U. S. WILL NOT INTERFERE. Japan Will Make No Opposition lo the Proposed Landing - Russia's Action in Regard to Its Minister io Pekln a Ores! Surprise. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. f Washington, August ll.-It is stated officially to-night that this gov ernment will piy no attention what ever to the latest appeal from China transmitted in the form of a memorial from the Southern viceroys, begging the United States to use its influence against the landing of, British troops in the Yangtse valley. This memorial was transmitted to the State Depart ment this morning- by the Chinese Minister Wu. It urged upon this gov ernment the serious consequences that would follow the landing of a British force at Shanghai and represented that the preparations already had induced a panic among the resident Chinese and would paralyze commercial ac tivity in that part of the empire almost as much as a formal declaration of war by Great Britain. This government decided, however, that not only would it be entirely out of its province to in terfere with the British programme in China, which was being carried for ward by Admiral Seymour on the ground with the full knowledge of local conditions, but in view of China's iresent recalcitrant attitude and the ack, up to date, of an acknowledge ment of our latest demand con cerning the safety of our minis ter, the United States was not in clined to shoulder any office in the troubles with Oreat Britain or any of the other powers. Conse quently, the appeal of the viceroys will be ignored. It is possible that the communication fr jm Minister Wu may be turned over to the British gov ernment for its information, on the general friendly principle that has been adopted by the powers of keeping each other informed of the various developments in the situation. Even (his ctn hnwpvpr has nnt been de cided on yet, and will be left to the judgment of the President No Opposition by Japan. Tn enrnioptinn with thn Ttrnnosfid landing of Admiral Seymour's force, it may be said that the report of Ja- non'a finnositinn tn this mnvft is with out arm nflfiial rnnf! rmatinn here. The Japanese minister, in general con' yersation, when the subject was nrst broached, said that he had no infor mation of any protest having been en tered by Japan. What developments snhsAmiAnt events micrht hrinc it was , -- --'O 1 -1 1 . . T i 1 impossiDie ior mm io say. ii may ue said, however, aside from Minister Taknhira's statement, that .Tnnnn has up to date displayed ' no jealousy of Great Britain in the Chinese campaign. Japan herself, it has been announced semi-officiallv. has no colonial ambi tions. Incidentally it may be said that the cordial relations between Japan and the United States, aside from her parti cipation in the British and American advance on Feitsang, has been shown in her reply to the State Department's advices concerning our last note to China. This note was transmitted for information to Japan as well as the other powers interested and the Japanese government promptly acknowledged its receipt and indi cated its friendly approval of the stand taken by the United States. While -this acknowledgement was a mere official courtesy. Japan is the ouly one of the powers so far to give formal expression of its concurrence in the action of the United States. Surprise at Russia's Action. The action of the Russian govern ment in authorizing M. de Giers to start from Pekin for Tien Tein under escort, cause no little concern and much surprise in official circles here. as diameticallv onnosed to the course of the other governments, although there is no disposition to question the faith which has inspired it. The of ficials say its only enect is to leave M. de Giers to act independently and upon his own discretion. If he de termines to leave Pekin with a Chinese guard and succeeds in getting through to Tien Thin, it at least will be demon strated that this course is less hazard ous than has been supposed. The pos ition of the United States is unchanged, lowbtw, m uecuning fro enieriam ine idea of allowing Minister Conger to leave under Chinese escort. The official information from the seat of war made public by this govern ment to day was a dispatch from Con sul McWade at Canton, communicat ing an additional message vfom Min ister Conger to the State Department, and a very brief dispatch from Ad miral Kemey repeating some informa tion from General Chaffee on the oper ations at Yang Tsun. The Laet from Conger. Washington, August 11. The fol lowing dispatch from Minister Conger was made public this the morning by State Department. "Canton, August U, 1900.- Secretary of State, Washington. Conger, date August 10, Tsi Nan, answering my message, says that the legations are under seige by the imperial soldiery. The situation is desperate. The loss of the legations is sixty killed and about 100 wounded. There is sick ness, nevertheless the general health continues good. He concludes, what ever may be the outcome we' will hold on indefinitely. "Mo Wade." It is believed that the date assigned this dispatch consul refers to the file date when the message left Tsi Nan and does not fix the time when it left Pekin. - Uncertainty As to Date. In the opinion of the State Depart ment the value of the Conger message is considerably reduced by the uncer tainty as td its date. . The date of Au gust 10th, at Tsi Nan, certainly indi cates that the dispatch of the message from Pekin could not have been less than three or four days earlier. Tsi Nan is a large town on the Shanghai road, about 225 miles south of Pekin. It certainly would have had to travel by courier all the way to Shanghai, and have been re transmitted from that , point to have reached McWade at Canton. The information it contains is identical with the State department's message of August 6th, and the only cheering feature is his plucky concluding- sen tence: y "Whatever may be the outcome, we will hold on indefinitely." C Admiral Bemey's dispatch is as fol lows: y Chaffee Reports Losses. Washington, August 11. The fol lowing cablegram has been received at the Navy Department from Admi ral Kemey j gust 7. Chaffee telegraphs froto the front: un ine six m. laog xsun oc cupied. Casualties about sixty In m command; two marines wounu Many prostrated by heat and fatigue. Next move unknown. General com manding English at front telegraphs: "March from Pei Tsang nine miles toward Yang Tsun when formed from, (for) attack with the Americans on the right, Russians on the left. After a rapid advance of three miles under hot rifle and shell fire; our troops car ried the first linevof defence. Casual ties about fifty killed or died from sun stroke. 