PeAin in tate of Anarchy

Che Foo July 24.-General Li command ing the Pei Tang forts near Taku, reports 10 the British officer commanding at Tong Ku that runner who left Pekin on July IA reports that Pekin was in a state of abso- lute anarchy; that the regular troops were fighting the Boxers, and that the latter were getting the better of the struggle; that the Maxim ammunition of the lega- ton guards was exhausted ,and that they were using their rifles sparingly; that the guards recently rushed the walls and si- fenced the Chinese guns, and that a number of Chinese officers were desirous of pro- tecting the foreigners, but were in the mi ncrity.
 General Ii is anxious to avoid fighting the allies.

is gladly tolerated by the actual authorities ir order to prove to the powers the import ance of the government. At any rate, the government massed large bodies of troops at Pekin and at Tien Tsin. ostensibiy to quell the rebellion, but these joined the rebels against the foreigners
 The article proceeds to show that war was indirectly promoted most effectively in this manner by the Chinese policy. which thus did excellent preliminary work for the mill itary leaders. ''The stubbornness of the battles around Tien Tsn," continues the writer, shows that the Chinese political and military calculations were able to achieve favorable results at first. If the allies had not succeeded at Tien Tsin, where the situation was for two weeks doubtful, Chinese politics would have scored a success whose consequences would have been incalculable."
 The article concludes as follows:
 Whether Chinese statesmanship is to succeed in hindering an energetic and in- telligent plan of operation by the allies the future will show, but the plans of the al- lies would be at a disadvantage just so soon as a lack of harmony in military aim appears"
 This evenings papers devote considerable attention to President McKinley's consent to mediate, and the comment is all unfa- Yorabe.
 Surprise Is generally expressed that Washington should take Chinese official news seriously. The Berliner Tageblatt complains that the United States govern ment lis so convinced of the wisdom of its China policy that 1t is preparing in ad- vance to lay the blame for it's non-success upon governments less creduious than President Mckinley and Secretary Hay"

Russians Win Keep Control

Tien Tsin, Saturday, July 21.-The Rus sians announce their intention to keep control of the entire railway line between Taku and Pekin until the conclusion of hostilities, when they purpose, they say, to restore it to the Chinese.
 Admiral Seymour strongly disapproves allowing them to repair the line beyond Tien Tsin. He considers that the British should insure the undertaking and conduct It through. Meanwhile the French are en- deayoring to obtain control of all the river tugs. 1t is believed they intend to share the control with Russia.

upon Mrs. Daugherty, wife OF KEY y. a.

which was accordingly done, but tnere is
no foundation whatever for the ru1nor
and report that he had been lynched, and
he now awaits the action of the grand
jury in the Jail at this place
There has not been even a threat OF
violence.
John Peery is about thirty years old.
He entered the house of a Mr.. Dausherty,
living about two miles north OF town,
during the early part of Tuesday night.
Mr.. Daug9lerty being absent, and seized
Mrs. Daugherty by the wrists. Mrs:
Daugherty, who is an Old lady, screamed
and awakened little girl about thirteen
years of age. The negro became fright
ened and ran out the front door ana
stood on the porch in the moonasttt'
where he was recognized by the niue
girl who was looking out the W1ndoW.
For the past three years some unknown
party has been entering various houses
in this neig1hborElood during the nlsnt'
but nothing has ever been stolen ana no
violence offered to any enc ne Almost

female member of the family, and 1t is
supposed his object has always been as
sault though out of at least eight or ten
houses he has thus entered. no violence
mas occurred until last Tuesday night.
1t is thought and hoped that TINS negro
is the man who has terroriZed this com
munity for so long. The evidence is
quite strong against him and he fails TO
give any satisfactory account of his
whereabouts for four or five hours of
Tuesday night, during which time the
house was entered, and the little girl is
quite positive as to his identity. There
seems to be little excitement over the
matter here, and no violence is anticipat-
ed against the negrj.

by the Initiative and referendum. All
necessary amendments to the constitution
could thus have been made, and In eaca
case the people would have had the priy1-
