WILL NOT INTERFERE. Japan Will Make No Opposition to the Proposed Landinr-j-Russia's Action in Regard to Its Minister ia Pekin a Great Surprise. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, August 11. It is stated officially to-night that this government will pay no attention whatever to the latest appeal from China transmitted in the prm of a memorial from the Southern viceroys, begging the United States to use its influence against the landing of British troops in the Yangtse valley.

This memorial was transmitted to the State Department this morning by the Chinese Minister Wu. It urged upon this government the serious consequences that would follow the landing of a British force at Shanghai and represented that the preparations already had induced a panic among the resident Chinese and would paralyze commercial activity in that part of the empire almost as much as a formal declaration of war by Great Britain, i This govern men decided, however, that n6t only would it be entirely out of its province to interfere with the British programme in nhina. which was ibeinir carried for ward by Admiral Seymour on the ground with the knowledge of local conditions, but in view of China's present recalcitrant attitude and the lack, up to date, of an acknowledgement of our latest 'demand con cerning the safety or our minister, the United States not in clined to shoulder any office in the troubles with Great Britain or any of the other powers. Conse auenUv. the appeal of the viceroys will be It is possible that the communication ram Minister Wu may be turned over to the British government for its information, on the general friendly principle that has been adopted by the powers of keeping each other informed of the various developments in the situation.

Even, this step, however, has not been decided on yet, and will be left to the judgment of the President. No Opposition by Japan. In connection with the proposed landing of Admiral Seymour's force, it may be said that the report of Japan's opposition to this move is without any official confirmation here. The Japanese minister, in general con versation, when the subject was first broached, said that he had no information of any protest having been en tered by Japan. 'What developments subsequent events might bring, it was impossible for him to say.

It may be said, however, aside from Minister Takahira's statement, that Japan has up to date displayed no jealousy of Great Britain in the Chinese campaign. Japan herself, it has been announced semi-omcially, has no colonial ambi tions, i Incidentally it may be said that the cordial relations: between Japan and the United States, aside from her parti cipation in the British and American advance on Peitsang, has been shown in her reply to the State Department 's advices concerning our last note to China. This note was transmitted for information to Japan as well as the other powers 1 interested and the Japanese government promptly acknowledged its receipt and indicated its friendly approval of the stand taken by the United States. While this acknowledgement was a mere official courtesy, Japan is the ouly one of the powers no far to give formal expression of its concurrence in the action of the United mates. Surprise- at! Russia's Action.

The action of the Bussian govern ment in authorizing M. de Giers to start from Pekin for Tien Tsin jinder escort, cause no' little concern and much surprise in official circles here. as diametically opposed to the course of the other governments, although there is no disposition to question the faith which has inspired it. The of ficials say its only effect is to leave AL de Giers to act independently and upon his own discretion. If he de termines to leave Pekin with a Chinese guard and succeeds in getting through to lien Tain, it at least will be demonstrated that this course is less hazard ous than has been supposed.

The pos ition of the United States is unchanged. however, in declining to entertain the idea of allowing i Minister Conger to leave under Uhinese escort. The official information from the seat of war made public by this government to-day was a dispatch from Con sul McWade at Canton, communicating an additional message from Minister Conger to the State Department, and a very brief dispatch from Admiral Bemey repeating some information from General Chaffee on the Der ations at Yang Tsun.

St. Lonis, and Colnmbus, Ohio. By Telegraph to the Morning star.

Columbus, Ohio, August' 1L A daring murder and robbery was com mitted on the Pennsylvania railroad's passenger train No. 8, which arrived here from St Louis at 11:40 last Charles Lene, an Adams Express messenger, formerly of SL Louis but recently of Columbus, was shot and killed bhortly before the tram reached the union station in this city, and the "local" safe was robbed of all the money and valuables which it contained. The safe robbed contained only the packages of money and valuables collected after the strain left St. Loufe, and the officials of the Express company insist that the sum was not large. All the money forwarded from St.

