QESTRE1GHER&C0 Ml INTENSIFIED Members of Legations in Pe kin Must Trust to Own Resource. Germans Demand Eerenge for Killing Minister. Retention of Chinese Minister Urged by Hostile War Party. Further Advance at Present for Allied Force Not Possible. UNITED STATES MAKES HLANS FOR GENE3RAD WAR ADMIRAL, DEWEY OFFERS' TO COMMAND ASIATIC FLEET TO BE MORE THAN DOUBLED. London, July 2. Anxiety regarding foreigners In Pekin is intensified throughout Europe by the recent de spatches and whatever hope has been based on the reports that the Russian or allied relief force was approaching or had arrived at the Chinese capital seems to be crushed by Under Foreign Secretary Broderick's statement to the house of commons today that Admiral Bruce thought it not yet possible for the allied forces to attempt further ad vance. It is accordingly recognized that members of the legations, if still surviving, must for the present trust to their own resources. GERMANS AROUSED. Berlin, July 2. The majority of the fJerman press is urging the government to avenge the assassination of the Ger man minister at Pekin. They claim that Germany must abandon her rank among the, powers unless she ,. exacts satisfaction. r. The Tageoiatt urges the detentlojrof the Chinese minister. The hostile mill tary party is urging the despatchihg of ten thousand troops to China No definite policy" will be decided upon un til the foreign minister returns from Wllhelmshavn where he is conferring with the emperor. NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE. Paris, July 2. The confirmation of the assassination of the German minis ter at Pekin caused deep emotion here. Diplomats consider the assassination together with the destruction of the le gations, leaves no doubt but a declara tion of war in which Germany shall take the initiative. The- hope is ex pressed that the United States will join in the general action as its co-operation will add greatly to the chance of main taining harmony. PLANS FOR WAR. Washingon, July 2. Keenly alive to the possibility of a general war grow ing out of the Chinese situation the navy department, through its strategic board, which met at Newport last week, has prepared a comprehensive plan of campaign. This plan together with a number of other war projects considered by the board will be for warded to the navy department. It is quite probable In te event of a general war witbriChina Admiral Dewey will be assigned to the command of the Asiat ic fleet. In fact he has declared that' he will volunteer his services for this command. As president of the stra tegic board Dewey was able to advance many valuable suggestions in prepara tion of the plan of campaign. The project contemplates a squadron of more than double the size of the pres ent Asiatic and Pacific fleets. TEN REGIMENTS TO CHINA. Washington, July 2. The cabinet meeting this afternoon and after con sultation with President McKinley by telephone at his home in Canton it wa arranged that If the Chinese situation justified such a course ten regiments of troops would be ordered from this coun try to China to relieve the volunteer regiments in the Philippines which may be decided upon for service la China.

Chefoo, July 2. Unrest is spreading and the missionaries are making their way to the coast from all the northern provinces. A steamer sent out by the American and other consuls at Chefoo arrived here Saturday with 73 mission, aries, comprising 33 Americans, 29 English, 1 Canadians and one Chinese. The names of the Americans follow: Dr. Crawford and wife, "Rev. Mr. Bos tock, wife and family, Rev. Mr. Dawes, wife and Infant, Rev. Mr. Patricn, wife and two children, Miss Burnham, M. D., Rev. Mr. Blalock and wife, Rev. Mr. Hudson, wife and infant, Rev.' Mr. Fitch, wife and children, Dr. Faries and three children, Miss Edna Parks, M. D., Margaret Chal fant. All these are from San Tung and Honan. Others are coming to the coast, for whom another steamer has been sent. The American cbnsul at Chefoo and the commander of the American gunboat Nashville urge all Americans to seize the present oppor tunity to leave Chefoo on merchant steamers. THREE FRENCHMEN KILLED Paris, July 2. The French consul at Tien Tsin telegraphs under date of June 26 aa, follows: "Several shells were fired in the town yesterday, one falling on the French consulate and damaging the building, without injur ing the residents. The secretary of the consulate, who was acting as road sur veyor for the town, and two French sailors were killed at the town hail." WORST IS FEARED. Washington, July 2. Cable advises from Admiral Kempff this morning fully confirm the previous reports of the murder of Baron von Ketteler, the German minister at Pekin. The ad miral also represents the situation of the ministers as? most desperate. The shortage of their food supplies, report ed! by Admiral Kempff, gives rise to the fpavest apprehensions. Having been rought to Taku by a runner, this de spatch represented the ministers' con dition at least five days ago and there is reason tb fear that the worst has happened in the interim. .. Admiral iCempfra .faorabl'pdrt 1i Hne -coa dition of the Oregon is believed by Secretary Long to be based upon the re port of the commander of the Japanese vessel which generously offered assist ance. No further reinforcements have been ordered to China, military or na val. AWAITING REINFORCEMENTS. New Pork, July 2. A special to the Herald from Chefoo says: The efforts of the commanders will now bedirected to the relief of the legationers at Pe kin. It is the general opinion that no further movement can toe made until re inforcements arrive. June' 19 the min isters were ordered to leave Pekin next day. They refused to go and threw the responsibility for their safe ty on the tsung li yamen. It is be lieved that the powers will threaten to destroy the imperial tombs if injury be falls the legations. The foreign force in Pekin for the protection of the lega tions numbers 428 men, of whom 56 are Americans from the Oregon and New ark, with a Colt's gun, under Captain (Meyers. Other officers are Captain Hill arid T. M. Lippitt. Baron von Kette ler's interpreter was also wounded, but saved himself by running into a le gation . A runner from Pekin says that all were in great distress there and eagerly looking for relief. Those killed of Admira Seymour's force were fear fully mutilated. The British despatch vessel Alacrity arrived at Chefoo this morning. She brings seventeen wound ed from Wei Hai Wei. There was an incipient riot here on Saturday evening over Coolie troubles. All is quiet to day. All the men of the naval brigade at Taku have been recalled to their ships and replaced by troops. v GERMAN MINISTER DEAD. TTangnai, July 2. The German min ister was attacked while proceeding to the tsung li yamen, where he died . Berlin, July 2. A telegram from Dr. Lentz, the German consul at Chefoo, says: "Our minister at Pekin was murdered June 18." This telegram was based upon a di- f W W W ' code . - , Grant's Sunburn Lotion is an excellent preparation- for cooling the skin and relieving irritation following exposure to sun- and wind. "Price 25 cents. " en Agency for Wood's Seeds SUNBURN relet, written message conveyed from Ifekln and signed by von Bergen, a member of the German legation at PeMn and Sir Robert Hart, the ispec f Of' general of customs. It was ad dressed to the commander of the Euro pean forces at Tien Tsin and was for warded June 29 by, Consul Zelmmerman t the German consul at Chefoo. The message contained t a number of inter esting details. Baron von Ketteler, while riding on horseback to the tsung li yamen (foreign office), was at tacked by large numbers of Chinese who pulled him off his horse and beat him to death. An interpreter who was with him was seriously injured but es caped and subsequently reached the German legation. Herr Hamann sus pects hat there was more bloodshed at the legation, the destruction of which, he declares, was more alarming be cause the messages add that the condi tion of the whites in Pekin was desper ate and aid was imperatively needed. It was also announced that the ammu nition of the legation guards was al most exhausted. When Herr Hamann was asked whether the course of Germany or that of the other powers toward China will be altered by the assassination of Bar on von Ketteler, he replied that he was unable to answer the question because Count von Buelow, the minister of for eign affairs, left here yesterday to meet Emperor William at Wilhelmshaven before the news was received here. He supposed Count von Buelow will fore go his vacation and remain in Berlin. Herr Hamann was also asked If the Chinese minister- here would be given his passports tout the privy councillor did not reply. LEGATIONS BESIEGED. Washington, July 2. The navy de partment has received the followingv from Admiral Kempff without date: Chefoo rRunner from Pekin report ed legations are besieged; provisions nearly exhausted. Situation desper ate. German minister going to tsung li yamen murdered by Chinese soldiers. American, Italian, Dutch legations burned. Twenty thousand Chinese sol diers inside, 30,000 outside Pekin, 3,000 reported beyond Tien Tsin, still fight ing at Tien Tsin. Communication to Tien Tsin by rail and river insecure. ' "KEMPFF."

