BY I LATEST NEWS NOTES. IlED IN 1 Sill d. WAR'S TERRIBLE RECORD. !ilEBB10iI. TMI MARK ITS. BOXER HORRORS. Thlrsl lor Human Blood Spreading Chinese Capital Reek With Carnage Japan to Han a Fret Hand. The correspondent nt Shanghai, tele graphing under date of Thursday, U:lo p. in., says he believes that when offi cial information comes regarding Pe king it may include news of the outrag ing of f".ni;tih women and the torture of children. It may alio he taken f r granted, he asserts, that all the foreign ers in 1'cl.jng liavc lietn wiped out. These arc the whisperings of startling ritniors in native quarters and it must not be fi riMMtcii tliat the telegraph lines, over which alone the news can come, are solely in the hands of the Chinese. The native rumors are likely to have their source in a olid hais. and the na tive oftic'als are believed to be prepar ing the way for the reception of news of the greatest crime of the century. Prince Tnnn is preparing an edict or dering the extermination of all foretell ers. This i probably intended to pre pare tile public for the wnrt news. Chinese cumulative reports, which arc generally believed, declare that all the foreigners in Peking have been massv cred. The safety of all foreigners in North Chuia depends upon Japan's prompt action. Japan has 70,000 troops ready, but is prevented from sending them to China by international jealous ies. Telegrams dated Friday say: Recitals of further horrors in Peking are gath ered by corespondents nt Shanghai from Chinese sources, especially of the slaughter in the Chinese and Tartar city of thousands of native Christians, so that the capital reeks with carnage. The ruthless thirst for blood is spread in:; in all the northern provinces, and wherever there are native Christians the set lies enacted in the capital are repro duced in miniature. l rotn these stories nothing further conns regarding the legation forces, excipt a repetition that they are all dc:.d. The correspondents aver that if the Chinese officials in Shanghai wished to throw light on the real state of af fairs in the capital they could do so, and, then fore, the worst reports are accept ed as true. Taku dispatches say an attack in grcnt force is expected at any moment. The Chinese comrnanders are awaiting the arrival of more guns and reinforcements be, ere making an effort to retake the cits . The Russian government announces that it will give Japan a free hand to ap plv military force in China. Telegrams dated Sunday say: Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A Chinese force, numbering from 80.000 to 100,000 men, estimated by reconnojssance, tloods the country around Tien Tsin. Communication between which place and Tagu is apparently possible by river only. A Che Poo dispatch says the Rus sians have landed N.000 men at Taku, and the Japanese have discharged sev eral transports. The Japanese pushed on to Tien Tsin, leading in the subse quent attack upon the native city, in which their commander was killed. Ten more transports arc engaged at Japan ese ports. With 10.000 Jiritish Indian troops alloat and fresh Japanese contin gents, it is quite probable that the allies will soon have 50,000 men ashore. The disorders in the provinces appear to be increasing in violence. A Chinese army is within 40 miles of New Chwang, and the foreigners arc preparing to abandon their homes. A MICHIGAN CLOUDBURST. Much Property Damaged but No Lives Are Lost Celery Crop Probably Ruined. A cyclone accompanied by a cloud burst and hailstorm swept over Kala mazoo Saturday and a conservative esti mate places the damage resulting; at $100,000.

Thirty-six men, women nnd children were killed and 65 were injured at least nine fatally in the wrecking of a trolley on the outskirts of Tacoma, Wash,, Wednesday. The excursionists 104 of them boarded a tfolley car at Edison, a sub urb, nt 8:30 o'clock. They were en route to the city to view the civic parade. The car bowled along at a good speed. Where the tracks turned from Delin street the car suddenly lurched and left the rails. The motorman was powerless to check its speed. A gulch 120 feet deep yawned below. Only a slight rail of wood ran along the edge of the preci pice. Ibis was shattered like a reed. Frantic screams filled the air as the panic-stricken passengers were borne to certain death. Half way down the side of the gulch rojecting rocks stopped the car for a moment. Such was the force of the im pact that its timbers were wrenched apart mil those inside were crushed in to a mass. When the car struck the bot tom of the gulch only those in the cen ter 01 me car were auve. The bodies of the dead arc shockingly mangled. Most of the injured were al most beyond recognition because of frightful cuts about the head nnd body, from which the blood ran in streams. SIX PERSONS DROWNED.

