FIGHTING AT PIETANG

ALLIES VIGOROUSLY BOMBARD THE BOXER FORTS. Chaffee Want* Winter Tents for His Farces—lndications Are that 10,000 Foreign Troops Will Remain in Pekin —Vice roye Plead for Peace. A Taku dispatch reports that the allies attacked the Pei-tang forts at daybreak Thursday. The cannonading was very -heavy. — Gen. Chaffee expresses a preference in favor of tents for the winter camp rather than unsanitary buildings. The indica—tious are that IQJKXIof the allies will winter at Pekin. The German force will be the largest. Some of the troops will probably be distributed in the surrounding cities to relieve the strain. The Japanese will withdraw the most of their force to Nagasaki. The Russians will retain at least 2,000 men in Pekin. The Dowager Empress has expressed her willingnew to return to Pekin if guaranteed protection. The generals in command and the ministers of the powers are • unwilling to assume such a responsibility. The Chinese minister at Washington has received a dispatch from the viceroys of the southern provinces of China making an appeal for the opening of peace negotiations without further delay. They

represent that a prolongation of the present unsettled condition is a serious disadvantage to China and all parties concerned. Russia Proposed Punishment. It -- ow appears that Russia first put for.. tfrd the proposition for the punishment of the leaders of the Chinese uprising. This was in a paper offering a general program for conducting the peace negotiations. The first item of the program was the punishment of the Chinese offenders. The proposal came some time prior to the TJcrman note and seems to have been concurred in by France and some of the other powers, although it did not receive such general concurrence as to amount to an agreement. The German note now takes up this first item of the Russian program and makes it an indispensible prerequisite to any negotiations. It materially differs from the Russian proposal, in that the latter made punishment a part of the negotiations, while the German proposition now pending is to make the punishment precede the negotiations.

BOER FORCES IN PANIC.

Lord Roberts AnnonncesComplete Collapse of the Transvaal War. Lord Roberts cables from Nelspruit, on the Pretoria-Delagoa Bay Railroad, not far from Ivomatipoort, the frontier station, as follows: “Of the 3,000 Boers who retreated from Ivomatipoort before the British advance front Machadodorp 700 have entered Portuguese territory, others have deserted in various directions, and the remainder are reported to have crossed the Ivomati river and to be oeupying spurs of the.Lobombo mountains, south of tbs railway. A general tumult seems to have occurred when they recognized the hopelessness of their cause. Their long toms and field guns have been destroyed and nothing is left of the Boer army but a few marauding bands. Kelly-Kency is dealing w'ith one of these, which occupies a position at Doornberg.”

CHURCH AND CLERGY.

KILLED BY A TORNADO.

Merrlatotrn, Minn., Scene of Dentil and Ruin. A tornado struck Morristown, Minn., at 6 o’clock Monday night, which resulted in the death of seven persons and the serious injury of at least four others. v Morristown is a place of 1,000 people about ten miles west of Faribault on the Chicago Great Western Railway. The cyclone lifted a new brick building from its foundation and then dropped it again, killing all the occupauts but one. Many other buildings were wrecked. It had been raining hard all day and no one thought of a cyclone, but suddenly a heavy cloud as green as grass appeared and in three minutes the storm was upon the town. The gust seemed to drop from the heavens, striking two small barns, carrying them two blocks iji IS the street, there tearing them into •tVtdling. Then it dropped again, taking a new brick building, 80x36, used as a saloon, run by Paul Golzke. In this saloon were the eleven killed and wounded and three unknown strangers, who tscaped before the building was wrecked. I't took but an instant to crush the entire building, burying all its occupants beneath the debris. Groans of the wounded and dying were heard for three hours until one by one ceased their cries of agony iu death. A crew of forty men to work to save the people. The last man was dug out, Mr. Goldzke, the proprietor of the building, at 8;l5 p. m. Most of the dead are mangled beyond recognition. After venting its rage in the village the storm struck a barn three miles east of town, belonging to John Hanson, tearing the structure to pieces over the heads of six horses. The animals escaped without a scratch, but Hanson’s son was killed.

DIVIDED BY A FENCE.

