Slightly Comforting News
 From China
FATE OF FOREIGNERS
Aut hentic News From Pekin Hourly Expected by Administration Off, cials-Further Details of Fall of Tien Tsin-Li Hung Chang Vice. roy of Chi Hli-Texas and In diana Offer Troops.

Washington, July 17.-Minister Wu has received a dispatch announcing the appointment of Ii Hung Chang ds viceroy of Chi Hi. Chi Hi is the great province in which Pekin is located and is in the very heart of the Boxer move ment so that the viceroy now assumes supreme command at the point of greatest danger. Minister Wu is satis- fled that if Ii Hung Chang had been at Pekin there would not have been any such outbreak as has occurred, Gs the viceroy is a stern military man, who believes in nipping such move ents in the bud.
 State department officials are anxious to accept Wu's message as accurate, but there are some clouds of doubt about it. The question naturally arises as it has many times in the past two weeks, if the Chinese government can communicate in this way with its rep resentatives abroad why can it not per init foreign ministers under its protec- tion to communicate with their gov ernments. In answer to another ques- tion, as to what purpose would be served by misrepresentation of facts in this fashion, it is pointed out that one result is desired by Chinese would be the preservation of Tien Tsin and an other would be the abatement of popu- lar resentment against the Chinese, temporarily at least.

 Tt is not enough to have able lead CTS, it is not enough to have immortal principles set forth in our platform; We must have loyal and patriotic citi- zens who value the privileges of Am erican citizenship; men who will lay aside partisan feeling and vote along the lines of patriotism. Patriotism does not alone consist in shouldering the rifle or girding on the sword, and readiness to follow the fluttering flag to far fields of glory. It is a sentiment implanted in the heart of loyal man that will compel him to study his coun- try's every interest in peace as well as war, to vote right as well as fight right Patriotism will dictate to the honest American voter that he study the eco- homie and industrial questions which will be submitted for his consideration, with an eye single to his country's wei fare, and with a heart inspired for his country's glory; then We can have no fear, that when the principles set forth in our platform are understood and the worth and merit of the men who carry our standards are fully estimated, the result will be the overwhelming election of Mckinley and Roosevelt.

WALLPAPER TRUST
It Will Go Out of Business at an
 Early Day.

New York, July 1.-The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Ma tional Wallpaper company opened here today. The question of the dissolution of the company is being considered and it is probable that it will be effected. The company has been in existence for eight years, and has done a large busi- ness, but it's profits have not been com mensurate with the expectation of the stockholders. The number of plants en- gagged in the manufacture of wallpaper outside of the trust has been pracu- cally doubled since the formation. The president of the company, Henry Burn, has declared that wallpaper manufac- ture can not be as successfully con- ducted through a combination as it can through independent plants. The in debtedness of the company will be paid in full before any action toward the dissolution is taken.

Friday and Saturday were about 800 killed or wounded. The cas- uaIties were the greatest among the Russians and Japanese. The guns of the allies did immense damage to the native city, caused many large conf1a- grations and finally silenced the ma tority of the enemy'a guns simulta-
 neously.
 Then 15,OO0 Russians, assisted by small parties of German and French, assaulted ard captured eight guns that
 were in position on the railway en- bankment and a fort magazine which
 the forces subsequently, blew up. A body of American, British, Japanese and Austrian troops then made a sortie and attacked the west arsenal, which th.a Chinese rad reoccupied. With four
 hours of the hardest fighting yet ex- perienced, the Chinese fled. When the

TWELVE HUNDRED ITALIANS
Trying to Enter This Country by

The officials at Eagle Pass want authority to employ ten additional mounted men for duty on the Rio Grande above and below Eagle Pass to intercept the Italians.
 It is stated at the immigrant bureau that the rigid enforcement of immigra- tion laws at the ports of this country has resulted in much immigration to Canada and Mexico with the object of entry into this country through those countries. Commissioner Powderly IS keeping a sharp watch for this kind of work and hopes to put a stop to it.

PRESCOTT'S BRAVERY
The People of the Town Superior
 to Fire.

Chaplain Scott arrived yesterday morning from Prescott. He says that people there are forgetting about the fire in the excitement of getting ready for rebuilding on a more extensive scale than ever. Some of the heaviest losers already describe the great fire as a blessing, prettily heavily disguised, it is true, but they are beginning to see through it. A message from Editor J. c. Martin of the Journal Miner on Monday night, said that there was a prevalent feeling of cheerfulness in the town. It was reported the day after the fire that there was suffering and Chaplain Scott and Morris Goldwater were appointed a committee to inves- tigate. They were unable to find any body in need. The court house had a close call. It caught twice from flying embers, but the flames were eXtin- guished by bucket brigades.
 Berry Goldwater, who also returned yesterday morning, said that more than 1000 telegrams condolatory or bearing offers of aid from wholesale houses and officials have been received. In all cases they were answered, the receipt of the sympathy being acknowledged. but the offers of assistance were de- clined. Three of these messages came from acting mayors of towns, and one

ADMIRAL sCHLEY'S FLEET
The Montgomery to Be Sent Home
 Atlanta May Replace Her.

Washington. July 17.-On the recom- mendation of Rear Admiral Schley, commanding the south Atlantic squad ron, he has been authorized to send the cruiser Montgomery of his small fleet to the United States immediately for an extensive overhauling. The Montgom- cry has been on active service for seven years and her machinery is badly out of repair. It is said she also needs new decks and other work to put her in first class condition. Under the orders just issued the cruiser will be sent to the New York navy yard and be put out of commission. It is said that she re- quires at least six months work.
 Her detachment from the south At lantic station will reduce Admiral Schley's fleet to two vessels, the flag chip Chicago and the gunboat Will mington It is probable that the place of the Montgomery will be supplied by the cruiser Atlanta, which has just undergone an extensive overhaultng at the New York navy yard. She is avail able for immediate service. It is under stood that Admiral Schley has asked for her and that his request will be granted, provided the necessary otlc- CTS and men can pe obtained to put her in commission. The Atlanta is one of the pioneers of the new navy. Like the Chicago. she was built by John Roach at Chester, Pa, in 1883. She was one of the famous white squadron under Admiral Walker.
