ALLIES BEGIN ADVANCE. Twenty-six Thousand Troops on the March. BRITISH AND AMERICANS LATE, Delayed by Difficulties of DIHCIB. bit rkatlon, General Chaffee 1)1(1 \ot Start With the Kent—General Yuma ehaehi Iu Command. London, Aug. 0. —The American and British forces begun the advance to Pe king on last Thursday, according to a dibputch dated on Aug. 2 l'roin Tien-tsiu to The Daily Express. The correspondent says: "The other foreign troops ure now half way to Lofu. The force includes 20,000 Japanese under General Yainaehuchi and 10,OUO Russians. The British force totals 9,000, uud the other foreign troops are 7,000. We are weak in artillery. "On Aug. 1 a strong force of Chinese from the native city attacked Tien-tsiu. By a series of brilliant charges our troops drove the enemy from their positions. The native city is still defiant, uud the allies ure unwilling to march troops through the streets, as this would mean au immense slaughter. When the Chi nese saw so large a body of troops march ing westward, they apparently believed they would have en easy victory over those who were left." A message to the same paper from a correspondent in Peking, dated July 22, says: "The women have borne all the horrors with marvelous fortitude and even with cheerfulness. The Chinese wanted peace when the arsenals at Tien-tsiu were cap tured, and the negotiations bade fair to be successful. Unfortunately Li Ping Ileng and Ivang Yu (?) arrived here at the critical moment uud overthrew the peace party. "Food has been short, but not terribly so, though we have hud to be very care ful." A Shanghai special, dated Aug. 4, says: "The first overt attack upon foreigners occurred this morning. Three Chinese, supposed to be soldiers in disguise, fired ut a well known English resident while he was lying asleep on the veranda of his house. He hud a narrow escape. "From various sources come state ments that u large body of Boxers, some estimating them at 3,000, is gathering south of Tien-tsiu and threutcnciug com munications." A Tien-tain dispatch, dated Aug. 1, to Berlin gives a.report of an imperial edict issued July 27 ordering the recapture of Taku and Tien-tsiu by troops from Shangtung and the south. Detailed accounts of the reconuois sance of July 30 say that the enemy's guns that were attacked near Peitsang were only the advanced post, and Peit sang, it is believed, can only be captured after a hard struggle. General Gaselee and bis stuff accompanied the recon noissunce, but no British troops were engaged. Scymour'w Visit to Nankin. The Daily Mail publishes this dispatch, dated Sunday, from its special corre spondent ut Shanghai: "Admiral Seymour has returned from Nankin, where he has had an important interview with the viceroy. The ad miral's arrival in Nankin caused great excitement. Thousands gathered to see the admiral, as it was currently reported that he hud come to Nankin to study the strategic points with a view to military occupation. It required great care ami tact on the part of the authorities to muintuin order. "Admiral Seymour dined with the vice roy twice. Their conversation was most pleasant. Liu Kun Yi stated that the present troubles were wholly due to the Boxers and had caused the greatest re gret to the Chinese government. The admiral answered that he knew the ori gin of the trouble was due to the Box er rising and that the occupation of the Taku forts was meant to suppress the Boxers and was not an act of war against the Chinese government. lie had no intention of proceeding up the Yang-tso and would return immediately to Shanghai. "The Japanese authorities have taken umbrage at Admiral Seymour's visit to Nankin. They express every desire to net iu perfect accord with the British and are not u little chagrined at Soy mour's sudden departure and his failure to- inform them of his visit and its ob ject." A dispatch to The Morning Post from Chefu, duted July 30, says: "The Russians at Tien-tsin refuse to allow the Americans to put up telephone wires on the railroad poles, ami they claim the railroad, which English engi neers are ready to work. The situation is critical. The river is full of rail road sleepers. Hundreds of dead bodies of Chinese, some decapitated, are flout ing in the stream." WORD FROM CONGER. Bclutcd MCSNIIU'C IlriiiKN Cheering New*. Washington, Aug. O.—A belated mes sage from Minister Conger was received yesterday at the state department. It came through Consul General Good now, at Shanghai, who transmitted messages received by Mr. Rngsdale, United States consul at Tien-tsin, from Mr. Conger and Mr. Squiers, secretary of the United States legation at Peking. In effect the advices are the same as those received a day or two ago by the state depart ment from Consul Fowler, ut Chefu. Mr. Goodnow's message was transmitted to President McKinley At Canton, and Mr. Adee, acting secretary of state, later in the day issued the following statement concerning it: "Consul General Ooodnow, in a cable gram dated Shanghai, Aug. 5, which was received at the department of state at 4 o'clock this (Sunday) morning, reports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale at Tien tsin of messages from Minister Conger and the secretary of the legation, Mr. Squiers, dated July 21, to the following effect: " 'All well. No fighting since the 10th by agreement. Enough provisions, llope for speedy relief.' "Mr. Ooodnow adds that the director of posts, Sheng, had on the sth communi cated to him an imperial edict, dated July 30, ordering Jung Lu to provide an escort for the ministers to Tien-tsin when tie ministers lix the date. The edict says the ministers can receive messages not in cipher, but notwithstanding this plain messages were returned to some consuls on Aug. 4." While the messages from Minister Con ger and Secretary Squiers bear date of July 21 the belief founded not only upon them, but nlso upon collateral and Inter Information, is that the legationers arc vet safe from at least immediate harm. At present there is no means of knowing whether the ministers will accept the of fer of the Chinese imperial government to provide an escort for them to Tien tsin. but it is surmised they will prefer to remain within the British legation at Peking until the arrival of the allied forces. Should they leave for Tien-tsin in nil probability it would be because they regarded it the safer course to purine. It is thought to be not unlikely that the Chinese government may be very insist ent upon the departure of the ministers in the hope if they can be got to Tien tsin in safety the storming of Peking may be averted. China's Concessions. Paris, Aug. O.