was almost, a cate gorical answer to the State Department. Thi® was the first definite knowledge that we were In direct touch with our minister, for all of his dispatches up to uylay, had conveyed information without reference to the repeated inquiries of the government. The two dispatches to Gen. Chaffee, Pent on the 12th and 14th Inst., were sent also in duplicate to Minister Conger, so that he is well advised by this time of the movement of the troops and of Gen. Chaf fer’s authority to negotiate at the walls of Pekin. Whether the allied forces actually were ai Pekin was the all-absorhlng question on which every one In official and in uno fficial life awaited word with keen anx iety. Secretary Root was satisfied that Tung Chow had been left behind, and this w is one of the reasons why it was regard ed as futile to consider U Hung Chang’s proposition for an armistice at Tung Chow. A dispatch was sent to Gen. Chaffee, Hut its contents were not mode public. Although the officials regarded it as un important, it doub" lees mode the American commander aware of the fact that there no deviation in the American atti tude. a dlspatcn was also sent to Min- Conger, advisory in character, giv- Jfoitoitnnal) Morning ins him the benefit of the latest develop ments. Earl Ll’* Appeal. "A cablegram from Earl Li Hung Chang, envoy plenipotentiary of China, dated August 15, and received by Minis ter Wu at 7 p. m. on the same day, states: “The allied forces are appr-aching Tung Chow\ I have memorialized the Imperial government to depute envoy to negoi3ti an armistice with the several commanders on the spot. I will also shortly proceed to Pekin. “The Powers being fully aware of the embarrassing position in which their ma jesties and Empress Dowager and the Em peror are placed, are earnestly requested to telegraph instructions to their respect ive commanders after arriving at Tung Chow w r ith their forces to stop their fur ther advance to the capital, so as not to cause alarm and fear to their majesties and calamities to the people. For such advance would shake the foundations of the Ta Ching empire and wound the feel ings of all her people, high and low. For a compliance with this appeal the millions of people of the empire will be profoundly grateful to the Powers. Please communi cate this cablegram at once to the Secre tary of State.' The following memorandum in reply was handed to Minister Wu this afternoon: Instruction* to Chaffee. ‘Memorandum. Foreseeing that there would be insufficient time after receiving a reply to our memorandum of Aug. 12 to get instructions to the relief column before it had reached Pekin, we sent on the same day to the general commanding the American forces* in China the follow ing dispatch: “Adjutant General's Office. Washington, Aug. 12, 1900.—T0 Fowler, Che Foo. For Chaffee: August twelve. Secretary of War directs me to inform you that Li Hung Chang, appointed by Chinese gov ernment to negotiate with Powers, re quests cessation of hostilities. We have replied that we are ready to enter into an agreement between Powers and Chinese government for cessation of hostilities on condition that sufficient body of the forces composing the relief expedition shall be permitted to enter Pekin unmolested and to escort foreign ministers and residents back to Tien Tsin, the movement being provided for and secured by such arrange ments and dispositions of troops as shall be considered satisfactory by generals commanding the forces composing relief expedition. We have communicated this to all the Powers. Japanese government takes same position. We have not heard from other Powers. Corbin.” “ And two days ago, in view of the rapid progress of the relief expedition, we sent the following: “Adjutant General's Office. Washington, Aug. 14.—T0 Fowler, Chee Foo. for Chaf fee: August fourteenth. In anticipation of acceptance by Chinese government of condition in our reply to them cabled you Aug. 12. If Chines eauthorities communi- cate willingness to deliver ministers and persons under their protection to relief column at Pekin, under arrangements which you consider safe, you are author ized to make and carry out arrangement in concert with other commanders with out referring it here. From communica tion with representatives of other govern ments here we believe all to take substan tially the same position.

(signed) “Corbin.” “We are advised by Minister Conger that the attacks by imperial troops upon the legations in Pekin have not ceased. While these attacks continue we cannot stop the advance of our forces toward Pekin. If such attacks cease, the above quoted instructions will be allowed to stand, and they would seem to provide for all the action required under the cir cumstances stated by Earl Li in his dis patch.

Protecting Conger and the Ret. Washington, Aug. 16. —lt Is the belief of the President and the members of the cabinet, who have watched with great anxiety every step of the progress of the allied troops towards Pekin, that the min isters are now safe in the hands of the rescuing party. The President returned to Washington this morning, and of a number of com munications which greeted him, perhaps the most interesting was one from the Japanese minister, which confirmed the reports that Gen. Chaffee and the other commanders had met little, if any, oppo sition at Tung Chow, and that they were on the outskirts of Pekin. That was two days ago. and it is fair to presume that since then every step has been favorable to the rescue of the legation forces, whose marvelous experience has added to anew chapter to international history. It developed to-day that on Aug. 14. In structions were sent Gen. Chaffee, giv ing him full power to perfect arrange ment for the rescue of the imprisoned dip lomat and those under their chailge, without asking for further advice from here. A copy of these instructions to Chaffee was made public late this after noon by the state department. At 9 o'clock this morning Mr. Wu Ting Fang, Ihe Chinese minister, presented to Acting Secretary Adee, a copy of a ca blegram which he had received during the night from IA Hung Chang. This cablegram was an almost beseeching ap peal to this government to telegraph in structions to Gen. Chaffee after arriv ing at Tung Chow to stop his further advance to the capital. This advance, Earl Li pointed oul, would shake the foundations of the Chinese Empire, and wound the feelings of all of the Chinese people, high and low. In the- name of the millions of people of the empire, he asked that thla advance be stopped in (Continued on Fifth Page.) SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, IbOO.

