Chinese Successes At Picking and Tien
Tsin Threatens to Permeat Hitherto
Quiescent Provinces = international
JeaIousies stilI Retard Movements
of the Allies-seymour at Taku.
LONDON, July Revenge today
mourning tomorrow, is practically the
universal cry of Europe, but it is sor-
rowfully admitted that there be no re-
venge today, nor, perhaps, for many
tomorrows, for the incredible barbara
ties that are reported to have marked
the last scenes within the legations at
Picking. Nothing is clearer than that
the anti foreign oonfagration is rapidly
permeating even hitherto quiescent
provinces; and though it is recognized
that every day which leaves Peking in
the power of the mob increases the perils
and difficulties of the situation, nothing
comes from the diplomats Of Europe to
show that the powers have overcome the
iealousies, resulting in general tmpo-
tency, to which is commonly ascribed
the sacrifice of the handful of women,
children and men comprising the inter-
national colony in Peking.
Nothing has been received that adds
to the information previously obtained
regarding the massacre. The only ray
of light extricable from the Picking mes
sage appears to be the statement that
Ching and his followers did their ut
most in defense of the legations.
The rebels, however, are evidently
greatly in the majority and the few 10y
alists are helpless before the hordes who
have joined and are daily joining the
blood-stained camarilla who have
usurped authority at Picking. The fate Of
the capital appears to threaten other
towns like Tien Tsin, Che Foo and even
Shanghai
The defeat of che allied forces at Tien
Tsin, seems to place that town in des-
perate straits, and If retreat to Taku is
neoessitated observers consider that it
will be likely to decide the policy OF
wavering vioerOys.
The departure of Admiral Seymour
from Tien Tsin and the movement of
warships toward Shan Hal Kuan, on
the gulf Of Lao Tung, are taken TO in
dictate that this route may be adoptedfor
an advance on Picking, which is distant
10 miles from Snan Hal Kuan
The members Of the Chinese legation
still assert that they have no informa-
ton concerning the fate of the foreign
ers in Peking.
The war Office has received a dispatch
from General Dorward dated Tien Tsin
July Ii, which adds little TO the preyi-
Gus information The Chinese, accord
ing to this dispatch, attacked the station
the morning of July II, and were re-
pulsed after four hours hard fighting, in
which 500 Of the enemy were killed.
On July 8 General Dorward, COM
manding a force of 100 Americans. $50
British and 100 Russians, and General
Fukushima, commanding 1000 Japan
csc, attacked the Chinese and captured
their prsitions southwest of the CITY,
killing $50 and capturing four guns.
American and japanese troops subse-
quently rushed and took the western ar
sexual. General Dorward reports that
the days hoBors rested with the Ameri-
cans and Japanese. There were no cas-
ualties among the Americans and Rus

A ROUGH RIDER CAMPAIGN.

If the Roosevelt candidacy continues
on the lines upon which it has been
projected, says the Nashville American,
it will disgust very large number of
people who have heretofore entertain
ed high opinion for Roosevelt as the
man although they had no sympathy
for his political opinions.
THE office of Vice President is one
of great dignity and Importance.
If the President should die,
the Vice President becomes Presi-
dent, possessing more real power than
the Gar of Russia or the Queen of
England, more, in fact, than posses
sed by any European monarch, I'M
less it be that of the anointed William
of Germany, who is responsible to God
and not the German people for his
acts.
"And yet the whole trend of Senator
Wolcott's speech in formally notifying
Roosevelt of his nomination is that
he was nominated because he is a gall
liant rough rider
Your name will ever be identified
with the heroic achievements of our
army, and your warmest friends and
most devoted admirers are the gallant
band of rough riders whom you led to
victory.
This is the keynote of Wolcott's re-
marks, When the American people
come to the point of nominating men
for positions of great trust because
they are dashing army fighters or be-
cause for. some other reason they have
caught the popular fancy, the country
is in danger.
"Gen. Grant was ''picked" up and
made President because of his military
prestige, and the country has rued
the day it didit. It will probably be adj
mitted that Grant accomplished as much
as, Roosevelt as a soldier. Old soldiers
of the civil war say there were a thous-
and unnamed battles in the struggle
where finer exhibitions of military
courage were displayed than at San
Juan Hill. Not that Col. Roosevelt
was not a gallant and courageous sol
der. He was, but take the novel and
picturesque from his brief military
career and little else is left.
The civil, not the military, idea
must prevail in America. We cannot
afford to raise men up who are stu
dents and thinkers and then turn them
aside for the hero of the hour. If the
English would give Lord Salisbury's
post to Col. Baden-P Powell their ship of
state would soon be water-logged.
"a rough-rider campaign may catch
the rabble, but it is going to thorough
ly disgust the quiet, respectable, think
ing people of the country.

