THE CHAN EsE sEyyAR.

Paris, August 2f, A % a. NJ. A special
to LIE Steele from st. Petersburg says:
at is per3istently rumored in st. Peters
burg that the Russian government has
received a dispatch asserting that after
d fierce battle inside Pekin, the allies re-
treated, losing 1900 men, mostly Bus
SLAMS. It is further said that the Chi
nese occupy fortified positions from
which they are bombarding the allies in
murderous manner"
London, Aug. %, $50 a m.-The al
lies, rasaming aggressive operations
have taken the district west of Pekin.
This statement, based on { hinese
authority, is cabled from Shanghai.
From the same place comes the further
statement that Iii Hung Chang has
wired the empress dogager at Hsian Flu,
requesting the arrest of Prince Tuan
and the disarmament OF the Boxers in or
der to give him an opportunity for n9so-
tiations with the powers.
The illuminations projected at Shan e.
hal in celebration of tie relief Of Pekin

cause a native outbreak.

says the Shanghai correspondent OF the
STANDARD, going to show that General
Yung Lu was the real authority OF the
anti foreign outbreak. The empress

an extreme attitude while he stood aside

respondent OF the Daily Mail, are anxi-
oas to return to the interior, but the
United States consul has forbidden them

Fire at EouDuy or.

The cry of fire aroused most OF our
citizens at an early hourTuesday morning
and for time it looked as if number
of buildings would be destroyed. VIM.

to be on fire by Don Leech and j. w

they Immediately raised the alarm. The
building was dangerously close to the

but both were saved from almost in
evitable destruction by the prompt
action Of volunteers, who organized a
bucket brigade and kept the roofs and
walls wet. j. w. England's carpenter
shop was situated directly east OF the
burning stable and was totally destroyed
with some of the personal belongings Of
Mr.. England Both buildings were
consumed within little over an hour
after the fire started, nothing remaining
when the ACANTHA's representative
appeared upon the scene, but a pile Of
smoldering logs and ashes, which speaks
well for the reporters steadfastness of
purpose 10 rendering to Morpheus that
which belongs to him. A valuable
stallion. the property OF IA. B. Cowell
was burned to death, it being impossible
to lead him out of the stable. One Of
F.C. Begins black horses was severely
burned on the back, ana large amount
Of harness. several saddles and about ten
tons Of hay were destroyed. Mr.. Miller
carried $1,000 Insurance on the stable
which will partly reimburse him for his
loss, but Mr.. England had no insurance
on his property. Tae origin OF the fire is
unknown, but some smoker is probably
the cause Of all the trouble. Fortunate
ly there was hardly breath OF wind
otherwise a serious conaagratioa world

foxes and gnard the island from poach-
ers The food used is raw FISH, dried
fish, wha.e meat, seal meat, and in some
cases wild geese. Ii the supply OF meat
food is limited, cornmeal is used. Al
most any food is acceptable to the foxes.
Blue foxes have been found to be best
suited to this purpose. Black and silver
furs are worth much more but they do
not do SO well, and are accused of de-
vouring their young. The blue fox in-
creases very rapidly. Each feuale will
produce litter OF from four to ten or
more young each year. Usually no furs
are taken for number OF years as the
plan is to stock the island thoroughly
first. However, soma males may be
killed without fearas it is not necessary
to keep the sexes equally divided. The
furs are worth from fifteen to forty dol
lars.
The feeding is usually done in room
around which are places to set box traps.
At times these traps are set and the
foxes caught for examination, marking,
counting or killing. BY catching and
marking the foxes the keeper can ap
proximate the number on the island.
Notwithstanding the growing industry
of fox farming, the largest number OF
blue foxes sent to market from any one
place came from the Prlbilof islands
which are rented by the North Ameri-
can Commercial Company. According
to the census OF 1890 these islands ship
1850 to 1000 furs annually.-Juneau

Paris Graen for Cattle.

