Conger Cables About the Present Situation in Pekin. Ho Representative of China's Govern ment Has Yet Appeared. A BATTLE WITH A LARGE FORCE OF CHINESE TROOPS 'RUSSIA AND JAPAN HAVE NOT YET DE CLARED WAR. . Washington, Aug. 27. The following was received from Minister Conger to day, dated Taku, August 27: "'Secretary of State: No important movements since last despatch. The military 5s trying to restore order. No representative of the Chinese govern ment yet encountered. Several min isters of the tsung li yamen are report ed in the city and are expected to ap pear soon. The general decided not to enter into the imperial palace and it is practically vacant. Two thousand Germans arrived today." This despatch is undated but because of the mention of the arrival of the German force which has not yet been reported In any quarter it is presumed to be of recent origin. A BATTLE NEAR PEKIN. The following was received from General Chaffee, dated Taku, August 27 "Colonel Wiht reports that on the 19th he -marched and engaged a large force of the enemy several miles from the city. He dispersed them, killing a hundred.' The American loss is five wounded. Will cable names of wounded later." MORE GERMANS IN PEKIN. Washington, Aug. 27. The war de partment Is without information indi cating any change in the miltary situ ation in China. One despatch was re ceived today from General Chaffee but it did not relate in any way to the conditions in Pekin. Information from Minister Conger that two thousand Germans had reached the capital relieved the minds of those officials who felt uneasy over the reports that the Chinese army was marching to recapture Pekin. Many officers here are of the opinion that the allies will be able to hold on indefinitely against any assault on the cilty and inflict 'heavy losses' to the Chi nese should they attempt to recapture Pekin. It is believed here that unless the Chinese should make an attack, the international troops will have little to do in the way of fighting for several days at least, tl appears that order has been practically restored in Pekin. JAPS LANDING MARINES. Amoy, Aug. 27. The Japanese have been landing marines for three days, not only without provocation, " 1trat against the protestof the consuls. Ac- temple !by fire was the alleged excuse for their act, but the Amoy officials have proved their ability to maintain Terfeet 'order. There are 300 marines landing today. The excitement is In tense and thousands of civilians are leaving the city. Te officials, with scorces of-merchants, have visited the ATneric&n consulate pleading with the consul to intercede for the withdrawal of the marines, otherwise they declare it will be impossible to preserve order. The landing" of the marines by the, Japanese breaks the agreement of the powers with the .Viceroys.,... , RUSSIA! DECLARES THREE PROV INCES IN STATE OP SIEGE. Washington, Ang. 27.

Advices are expected at any time from General Chaffee as the military telegraph line between Pekin and Tien Tsin, which has been interrupted, is being or has been repaired. A despatch received at the Japanese legation from the foreign, office of Japan conveys the latest and most authentic information of the situation in and around Pekin. In a measure the advices were of a dis quieting nature, as they indicated that the Chinese had rallied their forces and were preparing for an attack up on the allies in Pekin. If it should prove true that the allied forces were besieged in Pekin, it would account for the lack of advices from General Chaffee. The understanding among Washing ton officials of Russia' attitude is that the empire has declared, the three provinces on its southeastern frontier in a state of sieges, which Is altogether different from a declaration of war. It is pointed out that Russia has two objects in her military operations 'the rescue and protection of the foreign legationers and the protection of her menaced frontier. 5 In carrying out this object Russia has seized New Chwang, which was done to obtain a base of operations, from which the frontier could easily be reached, precisely as Taku was seized as a base of operations by the allies in their operations against Pekin. CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT. Washington, Aug. 27. An Important conference was held tonight between President McKinley and Secretary Root and Adjutant General Corbin, af ter the receipt of several messages from China, the. contents of which were not given out. FORMING CONVOY AT PEKIN. Rome, Aug. 27. A despatch from Taku confirms previous reports that a convoy is beim-g formed at Pekin to conduct under strong escort ithe allies' wounded and women and children 'to Tien Xsiw. SMALL ENGAGEMENTS . Rome, Aug. 27. Newspapers print the following telegram from the admi ral commanding the Italian squadron at Taku: "According to news from the Italian minister the Pekin situation i3 unchanged. Small engagements be tween Pekin and Tien Tsin are reported all resulting in defeat of the Chinese." PRESBYTERIAN REVISION.- Committee's Bequests for Opinions as to Needed Changes New York, Aug. 27. The Presbyte rian creed revision committee have sent a number of questions to various Presbyterians. They were asked to in dicate what changes, if any, they de cide should be made in the Westmin ster confession of faith, doctrinal standards, etc. The committee places no restrictions on the scope or range of the replies to be made by different Presbyteries, but warns them it is not empowered to . consider any sugges tions that would in any manner con flict with the system of doctrine taught in holy scriptures and contain ed in the confession of faith. JEFFRIES AND FITZSIMMONS. New York, Aug. 27.W. A. Brady, Jeffrey's manager, and Fitzsimmons, accompanied by his trainer and back er, met this evening with a View to ar ranging a fight between Jeffreys and Fitzsimmons.