London, Aug. 17, 3:45 a. m.— A cable gram to Vienna from Hong Kong an nounces the capture of Pekin, but the Austrian government, like other Europ ean powers, is still without confirmation of this report. An official telegram, dated Taku, Aug. 14, has been received at Rome, which as serts that the attack on Pekin began on Monday; that Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, has open communication with the relieving force and that the al lies have established heir headquarters at Tung Chau. Chinese officials in Shanghai are re porred as admitting that the allies in flicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese imperial troops near Tung Chau Sunday and then marched direct on Pekin. This, if true, carries the Japanese official ad vices announcing the capture of Tung Chau one step further. The Wetsern Powers, according to a dis patch from the Daily Express from Kobe, have accepted the proposals formulated by Japan for arranging an armistice, de pendent upon the immediate delivery of the foreigner legations to the allies or the granting of permission to the allied troops to enter Pekin and guard the legations. Upon these bases, the correspondent says, Japan has already began to negotiate. Shanghai dkpatches declare that the Chinese had intended to make a final at tack upon the legations last Sunday, but whether the plan was carried out is not known. London, Aug. 17, 4 a. m.—The concen sus of opinion expressed by the morning papers tends to the belief that the lega tions are now safe with the allies.

The Chinese succeeded In breaking up the flank movement, and they fought with great stubbornness; but eventually they were compelled by a fierce Cossack attack on their center to evacuate the position and withdraw the guns.

Indianapolis, Ind.. Aug. 16.—The Liberty Congress of the American League of Anti- Imperialists to-day emphatically endorsed the candidacy of William J. Bryan for the presidency. The resolutions to that effect were read to the convention by Col. Charles R. Codmnn. of Massachusetts, who moved their adoption after stilting that the entire committee of twenty-five had endorsed them. The convention, however, did not adopt the platform as submitted by the reso lutions committee without a prolonged and heated debate. Thomas M. Osborne, of Auburn, N. Y.. leader of the "third ticket movement,” offered an amendment to strike the endorsement of Bryan, and his amendment was vigorously support oil by several delegates, but when the pre vious question was ordered, less than a score could be marshalled to vote against the Bryan endorsement. The vote wap viva voce and its exact result will never be known, but the sen timent of the convention was clearly shown as being in favor of the endorse ment of Bryan as the most effective man ner of checking the alleged Imperialistic policy of the administration. Th© most vigorous opponents of the Bryan pronouncement in th platform j wore conspicuous members in the “Na tional.” or “Third Par y convention, who were also admitted as delegate* to this anti-impi ria'ist e ngn ss.

Senator Ingalls’ Illness dated from March, 1899, when at Washington his throat began troubling him. He worked steadily writing political articles for newspapers throughout the country. He was treated by several si>ecialists, but re ceived no relief, and on their advice, re turned with his family to Atchison. At home lie grew no better. Ten months ago he sought another change of climate, traveling through New Mexico. John James In tails, stab e-man and au ihor, was born in the town of Mid Ueton, Emx county.

His father was a na tive of M.ddkton and n to.l for many in vent lo; a which revolutionised tin manu facture of shoes; his mo her was a daugh ter of Samuel ('has© of Portsmouth, Nil. He received his preparatory training by private inet rue ion and in the schools of Havcrbil. and entering Williams Colic.e, was graduated in 1855. Ho then begin the s udy of law, beieg admitted to the bar in 1*57, and in the following year re moved to Atchison, Kan. There he ran il ly attaiii- and professional success and by re s n of his strong personality and vig o.'o.is me hods soon l e arne pionment in po it!cs. He was In 1859 a delegate to the j Wyandotte convention which framed the I fir t s ate constitution *>f Kansas. In IHt'O j he served as recretary of th * territo.lal I council; in 18 1 as secietary of the state j aerate and in 1862 as state sera tor. In thi j latter year he was the Republican candi -1 1 ate for lieutenant governor, hut was de ■ frated with his entire ticket. He was the j editor of the Atch son Champion for three j yea is and during 18K3-65 was ju Ige advo j ci e of the ® ate mill to w th the rank cf major and lieutenant colonel, doing staff ! du y on the frontier.

Few senators have taken stronger hold on popular attention, and from his fir*t entrance into national politic* he was a picturesque figure and a positive influ ence. A pioneer upon advunced lines 'if thought, gifted with a vivid nnd powerful eloquence, a master of satire and Invect ive, able to illumine every them© with stores of know'edgeand experience, he has c\er been th© fearless champion of every cause h ehas espoused. The Senate cham ber was always filled to overflowing when ever it was known that lie was to speak, and the charm of his well conceived utter ances teemed to attract his hearers. No better example of his self-reliant courage could be mentioned than his fearless o|>- position, against party pressure, to the "cloture resolution” of 1890, which in his judgment dangerously Invaded the priv ileges of the Senate and violated the fun damental principles of constitutional gov ernment. From 18X9 to 1891 he was presi dent pro tem. of the Senate, in which jki sitlon he proved himself h past master *n parliamentary procedure. After his retirement Senator Ingalls de voted himself to Journalism, literature and fanning. Articles from his pen were fre quently seen in the daily papers as well as in high-class magazines. He was mar ried at Atchison, Kan.. In 1865, to Anna Louise Che*borough of New York city. They had eleven children, four sons and seven daughters. AND IN ( lilt %<iO, TOO.
