LEGATION " STILL UN
DER SIEGE.,
Minister Conger May Sever Have Re
cgivfd Sec. Uay's Messages Large
Ainy tlie Placed in China Soon--
Conger Heard From Later. .
Tbe dispatches bring little
comfort. from China. Another
and unpublished dispatch is said
to have come from Minister
Conger. It is now doubted, how
ever, whether any of Secretary
Hay's dispatches have reached
Minister Conger. It seems too
that the Chinese government en-
dcavbrs to impress Minister
Conger that the government
wants Him to accept the escort
fromPekin. '
The conviction is more and
more impressed that the move
ment to Pekin is the only thing
to be done.
. A Berlin dispatch of the 10th
calculates that within sh weeks
there will be 230,000 men and
500 guns together with 117 war
vessels in China.
Since condensing the above we
have the following dispatch
bringing latest from Conger:
"Washington Special via. Can
ton, China, Aug. 10 says, "Le
gation still under siege by Im
perial troops. Situation desper
ate; GO killed 100 wounded.
Some sickness but general health
good. Whatever be the outcome
will hold out indefinitely."

The Hon. W F Po'rt(jr of Hay
Meadow, and the Hon. Larwrtmca
Holt, of Burlingfpn. are the two
vice-presidents appointed by
Governor Russell to look after
the interests of North Carolina
at the Pan-American Exposition.
Mr. Holt, has been absent in
Europe for some time and there-
fette unable to take up his
work. Mr. Porter, "however, has
taken matters in hand and has
been spending some time in
Buffalo getting in touch with the
great onterprise which shall next
year ' astonish the world in its
giant proportions and surpass
magnificence. It is Mr. Porter's
intention to return soon to the
.State, and, with his closer'
knowledge jof "the splendid en
terprise urge upon our people
the importance of an adequate
representation by North Caro,
lina at Buffalo next vear. He
thinks that this is an opportu
nity of such value to all the
State interests that it would be
exceedingly short-sighted not to
hav.e a creditable exhibit. He
will undertaice to find out what
the people of the State think
about it when they better under
stand the greatness of the expo
sition. He will address a letter
soon to tho people of the State
.ting forth his reasons for
urging a first-class represonta-
lon by North Carolina.
Wjth her yast untouched
stores of mineral and forest
wealth and her unclaimed 'oppor
tunities for business investments
of all kinds. North Carolina has
much to offer to. tho home seek
ers and investors .
The Pan-American Exposition
will cost nlany millions of dollars
before tho gates are opened, the
.National Government -alone .ex
pending half a million on its
buildings and oxhibits. Within
night's ride of Buffalo more
'than forty rail lion people to
side. Chicago had, only half as
many within in the same" dis
tance in 1893.
.Aan extra attraction Boffalo
offers the greatest natural won
der of the worldNiagara

ride of tile Exposition; where
also is established, the largest,

Some Chinese Impressions.
There is no such thing in
China as a government, as we
understand that term. There is
the outward form', but it is 'en
tirely devoid of substance.
There are officials, but they
lack power, -and even the imperi
ous will of the Empress Dowager
cannot be impressed by the peo
pie at large. Tho present dis
turbance, if it is at least a popu
lar uprising, indicates the help
lessness of the central erovorn-
ment to. govern; or if it is at,
most actually supported by the
authorities, then we see tho cur
ious spectacle of a government
carrying on a war against the
civilized world in concert, with
tho greater part of its people
and the whole of i4ts-navy stand- j
ing by apparently unmoved, j
