Japan's Military Attache Sends News
That It Just a Little Contra
- dlctory Advance of the
- Allies Probably Began.
London, -Ang. 1. Tien-Tsin wires
that General Sir Alfred t.astlee aad
etaff, together with large foreign rein
forcements, arrived there on July 2S.
Washington. Aug. 1. Adjutant Gen
eral (Sorbin yestertlay received a dis
patch from Lieutenant Colonel Cool
Idge, commanding the Ninth Infantry
at Tieu-Tsin. It came by way of Cbe
foo and Is as follows:
'Tien-T8ln, July -'7. Following let
ter of Lieutenant Colonel Shiba .mili
tary attache at the legation of Peking,
dated July 23. arrived Tieu-Tin July
23, at 9 o'clock in the eveuhik:
"Peking. July 27 Evening. We
are all awaking Impatiently the ar
rival of the reinforcing army. When
are you coming? All the legations have
been blockaded since the 13th of last
month and sim-e the 20th June we
Lave been attacked continually, night
and day, by the Chinese soldiers from
more than ten encampments. By a su
preme effort jve are still defending.
Daily Awaiting Ilia Kntui fuwee.. -
" We are daily awaiting with the
greatest auxiety the arrival of the re
inforcing army, and If you can't reach
here la less than, a .week's . time it-h
Erobable that we will be unable to
old on any longer. The emperor and
empress dowager appear to be still at
Peking. Were our reinforcements to
arrive it is very probable that they
would flee to Wan .hoshan. The killed
and wounded up to date are eight
killled, one captain of Infantry and an
ambassador's attache; seven seriously
wounded, the first secretary of the le
gation being one of twenty slightly
wonnded.- The number of-Europeans
killled Is sixty in all.'
Signed. "COOLIDGE."
Contradicts Other Ktwi.
" The pecularity in the above is that it
practically . contradicts Kir Claude
Macdonald's telegram, which said that
an armistice was declared on July 16.
Also the war department last evening
received two cablegrams both from ;
Chefoo China. The first was sub-dated
"Tlen-Tsin. 27," and read: "Message
Just received from Conger says that
since the lCth by agreement no firing.
Have provisions for several weeks,
but little ammnnllon. All safe and
welL I Daggett report allied forces
soon advance."
The other dispatch reported the ar-
rival ai Aiu-jsui oi Jin j .t ui i n r
transport Flintshire.
Or tain the l.egatlonera Are Living.
Doubt has given way here to a feel
ing akin to certainty that the lega
tloners at I'eking and the gallant ma
rines who mauagvd to reach the Chi
nese capital Just in the nick of time
were not only alive on July 22, but in
all probability are still alive and likely
to remain so until they are released
S-om their state of siege. The otlicials
ere feel certain that the attack by
the Chinese on the legations will not
le renewed. They are convinced that
the counsels of the viceroys in the great
.southern and central provinces and the
advice of LI Hung Chang have had
effect and that whoever is in power in
Peking, whether emperor, empress,
Chlng, Tuan, or Tung, now have been
made to see the necessity for the pre
servation of the legations.
LONDO.N HAS SOME MORE MEWS.'.
Tws Telegram. Showing the Legatlooera
Alive Advance on faking Begun.
London, Aug. 1. Important addi
tional confirmation of the safety of the
legations was received in London last
evening by Duncan Campbell, repre
sentative In Europe . of the Chinese
customs service, from the commission
er of customs at Chefoo, in the shape
of a Peking dispatch, not dated, but
Relieved to have been written on July
21, signed by both Sir Robert Ilart,
Inspector general of customs, and Rob
ert Bredon, deputy Inspector general,
to the following effect: -Staff and
family still safe.". This has been con
tinued by the commissioner of customs
in Shanghai, who telegraphed last
evening:. .'.'Authentic Inspector gen
eral safe 22d."
-The allies now confront a most dif
ficult and dangerous problem. With
out doubt the ministers are held by the
Chinese as hostages, and the outcome
of-the advance on I'eking. which In
all probability has already begun, will
be awaited with intense anxiety. Yes
terday's dispatches show that the al
lies, notably the Japanese, have been
pushing their preparations with fever
ish haste, organizing a service of pack
carts, trains and Junks. It is reported
from Berlin that Lieutenant General
von Lessel. commanding the German
forces In China, whom Emperor Will
iam has Just promoted to the rank of
general commanding an army corps,
has been selected as commander-in-chief
of the allied forces.
The Chinese are strongly entrenched
at Wang Tsun, from which position.
however, it is believed tliey can be
ejected without great difficulty. The
danger" Is that If defeated there the
Chinese will retire on Peking and put
the remainder of the Europeans to
death. It is also possible. that the ad
vance of the allies will be the signal
for the Chinese authorities to compel
all foreigners to quit the capital. In
wnicn event they might become the
prey of the fanatical Boxers. The
feeling of the newspapers here Is that
nothing whatever should now delay the
advance and that no negotiations of
any kind shoald be countenanced until
th allied troops reach Peking and as
sure themselves "regarding the fate of
the foreigners.

AX OLD LAW IN -HFFKCT
Cars Usrrt Io interstate Traffic Mum Have
Automatic Couplers.
Yesterday was safety-appliance day.
says the State Journal. Henceforward
every ranroaa car used in interstate
trattlc must bo equipped with auto
matic couDlers, and In every train op
erated in this class of traftc there must
ba enough cars .quipped with air
brakes to allow the engineer . to keep
the train under control. The railroads
are prepared to meet the law.although
many of the lines have some crs that
have not yet been brought up. to the
requirements of the act.
Early in March, lS93,congress passed
the bill requiring that all cars opet
ated in interstate trattlc be equipped
with the safety appliances.. The law
met with disfavor, and In May, 1896, it
was amended. The roads were given
until January 1, 189S, to meet the re.
qutrements. 1 hey asked for an exten
sion of time, pleading that the heavy
business would not allow them. to take
tneir oars out of service. They were
given until January 1, 1899,,but even
with tho additional year of grace they
were unable to add the devices. ...The
interstate commerce commission
granted a further extension of six
months.
The penalty prescribed for every vio
atlon of the law and uou-equipment
of any car used io interstate traflic is
a violation is $100, to be recovered in
a suit or suits' brought by the United
States district attorney in whose dis
trict the violation is committed. Ii is
the duty of the interstate commerce
commission to lodgo complaints against
the roads whenever violations of the
iw are made
There are more than 1,300,000
freight cars in the country, and it is
estimated that the cost of equipping
each car with the couplers is about $30
The expense incurred in equipping the
cars with the air brakes is considerably
greater than that in placing the coup
lers, and that for that reason the roads
are not equipping all their old carts
with the air brokes. It is understood.
however, that all new freight cars will
be equipped with both the coupler and
tne orawes. ......
