THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

Admiral Kempff, in command of the
the American forces at Taku, has sent
dispatch to the Navy Department
saying that Tientsin is being lombard
ed and tina, the american Consulate
and foreign concessions are being des
troyed." This is taken to mean that
the attacking force is Chinese. Boxers,
1t is said, have no artillery and the at
lacking force must, therefore, be Chi
nese troops. The opinion is expressed
in London and elsewhere in Europe
that il such is the case the situation is
growing worse instead OF better Wash
ington authorities do not seem to share
this feeling of alarm. Admiral Kempf
also said that relief force, including
100 Americans, was on its way to Tien-
tsin.
A story coming through Berlin and
Shanghai tends to confirm the report
that Admiral Seymour has reached Pc
kin.
Admiral Bruce has informed the Brit.
ish Foreign Office that nothing has been
heard at Taku from Seymour for seven
days nor from Tientsin for five days.
This does not agree with Kempf's dis
patch.
Japan ia preparing division of her
army for active service in China and
threatens to operate alone.
The French Minister of Foreign Al

age representing the supreme power
ought not to be replaced. The only
policy which avoids dangerous ques-
ton is the reestablishment OF the status
quo, which should be better assured.

Jealous Man Kills His Chum.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 22.-George
YAM gave himself up at police sta
ton yesterday, saying: "I've shot and
killed my chum, George .Goehring."
GoehriDg was 20 years old and married.
He did not return to the machine room
at the Winchester armory yesterday
afternoon and YAM, who was suspicious
of the absent mau, quit work at 4
o'clock, going direct to his home. He
asked his mother-in-lsw, Mrs. Shea,
where his wife was. "Out in the garden,
picking berries" replied Mrs. Shea.
YAM went out, but soon came back,
took q Winchester rifle and started on
q run for the garden. "For heavens
sake, don't harm Kittit!' called the
mother-in-lsw in alarm. A shot rang
out and Goehring fell, the bullet enter
ing his brain through his mouth. YAM
declares that when he went out
he discovered his wife and Goehring
together. He did not know, be says,
that it was his chum until after he shot.
Yanz's sister is school teacher 10 this
CITY and his family is well and favorsbly

THE FARCE WELL PLAYED.

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp.
shire, says that Governor Roosevelt
knew all along that he was to 90 or
the ticket % Vice President and mere
ly wanted to have the nomination made
10 dramatic style.
The story OF the gross deception
which was imposed upon the public
and delegates alike is thus tersely told
by the Senator from New Hampshire.
Roosevelt was candidate for Vice
President two years ago, and. more
over, believed that he would be chosen
by the convention that sdjour led yes
terdsy afternoon. He was q candidate
for the nomination when he consented
to be delega,e-at-large from New
York. He began to use a spur on the
delegates when he appeared In the ho-
tel Hobbies and on the streets wearing q
Rough Rider campaign hat.
Roosevelt was willing to be President
II the fstes were kind, and determined
to be Vice President under other cir.
cumstances. He played his part like o
consummate actor.

Big Fire.

PIttsburg, Pa, June 22.-At 1:3O
o'clock this afternoon fire broke out 10
the rear of the extensive printing estab-
ishment of Eichbaum & Co., on Fifth
avenue. In less than 10 minutes the
entire five story building was in flames
and the fire communicated with the ad-
jennings buildings on Fifth avenue and
Wood street. Every fire engine in the
city is on the scene. The excitement
10 the business part of the city is at
high tension. The upper floors of tie
Hussey building adjoining Eichbaum's,
on the south, are now burning.
The rear of the buildings on Wood
street, occupied by the Baltimore &
Ohio ticket Off oe, Bennett & Co., Paul
SOD, Kaercher, U. S. Express Company,
and Joseph Weldon, are burning, as Is
also the rear of Exchange National
Bank, and Pistt's restaurant on Fifth
avenue. A large section Of the rear
wall of the towering Weldon building
fell outward and upon the roofs of adj
joining buildings. All of the occupants
of these buildings had been warned,
and so far as is known, no one was in
jured. The fremen have succeeded 10
quenching the flames in the rear of the
buildings which front on Wood street.
and, it is believed the fire will be con-
fined to its present limits.
At 2:30 p. 10. the fire was believed to
be under control. The flames are yet
furious within the Elchbsum building
which with the contents will be total
loss. The two upper floors Of the Hus-
sey building, adjoining Eichbaum's, is
yet on fire and may extend through
that magnificent structure. Estimates
place tho losses as already suffered at
about 81, 000,0C0.

GILLIGAN,S TRIAL.

The morning session Of the Gilligan
trial at Isle of Wight court house yes
terday was consumed 10 the uninterest.
ing work of arguing the instructions to
the Jury. Colonel Boykin and Judge
Hinton enlivened the afternoon session
by coming to blows, and were put un-
der bonds by the court.
The jury decided not to accept the
courts offer to visit the scene of the
tragedy. They have pretty accurate
knowledge of tine surroundings. and
did not care to take the fourteen mile
drive there and back.
Col. Boykiu declared that the jury
should 60 out during the argument Of
instructions. The jury was taken out
and the lawyers consulted. 1t was
agreed that the side which objected to
the others instructions should nave the
opening and closing. Colonel Boykin
read the state instructions. Colonel
Baker read the instructions for the de-
Tense. Nearly ell OF the instructions Of
fered by the prosecution we're obj scted
to and the defense moved to have theirs
substituted.
The defense read sixteen instruc-
tons, seven of which the prosecution
opposed. The principal argument
came on the instruction requested by
the prosecution, which provides that
the defendant must show that the hon.
icide was necessity to save his ewn
life, and that this necessity must have
come from no misconduct of his own,
and that he fairly declined an encount-
er or ret-eated as far as possible before
the homicide happened.
With this there was coupled another
instruction to the effect that If Gilligan
was upon the premises with shotgun,
compromisingly caressing the daughter
of Mr.. Turner, being aware that Mr..
Turner would seriously object, and
that Turner did come upon them and
was killed by Gilligan, then he could
not plead self-defense.
TIE defense has instructions meant
to cover the same points. Mr.. Holland
commended that man who voluntarily
trespasssd, and added the very grave
insult of compromisingly caressing fe-
male child, put himself beyond the pale
OF self-defense. He should not be ex-
cused by any human or divine law.
He held that this proposition ought TO

what he had striven for from the nrs'.
He had had the Presidency in his head

New York, June 22.-Dr. Leonard,

"Tien Tsin bombsrded. Pekin very

suuboat Nashville brings the news that

Tuesday by the Chinese under General
Mich. The defence force consisted OF
800 Americans, 1000 Germans and 300
British troops together with many
Japanese and Russians.
1t was impossible to estimate the
Chinese who, however, were surprising
ly numerous and well armed.
They had some modern artillery.
The result of the attack is not known
but the sufferings of the foreigners were
intense, they were cooped within a
square mile without much food and 10
broiling heat. Many hundreds of
women and children were there.
The Nashville further reports the abandon
ment of the Tong-Shan mines. The boxers
flooded the mines and smashed the machine
ry. The works were utterly ruined.