Louis and points west was in a sealed safe which was not disturbed by the robbers, probably for the reason that they did not have time. The crime was not discovered until the train pulled into the union station here. Lane's body was found to have been riddled with bullets and there were evidences that a struggle had taken place. The robbers had taken the key to the local safe from the messenger's nocket, onened the safe and looted it of everything of probable value. The key was left in the safe door.

The messenger's revolver, with two chambers empty, was found in the safe, where it had probably been laid by the robbers alter being wrenched from his hands. The entire local detective force, the detectives from both East and West all railroad and express officials as well as the police 'departments within fifty miles, are using their utmost endeavors to capture the men, of whom there are supposed to have been two. The only bit of light thrown on the affair is by John Fletcher, baggage master on the train, who occupied the car directly in the rear of the one in which the murder occurred. As a re suit of his narrative the police are looking for four persons of whom they have slight descriptions. None of these has been located.

New York, August 1L With his face bruised and discolored, his right eye almost closed 'and his nose flat tened Ruhlin walked about his training quarters at Bay Ridge today, wondering how it all happened. The big Ohio fighter appeared to be auite weak.

In spite of his appear ance, Ruhlin said he felt all right, an.d in the same breath expressed a desire for another bout with Fitzsimmons. After leaving the Garden Ruhlin was taken to a Turkish bath establish ment While there he became uncon scious, due to loss of blood and the extreme heat His condition for a time was critical. Ruhlin 's collapse in the bathing establishment gave rise to many sensational rumors. One of these was that Ruhlin had died as the result of the injuries sustained in the battle. Although it is true that Ruhlin was very ill for several hours, his life was never despaired of.

He came around in good shape about seven o'clock this morning and left for the home of his manager, Billy at Bay Ridge. There he spent the day. James J.

By Cable to the Morning Star. London, August 21, 4 A. M. The only news last night relative to the advance on Pekin was found in a belated Tokio dispatch of August 9th, according to which, after the." capture of Yang Tsun on August 6th, it was arranged that two battalions of Japanese infantry, a squadron of cavalry, a battery mounted artillery and a company of engineers; should march, on August 7, in advance of the main body of allies and occupy Tsai Tsun five miles north of Yang Tsung.

GERMAN VIEW OF THE SITUATION IN CHINA. No Adfaace Upoa PeUn With Present Forces Opposition to the Apparent Deslffls of Great Britain. Specltl fierlln Tetter, Copyrighted 1900 by the Associated Press. 1 Beelik, August 11. The belief still prevails here that the allied forces have! not undertaken the Pekin advance, and that the recent actions at Peitsang and Yanjr Tsun were solely meant to secure the strategic tenure of Tien Tsin against the Chinese troops sent from Pekin or from the south, as Yang Tsun dominates both railroad and river communication.

The military authorities here also maintain that an advance upon Pekin with the present forces, and lacking an officer in chief command, would be equivalent to failure and enormous losses. The Foreign Office wholly distrusts the reliability of the news that Li Hung Hhantr has been empowered to neeo tiate for peace, and the German press' coincides in that view. Tho news received here that the-United States is satisfied with the appointment of Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee to the chief command of the allied forces has created deep satisfaction, as, for a time, it was feared the United States might with Great Britain object, thus frustrating military harmony. The news cabled here that the United States is now desirous of bringing about a clear diplomatic understanding regarding the intended extent of tho expedition is received by the Foreign Office favorably, since the aims of the United States, the re-establishment of order, the awarding of damages to Americans for injury, and guarantees against recurrence of similar events, tally precisely, so the Foreign Office declares, with the German programme. It is here surmised, however, that such diplomatic negotiations will not meet the appro bation of Great Britain and Russia, enormous.

sacrifices in men and money owing to the Chinese troubles seem indeed worth some equivalents. Regarding Great Britain's apparent designs upon the Yangtse Valley, particularly Shanghai, Germany will not allow their realization, and in this France' supports Germany and. It is hoped here, the United States will also do so, since such action contravenes the open-door policy. Germany, before long, will have a good sized force in Shanghai to checkmate single-handed the British schemes there. The correspondent of the Associated Press hears that a brigade of five thousand men is now moving and will proceed to Shanghai for that purpose and to protect German commercial interests valley, notably at HanjoL in -the Yangtse Shanghai and The German press comment anent the present situation is varied.

