An oda Tomh.ton..


With all its remarkable monumental
In stone and tributes in bronze, Airing
ton contains nothing more striking
than the memorial that has Just been
erected over the bones of the battle
ship Names men. 1t is a huge. old
fashioned anchor, probably made a GEN.
fury ago, and recovered from the deep
near Boston harbor. This relic of the
sea is roughly welded out of iron, with
an immense wooden crossbar, and. an a
reposes above Capt. Sigsbee's brave fel-
lows, rears itself ten feet in the air. II
rests on spacious concrete base, rails
ing 1t from the level of the hundreds of
mounds, and can be seen from the Po-
tomac outlined against III. sunset
sky. Very appropriately the huge an
ehor, with its eloquent inscription. In
hanked on either side by ponderous
looking Spanish mortar OF ANTIQUE
bronze and showing the signs of great
age. The mortars are mounted on low
piers OF masonry, and, though either
would be imposing in itself, they APP
pear diminutive in comparison with the
giant anchor.-Chicago Chronicle.

The New japanese

Held high Rank in Foreign
Office of Japan.

Baron Hsyashi, the new japanese
Minister at the Court of ST. James's
in now on his way to London. He
is regarded as one Of the ablest
among JapanS junisr statesmen.
The early part Of his official career
was passed in the Department Of
Public Works, but he was subsc-
quently transferred to the Foreign
Office, whore he rose to the rank Of
vise-M Minister, holding that post
throughout the war with China, and
receiving . patent of nobility for
distinguished services. He then pre-
cseded to st. Petersburg az japanese
Minister, in succession to Baron
Nishi, now occupying similar pos
ition in Pekin. The Japanese serv.
ice resembles the French in that the

Prospect for Early
Relief of Pekin.

Some time ago it was estimated
that i. would require $4,000 men to
open up "ekin and relieve the tereig-
ners shut up in that city. Since
then it has become necessary to re-
wise these figures and ii lS neD seen
that a much larger force will be nee
ded. Even if this is true, however,
it would seem from our cable despat-
ches of to-day that the requisite
force has at last, been secured.
The Japanese alone have $4,000
men, already in Taxa, and ready to
push on TO Pekin at once. These
troops, with the foreign detachments
already in the field, make up an
effective army Of more than 100, 900
men, well armed and fully equip.
ped.
Such force, properly led, and
working harmoniously, ought Ger.
tainly to be able to give a good &C.
count of themselves against the bar
baric hordes opposed to them, even
although the latter have o. late years
had the hereAt Of much expert Hu.
ropean instruction and are said to
bs we'll provided aoith medern arms
and ammunition.
If the allied troops fail, the prob
abilities are that their failure will bs
due to no Inherent weakness of men
or material in the individual com.
ponent elements Of the associated
armies.
But already, we are informed, the
baleful influence Of international
jeslousiss is beginning to make itself
felt.
The Russians look with great dis
trust upsu the large armies which
Japan is landing in China, and such
is the feeling amsng German Ofic.
ers that we are told that just before
the arrival at Taku of the Japanese
troopships, the German cruisers left
the Bay to avoid the unpleasant ne
cessity of saluting these vessels.
Such feeling is very much to be
regretted. In no way except by ab-
solutely harmonious unissn Of action
can the foreign allied nations hope
10 succeed in stemming the tide Of
fanatical savagery new rising stroa-
ger and stronger each day in China.
Let each and all pat forth every
effort possible to accomplish tho
result universally desired to restore
peace and order to tina disquieted
and distracted empire, and above all
things let the nations associated in
the good work avoid all possible oc-
casion of offence among themselves
until their task is finished.

Advance postponed
until middle of
August.

New York, July 23rd, 1900
Official kilograms received
from Taku declare that the
march OF the allied forces to
Pekin will not take place uu-
til the middle of August, when
the Japanese expedition army
and the forces that England
France, Germany. Russia
and the United States have
sent to the Chinese coast will
be concentrated in TEN Tsin.
This decision is due to its
being considered hazardous
for the troops actually in the
field to undertake to attack
Pekin, where the rebels rely
upon a formidable army with
which to oppose the powers.