IN GREAT DEMAND
Tickets for Monument Fund Benefit
 Performance

The Kirkley-Adams monument fund ben eft performance of the grand spectacular, the Naval Battle of Santiago" and fire works display Thursday night is an sured financial success. The merit of the exhibition is already known to many of the people of Birmingham. Every officer had tickets to sell yesterday. The zeal with which they entered into their part of the work and the way the tickets were bought left no doubt of the popularity of the movement to erect a fitting monument to the two heroic officers who gave their lives in the discharge of their duty, and to the home men who guard over the lives and property of the citizens during every moment of their waking and sleeping hours. The greatest trouble was to supply tickets for the demand
 The grand spectacle is being moved to the lot at the corner of Tenth avenue and Nineteenth street, on the car line, just two blocks from Capiol Park, in easy reach of all, and no doubt the grounds will be filled to overfowing. The battle will be given as never before and the fire works will be of unusual magnifcence, with fitting pieces for the occasion, and one of the largest programmes of pyro- technics ever presented in Birmingham.

JOHN ]. MOORE HELD
 TO U. s. GRAND JURY
Charged With Fraudulent Use
 of the Mails.
HIS BAIL FIXED AT $3,00O
Prominent Attorney and Chairman of the City Democratic Executive Committee-Case Worked Up
 by P. o. Inspector Rosson

Charged with the fraudulent of the mails in violation of section 54S0 of the re- vised statutes, John J. Moore, a prominent lawyer, and chairman of the city Demo- cratic Executive Committee, was yester- day afternoon held to the Federal Grand Jury by United States Commissioner w. K. Cornish, and his bail fixed at 5000, which he readily gave.
 MT. Moore was arrested about ten days ago on a warrant sworn out by Post Office Inspector J. R. Rosson, and was taken be- fore Commissioner Cornish, who set the hearing for yesterday, and fixed his ap pearance bail at $3,000.
 The charge against Moore is based on the alleged fraudulent use of the mails in securing passes from various railroads throughout the country in exchange for like courtesles over the Birmingham Northern Railway" a line which has it's only existence in elegant stationery which tells the unwary public that U. E. Lin wood is in charge of its executive and managerial affairs, while "J. J. Moore" is the keeper of records and seals and the watch dog of it's treasury.
 The hearing of the case was taken up be- fore Commissioner Cornish at 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon, the governments in terest being looked out for by Assistant United States District Attorney Shelby s. Pleasants and Inspector Rosson, the de- fendant being represented by former As sistant United States District Attorney Lee Cowart
 A number of witnesses were introduced by the prosecution, including the jantor of the Commercial Club building, who swore that mail addressed to U. E. Linwoodn had been delivered to Moore's office in ac- cordance with his instructions; the mail carrier on the Twenty-first street route who swore that "Linwoods s mail was de- livered at the Commercial Club building; Miss Clara Jewell, a stenographer formerly employed by Moore, who swore that Moore dictated certain letters offered in evidence signed by "J. E. Linwood, one of which was addressed to J. A. Stevens, Atlanta Ga, regarding the printing of stationery and passes; and R. w. Haines, delivery clerk for the Southern Express Company, who swore that certain express package addressed to U. E. Linwood" had been de- livered on "Linwood's" order to boy, who swore that the order had been given him by Moore.
 The defendant offered testimony and on the application of the governments at torney was bound over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum above stated.
 MT. Moore, who has enjoyed a good reputation during his long residence in Birmingham, denies his guilt and says that he can establish the fact to the satisfac- tion of fair and impartial jury.
 The punishment under the statute in question is eighteen months Imprisonment in the penitentiary and a fine of $500.
