HOPE STILL HIGH
Lingering Belief that Ministers
at Pekin Live.
WIRE HOLDING OUT ON JULY 9TH
Nothing Accurate known Many Re-
ports From Pekin That are Contra
dictory-Boxers Assault on Tien
TsIn Continues Unabated.

A dispatch from London, England,
dated July o. SAYS: The foreign con
suls Mt shanghai met on July : and
officially announced that the legations
at pckin were safe July 4. The fore
going statement, read with Consul
Warrcn's dispatch to the foreign Office
on Saturday, makes il possible to be-
licvc that the legations will hold out
for u number of days yet. Having
fought To n standstill the first out
bursts of fanatical fury, it is believe
able that something may intervene to
save them. The news, after the sinis-
ter rumors of the last ten days, Is
enough upon which to build up hopes.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Express, tclcgraphing on sunday at
$40 p. m. however, throws doubt upon
Consul Warrcn's information. He
says:
Tao Tai Shcng now admits there
was an error in his communication to
General Warren. The date of the
couricr's arrival at Chincn Flu was
July 3, which does not apply To his de-
parturc from rckin. The journey from
Pekin To Chinen Flu occupies five days.
The courier, therefore, could not have
left Pekin later than June % The date
of the massacre there, as given by Chi
nese reports, was June 80 or July /.
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed.
Disorders in the provinces appear to
be increasing.
The foreign settlement at Che Foo
Is at the mercy of two Chinese forts
equipped with Krupp guns.
The provisional government at Pekin
appears tn have designs upon the south
ern provinces.
Refugees from Ticn Tsin arriving at
Shanghi say only five civil foreign
crs were killed daring the long Chinese
bombardment.
The allies at Ticn Tsin are short of
provisions and suffer considerably from
%"sniping."
Lhe correspondents at Shanghai say
that a combined Sorcc of Russians and
Japanese have left Ticn Tsin, follow
ing the railway as far as Lang Fang.
and have thence swept swiftly To the
west, attacking the Chinese eighteen
miles north of Ticn Tsin and killing
1000 of them.

MOVES FOR COLE COAST
Governor OF West African Colony OUT
generals the NRtiNes.

The London colonial Office has re-
ceivcd a dispatch from the governor Of
the Gold Coast colony, Sir Frederick
Mitchell llodgson, dated Atekwauta,
June 20, saying that owing to the non
arrival of the relief column and the
reduction OF the food supply he had
decided to push through the rebels and
deceived the enemy regarding the
route followed, The column suffered
great privations, but the loss was only
six men killed and several wounded.
Governor Hodgson expressed the hope
of reaching the Gold Coast in tea days.
He added that the suffering at Ku-
massi was terrible, the mortality from
starvation being thirty persons daily.
The column of the governor numbers
400 and includes all the Europeans,
among them being the members Of the
Basel mission.

RUN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
Train on Grand Trunk Wrecked Near
Lansing

A La ing, Mich, July 0 dispatch
says: The Grand Trunk and Lehigh
express, composed of three coaches,
four slcepcrs and the baggage and ex-
press ears, which vas due here at 0:35,
was wrecked one mile west of the sta
ton last night. A number of the pas
sengers were badly shaken up, but no
one received serious injuries. The
train, which was heavily loaded with
eastern delegates returning from the
Kansas City convention and western
delegates en- route to the convention of
the grand lodge Il. =. Il. at Atlantic
City, was behind time and running
through the yards at high speed, when
a switch suddenly opened. Two of the
day coaches and the four slcepcrs were
derailed, the day coaches tipping over.
That all the passengers escaped scri-
Gus injury or death is almost miracu.

THEY ACCEPT AMNESTY
Filipino Insurgents steadily Failing
Into Line.

A Manila, July 9 telegram says: The
past weeks scouting in Luzon resulted
in eleven Americans being killed and
sixteen wounded. One hundred and
sixty FilipinoS were killed during the
week and eight Americans who had
been prisoners in the hands of the req
els were surrendered and u hundred
rifles were turned over to the United
States officials.
The enemy ambushcd IA wagon train
between Indang and Naic. The Third
infantry lost nine men while on an cX-
petition to punish the Ladrones in the
delta of the Rio Grandc.
In the Antigua province of Panay a
running fight of three hours duration
resulted in the killing Or wounding OF
seventy of the enemy. There were no
casualties among the Americans.
The insurgents are slowly accepting
the amnesty provisions. In some in
stances the Americans are ~suspcnding
operations in order to give the rebels
an opportunity to take advantage OF
the decree.

Writing In Date

There are two ways of writing tho
date in abbreviated form, viz, $4,000.
and 10000. 1t is impossible to say
that one form is correct and the other
wrong, for both are in common use.
The latter is the one more commonly
used in Great Britain, while the form
err is perhaps more distinctively Am
erican. To our mind the latter Is to
be preferred as it gives the day of the
month, the month of the year and the
year in consecutive order, which seems
more natural han to give first the
month, and then the day of the month.
1t is, however, largely a matter OF
taste, and, as we have said, both forms
are correct.

LANDING IN DURBAN
The Passengers Escape from the ship In
a Basket.

A novel method of leaving a steam
er is in vogue at Durham. in Natal
The originality of the method arises
from The peculiar character of the bay.
which IA long. land-locked lagoon, con-
nected with the open sea by a narrow
channel which flows between two
breakwaters intended to prevent the
formation OF the bar, and so to main
tain free access for ships into the har-
Dor. That bar is the battle-ground of
political parties in Natal. The bishop
of Natal, writing in Good Words, ex-
plains that politics turn more on pro-
posals for fighting the bar than on any
policy. In the meantime the bar holds
it's own, and the mail steamers are too
big to get into the harbor. The out
side anchorage is a rough and restless
place. and nine days out of ten, tugs
are afraid to lie alongside a gangway.
Thus it happens that passengers are
driven to the alternative of escaping
from the ship by the same method by
which st. Paul escaped from
cus-in a basket. I'VE owe gratitude.
however, to the Empress Eugene,
says the bishop, for since the day
that she came to Natal on her sad err
rand. the basket has increased its d.
mensions. 1t is, in fact, almost as
large as the elevator in a London man
sion, affording room for three or
four people to sit or stand" In this
commodious receptacle the passengers
are hauled aloft by a steam crane, and
dropped with much care and precision
into the tug lying alongside. The
sensation of swinging aloft and drop
ping into that heaving tug must be
anything but pleasant. The shore
gained, the visitor to Durham has a
chance of making the acquaintance OF
the Natal rickshaw boy, who will gal
lop him up to the Royal Hotel in
good style. These Zulu boys are good
specimens of their race-a race Of
children. They nave tremendous spir-
its. They would think it very tame to
wait their turn for a fare, like the
London cabmen. When a traveller
comes out of the hotel there is a wild
charge of r~ickshaws across the street.
The boys enjoy the race and shout n
leap into the air. The dress of the
rickshaw boy is a picturesque medley.
1t is a common thing to see II wear
ing the discarded tunic OF a private
of an old English line regiment, his
head covered with a child's or a lady's
straw hat, ornamented with tags OF
lace and tied with a ribbon unde the
chin. Others affect the ferocious style
and adorn themselves with enormous
feathers and a pair Of cows horns tied
to their heads.-Youths' Companion.

The earliest records of solar eclipSeS

alarming appearance stopped a bat

Formerly eclipses of the sun created
terror among the beholders, and even
today educated and intelligent people
express a dread of the solemn and i'm

II may be possible to detect strange
waving lines of light and shade draw
