Colonel Wint's Defeat of the Chinese
Near Tten Tsfn.

Washington, Aug. 27-The first direct
word from General Chaffee since Au-
gust is came to-day in the form of a
cablegram dated to-day at Taku, re-
porting the action of the Sixth cavalry
with the enemy near Tien Tsin on the
18th. The cable is as follows:
'Taku. Aug. 81.
"Adjutant General, Washington;
Colonel Wint on the 10Th reports march

of enemy seven miles from city; dis

Colonel Wint is lieutenant-colonel of
the Sixth cavalry, but is acting as col

who is in Europe. The fight probably
occurred near Tien Tsin as the Sixth
cavalry was at that place at the time
mentioned,
The cable adds nothing to the infor-

FITZSIMMONS WILL RETIRE.
Failing to Get Match With Jeffries He
VIII Leave the Ring.

New York, Aug. 27.--After an inef-
fectual attempt to-day at meeting of
all concerned on the part of Bob Fitz-
simmons to get on a match for the
j. Jeffries to take place before the Hor-
ton law expires at midnight next Fri
day, Robert Fitzsimmons said tonight:
II am through. will retire from the
ring and will not claim the champions
ship from Jeffries. I am ready and on
edge to meet him next Friday night as
his manager suggested ten days ago,
but as he claims he is in no condition
to fight ON that night, / am through
there will be one man less in the heavy
weight division, for I will go out with
the Horton law"
Brady said 1t was impossible for a
fight to take place between his man
and Fitz on the date mentioned, as
Jeffries could not get in condition by
that time, but that he would put up
forfeit at once to bind match between
the two, the fight to take place within
three months from September aad
side bet of 100000 Fitzsimmons would
not listed to this p roposition and said
that it was only made for advertising
purposes. When he saw that Brady
would not agree to his proposition to
fight this week, Fitzsimmcns then made :
the statement that he was through with
the fighting game and would retire from
the ring.

CITING UP OF ROME.
A Statement that King Humbeet Medt-
tated the Step.

London, Aug. 28.-"As a result of the
outcry against the declaration of the
Observatore Romano says the Rome
correspondent of the Daily Express,
"that the late King Humbert had medi-
tated giving up Rome to the hierarchy,
the clerical papers have been instructed
to publish statement giving confirma-
tion and details. According to this ac-
count King Humbert, some months be-
fore his death wrote to Cardinal Cui-
seppe Frisco, archbishop of Naples, re-
questing that trustworthy priest be
sent to hear his confession A priest was
sent; but absolution was refused, unless
Humbert would agree to abdicate and
give up Rome.
THE king asked time to consider. as
he was anxious to receive the sacra-
ment; and according to the clerical
version, it was this communication to
the priest that induced the Holy See to
grant Christian burial"

clue to the murderer or to find a new
fact in the case. But they quit where
they began.

CASTINE'S DISPATCH TO AMOY.
VIII Make Run in Two Days To Serve
Moral Purpose.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Another event
to-day of some interest in the Chinese
situation was the order dispatching the
Castine from Shanghai to Annoy, dist
ant about four hundred miles. The lit
tie gunboat should make the run IN
about two days, under favorable condi-
tions. Her force Is small but sufficient
to serve the moral purpose If there be
need for such. 1t appears that she Is or
dered to Annoy quite as much on ac-
count of representations from we'll In
formed business circles, as from any Of
fetal advice. The consul at Annoy
agreeing with the representations of the
business interests, 1t was decided to be
proper to send a gunboat to Annoy, not
because of any particular apprehension
as to japanese aspirations, but to pre-
vent rioting at this dangerous point.

ALDERMEN IN AN UPROAR
DISGRACEFUL SCENES ENA CTED
LAST NIGHTS MEETING.
The City Sheriff Called Upon to Act
Asphalt Ordered for Elm and Crown
Streets, Vttrified Brick for Chapel and
Temple Streets Mem bers Recorded as
Boilers Grave Charges Made and the
Lie Passed.

Lie Passed.
At the meeting of the board of alder
men held last night there occurred dur
ing a contest between the brick men
and the asphalt men one of the most
disgraceful scenes that has been enact
ed at a common council meeting in
years. Pot called Kettle black and Ket-
tie resented 1t by returning the compli-
ment. The lie was passed, charges of
bribery and corruption were flung back
and forth, and withal there was a
struggle of desperation by each side to
have it's favorlte material adopted for
pavements. There were probably few
members who were not committed to
any particular pavement, but as the
contest waxed they rallied on one eide
or the other and became the most yo-
ciferous among the champions. The
street committee had recommended that
Chapel and Temple streets be paved
with vitrifled iron shale rock brick, that
Crown street be paved with dimension
granite blocks and that Elm street be
repaired with crushed stone.
These recommendations, containing
nothing for asphalt block angered the
asphalt block men and they determined
to turn all their efforts to the defeat
of iron shale brick if they couldn't get
asphalt blocks. Their efforts to carry
out this determination We're successful,
SO far as the board of aldermen Is con-
cerned, and last night the street COM
mittee reports were so amended as to
provide for the laying of vitrified brick,
not vitrified iron shale brick, on Chapel
and Temple streets, and for the laying
of asphalt block pavements on Crown
street and Elm street. What will be
done in regard to these orders by the
councilmen at their meeting tonight is
a matter of conjecture, but there will
undoubtedly be fierce struggle be-
tween the two sides and more edifying
spectacles may be looked for there.
