r Washington, Aug. 13. Apparently
fiDsai-tsun lins been occupied and one-luilf
or more of the distance between Tien
tsin and Peking covered by the interna
tional relief expedition. This conclusion
is reached by the war department from
the following dispatch received from Ma
jor General Chaffee yesterday under
* date of Toi-tsuu on Wednesday last:
. "Message deceived today:
" 'Peking, Aug. 4. —We will hold on
until your arrival. Hope it will be soon.
Send such information us you can.
" 'CONGER.' "
General Chaffee says nothing about an
advance, but his dispatch is dated at
"Toi-tsun," which the officials believe to
be Tsai-tsun, u town six miles beyond
Yuug-tsun, on the way to Peking by the
highway along the Pei-110.
If the advance was at Tsai-tsun on
Wednesday, it is believed that by this
time the army has reached or passed
Lang-fung, six miles beyond that point
and übout half way to Peking.
As General Chaffee simply transmits
the message received from Minister Con
ger and says nothing of any fighting it is
believed that the advance to Tsai-tsun
was probably unopposed by uny consid
erable body of Chinese.
Lang-fang is an important place, and
there may have been a light there, though
the war department officials would not
bo astonished if the Chinese forces laid
retreated to strong positions nearer to
Peking.
That General Chaffee is not yet in
communication with the Chinese govern
ment is evidenced by his dispatch. lie
will have full power to conduct any ne
gotiations that mqy be necessary.

London, Aug. 13.—"The sooner we can
be got out of this the better, for it is in
tonvenieut for the Chinese government
and unsafe for ourselves." This is a
message received last evening from Sir
Robert Ilart, dated at Peking, Aug. 5,
anil sent in cipher to the Chinese mari
time customs office in London. Sheng,
director general of railroads and tele
graphs, according to a Shanghai dispatch
to The Standard, expresses grave fears
for the safety of the members of the le
gations when the defeated Chinese troops
return to the capital.
'• KAISER TO PRESIDENT.
Says Our Array With Kuro|ic'i Ar
mloa Will He IrrcNlat Ihle.
Washington, Aug. 13.— I The state de
partment has made public the following
memorandum, in which the United States
made known to Germany its acqui
escence in the selection of Count von
Wnldersee to lead the allies in China;
"The government of tin* United States
will be much gratified to secure the com
mand of so distinguished and experienced
an officer as Count von Wuldersee for
any combined military operations in
which the American troops take part
after the arrival of that officer in China
to attain the purposes declared by this
government in the circular note delivered
to the powers under date of July 3.
"The general commanding the Ameri
can forces in China has already been au
thorized to agree with other commanders
as to a common official direction of the
various forces in their combined opera
tions, preserving the integrity of his
American division as a separate organi
zation. A copy of this communication
will be transmitted to him.
"AH a considerable time must elapse
before Count Wnldersee can reach Chi
na and conditions are rapidly changing
it would seem desirable to ionve ques
tions of method to be determined in
view of the conditions which may then
exist. The suggestion of his majesty
the German emperor that one or more
military officers of each nationality
should be attached to the headquarters of
Count Wnldersee to maintain communi
cation with the national contingent
meets the approval of this government."
The communication of this memoran
dum having been made as directed, the
president received the following con
gratulatory telegram from the German
emperor:
"His Excellency the President of the
United States:
"I received with pleasure the decision
of the United States that American and
German soldiers shall light, together for
the common cause of elvilzntion under
one commander in chief. The brave
army of your country, which hns shown
of late so many warlike qualities, united
with Europe, will be irresistible. Field
Marshal Count Wnldersee, who will
have the honor of leading your forces, is
hot a stranger to America. Ilis wife is
an American by birth. I beg your ex
cellency to accept my heartfelt thanks
for the confidence of the United States
placed in the leadership of Count vom
Waldersee."

How tlit* Accident Occurred,
The accident occurred about 5 o'clock.
The omnibus, driven by a man named
Peters, was returning to Slatington from
a funeral the occupants had been attend
ing at Cherrysville. The Coach belonged
to Ilenry Rittner of Slatington, and the
dead and injured were nearly all rela
tives of Sophia Sclioeffer, at whose ob
sequies they had been present. The
train was a special and consisted of an
engine and one car. At the point at
which the collision occurred there is a
sharp curve in the road, and the omnibus
came along at a good rate of speed, the
occupants being unconscious of any im
pending danger. As the bus swung
arouud the curve the engine and cai
came in sight. It was too late to stop
either the omnibus or the train, and as
the driver of the former whipped up the
four horses to cross the track ahead of
the train the latter crashed into its mid
dle. The occupants were thrown in all
directions, bruised and bleeding. The 11
dead were killed outright. Physicians
and a special train were sent for, and
the injured were taken to South Bethle
hem.
No watchman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of an approaching
train, and those living in the vicinity
state that it is impossible to hear an ap
proaching train.
A feature of the accident was that the
horses drawing the bus escaped unhurt.

