ALLIES ARE REPORTED AT PEKIN.
Said to Have Arrived at the Capital on Monday, Aug. 13.
NEW PHASE TO SITUATION.
Russia and Japan Said to Be Willing to Have Their Ministers Delivered Outside Pekin.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—"The allies are reported to have reached Pekin Monday," says the Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Express wiring yesterday. He adds: "Chinese official news confirms this statement but without details."
A Paris message repeats this, but the statement, especially as it emanates from Shanghai, must be accepted with considerable reserve.
Other London morning papers, basing their remarks upon Washington dispatches which, with the exception of the foregoing from Shanghai form the latest news regarding the advance, are divided in opinion, some believing that the allies must already have reached Pekin, and others preferring to believe that the relief will not be accomplished until the end of the week.
Telegraphing from Yang Tsun, Aug. 6, a Daily News correspondent says: "Sir Alfred Gaselee hopes to keep the enemy running and to follow him right into Pekin."
Ngan Ping was occupied without firing a shot, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from that place dated Aug. 11. "It is believed," the message adds, "that Generals Tung Fun Siang, Ma and Chung are entrenching 40,000 strong at Tung Chau. The allies may avoid Tung Chau, pursuing the route northwest from Chang Kia Wan. Tung Chau appears to be about 12 miles from Pekin.
A dispatch to the same paper from Shanghai dated yesterday says that the officials profess to be willing to hand over the foreign ministers, their families and servants, but will not permit the departure of native Christians.
"The Russian government" continues this telegram, "has notified Li Hung Chang of its willingness to receive M. De Giers outside the walls of Pekin, thus avoiding the entrance of the Russian forces. This independent action is calculated to embarrass the allies seriously. Japan demands that General Yung Lu shall meet the allies outside the city gates and deliver the ministers and all the native Christians.

COMMUNICATION OPEN.
Messages Are Being Received Direct From Conger.
THEIR CONTENTS NOT DIVULGED.
This Is Because the Crisis Involves Many Possibilities of Hazard to the Legationists and Caution Must Be Observed—Chaffee at Matow.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16—It is appreciated by the officials here that the crisis in the Chinese situation has reached an acute stage which can not be continued many hours without bringing word of momentous import, determining either for good or evil, the entire course of events.
One of the new developments yesterday was the statement that messages are being received from Minister Conger which are not transmitted through any of our officials in China, or through the Chinese minister here, but directly at the state department. These messages come by the way of Tsi Nan. Some of them can not be fully deciphered, and for this reason the statement can not be definitely made that the dispatches sent by the government to Minister Conger are received by him.
Nothing could be learned of the contents of the dispatches received, although it was stated that there were quite a number from Minister Conger, some coming from the consular officers and General Chaffee, besides those which came direct. The message transmitted through Minister Wu was entirely deciphered in the department.
During the course of a conversation yesterday between Secretary Root and Baron Speck Von Sternburg, the German charge d' affairs, Mr. Root gained considerable information concerning the route which was yet to be traversed by the allied armies. Baron Sternburg told him that Tung Chow was a very strong place and if the Chinese arms should make a stand at this point, the international forces would find it quite difficult to overcome the forts and walls
It is expected that the German force now on its way to China will land in the vicinity of Lin Yu, which is directly east of Pekin. The advantages of this point are found in the fact that ice will not interfere with the going and coming of ships with supplies.
Chaffee Reaches Matow.
Word came early in the day to the navy department that General Chaffee had reached Matow, about 20 miles from Pekin. This occurred Friday or Saturday though the dispatch from General Chaffee, sent through Admiral Remey, was not sufficiently definite to locate the exact time of reaching Matow. But in any event, three or four days have elapsed since then, and there has been time for a still further advance toward the imperial city.
