At any rate, that is the impression that has gone out since the conference. If it is not liill or Mr. Suler, the New York congressman, who is said to he so eager for the position, it may be Chas. A. Towue of Min nesota. A desperate state of affairs is revealed by the cablegrams from China. Some idea may be obtained from the following from Admiral Kempff at Chee Foo to the Washington authorities. It is ?b follows: "A rumor from Pekin reports legations are besieged; ' provisions nearly exhausted; sit uation desperate. German minister going to Tsung Li Yamen murdered by Chinese soldiers. American, Italian and Dutch le nations burned. Twenty thousand Chinese soldiers inside, thirty thousand outside of Pekin ; three inousanu reported bound tor Hen Tsin ; still fighting at Tien Tsin.

Chester, July 2.?Again Ches ler is caiied upon to mourn the death of one of her oldest, best and most highly respected citizens, Joseph Wylie is dead. lie passed to his eternal reward this . morning, surrounded by his faithful servants, his loving niece and a circle of his closest friends and business associates. He was in i ne it in year oi ins age and today closes a life that was full of hard work, industry and many noble, patriotic and benevolent deeds. Mr. Wylie was born in York county and at the age of 12 years he came to Lewisville, Chester county, where he first embarked in his chosen avocation, that of merchandizing. After clerking a number of years he went into business under the firm name of Wylie & Moffatt. Several years later the name of the firm was changed to Wylie & Roddy. Just after the war, having passed through the Confederacy as a pri vate, he came to Chester and entered business with Capt. Roddy, now of Rock Hill, and Capt C. J. L. Agurs of this city. The firm was soon changed to Wylie <fc Agurs, and in 1885 it was again changed to the present firm of Joseph Wylie Co. This firm Has done a most prosperous business since under the guidance of Mr. Wylie's wise and conservative direction. In 1890, largoly under liis influence, the Exchange bank was organized, and he was at once placed at its head as pres ident, which position he held until death. Mr, YVylie was a most successful business man, amassing in his lifetime a fortune amounting to >ver the ?100,000 mark. Of late he has been most liberal with his wordly goods. The public will remember his magnificent gift lome years ago of $8,000 to Era '<ine Theological seminary. Short ly after this ho gavo $7,500 to tie used in building a dormatory at Krakine college. This work is now completed and stands as a handsome monument to the generous donor. He hati always contributed lib- aha: orally to the endowment fund ot a an this institution as well as to all diti< charitable objects within his j-v? c reach. In 1897 when 1he Asso ' ciate Reformed Presbyterian hr t congregation of this city decided KHj? to build a new church. Mr. Wy wjjj lie presented them with a most Bhot suitable site and contributed most Hkyi liberally to the building fund. Not only has his immediate religious sect felt the blessings of his generous heart, but the city p, of his home has always received our its full share of his generosity. Only two years ago he presented \ i ik :? I. ~ ? * :r._ i ...? _ ? | viit-Biri wilii n uwii111 ill piece C)l mill property for a public park.

Wylio was a citizen whose freq death the whole State may justly [prfH( mourn. His influence for good ' and his noble deeds were felt in other sections ot tho State be sides Chester county. * His remair.j were interred in Kvergreen cemetery this after- gaj(] noon the funeral services being held from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, of which he was a devoted member.
