No Ray of Light

London, July S.-There is nothing in the few dispatches received tonight to add to the ray of hope regarding the fate of the legations at Pekin shed by yesterdays dis patches from Washington, and messages from other sources indicating that the le- gations were still standing on July 3, and that recent attacks by the Boxers had been slight. News from other points was dis tinctly disquieting. A report from Che Fee, dated July ', says that a Catholic bishop, two priests and two nuns have been mur- dered A report from Moukden, dated July says that Danish mission at Hin Yung had been surrounded by Boxers. According to the report 1t would be possible to hold out only two days. A party Of Cossacks, residents of Moukden, and the British con- sul had started for the relief of those be- sieged at the Danish mission. The situa- tion at Tien Tsn on July is said to have been most serious. Japanese and Russian forces are reported to have been hurrying there from Taku, but according to some accounts mutual distrust exists between the allies. A report from Shanghai, dated July 6, says that the British warships are vigiantly watching for the purpose of pre- venting any attempt of the Chinese to cross the Yang TSe Kiang.

The Unlined Wool
 Skirt.

We have told you of them before, but good thing bears repeating, and we want to tell you about them again for fear that you were one of the many who came to get one a ter the previous lots were sold. We have received new invoice in all lengths and shades. In our long experience in this line of goods we never before had a style of skirt of which we sold so many, and still the demand is unsatisfied. These skirts are made of unined homespuns in light, medium and dark grays, also in blacks. They come, too in black mohairs, briian- tines and sicilians, and are all made in walking lengths stitched around the bot tom and are the coolest and most comfort able skirt that can be made in wool skirts. In fact, many prefer them for coolness and comfort to wash skirt for summer wear. Ask to see

 The dispatch does not state the source from which the news of this confirmation is received, but it Is thought this is ndi- cated by another Shanghai dispatch which states that the Tatoi or officer in charge of the several departments at Shanghai and vicinity now admits that no Legation exists in Pekin. They are said to have exterminated them. and 1t is admitted no foreigners have been left alive.
 Reports of the atrocities committed by Prince Yuan upon the Chinese are appall- ing. He had 4,000 leading Chinsee butch cred, it is said, for merely daring to peti- tion him to control the flow of blood and restrain his followers.

THE VILLAGE sCHOOLMAsTER

By Oliver Goldsmith A man severe he was, and stern to view: l knew him well, and every truant knew; Well had the boding tremblers learned to
 trace
 The days disasters in his morning face; Full well they laughed with counterfeited At all his jokes, for many joke had he; Full well the busy whisper, circling round, Conveyed the dismal tidings when he
 frowned
 Yet he was kind or, if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was in fault; The village all declared how much he
 knew Twas certain he could write, and cipher,
 too;
 Lands he could measure, terms and tides
 presage,
 And cen the story ran that he could gauge. In arguing, too, the parson owned his skill, For cen though vanquished, he could ara
 que still; While words of learned length and thun-
 dering sound Amazed the gazing rustics ranged around: And still they gazed, and still the wonder
 grew, That one small head could carry all he
 knew.
 But past is all his fame. The very spot Where many a time he triumphed is forgot.

Still Fighting Add'cks
, Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 Though Gasman Addicks won his fight before Mir. Hannas National Committee at Philadelphia, it appears that he still has an abundance of trouble on his hands in Delaware. Announcement is made that the anti-Addicks Republican State Con- mittee which was named by the last Re- publican State Convention will meet this week to organize for the campaign. The call for the meeting Is taken to mean that the Dupont men will keep up their organ ization despite the recognition or Addicks by MT. Hanna and MT. Mckinley, and that they will bitterly contest the field with the gas man. With such a prospect the Democrats are very we'll satisfied as to Delaware The state unquestionably will swing into line for Bryan this year.

United States may count as many IN
the same time if every threatened re-
volt and encounter with Indians is to
be considered. Less than a dozen
struggles with the dimensions of real
war have b1otted the pages of English
history between 1887 and 1900. The
Afghanistan conflict, continued at in
terva1s for twenty years, was inspired
by Russia. The war with China,
whether right or wrong, found France,
Russia and the United States making
common cause with Great Britain.
The Sikhs trouble was provoked by
90, 900 Sikhs crossing the British
boundary and invading British terri
tory. The Indian mutiny was most
massive revolt, it involved the siege of
Lucknow and the wor1d-famous relief
of the garrison. The Crimean war
was inaugurated by France and Eng
land to prevent the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the Turkish Empire and should have
been concluded before the siege of
Sevastopo1 and the sanguinary battle
of Ba1ak1ava. The Zulu affair must
be laid at the door of the President of
the Transvaa1, it was intended for the
defence of the South African Republic.
In Egypt war was made against Ara bi
Pasha to restore the Khedive authority
and to protect the Suez canal. The
present struggle in South Africa is, so
it has been announced, in defence of
the American principle, mo taxation
without representation, and out of
the fight the Beers should come vic
torious1y, if the general sympathy of
the nations and the c1andestine contri-
buttons of forces and military supplies
will weigh anything in the balance.
Compared with the centuries preced-
ing the coronation of the present
Queen, the last four decades has been
an era of tranquility. The gracious
Empress herself prefers universal har
mony and brother1y love to b1oodshed.
More than once her Cabinets and Par
1iaments have submitted to her pacific
wishes and purposes. Victoria's reign
on the whole, and altogether from the
viewpoint of her own wishes, has full
filled the prediction of that Bard and
Seer who lived during the sovereignty
of Anne and proclaimed that
First shall come the Georges,
Then William then maiden reign
And England shall be at peace again