It was announced both at the state and war departments that any communications from Minister Conger or the United States consuls concerning affairs in China would not be made public. It was explained that this was in no way due to any desire to keep from the public information of an important character, but was based solely on the fact that the crisis involved so many possibilities of extreme hazard to the 800 legationers in Pekin, that the greatest caution must be observed against disclosures which would further imperil those in danger.
The actual developments of the day consisted of the Remey dispatch heretofore alluded to, and one from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai. The state department declined to make known the contents of the Goodnow dispatch.
The cipher experts were busy with a dispatch from Consul Fowler at Che Foo, which was so unintelligible that it had to be returned to the telegraph company to be repeated. So far as it could be deciphered it appeared to repeat a message sent by Minister Conger to Fowler telling the latter that the situation was becoming more critical at Pekin and that the Chinese authorities were seeking to compel the legationers to leave the city under Chinese escort.
With the army at Matow, it is felt that any one of several conditions might be presented in the near future. The Chinese officials concurred in the belief expressed by the Chinese minister at London that there would be a speedy and sudden change and a peace within the next few weeks.
Tung Chow the Real Battleground.
On the other hand Baron Speck Von Sternburg regards Tung Chow, midway between Matow and Pekin, as the real battleground and Secretary Root is inclined to accept this view.
Some of the Japanese officials believe that when the allies reach Tung Chow they will find Pekin a deserted city ahead of them, as it was recalled that these tactics of withdrawal had occurred in 1860 when the British-French expedition reached Tung Chow.
The message of the French minister at Pekin, M. Pichon, to the French foreign office, was at first regarded here as identical with the last Conger message which the state department has not made public. But without disclosing the nature of the Conger message, the officials made sufficient comparison between the Pichon and Conger messages to show that they were not identical in language or general statement. On the contrary, it was clear that each minister was forwarding to his government his own advices on the situation and that there had not been consultation between the ministers before the two dispatches were forwarded.
The arrival of President McKinley is looked forward to with great interest in view of the gravity of the crisis. The presidential party will be here today and an extended conference between the president, Secretary Root, Acting Secretary Adee and others is likely to occur.
This probably will assume the aspect of a cabinet conference if, indeed, it is not felt desirable to hold a special cabinet meeting. The regular meeting day of the cabinet is on Friday at which time there will be further opportunity of going over the Chinese developments.
A Tombstone Bee.
Copake, N. Y., comes to the front with a decided novelty in the way of social diversion. The citizens organized a "tombstone bee," and going out to the graveyard, straightened up all the toppling monuments and headstones. They then returned to town and wound up the evening with a dance.

PAGE TWO—EDITORIAL.
West Feels No Interest in Anti-Imperialism.
Senator Hanna and his associates at Republican National headquarters have put in motion the machinery for most of the routine work of the campaign. They are waiting for the letters of acceptance of President McKinley and Gov. Roosevelt in order to complete the campaign text book, which is always regarded as an important publication. The two letters are to be included in the book.
As soon as the Republican campaign managers had read Bryan's speech of acceptance they sent scores of telegrams to Republican leaders in all parts of the West, instructing them to note carefully the effect of the speech on the rank and file of the voters and report results to headquarters by wire. Up to that time all the reports from the West to the effect that there had been little or no public interest in the Democratic issue of "anti-imperialism.'' Senator Hanna and his associates were anxious to know if Bryan's speech devoted to the one issue had changed the situation.
The reports culled for are now coming in and they indicate that Bryan's speech was the biggest kind of a disappointment all through the West, and that if he speaks on that line from now until Election day he cannot make "imperialism" a paramount issue. The Republican leaders find that the business interest of the West and most of the intelligent men who have studied the question for themselves are in favor of expansion, while the voters who are not well informed on the issue take little or no interest in it—in fact, most of them care nothing about it.
