Soldiers Hissed. At 6:30 o'clock this morning Company C of Canton arrived in Akron under riot or- ders. The soldlers were met at the Val- ley Deépot by Mayor Young and a party of city officlals. They marched Imm diately to the scene of last night's rjot- ing. As the troops marched up the main thoroughfare hisses and groans were heard. | On the advice of his friends, Mayor Young sought his office by back streets and alleyways, as it was feared that his presence so early after the rioting would cause a fresh outbreak. At 9:20 nine companies of the Fourth | Regiment arrived in the city and marched to_the sceme of last night's Tioting. Shortly before 10 o'clock Mayor W. E. Young issued a proclamation, closing every saloon in Akron until further orders. Glenn Wade, the boy who was killed, was in the mob, and a bullet from the | revolver of a policeman In the City Hall | found his heart. Another innocent who will die is Rhoda Davidson. Sitting in a carriage with her mother and father, on | the outskirts of the mob, a bullet from a | policeman’s revolver passed harmlessly over the rioting throng and found lodg- ment in the skull of the child. During the day wild rumors were cur- rent that mobs were being formed to go to Cleveland and lynch Peck, but there was | no good ground for them. Although Mayor Young is criticized | somewhat for his contradictory speeches, | a great deal of the blame for the rioting | is placed on the shoulders of Chief Harri- | son. WILL NOT SEND ANY MORE TROOPS Uncle Sam Diverting: Fighting Men From China to the Philippines. ASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The im- portant development in the Chinese situation to-day was the decision of the Government not to send any more troops to China. All the troops now at sea, amounting to about 4000, together with those under orders for services in the Far East, which have not sailed, amount- | ing to about 3000 more, will be sent to! Manila. These trgops will sail on the same route and upon touching at Naga- saki, will go to Manila, unless there are developments in China, not now antici- pated, which will make their presence in necessary. Secretary Root said to-day that no more troops were be- ing sent to China because they were not needed. With the arrival at Taku -of th Hancock and the troops she carried, Gen. eral Chaffee will have 5000 available men, which is deemed sufficient for all present purposes. The decision of the department was not based upon any recommendation made by General Chaffee, but upon reports received by him, which made it apparent that no more troops were needed, The announcement of the diversion of the troops was made in the following official bulletin, which was posted at the | War Department this evening: “The Government has decided that un- less required by future developments, no more troops are to be sent to China. Orders have accordingly been cabled to Nagasaki for the Meade, which is dfe there to-day, with four troops of the Third Cavalry. four companies of the Fifteenth Infantry and Company E, Bat- talion of Engineers, to proceed directly to Manila. Similar orders will be given to the other troops which are under orders for China, via Nagasakl.” 1t was stated at the department that the encouraging conditions In China were the main reason why the orders of to-day re- | garding the troops were issued. Besides the troops on the Meade, #here are now at sea the Warren with two squadrons of the Ninth Cavalry and recruits, and the Sherman with one battalion each of the Second, Fifth and Eighth Infantry. The Logan is scheduled to sail on Sep- tember 1 with two battalions of the First and one battalion of the Second Infan- try. It was said at the War Depart- ment that six or seven: thousand troops would be affected by the order. A dispatch was received from General Cnaffee to-day, dated Peking, August 18, which was not in response to the request | sent him a few days ago to report the conditions and requirements, General Chaffee did not report further fighting in Peking and for that reason the Wash- ington officials feel assured. that hostile demonstrations in the Chinese eapital have ceased. The dispatch related to the transportation conditions and stated that the railread between Taku and Peking could not he used at the present time, as portions of it had been destroyed by the Chinese. General Chaffee will co- operate with the other commanders in China in reconstructing the road for the use of the allied forces. General Chaf- fee also reported that the telegraph line which was constructed by the signal corps from Tientsin to Peking is fre- quently interrupted, being cut, probably, by hostile Chinese. At a conferénce at the White House to-day, in which tge President, Secretary Root and Acting etary Adee partici- pated, careful irstructions were prepared for Mr. 11, the United States Spe- clal E:mmlulnner to China, to be for- warded at once to him for his guidance. The State Department received a dis- patch from Mr. Rockhill to-dlx, dated yokohama, briefly announcing his_arri- val there. This brought about the White House conference and the preparation of instructions. Before Mr. Rocknill left he was advised very fully on the purposes of this Government, but since his depart- gre the situaticm has so changed at Pe. as ng to make it desirable to supple- ment the instructions relating to re ing inexpedient affairs, and it would be t make any public reference to them. 2 GROWING FRICTION BETWEEN POWERS At Present, However, the Presi- dent Has No Intention of Calling Extra Session of Congress. ALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.— President McKinley has no present | intention of calling an extra session of Congress to consider the Chinese situation. Members of the Cabinet and other high officials of the administration with whom 1 have talked to-night assure | me that unless there is some unexpected development in China an extra session will not be necessary.

