MINISTER. US TELEGRAM he Grain of Comfort It Contains Ik Thankfully Received Washington, June 23. An important -rain from Li Hung Chang, the great idnr-se diplomatist, who is now viceroy ! Canton, was .received at the State ''partment today. Li gives his per '"al assurance that the firing upon ie foreign -fleets, at Taku was not au ")i ized bv the Chinese government. ; II" .desired -the authority of the pow !s to proceed to Pekin for the purpose ,f putting an end to the disturbances '"ie, a purpose in which his great itlnenee both with the court and the ("nle "-ive it- is claimed here, a cer- 'h'i promise of success. The. UnitedJ cm s. and it is believed the other pow r. have assented to this proposition of '' Hung Chang, and he is supposed to ave started for Pekin.' - -Minister Wu called at the State De finment this morning with a telegram Vt from Nan King by Liu Kan Yae, "'roy of the Yang Tse provinces, say 's that all foreigners in Pekin were uve and well. This information vas secured by Minister Wu at the request of -'Secretary Hay. Mr. Wu telegraphed to the viceroy Thursday asking fcfr news of Minister Conger. There is noth ing in the dispatch to show, however, that telegraphic communication with Pekin is open, and the government au thorities, while somewhat comforted over the viceroy's report, are not en tirely satisfied as to the accuracy of his news. The dispatch is regarded as extremely important by government officials, as it is shqwn that our forces are not en gaged in fighting the Boxers, but the imperial forces, and that these latter are in open warfare with the foreign column. That the Chinese forces are powerful is sIioavii by the inability of the Americans and Russians to break the line, and terrible slaughter is tx 1ected when the reinforcements attempt the attack. No word has as yet been received from either Mr. Conger or Captain! j -uecaim and the State Department of I fieials have given up attempting to reach jthem. It is now nearly two weeks since Air. longer was heard from. The reported killing of Second Lieut. John X. Wright, U. S. Marine Corps, by the Chiuese troops at Tien-Tsin could not be verified by the Navy Depart ment, as the officials have had no word from that place. Lieutenant Wright was born in Indiana, and was appointed from South Dakota. lie was stationed at the Boston navy yard for several vjVrs before "beinsr sent to the Philin- pines. -tiie Navy Department today gave out j the following dispatch from Admiral j Kempff in answer to a message of in j quiry as to the number of Americans I now in IVkin and as to the where- t abouts of the. relief column, with Captai . iMcCalla and several hundred America tin in marines: Chefoo, June 23. Secretary of the Navy. Washington: There are 80 Australians, 7." French, HO Germans, 70 'British, 40 Italian. Japanese, To Russians and S American troorps in Pekiii. No news of where abouts of Pekin" relief expedition re- j ported by cablegram June 12. Japanese ! expect several thousand troops, now j dire. Xo news from Tien-Tsin or Pekin j since last report. KEMPFF. The officials are much disappointed over the absence of news from Captain McCalla and will take immediate meas ures to trace him. The Solace arrived at Nagasaki, en route to San Francisco, todav. The jXavy Department has cabled the ves j scl to wait at Nagasaki until it can i be determined whether or not the two battalions f troops on board shall be returned for service in China. Admiral Remey has cabled the de partment that he will prepare and dis patch a strong force to Taku from Ca vite and Manila and will act in con junction, with (ieneral MacArthur. The Ninth infantry leaves for Taku :, with part ot Ine iMghteeuth infantry and a detail of marines. "Plans for sending eight troops of the Kixth United States cavalry to China are being formulated at the War De partment. Orders were issued several weeks ago for two squadrons of this regiment to mobilize at San Franeiseo. preparatory to their being sent to Manila to take the place of invalid battalions to be sent home. The transport CIraiit, now at San Francisco, was selected to carry the eight troops, aggregating about eight hundred men. Heretofore army trans ports going to Manila have, not stopped at Nagasaki. Japan, except on the re turn trip. Orders have now beeji issued by the Secretary of War for the (Jrant to go to Manila by way of Nagasaki, and the Navy Department has been in formed of this movement. The Orant will also carry for the Navy Depart ment a battalion of marines destined for Cavite. The purpose of ordering the transport to go by wa- of Nagasaki is to enable the sending of this4 marine battalion and the Sixth cavalry to China should the situation warrant such action when the transport reaches Nagasaki. The laod ing of the Grant is to proceed with all possible speed, but it is not thought she will be able to get away before July 12. General