It has been found that the opposition to alleged imperialism in the West is confined to a few agitators in the cities and to the Democratic and Populist politicians who are trying to conceal the free-silver plank of their National platform. There are no clubs or societies anywhere to agitate the question, no organization of anti-imperialists and no general interest in the subject. All reports agree that the question cannot be made an issue in this campaign, except in the minds of a few cranks and in the alleged minds of Democrats who are ashamed or afraid of the real issue in their platform.

GRANGERS AT BINGHAMTON.
About Sixteen Hundred from Cortland County—A Fine Time.
(From the Binghamton Republican, Aug. 16.)
Yesterday was grangers' day at Ross park. Fifteen granges with friends of the members of Cortland county, made their annual outing to this city and passed the day in a social and entertaining way. They came into the city over the Lackawanna in two sections. The first section was composed of thirteen cars and arrived at 11 o'clock with 1,000 people. The second section came over the Syracuse division a little later with about 600. The excursionists boarded the cars which were waiting for them at Lewis-st. and went to the park.
The granges in Cortland county have been organized for eighteen years and at present their membership consists of a large number of the farmers of the county. The object of the organization is to bring the farmers into a fraternal fellowship and to secure their rights through the legislative bodies of the state and nation. There are the subordinate or local granges, the county, state and national granges. The organization of granges among the farmers is being carried on continually and the result is that the farmers are being educated and are taking a greater part in the history of the nation. There is also connected with the organization an insurance association.
The speeches at the park in the afternoon began at two o'clock. The meeting was called to order by H. P. Squires, president of the Marathon grange. Prayer was offered by Dr. McVey. There was singing by a quartette composed of Mrs. Rice, Miss Baird, George W. Downing and Earl Stone, all of this city. Dr. John McVey then made a few remarks in which he said that brains and brawn are the two things that men need but that the brains are preferable to brawn. He said that we are now living in an age when brain work counts in all kinds of business and in farming tells the same as in all other work [sic].
Hiram Mintz, of this city, next briefly addressed the grangers. The quartet sang another selection after which Hon. George E. Green delivered a short address. He said in part: "I believe that every farmer can make money. What you need is to work with knowledge. If you are not members of a grange get into one. They have done much for the farming communities. They are educators of the right sort, and for my part I favor these fraternities. They are precisely what we make them. We can make them failures or successes as we wish. The educated farmer is the one who has success. It is not the college educated farmer that we need but the farm educated farmer. I was pleased when I heard that the farmers who had become tired of selling their milk at too low a price had organized and now were selling direct to the consumer, and that they were doing that which helps the majority. Gentlemen, you have executive committees. You are putting questions to your representatives in the legislative bodies. That is right. Stand together for your interests. Keep up your executive committees and send delegations to Albany and to Washington if necessary. There is too much legislation, demagogue legislation. What we need is more business men and not so many professional men in the legislature. Keep up your granges. They are strong organizations and are doing splendid work. You do not have to ask others to do for you but you are strong enough to do for yourselves. If we should remove the fraternal organizations from the earth what a dreary world this would be. Many men need assistance and we should not forget that we are our brother's keeper. Organize more closely. Know what you are doing. Get educated. If you have not been successful don't get discouraged but keep on. Be upheld by the spirit that you will succeed. This world is no place for fault finding and complaining. Farmers, you can do something if you will. Get into a grange, for they will help you. Act consistently and intelligently so that posterity will rise up and call you blessed."
After the speeches the visitors enjoyed the vaudeville entertainment. Everything during the day seemed to go to please the visitors and it is expected that they will make Binghamton their place of outing each year. They returned home at about 6:30.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
Sure to Hold the Banner—Everything as Advertised—Aug. 21-24.
Briefly stated the outlook for the Cortland county fair, which opens Tuesday, Aug. 21, is for the most satisfactory exhibition held upon the grounds of the society during the nineteenth century. Entries and sale of season tickets are far in excess of those of any previous year on the first day of the fair. This speaks well for spirited competition in the numerous classes; promises an exhibit of high order and is evidence that the public appreciates the effort of the management to give the most and best for the money. While the hall is quite commodious, yet such is the demand for booth space that it has become necessary to double exhibitors in several instances that all may have a fair opportunity to make displays—and thus far the attempt has proved satisfactory to all.
