The office of the inspector general of Chinese customs has received a telegram from the com missioner at Shanghai stating he ha received a telegram from Sir Robert Hart, director of imaperial Chinese cus toms, dated Pefein, July 27, beginning, "'Happiiy-I Atii still alire," shewing he is stild condnicting -the custom business. IS THE! WAiT TO PEKIN OPEN? London, Aug. 10. Chaffee s an nouncememit of the capture of Tang Tsun is the most important news that has been received from China. It is not suppleme!Ilted, by anyitihdng.that (has been received here. Several govern ments 'have receivd dspatehes in regard to the Peit (Sang engagement, but ithey do mot add anything y consequence to the reponts already received. There is crvm Ck. onrrvrfeA o 4-ia, Kali af 4v TMn Hes t THE DEMAND ON CHINA. (Washington, Aug. 9. The sitate de partment this morning mad' public the following memtorandufm sent yes terday to the ' Chinese government through Minister Wu: "We ana availing ourselves, of the opportunity offered by the imperial' edict of August 5 allowing to the for eign ministers free eoan'munication with their govemmients in cipher and have sent a communication to Minister Conger to which we await an answer. We are already advised 'by him, in a brief d'espatch received August 7, that imperial troops are firing daily upon the ministers in Pekin. We demand the immediate cessation of hostile at tacks by t'hie imperial troops upon the legations: and urge the exercise of ev ery power and energy of the imperial goytarnirnent for the protection of the legations and all( foreigners therein. We are also advised by the same de spatch from Minister iConger that, in nis opinion, for tihia foreign ministers to leave Pekin as proposed in the edict of August 2, would be certain death. In view of (the fact 'that the imperial troops arte now firing upon the lega tions and in view of the doubt express ed by the imperial government in its edict of August & as to its -power to re store order and secure absolute safety in Pekin, it Is evident (that this appre aiension. is well founded, for if your goviemment canntot protect our minis ter in Pekin, it will, presumptively, be unable to protect ihim upon a journey from' PeM n to the coast. "We therefone (urge upon the im perial' government that it wtfll adopt the course suggested In clause 3 of President MoKinUey' ' communication to his majesty the emperor of China, of July 23, 1900, and enter into communi cation with the relief expedition, " so that co-opteiratiop. may be secured "be tween them for the liberation of the le gation, the protection, of oreigneti9 and the restoration- of order. Such ac tion on the part of Che imperial! gov ernment would be a satisfactory-demonstration of its friendliness and desire to attain thiese ends. "ALVQEJT A. AiDEE, "Acting Secretary.

New York, Aug. 8. A despatch from Chefoo, August 5, via Shanghai, August 8, says: "Owing to the heavy rains the Pel Ho has risen and flooded the country in a way that will make the. advance of the allies extremely difficult. The Jap anese and Russians dn a reoonnoi sanee : met the lenemy -on July 30 strongly entrenched in the direction of Peitsang and had a small engagement. The Chinese fire was accurate and only good cover prevented heavy casual ties. The Japanese lost three killed and twieniy-flve wounded. Docu ments found in the native city of Tien Tsin prove the official! encouragement given to the rebels; also that prices were set on foreigners' heads, the high est figures being on those of Ameri cans."

A despatch from Paris says: Count Lamsdorff's appointment by the czar as minister of foreign affairs has created something akin to a panic here in 'political and foreign circles. The oo-unt has always leaned more strongly in favor of an understanding with Germany and Austria than with France, and is known here as a pro nounced adversary of the Franco Russian alliance. The latter has be come very strained since Parisian financiers declined to have anything to do with floating the last Russian Joan and the sudden recall to St. Peters burg of the Russian generalissimo, DragiminofC, and the chief of 'the gen eral staff, who were here in consulta tion with the French war department, followed by Count Lansdorff's appoint ment seems to indicate jthat the al liance, for the sake of which France has made such big sacrifices, is on the eve of rupture.- TO CHANCUHE COEBEL-LAW.

The first chaplain of the court, assisted by a number of priests pronounced ab solution, and thecortegia started for the PaDtheon, where rest the remains of Hum'ber's father. The immediae space surrounding tne rallroadlstation: was entirety filled with people and as tne casket was borne in to the open air all thqsfei present uncov ered and remained bareheaded while the procession was in vfleiw., After the casket was placed on the gun carriage, King Victor Emmanuel III took his place at the head of the princes who folio wied 'the remains. Proceeding the cortege was a battery of artillery, a band of music and then a batalion from, each division of the Italian army and marine corps, and distinguished people. Just ahead of t he casket were 100 pries us and 100 friars Including the court chaplains. The gun carriage carrying the casket was driven by six horste and was sur rounded hy officers and functionaries iOf the civil and military houses. Be hind the casket was the master of the court, bearing a wreath of iron and fol lowing him was the lace King Hum bert's beautiful war horse, which was always a favoritia with the deceased. When the head of the procession reached the Pantheon an enormous crowd occupied every available foot of space. All adjacent streets and win dows, balconies and terraces in the vi cinity were also Allied with spectators. Not a whisper of 'conversation inter rupted the solemnity of the scene, the multitude remained in respectful si leiace with uncovered heads. During the march of the procession several crushes occurred. Among those present in the crowd on the Via De Serpenitiia 20 persons received slight wounds and 30 others were bruised. The procession marched in perfect or der and at a slow pace.. King Victor Emmanuel who was on foot, bore him self with dignity and carried his head high. During the march flowers were thrown from windows' on the passing casket. The wWfe portico of the Pan theon, where the procession arrived at 9:15 a. m., formed a veritable flower wreath . ; I MAN CAPTUREO WHO RESEMBLES. BRESCI May Possibly be One f tbe Plotters Aerainst Kins: Humbert Richmond, Va., Aug. 9. Alex. Brasce, an Iitalia'n, about 30 years of age a rnar ble cutter by trade is a prisoner at the Second police station aw the charge of being a suspicious character. Deftec-, tives arrested the man yestarday morn ing on the complaint of a committee of ,promiinent Italians, who declared that Brasce was an anarchist, and that he had made a threat to throw a bomb in the Cathedral ftomorrow while he me morial service in respect to the late King Humbert were being celebrated. Braece can hard,ly make himself un derstood, buit to a- reporter he tried to make it plain that he was not an an archist. Later it was said thait Brasce had been at the anarchist meeting in Patterson, N. J., at the time of "She drawing of lots ito kill' the king. It ia also charged now that Brasce has been trying to organize an anarchisit band here. The man bears a striking re semblance to the pictures printed of Breeci, the assassin of King Humbert, and (the similarity of the names has led maay of the local Italians to think that the two men are brothers.
