KEAPFF WANTED PROPER SALUTE
Entitled to n Thirteen Instead of mn
 Eleven-Gun Salute.

London, July 24.-The Globes naval correspondent at Taku writes: 'Ad
 miral Kempff has raised storm in a teacup on the salute question. He Is second in command of the station and thus entitled to eleven guns as rear ad- miral, and this was recently given him by the Endymion at Yokohama. He claimed thirteen guns, stating that no American admiral got eleven guns, the values being: Admiral seventeen, vice admiral fifteen and rear admiral thir- teen. Having just been created an ad- miral, Kempff evidently thought out the solution in pure ignorance. To his pro- test Rear Admiral Kempff was inform ed that the captain of the Endymion would give him as many guns as he wanted, if there was sufficient powder on the ship, but until they published their regulations we had to go by ours The Orlando British armored ship) ar rived at Taku knew nothing of this squabble, and rubbed 1t in by saluting the Chinese rear admiral with thirteen guns, then the Russian rear admiral with thirteen and then the United States rear admiral with eleven guns. Whether distance made 1t difficult for them to distinguish the number, or delicate hint was intended the Newark had the good taste to return thirteen"

 James Fletcher of Knox county tes- tifed that he heard John Powers say in December: Taylor has been elected governor and if any effort is made to count him out Goebel will never be seated"
 John F. Dazier of Knox county tes- tiled that he heard Charles Finley, then secretary of state, tell Caleb Pow CTS early in December that he would leave a shotgun loaded with buckshot in the office of the secretary of state and advised Powers to use it.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
4 NEyV ELEMENT ENTERS INTO I'll F
 CAMPAIGN.
General Burlington, With Ills Rho- desfnn Force, Has His First Fight- The Roer Position on selous Hive
 Carried OH Monday After q Sharp A H.
gagem

London, July 25.-A new element has entered into the South African cam pafgn with receipt of news that General Darlington, with his Rhodesian force, has had his first fight, attacking the Boers and carrying their position on Selous river Monday, after a sharp en- gagement. General Darlington lost four killed and nineteen wounded.
 Nothing definite had been heard of General. Carringtons force until the above news came. A great part of this force was sent over the Biera railroad in Portuguese East Africa at about the same time that the flying relief col umn started for Mafeking. President Kruger made a strong protest to Portu- gal against the transportation of British troops across Portuguese territory but it developed that Great Britain had such right through treaty.
 How General Darlington mobilized his troops and the route of their march is still unknown but the object of the expedition is said to be to cut off the retreat of the Boers north.

CHINA,s WISH TOR MEDIATION.
Its Interpretation fin London-An Inter
 view With Li Hung Chnng.

London, July 25.-4 a. m.--Requests for mediation addressed to foreign pow CTS are interpreted here to be prepara- tion for the acceptance of foreign aid to repress the rebellion, and Ii Hung Chang's statement that he could restore order with 10000 white troops is looked upon as a subtle argument in favor of appointing him to the command of the allied forces to the exclusion of Jap anese.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Times telegraphing Monday says: Tn an interview with Lii Hung Chang reit- erated his statement that if the Man. chu party had been guilty of the hor- rible treachery involved in a massacre of the members oe the legations he would absolutely refuse to attempt to neg tiate. He said the present intention of the Tsung Iii Yamen was to memo rialize the dowager empress to revictual the legations and then to arrange to send them to Tien Tsin under the es- cert of General Sun Wad Lin. He de- clared that the fighting had ceased and that the foreign troops were holding a position south of the Yu Ho bridge, while General Tung Fun Saing's forces were on the north.
 Earl Iii expressed the intention to wait for news of the movement of the foreign legations before proceeding northward. On receiving this he will be escorted by 10000 troops, who are now mastering in this province.
 Regarding the negotiations he said he believed China's finances would de- bar her from paying indemnity and that the people would never submit to fur ther annexations of territory He thinks the powers ought to accept assurances of reformed administra ton and of the removal of the officials responsible for the crisis
 Obviously Ii Hung Chang has not changed his views or his methods, while the puerility of his arguments is in- creasing with age. The impression is gaining ground here that the Manchs are temporarizing while preparing to retreat to Hsian Flu, confidential member of his staff says that Earl Ii

Ryan and Root Draw.

Chicago, July 24.-Tomny Ryan of Syracuse and Jack Root of Chicago fought draw at TattersalpS tonight. Neither had any marked advantage during the six rounds, although Ryan sent Root to the floor in the first round with a righ hook to the jaw. Root ev- ened matters up in the next round with several heavy right swings to Ryan's ear that brought the blood in streams. After that the contest appeared more like sparring exhibition than fight, and the 5000 spectators gave vent to their disapprova) in cries of flake" and take them off"

Boston, July 24.-According to Presi- dent William Bliss of the Boston and Albany railroad, the formal transfer of that company to the New York Central under the terms of the recently approv- ed lease is not likely to occur much be- fore October 1. The failure of the leg islature to approve the lease before July brings up certain legal questions that will require to be adjusted before the transfer can take place. President Bliss said to-day:
 This will necessitate consultation of the counsel of both roads, and, the counsel of the New York Central being away, we will have to vail until he re- turns. I am unable to set q definite date for the transfer, but l do not see how it can take place much before De- tober 1. When the New York Central takes our property over it will take it as of July 1, and it will be entitled to all earnings of the Boston and Albany after that date.'

 The elevator was owned by the Amer ican Linseed Oil company which came into possession of the building only a few weeks ago. The works are stuat- ed within one hundred feet of the burn ed elevator.