The LokcU Anzeiger deems it probable that Field Marshal Von Waldersee will not be bedded in roses in China, owing partly to the manifest lack.of harmony among the powers, even at this early stage, and it believes before long quarrels will arise between Russia and Japan, France and Great Britain, and the United States and Germany. It points out that the main differences between the powers are "not of a military, but a commercial character." COUNT VON WALDERSEE. All the Powers Approve Appointment to Command Allied Forces. By Cable to the Morning star. Berlin, August 11.

Great Britain, the United States and Japan have now approved the appointment of Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee as commander-in-chief of the allied forces in China; the United States and Japan unreservedly and Great Britain conditionally on all the other powers agreeing to the appointment- This condition has practically been fulfilled. The Kolnische Zeitung, at Cologne, is authority for the statement that the Mikado has wired Emperor William, expressing a willingness to place the Japanese troops under the command of Count Von Waldersee.

Joe Wheeler's Address at the Uni versity of Chicaro A Srroar, Plea for a Standing Army.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago, August 11. Gen. Joseph Wheeler made a strong plea for the standing army in his convocation ad dress at the University of Chicago yesterday. He declared that the only security for peace was to be always prepared for war.

At the close of the address, General Wheeler was cheered by the students, many of whom are from the Southern States, and when the University band struck up "Dixie," the enthusiasm reached a nigh pitch. General Wheeler's topic was "Our Pacific Possessions." He briefly traced the history and development of the islands recently acquired oy.the United States and gave the results of his own observation as to the resources and possibilities of our new dependencies. He said the destiny of the human race was to be guided in the future largely by the government of the United States. "I was glad to learn," said General Wheeler, "that there are gentlemen here studying with a view of permanently exercising their profession as teachers in the islands of the Pacific. "They will find there bright, anx ious pupils.

There is much in the peo -pie of the Pacific islands to be commended. "My observations among these people and those of China forcibly im pressed upon me the importance in all institutions of learningfcf a full measure of effort for installing a spirit of chiy airy and patriotic devotion. It was to keep that spirit fresh and strong that Alabama enacted the law that the national flag should float over every school house in the State. 'The enjoyment of peace is a blessed boon to humanity, but the history of the world from its earliest periods teaches that the only security for peace is to be always prepared and ready to engage in war. That nation whose people are ready to respond to a call to arms with men and resources for any emergency ia the one that shall most certainly be able to avoid the desolation and horrors of war.

It matters little how great its wealth, its excellence in literature and science and art a nation unprepared and indisposed to battle in its defence forfeits the respect of the world. "We are now a great world power, the destiny of the human race is in the future to be largely guided by the influence exerted by this government. This should be impressed upon the rising generation, and the memory of the flag of our country floating over the school house, and songs breathing patriotic devotion within its walls, should be indelibly connected with the first impressions of the youth of our land."

Bryan's visit to Chicago has practically i resulted in an understanding that he will travel almost as much during tho present campaign as he did in 1896," The first inclination on his part was to' avoid the making of many speeches this year, but there has been such general pressure that it is understood that he is now inclined to yield and to visit many parts of the country No positive promises for participation in the campaign have been made for other States than New York, but the probabilities are that he will go from that State to Maryland, where there appears to be great anxiety for his appearance! After that time he is likely to make quite a general tour of the North' Mississippi valley States, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Min nesota, etc. No authorized statement has been given out to this effect, but there is no doubt that this is the present tendency, and, indeed, the plan is practically decided upon.

In New York, it is expected that Mr, Bryan will speak only in the larger cities The Silver Republicans originally expected to notify Mr. Bryan of their nomination of him for the presidency at the same time that the Populists make their notification at Topeka, Ks August 23d, but this purpose has been changed.

