ATTACK CEASES
Chinese Bombardment 0fthe Le-
cations at Pekin Stopped on
the 18th of July.
al the Ministers Except Won
Ketteler Then Said to Be
Alive and Well.
News From German and Japan
csc Officials There by Way
of Tien Tsin.

WASHINGTON, July 81. The secre.
tary of state has received dispatch
from Mr.. Fowler, American consul at
Che Foo, dated July 80. Mr.. Fowler
said: ~ III
"A letter from the German legation,
dated 2lst inst, received at Tien Tsin.
German loss is 10 dead and IL wounded.
Chinese ceased their attack on the 18th.
Baron Won Ketteler's body is said to
be safe. The Austrian, Dutch and
Spanish legations destroyed and the
French partially. "A letter from the
japanese legation dated 22d, arrived at
Tien Tsin on the Goth. Ten battalions
of Chinese shelled the legations consec-
utively from the Goth of June and
stopped on the 18th of July, but may
renew. The enemy are decreasing.
The German, Russian, American, Brit.
ish and half the japanese and French
legations still defended. Japanese say
they have food for six days, but little
ammunition. The emperor and empress
are reported at Pekin.''

Washington Gives Credence to Latest Re-
ports From Pekin.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The view
which the Washington cabinet has
taken from tie beginning, that with
the exception Of Baron Won Ketteler the
legationers at Pekin were alive long
after the date which was said to have
marked their massacre, is being slowly
but surely confirmed. The most i'm
portant contribution in support OF our
government position since the receipt
of the Conger autograph letter, repre-
senting the foreign ministers to have
been alive on July 4. came from United
States Consul Fowler at Che Foo. The
letter referred to by the consul as COM
ing from the German legation at Pekin
is supposed here to have been an au.
Geographic letter, and as such is abso-
lutely removed from the possibility of
fraud. The Japanese report is also un-
derstood to have come down to the sea
without having passed through Chinese
hands. 1t was one of the first results
of the private messenger system inau-
gurated by the commanders Of the al
lied forces. Taken in conjunction the
reports submitted by Mr.. Fowler added
overwhelmingly to the weight of testi-
mony in favor Of the existence Of the
legationers.

LONDON, Aug. IA special dispatch
from Tien Tsin says:
IA Pekin message dated July 81 re-
ports that the first outside news reached
there July Is. The failure of the re-
lief expedition made the siege far more
perilous. On June 10 the tsung Ii
yamen broke off relations and June 20
China declared war. Baron Won Kot-
teller and Francis James, an English
professor, were murdered. Over 400
non-combatants occupied the British
legation. I understand converts are
holding the north cathedral. A thou
sand refugees occupied the palace of
Prince Lu. A truce began July II,
after 26 days Of fierce assault. One
night the Smelling was uninterrupted
for six hours. Four attempts were
made to fire the british legation. Two
attacks resulted in the ruin of the Han
Lin college (the Chinese national col
lege). The cowardice Of the Chinese
prevented successful rushing. The
total killed or dead is:
Germans, 10; japanese, 10; French,
IL; British, 8; Russians, 4; Americans,
2; Italians, z; converts, 8; total, with
wounded, SO. $500

THE ELECTRICAL KITCHEN.
No More Overdone Roast or Under
done Puddings.

No More Overdone Roast or Under
done Puddings.
Cooking would be more Of an art and
less of gamble if the heat could be
put where it was wanted and nowhere
else and it's intensity were under the
perfect control of the cook. The oven
snat will not come up to the right tenn
,,erature or that will not bake on the
bottom, the chimney that draws the
wrong way when the wind is from the
northwest, the hampers that refuse to
do as they are bid, the kindling that
burns out without lighing the coal, all
tend to make cooks the most i'll tenn
pered of mortals.
The gas range is admirable in that it
supplies heat that can be tempered
at will, but it fouls the air. 1t burns
up the oxygen and leaves carbonic acid
gas, and if there is gas stove connec-
ton that does not leak little l have
yet to see it. Perhaps the escaping gas
may not favor the food, but some pro-
fess themselves able to detect it in the
viands. But be that as it may jewellers
in city houses need more pure air rath-
er than less Of it. If we do not live as
long as we might, it is because we shut
out the sunlight and the air too care
fully.
The electrical kitchen is not only ad-
mirable, it is ideal in it's application Of
heat. 1t does not steal oxygen. 1t does
not foul the air. 1t is steady. 1t can
be directed to the top, bottom or the
sides Of the thing to be cooked, for 1t
does not depend upon the combustion
of fuel or the convection of hot air, but
upon the resistance of iron to the cleo
trical current. ~.
Instead of having to plan so that the
cooking be done when the fire is in the
range the electrical Kitchen is ready at
any hour Of the day or night to bake or
broil. set the stewpan to sizzling or the
hot water urn to bubbling, to brew the
8 O'Clock tea or to disconnect the mid
night Welsh rabbit from the fear that
the alcohol bottle is empty and all the
drug stores shut up. to temper the chill
Of the spare bed or to warm the toes
under the desk. to heat the curling iron
or the smoothing iron. all these appli-
ances being connected by a flexible
wire cord to socket In the wall
whence comes the energy.
1t is, an exemplification of the whole
sale principle. Instead of 1000 chin
neys smoking at tremendous sacrifice
of coal there need be but one big fire
whose heat is turned into motion, that
into electricity and that in turn back
to heat again.-Ainslee's Magazine.

Rapid Name Signing.

The record in the United States and
probably in the world of the rapid
signing of the name consecutively
many times Is probably held in this
city. and the distinction belongs to
Colonel ]. q. Berret, formerly mayor
of this city and an old and respected
resident Of the capital.
During President Folks administra.
ton Colonel Berret was connected with
the treasury department. Bonds to
the amount of $13.OOO.OOO were issued,
and it was necessary for either the
secretary of the treasury, r. j. Walker,
to sign them or for some one in his
stead. He delegated Colonel Berret
to affix his signature to each one OF
the 40 coupons on each bond. 10000
coupons in all. Colonel Berret signed
his name 1000 times the first day OF
the. work and kept this average up
every day. completing his task in &c
days.-Washingto Exchange,

to hand over night. Admiral Remey

to begin the campaign toward Pekin

it is probable that if the report was
true, the advance begun Tuesday and
the armies are already on the way to

waiting for Chaffee's force, small
though it is, is surprising.
