WASHINGTON , Aug. 27. Russia , Germany and Japan have not declared war upon China , cither separately erIn In concert. Thin statement Is mtulo upon the authority of the highest character. What those nations inny do within the next forty-eight hourn , 01' within the next fortnight , IB n question which no ono if * Washlnston la prepared to answer. A brief dispatch from Clio Fee , con veying a rumor current there that Russia , Germany and Japan had Joined In a declaration of war upon China , aroused some intcieatcd comment among Washington officiate r.nd among diplomatic representatives of foreign governments resident here. In neither official nor diplomatic circles , how- c\er , wan the rumor taken seriously. No Information of such action has reached either the Dcnaitment of State or the legations of the governments primarily interested. That fact alone Is accepted In official circles is a suffi cient refutation of the rumor. Official * of lie ! State , War and Navy departments were at their dctiks early today , hut up to the hour of closing for the day not a word had been heard from Minister Conger , General Chaf- fee or Admiral Remey. Since the dis patch from Consul Fowler waa received late last Thursday night the Depart ment of State has received no advices from any source In China , except a brief cablegram from Minister Conger inquiring how ho should route hii messages. The text of the dispatch , which , it was explained , was very brief and purely administrative in charac ter , was not made public. The War department has received no dispatch from General Chaffce , known to have come directly from him , for about a weok. Cablt'Erams sinned "Chaffee" have been received , but as they con tained only lists of casualties it is as sumed they were Bent by some subor dinate officer in General Chaffec's mime. From no official sources has the department learned of the departure of forty Americans from Pekln to Tien Tsln , as reported to a London paper under date of August 19. Advices from General Chaffee arc expected hourly , as the military tele graph line between Tlcn Tsln and Pe kln , which has been interrupted , pre sumably is being or has be i repaired. Imperative instructions wore sent yes terday to the commander of the United States forces at Tien Tsln to have the line restored at once under the pro tection of a cavalry detachment. A Biisntclon exists here that the delay In messages , both from and to Washing ton , Is rather between Che Fee and Shanghai than between Tien Tsln and Pokln. From Cho Fee to Shanghai the telegraph line la In control of the Chinese authorities and it is suspected they are not so prompt In the trans mission of mesbugos as they might be. Later in the day a dispatch was re ceived at the Japanese legation from the foreign office of Japan conveying the latest and most authentic informa tion of the situation In and around Pekin. In a measure the advices were of a disquieting natuic , ns they indicated that the Chinese had rallied their forces and were preparing for an attack upon the allies in Pekln. If it should prove that the allied forces wore besieged In Pekln It would nc- count for the lack of advices from General Chaffce. Anif rlruhH Lenta 1'ekln. LONDON , Aug. 27. A special dis patch from Pekln , dated August 20 , says : Forty Americans , with an escort of United States troops , start for Tlcn Tain tomorrow. Through the I'lilnre. PARIS , Aug. 27.

As there Is not more than a month's food supply , there is every prospect of a famine shortly. " The declination that a famine IB im minent iii consequence of the inade quacy of provisions for the hordes of refugees at Tien Tain adds a new ele ment of peril to the situation.

