BERLIN. June 16.-Admiral Seymour
with the ambassado ors and ministers
from Pekin is II miles from Tien Tsin,
hard pressed according to dis spatoh
received by the government from the
German consul at Chez Foo.
The consul also conveys to his gov
ernment the report that Tien Tsin has
been relieved.
BERLIN, June 26.-AnOther report
regarding Amiral Seymour and his
government. The German governor of
Kiau Chou cables under date of June
25th that the Chinese assert that
Seymour has reached Pekin.
This report, together with that
from the German consul at .Chee
Foo. are taken in government circles
as distinctly encouraging, so far as the
safety Of Seymour and the allied
forces under his command are concern
ed. Both may be right.
The German governor OF Kiau Chou
does rot give the date on which Sey-
mour arrived at Pekin. Presumably it
was days ago. He would naturally
gather together the various ambassa-

by this time have reached the point

American capital is going TO Europe,

labor is cheap and the cost of production

Russian empire, chiefly at Moscow and
st. Petersburg. The Westinghouse Elec-

complete establishment at st. Petersburg

Brothers of Chicago and the Standard

in pump factory at Moscow to manufac-
ture American Inventions; the Singer

one of its biggest factories at Moscow, an
investment of between $1,000, 900 and 3d..

made about thirty years ago on behalf
of Mrs. Goose, or Vergoose, the mother
