WHITES CRY FOR AID.
British Minister Appeals to England
Aug. g.

london, Aug. 15.-The British con-
sui At Canton, says the Daily 'Tele-
graphs correspondent there, has re-
ceiyed the following message, dated
Aug. 6, from Cir Claude Macdonald
British minister in Pekin:
Our situation here is desperate. In
ten days our food supply will be at an
end. Unless we are relieved a general
massacre is probable.
The Chinese offer to escort us to
TieA-Tsin, but, remembering Gavin
pore, we refuse the offer. There are
over 200 European women and chill
dren in this legation

RUSSIANS FIGHT FOR RAILWAY
Chinese Driven on in Several Recent
Skirmishes In Manchuria

Skhmisnes In manchurfa-
Moscow, Aug. 15.-There has been
constant fighting along the Sungari
river, at various stations on the Man
churia railway. Up to Aug. the losses
sustained by the Russians in these bat
ties were five railway employees, one
officer and fifty-seven soldiers killed
and seven employees, two officers and
ninety-three soldiers wounded. Be-
fore the Russian occupation of Khar-
bin the Chinese burned the native
town. A detachment OF Cossacks en-
tered Urga, northern Mongolia, for the
purpose of protecting the Russian con-
sui, who has been threatened by the
Chinese. The native Mongols are
friendly to the Russians. Gen. Renne-
kampf, after receiving reinforce
ments, defeated the Chinese and
chased them from all their positions.
He is now nearing Blagoveshchensk
The dispersed rebels have fed to Mer-
gen to join a body of 10000 Chinese,
said TO be gathered there. A dispatch
from st. Petersburg says that Yang
Yu, the Chinese minister. assures the
Russian government that the ministers
are about to leave Pekin, with strong
Chinese escort. Information from other
sources. however, represents the min
listers as by no means eager to leave
the city. as they trust neither the
promises of the Chinese government
nor the honesty Of the proposed escort.

PLOTTED HER ENEMY's DEATH.
an Alleged Conspiracy Against The
Life of Prosecutor Voorhees,.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N j., April %
Public Prosecutor John S. Voorhees,, OF
Middiesex County, was surprised a few
days ago by a report which reached him
from Drummonds Detective Agency in
New York, that lis life had been cen
spired against by a woman named Mrs.
Rosie Rucb, who keeps a lodging house
and saloon at Nelson and Somerset
Streets, this city. The report of the con-
spiracy was sent to the agency by Detec-
tives Sylvester, CCsgroye. and John Hill.
who have been in this city for several
weeks working on clews to the incendi-
aries VINO have twice set fire to the works
OF the Consolidated Fruit Jar Company.
Cosgrove got job in the fruit jar
works. and was discharged later for smok-
ing cigarettes in the factory. He and
Hill, disguised as workmen, made it 4
point to frequent Mrs. Ruch's place in
order to fall in with the fruit jar oper-
atives. Cosgrove told everybody that he
had been discharged without sufficient rea-
son, and made threats of wreaking ven
geanee upon the man who was responsible
for his discharge.
Mrs. Ruch, ii is said, heard Cosgrove
make these threats. and suggested to him
that he might help her get square with
an enemy. It is alleged by the detectives
that she named Prosecutor Voorhees,. She
said that he had feen active in prosecut-
ing her for runniA a dive and was still
pursuing her. Cosgruve and Hill said they
would make way with Voorhees, some night
while he was on his way to his home in
George Street, which is on a high bank
overlooking the Raritan Canal. They were
TO receive 500, but Mrs. Ruch would pay
no money until the deed was done. The
Job was set for Thursday night last, but
they postponed it, Cosgrove says, to en-
able Mrs. Ruch to provide him E-ith a
dark coat. That which he wore was light
She got him dark coat and then the job
was postponed on another pretext.
Late last night Mrs. Ruch was arrested
by Detective FurgesUn and taken to the Of
fee OF Prosecutor Voorhees,. She was con-
fronted by the detectives and their aIlega-
tions concerning the plot were read to
her. She denied being the originator of
it, and testified that the detectives sug-
gested the job to her. and wanted 500 to
carry it out. Judge Woodbridge Strong
held her in $1,000 boil for conspiracy to
murder.

THE SENATE PROGRAMME.
Senator CIark's Case the Most I'm
portnnt Business of the Week.

The most important business to come
before the Senate during the week will be
the case of Senator Clark of Montana.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire has
given notice that on Wednesday he will
ask for consideration of the resolution to
the effect that William 4. Clark was not
duly and legally elected to seat in the
United States Senate by the Legislature Of
Montana. AS the matter is a question of
high privilege. the case will no doubt be
allowed to come up, and while it is inti-
mated that Senator Allen may again OBJ
ject, it is thought hardly probable that
there VIII be any objection.

tion. On Tuesday Senator Stewart will
