ing and was connected at first with the

~ after to go to the Waiaiua plantation,
which he owned and managed for twen-
ty-fve years. Two years ago Mr.. Hal
stead sold the Waialua plantation to the
Waialua Sugar Company. and retired
home in Makiki, where h. nad since re-

 The following day the enemy made a des- perate attempt to reach the headquarters train at Lang Fang. The Boxers advanced with fanatical courage to within twenty yards of the locomotive, in the face of a terrific rife and Maxim gun fire, but were repulsed with the loss of about 200 killed and hundreds of wounded.
 The same afternoon the Boxers attempted to reoapture Lofa, which was garrisoned by 6D blue jackets commanded by Lieu tenant Colomb The Boxers used four iron guns, firing pieces of old iron, and were repulsed with the loss of so killed. Two of the guns were captured Lieutenant Colomb was injured.
 These various assaults show an organ ized and simultaneous attempt along the whole line of Vice Admiral Seymour S con- munication. The imperial troops seem to have first joined the Boxers June IS when the international force was moving out of Lang Fang to repel an attack. The sup posed Boxers were discovered to be force of 5,000 men, mostly General Young Fun Sian's imperial troops. After two hours of severe fighting the Chinese bolted, leav- ing four or five hundred dead.
 When the international forces attacked the arsenal, five miles above Tien Tsin, June 22, the American and British marines carried the Chinese entrenchments at the point or the baYonet in magnificent style, splendid1y supported by the Germans who crossed the river lower down and captured six guns which they promptly turned on the flying enemy The arsenal was found to be extermely well equipped with all inn aginable war stores, including many Krupps and Maxims, thousands of modern rifles and tons of ammunition and small arms.
 The Chinese tenacity was evidenced in their attempt during the afternoon to re- capture the arsenal but they were repulsed after two hours desperate fighting. It was to that that Commander Bucholtz of the kaiserine Augusta was killed.

President Baxter of the Tennessee Company States That the Contracts Have Been

President Baxter of the Tennessee coal, Iron and Railroad Company was in New York the early part of the week to attend a meeting of the directors of that company. While there he was interviewed by a re- porter for the Wall Street Journal. In the course of the interview he said:
 T thindk the prices of iron have about reached a point where the large consumers will begin to buy. At the present time we are working practically on old contracts the new orders, while quite numerous, be- ing for small amounts. When large buyers think that the bottom prices have been reached we can look for improvement in the iron markets.
 We are running full time, and expect to continue to do so. The proposed rail mill will probably not be in operation for seven or eight months We are now letting the contracts for building it. The outlook for export business is encouraging. We ship about 12,000 tons this month principally to Hamburg and Rotterdam The question of wages for the ensuing year will be decided this week. We do not look for any trouble in this direction. 1 cannot say offhand what our production of iron the current year will be. but l regard the outlook of the company as very good

 Motorman to Blame
MANY OF INJURED WILL DIE

Tacoma, Wash, July 4.-Nearly a hun dred people, passengers on a car bound for this city, were plunged down a gulch at Twenty-sixth and G streets at o'clock a. m. Those who were standing on the plat form dropped off only to be bruised and wounded by the heavy body of the coach. while others inside were killed and maimed before they knew what had happned.
 The car jumped the track and was smashed to kindling wood in the chasm over hundred feet below. The dead will number nearly three score, many of the injured will never recover and are expected to die at any moment, and there are at least sixty of the passengers of the car now in various hospitals and under the care of their own physicians.
 Residents of the nearby towns of Edison, Lakeview, Parkland, Lake Park and other places were coming to Tacoma to spend the Fourth. Their journey was nearly at an end Excited men and women and children besieged the morgues searching for missing friends.
 A little girl of and a girl baby are at the Fanny Paddock hospital They seem to be deserted.
 The car which plunged into the ravine left Edison at about o'clock Every inch of space on the platforms was taken. One report is that the motorman after starting down Apexa hill turned on his current in stead of shutting it off, and when the car had gained such momentum as to threat en to get away from him he turned off the current, but it was then too late, for the car was going at Tightening speed and the incline is steep.
 Passengers on the front platform who deavored to jump, and several of them reached the ground in safety.

 It remained for the night session to bring the most remarkable demonstration of the entire day. Again the great structure was invaded by thousands, and the moving picture took on new glories of color and animation under the glare of countless electric lights. For the first hour the proceedings were formal and proftless, but then at the close of the speech of Per manent Chairman Richardson he paid a glowing tribute to William J. Bryan, pan demonium broke loose, and the historic scene of Bryan's nomination at Chicago was repeated. The State standards were aloft, a battle of supremacy was waged between the standard bearers, urged on by the deafening applause of the entire shout ing, gesticuating multitude