Domestic Trouble of n New Jersey Couple Married Thirty Years. Denrtis Harrington and bis wife of Somerville, N. J., have broken all family fend records. After living together happily, as far as the-world can judge, for more thau thirty years, rearing a family of six children and providing a comfortable home . for themselves, they have parted. They have divided their house,

each taking half. Have built a fence the length of the back yard, so that neither might encroach on the other. Still finding themselves unable to get along at such close range peaceably, the old man rented his half of the house to a Hungarian family, and boards in a nearby street, where lie ean look across at the home of his old age, in which he can no longer live. Recently the strife over this dividing fence became so hot that the wife had the husband arrested, says the Philadelphia North American.

RUSSIA GRABS MANCHURIA.

Partition of China Mujr Be Precipitate! by Action of the Czar. Word comes from St. Petersburg that Russia has formally taken over all those regions of Manchuria occupied by Muscovite soldiers. A proclamation has been issued in which it is announced that the annexation is a punishment for the attack on Blngovestchensk. Hope is expressed that it will serve as a warning to the inhabitants to respect the power of Russia. Grave doubts are expressed in diplomatic circles ns to whether the action of Russia will not be regarded as a grab by the powers and lead to serious results. Indeed, many British statesmen fear that it will precipitate a general seizure by other nations and that the pnrtitiou of China actually impends. The reasons given by the Czar for ills action are considered flimsy. Ample, if not excessive, reprisals were made by the Cossacks for the attacks of the Chinese along the Amur River, and besides the hostilities were not of a nature to warrant the annexing of a vast expanse of territory. It has been known all along tlint Russia has kept covetous eyes on Manchuria. She now secures practically all that would accrue to her by a partition.

BURNED THEIR EYES OUT.

Details of Horrible Tortures by Chinese in Hunan Province. An official communication coming through diplomatic channels has been brought to the attention of the State Department giving information as to the conditions in the Y'nngtsekiang valley, and also giving detailed and fully authenticated instances of atrocities in the province of Hunan against Christian missionaries. The account is given by on* of the Christinn missionaries who ear raped and who makes the report through the officials of the government now forwarding it to Washington. In one ease, it is stated, a missionary had his eyes burned out, then a portion of his body was cut off, and finally, a red-hot staff was driven through bis back. Iu nnothcr ease u missionary was wrapped in cotton, the cotton was soaked in oil and the mass set on fire.

The trouble with the Indians on the Gila reservation has been adjusted by the capture of the ringleader. Blair Wbeatton, his mofh'dr and a'child were probably* fatally burned by the explosion -of a gasoline stove, Bedford, Mass. ,

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

New York—From a trade and financial standpoint the principal development of the week was the beginning of a strike in the anthracite coal region. This, together with the election uncertainty and a somewhat harder tone to the money market, has had a decidedly unsettling effect on security values,! inducing liquidation in Wall street which has brought about the sharpest decline in the market seen since last June. Pools have seen fit to lighten their loads, and a large number of small holders who cling tenaciously to their stocks throughout the longperiod of summer dullness have taken fright and thrown their holdings overboard or have been shaken out of the market by reason of exhausted margins. The coal strike is admittedly a serious affair, but outside of the stock exchanges its effect has not been apparent. In both mercantile and manufacturing circles there is a feeling that the existing labor troubles will be settled before long. Money will naturally work higher during the next Tew weeks, but there is no reason to apprehend anything like a tight market, such as was seen for a short time last fall. Chicago—Considerable activity characterized the dealings of the week in the wheat market, and the tendency of prices for the most part was upward. A rise of about 2 cents a bushel was the net result. Other grain markets, -together with provisions, were on the up-grade, and all were firm at Saturday’s close, at some improvement over the previous week's prices. Much of such shipments is reported to be for export. Strength of the wheat market was due largely to the reports'received from the spring wheat territory of thegreat injury by The heavy and continuous rains to the crop since it was cut. This, it was said, had so thoroughly saturated the badly made stacks that much of the grain in that position was rendered unfit for conversion into flour. Such reports may have been exaggerated, as they usually are, but it was observed that the markets of Minneapolis and Duluth, the traders in which are close to the scene of reported injury, were stronger than at Chicago. Meantime abundant supplies from the winter wheat territory are coming forward, and the volume is such ns to suggest a crop large enough in the region whence the present deliveries are being made to make up for all deficiencies elsewhere. The scarcity, therefore, upon which is based the higher prices of the last two or three weeks is purely conjectural and in the end may prove to be one of the many false alarms that are Inherent in a business governed by so much doubtful information.

