Believes the Fight Was Caused
by Refusal to Pay for Ter
ritory Taken.

PEK1N, Feb. 20.-A serious conflict
has taken place between the Russians
and Chinese at Tai Lien Wan, 800 of
the latter being killed. It is said to
have originated in q question Of taxes.
DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 20.-Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, en- route from
Chicago to the east, was seen in Detroit
while on passage in relation to tho bat
tie in China at Tai Lien Wan between
Russians and Chinese. Lord Beresford
informed the Associated Press repre-
sentative that such battle was what
he had been expecting for; some time
and that the battle would shake the
Chinese government moro than any
thing that has occurred, and trade
would also suffer. Tai Lien is about
100 miles from Port Arthur, the Rus
sian coaling station and headquarters in
China. In and about the two places
was q Russian army of from 14,OOO to
%, 1000 men. The Chinese army in Man.
churia, in which province both places
are situated, consists of about 10000
men, Of whom, however, but 5000 are
sufficiently drilled to be Of any use in
actual warfare.

CHAIRMAN BURTON'S IDEA.

Believes tho Canal Elder Will Kill the
River and Harbor Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Chairman
Burton of the river and harbor commit
tee stated. that he feared the river and
harbor bill would fail to become law,
as result % the action of the senate
committee in adding the Nicaragua
canal amendment.
II am not opposed to the Nicaraguan
canal" said Mr.. Burton. "but it is a
vast project, to be approached with due
deliberation and not carried along as a
rider, with perhaps only few minutes
consideration. Every item of the orig
inal bill was carefully scrutinized by the
committee, but it will be impossible if
this amendment comes back to give it
like scrutiny in the few remaining days
Of congress or to reconcile it with the
original character of the bill. Viewed
from q practical standpoint, the amend
ment creates combination of opposing
elements. the opposition to any river
and harbor bill, the opposition to any
Nicaraguan canal, the opposition to any
such dealing with the Nicaraguan canal
bill, the opposition Of such men as Mr..
Cannon to increased appropriations, and
the opposition of the senate to any in
creased items in the river and :harbor
bill. Altogether ! am seriously ,appre-
hensive that these combined elements
of opposition will defeat the river an

MANILA, Feb. 20.-The enemy has

without effect. General Kings. head

slnokeless powder and it is extremely
difficult to locate individual marksmen.

From letter to Mr.. j. NJ. II,
Beale, from his son, Lieut.. Chas
Il. Beale, of the AID Reg. U. S
Vols, who left Fort Niagara, N
Y, several days ago for San Fran
cisco, California, on special train
made up of sleeping cars, and run
ming in seven sections, we learn
that section four was wrecked last
Saturday morning, Nov. 4th, neaI
Castle Rock, Wyoming. Seven
cars left the track, and one soldier
slightly hurt, but he was not from
Mason county. The wreck delay
ed the other trains, and caused
them to turn back and go around
the wreck over the Oregon short
line, through Utah, and would ar-
rive at San francisco about Thurs
day. Lieut.. Beale says the trip did
not seem to grow tiresome to any
OF the soldiers, and that all seemed
to enjoy the long trip very much.
The health of the boys was good.
The Lieutenant says that one
thing in particular that interested
him in his travels, was the count
less thousands of fine cattle and
sheep, grazing on the prairies and
mountain sides.