—Sheng, director general of railways and telegraphs, has just com municated to the consuls at Shanghai, according to a dispatch to the Temps, dated Aug. 5, an imperial decree, dated Aug. 2. It authorises the foreign min isters in Peking to communicate without restriction with their governments and orders their departure for Tien-tsin un der a strong escort. The Shanghai cor respondent of the Temps, telegraphing yesterday, says: "The number of allies leaving Tien-tsin is no better known hero than are the facts as to the inarch it self, but it is rumored that the ad vance gunrd has been repulsed." Wu Believes Hie Report. Cape May, N. J., Aug. o.—Minister Wu Ting Fang last niglit said that the dispatch to the Paris Temps stating an imperial decree was issued under (late of Aug. 2 allowing the ministers to Peking free communication with their home countries was probably true and the re sult of the memorial of the Chinese min isters in ail countries asking through Li Hung Chang and other viceroys for this privilege.

The physician arrived nt 12 o'clock and remained with his distinguished patient three hours. It appears that the secre tary has been working on bis surplus nerve energy for several weeks past, and on arriving here the change to absolute relaxation was so great that he gave way. He also contracted a bad cold on the May from Washington, but pneumo nia is not anticipated unless unforeseen complications arise. Ilis malady is un doubtedly nervous exhaustion, brought on by his arduous labors in the Chinese crisis. A month's rest is expected to effect a complete cure. (■old Itrick Swindler Arrested.

Holds Up a Union Pacific Pas senger Train. ONE MAN WHO EESISTED KILLED, Bandits Board Train at Midnight and Compel Occupants of Berths to Give I'p Tlielr Jewelry und Money All Fscupe. Salinu, Ivan., Aug. O.—A Union Pacific cast bound train was held up several miles west of Hugo, Colo., 00 miles this side of Deliver. The passengers in the Pullman sleepers were robbed of theii money and valuables. An old man named Fay, a resident of California, who had been visiting in Denver and was on his way to St. Louis, refused to surren der bis valuables and tired a shot ut one of the robbers, but missed. Thereupon the robbers tired, one shot entering Fay's mouth and coming out at the back of his head, killing him almost instantly. The robbers stopped the train, jumped off and escaped. Charles V. Fyke, a Kansas City law yer. was among those robbed. Mr. Fyke gives a graphic description of the murdei of Mr. Fay. lie said: "Near Limon two men were discovered on the platform of the rear Pullman. The Pullman conductor, I). P. Smith, mistook them for tramps and ordered them to the smoking car and at the next stop to leave the train. "They entered the car and at once drew revolvers. Doth Hashed weapons in the conductor's face. One handed him a flour sack. 'Hold it with both hands,' said he. 'and wake up the passengers.' Then they began a systematic search ot the car. "It was in scniidarkness. and all the passengers had retired hours before. One robber guarded the conductor, while tlm other extorted money and valuables from the dazed passengers at the point of the revolver. All the passengers in the rem Pullman were soon plundered, mid then tlie bandits entered the forward Pullman, where I was. An aged man, A. .1. Fay, discovered what was taking place before any one else in the car. lie partially emerged from his berth and presented a revolver through the folds of the curtain. The bandits saw the revolver, and one-ot them opened lire. At Ihe same time Fay fired, and it is believed I lie bullet struck one of the men. Fay fell like a log. The bullet bad entered bis mouth and passed through his head, causing instant death. Ilis blood and brains were scattered over the bud coverings. Shot nt the Porter. "At the moment of the shooting the train porter entered the car. and at once the men covered him with their revolvers and commanded him to throw up his hands, lie turned and ran toward the cliair car. The robbers followed him, and as the porter entered the chair ear one of them deliberately raised his pistol and sent n bullet after him. The bullet failed in its mission, and the men turned to the Pullman conductor and ordered him to stop the train. He pulled the rope, but the train did not slow down. 'Pull harder,' one of them commanded, and the conductor again struggled with the rope and so hard that it parted. 'Un couple the cars,' they then ordered, but he explained to them it was a task he could not perform. For a dozen miles oi more the train proceeded until it pulled into Hugo. Then the robbers compelled the conduetor to alight first, ami with a muttered 'Goodby' they walked south at a brisk pace. "As near as I can judge tliey boarded the train at 1:20 a, m. They were on board nearly an hour, hut after the shoot ing they were in absolute command. The male passengers could do nothing, and the women acted admirably." AnnrelilMt lliot In Cliicnvw.

