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.

Seventy-eight members were present.
Temi?or?rry Chairman Cooper called for
the report of the sub-committee on cre
dentials, and Lieutenant Governor Lyon,
chairman of the committee, reported in
favor of the Quay delegates in the First
and^ Fifth wflrds of Philadelphia, and
the delegates favorable to Quay in
Wyoming county. The report was adopt
ed and the State committee met again
at 11 o'clock tonight to hear the tinal
report on credentials.
With respect to the Philadelphia con
tests, tjjo (.committee found that dele
gates lieyerleln, Deputy Gray and
Fulmer, the Quay men, carried 21) jll
vlsioiw* of the First ward. As to the
VV yoiijtnt} ypn t eBt the committee found
that H. 1*. Northrop, the Masting del

ed last January to fill a vacancy In
Congress, and this 'was in violation ot
a .long standing .fwKf' of lite party,
itfnlch provides that delegates to State

Stym six months before the conv'eulng
of the convention . .
At a conference of the Quay dele

1o the roll call. Of this number six
were bonteetant*,' Aye from Philadel

The coirvenrtjlon, which elects a State

and also chose a State treasurer and
six superior court judge candidates,
will meet^at.ll o'clock. The adminis

the opera house, the regular meeting
place, and whether the State commit
tee, a majority of whose 121 members
are favorable to Quay will decide to

Lieutenant Govefnor "^Lyon called the

Is one of Senator Quay's most ardent
supporters, was chosen with a "hur

vited to be present and addressed the
caucus as follows:
"I understand that a clear majority
of the delegates el<*s.ted to the State
convention are present. In that case,
the fight -that has been convulsing- Uie

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. *

1 1 Is four months yet before the an
nual election for city oilicers will take
place, and three months in advance;
of the time usually set for holding the
primary for nomination, but with a
suddenness that is a lively surprise to
many the political pot has already j
commenced to boll. Candida to? have !
made their appearance In tho field in !
elgnltloent bunches. ami In antlclpa- !
tlon of a short race arc preparing to
get away from tho post In a Jump.
The exposition Is the cause of tho i
previous oondltlon In local politics. 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.
Since the City Executive committee
caught on to the suggestion, it baa do- j
veloped that a new faction has ap-'j
po&red In city poll tlon, .and that this
faction has been at work orgnntzlng }
in every ward for weeks past In an- j
ticlpation of the early primary. Thin j
discovery has materially disconcerted i
tho old rounders, and thoy are In a j
quandary. At the first they partially t
committed themselves to tho early I
primary movement, and although |
they realize that the new-comers, with i
their four weeks organization in ad- j
vanco have them at an advantage j
they do not know Just how to got out j
of tho tangle. If thoy do not get out
of it, they are threatened almost as
sured with defeat before a ballot Ik
cast. All of which makes the meet
ing of the Executive committee to
morrow night n, matter of great inter
est to tho politics of the city.

Atlanta, Aug. -<>. ? (Special.)
The call for ^1 ho prohibition election
which the public tdven l?? under
stand last week when I he l~ o'clock

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
