Tminn-ll-Yitnipn SrinU n Represeu tlve ta ,jCv.O|i?Wt? With HUon. By Southern Associated Press. Washington, D. C., Aug. 27.? Minis ter Detiby has at last been heard from, cablegram being received from htm Acthig Secretary ^.dee today, In w+loh he states 111 response to a re-j quest made by him to the Tsung-11 Yebmu, Tootao-Ying has been sent (to & po-operate with Consul Hixson in the VV^jgvestlgatlon of the ICu Cheng riots. TpPhe rank of the oomml? loner, who is " aq Intendant of.Circptt, Is by treaty, equal to that of the consul. It Is supposed at the department that j the name of the officer may have been j altered In transmission over the cable, and It Is possible that the name should be Hsu-Yung, a well known metropoli tan officer, who for many years wa*| vlc? president Of the board of works, , ' and has also been of late minister of) the Tsung-ll-Yameo. It i? stated at the department, that whether this Is] a mistake o4* pot. the person appointed appears from tys name to unquestion ably belong to the family of this well j known minister. The wording of Min ister Denby's cablegram leads the de partment to believe that the commls _ wtpner has been swtt from PeW?, and | the Inference is given out at the depart ment that' Minister I^enby lias given ample instructions to Consul Hixson, and that _he _ is _ enjoying all facilities I necessary to carry- out his Instructions] a* Ku Cheng. ? It does not appear from Mr! Denby's ] dispatch that he has succeeded In stiwightetiLnK out the complication caused by^ the refusal of th6 Chinese 4 official*^ (it Ku Cheng, to permit the] Amerfra.ii ' and British commissioners Vjp attend the inquify into the massacre. That is the most Interesting phase of the situation, and a speedy adjustment of It in favor of the,. joint commission Is desired. It is probable, however, that Taotal. sent to co-opeiate wltii Consul Hixson, will start a new .inves tigation In behalf of the General Gov ernment of Chlnn, thus superceding the officials who an? now making Inqui ry, presumably under authority of the viceroy "of'tho province.

THH lUUOMSUVa M1L1AIH Id NOW fttlTfUBIT ? Ui?* IMmuatr Win Alt* Me ?* rv?M?. Hy Southern Associated Pivtw . Washington, Aug. 81.~Tt?e of Johu L. Wuller. ex-consul for United States at Tamutlve, MadagattcHi*. and now In prison in France,' has umhuiiu>iI a phase that Justine* this Government in the belief that Waller's days of con finement are nearly ended and that he will soon be restored to liberty. It can be ststed on the highest authority that the only reason why Ambawador Kustls has not been Instructed to de mand Wallor's immediate reloase in that suoh a oourM mlarht wenkon the olMYn for Indemnity whloh the United States proposes to make against France for the confiscation of the rubber con cession In Madagascar. The Presi dent and Secretary Olney are now thoroughly satisfied that Waller's mili tary trial was not conducted In a pro per manner and that his conviction of the crime of treason was based on the flimsiest evidence. It will be a matter of a very short time, a few weeks perhaps, before Seoretary Olney will Instruct Ambas sador EustJ# to seoure Waller's re lease and make a claim for Indemnity against the French Government on ac count of the confiscation of his conces sion. Instructions were sent to Mr. Eustls Jtlly 81st, to press his emphatic request for a copy of the record of evidence on which the ex-consul was declared a felon. Mr. Rustis failed to secure the record, and on August 6th. further In structions* were sent him even more emphatic than the first communications recommending the ambassador to tell of his efforts to secure a copy of the record from the .French ministry for forelgu affairs and of 4i Is several vlsltn throughout the temporising policy pur sued by the authorities. After con siderable delay and repeated requests he has been furnished a copy of charges and specifications and of the sentence Imposed upon Waller. He theu re newed his demand f<*r?,a copy of the evidence and was at first told that It would be granted very soon as the re cord had been received in France. But, according to His latest advices to this Government, ?he tf'renoh ministry has told him, with that laick of consistency which appears to have marked the en tire negotiations that the record of evi dence Is in Madagascar and cannot be I furnished without great delay. The Btatementz-that this Government had done all'that could be done to bring the W*fler case to a speedy adjustment Is unquestionable. < The demand for Waller's release would toave been made this month if the State Department had not been ac tuated by a desire to obtain for him the Indemnity for the confiscation , of the rubber concession. According to the view taken by the President and Secretary Olney compliance with a demand for Waller's immediate re lease would praotloally have ended the case and left little ground for a claim for Indemnity. It Is the desire of the Government to make its efforts to se oure the freedom of Walle# Independ ent, of the intention to obtain lndemu|/ t y, aud thus make the French do Mil Justice to the Imprisoned man. *As matters now stand Waller's pros pects are very hopeful, artel his re lease Is assured, even if the indemnity fail to fbe forthcoming. * The amount of the ludemnity to be asked will be more than a million doll****. The exact sum cannot be as certained, but the probabilities are that It has not been determined upon. The report that Waller Is dying of con sumption in prison is giving the State Department some uneasiness, but the information Is not believed to be strict ly accurate a? the latest letters from Waller said the chills and fever from which he suffered had left him and that hiM health was much improved.

I l^ast week Home one suggested that if would be a fine idea to hold .the prl- i m^ry before tho exposition opens, so the city might have nothing to detraot it from the big show once It opens up. j The idea quickly took bold of the poli ticians, and a meeting of tho City ]Qx-> ! ecutlve committee Ima boon called by | Chairman Kills for tomorrow night, i to determine tho question of early prl- j mary.

The call for ^1 ho prohibition election which the public tdven l?? under stand last week when I he l~ o'clock closing ordinance for the saloons was hanging lire In council, would he for mulated at the moellmf _bt' Methodist ministers today, did net materialize. Tht) ministers hold their meeting at Trinity church all right enough, but as their action Inst week in declaring that thoy would call a prohibition election was only a bluff to scare the council, there was nothing left for the political ly shrewd preachers to do hut to admit thojr bluff and pass onto other business. The resolutions declaring the postpone ment of the call for tho olectgrm was nof passed, however, without some friction. Several of the ministers wanted to say plainly that they hud postponed action because council had listened to their protest, but Dr. Ileldt, the leader in the game o"f bluiT, with his immed iate followers, made a hard kick on t his, declaring that it was nobody's business why the call wys put off, and finally he had his way. In order to show' the color of their polities, however, If was pro posed that the ministers endorse the eighteen councilmen who vntjtf to kill the proposed obnoxious 12 'clock law, but aB three of these ten are reported to regret their action TtTI* resolution was also killed.