WASHINGTON THE WARMEST. Official Thermometer at -the Weather Bureau Recorded 101 Derxees Six Deaths and Many Prostrations from Heat la Chicato. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. New Yobk, August 11. Death reaped a harvest today from New York's humanity.

At least thirty-three persons died in this city and vicinity, thirty of them from prostration and three children from falling from fire escapes on which they had crowded to get seme relief from the torturing heat1 All in all it is the hottest continuous weather New York has ever had. Forecaster Emery said to-day that it surpassed in the aggreate the record of the 1896 hot spell. The Weather Bureau thermometer reached 95 at 2 P. M. and registered the same figures an hour later.

This is many degrees cooler than the people werabubjected to on the streets. Thousands hurried to the nearest cars and boats for the sea shore. Then there were many who began their vacations, and trans-steamboats were filled rapidly. The sound steamers had sold out all their berths in the day and to-night many passengers were forced to sleep on mattress1-s strewed in the cabins. The streets leading to a cooling exit from New York were crowded and expressmen were overwhelmed with baggage.

It was the busiest Saturday of the season. The recreation piers were packed but they gave little relief. The keeper of an East river pier said that the thermometer there had registered 102 during the day, and that at 7.30 this evening it was 92. Not a rustle of a bretze could be detected. The greatest suffer! ers were the little ones and the reports from the Bellevue dispensary told of the straggles of the poor.

The outdoor poor department was overtaxed also, there being twenty five applications a day from mothers to have their. children taken to Randall's is-latid. The suffering among animals was plainly evident Many horses fell; some to die, others to stagger to their feet and go weakly on. Fire Chief Crok-er's orders that hose should be put on tap in front of all fire engine nouses saved many horses from sun -stroke. Washiarton the Hottest i WaSHTNOTON, August 11.

Washington was the hottest city in the United States to-day. For the first time since August 13th, 1882 nineteen years ago the official thermometer at the Weather Bureau registered 101, and the I private street thermometers reached several degrees higher. The eleven days of the present month have been warmer than the first half of August; 1896, when the terrific heat made a record here in the number of fatalities. Torrid Spell ia Chicato. Chicago, August 11.

Six deaths here were due to the heat to-day, the eighth day of the torrid spell and there were 25 prostrations, three of which will prove fatal. A small shower in the afternoon sent the mercury down to 80 for a short time. The second time it remained at 80, but the Weather man says it will pass 90 again Cooler In Wisconsin. Milwaukee, August 1L The Weather Bureau reported a tempera ture of 71 degrees after a cooling shower. This is a decrease from the maximum of the day of 19 degrees and is the lowest registered in over a weex.

All Bids for Armor Plate Turned Down by the Navy Departmeat Another Chance for the Bidder By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, August VL The Navy Department this afternoon de cided to reject all bids for armor plate presented to the department yesterday. It ia stated at the department that this does not mean that the alternative plan of erecting a government armor plate factory will be adopted, although the Secretary of the Navy has at his disposal $4,000,000 with which to start such a plant in case satisfactory terms cannot be made with private manufacturers.

It is stated to day that new advertisements will be issued as speed ily as possible and the contractors will be given another chance to put their bids in such shape as will be acceptable to the government The reason assigned for the rejection of bids is the demand from all the bidders for too large a proportion of the entire amount of armor plate. The lowest bidder, the Midvale Steel -Company, was not satisfied to accept less than 20,000 tons of the 36,000 tons to be contracted Tor. At the rate of delivery proposed by 'the Midvale company the government could not have gotten its armor to complete the ships now in course of construction within a reasonable time. The other two bidders, the Bethle hem and Carnegie companies, were. mucn nigher in their figures, and insisted on having the whole amount of armor divided between them on equal terms.

The action of the government in promptly rejecting the bids is taken to indicate a determination to bring the contractors to reasonable terms. On the other hand it is said by some of the officials in the department that the government probably will be willing to make considerable concessions before adopting- the serious alternative of establishing a plant of its own.
