CONFIDENCE NOT STRONG.
Recent Optimistic Reports from
China ID" Not Serve TO Allay the
AnXicty-l:uttIc at Ticutsin.

London, July 1l.-"No authenti,
news from pekng" is still the burden OF
the dispatches from the far east, and
although the disposition is to believe
the optimistic reports from Chinese
sources, no real confidence is possible
until the legations, if they are still in
existence, arc permitted to communi.
cate with their governments.
at Shanghai ii seems now to be the
general belief that the date of the dis
patch of July 8, asserting that two lc.
cations were still standing, was an
error. either accidental or Intentional.
According TO special Chcfoo dis.
patch. the fighting around Ticntsin on
the 3d and Ath was The scvcrcst vet OK
prrienced. The British losses alone
were 30 killed and wounded. Tie Chi
ncse had $500 men attacking stimuli
tancously from lie west, north and
east, and made excellent practice with
over 100 guns. The defenders num-
bcrrd li,O0O, with scant supplies, and it
was only the presence of the newly ar.
rived Japanese and Russian guns that
prevented Il disaster. One Russian
company of infantry, numbering l20
men had ll5 killed or wounded. The
German contingent also suffered hcav.
ily. by the evening Of the Atl the sit
lation was very critical. The allies
narrowly escaped total defeat. provi-
dcntially when things were ut their
worst, torrcntial rainfall compelled
the Chinese to retire. On July 6, the
rain having nbaied, the Chinese re-
ncwed the attack. opening fire on Tieh-
tsin with two batteries of four-nch
guns. but the allies. aided by two ii. NJ.
S. TcrribIc's ~ guns, succeeded in
siIcncing the Chinese artillery after
eight hours Of fighting.
The Chinese version Of the origin Of
the outbreak. as published in SIlang-
hal. is that Baron Won Kcttclcr was
hated by the Pckingesc, who, taking
advantage Of the condition of affairs,
shot him out Of revenge, thereby caus-
ing a conflict between the Chinese
troops and the Germans, the latter
of whom destroyed the tsung-li-ya-
men. The Infatuated soldiers under
Prince Tnan then gained complete
control over the dOwngcr empress.

BOYCOTT is ON.
Strikers at st. Louis Running Wagons
in Opposition to the Street Cars
Are Well PatrOnized

ST. Louis, July 11.-There seems to
be no interruption to the traffic on
the lines of the St. Louis Transit COM
pany, as the result of the determine
ton of the former employees to resume
striking. The boycott, which hurt
the Transit company considerably
during the recent contest, was on
Tuesday, though not in such force as
formerly, and wagons are again car
rying passengers, especially in the
North and South sides.
Demonstrations against transit cars
and their patrons occurred in various
parts of the city Tuesday night. A boy
was assaulted after he had alishtcd
from Il car. and was stoned into insen-
sibility. Rocks were thrown at a num-
Der of. cars, and in several instances
explosives were placed upon the tracks.
No one was seriously hurt, and the
damage 10 the cars was slight.
All the cars are running as usual
with their full equipment of men, the
company having provided itself with
enough men to man its cars before the
agreement was signed declaring tho
strike off. There is a general feeling
of displcasnrc among the people over
the renewal Of the trouble, and the
sentiment is that il was unnecessary
and should have been avcrtcd.
