The Emperor and Empress an reported at Pekin.'" The message forwarded by Consul Fowler is regarded at the State Depart ment as the most important news re ceived iu many weeks. It is not doubted that rumors hare come through from tae imperial city to Tien Tsin -and that t!e loiter from the German legation is au thentic. The uiiosive gives the gov. 'ru men t officials a faint idea of the present reign of terror iu IVkin. and it is be lieved that there n be no hope of Miu Lster Conger being alive. The Fowler message agrees with the statement given by the Chinese mission ary student Saturday after u visit to Pekin. Tbe latter stated that the bom bardment ceased July 14, while the let ter from the German legation states tnat the shelling stepped July 17. That the Germans should suffer a loss of ten dead and twelve wounded during -the lom bardment is regarded as ominous and in dieative of what has happened to the other legations. The message from the Japanese lega tion i regarded by the State Department as authentic, as it. is endorsed by Consul Fowler, who is a shrewd consular repre sentative and entirely trustworthy. The one portion of the letter which the of ficials seem inclined to doubt is that the Bussiau, American and French legations are still defended. The two letters agree in that the Germans state that they are still holding out. while the Japan lega tion letter corroborates -this. There is nothing in either of 4he let ters which mieht le regarded as improv ing the situation, said a high official of the State Department today. Even thougu tne legation houses have been destroyed the statement that they have been ihe!ktl from Juue 20 to July 17 and are still being bombarded by the Chinese Imperial troops is sufficient evi dence to convict the Celestial Empire of murder, rapine and trickery. It is plain ly stated that ten battalions of Chinese troops are doing tne sneinng. inese are far from being Boxers. The whole truth will certainly be known within the week." The Xavv Department has received ad vices that the Buffalo has arrived at Ta ku with 400 seamen. The Iris has ar rived nt Shanghai and the I Vi nee ton is reiKrtcd at Hong Kong. The arrival of ien. L-nane at Jflku Saturday has brought new hope to gov ernment officials, and it is now known that immediate notion will result. A re port on the situation is expected before tomorrow. The situation fodSTW regarded by the officials as being more serious and com nlicated than ever before and it is be lieved that 'the present strain cannot last longer than the present week. The War Department today Issued or ders foy two batteries of Sight artillery to proceed ta Taku at once. Those se lected are Battery M, Seventh Artillery, stationed t Washington barracks in this city, and battery C, .Seventh ArtiUery, stationed at Fort Anams, R, I.

READY FOR A FORCE BILL 0 Fox Person Wants Bayonets at the Ballot Box Claims to Be a Populist and Will Vote for IflcKinley Not Ashamed of Voting for Abe ITHOj dleton Hendersonville, N.C, July 30. Spe cial. The following statement was given out "today by ex-Judge H. G. Ewart: "When Dr. Thompson says that under this arrangement we have the united force of the Republican members of the legislature for Senator Butler's return to the United States Senate he tells what he must know to be a wilful and deliberate falsehood. With the possible exception of Virgil Lusk of Buncombe, a notorious cat's-pay and- lickspittle of Marion Butler, 'not a solitary nominee of the Republican party for the general assembly in Western North Carolina or the Piedmont belt will, vote for Butler's re-election. If Mr. Holton has entered into any such disreputable and corrupt compact to deliver icne votes of Repub licans jo the 'infamous and damnable scoundrel who now misrepresents the people ot Aorta Carolina in. the United States Senate he has undertaken to de liver goods thit he-will find himself un abl to deliver. Judge Blythe, Repub lican nominee in this county, indignantly repudiates this alleged agreement and declares that no emergency could arise which, would induce him to cast a vote for Butler. 1 am assured this is the feeling all through the Wt "where But ler is everywhere regarded as a knave and traitor. , "Thompson's lfetter is a most asinine production and will lose the party thou sands of voters an the State. The absurd declaration that, he favors and that republican representatives will favor a constitutional amendment to forever dis qualify the negroes from holding any of fice in this State is an insult to every black voter in the State, and any negro who would vo'te for Thompson after such a declaration deserves disfranchise ment. It would be proof positive of his inability to cast an intelligent vote. Another remarkable admission is the admission in his letter: it eannot be ex pected that a very large number off the members of the Legislature will come from the east at this election, and that members opposed. . to . the . Sinimons ma chine must . come from the central and western (ipoitions of the State.'. In other words, an those counties where the nau seous plant , of Populist has its rankest growth and where the negro Republican vote as to be protected by stalwart But ler, it is now atlmitted that they are powerless to protect the ballot ibox, and that white Republican Toters in the western and Piedmont sections must elect representatives who will vote for the infamous Butler in return for the inestimable privilege (?) and high honor (V).of having the entire Republi can ticket monopolized by Populists ot the Thompson-Butler stripe. With won derful magnanimity they have actually given ns three places on the entire State ticket. For this great, honor let us get donvn on our bellies in the dus't and de voutly thank :the magnanimous and gen erous hearted Butler. "As a lawyer I believe the constitu tional amendment to . be in violation of the provisions of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and that it will so be declared iby the courts of Jast re sort. I am a Republican and shall vote for Walser, Adams and Reynolds, the Republican representatives on our ticket, and I shall certainly seratoh the oaorie of every Populist on the ticket and advise Republicans all over the State todo the same thing. Decent and self-respecting Republicans are getting a "trifle wearied over this constant dickering and trading with such political vermin as Butler and his 'like, and the result must be dis astrous. Every senslbtle man in the State knows that there is only a shadow of the Populist party off 1894 and that we are dealing with an organization ' that exists only in name. Butler has never intended that lhoanrpson should make the .gubernatorial fight to the finish. A 'stand-up and count' of the populist vote in the State is the last thing in this world that, this political mountebank wants. What he needs and should have in the near f uture as a good coat of tar and feathers instead ox a re-election to the Senate, and it should be .given him by the negroes of the State whose vote put him .where he as .and w.hrnn he now. twith signal ingratitude, iwants forever disfranchised. "The foregoing interview is authentic and authorized by nie.a EWART." Crawford are speaking, while hundred of others who formed the procession; are searching through the negro section for a negro who shot a white man whilo the procession was passing South Main' street on its return to the square.
