LONDON. July IS. The news OF
ManchurIa disturbances Is not regard

Amur is the boundary territory be-
tween Eastern Siberia and Manchuria.
The district has been the scene Of local
disturbances for a long time owing to
the provocative conduct Of the Cos
sacks toward $4,000 Chinese employed
IN the construction OF the Russo Man
ehurian railway.
Several collisions have occurred be-
tween the cossacks and Chinese troops.
one happened several weeks ago when
two Russian officers and sixteen men
were killed. The extension OF the Box
er movement to Manchurla has re-
suited In the great destruction Of the
railway, compelling the Russians to
withdraw their officials. The Chinese
tried to stop the Russian steamer Mich
ael, carrying ammunition, and the
steamer Selonga with RUSSIAN IRON
tier commission on board, from pass
ing up the Amur at Aigon.
They fired on the steamers, woundlng
an officer and a few men. The local
commander at Aigon seems to have

following dispatch from its Shanghai
The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city Of Tien
Tsin on the morning OF July II and
succeeded in reaching the walls and
capturing all the forts. The Chinese
were completely routed and the allies
took possession OF the native city and
its defenses.
The total losses of the allies in the
engagement of Thursday. Friday and
Saturday were about 500 killed OF
wounded. The casualties We're greatest
among the Russians and Japanese.
The guns OF the allies did immense
damage to the native city. causing
many large contlagrations. and finally
silenced the majority of the enemys
guns simultaneously. Then 1900 Rus

mans and French. assaulted and cap

on the railway embankment and the
fort. the magazine Of which the French
subsequently blew up. A body OF
American. British. Japanese and Aus
trian troops then made a sortie and at
tackled the west arsenal. which the
Chinese had reoccupied, After four
hours Of the hardest fighting yet ex-
| psrienced. the Chinese fled.
When the arsenal had been evaeuat-
ed by the Chinese. the Americans and
French and Japanese. and the Welsh
Fusiliers, advanced toward the native
city and Joined with the other attack
ing forces. The Japanese infantry
and mounted battery advanced to the
foot of the walls, supported by the
Americans and French. Despite val
liant attacks, the allies were only able
to hold the positions gained outside
the walls preparatory to renewing the
assault in the morning.
The casualties sustained by the allies
were exceedingly heavy, especially
those to Americans. French and Japa-
nese. Several explosions in the native
city were caused by the bombardment.
The Chinese appear to have exhausted
their supply Of smokeless powder. as
they are now using black powder.

hours. Secretary Root gave out the
following formal statement Of the ac-
ton Of the cabinet.
The president has determined that

gress is necessary 70 furnish either men

Energy of the Egyptians Was Devoted
to Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear OF
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
Dreadful initiation into the mysteries
OF the tremendous after life for which
MS present existence was but a prep
aration. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds, ora slab or stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; its whole art
was OF the mortuary. Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
US into the wilderness to die?" asked
the 1sraelites in derision, and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
casm. Egypt is the land of graves, and
the whole energy of the people that
could be spared from keeping life to-
gether was devoted to death. The
m1ght1est tombs in the world-the
pyramids-were raised upon the deaths
OF multitudes of toiling slaves. The
hills were honeycombed passages and
galleries, chambers, pits, all painfully
excavated in honor of the illustrious
dead, and sculptured and painted with
elaborate skill to make them fit habl-
tations for his ghost Wherever he
looked the Egyptian beheld prepara-
t1ons for the great turning point of
existence. The mason was squaring
blocks for the tomb chamber; the pot
ter nodded images of the gods or bowls
or jars, to be placed in the grave for
the protection or refreshment of the
ka, exhausted with the ordeals of the
under world; the sculptor and painter
were at work upon the walls of the
funeral chamber, illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost was
to pass, or depicting the Industrious
life of the departed. The very temples
which cluster along the levels beside
the Nile were in the hills behind The
sacred lake, now the weedy, pictur-
esque hunt Of waterfowl, was then the
scene of solemn ferryings of the dead.
The temple walls were covered with
the terrors of the judgment to come
The houses of the living, indeed, were
built Of perishing mud, but the homes
OF the dead made to the gods who ruled
their fate were made to last forever.
On these all the strength, the science
and the artistic skill OF the ancient
Egyptians were cheerfully lavished.-
