Shanghai correspondents learn that the Russians were defeated north of New Chwang. and that a body 5,00 strong is ndeavorlnsr to relieve the force besieged at Toshi-Chow by 4o. Chinese and numerous guns. Four Russian steamers onhe Amur river are paid to have been sunk or damaged by the Chinese force. The military commander at Shanghai have formally 'notified the vonsuls there that the enlistments now being made are for the protection of foreigners, and have expres.-ed the hope that they will not entertain groundless fears or suspicions, adding that the increase of the army is entirely , to secure their safety. As target practice at the Chine forts alarms foreigners at Shanghai, the commanders announce it will b- abandoned. The smuggling of arms continues. A Junk was seized at Canton on Wednesday, Aug. 1. with seventy rifles and lO.uoO cartridges on board. Foreigners at Macao fear an attack. An imperial irade authorizes the passage of the JJophorouM by Russian transports, - with war material bound for China. News agency dispatches dated at Shanghai, Aug. 2. say the ferocious LI Ping Hong, formerly Governor of Shan-Tung, has arrived at Peking with a large following of troops. On the way north he killed two French priests and many hundred convert?. LI Hung Chang is alleged to have sent a message to Peking to keep Li Ping Hong quiet. The parliamentary secretary for the Foreign Office. Mr. William St. John Uroderlck, aid yesterday In the House of Commons that the government had no fresh Information from China. It was not true, he tali, that operations by the allies were delayed by the Uritish contingent. On the contrary, the last information from General Gaselee was to the effect that his troops were ready and would shortly advance, and that he-anticipated the co-operation of the allies.

FAVOR SKVKHi: PIMSII3IENT. Merchant und 3IIIonarIe Think Chlua Should De Tanftht a Lesson. Copyright. 1. by the Associated Press. CJIK-FOO. July 2D, via Shanghai, Aug. 2. Public opinion and the foreign press at the treaty ports are alarmed at the possibility that the Chinese would prevail on the powers to consent to the establishment of peace without inflicting punishment befitting the- Chinese government's crime. OSlcfals, persons engaged In commercial pursuits and missionaries of all nationalities are remarkably united. They believe Pekingshould be destroyed as an object lesson, and that If the dynasty is continued 'It.., should be forced to establish the capital at some accessible city, the Americans suggesting Nan-King. This Is considered important, as the Chinese always believed that China defeated the. powers in "isM because the capital remained Intact. It is also thought that guarantees to prevent excessive armament should be demanded and that China should be compelled, publicly and definitely, to renounce the fiction that the foreign ministers . are representatives of tributary jowers. There is a strong demand for unusual punishment, like the destruction of the Kings Tombs. The American and Kngllsh missionaries advocate a programme similar to the foregoing. All foreigners believe that the Chinese government engineered the outbreaks and tried to call off its troops after the downfall of Tlen-Tsln and the recelpt of reports that the powers are sending armies to China. A German legation telegram, saying that the bombardment of the legations ceased on July 17, supports this theory. The foreigners think the ministers who suffered should. If rescued, conduct the settlement" with the government, for the effect It would have on the populace. An Intensely bitter feeling prevails against LI Hung Chang. The papers denounced the honor paid him at Hong-Kong and Shanghai, call him the most corrupt anti-foreign official in China and express the belief that he proposes to save China from the penalty of her acts by embroiling the powers. The destruction of foreign property continues. United States Consul Fowler estimates that the losses of the American missions amount to $1,500,000. The trade losses through su?iensIon of trade are enormous. Chinese bring stories of horrible outrages upon native Christians, who. have been murdered, tortured, or compelled to renounce their religion. Several have been skinned alive. Two French nuns at NewChwang were deliberately burned alive. Lr. Ting, a graduate of the American College, refused to renounce Christianity after receiving 2.00 lashes. A cable is being laid between Che-Foo and Taku. The land line between CheFoo and Shanghai Is managed and operated no CHANGE IN WEATHER. Generally Fair Throughout Indiana To-Day and To-3Iorrow.

