Washington, July ga cablegram

from Consul General Goodnow at
legations were standing on the Sd in
slant, and that the recent attack of
the Boxers had been slight. They
seemed disposed to adopt starvation
methods.
Shanghai, July 8. Three Chinese
servants of foreigners have, 1t is ru-
mored from good source, escaped
from Peking. They report that all the
foreigners, 1000 in number. including
400 soldiers. 100 members Of the Chi

women and children held out till their
ammunition was exhausted, in the
British legation. The legation was
finally burned and all the foreigners
were killed. 1t is reported that Kwan-
Hsu and the dowager empress have
been poisoned.
London, July 5.-The commanders
of the allies in Tien-Tsin inform the
correspondents that it would be suicide
to attempt to reach Picking with the
troops now available in the face of the
colossal force of imperial troops and
Boxers occupying the country be-
tween Tien-Tsin and Picking. SO far

International troops at Tien-Tsin and
the 5000 others at Taku and inter
mediate points can barely keep up
communications, fighting necessarily
with overwhelming numbers using far
more numerous artillery than the al
lies. Advices received by way of Shang-
hal aver that the Chinese losses around
Tien-Tsin are between 1000 and 5000
according to official estimates.
A special dispatch from st. Peters
burg says: "Vice Admiral Alexieff's
official announcement of the impossi
bility of advancing on Picking without
reinforcements and the necessary pom.

as 1t is regarded as tantamOunt to
abandoning the Europeans"
The correspondent of The Express
at Chefoo, telegraphing Wednesday,
says Admiral Seymour was wounded
while sitting in house at Tien-Tsin
by Chinese sharpshoOters. Official
news received at ChefOo shows that
the Chinese have been guilty Of horri.

captured, subjecting them to what is
known as ling che, or the slicing proc
ess. Under this hideOus rite the bodies
Of the fallen have been mutilated. The
Russians are retaliating by the whole

It Was September 6, Nineteen Years
 Ago.
 Some controversy haa been indulged in lately regarding the date of the fa- nous yellow day" that occurred many years ago. The question was referred to the Herald, With the aid of James Shepard the date was determined, and the following extract from the Observer of September 6, 1881. settles the matter: 'The peculiar condition of the atmos- phere this morning attracted much at tention. It was probably the result of cloudy weather, and the smoke in the air, which is said to come from the for est fires in Canada. Grass presented a greenish blue tinge. and as it was quite dark lights had to be used quite exten- sively in the stores. The flame of a gas jet or lamp, presented a pure white color, and much resembled miniature electric light. t."-New Britain Herald.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Opens Ind 1T rrnt1y but Closes Strong. New York, May 31.-The stock mar ket struggled for awhile with uncer- tainty and indifference to-day, but to-
 ward the latter part of the day took on
 more aggressive strength and closed with greater appearance of activity and vital force than it has shown for many days past. The impulse was up-
 wards from the opening on influences
 accumulated over the holiday. The
 one of widest bearing and interest was
 the reported capture of Johannes
 burg and the readiness of the Boers in
 Pretoria to surrender. The buying for
 foreign account here, however, did not exceed 15,000 shares, and the tone of the
 New York market became reactionary on profit taking and on disappointment
 that no greater strength was shown,
 The effect may thus be said to have been very small and momentary, unless some of the later buying was in expect ation of a more active demand for stocks from foreign sources. The later strength was conspicuous in the south western and western grangers, and is doubtless attributable to the prospects or the WllltT NHtdI ClOD, AltHISDll preferred and Burlington were easily the leaders, the former gaining ? and the latter 2A on large transactions. The strength elsewhere in the railroad list proved to be in sympathy with this movement and was not widely dissem-
 mated
 Another notable source of strength was the demand for the steel stocks, which rose at one time from 1 to 3 per cent. all around Rather more hopeful views of the trade outlook were quoted from authorities in the iron trade, and were current of large contracts for export. The weakness of mine stocks in Berlin was attributed to new con- petition from American sourses. In Su- gar the opening spurt was in sympathy with the unofficial quotation establish

