GERMANY GIVES in.
A Shanghai Report that War Lord WIN
Withdraw From PeIkin.

London, September 3, a. m.-The
publication OF the text of the Russian
proposals has intensified rather than
diminished the suspicion entertained by
England of Russians proceedings. The
rupture Of the European concert is con-
sidered as an accomplished fact. Opin-
ions differ, however, as to the way in
which the powers win now group them
selves.
The Daily Telegraph which expresses
regret that President Mckinley ''has
committed the United States to follow
the Russian lead" considers, however,
that Japan VIII throw in her lot with
Russia and will be reluctantly followed
by France.
The Times feels perfectly clear, it says,
that neither honor nor the interests of
England Will permit her to follow Rus
STA s example. 1t trusts that Germany
will refuse to leave Pekin.
Most of the other morning papers ex-
press similar views.

Woodville Rockhill, U. S. special COM
missioner.

They Wish.
Force of Beers Destroy British
Supply Train.

Pretoria, Setember 1.-Mr. Kruger and
MIR. Steyn have gone to BarbertOn. 1t is
believed that they are preparing for
flight. The general opinion is that the
war Is now very near the end, but
should the Beers construct strongholds
in the bush on the veldt, or elsewhere,
and begin a system OF raids the British
would require further large supplies of
horses.
General Butler moved fourteen miles
northwestward along the Lydenburg
road and crossed the Crocodile river to
Badfontein. He found the Beers concen-
trating in the Crocodile mountains.
A force Of Beers under Commandant
Enron broke through the British lines
and captured and burned a supply train
at Kip river station, taking 80 prison
ers, Rrabant's horse proceeded thither,
recaptured all the prisoners and drove
the Beers into the hills Col. PIumer
dispersed a small commando under Com
mandant Pretorius east of Pinaar's river,

LENGE,

Richmond, September 1.-Gov. M. w.
Atkinson of West Virginia, who picked
up the gauntlet thrown down by George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts, in his
Portland speech, said, tonight:
eff the Republican state committee
of Maine sanctions my act 1 will be
pleased to accept George Fred Will
iams' challenge. I have the questions
in my pocket which Mr.. Williams was
asked to answer, and those are the
questions 1 want him to reply to. I
don't know what political etiquette in
the North is in regard to accepting a
challenge, but in my home in the South
and we never let such an opportunity
pass"
A prominent Maine republican said A:
''The Republican state committee will,
without a doubt, give Gov. Atkinson all
the latitude i'll the world. The Cover
nor is no bully, buffer and braggart.
His handsome, manly face shines with
southern honor. He is a gentleman in
every sense of the word No better
man could be picked to make Williams
take back water.''

RETURNING IN sTEERAGE.

Berlin, September 2.-Owing to the
unusually heavy westward passenger
traffic as we'll as to the Interruptions in
sailiugs, owing to the Hoboken disaster,
and to the chartering OF passenger steam
ers by the German government for use in
Chinese waters, many American citizens
have recently been compelled to take
steerage passage in returning to the
United States.
The physicians of the North German
Lloyd steamship company have insisted
upon vaccinating all these to meet the
requirements of the United States laws.
Recently an American fled strong OBJ
jections with Mr.. Henry W. Diedrich,
United States consul at Bremen, who
wrote to Washington for instructions,
meanwhile forbidding the physicians in
question to vacclnate Americans In the
steerage on the ground that the law was
intended to apply to immigrants only.

Taku, August 80, via Shanghai, Sep
TENDER 3.-The Chinese in the Pei Ho
valley are paying dearly for the folly of
their government Along the river and
the roads travelled by the foreign troops
between Tien Tsin and Pekin an orgie
or looting and destruction continues with
much useless slaughter of unotfending
inhabitants.
The conditions prevailing leave little
ground for the favorable comparison Of
civilized warfare with Chinese methods.
Robbery, ravishing and murder are so
common that every responsible person
one meets contributes stories from per-
sonaI observation.
Fires are started daily although the
shelter Will be much needed if the troops
are to hold the country during the win
ter. The soldiers are having ''fine
sport in using natives who creep back
to their houses, or attempt to work in
the tlelds, as targets The Russians are
the chief actors In this style of conquest
but the French are remarkably conspicu-
Gus, considering their small number S.
From the beginning the conduct of the
Russians has been blot on the cam =
paign. When entering Pekin correspon-
dents of the Associated Press saw Cos
sacks smash down Chinese women with
the butts OF their guns and pound their
heads until they wire dead. ThesCossa cks
would pick up children barely old
enough to walk, hold them by the ankles
and beat out their brains on the pave
ment. Russian officers looked on without
a protest. While General Chaffee was
watering his horse at stream under the
wall of Tung Chow, the Russians found
a feeble old man hidden in the mud, ex-
cept his nose. and dragged him out by his
queue Shouting gleefully they impaled
him on their bayonets. General Chaffee
remarked, "That is not war. 1t is brutal
murder
American officers at Taku, days after
the lighting was finished, saw Russians
bayonet children and throw old men into
the river, clubbing them to death when
they tried to swim. The Russians killed
women who knelt before them and
begged for mercy.

VALOIS DEFENDS PECK.

New York, September 2 Among the
passengers on the French line steamer La
Touraine which arrived from Havre to-
day was Arthur V alois, United States
commissioner of the Paris exposition
He defended Commissioner General Peck
from the cabIed charges that he had acted
discourteously to state representatives at
the exposition. In speaking of the story
that Mr.. Peck had secretly worked to
prevent Mrs. Manning and Mrs Potter
Palmer from being decorated by the
French government, he said:
That is impossible for 1 know how
such things are done. The name for the
legion of honor are handed in and passed
on their merits. I know that Mr.. Peck
presented the names of Mrs. Manning,
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Michael De
Young for the order. AS to there being
criticism over being 50 many representa-
tives from the United States, and the
difficulty of supplying all with invita-
tions to entertainments, all that can
say is that here always is trouble when a
big enterprise like the exposition, is
under way. There are certainly many
officials from this country to the exposi-
ton"

An interesting bit of information re-
galding the Empress Dowager came to
Washington today. 1t was to the effect
that the British government had received