DEATH IN STORM.
Fourteen Killed In >ew York and
Vicinity.
New York, Aug. 13.—One of the most
disastrous summer storms New York has
experienced in years swept over the city
yesterday afternoon, leaving death and
wreckage in its wake. It brushed aside
the heat wave, cooled the atmosphere and
then quickly subsided.
Fourteen persons were killed by drown
ing. by lightning strokes, by heart strokes
and by fire the direct results of the storm
in and around New York.
Small boats were rocked upon fierce
waves where a few moments before per
fect calm had prevailed. In many in
stances they were overturned, and their
merrymaking occupants were battling
for their lives in the seething waters.
The lightning struck many places, inflict
ing instant death to some and playing
pranks upon others who received its full
shock.
The most peculiar incident of the storm
was perhaps the escape of James Brown
and his family on the heights above
Highbridge. Brown had started for a
day's outing with his wife, their five
children and two neighbors.
When the rain began to fall, they took
refuge under a big tree, as an umbrella
was almost useless. A bolt of lightning
passed through the tree, and the entire
party fell stunned and almost stripped.
They had lost their clothes, their shoos
had been ripped from their feet, they had
been burned, but all will recover. The
infant in Mrs. Brown's arms was practi
cally uninjured.
Edward E. Bonner, a Brooklyn cyclist,
was killed at Bayshore. A boy standing
near him was paralyzed by the shock, and
nine other persons were knocked down
and stunned.
Two men were burned to death in n
barn near Flushing, N. Y„ while trying
to save cows, and n boy in the same
neighborhood was instantly killed by a
stroke.
Many excursionists had thrilling expe
riences on the big pleasure steamers and
barges that were out during the storm.
The only casualties reported, however,
were to those who had ventured out in
smaller craft.
At Tennfly, N. J., one woman was
killed and three others so seriously injur
ed by a single bolt that they will probably
die. When the storm came up, Mrs.
Noutli and her two daughters, Lizzie
and Nellie, and a woman friend were
sitting under a grape arbor back of the
house. When the storm was upon tlieni,
they jumped up and ran for the house.
As they were running a bolt struck in
their midst and killed Miss Lizzie Nouth.
Nellie Nouth was frightfully burned
about the body and face, and her moth
er was also burned in about the same
manner. The visitor, whose name has
not been learned here, was burned as
were the mother and daughter and also
had her nose cut off by the flash of fire.
The three injured women are said to be
in immediate danger of death.
SERIOUS NAVAL DISASTER.
Fifty Men Drowned ly Sinking ol
French Torpedo lloat.
Paris, Aug. 13.—During maneuvers ot
the French fleet off Cupe St. Vincent a
collision occurred between the first class
battleship Brcnnus, Hying the flag of
Vice Admiral Founder, commander ot
the tleet, and the torpedo boat destroyer
Framee.
The Framee sank immediately. The
accident was duo to the fact that the
Framee turned to the right when ordered
to the left.
Details thus far received are very mea
ger. but only a small portion of the crew,
consisting of four officers and 58 men,
were saved. It is believed that no fewer
than 50 were lost, and great anxiety is
felt here.
The Framee, which was of 313 tons
iisplacenient. was a recent addition to
the French navy.
It is known that out of the crew of 50
jnly fourteen were saved. Among those
lost were three officers, Captain Man
duit dn Plossix, the second lieutenant
and the chief engineer.
Admiral Founder, in a dispatch from
Cadiz, says that at the time of the ac
cident tlie Brcnnus was steaming ahead
of the Framee on tin? left. The flagship
and the torpedo boat destroyer were ex
changing luminous signals, when the lat
ter approached too near the Brcnnus.
The captain of the Framee ordered his
helmsman to steer 30 degrees to the left
while he increased speed. The man mis
understood or badly executed the order,
steering to the right, which brought the
destroyer under the rail of the Brcnnus,
her frame being cut in twain.
The Framee, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was a recent addition to
the French navy.

When No. H came into Urbana, I boarded
the express car, and Mr. Lane, knowing
me and knowing that I had been a mes
senger. let mo in the car. I cannot tell
how long I was in the car nor where
I got off and have hut little recollection
of what occurred. I know that when
I got ready to go to work Mr. Lane was
standing with his hack to mo. I fired
on him. and he started to run for the
door. He did not make n sound until
ho got to the door. When he got there,
ho criod out. I shot several times, emp
tying my gun. I then took the money
and goods from the safe and then shot
Lane again with his own revolver.
"I do not know how many times I
hot him with his own revolver. I left
the car at the next stop. I did not
know the name of the town, and a man
told me where I could find a hotel. I
wont to n room and fixed the envelopes
and other evidence of the robbery and
made them up in a package to get rid
of them and shipped them to Loekport,
N. Y., in the name of C. W. Caylor by
way of Cleveland.
"After getting the money I did not
count it and do not yet know how much
there was of it. I could not sleep. Sat