Merrinm, commanding the De partment of Missouri, has issued orders to the Sixth cavalry directing that the headquarters and band and Troops A, B, D. I, K. Jj and M proceed at once by rail to San Francisco. The movement has already begun. The Sixth cavalry is commanded by Col. Samuel S. Sum ner, it is one ot tne cracK regiments of the army and has seen active service on the frontier and in Cuba. In the war with Spain it took part in the assault upoi San Juan Hill. It will probably perform infantry service should it go to China, as its horses will go on slow transports and would not reach China in time for landing with the troops. Von Ketteler Reported Still Alive. London, June 23. A dispatch from Berlin to the Central News, says: "The viceroy of Nan-King has sent a cablegram to the Chinese embassy here, stating that he has received information from Pekin to the effect that Baron Von Ketteler, the German minister to China, is still alive. Boxers Rnrn Foreign Concession. London, June 23. A dispatch from Shanghai of Friday's date says the Boxers haAe burned nearly all of the foreign concessions. A dispatch from Wei-IIai-Wei says that the British warship Alacrity has sailed from Shanghai in the direction of Shis-Tao, for the purpose of rescuing the foreign missionaries. "The foreign consuls today addressed a note to the Chinese admiral at Wei-IIai-Wei asking him to remove his fleet. Two of his shins have sailed and the rest will leave shortly. Alarming Message from a Missionary New York ,June 23. Rev. A. Wood ruff Halsey, one of the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis sions, received a cable dispatch this morning from the Rev. W. O. Ellrich, who is in charge of the Presbyterian mission at Chefoo. The dispatch reads as follows: "Pekin in peril. Shantung ordered to port." The message is a very unsatisfactory one of us," said Mr. Halsey, "and we have every reason to be alarmed over it. It means that our missionaries in Pekin are in peril and that all of our . mis sionaries in th'e east and west Shantung province are ordered to the sea coast They have been ordered to Chefoo by the American consul at that port, or else the missionaries themselves have resort ed to this action for safety. The mes sage indicates that the trouble has spread.".. AYCOCK IN LEXINGTON Biggest Crowd There Since the Days of Vance HISSPEECH MAGNIFICENT Four or FIv Thousand People Gave nim Close Attention, and When lie Asked How many Intended to Vote for the Amendment livery Hand in the Crowd Was Ralscd-Lacy Make a Good Speech. Lexington, X. C, June 23 Hon. C. B. Aycock came todays accompanied by Mr. R. B. Lacy. They were met at the train and escorted to the grounds about one half mile west of town by a proces sion one mile in length. Mr. II. B. Var ner called the meeting to order and Hon. S. E. Williams introduced the speakers of the day in an eloquent and deservedly complimentary effort. Exactly at 11:15 a. in. Mr. Aycock arose with a sparkle in his eyes, indicating that he was en joying the occasion, though it was evi dent that the campaign was telling on him. Before he . had finished his speech he had to give up the effort, but after a snort tune revived and finished his speecn, tne aniest one be privileged to listen to which we will during this cam- paign. Mr. Aycock said he had not been ac customed to speak to acres of people, lie was looking on the largest political gathering that any one had seen here since the days of Vance. It is generally agreed that there were four thousand, while many claim another thousand. Mr. Aycock took up the subject of the franchise and showed how, when the Democratic party and white people were in power the State government of No;1h Carolina was good. Law and order pre vailed. He repeatedly made the point that the. white people behind the Demo cratic party: they are the Democratic party, he said. The negro is behind the Republican party, for it depends upon them for election. The Republicans speak of taking the negro's liberty aw;y by disfranchising him. They forgot the hundreds of honest white men who were disfranchised" after the war and their right to vote handed over to the ignorant negro. Mr. Aycock's tribute to the Confeder ate soldiers was beautiful, as was that to the women who kept the homes and clothed the children while they fought. His jokes were sparkling and his argu ment convincing. He took up the amendment in detail, pointing out tl wisdom of its provisions and Jeavng no ground for misunderstanding. Towards the last of the speech he asked for these to raise their hands who meant to vote for the amendment. Every hand went up. Mr. Lacy made short, but eloquent appeal for the amendment. He would sacrifice his ambitions for the success of that issue. The people enjoyed Lacy's taiK as was indicated by their cheering. After the speeches a barbecue was served. It was a great day for Demo cracy in Davidson.

