AN APPALLING SPECTACLE.
Scenes In the Native City of Tien Tsin.
Chinese Losses.

TEN TsIN, July 10, via SHANGHAI,
July 25.-ColoneI Bower of the Chinese
regiment. Colonel Baback of the Rus
slams and Colonel Aoki of the Japanese
will form the joint provisional govern
ment for the city of Tien Tsin, which it
was recently decided to establish. They
will be intrusted with the task of bring
ing something like order out of the ex-
listing chaos
Since the issue of the proclamation
inviting well disposed Chinese to return
to their homes q number have come
back to the city, and many native SER
wants are coming to the settlements, a
majority of them returning to the SER
vice of their previous employers.
The native city presents an appalling
spectacle of ruin and desolation. The
suburbs were completely destroyed by
fire, mostly caused by the shells of the
allies on the side facing. the settlements.
It is believed that not a dozen houses are
intact and all were little damaged by
the tremendous fire of the allies artil-
lery, which, however, was apparently
not heavy enough to produce much
effect. A curious spectacle is presented
by number of mud novels Immediately
underneath the wall, where the latter
was most damaged, hardly one of them
showing signs of having been hit. In
side the city the damage was terrific.
The buildings nearest the wall were
mostly Quilted by fire, and many were
totally blown to pieces by the shells of
the allies. Among the smouldering
ruins are many charred corpses, which
the pigs and dogs are eating.
The allies are busy in removing the
bodies, but in consequence of the great
number of dead, many have not yet been
buried. The streets are strewn with all
kinds Of articles and dozens Of Chinese
are digging in the ruins for money and
other valuables. Most of the houses
which are intact or little damaged dis
play the flags of one or the other Of the
allied forces, the Japanese and French
flags predominating There have been
attempts to initiate the flags which, IN
der other circumstances, would be laugh
able. The houses which do not display
flags show bits of cotton or paper bear
ing the names of the allied nations and
complimentary sentences.
It Is stated that the Chinese loss since
the troubles broke out are 1900, most
of whom have been killed by Boxers and
soldiers. This is probably much exag-
gerated. The Boxers are said to be
gathering in large numbers in the neigh
borhood of the Hsikon arsenal, captured
by Admiral Seymour S column and now
occupied by Russian troops, who have
suffered several casualties through
''snipers'' concealed in the woods in the
vicinity

COLD DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Question of Nominating a Presidential
Ticket to BE Decided.


INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-If the matter
is left to the national committee of the
Gold Democrats there will be no Gold
Democratic ticket in the field. While
the committee cannot settle the ques-
ton, it's recommendation will have
great weight either way. Among the
Gold Democratic committeeman Indi-
ana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wis
consin are opposed to third ticket.
The feeling now is that there will be no
ticket put out by the Gold Democrats.
There is feeling among the Gold Dem
ocrats here that the anti-imperlalists, or
independents, can put ticket in the
field if they wish to, and that it Will be
independent of the Gold Democrats.
The Gold Democratic committee will,
after the meeting, issue an address
which will be in the form of platform,
and will reaffirm the position taken in
1896. The members will be permitted
to vote as they please.
Nine members of the committee of Is,
appointed by the New York meeting of
anti-imperialists TO visit the meeting of
the national Democratic committee here,
are in the city.
1t is not likely that this committee
will do anything else than present it's
case to the national Democratic commit
tee Chairman Osborne says that it will
60 before the national Democratic COM
mittee and ask that it place another
ticket in the field. The members of the
committee will present their case with
arguments by several members and will
then await the action of the national
Democrats. Should the national Demo
Gratis not decide to put another ticket in
the field the anti-imperialists will look
to the. anti Imperialist League, which
meets here Aug. 10 to place ticket in
hbo fold

CHINESE SOLDIERS
TURN THEIR GUNS ON
BOXERSAT TEN TSIN
Claim They Were Deceived
Into E1nbarking On a
Hopeless Struggle.
WIDESPREAD DIssENsION

Believed That In a Short Time the
Same State of Affairs VIII Prevail at
PeIking-Scenes In the Native City.
Hogs and Dogs Are Feeding On Dead
Bodies - Searching the Ruins.
TIEN TsIN, July 90, via SHANGHAI,
July 25.-Chinese coming in from the
country report that the Chinese soldiers
are killing the Boxers wherever the lat
ter are seen, giving as a reason that the
Boxers deceived them into embarking
on hopeless struggle. This is regarded
as sign of widespread dissension. It
is said to be only a matter of o short
time before the same state of affairs will
exist in Peking, when, in all probable
ity, Jung Lu, communicating chief Of the
Chinese forces, and Prince Ching will
be able to regain sufficient influence to
make peace, especially if the foreigners
in the capital are safe. This appears to
represent the general native opinion
here, as far as it is possible to ascer-
tain it.
In the meantime, reliable news as to
events in Picking and whether the for
eigners are alive is entirely lacking or is
only obtainable from Chinese sources,
and even this is most meager and con-
Trajectory.
1t is now thought that the forward
movement of the allies will probably
take place earlier than was at first in
tended, possibly by the end Of this
month, but nothing definite will be de-
cided upon before the arrival Of General
Sir Alfred Gaselee, commanding the In
dian contingent.
A rumor from Picking reports that the
foreigners were safe July 10, and there
had baen considerable fighting between
the Boxers and soldiers inside the city.

According to an exchange, the pep

the hands of the farmers than did even
the apple crop, will become nearly eX-
tinct.
Many persons will not realize what
the green pea louise has done until they
buy canned peas next winter. The
price then will startle them. and they
may talk powerfully about trust Of

woman's Building at Buffalo.

Work is now well under way, says n
Buffalo paper, on the WOman's building
at the southeastern corner of the Pan
American exposition grounds. This is
to be the rest building and rendezvous
of the board of women managers of
the exposition and while comparative
~ small in size and out of the way as
to location will be point of great at
traction to at least the better half of
the visitors next year At present the
building will be recognized as the old
home of the Country club, near the
ElmwOod gate. This came into posses
sion of the exposition with the grounds
on which it stood, the Country club
moving it to its present quarters north
of the park. The exposition managers
will transform this building at an ex-
penditure of 5000, so that its old occu-
pants will not recognize it. Carpenters
are now tearing out the interior of the
rear wing, cutting in extra windows
and preparing for an elaborate extern
sion on the western side. When these
alterations are done, the towers are up
and the whole exterior colored to suit
the surroundings, the women managers
will have home to be proud of.

WEDNESDAY.
A Winter Part.

The style of parting the hair on the
side will be very popular this winter.
1t was introduced this time by Mrs.
James Brown Potter, to whom it gives
youthful appearance. With it is worn
either the high or low couture. The
low couture is becoming to youthful
face, but there is nothing that gives a
middle aged woman more unlOvely
appearance than the side part and the
coil of hair in the neck. 1t seems to
me that this new style is ugly and I'M
feminine and that it takes away the
sweetness of q face of ordinary beau
ty. OF course the woman who is beau
tlful can try all sorts of novelties and
still look WELL but it is foolish for most
persons to experiment with novelties
in the way of hairdressing. For even
ings the aigret has supplanted the bow.
Don't decorate your head too much
Study your type and use your common
sense. Remember that there should be
a certain appropriateness about the
style of the couture. Elaborate modes
are absurd and out of place with the
shirt waist and short skirt There
may be some good reason for using n
lot of combs in your hair, but the imi-
tation shell pins, combs and brooches
now in vogue make the hair a sort of
cushion for the display of stuff that
looks little like tortoise she'll
