sage to-day from the commander
of the Buffalo, at Hong Kong, stat
ing that he had sailed for Taku.
The Buffalo is taking out much
needed relief men for the naval
crews. and also has a lot of stores
aboard for the approaching cam
paign.
The War Department received a
cablegram from Lieut.. Colonel
Coolidge, who assumed command
of the Ninth infantry after the
death of Col. Liscum, giving a part
of the part played by that organ
ization during the fighting at Tien
Tsin.
The Report
is as follows:
"CHE FOO,
''Corbin, Washington:
six companies Ninth infantry,
under Liscum, with marines COM
manded by Meade, joined British
forces under Gen. Dorward, in con-
junction with French and Japan
csc, and attacked southwest part Of
walled city at daybreak on the 18th.
The Ninth infantry, on the right,
were east of south gate, protecting
the allied forces from a thanking
fire. After being under fire for fif-
teen hours, they were withdrawn to
the outer mud wall at night. Ninth
infantry had sixteen killed and
sixty-nine wounded, one missing,
out of APO engaged at this point
Company A, posted at the railroad
station east of the Pei-Ho, was ex-
posed to a heavy shrapnel fire,
losing two killed and seven
wounded in addition to the
foregoing. On the morning of the
14th the Japanese blew up the south
gate, entering the walled city. AL
lied forces entered the town. AS
signed the southeast quarter to the
Americans for police and protection.
Guards were established in the
American quarter, which was al
ready on fire. British commander
highly praised American soldiers
for arduous work and gallantry in
communication to Meade, Tien
Tsin, July 26.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-There
is a growing expectation al the
State Department that news of the
utmost Importance may be forth
coming at any moment from Pc
kin. 1t was even thought that
something might be received to-
day, but this hope was doomed to
disappointment.
The few cablegrams that were
received referred to minor matters,
and did not touch at all upon condi-
lions in the Chinese capitol. 1t is
believed that the basis for this ex-
pectation is the knowledge ON the
part of the officials that certain
machinery heretofore set in mo-
ton may result in the opening up
of communication through some
secret but reliable channels. 1t is
known that a second effort has
been made by our own government
to get another message from Mr..
Conger, and that nearly all of the
powers also have
Resorted TO Private Agencies
in their own interest with a like
object. The fact has just been de-
veloped that one of the last acts of
the late Col. Liscum before his
death at Tien Tsin was to under
take the despatch of a spy to Pc
kin. Gen. Coward, the British COM
handing officer at Tien Tsin, also
sent out two messengers, and it is
believed that the Japanese did the
same. Up to date not one of these
messengers has returned to Tien
Tsin, nor has there been a single
word heard from any of them.
This fact, however, has not caus-
ed the abandonment of hope, and
this is true in particular of the
message expected from Mr.. Con-
ger.
Minister WI is, perhaps, the
basis of this hope on our part, and
he maintains an mistaken conf
dence in his original assertion that
the news, when it does come, will
show that the legationers are
alive. The message reported to
have come through Missionary
Wilder, at Che Foo, is
Regarded as Most Promising.
Minister WI had no cablegrams
himself to-day, nor had the State
Department any directly from
China. Nothing further has been
heard as to the date set for the
beginning of the movement from
Tien Tsin toward Pekin, and it is
said here that this is a detail that
must be fixed by the military COM
manders upon the spot. A mes
sage came to the War Department
from the Quartermaster on the Len
OK, announcing the arrival of that
ship, together with the Conemaugh
at Kobe, Japan. They have aboard
the mounts Of the Sixth cavalry,
and although they will start for
Taku at once. not less than five
days will be consumed in this last
stage OF the voyage. 1t is doubt
full whether Gen. Chaffee would
care to leave Taku without horses
for the Sixth cavalry, particularly
as, according to all reports, mount
ed cavalry is needed for successful
operations in the fat country ly-
ing between Tien Tsin and Taku.
This fact
May Delay Operations
until late in the present week,
though at least portion of the
international column may start on
the day fixed, namely tomorrow.
Assurances received here show that
the Japanese government is doing
all In its power to facilitate the in
ternational movement, and though
the COED will of the Japanese was
never SUI 0ected. as far as the Unit
ed States is concerned. the knowl-
edge Is gratifying.

HON. Il. |. HERRN.

We note from the press that
Hon. Thos. I. Herrn will be a
candidate for senator from the
Second district. We havn't the
honor of being acquainted with
his opponents for the position,
but we do know him, and judging
from his acts as a representative
we feel fully warranted in saying
that the district has no one who
will serve his constituency more
capably, or faithfully than Tom
Herrn. In the house he was al
ways at his post, ready and will
ing to do battle for what he con-
ceived to be the best interests of
his people. Aggressive and
capable, his power was felt and
.Re. .gfnerally was successful in
his cause. Deserving it, we trust
that the good democracy of the
district will show their apprecia-
ton of a faithful servant by
electing him to the position now
sought,-Lee County Courier.

Gossiping is more com.
