WHAT or THE FUTURRl
Step to he Talken with Ref
erence to China.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Now that the
primary object for which the allied
armies marched upon Picking, Wig, the
rescue Of the besieged legationers, has
been accomplished, the drift Of discus
sion in official and diplomatic circles
reverts to the next step to be taken.
Necessarily many Of the predictions
as to what this will be are purely con-
jectural, as it is realized that com-
plete and definite informatlo regard
ing the condition of affairs in Picking
must be awaited before any positive
action can be taken by the govern
ments whose interests have suffered
as resultzof the Chinese troubles.
The presumption here is that the next
move made will be an agreement for
an <armistice. This may be undertake
en- by the commanders of the Chinese
army and; those of the allies on the
spot where the fighting, according to
the latest reports from Picking, APP
pears still7to be in progress. =.
b This accomplished, the question of
the withdrawal 81. the foreign armies,
the payment of indemnities. and many
other problems may be left to COM
missions duly appointed to adiudicate
them. Ii Hung Chang has already
been appointed a plenipotentiary by
his government to negotiate terms of
peace, and in this capacity he made
an Intellectual attempt to stop. } the
progress of the allies in their march
on Picking. whether Earl Ii will be
continued in that capacity by the i'm
Perial government is not known here,
but such seems altogether probable,
as with his well-known ability and his
acquaintance with the world, he would
be able to make possibly. better terms
than any other Chinaman.,
There are IL nations which have
suffered as result of tie Chinese dis
turbances. All will expect settle
ment of damages which have resulted
from the Boxer outbreaks, the murder
of missionaries, and the destruction of
legation property. Spain is one of
these; although she has not partici-
pated in the relief expedition, she has
suffered alike with the others, and
will expect to be Unidentified for her
losses.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
up to this time there, have been no ex-
changes between the United States
and the other powers regarding the
steps to be taken in the future to
bring China to terms for the losses
that have been incurred. The sole in
terest of the United States up to this
time has been the rescue of the lega-
TONERS, which is now an accomplished
fact. Informal discussion has taken
place between the president and his
cabinet as to what this government
will do to secure reparat;on for losses,
but the conclusions reached are pure
! ly tentative and in no sense definite.

BIG PLANT BURNED.
Factory: of the Kelly Ak Manufactur-
Ing Company, at Alexandria, Ind,
Destroyed-Loss, $500, 600.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 20.-A Senti-
mel special. from Alexandria, Ind,
says: The entire plant of the Kelly
AK Manufacturing company, valued
at 100000, was destroyed by fire Sun
day evening. This was one of the
largest factories in this city and the
largest AK factory in the world, en-
p,oying some 800 or 1000 men when
running at full force. The plant was
operated all year, never stopping more
than one week at a time to take stock.
The company has just enlarged the fac
tory, increasing the output fully one
third. The plant was well insured.
The factory was located north of the
city, outside the corporation, and the
fire department could not render any
assistance. The fire cut of the water
supply of the factory, and left no
means of fighting the flames.
The fire started in the grinding de-
partment of the ak factory. A strong
wind carried the flames to the pump
house and doomed the entire works to
destruction. In a short time the
whole plant, covering ten acres, was
reduced to ashes. 1t was. the, only
plant not in the trusts, was valued al
nearly million dollars, and although
in the hands of q receiver, was ex.
pected to be taken out Of the receivers
hands next January. So far as known
no one was hurt. '''-, ~ -

KILLED HIS FATHER.
Defense to. Shoot Down His
Drunken Father.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2o.-James M.
Burnham, publisher of the Wymoran,
at Wymore, Neb., shot and killed his
father, Capt. Collins A. Burnham, at
their home Sunday. A coroner's jury
Immediately exonerated the son. Both
father and son were prominent political
workers in the county in which they
reside. The killing was in self-defense.
The son gave himself up to the officers.
Sunday morning the father came home
in a delirious state and made an a.
sault upon his son. The father used a
butcher knife, and, after getting his
son in a corner, was in the act of plung-
ing the knife in his body. When there
was no other alternative, the son drew
a revolver and fired shot which went
through the fathers heart, killing him
instantly.

! A letter from Prof. Bernard Moses
to President Wheeler, of the state uni

formation that the United States Phil
ippine commission thinks it advisable
to send over to this country q large
number of bright young natives and
give them an education, SO that they
may 60 back and become instructors
of their people. Prof. Moses says in
part: From observations already
made, am inclined to think that we
shall find among the young people Of
the islands large number of eager
and competent students"

CAPTURES 1900 BRITISH.
ecuted by Gen. De Wet, the
B0er Commander.

Delagoa Bay, Aug. 2o.-Gen. De Wet
has defeated the British and captured
1000 men, according to reports here
from Boer sources. Gen. De Wet,
who is the, Morgan of the war in
the Transvaal, gave Lord Roberts the
slip, escaping from that generals in
Vulnerable traps and succeeding in
effecting q junction with Gen. Delar-
ey. Then he turned suddenly upon
the British and defeated them, cap
turing seven guns and 1000 prisoners.
This successful maneuver on the part
of the Boer general stamps him as
the greatest military leader in South
Africa. Every general in the Brit
ish service had: De, Wet in trap at
one time or another. Kitchener and
Butler had reduced their commands to
a shadow chasing him hundreds of
miles over veldt and kopje, and now
he has not only escaped, but turned
and gave them q terrible blow.