He licked me because I was doped." Brady ridiculed this and said it was Jeffrey's punches that doped Fitz. Af ter some further discussion Brady de clared Jeffreys was not In condition to meet Fitz Friday jnlght 'but would meet himwi thin six months. Fitz would not consent to this, and said Jeureys "would have to fight him now or never and that with the end of the Horton law he would retire. This ended the meeting.

C AER &rV7 AED, Ptops. : k CONSOLIDATION OF STBEET BAILROAD LIUES Biltmore Soad to Pass Inlo Hands of Asheville Street Railroad. J It has been rumored for several days that the Asheville street railroad would absorb the Asheville & Biltmore line. The Biltmore line hasj submitted a proposition to the otlher line, looking to absolute control, and the papers have been drawn up for the deal.' Its final consummation ha not yet been arrived at, but it is understood that this is pracitically the case. If the sale is made, the Asheville street railroad 'will take charge September 1. ' Several changes will be made In tbei tracks . A general transfer system la" to be inaugurated between all the lines of the Asheville street railroad, , Bilt more line and Inter-Montane line. The track over Bailey street ito McDowell will be taken up, although It is re ported that part of the city will have street car facilities in some way. Bilt more will be reached over South Main street by building from the present terminus of the Asheville street rail road line to the Bdltmore lime at Mc Dowell street. Among ithe possibilities is a loop to the depot, cars running down 'the present track to the depot and back by the Biltmore line's depot track. Care can than- run on any schedule without Interferrinsr with re turning caTS. The track force on the Asheville street railroad has made wonderful im- prof menus in the last few months. The grade om the Lookout mountain line has been leveled up ana curved straightened, new wires put in and more power supplied at the txwer house. On the deport line the track has ibeem leveled up. A dip near the first side -track has been filled in, so the grade is uniform, and the rock at the other end is being taken away with the intention of running ithe side track to the Biltmore crossing. The Inter-Montane track is being raised and lowered to suit ithe new grade being estabHehed on Montford avenue, and as son as ithey arrive new rails will be laid. These are very heavy and are suited for paving. The track is very smooth after the track force finishes it and enables better schedules, makes less wear on cars and Is more satisfactory in every way ito owner and to public. POPS NAME STEVENSON.

Constable Killed Trying to Arrest Her, Crowd Formed and Attempted to Burn Her House. Shot at Them Through the Windows Wounding Several. MRS. WRIGHT PROBABLY FATAL LY INJURED AND A LABORER EMPLOYED BY HER KILLED TROUBLE FOLLOWED HER BE ING DECLARED GUILTY OF MURDER BY CORONER'S JURY. Gilman, 111., Aug. 27. Two men kill ed, three wounded, two of them per- I haps fatally, one Woman wounded, and her residence burned, are the results of an all night battle between a mob and Mrs. Dr. C. W. Wright, who was ac cused of the murder of Dessie Salter, " the 16-year-old daughter of a citizen of Gilman. The dead are: John Myers, laborer, employed by Mrs. Dr. Wright. Michael Ryan, citizen, serving as -deputy constable. Fatally wounded: ' Lawson A. Ryan, a brother of the dead man, wounded in the abdomen. George Wllloughby, citizen, shot through left lung. Mrs. Dr. C. W.Wright, shot through"' ' right shoulder, bullet taking down ward course. Seriously wounded: Peter Latter, ' member of the citizens attacking party, shotXhrough stomach. Early in the evening the first act of the tragedy was enacted -when Ochsta ble Nilstead went to the house in the outskirts of the town, occupied by Mrs. Wright to serve on the occupant a warrant sworn out f ter the coroner's ' jury had declared her guilty of mur-V der. A number of deputies were with v Constable Nilstead. Mrs. Wright bar red the door and in forcing an entrance the constables encountered unexpected opposition. They broke the outer door -1 open and entered the darkened rooms. Michael Ryan felt his way across the first room and was about to enter the door of the inner apartment -when a shot rang out and he fell dead. The constables made a hurried exit and formed a picket line around the build ing. At regular intervals they fired in to the building in the hope that the oc cupants would surrender but without success. Finally it was determined to set fire to the building. The recent rain had so dampened its timbers that ' the fire would not catch and after burning some outbuildings the posse gave up the attempt and fell back to their original plan of driving out 'Mrs. Wright. About 3 o'clock the family of Michael Ryan arrived. The dead man had been carried to the bushes near the house where he met his death. A mob of probably 250 persons had gathered, most of them well armed; They seized dozens of bundles of straw, saturated them with petroleum, piled ' them against the front and "sides of " the ' house and applied the torch. Shot af ter shot rang from the upper window and George Wllloughby, a local repre sentative of the Standard Oil company, fell with a bullet in the left side. The next victim was Peter Lauer, of the at tacking party. These casualties so an gered the crowd that they fired into the house as fast as they could load , their firearms. t Contrary to expectations no -i screams followed the progress of the names and the mob began to think that the inmates of the building had been killed. Suddenly from a bunch of timber in the rear several shots came in the direction of the mob. They were answered" a hundred to one and -the fire was quickly silenced. Members of the mob rushed to the tim ; ber and found the body of JohnMyers, ' ,a blacksmith, who had ibeen employed by jMrs.. Wright.
