cations in Trouble.
SLOW MARCH OF RELIEF COLUMN
Guarding the City's Gates-FoT-
eigners May Seize Taku.

London, June 18.-This is the situa-
tion in China as it appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express, cabling last evening:
lit is really state of veiled war.
The members of the foreign legations
in Pekin are virtually prisoners, ana
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear of the ls-
CATION guards. Meanwhile, the minis
tiers are altogether unable to communi.
cate with the commanders of the relief
column, which is making an enforced
and isolated halt between Tien Tsin
and Pekin. The walls of the capital
are guarded by 100, 900 imperial troops.
The gates are heavily defended with
modern guns. General Tung, acting
under orders from the empress dOwager,
says that no more foreign troops shall
enter the sacred city.
Monday the ministers sent q de-
mand to the Tsung Ii Yamun that the
gates be opened, declaring that other
wise the foreign troops would enter
forcibly. To this no reply was given.
A second message was unanswered, or
had not been answered when the latest
news left Pekin. Sir Claude MacDon.
AIDS latest message says that the lega.
itons are capable of sustaining an effect
i've defense unless attacked in force"
Russia. this correspondent asserts.
Notwithstanding assurances to the con-
trary, sides with China. Some of the
foreign troops are already reported to
be in the environs of Pekin, and the
attitude of the Chinese troops is in
creasingly menacing.

Quarantine Dissolved.

San Francisco, June 18.-In the
United States circuit court, Judge
Morrow rendered a decision in the case
of Jew Ho against the board of health
of this city, dissolving the general
quarantine of Chinatown, enforced by
the board of health, owing to the al
legged existence of plague in this city.
Judge Morrow held that the quarantine
was discriminating in its character.
Regarding the existence of the
plague, Judge Morrow stated that he
was not qualified to pass judicially on
the question, owing to the conflicting
testimony of physicians, but that If 1t
came within his power to decide in the
matter, he would declare that plague
does not, nor has not, existed.
At meeting of the board OF health
this Afternoon the quarantine was de-
clared dissolved.

BEATEN BY REPORTER.


How q Newspaper Man Retaliated for
Insults From q Candidate.
A good story, and one with moral,
is related by a well-known Southern
writer, says the New York Mail and
Express.
''No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out of his way to
offend a newspaper man," he says.
"Some years ago there was very hot
campaign in Georgia for a big Office.
'Tn distant city lived q candidate
who was confident of election. He
was proud and naughty, and thought
only of himself.
"a young newspaper man was de-
tailed by the managing editor to &C.
company the statesman and report his
speeches.
"Now comes the funny part of the
story. The statesman ignored his COM
panion-left him to take care of him.
self-introduced him to nobody-treat-
ed him without any consideration.
''Once when they wese riding in q
buggy through the country they stop
ped at q spring. The statesman cooled
q bottle of wine in the spring and drank
it all, without Offering the journalist
drop.
"Then he helped himself to a cigar
from the valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
Drive onl'he said.
"The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the cold-blooded politician, but
he had his work to do.
"He reported the speeches and cam
paign incidents, but in quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man
read the reports, and was conscious that
something was lacking, but he could
not tell what.
"The newspaper man simply stuck
to the facts and damned the candidate
with faint praise. He left out the ele-
ment of enthusiasm. He was dull, and
deliberately so.
"The candidate was defeated. and he
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with il.
"Of course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. No
mean man ever makes the discovery
that he is mean"

why Launching STONED :.

Vancouver, B. c., June 15.-The
launching of the freight steamer Cham
pion from the marine ways on False
Creek was prevented through a pecu.
liar circumstance. At high tide the
skid on which the vessel was to run
was creased with tallow. When the
steamer was pushed of. however, she
only ran toward the water distance OF
about her own length, and there she
stopped. The sun had 50 heated the
skid that when the tallow was put on
it Immediately melted and soaked
away in the wood. The result was
that the tops of the skid were sticky
and not slippery. A cold-storage device
was arranged for today. so that the
steamer will float out tonight.

Much interest is being shown by the

at present in progress over the bodies

day BY members of the sheriff's posse
oomitatus. The testimony adduced at
todsy's hearing does not deny that
Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick
Bohne, the citizen in question, but the
witnesses disagreed as to the deputy Is
provocation for shooting. There was
testimony from about 35 witnesses,
consuming three hours, after which the
jury returned a verdict of homicide.
A sensational feature of the inquest
was the conflicting statements made by
witnesses as to whether Police Lieu.
tenant Stack ordered the deputy sher-
ifs to fire on the crowd. Several OF
the deputies testified that he ordered
the posse guard to shoot, while Stack
declared he did all in his power to pre-
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was q startling development at
the inquest. 1t is believed that Marsh
has left the city. No further search
will be made for him probably, unless
friends of the dead man seek to prose-
cute him. the verdict of the coroner's
jury being practically an exoneration.