John Linn, a ralcher, r95{aing in Mel
senbach precinct, was yesterday held by
Justice Race for trial in the district
court on the serious charge of exposing
poison with intent that it should be
eaten by live stock.
The complaint was made by Duncan
Cameron, a naighbor OF Linn, who chars,
ed that Linnshad sprinlzled strong solu-
ton of Paris green over oats and then
left them exposed in sucn manner that
Cameron's cattle would reach them.
It appears that Linn and Cameron
have long be9n enemies. The testimony
for the prosecution showed tina; Gamer
on's cattle have been ranging near LiDn's
field OF oats, and that, few days ago,
Linn cut his fence along one side OF the
fell and sprinkled the poison over the
oats at many places in the lisld, the cats
50 spriukled covering in the aggregate
about three acres.
Cameron, it appears, discovered the
cut fence and the poison, on the oats
before his cattle had got into the titld.
He drove his cattle away from that
vicinity, cut some Of the oats and
brought them to the city.
DR.. G. T. Sweeney made chemical
examination and found much crystailized
arsenic on the oats.
County Attorney Gormley prosecuted
the. case ana John A. Largent appeared
for the defense.

THE ROUNDER.

The Ronnder has got back. He has
been up in Canada chaperoning the
Utopians who went up there to secure
their rights. The whole town OF Utopia
moved out with tue Rounder in the lead
and headed for the north. There were
wagons, buggies and travois, greasy
haired chiefalins with their cowardly
cons, lousy matrons With their slovenly
daughters, NANCY cur5 and bowling
brats, all making a cavaIeads worthy OF
the crusades. Upoa their arrival at
Lethbridgo they enquired 70. the Office
OF the queeu's representative and were
shown into the presence Of an English
dude with window pane screwed into
his eye. The f2ounder, nothing daunted,
spit on his hands, slapped his moccasins
and demanded scrip for the whole crowd
in the name OF the great American
eagle. The dude heeitated aad the
Rouuder SLAPPED his war bonnet on the
table and turned to issue commands to
his force but only three or four old
squdws met his war like gaze. The
braves had vanished However, after
, considerable parley the dude conde-
scended TO issue a few papers, then he
lit out. The crowd held pow WOW and

snnhhInr spelIIng Reformers,

The London Academy has admins
tered a snub to spelling reformers,
American and English, by reminding
them that new spelling will be initiated
by writers, not by schoolmasters and
photographers. The instances Of or
biographical misfit adduced suggest
that the efforts Of Il. Benjamin An
drews are present to the mind Of the
English critic. But President Andrews
Is typical Of q class. The refOrmers
are, 1t seems, going at It like carpep-
ter with his plane with the int ltion Of
making a smooth, dead level Of words
that have all the interesting variety Of
association and the sharpest difference
In meaning. To make night and knight
indistlnguishable to the eye opens up a
prospect Of torture In searching out old
verbal friends that one does not like to
contemplate. Then, as The Academy
suggests, how shall we manage by, bye
and buy and thousand others? The
persistence of this craze is unaccounta-

HUNTING FOR ANOREE.

Another effort to discover some clew
TO the fate OF Andree will be made this
summer. The National Geographic
Magazine states that the Swedlsh-Rus-
sian expedition which will leave this
month for Spltzbergen TO relieve the
party that Is at present engaged In the
work Of measuring an arc Of the meri-
dian in that latitude plans to make a
detour to King Charles Land and care

1t will be remembered that In Septem-
Der Of last year a buoy was picked up
on the north coast Of King Charles
Land at so degrees north latitude and
% degrees east longitude marked AN
dree's Polar Expedition" When taken
to Stockholm and opened, It proved to
be what Andree had called "the north

place a message when he passed the
north pole However, q mlcroscopical
examination Of the interior could dis
cover no message As the buoy could
not have drlfted to King Charles Land

only conclusion possible Is that 1t was

A single big gun Of the many now

seacoasts costs n large sum. Some In
teresting figures on this subject have
Just been submitted. says The Scien

A ~ inch breechlOadlng rife, with
It's disappearing carriage, costs $l41,'
900, a 10 inch breechloader $99,25C
and an 8 inch $4,000. The figures
show that modern high powered guns
cost great sums, and the cost Of firing
them is proporiionately large.
The report of experts who have In.
spected these guns and the devices fol
securing an accurate aim shows that
great saving is effected by modern
