Appeals to the ITnited States to Take a Hand. DISCLAIM A STATE OF WAR.i Favorable action Probable on Con dition of Conner's Safety. OEFICIALS WILL NOT DISCUSS THE MATTER YET. Army Fetiring on Pekin Like an Angry Mob Small Hope for For eigners When it Reaches the Capitol. Washington, July 23. The ap peal of China to the United States Government to aot as mediator in the present crisis in the Celestia Empire was the main topic of inter est it: department circles today, and it is regarded as certain that the message will be considered favorably if the Chinese officials evin3e a dis position to act fairly and will give some certain assurance as to the safety of Minister Conger, either be conveying him to Trku and placing him on board one of Admiral Kemey's vessels or by procuring an indisput able dispatch from hin, showing him to be alive. These are the terms upon which the United States will consent to become, in conjunction with France, the peace maker for China. The State Department has not yet officially acknowledged the receipt of the message, but it is known that such a document signed by the em peror of China, was presented at the rally at cuNiNGHAM j GOVERNOR ELIAS CARR DEAD. 3 500 People Entertained by Cuning Died at His Home in Edgecombe BUSHY PORK; i- arrive there, thev will snrplv hp tortured to death. m 1 - . J. he destructions of lien Tsin and the killing of so many Chinese in capturing the city has thoroughly aroused the Uhinese troops and they cw.e iiuw nne a. moo. xne govern ment cannot hope to prevent mob rule in Pekin when the demoralized and wounded troops arrive there. It is the general belief here that it is now too late to help any foreigner in Pekin, for if any were alive at the time of the attack on Tien Tsin they will surely be massacred by a Chinese mob of civilians and soldiers before or when the retiring troops reach the capitol. A dispatch from St, Petersburg says that the "organ of trade and manufacture" reports that a Rusian force, guarding the Manchurian railway, is concentrating at Ljamli jan and the Chinese are withdrawing to Syndchau. On the approach of General Orloff, the Chiness withdrew from the Amur district at- Brusseva and Kimarskaja. There have been two encounters between the British and Chinese at Wei Hai Wei. The Chinese were repulsed after stubborn fighting. The British captured 200 rifles. Advices 'have been received in Paris from Hankow, stating that the Chinese rebellion is spreading in the provinces Honan and Hudeh. The ham, Webster, Biyant and Long. It was our pleasure to be with the County candidates at Cuningham yesterdav. Upon our arrival we were taken in hand by the Misses Cuningham; and to those who are acquainted with fcheae ladies know that there is nothing more to be said. For real, genuine old time Southern hospitality there is no place where it is dispensed with more lavish hands than in this beautiful home and by these beautiful and charming ladies. The first thing that greets the eye when you drive up is a large and magnificent flag that is blowing to the breeze 65 feet in the air bearing the inscription, "Bryan and Aycock." While the people were gathering the brass band from Boston made music. At 2 o'clock Col. Webster, who was introduced by Col. Cuning ham in a yery graceful manner, spoke for 50 minutes. He was fol lowed by Victor S, Bryant who spoke for an hour and a quarter. After hear ing these speakers if any man left opposed to the Amendment it was simply because he was so preju diced that he would not hear. After these speakers came the announcement of the various county candinates until our candidate for the Senate, Hon. J. A. Long was reached. He does not attempt oratory, but for a strong practical talker we bave seldom heard his equall He is perfectly at home with his subject and speaks with the power of conviction. Col. Cuningham had promised the speakers a good crowd and they were not disappointed. Fully '500, quite a number of whom were ladies, were jsent. The Col. was master of ceremonies and light well Sunday Morning. WAS SIXTY-ONE YEARS. OLD. Democrats Jubilant Good Rains I .1 I -,' I Other Notes. - !
