FOREIGNERS DOOMED
All Hope Of Rescuing the Foreign
Residents at Pekin Has Been
Abandoned.
SEVERAL DEEDS OF HEROISM
The Americans Distinguished Themselves
at Tien Tsin-Tsrrible Atrocities Com
mittsd upon the Wounuea and the
Dead by the Chinese

Tien Tsin, June 20, via Che Foo, July
/, and Shanghai, July 5.-(Copyright
1900, by the Associated Press s.)-Those
best informed in Tien Tsin consider the
position of the foreigners in Pekin al
most hopeless. The commanders are
willing to resort to desperate means
but to attempt fc-ced march from
Tien Tsin with the forces at hand
means certain destruction of the army
besides the slaughter of the civilians
left at Tien Tsin. The Chinese are CON-
lnitting terrible atrocities upon the
wounded, mutilating all the dead which
fall into their hands.
HEROISM IN CHINA.
Small American contingents every
where distinguish themselves. Captain
McCalla and Major Waller are at Tien
Tsin. Their men are placed in the lead
of every movement. BY common con-
sent the British are close beside them.
The foreigners in Tien Tsin declare.
however that they owe their lives to
the Russians, without whom the other
small detachments must have been
overwhelmed. Admiral Seymour was
wounded slightly recently by spent
ball, which struck his shoulder The
hero of Tien Tsin Is James Watts, a
young Englishman, who, with three
Cossacks, ran the gauntlet to Taku
with messages, charging through viii
lagos under fire repeatedly.
SEVENTEEN MISSIONARIES MAS
SACRED.
Chicago, July 6.-Off1cers of the
American missionary board In this city
state that probably seventeen or more
of their representatives from the North
China missions are victims Of the Pekin
massacre, If reports from Shanghai are
correct. They had met in annual con-
ference at Tong Cho, near Pekin, and it
is supposed they fed thence to Pekin,
as the mission building at Tong Cho
was burned by the Boxers.
A WARNING FROM THE CONSULS.
Washington, July GA dispatch has
been received by the state department
from Consul General Goodnow, at
Shanghai. dated July 5. in which he
says that the insurrectionary move
ment Is spreading. II the allied forces,
he said, should meet reverses, the insur-
rection will certainly spread to central
and southern China, resulting in the ex-
pulsion and murder Of foreigners In the
interior and the ruin Of trade. A strong
force, he says, Is necessary to check the
viceroys In the north and to support
the viceroys in the south. 1t is under
stood that all consuls Of the powers in
China sent identical dispatches to their
respective governments.
STREETS RUNNING WITH BLOOD.
London, July 6.-There is a mass of
wild rumors from the far east. Though
so contradictory on most points, 1t con-
tnues unanimous as to the consumma-
ton of the tragedy at Pekin. To con-
sistent reports of the massacre Of all
whites are added the additional horrors
that the savage soldiery butchered at
the capital 5000 natives, Roman Cath
Ollie converts. The streets Of Pekin are
said to be literally running with blood.

This new turn Of affairs opens the third and

When he fights he hits hard, but he strikes from

His personal tact and large executive ability
are recognized all over the State.

pendents in politics in the State especially here
have been led into the movement by the sweet
sound Of the cry and seem to think 1t makes
no difference who utters it. How far their en-
thusiasm will carry them or affect the State at
large is to be seen. The experienced and prac-
disturbance is connected with and part of the
programme to make Mr.. Fessenden the next
Senator from Connecticut. So far this has not
proved popular rallying cry.

BENEFITS FROM STREET RAILROAD Elk
TENSIONS.
Electric traction has conferred great benefits on
the public OF the United States in the removal OF
the working classes from the crowded areas to
healthy suburban homes. Can any believe that
under municipal control these great extensions or
teaches that where the municipality has had
control Of the streetcar lines 1t has always de-
clined to make such extensions. The fact is, a
municipality cannot and will not go into eXpendi-
neVe it is your opinion, well mine that II
the city of Chicago had been operating our street
railways for the last fifteen years the mileage
would not have been one-quarter of what it Is at
the present time.
But. above all, I claim that municipal ownership
is contrary to the principles Of our free govern

what has built up this country to the condition
and position II occupies to-day? Is it not that
every man, woman and child, who has the means,
able to invest the product of his thrift in what
way he may desire?
Let the corporations deal fairly with the mu-
tons 1t is this condition need and not mu-
