GLADSTONE QUITS
THE LIBERAL PARTY;
LEADERS DISGUSTED
Efforts of the Imperialists to
Control Results In Its
Dismemberment.
AMERICANS IN LONDON
Lady Randolph Thurohill’s Marrlagb.
She Is Now Plain Mrs. West When
Presented to the Queen General
Grosvenor and Other Statesmen
Abroad—Other London Gossip.
London, July 38. —Almost as remark
able as the breakdown of long estab
-1 lished, social customs before tho tropical
wave is tho breakup of the Liberal party.
Wore a general election far distant the
conditions of tho Liberal party would be
serious, but in view of tho fact that the
county is face to face with dissolution
the situation seems hopeless. The forma
tion of a third party is generally consid
ered almost inevitable, as the result of
the Internal dissensions now ruling in
the Liberal ranks. Tho imperialists
have thrown off tho mask and demanded
control of the party, maintaining that
by number and influence they are en
titled to dictate its policy. In this they
are opposed by the “forwards,’’ or anti
imperialist Liberals, with a vigor and
bitterness that can only be compared to
the acerbity with whicn the Gladstoni
ans assailed the Liberal unionists when
homo rule brought tho parting of the
ways. . _
It is scarcely possible that Sir Camp
bell-Bannerman should throw up his
thankless task, but that only repre
sents a minor feature of the situation.
The Liberal whip, Alexander MacAr
thur, member for Leicester, has openly
thrown off all allegiance by voting with
tho government, an almost unprece
dented action of one holding such a po
sition. Herbert Gladstone, the chief
whip, is on tho point of resigning to
show disgust with what ho believes to
bo tho disloyalty of Sir Edward Grey
and others who follow him.
Meanwhile the imperialist section has
demanded that Sir Edward Grey as
sume the leadership, which would be
another way of bringing Lord Rosebery
back into active political life.
American Statesmen In London.
London, July 28.—Four members of
tho ways and moans committee of the
United States house of representatives
were in London this week. Sereno
Payne and Congressman Charles H.
Grosvenor of Ohio, G. A. Steele of In
diana and John Dalzell. All of these
gentlemen came in search of recreation.
General Grosvenor will return to tho
United States Aug. 12, in time to bo
present at the firing of tho opening gun
in tho campaign, at Lewiston, Me.
Payne, Steele and Dalzell have gone on
a trip through the country. They are
now at Oxford. They will make the
tour of Ireland before returning to the
United States Aug. 25.
West-Churchill Wedding.
London, July 28.—Anticipations of
tho West-Churchill wedding have
formed one of"the chief topics in society
this week. The luring question is
whether Lady Randolph Churchill will
retain that name or be known as Mrs.
West. It appears that everywhere ex
cept at court she may retain her present
name, but when presented to tho queen
It must bo as plain Mrs. West. By her
remarriage she forfeits none of tho for
tune loft by her first husband, which
chiefly consists in a life interest in SBO,-
000. This at her death goes to her sons,
Winston Spencer Churchill and John
Churchill, in such portions as Lady
Randolph pleases.
Married at St. Paul’s.
London, July 28.—Lady Randolph
Churchill (nee Jerome) was married to
Lieutenant George Cornwallis-West at
St. Paul’s ohureb, Knight’s bridge, to
day. Tho church was thronged with
handsomely dressed women. There was
no restriction upon the number admit
ted to tho ohurch to witness the cere
mony.