A RED LETTER DAY AT GREENSBORO Senator Pritchard Enthusiastically Greeted by a Great Gathering. Special to the Gazette. Greensboro, N. C, July 2. This has been a red letter day in Guilford coun ty in behalf of the common people, who are now struggling for their liberties. Senator Pritchard addressed an audi ence of over twelve hundred voters, most of whom were farmers and labor ing men, and it is conceded on all sides that he made one of the ablest speeches ever delivered in North Carolina au dience. He devoted almost his entire time to a discussion of the proposed amendment, and paid special attention to the "indivisible" scheme inserted in the amendment at the recent session of the legislature. His arguments were convincing and overpowering. He sowed good seed in good grounds, and unless alf signs fail a good result will be seen on the second day of August. From the time that Senator Pritchard entered the door untill the hundreds thronged around to grasp his hand there was almost a continuous outburst of applause, as he scored point after point, showing the false promises made to the people by the democratic leaders and the' methods they were seeking to adopt by the infamous election law to thwart the will of the people. The en thusiasm was unprecedented. A great number of democrats were present. Good order obtained and votes against the amendment were made. After the speaking the county convention met and nominated what is considered to be a strong, clean ticket. TO TEST ELECTION LAW. Cherokee Indians Eefused Registra tion One of Them Brings Suit.

Andrews, July 1. Saturday was a notable day in the history of :hie vil lage. The republicans of the .Thirty fifth senatarial district assemb'ed hefe and renominated Senator Joel L. Crisp, and there is no doubt about his return to Raleigh. He is a practical politician of known probity, clever ability and ; justly commands a strong following.-., throughout the western section of North Carolina. When the work of the senatorial eon- vention closed there were several speeches, including a notablf one by Congressman Pearson. Mr- JF. 0.

They no longer enjoy the confidence of thought ful men. Every day your correspond- . ent has many proofs of this fact by the open avowals of former democrats who have left the party and are now fight ing the amendment. The event of Saturday here was .the speech of Congressman Pearson. Mr. Pearson began by saying that the strangest men inhe Stat? were those democrats who would vote against the amendment and at the same time vote the democratic state and leg islative ticket, for men who would go to Raleigh to thwart the wishes of thf people. This was like doing a thine with the right hand and undoing it with . the left. Such men were ae foolish and illogical as men would be who were od- posed to Bryan and yet would vote to send Bryan electors to the electoral col lege to thwart and reverse the will of the voter. ' . Mr. Pearson said that he had come here not to discuss national politics nor ? to talk about himself or his contest In i i congress, but to discuss the interests of nis nearers ana tne single ana viiai issue which the democrats had forced them to decide. He felt it his duty, to say, however, hy way bf-tatroduction, that he would scorn to hold a seat in congress based upon mere technicali ties. The people were opposed to legal, quibble and would require their rep resentative to 'show that he was en titled to the seat on the genuine mer its of the case by a clear majority of the legal votes honestly cast and hon estly counted.