ALL PORTS WANT THE SHIP.

Handsome Revenue Cutter Proposed * for Luke Service. The best equipped boat in the revenue service of the United States will be the proposed cutter Mpekinaw, plans for which Have been drawn in the office of the revenue marine service at Washington. It will surpass nil other revenue cutters in speed and general equipment and will cost between $150,000 and $175,000. The selection of a name for the ship was the subject of much trouble to the treasury officials. Four States wanted

REVENUE CUTTER MACKINAW.

to namq the ship. Michigan wanted the honor, Wisconsin had a name for the ship, Illinois thought it was due to that State and even Indiana Wanted to be heard. The treasury officials finally settled upon Mackinaw, naming the ship after the island, which is neutral ground. Now the same war is on over the disposition of the boat. Each of the States mentioned above wants the ship assigned to a port within its borders. It is likely, however, that the Mackinaw will take the place of the Fessenden, which will be assigned to the lower lakes.

ODDS & ENDS

The Chicago White Stockings have won the championship of the American League. Lanky Bob Fitzsimmons lias renounced his intention to become a resident of Chicago and instead will take up newspaper work in New Y’ork, There has never been a period in tlie history of the turf iu America when n mere general and popular disgust of everything pertaining to racing has prevailed among turfmen of the better class and the public than exists at the present time. While Pittsburg quits the season with a good record on the right side of the ledger, Boston and Philadelphia more thau break even, hut the other five clubs lose from SIO,OOO to $20,000 on the season. Cincinnati, on account of losing a majority of the games at home in the “heat” of the season, is one of the heaviest losers of the season. The American League has concluded Ita sensou. It was most successful, all the clubs, suve Minneapolis, being to tho good. Charley Coniiskey has probably made the nffist money, his winnings being variously estimated at from $20,000 to $30,000.

CROPS HURT BY RAIN.

Damage la Reported from Many Parte of the Country. Reports to the weather crop service division of the weather bureau show that heavy rains have interrupted farm work and caused injury to crops in central and northern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and upper Michigan. The principal damage in the Dakotas and Minnesota was done to grain iu shock. In Texas and Oklahoma cotton suffered most. Drought continues in the upper Ohio valley, portions of Missouri, and the middle’Atlantic States, and rains, would prove beneficial in Florida and portions of Alabama. Upon the whole the weather conditions were favorable for farm work and maturing of late crops in the States of the lower Mississippi river. Frosts were quite general in the central and northern Rocky Mountain districts and over the northern portion of the country from the •Upper, Missouri valley to the middle Atlantic States, light frosts being reported as far south as the mountain regions of Tennessee, but only slight damage iu some localities is reported. The week lias been favorable for gathering corn in the principal corn States, the bulk of the crop being secured in many sections. In the central and eastern districts of the cotton* belt c-ottmi picking has progressed rapidly, generally under- very fa vocable weather conditions, and is nearing completion in some sections. In central and northern Texas the heavy ruins of the latter part of the week caused much damage by beating out open cotton. but in the southern portion picking progressed rapidly under favorable conditions. The weather of the last week has been highly favorable for curing tobacco, the bulk of which crop has been housed. Continued unfavorable reports respecting apples are received, due largely to the high winds of the previous week, which have very materially reduced the prospects for this crop. Although the condition of the- soii lias been generally favorable for plowing for fall seeding, this work lias been delayed in portions of lo,wa and Missouri by dry weather and by excessive rains in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Reports from the States of the Ohio valley indicate that the acreage of winter wheat will be smaller than usual. In some sections seeding has been purposely delayed to avoid the Hessian flv.

EARLY FALL BLOUSES.

