FOR AMERICAN ENGINEERS.
Londonors Banquet Their Scientific
Western Brethren.

London, June 28-Nearly 100 Ameri-
can engineers were guests last evening
at a dinner of the Institution of Me-
chanical Engineers, the occasion being
the annual banquet Of that organiza-
ton. Ambassador Choate responded
to the toast To the Health of Ameri-
cans. Referring to the benefits of in
ternational courtesies, Mr.. Choate said:
"All we want is to know each other
better, and the more we know of one
another the better we will like one an
other. I believe, as the time rolls on,
these thousand ties Of mutual Interests.
these threads of the great international
skein which binds the two peoples, will
come even closer, always making for
peace and civilization, until the peoples
are knit together by subtle, impercept-
ib1e strength. We have lived eighty
five years in peace, and we may we'll
look forward to another eighty-five
years of peace" Rear Admiral Will
son, comptroller of the navy and lord
commissioner of the admiralty, elected
hearty applause by remarking that the
United States navy was holding its own
in Chinese waters, and he was sure
British sailors would do all they could.
A remarkable feature was tie hostile
reception given Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood,
who endeavored to make a general de-
tense Of the conduct of the war in south
Africa by the war office, but was fire.
quently interrupted The superiority
of American engineering was the prin-
cipal topic Of the evening.

PERSONALITIES.

Baron Hayashi, the new japanese
minister to the court of st. James, who
will arrive in London July 1, is said TO
be a typical representative of modern
and progressive Japan, while he holds
the confidence of the conservatives as
well. He began his public career n
the department of public works, and
was then transferred to the foreign
office, where he rose to the rank OF
vice-minister. He will be specially
welcome in London, on account of his
intimate knowledge Of Russian affas.s
in China.

London, June 2S.-The composite
brigade of 1900 men who raised the
investment of Tien Tsin and pusned
IN tn help Admiral Seymour has prob
ablv saved him, but the news has not
reached Chefoo, the nearest wire point.
The last steamer arriving at CheIoo
from Taku brought this message dateo
Tien Tsin, June %: "The Russian
general in command of the relief force
had decided in view of Saturdays and
Sundays fighting and marching that d
davis rest for the troops was essential
and that the advance should not De re-
sumed until today. Meanwhile came
Sevmour's heliograph that his position
was desperate and that he could only
hold out two days. The relief started
at dawn today (Monday). Saturday
fighting began at daybreak. The al
lied forces opened with several terrible
naval guns and field guns and numer-
Gus machine guns, the firing being at
long range. They continued the ad-
vance steadily, the Chinese artillery
renlying. The guns of the allies were
more skiIlfully handled and put the
guns of the Chinese out OF action one
bv one, the Chinese retreating about
noon.
There was keen rivalry among the
representatives of the various natlons
as to which should enter
Tien Tsin first; and the Americans
and British went in neck
and neck. The russians stormed the
arsenal, thereby sustaining the largest
losses. Several thousand japanese left
Taku for Tien Tsin and altogether l3,-
600 japanese have landed. The inter
national troops now aggregate 100000
and Japan is preparing to send 2O,OOo
more With the British, American
and other troops ordered to go probab-
" 10000 men will be available in
month. Foreign engineers at Chez
Foo estimate the Chinese troops now ID
the field as 25,Ovv drilled troops at
Lutai, %, 600 at Shang Hal Wan. To-
600 driven off from Fien Tsin, and 49,
600 at Pekin. All students at the for
eign hospitals of Canton are leaving.
Women missionaries are returning
from the west river ports.
According to advices from
Shanghai, Chinese officials by
direction of the southern
viceroys are asking the consuls to agree
to conditions ensuring the neutrality
of Shanghai and other coast cities,
They also are asking that foreign war
ships shall not sail or anchor near forts
nor go to ports where there are no war
ships now; that their crews shall not
go ashore and that the protection OF
foreigners be left to Chinese author
tiles. These conditions are considered
at Shanghai to be virtually ultimatum
from the viceroys. The consuls desire
a sufficient naval and military force to
back up their refusal to comply with
these military demands. The total
naval force there now consists of 969
men with 80 guns. The Chinese have
5000 men with guns in the forts and
10000 men outside of Shanghai with
modern rifles and machine guns. The
magnitude of arrangements Japan is
making suggests a provision against
contingencies other than the suppress
sion of present disturbances in China.
She has chartered 10 additional trans
ports and now has 35 in all.

There is an amusing story about WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, -Who
cannot feel very funny at present.
When he was at the Mardi Gras festiv-
tiles at New Orleans he obliged an
autograph hunter by writing some
thing on the bores cuff. That part of
the cuff the recipient cut out and put
into his pocket-book, and has since
been showing it to Chinese laundry
men, who all agree that they cant
make him out" but at the same time
fall into spasms of merriment as they
look at it. Evidently WI Ting Fang
is humorist.

Mrs. Flora Annie Steel, whose new
novel of life in India, Voices in the
Night, has Just appeared, is said to re-
ceive the highest price for her literary
work that has ever been paid a woman,
though Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
and few others have been very hand
some1y paid. Mrs. Steel is very
faithful and conscientious worker, who
earns all she gets. When she was writ
ing On the Face of the Waters, she went
back to India for material, in spite
of the fact that she had lived there for
over 20 years. She took a temporary
home in a native village, and lived with
neither servant nor companion, in this
way quickly gaining the confidence Of
the village folk On many points of
Indian life her knowledge is much full
Ter and more intimate than Mr.. Kip
ling's, though it must be said that her
knowledge of details seem sometimes
to cucumber the flow of her stories.

that a baron of the great and historic

and ranged from II degrees along the
northern counties. The highest tenn
peratures occurred generally toward
the end of the week. Rains of a gen
eral character occurred on Wednesday
and Thursday in nearly all parts Of the
state, except the extreme northwestern
counties. In Crawford and Vernon
counties the rainfall amounted to about
two inches, while III portions of Jack
son, Waushara and Dane counties the
total rainfall for the week exceeded
one inch. For the remainder of the
central, southern and northeastern
counties the rainfall ranged from one
half to one inch In the northwestern
section of the state the effects of the
drought have been greatly intensified
during the week by the high tempera-
lures and the total absence of rain and
reports from that portion of the state
are discouraging in the extreme. A
destructive hailstorm occurred near
Amherst Junction, Portage county, on
the evening of the 21st, doing con-
siderable damage to crops in that
vicinity The week has been very
favorable for corn, except IN the north
western counties, where the drought
has practically stopped the growth OF
all vegetation. early paintings are
making excellent growth and the
recent rains have proved of great
benefit to the later paintings, which
are now making very satisfactory
progress. Fields are generally clear OF
weeds Winter wheat and rye are
beginning to ripen and harvesting has
commenced in some of the southern
counties In some locauLies the straw
is too short for binding and mower
will be used for cutting. These crops
will be light. Oats and barley in the
northwestern counties are reported
almost a total loss and some farmers
have turned stock into the fields The
rains in other portions of the state
have improved the prospect, although
the straw is reported very short,
especially on the upland soil. The
rains come too late to be of material
benefit to the hay crop, which is very
light in all parts of the state. Pastures
have been improved by the rains but
are generally not in satisfactory con-
dition. In sections where the drought
is severe farmers are selling stock on
account Of lack of feed. Early plant
ings of potatoes are doing well and late
paintings have been improved by the
rains. Small fruit have been seriously
injured by the drought, especially
strawberries. Grapes are reported
light, while apples and plums promise
we'll.
