AMERICANS AND RUSSIANS REPULSED.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The navy
department this morning received an
important dispatch from Admiral
Kempff, which was given out for pub
licatlon In the following form:
"Aeting Secretary Hackett this
morning received dispatch frem
Rear Admiral Kempff dated Chez Foo
June %. to the effect that our marines
undar Major Waller, together with
| 400 Russians, have had On engagement
| with the Chinese army near Tien Tsin.
They could not break through the.
Chinese line. Forces numbering 2, 900,
| the admiral reports, are now ready TO
make another attempt
THE TROOPS ARE CHINESE REGULARS
This news is most serious, for it adds
| to the belief that the regular Chinese
| troops are bonn harding Tien Tsin, and
this mesns open war. The dispatch
shows that the opposing forces must be
n over whelm!ng numbers, and that
it is q we'll organized body.
Either horn of the dilemma points
to the presence OF imperial troops.
The question of the safety of foreign
ers in Tien Tsin and Pekin is coz
sidered almost secondary to that of
war. formal opening of hostilities
would mean a struggle which might
prove one of endless complications.
Not only China, which seems predes-
tined as the sacrifcial goat, would be
involved, but nearly every power on
the globe, including ours.
TERRIBLE NEWS FROM TEN TsIN.
SHANGHAI, June 22.-Terrible
| news comes from Tien Tsin.
The Chinese have six large guns,
! which put the town almost at their
mercy. The foreign community tried
to escape by the river but could not on
account of its shallowness.
| The Russian general At Tien Tsia
telegrsphs that reinforcements are
! urgently needed to prevent the an
nihilation Of the foreigners.
The Chinsee are reported.to be like
wild beasts. The foreign troops have
been beaten back on every side.
WASHINGTON STILL IN DOUBT
WASHINGTON, June 23-Several i'm
portant com nunications were received
today by the secretary of state, ap-
parently justi!ying the attitude assum-
ed by this government that, tech oically
speaking, state of war does not exist
| between the United States and China.
Said high official of the state depart
ment this morning: ut is q most sin
gular Circumstance thss out of forty or
fifty dispatch es received from China we
have not been abe to learn whet thsr il

Girls Composition on Boys.

Boys are men that have got as big as
their papas, and girls are women that
will be young ladies by-and bye.
Men was made before women. When
God looked at Adam he said TO himself:
swell, think l can do better If I try
again." and then he made Eve. God liked
Eve SO much better than Adam that there
have been more women than men ever
since.
Boys are a trouble. They wear out
everyt hing but soap. II l had my way,
half of the boys in the world would be
girls, aud the rest would be dolls. My
papa Is SO nice that think he must have
been little girl when he was little boy.
