Who hinched not under fire
But faced the rain of bullets,
Brave-hearted as his sire

Who in her Boys can see
Such earneft for her future,
Such glorious prophecy
God bless the little Captain,
And make his shoulders strong,
For the epaulets OF duty,
Which they must wear ere long.

communication with Pekin, 1t Is expected
that some days must elapse bfore an an

position to grant all reasonable time for
this transmission.
GOODNOW DID NOT PROTEST.
Late in the day the state department
received an important dispatch from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
announcing the landing of British troops
at that point. The consul general did
not state that he had protested against
this action, and the state department
judged from this that no protest would
have been made by him in the absence
OF instructions. He stated, however, that
the merchants of the city strongly disap-
proved of the landing of the British
troops, fearing that it would incite the
anti-foretgn Chinese to hostilities. The
government at Washington has taken no
action in the nature Of protest, and Il
is stated officially that no such action
will be taken. On the contrary, the
United States government recognizes the
right of any power to protect its citizens
or their interests when they are supposed
to be In jeopardy. AS indicative of this
policy, it Is stated in the highest official
quarters that if the United States citizens
at Annoy, China, were reported to be III
danger this government would maintain
its right to promptly send an armed
force for their protection. This right of
protection claimed by the United States
is conceded to be open to all powers alike
At the same time the state department
recognizes that there Is a question Of
wisdom involved in this particular land
ing Of troops. AS to whether our gov
eminent would express any doubt upon
the wisdom of the movement, the Off
Gals positively decline to say.
SITUATION IS IMPROVING.
Secretary Root regards the situation
both from military and diplomatic point
of view, as much improved. Tho prom,
lse of cipher communication with tile
ministers in Pekin, together with the adj
vance OF the International forces toward
that city, Is believed to have co-relatlve
significance. 1t is also believed that the
resistance by tlfe Chinese has not been
and will not be so great as anticipated
by some authorities, who said that the
Chinese force consisted of the best OF
their army. The move on Yang Isun is
in accordance with information contain
ed in the dispatch from Gen. Chaffee,
which was not made public, and also in a
dispatch which was made public after
Pietsang had been taken. 1t is the eX-
pectation of the officials Of the war de-
partment that the present reconnaissance
in force will continue although nothing
Is said as coming from Gen. Chaffee to
that effect.

For twenty-five years, or since the

maximum temperature for those five days

The dead are: Mrs. P. W. Pike, Of

The four deaths today make a total Of
seventeen due directly to the heat, It
Is estimated that over one hundred

FASTENED by the weather of this week.
The prolonged heat Is having a serious
effect on business. All of those who can
leave thu city for points along the lake
shore and in the woods are going, and
many have materially curtailed their

For the week the mortality list has
been mounting with great rapid1ty, the

this latter point, diplomatic negotiations

FALLS FIVE STORIES.
alexander Swan Has a Dangerous
Experience.

Alexander Swan, employed as an ele-
Tator operator in the Edison building,
fell five stories through the shaft yester-
day morning, and only escaped death by
striking a thin roofing on the ground
floor. He had been employed running. the
freight elevator until few days ago, the
regular passenger conductor left, when
he took mis- place. He had run the ele-
Sator up to the fifth floor yesterday morn
ing and had stepped out, leaving the
door open. Just how the accident hap
pened Swan cannot say, but It Is judged
that he stepped back supposing the els-
yator was where he had left it. The ele-
Fator had risen of its own accord, and
Swan fell, striking tAe roofing with great
force. He crushed through it in such
manner that it was necessary to saw him
out.
He was taken to the city hospital, where
for time it was thought that his injuries
were fatal. He sustained a fracture of
the right shoulder and many cuts on his
head. Last night he was resting easy.
There was some mystery attached to
the occurrence, as the elevator door
through which Swan fell was taken from
the hinges towards the inside. Swan said
last night that as he felt himself falling
he grabbed the door, which stayed his
fall for a moment but gave way.
He Is thirty years old and resides at SIS