8igned - "Remey." . The chief interest in the Chaffee dis patch is the indication that the American command was in the thick of the fight at the capture of the im portant town of Yang Tsun, but the reference to deaths from sunstroke in dicates that the international forces are undergoing terrible privations from the tropical weather along the Pei river. The Russian Minister at Pekio. St. Petersburg, August 11. The Official Messenger to-day publishes the following: , "The Foreign Office received a tele gram to-day direct from M. de Giers, the Russian minister at the Chinese capital, from Pekin. The dispatch was evidently taken by special courier to Tsi Nan, from the capital of Than Tung, and was thence telegraphed Au gust 7 by the local yamen. M. de Giers announced that the seige of the legation continues, the besieged still having some provisions left. The Chi nese government proposes to transmit the ministers' messages and that they leave Pekin. As the ministers had not sufficient guarantee they replied that they must receive the permission of their governments before leaving the city." - The Messenger then announces that the Czar's approval has been given for M. de Giers to start for Tien Tsi a with his entire staff and the marine guard, on condition that the existing govern ment at Pekin and the Emperor afford them sure guarantee that the journey can be undertaken without danger. At the same time M. de Giers is in structed to call attention to the heavy responsibility the Chinese government will incur should there be the slight est infraction of the .inviolability of the persons accompanying him to Tien Tsin. Ureat Britain's Explanation. London, August 11. A special dis patch from Shanghai, dated Friday, August 10, says the British 'consul gen eral, replying to protests of Chinese merchants against the landing of troops, explains that this is merely a precautionary measure due to the fact that the disturbances north are spread ing and coming daily nearer to Shang hai. He also says Kiang Su is already in a state of revolt and that at Ta Tung there has been serious rioting, the telegraph station being burned. "OUR PACIFIC POSSESSIONS." Gen. Joe Wheeler's Address at the Uni versity of Chicago A Strong; Plea for a Standing Army. Br Telegraph to the Hornine star. Chicago, August 11. Gen. Joseph Wheelermade a strong plea for the standing army in his convocation ad dress at the University of Chicago yes terday. Be declared that the only security for peace was to be always prepared for war. At the close of the address, General Wheeler was cheered by the students, many of whom are from the Southern States; and when the University band struck up "Dixie," the enthusiasm reached a high pitch. General Wheeler s topic was Our Pacific Possessions." He briefly traced the historv and development of the islands recently acquired by the United States and gave the results of his own observation as to the resources and possibilities of our new dependencies. He said the destiny of the human race was to be guided in the future largely by the government of the United States. "I was glad to learn," said General Wheeler, "that there are gentlemen here studying with a view of perma nently exercising their profession as' teachers in the islands of the Pacific. "They will find there bright, anx ious pupils. There is much in the peo -pie of the Pacific islands to be com mended. "My observations among these peo ple and those of China forcibly im pressed upon me the importance in all institutions of learninglof a full measure of effort for installing a spirit of chiv airy and patriotic devotion. It was to keep that spirit fresh and strong that Alabama enacted the law that the national flag should float over everv school house in the 8tate. "The enjoyment of peace is a blessed boon to humanity, but the historv of the world from its earliest periods teaches that the only security for peace is to be always prepared and ready to engage in war. That nation whose people are ready to respond to a call to arms with men and resources for any emergency is the one that shall most certainly be able to avoid the desola tion and horrors of war. It matters little how great its wealth, its excel lence in literature and science and art a nation unprepared and indisposed to battle in its defence forfeits the re spect of the world. "We are now a great world Dower. the destiny of the human race is in the future to be largely guided by the in- nuence exerted by this government. This should be impressed upon the ris ing generation, and the memory of the flag of our vcountry floating over the school house, and songs breathing patriotic devotion within its walls, should be indelibly connected with the nrst impressions of the youth of our land." A NEW LIQHTSHIP To Be Placed on the Shoals Off Cape flattens. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Norfolk, Va., August 11. Notice has been given that on or about Sep tember first, light vessel No. 69 will be placed on Diamond Shoal station, about six and three quarters miles east southeast from the easterly point of the outer Diamond shoal and about fifteen miles southwest from Cape Hatterast lighthouse, and light vessel No. 71, now marking that station, will be withdrawn. Light vessel No. 69 will show lights and sound a fog signal having the same characteris tics as that of the latter" vessel, and her general appearance will be the same as No. 71. .