Washington, July 28.—Tho customs

credited to customs receipts; $33,066 to

ASSURANCES OF THE
FOREIGNERS' SAFETY
Dispatch Either From Yuan
or Li Hung Chang.
ARE OF CHINESE ORIGIN
Notwithstanding Their Source Secre
tary Hay Is Again Hopeful—Latest
Statements Have a Tendency to Dis
pel the Pessimistic Feeling.
Washington, July 28.—Coming from
three separate quarters the assurance
that the foreign ministers at Peking
were alive and well on July 14 had the
tendency to dissipate the pessimistic
view which the state department has
been taking for the last few days as to
the situation in Peking. It is true that
a comparison of the various edicts and
statements bearing on this subject ap
pear to demonstrate the fact that they
all came from one fountain head, either
Yuan Shih Ki or Li Hung Chang.
But the persistence with which the
stories of the safety of the ministers are
circulated undoubtedly is shaking the
belief of those who had heretofore been
satisfied that all the ministers in Peking
were dead.
Assurances have come from Mr. Fow
ler, the American consul at Che Foo;
from Mr. Me Wade, the American consul
at Canton, and from Minister Wu, the
Chinese minister hero. The latter came
to the state department early expressly
to deliver an edict received by him to
Secretary Hay. It is similar in form to
the edict published in London. The
minister says that the only differences
arc those involved in separate transla
tions. Mr. Wu’s translation of Sheng’s
dispatch is as follows:
“Fortunately all ministers, except
Baron Von Ketteler, are alive and un
harmed. They are now being supplied
with vegetables, fruits and provisions
by the government to show its sympa
thy for them.”
If Mr. Wu had any doubt as to the
safety of the ministers it seems to havo
dissipated by this edict. He labored
earnestly with Secretary Hay to con
vince him that he was bound to accept
this official declaration of the Chinese
government. In making the statement
touching the ministers the Chinese gov
ernment assumed a serious responsibil
ity to the world at largo. He declared
that it could not be conceived that such
responsibility would bo lightly assumed,
and therefore did not hesitate to assert
his positive personal conviction that the
ministers were alive on July 24.
When his attention was called to the
apparent failure of Yuan Shi Kai to ac
cede to Consul Fowler’s request.that the
allied admirals be put into communica
tion with the ministers Mr. Wu
shrugged his shoulders in a deprecatory
manner and merely replied that Chinese
were so different from other people that
usual tests could not bo applied to them;
it would not be possible to predict what
they would do under conditions that
would bo easily met by Europeans or
Americans. It was possible, he added,
that Yuan was undertaking to do what
the admirals wished, only it would be
first necessary for him to consult the
Peking authorities and that weald take
time. He could not say when an an
swer could be expected from his last
message to Conger.
A dispatch from Consul Fowler cor J
veying assurances from Yuan Shih Ki,
the governor of Shan Tung, that the for
eign ministers were well on July 20 and
had been provisioned, in connection that
the constantly reiterated assurances
from other Chinese sources of the safety
of the ministers, have raised anew the
theory at the state department which is
being speculated on. The assurances
have been given in answer to a repeated
demand of the various European gov
ernments that they bo placed in commu
nication with their ministers and the
last assurance of Yuan was in answer to
the specific demand of the foreign ad
mirals for direct communication. Yuan’s
announcement that the imperial govern
ment at Peking not only asserts the
safety of the ministers, but declares
that they havo been provisioned, if ac
cepted as true, this indicates that the
ministers havo been communicated
with. The inquiry then naturally arises:
“If the ministers havo boon provis
ioned why doos not the Chinese govern
ment, knowing as it does that the whole
world is demanding a direct message
from the besieged logationers, allow
them to communicate with thoir gov
ernments? Why not furnish direct and
unequivocal evidence of the safety of
the ministers instead of this repetition
of an assurance which the world hesi
tates to accept?”
The failure to pursue the direct meth
od which must be available tends almost
irrespectively to the suspicion that some
thing has happened in Peking which
the Chinese government desires to con
ceal from the powers; that it is of raid
to allow the true story to be revealed
until some sort of terms havo boon made
with the powers, which ore waiting at
the gates of the empire. Just what
that something is furnishes a fruitful
theme for speculation, but no satisfac
tory conclusion can be reached until the
forces enter Poking or tho logationers
arrive at Tien Tsin.
Troops Sall For China.
San Francisco, July 28.—The trans
port Hancock has sailed for Taku via
Nagasaki. She carried 500 marines, a
battery of artillery and a number of

