EUROPEANS WITH CHINESE.
Russians and French Fighting With
the CeIestialS.

the CeIestialS.
LONDON, July 21.-The Daily Express
has received the following from Tien Tsin,
dated July Is:
1.-THE casualties of the allies in the three
days fighting before the native city of Tien
Tsin exceeded 1000.
ut is now certain that there were several
Russians and Frenchmen fighting on the
Chinese side.
1.-The Chinese killed their own women
wholesale to prevent them falling into the
hands of the Russians
Yesterday TUESDAY, the whole native
city was in flames. and the stencil of the
burning thousands of corpses was unspeak-
ably horrible
Among the incidents of the fighting on
July Is was the precipitate flight of 500
French troops from AMMAN. They had been
ordered to hold an important front. but on
being charged by the Chinese with bayonets
the entire detachment bolted panic-stricken.
The Russians killed all the Chinese
wounded. in revenge for the Pekin mas
sacre.'
A message from Canton reports that all
the Tartar troops have moved into the
Bogue and other outer forts at the entrance
to the Canton river. and that some of the
Black Flags had moved into the Tartar gen.
erals compound. Three thousand other
Black Flags. with their chiefs, are in an
intrenched camp, with artillery, while ten
thousand others have moved elsewhere
Canton itself is quiet.

An Idea of China's Millions.

From The Literary Digest.
A comparison between the population of
the Chinese provinces and the population
of equal areas in the United States, which
has been going the rounds of the press re-
Gently. gives a vivid idea of how dense the
population is in that country where the soil
yields four crops every year. In the closest
comparison, that between Kweichow and
the states of Virginia and West Virginia, It
will be seen that the disparity Is more than
; to /. while in the case of Kwantung and
Kansas the ratio rises as high as p to l.
One thinks of New England. New York,
Ohio Illinois. and other states as thickly
settled until a comparison with China
makes them appear rural. Here are the
figures:

FOUND CONTEMPLATING OUTFIT.
Chief Hazen Makes an Important Cap

ture in Rutherford, N. ..
Chief Hazen Of the secret service, with a
number Of Hoboken policemen. went to
Rutherford. N j.. yesterday and made an
important seizure of counterfeits- and coun-
terfeitng apparatus The seizures followed
the arrest of Richard P. Censor In Hobo
ken Thursday night. He had been frequent
ing resort in that city and getting the
barmaids to obtain change for ten-doilar
and two-dollar bills for him.
When searched at the station house nine
teen two-dollar counterfeits. three tens and
one twenty were found on him. All were
bogus. and all so well executed that only
experts could tell that they were not gen.
uine. Censor refused to tell where he lived.
Bank books on bank in Passaic. which is
close to Rutherford, were found in his pos
session. as well as tax receipts and record
Of a mortgage on property in rutherford
Chief Hazen with assistants, went to
Rutherford. They located the house to
which the tax receipts and the mortgage
record referred. 1t was at once surrounded.
In the house was young girl ana man.
They objected to the entrance Of the Off
GERS but did not resist when the officers
showed their authority.
The house was searched from top to bot
tom. 1t was handsomely furnished. and the
prisoner had evidently been living in lux
ury. Chief Hazen found two large presses
of fine make There were four Autograph
ing stones in the place They bore the i'm
press and lines for the printing Of twenty
dollar gold certificates, ten-dollar gold GER
tificates and two-donar silver certificates.
There was a liberal supply of inks of the
colors needed for the bills, and also very
fine imitation of the government paper used
in genuine bills.
The officers found counterfeits aggre-
eating $1,000 in tens. twenties and twos. All
are very we'll executed. Seventy-nine dol
lars in good money was also found. The
man in the place said his name was Paul
Jansen, thirty-nine years of age, and re-
fused to talk. The girl is Clara Censor
daughter of the man arrested in Hoboken.
She gave her age as fifteen. but looks older.
The room in which the outfit was located
was most carefully laid out, and when the
presses We're at work there was no chance
that any noise could be heard outside.

The Shanghai. correspondent of the Daily
Mail asserts that Emperor kwang Su tele-
graphed to the mikado an expression of re-
greet for the murder Of the japanese chan
cellor of legation. Sugiyama Akira and
pointed out that. the community of inter-
ests between China and Japan in the east
against the ambitions of the western pow
ers should lead the japanese emperor to
make common cause with China and to as
sist in the restoration of peace. The mi
kado, according to this correspondent. re-
piled that the action or the insurgents was
in complete violation of international law.
and that the murder Of Baron Won ketteler
was grievous offense The mikado added
that the Chinese government should sup,
press the disorders and rescue the minis
ters thus disarming the hostility of Europe.
His ma jestys dispatch concluded thus:
Japan is cordially friendly. and is only
sending troops to rescue the foreigners in
Pekin and to restore order. She has no
Interior objects hostile to China, and. II
proper measures are taken. she is prepared

The ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Express. commenting upon the mys-
terry of Count Muravieffs death, suggests
that the late Russian foreign minister was
poisoned by the secretary of the Chinese
legation.

the situation in Manchuria is improving.

barded the Chinese village of Sakhalin,
which was set on fire. The Chinese. how
ever continued to receive reinforcements.
ard maintained such an obstinate resist
arce as to convince Gen. Gribsk of the
necessity of occupying Aigun where 100
Chinese. with artillery. were In position.
The Russian troops advanced from the
dir ection of the town of Nismenna1a. The
Chinese massed their troops in large bodies
at various points. and made stout resist
ance: but they were finally overcome. The
town of Aigun was partly destroyed. and
the Russians occupied all the important de-
fensive positions on the right bank OF the
river driving the Chinese out of them.
The Russian operations We're carried OUT
with great brilliancy and slight loss The
Russians captured seventeen guns ana
killed 1000 Chinese.
The Russian troops who were d1spatched
to the relief of the railway officials are
now advancing successfully in all direc-
tions. Inc fine weather and considerable
rise of the rivers Amur and Shilka favor

Mr. Rockhill, who has just been appointed
a special commissioner to China has gone
out of town TO a Pennsylvania resort, but
will return to Washington Monday. The
latest developments in the Chinese situation
will not affect his mission; in fact they
have rather increased its Importance. for
they are taken to presage an earlier settle
ment in China than had been expected. Mr.
Rockhill, accordingly, will sail from San
Francisco on the American steamer Maru
