Claim Tea IL Poisoned.

London. Aug. 1s.A Times special from
st. Petersburg says:
1T isrumored at Mini Novgorod that
She Russian customs authorities at
Irkutsk are OBTAINING large quantities of
tea destined for the Mini fair on ac-
count of the suspicion that ii has been
poisoned by the Chinese. The rumor is
having such bad effect upon the
wholesale tea trade that the committee
of the fair telegraphed to Irkutsk an
inquiry on the subject. The chief cause
for the delay and detention is most
probably the mobilization and the
movement OF troops.''

Chicago, Aug. 18.-One hundred thou

London, Aug. ls-News OF the entry
into Pekin OF the allied forces and the
rescue of the -imperiled foreigners
has been the occasion for general re-
joicing here. According to the dispatch
received from the German consul at
Shanghai, the international forces en-
tered the city without fighting on Aug.
10. quickly relieving the legations and
|liberating other foreigners.
Retribution and the reconstruction OF
China are just now matters of second
larry consideration in view of the safety
of the long imprisoned foreigners.
Mr.. Williamkeswick, M. p, when
asked what he thought would be the
proba BILE course of events in Pekin and
the result of the allies occupation of
the capital, said: THE news Is satis-s
factory. but not surprising. Students of
the Chinese character have never been
at all Impressed with the prophecy of
Lii Hung Chang that anarchy and
bloodshed would be provoked by the
ladvance OF the allies. 1t was fore
lgone conclusion that Celestial bravado
would scatter in front.o of the dogged de-
OF the west. The atmos-
lphsre is ma .erially cleared by the unop-
lposed entry of the international forces
/ into the city.
Iii is mistake, however, to draw
lrosy conclusions from the reported

Their precipitate evacuation should not

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The allied
armies have captured and entered Pc

and the members of the foreign lega-5

the fall of the Chinese capital came to
the United States government last

events whichi 1t was believed had hap
pened In Ptkin, at once made them
public.
That from Consul Fowler, giving the
important details OF the occurrences
at the time of the capture of the city,
was given out in the form of an official
statement.
Previous information which HAD been
received here showed the allied armies
took possession of Tung Chow on the
18th inst. From that city to Pekin the
distance was not very great. not more
than dozen miles. 1t seens evident,
therefore, that the armies halted for d
time at Tung Chow, probably for the
purpose Of giving the men a rest to
prepare for the attack upon the capital
city In force after waiting until the rear
of the advancing host should arrive at
the front. Possibly also the delay was
the result OF negotiations inaugurated
by the Chinese officials looking TO the
delivery OF the ministers with the Chi
q nese or other escort. II the negotiations
were attempted they must have failed
as the army continued on its march
and attacked the capital three dayc af
ter reaching Tung Chow.
The officials here were aware of the
fact that the stronghold of the Boxers
was in the Chinese city and that fol
the allies to attempt to force their way
thru 1t into the Tartar city In which the
legation compounds are located might
mean great loss Of life and possibly
defeat