Shanghai, July 28. A Russian
banker, who left Peking July 7 and ar
rived at Shanghai Wednesday, July 25,
says that when he left Peking all the
legations had been destroyed and all
the foreigners murdered. The minis
ters, seeing death was inevitable, shot
their families.
Sir Robert Hart, the banker adds,
committed suicide in despair.
Investigations prove this information
is reliable. The banker in question has
gone to Chemulpo. His friends will not
disclose his name fearing that to do so
would cause him to lose his head.
The manager of the Russian bank of
Shanghai has received a letter from thq
bank’s New Chwang branch stating
that one of their Chinese representa
tives from Peking, who has just ar
rived, confirmed the report of tho Po
king massacre. He states that all the

* Ministers Reported Well.
Washington, July 28.—Tho secretary
of state has received a dispatch from
Mr. Fowler, the American consul at Oho
Foo, dated at midnight July 28.
“This morning, by request of the al
lied admirals, I wired the governor (sup
posed to be the governor of Shan Tung)
their wish to get nows from ministers
themselves. Tho governor now replies:
“ ‘Haye received edict from emperor
saying that tho ministers are well. They
are sending provisions to tho legations.
Am confident ministers out of distress
and safe. ’
“Transmit this preliminary announce
ment to admirals. Yuan, Governor.”
A later dispatch, dated July 27, to the
state department, is as follows:
“Telegram from governor, have dis
patched imperial edict July 24, saying
ministers, excepting Germans, are well,
and some days ago had supplied provis
ions to legations. Am satisfied minis
ters out of distress. Yuan, Governor. ’ ’
Secretary Hay has received a message
from Hong-Kong statipg that Viceroy
Tak assures that the ministers were all
alive and well on July 24.
Li Hung Chang’s Statement.
Shanghai, July 28.—Li Hung Chang
makes the following statement:
“Pekin reports ministers alive. Safety
assured. Allied forces entrance Peking
unnecessary.”
The statement is in answer to a mes
sage received throe days ago by the vice
roy asking for a statement as to the
safety of the foreigners.
Imperial Edict at Paris.
Paris, July 28.—Tho Chinese minister
at Paris, Yu Kong, has received the fol
lowing imperial decree, dated July 24:
“The foreign ministers are happily at
present safe and sound, except Ketteler.
Wo are having tho foreign legations
supplied with provisions and fruits as a
token of the interest we feel in them.”
DISCREDIT THeT REPORTS.
British Refuse to Accept Chinese As
surances of Safety.
London, July 28. statement ca
bled from Washington that officials
there aro wavering with regard to tho
reliability of tho alleged message from
Minister Conger and Wu Ting Fang’s
assurances has had a markedly depress
ing effect on this side of the ocean,
whore many have been buoyed up by
the sanguine views of tho state depart
ment at Washington regarding tho va
rious Shanghai dispatches, and pessim
ism is again maintaining tho ascend
ancy.
No change in the general situation, is
tho message coming from the British
consul at Shanghai to overwrought Eu
rope, while another assorts that a wesk
has elapsed without a reply to the coh
sul’s message to.the British minister at
Peking, Sir Claude MacDonald, through
tho tsung li yamcn, the belief is con
firmed that assurances of Chinese offi
cialdom are only designed to gain time
and that even if the ministers are alive
they are hold as hostages.
The report comes from Shanghai that
business nos been resumed at th® port
of New Chwang and that a seoond
Japanese division is mobilizing a Tokio,
preparatory to embarkation for China.
Through a Yokohama dispatch tho
government has received information
that the Chinese attacked a body of Jap
anese and Koreans in the vicinity of
An-Tong (on tho north side of the Yalu
river). Refugees had arrived at Wiju.
Japanese reinforcements wore proceed
ing to tho scone of conflict.
The latest news received at St. Pe
tersburg from Blagovestchensk was
dated July 23. The Russian garrison
had boon resupplied with ammunition
and would be able to hold out until re
inforced.
The Chinese legation here reiterates
the assertion that the ministers are en
route to Tien Tsin.
