Considerable surprise Is expressed by the German Foreign Office it the Information communicated to Washington by General Chaffee, that the allied troops were at Ho-Si-Wu last Thursday, inasmuch as other recent dispatches had asserted that the Chinese were strongly Intrenched in front of the allies above YangTsun. The Hanover Courier, discussing the plan ol campaign, cays to-day that Foreign Offlce circles regard the success of the pressnt movement as next to impossible, and xpect that the first task of Count Von Waldersee, after his arrival at the front, will be to lead the advance upon Peking. Lieutenant Colonel Reinhold Wagner, discussing the military problem In the National Zdtung, argues that the roads leading from Peking to the Interior ought to be seized In order to prevent the escape of the rebel and that then, with an army of from seventy thousand to eighty thousand men, an advance should be made along both banks of the Pei-Ho.

Slmpllcissimus, the comic paper, has today a striking cartoon representing Chinese soldiers firing Krupp cannon on the allies. The motto Is: "People of Europe.

Presents Resolutions Adopted liy the Newspaper Publishers AssociationStrike Benefits. MILWUAKEE. Aug. 14.-Frederlck Drlscoll, commissioner of the American News1 paper Publishers' Association, addressed the International Typographical Union to-day as a representative of the special standing committee of the American Newspaper Publishing Association, making several suggestions in the interest of harmony between the publishers and the International Typographical Unions He read the resolutions which were passed at a meeting of the publishers in New York In February last, setting forth the views of the publishers in relation to various subjects of interest to employers and employes. Mr. Driscoll noted the vast aggregate of Interests embodied in the Publishers Association and stated that considerable bitterness of feeling has been engendered because of the action of the International Typographical Union in compelling proofreaders and linotype machinists to become members of the Typographical Union, which classes were' in no sense to be called printers, and these new requirements occasioned a great deal of trouble. "You are asked by the publishers." he said, "to unite with them In establishing a jcint arbitration committee to adjust disputes between publishers and local unions that cannot otherwise be settled, and to act as a board of appeal. If you will do this, a long step would be taken toward the abolition of the strike, boycott and lockout." He called attention particularly to the resolution of the publishers that the International Typographical Union make no change In its constitution or general laws bearing upon the rights or affecting the interests of the publishers without first being heard by the publishers, and that before eny new scale is submitted to the union for adoption full consultation should be had with a representative of the employers. He advocated all the differences being settled by arbitration, the men to remain at work and likewise that the employer shall not lock them out. Mr. Driscoll was well received and a motion of thanks and for the printing of his address in the proceedings was adopted. The report of the committee on laws wis then ftiken up and several sections wore acted upon, the remainder going over until to-morrow. One of the most important propositions concurred in calls for the payment to married men of $7 and single men S3 per week for eight weeks from the timo a strike is inaugurated. A proposition calling for grade benefits was adopted, also one that the reserve fund shall be used for defensive purposes only. A resolution calling for the appointment of a special committee of five to Investigate the matter of suspension of Photograph Engravers' Union No. 1. of New York city, was adopted. It Is believed a satisfactory adjustment of the trouble can bo reached nnd that the union will le reinstated. The delegates were given a steamboat ride on the like this afternoon.

WAGE SCALE IS SIGNED

RIG 3IIACIE STEEL WORKS TO IlESL3IE OPERATIONS TO-DAY. Trouble nt Kokonio Over Closing; Saloons Oil Stations and Tanks Darned Indiana Necrology. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind., Aug. 14. The Palmer Iron and Steel Company, of Chicago, this afternoon signed the Amalgamated Association workers' wage scale and ordered the 4'J0 employes to report for work tomorrow afternoon. This morning General Manager Bradshaw received instructions from the office In Chicago to call in the committee of workers with whom the company has been conferring and sign the scale as first presented and start the mill to working immediately. Mr. Bradshaw says his company does not believe the demands of the workers are Just and that the resumption is not a victory for them, but for the business of the country, for the reason that orders are so pressing that further Idleness was impossible. The workmen are joyful at the action, for in this gTeat Iron manufacturing city this is the first iron mill to sign, and the act is regarded as a straw that will have much weight in forcing the Republic Company to sign for its dozen big mill?, Two of which are in Muncie. The Palmer Company is one of the independents, nearly all of which have previously signed the scale giving the men 12i per cent, increase, and the action of the Findlay (Ohio) Company in signing last Saturday is looked upon as the principal cause for the resumption here. Most of the Palmer workmen were going to Findlay to work. The nut and bolt workers at the Indiana mill, owned by the Republic Company, today announce that they will not' submit to the proposed 15 per cent, reduction in wages, and that if the threatened new scale goes into effect Thursday, as promised, they will throw down their tools and quit. This decision has been reached after several conferences between the men and officers of the company, and meetings of the workmen. Convention Will Meet In Muncie.

A mortgage for $3,300 has been filed on Dale's farm here to secure a note in a local bank. Most of this money is believed to have been spent in the compromise of the damage suit of Birdie M.

Express Meaaenger Lane's Slayer Later Taken to MaryiiTllle, Where He riends Not Guilty. COL.UMDUS, O., Aug. 14.-Rosslyn II. Ferrell, the confessed murderer of expresi messenger Lane, was taken to the Toledo & Ohio Central depot this morning by local police and removed to Marysvllle on the 6:05 train. At 2 o'clock this morning the anguish of Miss Costlow, Terrell's fiancee, bcame unbearable, and after a long struggle with her pride, her love for the erring man overcome all else and she begged to be taken to his side. Her father at last yielded to her agonized entreaties and consented to allow her to go. and accompanied her to the prison. The visit was conducted with the utmost secrecy and was very pathetic. It was at once a meeting and a parting forever. Ferrell was reclining on an iron bed and as the young woman walked N in he attempted to arise but fell back. The matron lifted his head and he winced at the loving words from the Hps of his betrothed. His voice failed, and was only perceptible at times. They spoke in whispers when they finally did begin a conversation. They were later left alone for a time and what passed will never be known. When they were about to say good-bye, probably forever, they kissed and the young woman was led away. Today Miss Costlow is prostrated and under a physician's care. Ferrell collapsed after the interview and for a time was in a comatose state.
