regarding the State Convention Of the Ad-

of a man setting up a ticket for a poIiti-
cal convention and then ordering that

gusted with the Dover exhibition
1T seems certainly like an effort to
change the directors of the Bay State
Gas Company from the pay roll OF that
company to the pay roll of the State of

attorney are placed upon the ticket by the

NOT IN THE FIGHT,
ChafFee Reports Americans Reached
Peftsang Too Late.

The following message from Admiral
Remey was received today by the Bureau
of Navigation:
"chefoo, Aug. 8.

"Taku 9Th. Chahse reports that
Japanese took Peitsang on the morn

fore Americans could arrive. Move
ment probably continued TO Yangtsun.
Inform Secretary Of War. REMEY.'
The message is the first one yet received
from Chaffee touching the engagemnt at
Pettsang on Sunday morning. 1t upsets all
previous calculations by announcing that
the Americans were not present IN the
battle. Previous reports from unofficial
sources had indicated that the Ninth and
the Fourteenth Infantry with the Marines
and ReiIly's Light Battery were in the
thick of the fighting. This disproves all of
that
Owing to the fact that two days was TAX

LONDON, Aug S.-The Queens speech
proroguing Parliament today was listened
to with profound interest. 1t was expeCs
ed that the Chinese situation would re.
ceive the greatest share of attention ant
the attitude of the Government thus to BIZ
defined was the subject of much surmise
The belief that Chinese affairs would be
given paramount Importance is seen .tc
have been well founded. The attack on
the legations at Pekin is characterized as
an unexampled crime and the probability
that the Chinese Government is an accom-
plice of the ''insurgent mob" is suggested.
The war with the Beers is said to have
been marked in many parts by brilliant
skill, and the "heroism and high military
qualities Of the troops are praised.
The policy of the Government regarding
the future Of South Africa is outlined when
it is said that the annexation of the Orange
Free State was made on the belief that The
continued independence of the republics
would be a constant danger to the peace of
Africa.
The text of the speech follows:
My Lords and Gentlemen: Ny re-
cations with the powers OF Europe and
with America continue friendly.
The war in South Africa into which
3ra
sive action of the republics has not yet
reached conclusion, but my armies
have driven back the invaders beyond
the frontiers and they have crossed and
occupied the capitals OF the enemy and
much OF his territory. The operations
which have been conducted for this
purpose in many parts have been mark
ed by brilliant skill and success and
have placed in the strongest light the
heroism and high military qualities of
the troops who have been brought to-
gether from this country, Canada, Aus
tralia, and my African possessions.
believing that the continued polit-
ical independence Of the republics
would be a constant danger to the
peace OF South Africa. authorized the
annexation OF the Orange Free State,
trust this will be the first step to-
ward a union of the races under insti-
tutions which, while establishing from
the outset good and just government
for all, may be In time developed SO
as TO secure equal rights and privi-
leges in my African dominions.
The British and other legations at
Pekin have been unexpectedly attacked
by an insurgent mob and it is feared
that many of the inmates have been
murdered. How far the Chinese au-
thorities are accomplices in this afro
eious crime and whether the British
Minister and his family are among the
victims are still matters of uncertainty.
The utmost effort will be made by my
SELF and my allies to visit with worthy
punishment the authors of this unex-
ampled crime.
We have sent a considerable force
of British Indian troops to assist In
protecting the interests of Europeans
