the town and its little garrison of
$50 British troops. The Beers who at

have numbered over 1900 men. The
British were summoned to surrender

The sinking of the torpedo boat
destroyer France by the big battle
ship Brennus, recalls the terrible mis-
take which ended in the destruction
of one of England's finest battleships.
During the meneuvers of the English
squadron in 1893 a misunderstanding
ended in the collision of the battle
ships Camperdown and Victoria, the
latter going to the bottom. The loss
of life in that terrible calamity was
356 officers and men. Practice work in
naval warfare seems to be almost as
expensive as the real thing.

"Dear Sir" at the beginning of busi-

dropped. The reformers believe that

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Flour Statistic5.

From the standpoint of statistics,
the flour mill year, which closed at
midnight, August 81, was the biggest
in the worlds history for any one
community. More than 14,5oo,ooo bar
rels of flour were manufactured in
Minneapolis during the year, which is
an increase over the worlds record,
held by the Minneapolis mills last
year, when they produced 14,291,28o
barrels. The general increase is taken
by some millers to mean that because
of prosperous times people have been
eating more meat and less grain, as in
spite of the increased output, prices
and other conditions have not been
satisfactory, and the millers claim
that none of them has made any
money to speak of during the year
just closed.
During this year the mills required
from 62,ooo,ooo to 65,ooo,ooo bushels of
wheat, and even if the three great
states of the northwest should raise
120,000,000 bushels this year, at least
half of it would be needed by Mime
apolis mills, as all are making plans to
increase the output. Of the total,
also, fully 100000 bushels will be
required for seed.

cure Withdrawal Of Allied
-. Forces from China.

London, Sept. 5. According to
Shanghai advices, Ii Hung Chang
wired the Chinese minister in London,
Sir Chih sShen Lofengluh, as follows:
"Our St. Petersburg minister has per-
suaded Russia to leave Peking. You
are useless if you cannot persuade
England" It is asserted that Earl
Ii has promised Russia three Man
churian provinces if she secures :ne
withdrawal of the allied forces from
Peking and favorable peace terms
from the powers. Both the empress
dowager and Ii Hung Chang are said
to be lavishing money to attain these
objects.
The war department received Tues
day a dispatch from Gen. Chaffee.
Although it is undated it bears evil
dence of having been sent at q re-
cent date.
Following is the dispatch:
'Taku (no date).-Adjutant General,

I'VE hear LII Hung Chang has full power,
but he is not here. Will United States keep
military force here until terms Of peace are
arranged? Now in China, about 5000 effec-
tives, Sixth cavalry, light battery F, Fifth
artillery. batteries Third, Ninth infantry,
Fourteenth infantry, LOCO marines. think
ample force for United States unless polit-
ical reason, not apparent to me, demands
larger force. Shall take 5000 as basis of my
requirement for supplies. If troops remain
must winter in tents and conical wall tents
be required, one tent ten men. Escort wag-
ons mentioned in-of 18th will be required
Immediately. Have mules for same
shipped. No more pack trains required,
in river rapidly, must soon haul supplies
40 miles. Satisfied railroad will not be re-
paired before river freezes.
"CHAFFEE."
All the transportation and tentage
asked for by Gen. Chaffee has been
anticipated by the department and
has been shipped. Much of it is at
Taku and the balance is due there
very soon.
1t is authoritatively stated that
Minister Conger will remain at his
post until further orders. Up to this
time he has expressed no wish to be
relieved, and the state department
holds that since he has passed
through the perilous ordeal of siege,
he is not likely to desire a relief un-
der the present more favorable con-
ditions.