Bent of Philadelphia, a Presbyterian missionary who had to flee from Ching chow, in Shangtuug province, is among the arrivals on the steamer City of Pe king from Shanghai. Mr. Bent escaped with his wife and two children. He sahl: "Ching-chow Is the location of one of the newest of the Presbyterian missions in China and is 500 miles northwest of Shanghai, on the Grand canal. Warned by the massacres of missionaries and na tive Christians not many miles from our station, we escaped on June 10, packing a few belongings in a eurt and making an overland journey of 150 miles to the uearest inland port, from which we reached the coast in boats. Nearly all our personal effects had to be left be hind, including my library, and I sup pose they are destroyed by this time. Fortunately we were not assailed by the Chinese, but we were in constant terror of being massacred and were glad to es cape with our lives. With us on our trip was Miss Marshall, who was connected with another mission. "The country about Ching-chow is not infested with Boxers, but by marauding members of a similar organization called the Great Ivuife society. It was origi nally formed to repress the brigands, but it soon began to use its power for rther purposes, and last winter we began to see some of the results of its blood thirsty practices. Our native Chinese converts were persecuted, and we were forced to ask the government for pro tection. The conditions grew worse, but .t was not until recently that we begun :o fear for our own lives." • THE BOER WAR. General De Wet Reported to Be In a Trap. Pretoria, Aug. o.—General Christian De Wet is completely surrounded near Keitzberg, and it impossible for his forces to escape through the strong British cor don. The Boers say they will make u stand at Machadodorp. They are short of ammunition and food. General Ham ilton by the rapidity of his movements prevents re-enforcements reaching Com mandant General Botha. It appears that after the train carrying United States Consul Stowe and Hying the sturs and stripes was derailed at Ilonlgspruit, ! south of Krooustadt, concealed Boers fired, killing four. Many residents ot Pretoria have been sent into exile foi having behaved cruelly or shamefully to British subjects before or during the war. The terms of exile vary, in one in stance reaching 25 years. A train running between Johannesburg and Krugcrsdorp has been tired on by the Boers, although both towns are strongly held by the British. Consul General Stowe was slightly wounded in the engagement which result ed in the capture of the train on which lie was traveling. Ilis escort gallantly de fended the train, but they were overpow ered. Mounted infantry arrived just too late to be of any service in capturing the Boers. They pursued them, however, and killed six of them. Transvaal advices declare that General Baden-Powell was wounded during a re cent engagement in Rustenburg, when tin* Boers, according to their own account, took some prisoners and captured 524 wagons.

LUTHER C. SMITH, Superintendent. When Slie Goes Away, At times the thoughtless person Is It'll to Indulge In u smile ut tlio Idea that getting ready to leave town for the summer means any work on tlio woman's part. The man who Intends going away may leave the prepara tions till the last minute and simply bundle liis clothing Into a gripsack or a salt ease, and what Is the sense of any one's doing more? It is a totally different proposition, however, when there Is the arranging of the household supplies so that the milkman, the ice man and the linker will deliver their wares up to the last day and no longer anil when the larder is to be left clean and empty and yet so nicely managed that it will yield enough for the final meal. Leaving the house or the llat In proper shape means something too. The silverware, for Instance, must be properly eared for. Few housekeepers know the value of camphor gum in this connection. The silver should he put into hags as nearly airtight as possible, and into each bag should go a good sized lump of gum camphor. The bag may be made of chamois skin or of cot ton flannel. If the latter is used, get the unbleached variety, since the sul phur used in the bleaching process has a tendency toward darkening the sil ver. Green baize is also good as a cov ering for silver. But never put the sil ver away in any material that attracts the moisture.—New York Sun. The IlnuKhters' l'npll. Tlie New York city chapter, Daugh ters of the American Revolution, have graduated their first pupil from Bar nard college. In addition to paying the entire expenses of her education for tlio full term in that school, they have in their treasury about one-third of the sum necessary to found a scholarship in perpetuity lu the same school, to be known as the Mrs. Donald McLean scholarship, in honor of the regent of tlie chapter, who originated the plan. In the early autumn, as soou as tlio chapter resumes Its meetings, arrange- Ulcuts for 1111 elaborate ami unique en tertainment or fete, of not settled form as yet, will he made, tlie proceeds to go to the scholarship l'uud. In the mean time tne chapter will decide upon who tlie new beneficiary shall be, and pend ing tlie completion of tlie fund her cur rent expenses will he met. The girl just graduated comes from New Jer sey, and it is most likely that a New Yorker—who is already practically de cided upon—will be given tlie oppor tunity of going through college with out cost to her. The ouly stipulation exacted from one of these scholars put through college by the Daughters of the American Revolution of this city Is that they make American history their special study while attending.