They were picked up by the Eftie D. and the Smith. None of the Corrigan bodies have been recovered. The stories of the crew rescued from the Idler nnd the crew of the boats which rescued them do not agree. It is claimed that the crew of the Idler made no attempt to prepare for the storm un til it was upon them. STREET CARS COLLIDE. Mortorman Killed and Ten Porsons Hurt Near Scranton, Pa. Two open cars on the Scranton (Ta.) Railway Company's Ditryca line col lided head on at 10 o'clock Sunday morning at Old Forge, killing one and injuring 11. Mischievous boys, it is supposed, tam pered with the switch signals and both cars ran into the same block. Midway between the switches is a deep hollow, its sides forming a sharp angle. A curve too feet up the northerly hill ob structed the view of the opposite hollow. The two cars plunged into the hollow and met in the dip. 1 lie northbound car with five passen gers aboard telescoped the other which had on 62 passengers and ploughed through its front as far as the third seat. Business Done by Railways. The interstate commerce commission reports that in the year ending June 30, 1800, 16 railroads were placed in re ceivers' hands and 30. removed. The total single track mileage was 180.204- an increase of 2.808 for the year. Total mileage of all kinds of track was 252,- .164. Kailroads in 1800 employed 028.024 persons or an increase of 54.3'Vi. The amount of railway capital outstanding was $11,033,954.81)8. The amount of capital stock paving 110 dividends was $3,275,500,181. The number of passen gers carried was 52.l.l7o,50f(. lhe Ireight weighed 050.703,583 tons. The railways' gross earnings were $i,3i3,3io.bi, an increase for the year of $06,284,407. The number of persons killed was 7,123, and the number hurt was 44,020. Havana's Now Charter. Telegrams from Havana, dated Sun day, say: The new charter of the city of Havana will go into effect immediate ly after its publication, this week. The powers of the recently elected officials arc greatly increased. They arc given authority as to the widening, grading and cleaning of streets, put 111 charge of water supply nnd given supervision of the sanitary arrangements. Neither the central nor provincial government can intervene in such matters. Gen. Wood will probably pay a short visit to the United States, leaving on Saturday, to consult with Secretary jf War Root regarding the coming consti tutional convention. Filipinos Are Enlisting. The war department has been inform cd of the organization of a squadron of Philippine cavalry by Lieutenant Colonel Wilbcr E. Wilder, Forty-third infantry, U. S. V., consisting of four troons of native scouts, having a maxi mum of 120 men to a troop, engaged to serve until June 30, 1901, unless sooner discharged. The barracks nt Caloocan have been designated as the rendezvous of the squadron. A Grave Situation. Secretary John D. Long, shortly after his arrival at his home at Bingham Mass., from Washington, in speaking of the situation in China, said: "The situ ntion is a very grave one. There ha3 been no official news from there, and even a message that we not from Kempff came by runners. The purpose 01 the American government is to pro tect American lives and American prop ert, and not aggrandizement." He said the government would not send . aiiy more warshias to CUina at ureseat. British Lost Over 3,000 Last Month -Coers Release Prisoners. While the news from China continues to completely overshadow events in South Africa, these have by no means ceased to be worthy of record. When it is understood that the last month's casualties, from June 3 to - Tuly 5, amounted to over 3,000, including !,2oo deaths, it will be realized that the later chapters of the war, though compara tively unheralded, have been terribly grim. When is it going to end? Is the question heard on nil sides. The meas ure of the organized Boer resistance is evidently no criterion of what the cost will be to ureat liritain in previous lives. Unless Lord Roberts is planning some move of which the news is carefully kept secret, it seems there is to be many weary weeks of guerrilla fighting ahead of the British forces. The officer commanding at Lady- smith reports that 200 British prisoners, members of the Yoemanry, the Derby shire regiment nnd the militia, have been put over the Natal border by the Boers, who evidently found the prison ers too much of a tax on their resources. No officers were with the prisoners. ARMY TO BE INCREASED. Ntaro Than Six Thousand Regulars Ordered to the Far East, The military force of the United States in China will probably be in creased to 11,000 men. As a result of a thorough consideration of the subject by the secretary of war, Lieutenant General Miles and Adjutant General Corbin, orders were issued by the war department Saturday afternoon for the dispatch of 6,254 regular troops to the Philippines, with a view to their utiliza tion in China in case it is found neces sary to divert them to that country. These troops are intended primarily to relieve the volunteers in the Philippines, ami will only be diverted to China in the event that circumstances demand it. The force is made tip of two bat talions each of the Fifteenth, Second, Fifth and Eighth infantry, two squad rons each of the First and Ninth cavalry, one squadron of the Third cavalry and a company of engineers. these troops will he forwarded as rapidly as transportation arrangements can be perfected, nnd the entire fleet of transports nt San I rancisco and iNcw Y'ork will be employed in the work.