GERMAN VIEW OF THE SITUATION IN CHINA, No Advance Upon Pekln With Present It j I Forces Opposition to the Apparent Designs of Great Britain. Special Berlin Letter, Copyrighted 1900 by the Associated Press. 1 Berlin, August 11. The belief still prevails here that the allied forces have not undertaken the Pekin ad vance, and that the recent actions at Peitsang and Yang Tsun. were solely mf ant to secure the strategic tenure of Tien Tsin against the Chinese troops sent from Pekin or from the south, as Yang Tsun dominates both' railroad and river communication. The mili tary authorities here also maintain that an advance upon Pekin with the pres ent forces, and lacking an officer in chief command, would be equivalent to failure and enormous losses. The Foreign Office wholly distrusts the re liability of the news that Li Hung Chang has been empowered to nego tiate for peace, and the German press coincides in that view. The news received here that the United States is satisfied with the ap pointment of Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee to the chief command of the allied forces has created deep satis faction, as, for a time, it was feared the United States might with Great Britain object, thus frustrating military har mony. - The news cabled here that the United States is now desirous of bring ing about a clear diplomatic under standing regarding the intended extent of the expedition is received by the Foreign Office favorably, since the aims of the United States, viz., the re establishment of order, the awarding of damages to Americans for injury, and guarantees against recurrence of similar events, tally precisely, so the Foreign Office declares, with the German programme. It is here sur mised, however, that such diplomatic negotiations will not meet the appro bation of Great Britain and Russia, whose enormous sacrifices in men and money owing to the Chinese troubles seem indeed worth some equivalents. Regarding Great Britain's apparent de signs upon the Yangtse Valley, par ticularly Shanghai, Germany will not allow their realization, and in this France supports Germany and, ft is hoped here, the United States will also do so, since such action contravenes the open-door policy. Germany, be fore long, will have a good sized force ' in Shanghai to check mate single-handed the British schemes there. The correspondent of the Associated Press hears that a brig ade of five thousand men is now mov ing and will proceed to Shanghai for that purpose and to protect German commercial interests in the Yangtse valley, notably at Shanghai and Hanjoi. The German press comment anent the present situation is varied. The Ldkal Anzeiger deems it probable that Field Marshal Von Waldersee will not be bedded in roses in China, owing partly to the manifest lack of harmony among the powers, even at this early stage, and it believes before long quar rels will arise between Russia and Ja pan, France and Great Britain, and the United States and Germany. It points out that the main differences between the powers are "not of a mili tary, but a commercial character." DECIDED TO REJECT. All Bids for Armor Plate Turned Down by the Navy Department Another Chance for the Bidders. By Telegraph to the Horning 8 tar. Washington, August 11. The Navy Department this afternoon de cided to reject all bids for armor7 plate presented to the department yesterday. It is stated at the department that this does not mean that the alternative plan of erecting a government armor plate factory will be adopted, although the Secretary of the Navy has at his disposal $4,000,000 with which to start such a plant in case satisfactory terms cannot be made with private manufac turers. It iB stated to day that new advertisements will be issued as speed ily as possible and the contractors will be given another chance to put their bids in such shape as will be accept able to the government. The reason assigned for the rejec tion of bids is the demand from all the bidders for too large a proportion of the entire amount of armor plate. The lowest bidder, the Mid vale Steel Com pany, was not satisfied to accept less than 20,000 tons of the 36,000 tons to be contracted Tor. At the rate of de livery proposed by the Midvale com pany the government could not have gotten its armor to complete the ships now in course of construction within a reasonable time. The other two bidders, the Bethle hem and Carnegie companies, were much higher in their figures, and in sisted on having the whole amount of armor divided between them on equal terms. The action of the government in promptly rejecting the bids is taken to indicate a determination to bring the contractors to reasonable terms. On the other hand it is said by some of the officials in the department that the government probably will be willing to make considerable concessions be fore adopting the serious alternative of establishing a plant of its own.