Five hundred American troops participated lit a sig nal defeat of Boxers outside of Tien Tsln August 15. The fact Is reported from \Menna. Details came from the Router agent at Tien Tsln In a dis patch dated August 20. In addition to the Americans the force consisted of 375 British and 200 Japanese , all under the British general , Dorward. The fight took place at a village six miles west of Tlcn Tsln , where the al lied forces found n considerable num ber of Boxers , whom they engaged , killing over 300 and taking sixty-four wounded prisoners , who were sent to the hospitals of the allies. The vil lage was burned. The Americans had live wounded , the Japanese six and the British none. Hundreds of Box ers , flags , spears and swords were cap tured. From Shanghai comes a report , qual fled by the assertion that It Is from purely Chinese sources , that the cm- pi-ss dowager , after proceeding one day's journey from Pekln , became ter- rlflcd at the looting by General Tung Fuh Sing's soldiers , and went back to Pckln. A Chinese telegram from Sian Tu says that Prince Tuan has hpon captur ed by a detachment of the allies. Other Chinese messages record the for mation of a provisional government In Pckln by the nlllcs , but this appears to bo a purely military measure and merely an elaboration of the scheme for dividing the city Into sections for police purposes. LI Hung Chang has received word that the allies entered Pekin easily , because the troops of General Tung Fuh Slang utterly refused to face the allies. According to the Shanghai correspondent pendent of the Daily Telegraph Earl LI , recognizing the futility of an at tempt to drive the foreigners from China , now professes conversion to reform principles. Shanghai advices announce the re ceipt there or Chinese official advices asserting that Emperor Kwang Su has been found and rescued by the Jap anese. Messages from Tien Tsin report se rious mortality among the American horses , owing to the heat. Delaved advices to Renter , dated Pekln , August 14 , reiterate the state ments regarding the treachery of the Chinese on the night before the re lief. They had Informed the members of the legations that orders had been Issued to cease firing. This was fol lowed by a desperate attack. And it was only the welcome sound of the cannon of the relieving force In the morning that renewed the courage of the foreigners. The correspondent adds : "The Chinese admit having lost 3,000 In the various attacks upon the lega tions. Our rations dwindled to one pound a day , consisting of horse flesh nnd rice. " When the American de tachment attacked the whole Chinese force concentrated against them , leav ing the Sha Ho gate unwatched , whereupon the British entered there without the loss of a man. Trouble Among Tologrnpliers. SAN FRANCISCO , Cal. , Aug. 23. The Chronicle says : Trouble Is brew ing In the Order of Railway elegraph- ers. The Immediate cause of the trouble is the action of W. V. Powell , president of the order , In suspending George Estee , chairman of division 53. For some time there has been much dissatisfaction among tlio toiegrapners regarding the administration of cer tain regulations which relate to the Insurance benefits of the order. Presi dent Po\yell took a stand which was distasteful to many of the members , and especially those of division 53 , and when Estee was called on to execute the orders Issued by his superior he hsltated and finally referred the matter - tor back to headquarters. The corre spondence that followed did not con tribute much toward the settlement of iho misunderstanding and a few day ago the edict of suspension * as issued. II nut. Corduii I * Shot.

MAY INVALIDATE : THE LAW. UUcovo/j of mi OiitUftton Iii tlio Mnxi * tniiiu Hutu Act. LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 27. Edson Rich , one of the attorneys represent ing the Union Pacific railway com pany who has been delving into the maximum rate law for the purpose of finding Irregularities , was rewarded by the discovery that the pnnnlty clause of the bill and one unimportant section of the bill were not In the engrossed copy , though the missing portions are in the enrolled bill which was signed by the governor. Now the question Is , how did the penalty clause get Into the enrolled 1)111 , being miss ing from the engrossed bill ? What effect this discovery will have on the litigation now In the courts over the enfoicement of the maximum rate law is not known , but Mr. Rich Intimates that ho considers the dis covery of great Importance. His road has been sued for over $000,00 for violating elating the law. He says the omission was overlooked by others who have examined Into the record relating to the passage of the law. The house journal shows that the penalty clause and other amendments were adopted but the clause and the amendments do not appear in the cngiossed bill , nnd as the bill serves as the original copy from which the enrolled bill is made , the omission may play an 1m- poitant pait in litigation. As the courts do not accept the engrossed bill in evidence , some profess to be lieve that the omission is of no mport- ance whatever. However , if the omis sion is of any moment , it Is of vital importance , oecauso tlie act without the penalty clause would be valueless. Annulled mi tinTriiln. . OIIAIIA , Aug. 27. Edward E.

The attending physician does not anticipate any se rious consequences from the Injuries. The perpetrator of the deed escaped with $50 in cash and two drafts of | 50 each belonging to Mr. Balch. The affair is a mysterious one in every particular. Not the slightest clew as to the identity of the robber is at hand and the theories advanced by those who are Investigating the case arc decidedly vague. The robber did not attempt to hold up all of the passengers In the sleeper. Ho awoke none of the occupants and accom plished his work with the greatest stealth. Murder ut Wayne.
