A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: It is frankly admitted in official cir cles that there have been no authentic advices from European sources in 18 days and that the last word was a cry of despair. The American demand for a message fromMinisterCongerisregarded as a di plomatic test of the good faith of the Chinese authorities, and a single word from him will have more weight than a thousand discredited messages from the viceroys. Press dispatches received yesterday were few in number and unimportant. The continental capitals have received a belated transcript message from the governor of Shan Tung stating that the foreigners at Pekin were active on July 5 and that the boxers were dispersing and also modified versions of the ac count of the crisis on June 24, previously cabled many times. Pessimists assert that the Chinese date of July 5 must be readjusted to the calendar and that it is in reality July 1. This is ominous, since it corresponds with the date assigned by Chinese rumors to the general massacre of the foreigners at Pekin. There is no immediate prospect of an advance upon Pekin and the combined forces lack unity of direction and con trol. There has been, without doubt, con siderable shrinkage of confidence in the defensive resources of the allied army at Tien Tsin. The Chinese forces are standing by their guns and serving them well and until the Terrible's la pounders were brought into use the ar tillery of the allies was outclassed. De tailed descriptions of the fighting are lacking but the foreign forces appear to be barely holding their ground and they may be compelled to fall back upon the seaboard if the navigaton of the river be interrupted and their supplies cut off. It is not probable that Sir Alfred Gaselee, who will arrive at Taku this month, will command the allied forces. He has the rank of brigadier general and has been 33 years in the British army, serving mainly in Abyssinia. Afghanistan and India. He will com mand the Indian troops, but a JaDanese or Russian general will have the direc tion of the entire allied forces. Sir Al- irea has the reputation of being a safe rather than a brilliant officer. The opinion crevails In militarv cir cles here that, apart from -the relays of aniiiery w men are already in motion for Cape Town for shioment to China there will not be an Immediate dispatch 01 troops irom outn Africa and that when several battalions can be spared by Lord Roberts they will be sent to India to take the place of the native regiments ordered to Taku. KANSAS NEWS, ; A Mystery at Last Cleared Up in Sedgwick County. Secret of the Genoways Family Conies to Light. THE IXSA3E MOTHER Detained in a Private Room For Twenty-eight Years.

The woman was -..-a ,Hr hv dnv bv members of the family, and at night she was attached to a chain to make sure tnat sne wouiu not wander away. The family kept the matter a secret as best they could. Occasionally, how ever, there would be rumors that a wo man was chained up in the house, and no one was ever allowed to see her. These reports would be carried to the ears of officers. People from that neigh borhood would come to the sheriff and probate judge and tell strange tales of what had been seen and heard. When the officers would investigate they would be put into the secret, and finding that the woman was as well off as in an asylum, and knowing that she was receiving such attention as only child ren and a husband can bestow, they al ways quieted the rumors by assuring the people that there was no ground for any excitement.. The children grew up and all finally married but one. This child, a daugh ter, stayed and helped her father take care of the mother. At last the father died, and the care of the mother and household duties combined were too, much for the lone daughter, btul she was unwilling to do different than had been done for 28 long years, and would not listen to the advice of friends who wanted the mother placed in the asy lum. She was Anally convinced that she alone was unable to care for her mother as she would be cared for at the asylum. The rest of the family toad scattered, and had household duties of their own which they could not well neglect, and the daughter finally con sented to have the mother taken to an asylum. ' " All through the east part of the coun ty there are many people w ho never un derstood the circumstances, and who thought there was some mystery con nected with the family. The mystery is now cleared, and now there is heard nothing but words of praise for the family which has shown such loyal de votion to the wife and mother for so many years. WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS.

Ex-President Would Not Be Sur prised if Bryan Carried Indiana. Helena, Mont., July 13. The Livlng tson (Mont.) Post, a copy of which has just been received here, says: "Ex-President Harrison and party came out of the Yellowstone Park last Friday evening and returned east that evening. The ex-president was seen by a Post man, and in response to an in quiry as to the political situation, gave it as his opinion that the Republican party would carry the election this fall, but admitted that Bryan would receive a heavier vote In the east this year than he did in 1896. He thought that the chances of the great Democratic leader in Indiana much better than they ever had been, and said it would not surprise him should the state go Democratic this fall. "The ex-president did not think that the Republican party had pursued the rightful course with regard to the trust question, and thought the administra tion was playing fast and loose with the people on the matter. He regards the administration, however, as having been a wise one for the most part, but ad mits that several grievous mistakes have been made in handling the reins of government."