Already a few hints of the fall styles are beginning to show themselves at the cool resorts where a flannel blouse is necessary, This one is of cardinal flannel

JAMES HOWARD FOUND GUILTY

Convicted of Murdering Goebel anil Penalty Fixed at Death. At Frankfort, K.v., Janies Howard was found guilty of the murder of Goebel and his punishment fixed at death. The court room was crowded with spectators as Foreman Crutcher passed the written verdict up to the clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the verdict, which found the defendant guilty and fixed his punishment at death. Howard occupied a seat by his attorney, lie did not display the least agitation and was apparently no more concerned than any other person in the court room. The verdict was a surprise, ns the general belief was that the jury was divided on the question of guilt or innocence of the defendant; but it turns out that .the difficulty in reaching n verdict was over the degree of punishment, some of Cojurors favoring life imprisonment, while others stood out for the death penalty and finally won their associates over. The jury which tried the case was divided politically, ulne Democrats, one Republican and two anti-Goebel Democrats.

THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN.

Drops Into Recollection a Little Bit Over a Visit to the Old Home. • “Well,” said the middle-aged man. “I’ve been down home again on my usual summer visit and had the greatest time this year ever. In fact, as time goes by the old spot seems dearer and dearer, and recollections tenderer; and little things to which once I never gave a second thought, appeal to me more and more. “On the day I got there, this time, we had cup custards for dinner. Beautiful they were, too; I have never tasted any cup custards such as mother make**; and these were the beet of her make; rich and delightful, as always. "But there was something wrong about mine, somehow; what, 1 couldn't at first make out; the custard was simply delicious, but there was something wroug somewhere; and presently I discovered what it was and I says to mother: “ ‘Mother.’ “ ‘What Is it, Melaucthou?* she says, and I says: “ ‘lt’s the most beautiful custard I ever tasted, but you’ve given it to me In a cup with a handle an it.’ “ ‘Well, don’t you want it in a cup with a handle on It, Melancthon?’ she says. “ 'Why, don't you remain tier,’ I says, ‘that when we used to have cup custards I always used to get the cup with the broken handle?' “ ‘So you did, Melancthon, so you did!’ she said, and that was alii said; but I am sure you can guess what she did. “The next day we had cup custards again; and when they came around, 10, the cup that mine was in was a cup without a handle. The fractured surface of a sharp and jagged remnant of it that remained, projecting from the side of the cup, was fresh and bright; it had not, on this cup, been browned over, as the broken handle on the other had been, with the heat of maiiy bakings; but still it was the old cup come back again. And when I had finished the custard iu it and had grasped the cup around with one hand and held it up, and turned it up so tlint I could look into it, and had scraped the inside of it until I had got the very last speck and then had licked the spoon, I felt my youth come back again in childhood’s happy home.”—New, York Sun.

KILLED HIS SISTER IN FUN.

Minister Ransom Was Absent-Minded and Had to Be Aroused.' Former Minister to Mexico Ransom is very absent-minded. After the Minister left the cloakroom of the House one of the members said: “Did you ever talk to the Minister when bis mind has been occupied’ with business?” and, without waring for a r«ply, the member continued: “I did. I met him soon after his return from Mexico, and after we shook hands he said; “ ‘How is your sister, Frt^k?’ “ ‘She is well,’ I said. “The Minister’s mind then returned to some business for five minutes and tlimi he said: " ‘Hot is your sister, Frank?’ and, as before, I replied that site was well. Five minutes later he raised his eyes front some papers and remarked: “ ! <>h. Frank, how is your sister?’ I thought the conversation was becoming rather nionotomavs. and to change it 1 answered that she was very ill. “ ‘Bless me! you don’t say so! I am sorry to hear it. Frank.’ “lie turned to his papers again for another five minutes, and hang me if he didn’t turn around and say: “ ‘Frank, how is your sister?’ At first I thought he was guying me, but, looking nt him sharply, I realized that he had forgotten the conversation, and I answered sadly, ‘She is dead.’ “ ’Why man, you don’t mean it!’ he exclaimed, jumping from his seat, and extending his hand in a most sympathetic manner, adding: ‘That is dreadful. When did it happen? Tell me all about it.’ “‘Why,’ I'replied, ‘I killed her just now. When I came in your office I told you she was well twice; then I told you she was very ill and that didn’t impress you. So, for your benefit, I have just killed her.’ “The old man looked at me for a moment and then replied; “ ‘You must pardon me, Frank. I was thinking about these papers.”
