IN FEAR OF ATTACK.
French Minister Describes the Situa-
tion lin Picking as Critical.

Paris, Aug. %. - The foreign office
makes public the following dispatch
from NJ. Pchon. the French minister to
China. Although the dispatch is dated
Aug. ID, the government declares that
it has just been received;
The allies arrived ON Aug. IA. They
continued operations on the 18th, bonn
harding the imperial city and portions Of
the palace Tie French troops entered
pcking on the 10Th after Il brilliant en-
gngement in which the Russians, British
ami Japanese participated. | assisted
therein, being accompanied by members
Of the legation, including NJ. De Antho-
nard, who had accompanied General
Frey from Tien-tsin.
I'VE entered the palace gardens, where
General Frey established provisional
headquarters. The emperor and the en-
press, with some Of the members Of the
government, fled after executing five or
six members of the tsungli-yamen. who
were less hostile to foreigners. The ac.
tual whereabouts of the emperor and EN-
press is unknown.
Tho generals agreed in unanimous ac-
cord with the diplomatic body to enter
the imperial palace and drive out the re-
naming Chinese troops, but to content
themselves with marching through the
palace. not remaining encamped therein
"One of the chief sources of anxiety is
The re-establishing of communication with
Tien-tsin by railway and telegraph. The
insecurity of the roads renders the work
difficult, but there is urgent need for its
accomplishment, as fears exist of the ag-
gressive return of the Boxers and regu-
lars, making it necessary to take serious
precautions.
Picking has been divided into police
districts for each body of troops under
the command of the respective generals.
Additional losses of the French legation
not mentioned in my first telegram are
two sailors, one volunteer and Captain
Labrousse, who were killed before the
troops arrived. The total killed while
defending the legation was, therefore, IA.
At Peitang FIVE were killed, including
Lieutenant Henri.
The inmates of the legation, including
the European servants, were found in
wretchcd health. | am going to the
Spanish legation with Interpreter Morisse
and Chancellor Bertheaux. The rest re-
main in what is left of the legation end
in neighboring Chinese houses. The
grcater portion of the city is a mass Of
ruins"

INTUITION.
BY Henry clev .laai
Wood

How does it know-this tiny hidden thing
Within its wilderness OF tangled grass,
The hour when summers languid footsteps
pass,
And Southward- flying birds are on the wing
While Earth is dumb with August's silencine?
How does it know the time for purplish haze,
Or guess the wondrous Transformation scene,
Which sets the field and forest all abaze?
Yet, in shrill notes, from drowsy ways of
green,
Breaking the spell that passing Summer sways,
The Cricket first proclaims the Autumn days.

Wheeler ; Return Home.

The announcement that Gen. Wheel
cr IS on his way home from the Phil.
ippncs is confirmed by the war ,:c-
partmcnt orders for his return, and BY
adyiccs received by friends in this
city. Whether his return is due, as
stated, to dissatisfaction with the way
things have gone in the Philippines,
and especially with his failure to Sc
cure an assignment which meant active
lighting, is not clear, but the general
belief is that he would have stayed
out there had there been any real
fighting. The President is said to IA
vor legislation which will authorize
the appointment Of Gen. Wheeler.
Gen. Wilson and Gen. Lee as briga-
dicr generals on the retired list in re
cognition Of their faithful services to
the country during and since the
Spanish war; General Wheeler will
be disappointed in his expectation to
take seat in the House on his return
from the Philippines. There is Il
very general agreement on both sides
Of the House that it has been clearly
shown by the examination of law and
precedent that he has forfeited the
right to seat in Congress, and that
the only thing open to him is to go
back to his district and seek re election
if he desires to continue service in
Congress.
No doubt is entertained that if he
seeks reelection at special election
to fill the vacancy he will be returned
to Congress, perhaps without opposi
ton; but it will be held by the House,
according to the best authorities in
both parties, that the seat from this
district is now vacant and will re-
main so until special election has
been held
The suggestion has been made that
Gen. Wheeler might have actually re-
signed on or before the day Of the
meeting Of this Congress, thus quail
flying himself to resume his seat in
the House, but this is disposed of by
the fact that the records of the depart
ment show that he held his commits
sion and was in the service when Con-
gress convened. This was examined
into when the question arose as to
whether his name should be consider
ed in making the House committee as
signments. and Courier.

What Tim Told Them.

Some weeks ago bridal couple
came in from Sacramento and put UP
at the Palace. The bridegroom was
very sensitive, and so he told his valet
not to tell any of the servants at the
hotel that he was newly married.
Notwithstanding all precautions, the
young couple seemed to be the center
of attraction. In the dining room
they we're ogled by the ladies and in
the corridors by the men. Finally
they could stand it no longer. Call
ing his valet, the bridegroom said
severely: ::'Tim, / thought 1 told you
not to tell anybody that we we're new
ly married" "Shure, sorr," was the
reply, an / tould thin all you wuzz-
ent married.
