DrOuth in Kansas,

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-Two-thirds OF
Kansas, west of the three easternmost
tiers OF counties, is experiencing one of
the most severe droughts in the history
OF the state, and the general opinion is
that the Kansas corn crop will be the
smallest in proportion to its require
ments for feeding, that has been raised
in many years. In 1899 there was 225,-
100000 bushels. Secretary Coburn's
report of conditions in August indicated
yield this year of about ,145, 900, 900
bushels. Since then there have been two
weeks of hot, dry weather, which has
further materially reduced condition,
and the most liberal estimates OF we'll
informed men on change do not exceed
10O,OOO,O 900 bushels, while many place
the crop at not over rs 900, 900 bushels.
The plo"ing for winter wheat is delayed
by the dry condition of the soil. Pas
lures are dry and stock water in many
cisterns is scarce.

CITY Oh PEkIN TAKEN
Allies Entered Pekin and Res
cued the LegatiOners.
Met With Stubborn Resistance At
the Huge City Wall, But
Chinese Fled.

Washington, Aug. IT. = The allied
forces have captured and entered Pekin,
in the face of obstinate resistance. and
the members OF the foreign legations are
safe, though Minister Conger reports
that the night before the rescue the Chi.
nese made desperate assault upon the
devoted little band in an effort to ami
hilate them.
Official information Of the fall of the
Chinese capital came to the United
States state department today in the
shape OF two cablegrams-one from Ad-
miral Remey and the other from Consul
Fowler at Chefoo.
The entry was made through the east
gates. Eight Americans we're wounded,
and Captain Reilly of the Fifth artillery
is reported killed. The japanese lost
100 killed, and the Chinese 400 killed.

HOW CHINESE CAPITAL WAS TAKEN
Attacks on Legation Hurried Them
Over the Wall.

Pekin, Aug. IA, via Chefoo, Aug. 21.-
The American and Russian flags were
planted on the east wall of Pekin at | |
O'Clock this morning. The American
troops entered the British legations at
l p. M. There was joyful reception
from the walls. The emaciated tenants
could have lasted but little longer. They
had only three days rations. The
Chinese had been attacking furously for
two days. -Four thousand shells fell in
the legation during the siege.
Sixty-five men were killed and 16O
wounded.
The Japanese began the battle before
daylight and they are still fighting
about the north wall, where a part of
the Chinese are defending the imperial
city. The Japanese casualties have not
yet been ascertained. The Russians had
five killed and twelve wounded. The
Americans and British had a few
wounded.
Exhausted Troops Hurried In.
The plan was to make a general at
tack tomorrow and the troops were
arriving in camp, five miles east last
night. They were completely exhausted
and slept in the corn fields in the rain,
The generals, however, alarmed at the
sounds of a heavy attack on the lega-
tiOns, pushed forward independently, the
British, Americans and French on the
LETT OF the river and the Russians and
Japanese on the right.
Beginning at 2 O'Clock this morning
the japanese diverted the brunt of the
resistance to the northern city, their
artillery aUraorinur bo Tb;Dooo
there. The Americans aud British met
with but little resistance until they enter
ed the city, where there was street fight
ing, Reilly's battery attempting to
reach the inner wall. The troops finally
entered the foreign settlement through
the canal.

BOmbarding the Forbidden City.
Washington, Aug. 19.-From General
Chaffee today the war department re-
ceived official confirmation Of the fall of
Pekin and the rescue of the besieged
legationers.
The dispatch from the American COM
mander was not long and contained but
few details, but the uncOncealed satisfac-
ton with which it was received by
officials OF the administration indicated
clearly the anxiety that had been en-
gendered by his prolonged silence. His
last communication to the government
prior TO the receipt OF today's advices
was dated August II at Matow, almost
80 miles from Pekin. The explanation
of his silence is suggested in a dispatch
received by the navy department TODAY
from Remey, who telegraphed from
Taku, on the 18th, saying that the tele-
graph line between that point and Pekin
is interrupted.
The cablegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information
not mentioned by General Chaffee. He
makes the startling statement, on
japanese authority, that the inner city
OF Pekin was being bombarded by the
allied forces.

Pullman Tribune: Last week the
valuable cow of Mrs. W. F. Williams
showed symptoms OF being ill and a
veterinary surgeon was called to attend
her case. A swelling on her side back OF
the shoulder gave evidence OF an abscess
forming, but a more critical examina-
tion disclosed what was thought. to be
broken rib. AS the case developed, how
ever, it proved to be a broken rib, but
not the cow's-it was the broken rib Of
an umbrella, 13 inches long with a

The close similarity between the

tary.
London, Oct. 31.The following im-A
portant announcement appears this
morning in the Daily TELEGRAPH:
We understand that. after mature
consideration, Lord Salisbury f1as decid-
ed to resign the foreign sscretaryship.
which will be transferred to the Mar
quis Of Lansdowne. Altho the health of
the prime minister gives no cause for
anxiety, we believe that he IL largely
Influenced by the counsels OF his medi-
cal advisers.
Referring editorially to the appoints
ment Of the Marquis of Lansdowne to
the foreign Office, the Daily Telegraph
approves 1t. especially in view Of the
fact that Lord Salisburys influence will
still preside over the foreign policy of
Great Britain
Lord Salisbury came to London yes
terday and paid a long visit to the for-
| eign office. where he received Lord
Handsome, and after him the Duke OF
lDevonshire. He remained until a late
hour at the foreign Office, and then Went
direct to Hatfield House.
There is little doubt that the Daily
Telegraph g Information is correct. The
appointment of Lord Lansdowne, whosi
control of the war Office has ben so ss,
|verely condemned. will probably cause
some dissa tisfaction.
The Times, confirms the statement o
the Daily telegraph that Lord Salisbur!
will give up the foreign cfiica portfolio
4 but 1t does not name his successor.