Xorry, However, They Cannot Do JItieh TonuriU Relief of Peking. UKHLIX, Aug. 3. A German Forcisn Office official said to the correspondent of the Associated I'ress to-day: "If the allied forces advance upon Peking without a chief commander and if the commanders of the different contingents believe they can manege In this way. the matter must be left to their discretion and the powers must be fattened with it. We hope that during the advance all the troops will agree and attempt to do the best possible. Then success is feasible, even under such unfavorable conditions. Germany regrets that unavoidable circumstances render it Impossible for her to Join the Peking expedition with a corps of commensurate size; but Germans, without Jealousy, will applaud th successes achieved by others." Most of the German papers discuss the n atter In a similar strain, regretting that "Hrltlsh incompetence" again retards the advance. Some say that, inasmuch as England Is not ready, tne others should proceed without her. One or two Journals, taking a somewhat different view, say it looks precisely as if the advance without waiting for German reinforcements were undertaken to settle matters before the Germans pre on the scene in greater strength, pointing out that the allied forces at Tlen-Tsln are no stronger now than they were when it was claimed they were too weak for an advance. The debate In the British Parliament regarding the Chinese situation is commented en here fairly and without passion. The National Zeitung says: "The programme of Great Britain as Mr. Broderick outlines it, is substantially the same as Germany's so far as is known." A detachment of six from the Kaiserin' regiment, about going to China, received personally from Emperor William 'photographs of his Majesty and an equal number of stomach protectors. A proclamation has been Issued in all army districts throughout Germany requiring lists to be drawn up of all privates and noncommissioned officers who volunteered for China service from 18S3 to 1S9S. Emperor William has conferred decorations upon the employes of the North Ger7 man Lloyd and Hamburg American steamship lines thanking them for the devotion and self-sacrifice they exhibited In loading the transports for China, in which service the Emperor declared they had proved themselves men of honor. "Devoid pf honor," ald his Majesty, "Is the. man who does not stretch out t helping hand to his country in her hour r.f need." STUEF.TS RAN WITH BLOOD. Peklnfc in a State of Anarchy on July lf Appeal from LeatIoners. Copyright, 1900. by the Associated Press. CHE-FOO, July 26, via Shanghai, Aug. 2. The latest reports from Peking were brought by disaffected officers of the Chinese army. They are considered reliable. The officers left Peking on July 15. They say anarchy had reigned In Peking for months and the streets ran with blood, the Chinese fighting among themselves. Yung Lu, conTinander-in-chlef of the Chinese forces, and Prince Chlng espoused the cause of the foreigners and endeavored, with the part of the army loyal to them, to expel the Boxers. Later, wUh the majority of the Imperial troops, under anti-foreign leaders, Prince Tuan and General Tung Fur Sian were victorious, and Yung Lu and Prince Chlng, with their followers, were prisoners In their yamens when the bearers of these reports left Peking. Prince Tuan and Gen. Tung Fur Slan appear to control the government, according to the officers, and Issued edicts, printed in the Gazette, exhorting the Chinese to kill all foreigners and native Christians. One officer says there are 16,000 troops in Peking, including Tung's army, and fc.OOO more at Yung-Tsun. The soldiery hold all the streets within a mile of the legations. The foreign troops, when the officers left Peking, had burned and abandoned the Chen-Men gate. Their ammunition appeared to be failing and their qvlck-firing guns had been silenced for some days before July 15, and they, were using their rifles only when hard pressed. The officers said that every foreign bullet kills a Chinaman. The report states that the American and English troops defeated General Ma in a night battle on July 10. The reports from Chinese sources are to the effect that all of the legations' forces were killed. Chinamen caught a messenger who was trying to leave the legations on July 10 with the following message: "To any foreign commander Make all haste if you intend to save us. We can hold out but a few days." , A Military 3IIstnke. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. A dispatch to the World from London says: "This fresh advance upon Peking I believe will prove a terrible military and political mistake," said Mr. Pritchard Morgan. "My latest information,", he continued, "is that there ore 70.00Ö Chinese troops between Tien-Tsin and Peking, and probably 300,XM) in and around Peking itself. This expedition probably will be compelled to return like Admiral Seymour's. Besides, the Chinese government may lose the power to protect the legations any longer when the news that a foreign army is advancing becomes known. The release of the ministers could have been secured by LI Hung Chang if the powers had consented to negotiate through him. But the ministers refuse to leave Peking because while they are there the Chinese government is responsible." Ciunn Captured bjr IluawiaiiH. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.-Gencral GroedkofT telegraphs from Khabrovsk Aug. 1 that fourteen Hotchklss and ten other guns were captured at Hung-Hun by the Russians, who, storming the fortress Monday, July 30, drove 4.000 Chinese before them.

It I Showing More Aetlvlty Than Other OH DUtrlcta. Fleclal to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTFfcLIER. Ind., Aug. 3. The oil business in the Indiana field is looking Lrighter within the past week than it has for several months. The report of operations for the month of July with a decline In new work under way of 103, made things look a little blue, but it has now passed over and operators are now making arrangements to push the drill. The market price of the product Is very steady and that will help operations along. As long bs the price remains at a figure close to what it now is the operatorsf will drill test wells, and at the same time will drill up their old holdings, in every Instance where there is any chance of finding the crude product. The old district of Wells county is the most active, but a boom points toward the Alexandria field, where a number of good producers are being drilled In. It is a fact that a number of failures have been recorded as far as oil Is concerned, but In nearly every instance they are gas wells und prove money makers for their owners. The daily production of the Alexandria field is close to 4tf barrels and Is being increased as rapidly as new wells can be drilled In. The best well In that field is the l.lppincotfs Heritage farm well that is ttill pumping a hundred barrels a day, and probably will do so for months to come as ;t has already showed the best cf staying qualities.

BREWER RESTRAINED. Sold Ills I'lnnt to a Trout, and He 3Iut ot Interfere. CHICAGO. Aug. 3. Judge Jenkins, of the United States Circuit Court, to-day granted a temporary injunction to the United Breweries Company, restraining the Stair Brewery Company and Patrick H. Rice, who controls it, from Interfering with the production of beer and other business transactions. The Star brewery had been barricaded for four days by thirty men, acting under Mr. Rice's instructions, but to-day they yielded to the injunction. . Mr. Rice's contention is that the combination represented by the United Breweries Company Is illegal, and that when he sold to it the Star brewery the transfer of title was not valid. He seeks to withdraw and to return what he received in lieu of the trade. The case is said to present many features similar to the famous Glucose case, wherein the Supreme Court held the Glucose Sugar Refinery Company to be an illegal combination. First Step.