The division of customs nnd insular affairs of the war department has made public a statement showing the total imports at the port of Manila for iSo. Merchandise to the value of $17,450,412 was imported during the year, whicn with $100,065 in gold and $1,141,302 in silver coin, brings the total importations for iPqq to $18,701,469.

The place was surrounded by the pursuers, but after an hour search the pursuit was given uo. TERRIBLE SPECTACLE. Long Llsl of Injured and Death Rato Expected lo Reach 20 Parkersburg, W. Va., the 8cene. ' The most disastrous nccldent that ev er occurred at Parkersburg, W. Va., happened near the Ohio River railroad shops about 7:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. A tank car, containing C,ooo gallons oi nnptha, was struck by an en gine, knocking a hole in the car, which caught fire. Every effort was made to move the car froin'thc track nnd the fire department was called out. General upt. Hamilton, with nearly every of ficial at the roundhouse, went out with a crowd of men, and nil were around the car when it exploded, sending 6,000 gal lons of Mazing oil into the air, and scat tering death nnd destruction. The car was torn to pieces, part being thrown inlo the freight house, 300 feet down the track; then down 1,000 feet toward the roundhouse, and part among the houses of the roadside. Crowds of men and boys standing around were literally torn to pieces and the remains of several were entirely missing. Shreds of flesh and bone were picked up on the roadbed ami in the corn field, which was blackened for 200 feet on each side oi the track. DEPUTY MARSHAL KILLED. Four Handed Shooting Affray In Kentucky. Two Others Will Die. In Mnriba, Menifee county, Ky.,a four- handed shooting affray occurred Sunday between Deputy United Slates mar shals and desperate mountain men, in which one man was killed and two mortally wounded.

When the smoke cleared away Stamper, with his revolver chambers empty, saw Wilson dead upon the ground and Day and Bush fatallv wounded. Wilson was nt one time deputy revenue collector for the Sterling district and was a daring raider of moonshiners' stills. lAPAN'S TRACE. Many Thousand Dollars' Worth of Oil Well Machinery Purchased. As an evidence of what Americans think of the oil fields in Japan, the steamship Hudson sailed for Yoko homa Monday morning from Philadel phia with 5.000 tons of the latest pat tern oil well machinery aboard. The Standard Oil Company is shipping this material, which was near ly all manufactured in and about Pitts burg, la. lhc consignment is wortri $.icq.ooo and will be used by the big trust in developing its own territory. Heretofore what" little foreign ma chinery for oil well drilling has been used by the Japs was procured in Eng land and Germany. The Hudson's car go is the first going from this country, but undoubtedly not bv any means the last. K. Okasachi, of Tokio, represent ing one of the largest native importing houses in Japan, was in Pittsburg for two weeks in June and purchased a good many thousands of dollars worth of oil drilling machinery. Big Coal Land Doals. A block of about 2.000 acres of coal in Wtst Finlcy township, Washington county. Pa., has been sold to Fayette parties, and payments will be made as seen as title abstracts are ready. Most oi the land is optioned at less than $13 an acre. It is remote from railroads, and will be held as an investment. In Nr rth Strabanc township, near Can onsburg, the coal under the farm of tho Quail estate and the Rasel farm, ad joining, about 500 acres all told, was sold this week to the Pittsburg Coal Co., through L. A. Russell, at $100 per acre. LEGACY FOR SALVATIONISTS. Pi-oporty Valued at $20,000 Left to the Army by Flndlay, Ohio, Woman. The will of Mrs. C. T.
