be well protected by the court, and,
happily they are safe and sound"

NEW YORK. July 2i.--A dispatch 10
the Tribune from London says;
Mr.. congers message to the state de-
partment came Ike voice from tomb
and startled Europe.
One of the best informed men Of the
veteran military service said that he
accepted the text Of Mr. conger's mes
sage as fun and satisfactory proof
that the ministers were alive. When
asked how he could explain the pro-
tracted defence Of the inclosure pro-
tected by pallsade Of moderate height
he asserted that the military guards
had probably seized a commanding po-
siiion on the great wall. where they
had held the mobs at bay. He also was
confident that the ministers and two
men had been transferred by a secret
passage under the wall into the impe-
rial city and had been hidden In the
palace.
Another veteran Of the consular SER
vice In China informed me that. while
he could not account for the American
minister's reputed message. he could
not comprehend how II had been posi-
bic for so weak and indefensible po-
sition as the British embassy enclosure
TO be held for weeks against persistent
assaults OF soldiers armed with artil-
lery. and that he was reluctantly forced
10 believe that the ministers and all
refugees had perished.

TEA CONTINUES TO RISE.
Already Advanced in Price and Still
Going Up.

NEW YORK. July 2l.-The trouble
in China is already influencing the
wholesale tea market of this country.
Within the last few days the price of
tea has advanced from one to two
cents a pound, and still further in
creases seem likely, inasmuch as with
the continuance of the difficulties in
China It win cost more to import.
When the outbreak began it was COM
puted that there were about 2S,OO0,OOO
pounds of tea in this country. That
stock is being rapidly bought up by
retailers. and should the hostilities ex-
tend to the tea-growing districts. a
rapid rise in the price of the commo-
dity will result. The great tea-pro-
ducing centers Of China have not yet
been threatened with the strife in
which the Boxers are engaged.

TROUBLE AT WEST POINT.
Cadets Severely Disciplined for Disre-
spect to an oficer

WEST POINT. N. Y. July 2l.--Trou-
Bile growing out Of the punishment Of
Cadet Bunker for hazing Cadet Norris
has resulted in severe disciplinary
measures being taken by the command
ant.
AS means Of punishment Of dlsre-
spect to Lieutenant Lindsay, the Of
ficer in charge. the cadets were de-
priyed Of their supper last night. af-
ter having taken their accustomed
seats at the table They we're also
required to stand at attention for half
an hour. The entire corps will be con-
fined to the limits Of the camp for an
indefinite period.

certain without a shadow Of doubt the
extent and cause Of china's present dis
integration. Until that Is accomplished
every opinion worth repeating is sus-
pended not only regarding the future
OF China. but also as 10 the nature and
severity OF the retribution TO be ex-
acted.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-07-22

WASHINGTON. July 2i.-Two dis
patches from Chinese officials and one
from Admiral Remey. at Taku. repre-
scented the news development Of the
day, so far az the Chinese situation
was convened. The Chinese dispatches
were corroboratlve. or were intended 10
be. OF the important news Of yesterday
relative TO the state Of the legations.
Admiral Remcys dispatch. aside from
the list Of casualties. already trans
mitted in British cipher, Was most im-
portant. II conveyed tho disagreeable
news that the international column
would not begin its advance upon Pekin
before the middle OF August His no.
tice WAS received here with consterna-
ton. In view OF congers advice OF the
desperate position the legationers were
In on the 18th.
The delay Is lncomprehensible to the
officials here. II IL known that an
army. already formidable In numbers
and Of veteran soldiers. Is at Tien Tsin
and Taku. and. with n courageous
leader Il was expected that this would
push on at once. cutting loose from
It's base. " need be. and forcing It's
way TO Pekln. leaving the reinforce
menta now streaming toward Taku
from every quarter Of the globe to re-
establish n base and TO reopen COM
municailon.
II Is possible TO draw two conclusions
from the failure OF the foreign COM
manders 70 do this. First, the Euro
pean governments have allowed their
seeptioism as 10 the authenticity of
conger's dispatch 10 carry them to the
point OF proceeding coolly and dellber-
ately on the FIRST suppoeiton. namely.
that there are no foreigners alive IN
PelSin TO be saved. and that. conse-
quentiy. there Is no need for haste.
The other conclusion is that friction Is
developing among the internatlonals in
spite OF the earnest endeavors Of the
powers. whose motives as 10 China are
so far unlmpeachable. TO prevent it,
Color is lent to this latter theory by
the fact that the governments have so
far been unable 10 agree upon an in
,ernational commander for the expe-
dition TO Pekin. and this. too. in spite
OF the fact that Admiral Remey, act
INK by the instructions Of his govern
ment. 10 exhausting every effort to in
duce the other commanders at Taku
and Tien Tsin to hasten their move
ments. II has been suggested here
that General Chaffee will. II need be,
leave the other commanders to their
devices and lead the way to Pekln him
self. His brother officers in the war
department, say that he is quite COM
petent to undertake this task. Others
declare that with the small force OF
Americans at his command. the at
tempt would be suicidal even II Chat
Zee were supported by the British.