Dr. Cheatham Dies Suddenly. Henderson. N. C, June 23. Special Dr. W. T. Cheatham died suddenly at WHO SHALL IT BE? Running Mate for Bryan the Burning Question A VOTE WINNER WANTED Stalveley, of Indiana, Is Prominently Mentioned and David C Hill Is Snz sested A Slilltary Man Not Essential to Offset Itooaevelt Boyd Retains Ills Place on tlie Republican National Corrmittee Ry JOHN BOYLE Washington, June 23V Special -All eyes are now turned to Kansas City, and who shall be the riming mate of Mr. Bryan is the absorbing question. It begins to look very much as if the Uvansas City convention will give Mr. ! Bryan a running mate either from New i York or Indiana. As of old, both of j these States are to lie the battle ground, ;and hence the vice presidential problem is reduced to the .simple question of selecting the man who can add the most i strength to the ticket in New York and ! Indiana. It seems probable that Ben- jamin F. Sliiveley is aoont the strongest : Democrat among the hoosiers. That is to say, more 'iioosiers speak well of him than of any other Democrat in their ! State. He stands for the same prinei ! pies and the same ideals a sdoos Mr. i Bryan. In view of this fact, it is nat ural that the question should be asked. Would Sliiveley bring to the ticket out side of Indiana an element of strength which it lacked in Ls'.Mi? It is generally conceded that David Bennett Hill would attract many thou sands of Democrats to the ticket whom he encouraged four years ago to stay at home on election day or vote for McKin ley. It may be that Hill does not desire the second place on the ticket; then again it is thought that he may Ik quite as -oy in this regard as was Theodore Roosevelt. Presumably if 11 ill wants the nomination for vice president the New York delegation will unmistakably uiirlllf w .ttiof f-li.f .111 o t .il 1 kl 1 I !l T to the New York politicians, which methods, by the way. fool nobody outside nrsj. e of the Empire State, and seem t. be quite effective among New Yorkers. It, !is not doubted that Mr. Bryan s wisii m 'the premises will largely govern the ac tion tf the Kansas City .convention on the vice presidency as well as the plat form. Personally the relations between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hill have always been piejs.cit. But another New Yorker is looming up. He is Chief Justice Parker, of the Empire State. After McKinh'V had car Tied New York State in 1SD0 by 220.hm vote's, Parker, running on the Demo cratic ticket, carried it by h0,000 ma jority. He is recognized as one of the ablest jurists in the country, always a Democrat ami a supporter of the ticket in lS'.Hj. As a judge he commands the confidence of employer and employe alike, having decided some of the most xlelicate question involving .labor's rights ever presented to a court. His stand ing with substantial people is shown by the fact that he was never defeated as a candidate before the people. Senator Harris, of Kansas, a Demo crat, voiced the sentiment of many Dem ocrats when he said today just after leaving the president: "Wo want a man in whom the country will have the same confidence as Bryan, and I do not know a better man than Sliiveley of Indiana. No, we cannot af ford to straddle by having a man on the ticket holding views antagonistic to those of Mr. Bryan ami the party. I do not think a soldier is needed to offset the looked-for enthusiasm that Roose velt may give to the Republicans, lloose velt is a picturesque figure and is very popular in the west. Many men who are not .committed to any party will take to the Republicans because of Roose velt's connection with the ticket. At the same time I do not believe the ticket will win. "The people are not to be deluded into the idea that the existing prosperity is the product of the Republican adminis tration. We are 'having prosperity in the west, but it is due to good seasons, hard work, rigid economy and self-denial. Unfavorable conditions elsewhere, even now, are advancing the price of wheat, which will greatly benefit the farmers of Kansas and the west, but those unfavorable conditions were not brought around by a Republican adminis tration. The people throughout the country understand the reason for these things. Other than this the people rec ognize that the last congress gave to the trust favors of all kinds all they asked for. Thev also recognize that Gongressabsolutely refused to do for the country those things that were de- ni:indd irrespective of party, such as n -n n monlcJ inni-.stntfl OTl TlierCe. tl 11 li.V li l V ... - - t - i a. t.

After Kill it is James E. Boyd, who is National committeeman from North Car olina, and not Senator Pritchard. When the delegation reached Philadelphia it was the opinion that Senator Pritchard cVinhl .lw selected. He entered his pro- ocf nWI st-ited that be could not serve if Ato..to1 a he wn overrun with -political business. The delegation held oft Wednesday iiiirht Senator Pritchard and rani nwr to AVashinsrton. in ins -absence rne delegation met and elected him. his name being -handed in, and it was published in all the press dispatches. On his return the next dav he informed the delega tion that he 'could not accept, and then Assistant Attorney General iwyu, all along had been -anxious to succeed i himself on the National committee, was' selected. His name was substituted for. hat stf Spnntnr lritctanrd. and for tne next four years Mr. uoyu win again represent North Carolina on the Repub lican National Committee. Senator Pritchard returned here this morning from Philadelphia and was at his office in the Mai thy annex much of the d:y catching up with his mail, which i"1" - . . .,, l . - Ja a much, pleased with, Um tk&t'ux and says it is the strongest that coukl have been selected. Senator Pritchard may remain here a day or so and then go to Atlantic City, or he may return homee next Wednesday. His movements are uncertain. On July 2nd 'he will deliver a speech in Greensboro on the icssues of the campaign. "I will devote much of my speech to a review of the last session of the legis lature," he said to The Post correspond ent, "and later I may be called upon to again review the next session of the Legislature. The Legislature seems to be afraid to adjourn. "It is a peculiar situation these off and on meetings of a State Legislature all summer. Each session modifies or tries to explain the action of the former session. Why don't it adjourn? It's afraid to. And there is Aycock making affidavits that the amendment areconsti tutional. Just think of it. Now Ay cock is a good lawyer, Init who ever heard of a lawyer making affidavit that a proposed Jaw is constitutional? That's the point at issue, and with such a diver sity of opinion I would not for a moment make an affidavit that it was unconsti tutional. I dielieve.it is, but to make an affidavit to that effect is something else." Mr. W. S. Hyams s in New York ! on Political business.