There is no question as to Beard & Peck's ladies' driving contest being a feature—bona fide entries maintain this assertion. Palmer & Co.'s offer for best turnout; F. D. Smith's offer for products of the oven; Glann & Clark's, Smith & Beaudry's and Pearson Bros, scholastic research; Buck & Lane's and Wickwire Roller Mill Co. on culinary art and the numerous other specials will be a victory of no mean order.
The attractions are taking, new and interesting. There is something for all and room for everybody.
Secretary Greenman says come right along with your entries from class No. 1 to No. 65 and his force at the office will cause you to wear a smile on the opening day.
Remember single admission is 25 cents and season family or exhibitors' tickets only $1 and that the piano and buggy are among the list of special [prize] premiums.
Booth exhibitors should also procure their $1 tickets of the secretary before occupying space. It will save time when the hall superintendent asks for them. Aug. 21-24, 1900.

A SMALL RIOT.
CULMINATION OF UMPIRE GIFFORD'S THREE DAYS' WORK IN CORTLAND.
His Decisions Were Bad Throughout the Three Games—Cooped in the Box Offices—Police Force Came to His Rescue—Game Will be Protested.
The game between Cortland and Albany at Athletic field yesterday came to a sudden end in the ninth inning when Umpire Gifford called the game and declared it forfeited to Albany. Gifford came to Cortland last Monday and umpired the two games with Utica much to the disgust of all who saw the games. Yesterday he was even worse in his decisions than he had been during the two days previous to this game. Gifford gave Cortland the bad end of everything, and the crowd got out of patience with him and was not at all slow in showing its disgust of his work. Gifford proved himself incompetent to officiate at a game by having to refer to the official scorer to find out how many balls and strikes a batsman should have called upon him. His decisions on these were awful, nor were his decisions on bases any better. One Cortland player he called out at first when the first baseman dropped the ball that was thrown to put him out, and other decisions were equally rank.
The trouble that brought the game to a close was reserved for the last inning when the teams were tied at four runs each. McFall threw the ball for Zeigler, who was at bat. Zeigler attempted to bunt, but failed and was much surprised to hear the umpire tell him to take his base for being hit by a pitched ball. The Albany players helped Zeigler along to first, and gave him refreshing portions in mock seriousness. McFall protested and was put out of the game. Gannon came in and talked with the official and was put out of the game for three days. About this time, a swarm of boys and men came over from the bleachers and gathered about the umpire and players. Gifford called time without hardly a moment's warning, and declared the game forfeited to Albany. Gifford started off the grounds, but was surrounded by the crowd, and President Reilly and Constable Edwards had to take him into the ticket office lest he should be mobbed by the crowd. Police protection was demanded to take him from the grounds, and Chief Parker and Officer Nix came to his rescue after being penned up for a half hour in the office. He was followed through Main-st. by a crowd of hooting men and boys who bombarded him with stale hen fruit, tin cans, corn cobs and anything that could be found for the purpose.
Gifford is of the opinion that he is going to umpire the game to-day, but the management says no, and there are others who are just as decided in their views. Manager Smith of the Albany is just us much disgusted with Gifford as is the Cortland association.
Pitcher McFall, who has the reputation of being a quiet and clean ball player, not only in Cortland, but throughout the State league, is the worst used up player or participant in the affair. McFall has been in the league ever since it was started and has never before been put out of a game or disputed a decision made by an umpire. He stated in regard to the matter that Gifford's decisions were so evidently against him that he could not help doing as he did.
President Dan Reilly has notified Mr. Farrell that Cortland will not play again under Gilford's supervision. If the notice is not recognized and respected, Mr. Reilly will resign as president of the association. A protest has been entered with a view of getting the game declared off.
