LONDON, August 9.-The following
report, dated Pretoria, August 8, has

Kitchener was informed yesterday
by an escaped British prisoner that
De Vets wagons had crossed the Vaal.
Afterwards l heard the sound of guns
which, think, most have been Meth
uens, as l directed him to take up a
position between Potuhefstroom and
Lin6ique, where he could intercept the
enemy, who crossed the river at De
Vets drift Kitchener is crossing the
Vaal with cavalry and mounted in
fanrry.
Hunter reports that he made 4,140
prisoners in the Bethlehem-H arri-
smith district, a majority OF whom are
suns and four thousand horses were
captured and ten wagon loads of am
runition and $4,000 rounds of ammu-
niuon were destroyed.
THE garrison of Glands river. which
fear has been captured consisted of
eoout three hundred bushnaen and
Rhodesians. l had hoped that Car

the garrison; but It seems that Del

proach TO Rustenburg, hurried west

TEXT OF THE MESSAGE
Sent by the United States to tia
Chinese Government.

Sent by the United States to the
Chinese Government.
WASHINGTON, August 9.-The State
Department this morning made public
the following memorandum sent yes
day to the Chinese government
through Minister WI:
I'VE are availing ourselves of the OPP
portunity offered by the imperial edict
of the 9Th of August, allowing to the
foreign ministers free communication
with their respective governments in
cipher, and have sent a communication
to Minister Conger, to which we await
an answer.
I'VE are already advised by him, in
q brief despatch received August It'll,
that imperial troops are firing daily
upor the ministers in Pekin. We de-
nland the immediate cessation of hos
tile attacks by imperial troops upon the
legations, and urge the exercise of
every power and energy of the imper-
ial government for the protection of
the legations and all foreigners there
IL.
We are also advised by the same
despatch from Minister Conger that, in
his opinion. for the foreign minister to
leave Peking as proposed in the edict
OF August End, would be certain death.
In view of the fact that the imperial
troops are now firing upon the lega-
tons, and in view of the doubt ex-
pressed by the imperial government
in its edict Of August End, as to its
power to restore order and secure alb
solute safety in Picking, it is evident
that this apprehension is we'll founded.
for if your government cannot protect
cur minister in Picking. it will pre-
srrrptively be unable 70 protect him
upon journey from Peking to the
coast.
We therefore urge upon the imper-
lal government that it shall adopt the
course suggested in the third clause of
the letter of the President to his ma
Jesty the Emperor of China. of July
20, 1900, and enter into communica-
ton with the relief expedition so that
cooperation may be secured between
them for the liberation of the lega-
tons, the protection of foreigners and
the restoration of order. Such action
on the part of the imperial govern
hlent would be q satisfactory demon
stration Of its friendliness and desire
to attain these ends.
(Signed } "ALVY A. ADFE.
Acting Secretary.
Department of State, Washington.
August 3, 1907
Although the note was delivered to
Minister WI early last evening, it had
not bsen forwarded to the Chinese gov
eminent at 10 o'clock this morning.
Thelaborious work of translatingit into
precise Chinese, and then of putting it
into the complicated cipher system,
which the Chinese employ, was respon-
sible for the delay. The minister and
his assistants had been at work al
most constantly since 1t was received.
but up to the hour named had not
finished putting it into cipher. 1t was
expected, however, that is would go
forward within a few hours.

| Special To the Register.
SISTERSVILLE, August Am I'M
usual and interesting battle between
two young men who had grievance
was fought in a corn field about half a
mile below the city last night about
o'clock, and there was a crowd of be-
tween SEQ and 400 people present to see
the fun.
During Wednesday evening it be-
came noised about the city that Okey
/ Weigle, a barber employed in Frank
Reails barber shop, and Frank Will
kins, employed in John Hetzel's shop,
were going 10 fight battle at point
on the South Side to be decided on
| when the principals and those on the
| inside who were to see fair play, ar
rived at a certain place. About eight
o'clock the crowd commenced TO move
down toward the Carter Oil Co. S Offices
and those who wanted TO see the fun
trailed along behind. When the Car
ter Offices We're reached it was decided
distance away, and a break was made
for that place.
The referees finally decided on a
place and ring about 80 feet in di-
ameter was formed by the spectators.
Inc combatants pulled their coats and
at the word go started at each other
like pair of mad bulls. There was to
be 10 interference Of any kind until
one of the antagonists had cried
enough, ana there was none. Each of
the young fellows were given advice by
their friends and each each time good
blow was landed the one who had the
best of it was wildly cheered. The
night lasted about 80 minutes, and dur
ing that time some very hard blows
were struck Wilkins was the lighter
of the two and was the best scientific
fighter, but Weigle rushed in finally,
after receiving some very hard punish
ment, and breaking down the others
guard, clinched. They struggled about
for short time, when Weigle's weight
finally told. He got hold of Wilkins
by the throat at last, and the fight was
soon over. He choked his antagonist
very severely.
The cause which led up to the en-
counter is differently stated by diff
ferent persons, Some say that several
years ago, when Weigle was small
boy, Wilkins slapped him for some rea-
sou, and Weigle had declared at the
time his intention of thrashing Will
kins as soon as he had grown up. An
other story was to the effect that there
is a well known young lady in the city
who is the innocent cause of all the
trouble, and that the fight was for the
purpose of deciding which of the boys
war to give her up. At any rate, they
botn fought hard, got a good pummel-
ing and are feeling extremely sore to-
Gay.