WASHINGTON. July 2l.-The shang-
hal report that Ii Hung Chang is to
be detained. and prevented from going
TO PelSin. 10 received here with fore
bodlng Of evil. II cannot be conceived
how Ii Hung Chang could material
ly add to the Boxers strength, even II
he were so disposed, by going to PelSin.
on the other hand II cannot be doubt
ed that to interfere forcibly with his
freedom OF movement would precipi-
tate crisis in the southern provinces
OF China. and certainly would prevent
his, from doing anything for the for
eign ministers IL he is acting in good
faith.

LONDON, July 2l.-The request of
Secretary Of State Hay to the powers,
to make an immediate forward move
ment upon Pekin, is not likely to meet
with any success in England. Lord
Salisbury is Just as eager as the Amer
lean secretary OF state to adopt such
step. but he is practically convinced
that It win not be possible until Sep
tember. owing to the local conditions
and the allies lack of equipment.
Beyond courteous reply that Eng
land is willing to cooperate in any
movement that the commanders on the
spot may deem advisable nothing is
likely TO come Of the latest American
effort to reach the Chinese capital. for
all OF the advlces received here indl-
cate that dash toward Pekin in the
Immediate future would be military sui
eide. The governments attitude may
be taken as a philosophic determination

best, yet fearing the worst, until the

WASHINGTON. July 2L--After "a
hours Of dellberailon and after giving
due consideration to the incredulous
criticisms OF European authorities as
10 the conger message. the state de-

conclusion that the message Is authen-

NEW YORK. July PA special to
the Herald from ST. Petersburg says:
The Chinese who attacked BIagovest-
chensk concentrated on the right bank
Of the Amur river They have been
severely routed at the village Of SAX
hahn, which was burned by the shells
from the Russian guns. The Chinese
town OF Algun has been partly de-
seroyed.
The Russians have occupied all the
important defensive positions on the
right bank Of the river. driving the
Chinese out OF them. It appears that
the Chinese were quite taken by sur
prise. They considered themselves
masters Of BIagovestchensk and never
expected an attack from the Russians
in both rear and front. but the Russian
troops carried out the operations with
great brllliancy killing two thousand
Chinese and capturing II guns. At the
same time their own losses were in
considerable.
1t was on the morning Of July ls
that General Gribsk. having received
relnforcements. opened a fierce cannon
and rifle fire. Toward the evening the
Russian shells set fire to the Chinese
village of Sakhalin. After a prolonged
conflict the enemy's artillery began to
slacken. and they commenced to re-
tire. The duel Of the guns went on
more or less until o'clock in the even
ing.
More Chinese troops having now ar
rived, General Gribski saw the necessi-
ty OF occupying Aigun and he concen-
trated a portion Of his force for that
purpose. There were about 1000 Chinese
there with some artillery. The Russian
troops advanced from the direction OF
the town OF Nismennaja and comm
enced the attack. The Chinese offered
a stout resistance and massed forces
of large bodies at various points. but
today news has been received that the
Russians have occupied Aigun. where