 The ladies of the Baptist church will hold a social and supper at the town farm house on June 1. There will be an entertainment.
 Quite a number from out of town were here Memorial day.
 A few men are at work near the old barytes mine hoping to find something that will give old Cheshire a boom of old times. Then we will have the troll ley to connect at Milldale and on to Hartford and Springfield.
 Mrs Simon Brooks of Mixville lost good farm horse. It was tethered out in the lot to feed and in some way it was injured so badly that it had to be killed.
 Mrs. Samuel Moss of Moss Farms died last week after short illness. The funeral took place from her late resi- dence Sunday afternoon. The inter ment was in St. Peters cemetery.
 On Memorial day the G. A. R. post and the cadets from the academy, head ed by the Cheshire cornet band, march ed to the cemeteries, where the old sol diers laid flowers on the graves of their dead comrades. In the afternoon and evening in the town hall the band gave an ice cream, cake and strawberry fes- tival to large audience, the proceeds to go for the new uniforms.

Review of Yesterdays Improved Stock Market,
 l New York, July 31.-Under the buoy ant market reports from London, con sequent upon the continued British suc- cesses in South Africa, our stock mar ket opened to-day with some activity and at advances throughout the list. Although in certain circles the advance is considered a sentimental one, we can- not but believe that an early peace will exert a beneficent influence on all branches of trade throughout the world. Independent of the London news, the net returns of railway earnings for April were more satisfactory even than | looked for Certain branches of man ufacture are reported as doing better; regular dividends were declared on stocks where they had been considered doubtful only few weeks ago; in fact. there was quite a batch of good lntlu' ences at work to stimulate values Or ders from Europe for the purchase of some 15,000 shares of various kinds came to hand early and the amount was increased during the day, particularly
 
 they are too jubilant over English suc- cesses to bestow much attention on bus mess. It is expected that the English market, from the tenor of private ca- hles, will show activity in all branches as soon as peace is assured The Con- tinental Tobacco company declared a regular dividend of 1A per cent on the preferred stock. Prices of refined su- gars again were advanced 10 points.
 The money market remains easy at unchanged rates. Foreign exchange is also easy at 4S41aa% and 4S7 to A. The Bank of England rate is unchanged at 31a per cent.
 Wheat cables from Europe Were gen. erally higher owing to small crop esti- mates in France. Here we opened one half cent higher, but the business was too small to maintain the advance when offerings became free. The close was at Tuesdays last prices. Cotton was demoralized; the tired longs threw over board their holdings and many stop or ders were unlodged. We look for a sharp reaction before long.
 The stock market during the closing houh, while not very active, had good undertone and recession on realfzatons were but slight. Towards the close the market became strong and the last prices were the best of the day in many cases.

cd by restless speculators outside of the exchahge during the holiday. Th6 opeh- ing price at 120 was the best and before the final rally, in sympathy with the other strength in the market, the stock Tuesdays close. in spite of the cre- denee given to the reports of the taking over of Q part of the opposition refin- cries in the interest of the American company and a further advance in the price of refined sugar.
 The failure of the Bank of England to further reduce it's official rate of dis count probably had something to do with the moderate effect of the war news on the foreign markets. The maintenance of the rate at 3la CT cent, notwithsptanding the repayment during the week of over $5,000,000 in loans, must be interpreted to reflect the doubts in the minds of the governors over the permanence of the present ease in mon ey In the case of the Bank of France a further gain of nearly $7000,000 in gold is indicated, but the demand for credits has increased the amount of bills discounted to the extent of over $44,000,- ouu, willie duultloidl HoteS nave pSell issued to the extent of over $30,000,0OO. A doubt is warranted, therefore, wheth- CT the demand for gold from Paris has yet been fully satisfied.
 The bond market was considerably more active and stronger. The total sales par value were $1,735, 900.
