China Defines Her Position in a
Royal Decree.
TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT.
In it the Boxers are Charged
With Originating the Disturbances
Now Going
on in China
A dispatch from Washington says an
imperial decree dated third day of sixth
moon was recoivod by telegraph Wednesday
by Minister Wu, from the Taotai
of Shanghai, transmitted on July
1st from tho treasure of tho Chihli ropublio
who received it by speoial courier
on Juno 30 from tho board of war, who
in turn rcooivod it from tho privy oounoil
in Pekin. This dcoreo is as follows:
"Tho circumstances which led to the
oommenocmont of fighting between
Chineso and foreigners were of such a
complex, oonfusing and unfortunato
oharaoter as to bo entirely unexpected.
Our diplomatio representatives abroad,
owing to thoir abscnoo from the scene
of action, havo had no means of know
ing the true stato of things, and accordingly
cannot lay tho viows of thoir gov
crnraont before tho ministers of foreign
affairs of the rcspeotivo powers to which
s^thoy are accredited. Now wo take this
^portunitv of going fully into tho matwsr

' At /,r?'. the
foreign powers requested that foroign
troops bo Allowed to enter tho capital
for the protootion of tho legations. Tho
imperial govoromont, having in view
the comparative urgenoy of tho ocoa
siou, granted tho request, aH an extra
ordianary mark of courtesy bejond the
requiromcnts of international inter
oourso. Ovor 500 foreign troops wcro
sent to Pokin. This shows clearly how
much care China cxeroised in the maintenanoo
cf friendly relations with othor
countries. The legations at the capital
never had muoh ttrtfo with thopeoplo.
Hut from tho time following tho trooj s'
*** ?otering tho oity tho guards did uot devote
thcmsclvos exclusively to tho pro(eotion
of their respective legations.
J They sometimes lircd their guns on
/ top of tbo city walls, and sometimes
f patrolled tho streets everywhere.
There were repeated reports of persons
being hit by stray bullots. Moreover,
they strolled about tho oity without restraint,
and ovon attempted to enter
the Tung Hua gato (tho eastern gate of
the palaoc grounds ) They only dosisted
when admittauoo was positively
forbidden. Oa this aeoount both tho
soldiers and tho people wcro provoked
to resentment, and voioed their indignation
with ono accord.
"Lawless persons then took advantage
of tho situation to do uiischiof,
and becamo bolder than ever in burning
and killing Christian converts. The
Powers thereupon attempted to rein
foroo the foreign troops in Pekin, but
the reinforcements encountered resist
anoo and dofcat at the hands of the
insurgents on tho way and have not
yet been ablo to proceed. Tho in&urScnts
of tho provinces of Chihli and
han Tun had by this time effeoted a
complete union, and oould not bo separated.
The imperial government was
by no means rcluotant to issue ordors
for tho entiro suppression of this insurgent
element. Hut as the trouble
waH so near at band, thero was a great
tear that uuo protection might not bo
ausurod to tho legations, if tho auarohists
should bo driven to extremities,
thus bringing on a national calamity.
There also was a fear that uprisings
might oocur in the provices of Chihli
and Shan Tung at tho same time, with
the result that both foreign missionaries
and Chinese converts ia the two
proviooes might fall viotims to popular
fury. It was, therefore, absolutely necessary
to oonsidcr tho matter from overy
point of view.
"As a measure of prooaution it was
finally deoided to request tho foroign
ministers to retire temporarily to Tion
Tsin for safety. It was while the disousBion
of this proposition was in pro
greitfsJJ^at tno Herman minister, Karon
von Hette/*?/1, was assassinated by a
riotious mob <t>ne morning while on his
way to the tsung-li-yamon. On the
previous day the German minister had
written a letter appointing a time for
oalling at thetsung-li-yamen. Hut the
yamon, fearing he might be molested
on the way, did not oonsent to tho appointment
as suggested by the minister.
Since this Ooourrenoe the anarchists
assumed a jmoro bold and threatening
attitude ano consequently it was
deemed wise to Wry out the project
of sending the diplomatio oorps to Tien
Tsin under an esoort, However, orders
were issued to the troops detailed for
the protection of the legations to keep
striotcr watoh and take greater precaution
against any emergency.
"To our surpriso, on tho 20th day of
the fifth moon (Juno 16,) foreign
\naval) offioers at Taku oalled upon Lo
Jung Hwang, the general commanding,
and demanded his surrender of the
forts, notifying him that failing to receive
compliance they would at 2
o'olook the next day take steps to seise
the forts by foroe. Lo Jung Kwang
being bound by the duties of his offioe
jtfkr'
Ih
to bold the forts, tow oOuld ho Jrield lb
the demand? Oil the day naitffid thoV
actually first fi.rfctl upon the folds,
whioh responded and kept up a fighting
all day and tlion surrendered. Thus
the conflict of forces began, but cortainly
the initiative did not come from
our side.

conscious of her true condition, how

gago in war with all. tho powers simultaneously,
and how oould she, relying
upon tho support of an anarchistic
populace, go into war with tho powers?
Our position in this matter ought to
bo clearly understood by all the powers.
"Tho abovo is a statement of tho
wrongs wo havo suffered, and how
China was driven to tho unfortunato
position from which sho oould not es
capo.
"Our several ministers will mako
known accurately and in detail the
contents of this docrco and tho policy
of China to the ministers of foreign
affairs in their respective countries and
assuro them that tho military authorities
aro still enjoinod to afford protection
to tho legations as hitherto, to tho
utmost of their power. As for tho
anarchist, they will bo sovorcly doalt
with as circumstances permit.
"The several ministers will conlinuo
in tho disohargo of the dutios of their
oftioo as hitherto without hesitation or
doubt. This telegraphic dcerco to ho

