United States.
London, July 11. The Shanghai cor
respondent of The Daily Mail, tele
graphing yesterday, says: "A message
has arrived here from Emperor Kwang
H.su, dated July II. by couriers from
Peking to the viceroy of Nankin, who
torwarded It here. It Ia addressed to
the KussiaKjnglish and Japanese
governments!? deplores the recent
occurrences anu -'soleuiul atiinns that
the foreign governments are mistaken

ment is protecting the Hoxers against
the Christians. The emperor further
Implores their aid in suppressing the
rebellion and upholding the existing
government."
"Washington. July 11. The following
official dispatch was received here last
night from China: "Chefoo secretary
of state Shantung governor ' wires
that he has reports that ou the Fourth
of July all the legationists at I'eklng
were safe except the German. Fowler,
consul."
Berlin. July 11; The foreign office
yesterday informed the Associated
Press that all the powers had eon-
wnti-il to .I.inau'a landing a large
force in China; but the stipulation
was made beforehand that no powers
could derive any advantage territorial
ly from the fact of its having more
troops In China than the others.
London. July 11. Three dispatches
were received here yesterday that
were reassuring for those who hoped
that the legationers at Peking are safe.
One was from Tien-Tsin and said
Chinese advices were that the lega
tioners at I'eklng had taken possession
of a royal palace commanding the
British legation and were holding it.
Another was from Washington and
gave a dispatch from ioodnow. Unit
ed Slates consul general at Shanghai,
stating that the governor of Shantung
had news that the legationers were
all right ou July 5.
Nwa Htlll Hon Satisfactory.
But the most satisfactory dispatch
was one from Shanghai saying that
.News from official sources was re
ceived at lO o'clock last Monday
night to the effect that the empress
had June 30 resumed the reins of gov
eminent and appointed Yung-I.u prime
minister. It is said that she sent a
dispatch to Nanking by courier at the
rate of luO miles a day, thanking the
viceroys of the Yang-tse-Kiaug pro
Inces for their loyalty, and recom
mending that they protect foreigners
at any cost.
Ab Sin la an Artillerist.
A dispatch from Tjen-Tsin tells ot
an artillery duel July 3, In which, aft
er the Japs and Russians had failed
to silence the Chinese battery the 12
Douuder of the British first-class
cruiser Terrible came Into action,
but the euemv placed two shells fairly
under the gun. damaging the carriage
and wounding the crew. The gun was
withdrawn and replaced by a French
gun. which had a similar experience, a
shell bursting in the midst of Its crew,
LONDON WANTS TO BELIEVE,
But Cannot See Why the Legationers Do
Not Themselves Telegraph.
London. July 11. "No authentic
news from l'eking" is still the burden
of the dispatches from the far east.
and although the disposition is to be
lieve the optimistic reports from Chi
nese sources no real confidence Is pos
sible until the legations, if they are
still in existence, are permitted to
communicate with their governments
If, as Is alleged, the Boxer movement
ia losing ground in Peking it might
have been supposed that the Boxers
would have endeavored to send up re
inforcements from Tien-Tsin; but In
stead of that they are still In great
force in the neighborhood of the latter
place, and are assisted by the imperial
Chinese troops with ample, efficient.
artillery.
According to a special Chefoo dis
patch the lighting around Tien-Tsin on
the 3d and 4th was the severest yet
experienced. The British losses alone
were thirty killed or wounded. The
Chinese had 75.h0 men attacking
simultaneously from the west, north
and east, and made excellent practice
with over luO guns. The defenders
numbered K.ooo, with scant supplies.
and It was only the presence of the
newly arrived Japanese and Russian
cunt that prevented a disaster. One
Russian company of infantry, number
ing men had 115 killed or wound
ed. The German contingent also suf
fered heavily. By the evening of the
4th the situation was very critical.
The allies narrowly escaped total de
feat.
Providentially when things were at
their worst a torrential rainfall com
pelled the Chinese to retire. On July 6,
the rain having abated, the Chinese re
newed the attack, opening Are on Tien
Tsin with two baterles of four-inch
guns, but the allies, aided by two of
H. M. S. Tfrrlble's 4.7-Inch guns, suc
ceeded in silencing the Chinese artil
lery after eight hours of lighting.
. At sMiaughai it seems now to be the
general belief that the date of the dis
patch of July 3 assertlng that two lega
tions were still standing, was an error
either accidental or intentional. The
couriers must have left I'eklng at least
five days earlier, making the real date
of the message June 28, while the al
leged massacres are said to have oc
curred on June 30. Until this point
can be cleared up the greatest anxiety
will be felt as to the fate of the Euro
peans. OCR POSITION' AS TO CHINA
Btated la a Circular Which Was Sent to
the Powers.
Washington, July 11. In order that
the European powers might have no
reason to misinterpret the position of
the United States as to China Secre
tarj Hay has sent them a circular In
which he says:
"We regard the condition at Feking
as one of virtual anarchy, whereby
power and responsibility is practically
devolved upon the local provincial au
thorities. So long- as they are' not in
overt collusion with rebellion aud use

