From Tien Tsin comes news almost as de pressing as the massacre at Pekin. Shanghai is besieged by thousands of yellow devils, ready at the first opportunity to repeat the horrible slaughter of christian people. We can not assume any longer that Chi na as a nation is blameless for the anti-foreign war being waged by her people and her army. The diplo matic fiction that China is 011 friend ly terms with the rest of the world 110 longer deceives. That the Chi nese government is still withholding the worst of the story in order to gain time for the concentration of their forces around Pekin and Shanghai is cle irly evident. That the govern ment could have sent out the news of the massacre as easily as it sent its disclaimer of responsibility to its foreign representatives is beyond a doubt. Her declaration of friendli ness has become an intolerable lie. China is a maniac among the na tions, and is not amenable to moral suasion. She will have to be over powered, and that will be found no easy task, for she has the brute strength of a third of tlie world's population and the frenzy of a luna tic.

Last night, in the presence of 14,000 persons in the Madison Square Garden, Terry McGovern of Brooklyn defeated Frank Erne of Chicago, the lightweight champion of the world, in the third round. It was a hurricane fight from b*ll to bell, without a sec ond's let up, except when either one of the contestants was lying on the floor of the ring. Testimony of Bamuel B.

Goon and state the conversation ? Of how he was getting along, and he had earned it all by hard knocks and so forth, and then I asked him how his lawsuit was getting 011 with being disbarred, and he told me that it was all light; that it had been argued in the Supreme Court and the decession was withheld; that is that the de cision was reserved; that it had not been handed down at that time, and he said a man by the name of De witt was his lawyer of Towandajtliat the trouble arose over the sale of a property at Sattertield; be said that he had bid and expected to withdraw his bid, and it was argued before the associate judges, and he wanted a law judge, and they got into a tight, and he said that in the near future he expected to start a newspaper and he would ruin the son of a bitch, if it cost half that he was worth.

Town of Coleman Suffers (.rent I.oxa of Life and Property. COLEMAN. Tex., July 17.—Fifteen lives are known to have been lost in a cloudburst here yesterday. Ten bodies have been recovered, but only two were identified, Joseph Spath and John Foul einsteiu. It is feared that many more lives were lost in the valley below Coleman. The cloudburst, which followed three days of unprecedented rainfall, caused Ford's creek to burftt its batik's and rush through Coleman, a village of less than 1,000 in habitants. Bewildered citizens, roused from their slumbers, rushed into the streets and were swept away. Many' were saved by catching bold of pieces of timber and navigating them into eddies formed by the swift current, where they were drawn ashore. Spilth and Fouleisstein managed to mount their horses. They daphed into the water aud swam their horsfts to a house where four little girls were screaming for help. Each rescued two of the children, who they took upon their horses. The animals were swept away, however, in a noble effort to stem the swift current, and ull were drowned. Water has floated the tracks of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway for miles, nnd all traffic is stopped. WESTERN TOWN DESTROYED. PreKcott. A. T.. Suiter* n Million Dol lar Klre Lotto.