These havo been combined in tho proportion

called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It digosts what you cat and allows all

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
What the Young Crops Are Doing in
this State.
Tho following is tho weekly bulletin
of tho condition of tho woathor and
orops of tho Htato issued last week by
Director iiauor of tho South Carolina
sootion of tho United States weather
bureau's weather aud crop sorvioo:
Tho wcok onding 8 a. m , .July Dth,
was extremely hot, with tho avorago
tomperntnre botween tivo and six doercos
higher than usual, and for the
tirst time this season the maximum
roso to 100 or above, while tho lowo&t
minimum was 07 degrees.
The rainfall was largoly local in oharaotor,
with many looalitios that had no
rain, whilo others had from a traoo to
nearly two iuohea. Tho hot sun dried
uplands rapidly, and nearly all correspondents
report red lands and olayoy
lands baked and hard to oultivato, and
that showers would prove bcncfioial on
such lands, whilo bottom land gonorally
aro still wet, and moro rain at this
timo would oauso further injury.
Farm work made rapid progress and
was in the main devotod to oloaning
itaplo orops of grass and weeds, sornowhat
to tho negloot of tho less impjrtant
crops. Much grass was killod, but
another full wcok of dry, hot woathor
is required to thoroughly rid the holds
:>f woods and to put crops into good
oondition.
Tho goneral condition of corn is improved,
but it is scalding on wot bottom
laods and firing on sandy lands to
i considerable) oxtont. Old corn is boing
rapidly laid by, whilo young corn
is vory grassy. Somo overflowed bot
toins being roplanted to oorn. Tho manuring
portion of tho orop needs rain.
Cotton fiolds that havo been oleanod
)f grass are doing well, but many ronain
grassy on whioh cotton is turning
yellow. Tho hot, dry weather was
favorable to cotton, and in general this
jrop is decidedly better than it waB last
weok. There is somo complaint of
:ust and blight, tho lattor most sororo
an sea island varioty. The plants aro
growing too much to woods in plaoos,
and in many instanoos aro not fruiting
well. A few looalitios reportootton
vory promising.
Wheat thrashing is now boing hurried
with continued hoavy yields, but
iomo grain is slightly damaged by rain
usually only tho top bundle of tho
shook.
Early rice is doing woll in all regions
except in tho upper Combahco whoro
rice is about ten days late and is not
nvn?
Tobaooo improved in most seotions
ind is a fine orop, with outtingand ouring
under way, but the bulk of it will
bo oured during tho coming wook.
Sweet potatoes, pastures, oane and
gardens aro promising. Melons are a
partial failuro. Many peaohes, grapes
ind other fruits rot as tho ripen. Figs
ind LeConte pears aro ripening. Vegetables
forlooal use are plentiful. Field
laborers are soaroe in many oountios.

Walt replied that ho was only 12 years
old when the war broko out, but he
plowod an old blind mule to mako bread
and meat for the soldiers, and two of
his brothers shed their blood iu the
oause. What had Gary and Patterson
and MoSwooney done for the old soldiers
whom they so profess to love?
Ho put tho laugh on Col. lloyt The
latter had admired Walt Whitman's
ability to fashion a now platform every
day, Walt said Col, lloyt had only
one, a miserable old thing. Ho would
not tackle Pattorson as the latter wss in
suoh a miserable fix already. MoSwec
ney was not here and ho oould not hit
him in the back as he is lame and sick
unto death anyway. Ho holpod out
Ilrooker in his oharges against tho tax
department of tho State. Ho was tired
of tho liquor question. Ho would rather
drink it than talk about it. (Laughter.)
Ho too hold a hand primary in
opposition to Col Hoyt'e and tho rosult
was that there were but three in the
audienuo who thus indicated that they
do not tako "boozo." Tho laugh was
on tho colonel.
Mr. Gary was received with somo demonstration.
Ho was glad that Pee
l>ce and Piedmont aro alike?progressive
and Btoadfast to tho landmarks of
Democraoy. He doolared that it was
falso that ho had tried to injeot partisan
politics into the campaign. Ho
had too many friends in all former factions.
A few days ago an editorial appeared
in a leading daily paper oalling
on tho peoplo to voto against him booauso
ho was a prominent Tillmanito.
He doprcoatcd this doparturo from tho
understanding among Democrats to obliterate
party lines. Ho himsolf had
kept tho faith. In public lifo ho had

tho day when froo liquor will oorno into

A Foolish Charge.
The Springfield ltepublioan says:
"One of tho odd things in this charge
that Mr. Bryan was responsible for the
ratification of tho Paris treaty is that
it leaves out of account Mr. MoKinley,
two thirds of tho United States senate
and tho sudden outbreak of war at Manila
the day before the vote was taken.
If Bryan had more to do with ratification
than thoso three forces, ho does
not need to bo inaugurated as prosident
of tho United States to run tho Amerioan
peoplo. He is, in that oase, the
biggest force in tho country already,
and ho ought to start 16 to I a-going
without boing elected."
