QUESTION OF COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE AOLJEOD FORCES A TROUBUESOME ONE-MILD PROTESTS AGAINST KAISER'S 'SPEECH OF VENGEANCE. London, July 29. Another week of contradictory rumors, all unworthy of credence, leaves the Pekin mystery still unsolved. The lapse of " time without definite news increases the be lief that only death will ibe found be hind the veil when it is finally lifted. To the Chinese pretensions that the ministers are still unharmed except von Keteler, is now universally dis credited in Europe. Li Hung Chang's threat that the ministers still surviving will be put to the sword df the powers advance toward Pekin, has not the slightest influence in shaping the pol icy of any of the powers. Nothing which China can say or do will prevent the allies from marching to Pekin, there to exact reparation. The announcement cabled in a Washington despatch today that the United States would co-operate with the powers and would not pursue- an independent policy caused great sat isfaction in Europe. It is not because Europe needs American co-operation but the powers are anxious- -to-riBVotd serious complications when might eas ily arise if the United' States should pursue an independent policy. It is realized that such a course might en courage China to wage war against Christendom in the hope that America would blunder and destroy the har mony of the powers. The question of a commander in chief of the allies must be settled in a few days, and it remains to be seen whether the diplomatic authorities will be more successful than the military representatives on the spot in break ing the deadlock. "Views on this point are now being exchanged and the ap palling suggestion is made that a con ference at Paris may be necessary to settle it. It is discouraging indeed if a formal conference1 at Paris shall be necessary. THE KAISER'S THREATS. The kaiser's relentless speech of ven geance yesterday is causing some faint protest.- The Pall Mall Gazette rebukes the kaiser for practically instructing the troops to massacre Chinese. It says massacre, while it may be defended after the event, can never be justified in anticipation. MESSENGER RETURNS FROM PE KIN. Nw Tork, July 28. From a staff cor respondent of the Sun at Tien Tsin July 24, viaShanghai, July 28. A Oni nesie student of Missionary Wilder, who started for Pekin a fortnight ago. He reports that the . Chinese imperial troops have completely surriund'enl the Tartar city. He was unable to de liver the message entrusted to him to the legations. He begged the Chinese tio let hira go through but it was told it was impossible; they could not pass any representativie of foreigners. On July 14 he say the Chinese ceased their attack on the legations, and dur ing the remainder of his stay every thing was quiet. July 18 an imperial edict was issued commanding all per sons to protect the -foreigners. The student left- Pekin that-day. He de clares he saw no troops for sixty miles south of Pekin but in the vicinity of Yang Tsung and Piet Sung there were about 20,000: This news corresponds AT A SACRIFICE ...FOR CASH,..

DtnftOGKflTIG Democratic Speakers Concentrating Their Efforts Stirring Violent Prejudice in the East Kitch en's Incendiary Utterances. The Red Shirt element in the eastern counties of this state Is being1 stirred up by violently inflammatory speeches by the democratic campaign ers. The following is a sample, the utterance being a part of a speech deliv ered by Congressman Buck Kltchins at Gatewville on Thursday (Wash ington Post's report): : ? '.'If you are a heathen and a eavage, go and vote n-gainst the amendment: eat. drink 8nd sleep with the negro, bat I am sorry for the negro. A. white negro i ien thousand times worse than a black one. If we can't get the ignorant negro out of politics peacefully and legally by the eternal gods, we will do it aoy way 'I want to appeal to you, ladies, for God's Bake and your own, don't even speak to theae white men with black principles. Taey are no better than yellow dogs. "We are going to carry Halifax County by 5,000. Over there w i have a law of nelf preservation, and we are going to take what belongs to us. We can carry the ntate by 40,000, without cheating- v "If a man takes a negro quality in Halifax, ihe worms must eat bis body, and we will not do it at night. We will do it in open daylight. All I ask is that you be meu brave, fearless mei . 'There are very few white men who can read poorly enough and very few negroes who can read well enough for the democratic poll keepers " Aycock, candidate for governor, is himself taking a very active part in this campaign, escorted by Red Shirt companies. A Wilmington despatch to the Raleigh Post says: "One of the biggest red shirt demonstrations of the campaign in Bast Carolina was at iKenansville and Warsaw, about 40 miles from Wilmington today. An escort of one thousand men wearing red shirts and many of them carrying Winchesters and breach-loading guns, escorted Hon. C. B. Aycock, democratic candidate for governor, from War saw to Kenansville." Of the three methods proposed by Mr. Aycock by which the democratic organization can rule this state force, fraud or law the third method is receiving but scant attention. , - with "information which had been re ceived and is therefore believed to be true and trustworthy. EDICT SAYS MUNHSTERB WELL. Washington', July 28. The secretary of state has received this despatch from Fowlier, American consul at Chefoo, Midnight, July 28: "This morning" by request allied ad mirals wired igovernor their wish to get news from' ministers themselves. Governor replies: 'Having received to day edict from emperor saying minis ters well. They are sending provisions to legations. Am: confident ministers out of distress and safe.' Fowlier." A later despatch, dated la. m., 27th, to the state department is as fol lows: "Telegram from governor: Have de spatched imperial edict 24th saying va rious ministers excepting German well, and some days ago had supplied provi sions to legations. Am satisfied min isters out of distress." Secretary Hay has received a mes sage from Hong Kong stating that Viceroy Tak give assurance that the ministers were alive