Boxers Are Said to Have Adopted TugeIa
Tactics and After Several Hours

WILL STOP THE MARCH TO PEKIN
BY USING MINISTER'S AS HOSTAGES S
TWELVE HUNDRED ALLIES
KILLED And MURDERED

Washington, Aug. THE announce
ment received through Admiral Re-
mey and Commander Taussig Of re-
ported heavy fighting on the road be-
yond Tien Tsin was the news of inter-
est in the Chinese situation yesterday.
Little doubt was expressed at the navy
department that the news was sub
stantially correct. II is probable that
a later report may reduce the list of
casualties among the international
forces, but il is evident that the move
on Pekin is at last fairly under way,
and that strong opposition has been en-
cOuntered The first dispatch. received
from Commander Taussig, Of the York
town, was dated Chefoo. Aug. G. and
was as follows:
British Fame reports. unofficial, en-
gagement at Peitsang Sunday morning.
to 1890 Allied loss. killed and
wounded. 1,200, chiefly Russians and
Japanese. Chinese retroating."
The dispatch from Admiral Remoy,
also dated Cheloo, follows:
Unofficial report believed reliable.
About 10000 allies heavily engaged
Chinese at Peitsang daylight of the
9Th"
Peitsang is the first railroad station
about eight miles northwest Of Tien
Tsin. on the way to Pekin
Opinion among the various officials
now in Washington is somewhat di-
vided as to Just what is presaged by
yesterdays events. The more optim-
istic are inclined to think that such o
severe blow as the Chinese must have
received at Peitsang will result in the
speedy disintegration of the forces now
opposing the march Of the interna tionai
column. In line with this prediction It
was protested that the Chinese gov
ernment would find means to send the
ministers from Pekin under escort, and
thus stave off the advance upon the
capital On the other hand there were
a number of officers, in a position 10
judge equally well, who held that the
fight at Peitsang was only the begin
ming of a strenuous resistance that
would be continued to the gates Of
PeSin or beyond. 1t was urged in sup
port of this view that the Chinese had
a hundred men to lose against one of
the allies; that they were all well
armed with modern guns and had ap-
parently an abundance of ammunition.
1t is stated that a considerable APP
prehension exists among those conver-
SAINT with Oriental affairs at the re-
appearance in Pekin politics of that
rabid anti-foreign fanatic, Ii Ping
Hung. It is understood that his ap-
pearance in Pel1in affairs may have
had something to do with the Shanghai
rumors of Ii Hung Chang's suicide. Il
is certain that, Ii Ping Hung and
Prince Tuan in control of the de factC
government in China, a religious waI
of dervish like fanaticlsm probably will
be waged against all foreigners, and
friends of the more liberal Chinese
statesmen are exceedingly anxious as

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. THE market is
still largely under the influence of the
election, and it is not expected that
buyers and sellers of dry goods will
settle down to actual business much
before next week. Travelling repre-
sentatives are starting out for their
respective territories, and returns
should be forthcoming before long.
In the meantime prices remain at an
unchanged level, with stocks in good
condition.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. THE cotton mar
ket today opened easy at a decline of
from to points. Favorable weather
and fairly full receipts, with no par
ticular promise of frost in the near
future, offset the early foreign news,
and when later cables showed weak
ness the local market became quite
unsettled and the decline was in
creased to from 10 to 16 points, as
compared with the closing figures of
Monday. Private cables stated that
the English cotton trade had discount
ed the election results. Later in the
day the market became very dull,
with dealings mostly local. 1t was re-
ported that cotton was still being
matured and picked in important
parts of the South. The market closed
steady at a net loss of from 13 to 16
points.