property" we regard them as represent
ing the Chinese people with whom- we
seek to remain in peace and friend

it has been heretofore, to act concur

Why News Is Hard toCiefc. !
London, July 11. It Is diflicult to
get news at Shanghai, as the consuls
are dependent upon Sheng (the admin
istrator of telegraphs and railroads) for
l'eking news. lie and other ollicials
have large landed interests, and
therefore It Is supposed he will do his
lest to assist the foreigners in keeping
the peace.

OXU KIND OF 1U:VA1U.
Meanest Man Iu tbe State of Nibruks
Lives Near Omaha.
Emerson Benedict, deputy internal
revenue collector, thinks he has found
tno meanest man in the state of Ne
braska in tho person of a resident of a
small villago n few miles from Omaha,
says the Bee. A day or two ago the
collector's oilice received a letter stat
ing that tho principal merchant of the
place was soiling liquor without a li-
censo. Accompanying tne letter was
an allidavit of a citizens of the place
setting forth that he had purchased
whisky from the merchant. Armed
with the letter and the affidavit Mr.
Benedict mado it trip to the village
and investigated the case. lie found
that the merchant had at his home a
jug of whisky.which ho had purchased
for his own consumption; that the man
who made the allidavit was the hus
band of a woman in delicate health
and that a day or two before the afti
davit was signed he had called upon
the merchant and told him that liquor
had been prescribed for his wife and
that none could bo purchased in the
village. Taking compassion upon the
wife of the man the merchant gave
him a pint of whisky and the man,
over the protest of the merchant, paid
him for the liquor and immediately
filed the affidavit with tho merchant's
business rival, who had the letter sent
to the collector.
Under tbe circumstances tho deputy
required the. merchant to pay two
months' tax a a retail liquor dealer
and the penalty for selling without the
license.
Told a Fish Story.
E. M. Clark, the barber, and Gid
Archer havo a good joke on some of
their friends and they are enjoying a
hearty laugh at their expense. It ap
pears that Clark and Archer went
down to Rocky Point yesterday after
noon to try their luck fishing, and.
finding that the finny tribe were too
shrewd to be caught, they were for
time at a loss to know how to proceed,
as they were very anxious to make a
good showing when they came back to
town. About this time a fisherman
came along with a choice supply of
cat fish, quill backs, etc., and the boys
forthwith invested some of their small
change in purchasing several of the
best fish in the lot. They walked up
town as proud as if they had really
captured the fish themselves, and
every sport within a block of them
looked upon the fish with admiration.
Of course, their friends were all anx
ious to know where such fine fish
could be caught, and the stories which
Messrs. Clark and Archer related
sounded so fascinating that a unrty ol
their friends got together aud walked
down to the Point to see if they would
have equal go 1 luck.
The latter party returned late In the
evening, empty handed, but in the
meantime they had been "put onto"
the joke. However, some of the vic
tims were inclined to believe that the
joke was really on the perpetrators, as
it was evident that Messrs. Clark and
Archer hsd paid about twice as much
for tho fish as they were worth..

Nebraska Corn Would be Helped ty
Some Moisture.
Univeksity of Neuhaska, Lin
coln, July 10. The daily mean tem
perature of the past week has averaged
about 1 degree above the normal in
the western counties and 4 degrees in
tbe eastern. The maximum tempera
ture for the week exceeded 100 degrees
at many stations.
The rainfall exceeded an inch in a
few central and northern counties, but
generally was light. Little or no rain
fell in most of tho southeastern coun
ties. The harvest of winter wheat is
nearly completed, and thrashing has
commenced. The yield and quality of
the grain are good. Oat harvest has
commenced in the southern counties.
The recent dry weather has materially
shortened the oat crop, especially in
central and western counties, where
the crop will be very light. Spring
wheat and potatoes have also been
damaged by the dry weather. Corn
has generally grown well, and tassels
are beginning to show in many parts
of the state. Howevor. in the south
western counties corn has been dam
aged by drought, and in the southern
counties corn is beginning to feel the
need of more rain. Grasshoppers and
chinch-bugs are doing considerable
damage in western counties.
IS IT K1UHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
iclnes?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
N. C. It may be a question whether
the editor of a paper has the right to
publicly recommend medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have Known aud used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many ca
ses a dose of the remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Dirrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and ad
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our oxperience
during the past twenty years. For
sale by all drugiats.
