But the Efforts of the Operates
Averted Serious Injury.
Last evening about O'Clock there
was an exciting episode on McMechen
avenue, near Fifth street, in Benwood.
A three year-old daughter of Thomas
Thoner, an employee at the Riverside
mills, had a very narrow escape from
serious injury or death. She was play
ing in the street near her home with
some other children at the time. Just
as a ear on the Wheeling line turned
the corner and started down McMechen
avenue, the child ran from the side
walk and started across the street,
passing directly in front of the car She
was struck by the basket and knocked
down. The weight was not enough to
drop the fender and it passed over her.
The motoFman, seeing her danger,
stopped his car almost Immediately,
and when the child was licked up she
was almost touched by the front
wheels.
A number Of passengers on the car
witnessed the accident. The child.

has received information, presumably
from Admiral Remey, that the number

The movement of the troops from Tien

A DEEP LAID PLOT.
Scheme of the Chinese to Send MIN
listers Out Under Guard Not Look
ed Upon Favorably.

Scheme of the Chinese to Send Min
listers Out Under Guard Not Look
ed Upon Favorably.
NEW YORK, July 27.--A despatch
to the Herald from Shanghai says:
The proposal made by the Chinese
government to the American consul,
through Taotai Sheng, that hostilities
against the Chinese should cease upon
condition that the foreign ministers
were sent under escort to Tien Tsin,
appears to be part of deep laid plan
to conceal the date of the massacres
the duplicity of the officials who being
in possession of the news suppress
ed it.
The story will be that the ministers
all left Pekin under a strong escort,
but were set upon by mob of Box
ers. 1t will be announced that al
though the Chinese soldiers fought
bravely they were overcome and all
were massacred.
In an interview which he has had
with the American consul here Ii Hung
Chang solemnly declared that the min
listers in Pekin were all safe. He de-
MED the statement that Kang vi had
been appointed viceroy at Canton.
The viceroy of Nankin, Liu Kun vi,
is himself ignorant whether the min
listers are alive or dead.
Liu Kun VI is determined to pre-
serve order in his provinces, but If any
reasonable fear become current Of the
partition of China being intended or of
personal injury to the empress dowager
being threatened, the whole of Central
China will explode. The situation is,
indeed, very precarlous.
The new expedition for Pekin is ex-
pected to leave Tien Tsin inside Of
fortnight.
Chinese troops have retreated from
the native city of Tien Tsin and con-
centrating at Yaung-Tun, or the rail-
way line to Pekin, with view to OPP
posing the advance of the allies.

that all the United states troops that
could possibly be spared, had been
ordered to China.
This government presumably IS still
accepting in good faith the representa-
tions made by Minister WI. Our ON
Gals figure that two days must yet
eiapse before an answer can be receiv-
ed from Minister Conger (presunaing
he is still alive) to the last code mes
sage sent him. In the meantime they
are directing every energy to getting
all the men they can into China and
to cooperating with the allied forces
in the forward movement.
There were no official adrices from
any Chinese source over night, except
a short message from Lieut. Stanford,
the signal officer with General Chaffee's
contingent at Nagasaki, announcing
that all was well with the troops.
This government has not been noti-
fed of the selection of a commander
for the allied forces in China, and 1t is
thought the selection has not yet been
made. Gen. Chaffee has orders to do
everything in his power to facilitate
the choice of a head for the expedi-
ton. 1t may be stated that whatever
the preferences of this government in
the matter might be, we will cheerfully
acquiesce in the selection of any one of
the commanders on the ground. The
chief anxiety of this country is to nave
A Start Made for Pehin
as soon as practicable In case the
commanders on the ground cannot
agree among themselves, the question
will have to be referred back to their
respective governments. This would
be regarded here as deplorable delay.
If the question is thrown back on the
various governments, the United Staces
is in the frame of mind to interject
some very plain and forceful language
into the controversy, which probably
would more than ever convince the
foreign chancellories of the business
like and unconventional brand of Am
erican diplomacy.
Admiral Remey's information as to
the strength of the allied forces between
Taku and Tien Tsin, namely $4,000
men, made 1t palmer than ever to the
cabinet that it is almost hopeless to
look for an advance by July 80. The
administration, it is said, has received
no word from the American officers
ashore indicating that the allied COM
manders have reduced their estimate
of $4,000 men as the minimum strength
of the column necessary for forward
movement. 1t is true that the depart
ment has been notified that the coun-
try has been partially evacuated by
Chinese troops or boxers north of Tien
Tsin, but this was not regarded as in
dicating that any less resistance is to
be expected in case the allies have to
force the defenses of Pekin.

UNFAvORABLE COMMENT
Caused by the Arrest of Reporter
By Negro Policeman.


CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 81
The forcible election from the capital
building last night of reporter en-
ployed on the Charleston Gazette has
caused considerable comment unfavor-
able to those in charge OF the building.
The building had been turned over to
the colored Knights of Pythias for the
purpose of holding a reception and
ball. The Gazette reporter being un-
able to get a ticket of admission at
the main door. effected an entrance
through window in order to take
some notes. He was discovered soon
afterward by colored policeman, who
elected the reporter by force.
The consensus of opinion is that the
State house should not have been turn
ed over to the exclusive use of the
negroes, and that a negro policeman
should not have been commissioned to
arrest white men.