and well on July 24. CHINESE CONCENTRATING. New Tork, July 28. A Herald de spatch from 'Shanghai says: "Twenty thousand armed Chinese are1 concen trating some distance from here. Com petent military authority declares that precautions taken for defending Shanghai are insufficient. While ex isting operations show the emptiness of the Russian bubble they fuWy con firm all that has been foreseen of the Japanese power. It is officially stated that Russia can present only 8,500 men altogether, unless reinforced from Eu rope. "Officials of Central China, while strenuous in their efforts to preserve peace, at the same time are: preparing for war by collecting arms and muni tions and strengthening forts at Woo Sung, Ktan Gim" and other places on the Tangtse. Admiral Seymour can not interfere while war has not been declared. News of the murder of mis sionaries is continually arriving." RUSSIAN GIVES CONTRARY NEWS London, July '28.The Daily Mail's Shanghai correspondent telegraphs that a Russian banker, who ieft Pekin July 7 and arrived at Shanghai July 25, says that when he left Pekin all, the le-. gations had been destroyed and all for eigners murdered. The ministers see ing death was inevitable, shot their families. Sir Robert Hart committed suicide in despair. The statement from Washington that the officials are. wavering in regard to the reliability of alleged f messages from Conger and Wu Ting ..Fang's as surances has had a marked depressing effect on this side of the ocean, where many have 'been buoyed up by the san guine views of the state department at Washington regarding tine various Shanghai despatches, and pessimism Is again maintaining" ascendency. Therels.no change in the generarsit uation in the miessage coming from the (British consul at Shanghai .to over wrought Europe, While another asserts that a week; has elasped without a re ply to the " consul's,- message -to the British minister at. Pekin. '-The belief is confirmed that ,v the , assurances of Chinese officialdom are only designed HOPE in to gain time, and even if the ministers are alive they are held as hostages. Definite news of any kind is scarce. A report comes from - Shanghai that business has 'been resumed at the .port of New Chwang and that a second Jap anese division is mobilizing at TOkio, preparatory for embarkation for China. REASSURANCE FROM LI. New York, July 28. The Tribune publishes the following despatch from Li Hung Chang, dated Shanghai, July 27, and received this morning: "Pekin reports ministers alive. Safety assured Allied forces' entrance to Pekin unnecessary." This was in answer to a miessage sent three days ago to the viceroy ask ing for a statement as to the safety of foreigners in Pekin. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. London, July 28. A parliamentary paper on China was issued this after noon, dealing with the period of the murder of the Missionary,Brooke, Jan uary 4 to July 5, when the Chinese minister at London, Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, communicated to Lord Sal isbury the imperial edict. The last written communication from the Brit ish minister! at Pekin, Sir Claude iMacDonald, daJted May 21, declares that "the demeanor of the inhabitants of Pe kin is quiet and civil toward foreigners, although from the panic among native Christians it may be assumed the lat ter are being subjected to threats of violence." Sir Claude MacDonald was convinced that a few days of heavy rainfall to terminate the drought which had excited the unrest of the country district would do more to re store tranquility than any measure the Chinese or foreign governments ooula take . JAPS ENGAGES IN FIGHT. London, July 28. Through a Yoko hama despatch the government has re ceived information that the Chinese at tack a body of Japanese and Ooreans in the vicinity of Au Tong, on the ncrth side of the Yalu river. Refugees had arrived at Wiji. Japanese reinforce ments were proceeding to the rescue of conflict. The latest news received at St. Pe tersburg from Rlagovestchenk was dat ed July 23.

SENATOR PRITCHftRD AT r.lORGAtlTOIl A Masterful Spftch Before Crowded Hons? Tli Ptawratic Position-- 8tjdngly Asiiiud. MofgantOn, N. C, July 28. Senator Pritchard and Hon. R. B. Glenn were both billed fa speak here today. The appointments for both-of these gentle men for the same date was purely ac cidental, but the local republicans ask ed the democrats for a joint discussion which was promptly refused. Senator Pritchard spoke in the court house, which was crowded. Every seat was taken, even the aisles and porticos of the.' court room being pack ed with men of all political creeds, eager and anxious to hear the truth. We have heard Senator Pritchard of ten, and it is no idle flattery to say that he made today the greatest speech we ever heard him make. It was a mastterful review of the inconsisten cies and broken promises of the dem ocratic party. He reasoned like a statesman and a senator. He was at no time abusive,, but pleaded with the earnestness of a great soul for the liberties of the peo ple. His illustrations were strong and pointed. When he pleaded with the poor, il literate whites to be true to themselves and their children in defense of the -rights purchased by the blood of their illiterate forefathers at King's Moun tain the effect was electrical. Tears started in the eyes of many and the democrats joined with the re publicans in the applause. "Fellow citizens," said he, "the democrats themselves have some doubts about the constitutionality of this amendment question, else why did they convene the legislature and amend the amend ment. You give a poor criminal the benefit of a douht when he is on trial and I appeal to you to give yourselves the benefit of this doubt when your right to vote the greatest right a cit izen can have is about to be taken from you?" This appeal was greeted with thun derous appilause. Burke county favor ed herself today in fidelity to republi canism yea, more, she honored him who is the great champion of the plain people of North 'Carolina. It was a great speech and will be productive of much good. BATHBOHE ARRESTED. Recent Cuban Director General of Posts Held in Bonds. Havana, July 28. Estes G.