It is realized that the situation in China is one of grat gravity, and that it may lead to international com- plications with which the President mignt be powerless to deal without the help of Congress. Serious apprehension has been caused the developments during the days, which indicate a growing “tween the co-operating power: @ of the situation has suddeniy | become so serious as to cause the Presi- | dent to change his plan about going to the Grand Army encampment at Chicago. LATEST REPLY TO APPEALS FOR PEACE | This ph WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The State De- partment this morning made public the following correspondence: Chinese correspondence, August 20-22, 1900, handed to Mr. Adee by’ Mr. Wu August 20, 1966, 10:35 a. m.: A cablegram dated August 19 from Viceroy Li Hung Chang. Transmitted by the Chinese Minister in London and re- gelved by Minister on the night of the same d t was the declaration of all the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the great powers that the expedition of allled troops was solely for the rescue of the Ministers in Peking. Now the allied troops having entered Peking and found the Ministers safe, it seems proper that hos- tlities should at once cease and that negotia- tions should commence. I therefore request the United States Government to appoint an en- voy with full powers or to appoint the Min- ister now in Peking for that purpose, as he is necessarily acquainted with the affairs between Chinese and foreigners, and to inform me if the conference will take place in Peking. After the recelpt of a definite reply 1 will at once proceed to the north. Please request the Scre- tary of State to lay the matter before his Ex- celiency the President. 1 await his reply.”” Recelved at the Department of State August 21, 1900, 317 p. m.: Cablegram from Viceroy Li Hung Chang dated August 21, 10, and re. celved by Minister Wu on the same day: ““The Boxer rebels in Peking having been dis- rsed there will be positively no more fight- ng. Further military operations on the part of the powers are greatly to be deplored.

ERLIN, Aug. 23.—A section of the German press is talking about | Count von Waldersee's ‘“‘political | programme in China.”” The corre- | spondent of the Assoclated Press | learns that such a phase is entirely in-| applicable to the case. Count von Walder- see is going without any political pro- gramme. The German Government is really carrying on ceaselessly diplomatic negotiations here and in the capitals of the powers to agree to a joint programme for the immediate present, and the policy for months ahead Is not even dreamed of now. The correspondent hears that per- fect harmony regarding China continues to prevail between Germany and the | United States. The Cologne Gazette, in the course of an inspired article, replying to demands | made by a number of German jingo pa- | pers that Germany should seize a goodly | portion of the Yangtse Valley, says: “Germany most emphatically does not harbor any such intention.” Herr Eugene Richter, the Radical lead- er, publishes in the Freissinnige Zeitung a severely sarcastic editorial reviewing Emperor William's whole China policy | since its inception, and attempting to show, paragraph after paragrapn, that contradictions. ‘The Cologne Volks Zeitung publishes the text of the address made by Emperor ‘William to the officers of the China troops going from the Rhine districts. His Maj- esty is reported as saying that he feared that the troubles in China might develop a war between the Orient and the Occi- dent. He praised the bravery already shown in China by all the nations con- cerned and advised those who heard him to cultivate good fellowship with all re- gardless of color. He said that Chile had offered to supply all the horses Germany needed and also to send 30,000 men. Referring to the Chinese he character- ized them as a “‘cowardly but cunning and treacherous foe.” After counseling the strictest discipline he said: ‘“Spare the population, but do not spare those who oppose you there in arms. Show the Chinese there is one power which means to punish the crimes they have committed. irrespective of more distant and more practical aims.” The first batch of German correspond- ents has arrived at the seat of war and this evening a number of special dis- patches are printed. None of them, how- ever_“throw new light on the situation. | The idea of not celebrating Sedan day this year is gaining steadily in favor with which advocates the omission of the com- memoration at a time when the French are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Germans in China. A number of local militia commanders at Hamburg, Gle:- witz and Hanover are sending out circu- lars announcing that there will be no cel- ebration. Sultan Abdul Hamid has conveyed to Emperor William an expression of the joy felt at the Yildiz Kiosk over the relief of the foreign envoys in Peking and the suc. cess of the Kaiser's policy. i A special staff has gone out with Count von Waldersee to establish wireless teleg- raphy in China.
