PICKING CAPTURED.
Unconfrmed Report Reached
Vienna From Hongkong.
ATTACK COMMENCED ON MONDAY.
Sir Claude Macdonald Reported to Have
Opened Communication With the Re
lieving Force-Chinese Lost Heavily at
Tung Chow.

London, Aug. l7--A cablegram
to Vienna from Hongkong announ-
oes the capture of Pekin; but the
Austrian government, like other
European powers, is still without

king, began Monday, that Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British minister, has
opened communication with the reliev-
ing force and that the allies have es-
tablished their headquarters at Tuhg
Chow.
Chinese officials in Shanghai are
reported as admitting that the al
lies inflicted a heavy defeat on the
Chinese imperial troops around
Tung Chow Sunday and then
marched direct or Pekin.

official advices announcing the cap

The western powers, according to a
dispatch to The Daily Express from
Kobe, have accepted the proposals for
INFLATED by Japan for arranging an ar
mistice, dependent upon the immediate
delivery of the foreign legations to
the allies or the granting of permits
sion to the allied forces to enter Pc
king and to guard the legations. Upon
these bases. the correspondent says,
Japan has already began to negotiate.

Chinese had intended to make final
attack upon the legations last Sunday.

NEW YORK, July l4.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
When Lord Salisbury stated In the
house Of lords that there was no news
Whatever from Pehin. the spectators
we're painfully impressed with the SOL
emnliy OF his manner. This was a
small matter In comparison with the
oinlnous fact that the legations had
KEEP, silent for 10 days.
Mr. Broderick explained In the house
Of commons that the wires we're not
working between Shanghai and Che
Eco, and that the admirals could not
communicate with their governments.
Shanghai had virtually become the on
ly center OF news and the northern
provinces were cut on.
Mr. Broderlck admitted that dis
patch 2urporting to come from the en-
peror % China had been received at
the foreign Office, and this was regard
ed as an indirect confirmation OF the
correctness Of the version previously
published Of the edlct holding the Eu-
rcpean powers partly responsible for
the anarchy at Peksn. since they had
ordered the bombardment OF the Taku
forts. There Is no ground for criticism
OF the action OF the powers in this
respect. but well-lnformed men here
do not hesitate TO say that vioe-Ad-
miTal seymour's course in marching
fnim Tien Tsin to Pekin viii. an ina
dequate force and insufficient supplies
was fatal mistake which excited the
Chinese and brought on the catastro-
phe.
The news at midnight was meagre
and the situation was virtually un-
changed. Another day had passed
without message from the legations,
and the good faith OF the Chinese gov
ernment. or whatever has taken Its
place, was generally dIstrusted by the
members OF parliament.
Nearly every one feared that the
worst had happened. and that the for
eigners had been massacred.
The only hopeful man with whom
your correspondent talked was an In
dian veteran. who considered Il impos-
sible that Sir Robert Hart had lost his
life when he was Mandarin and
could wear the peacock's feather and
the red button. This officer expressed
the belief that Sir Claude Maconald
and Mr.. Conger and the other minis
ters. were in hiding either in the pal
ace or elsewhere, and explained that the
Chinese officials could not give to the
foreign governments assurance of their
safety without exposing
themselves to fresh attack from the
mobs.
This veteran asserted that an official
with Sir Robert Hart's experience and
influence would have succeeded with
out doubt In rescuing most Of the
prominent members Of the embassies,

"What'S the Timer"

A booklet with this title, just pub
ished by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway, should not only be in the
hands ofevery traveller, but should have
a place on the desk of every banker,
merchant or other business men.
The four "Time Standards which
govern out entire time system and
which are more or less familiar to most
of the travelling public, but by many
others little understood, are SO fully
explained and illustrated by series of
charts, diagrams and tables that any
one who chooses can become convers-
ant with the subject in question. There
are also some twenty-four tables by
which almost at a glance, the time at
any place being given, the hour and
day can be ascertained in all the prin-
cipal cities of the world.
A copy of this pamphlet may be had
on application to Geo. H. Heafford,
General Passenger Agent, Chicago, en-
closing two-cent stamp to pay postage.

BRIEF nENTION.

The cambridge IN. " Republican
has discovered that the wife of a Meth
odist clergyman near there has been
married three times. Her maiden name
was Partridge, her first husband was
Robbins, the second Sparrow and the
present one Quayle. There are two
young Robbins, one Sparrow and two
Quayles, and the family live on Jay
street. One almost might be forgiven
for suggesting that the lady is "bird."
An exchange gets off the following
in a request to send in the news. 1t
says: 'If you know Of any item,
kindly tell us about it. Every week we
know that you know things that we
don't know. And we know that you
know that we don't know it, and still
you don't tell us. Now if you tell us
what you know, then we will tell you
what we know, also what you know,
and then our readers will know what
they know and what we know, and
also what we know that you know we
know, you know"
A New Jersey woman has applied
for divorce from her husband, and in
her suit occurs the following statement:
When she ask him for twenty-nine
cents with which to get lining for her
dress he replied that he would ask the
I nrI about ~ fhnn HynI
hours, and finally told her that the
Lord had told him that dress was
vanity and that she could not have the
money. Her husband is Faith Curst
and she is member of the Methodist
church. The court will probably de-
eide that the Lords advice was good,
based upon knowledge of the fact that
the twenty-cent husband did not have
the twenty cents.
Bob Burdett's advise to young men
is: "My son, follow not in the foot
steps of the loafer, and make no exam
pie of him who is born tired, for verify
| say unto you, their business is over
stocked, the seats on the corner are all
taken, and the whiting places are all
occupied. 1t is better to saw wood at
two bits a cord than to whittle in a
loafing match and cuss the government.
My son, whilst thou hast left in thy
skull the sense of jay bird, break from
the cigarette habit, for 10, thy breath
stinketh like glue factory, and thy
whole appearance is less intelligent
than a stone dummy. Yea, thou art a
cipher with the rim knocked off,"
