Well, that's sad. Just to think
that all trouble and expense the

TOWN DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Too Weak for Whisky.

Buckley, Wash, July o., 2 a. MA fire
which broke out about half an hour ago
promises to destroy the greater portion
of the town. 1t has gained such head
way that the fire department is powerless
to check 1t. There was a panic in the
hotels and dwelling houses when the fire
was discovered.
The livery stable of A. T. Banks was
the first to go up in flames. Young Banks,
a boy of 18, who was asleep in the build
ing, had a narrow escape from burning
to death. The entire building, ten horses
and all the buggies, wagons and harness
were destroyed.
ard saloon and the Buckley hotel The
latter building y0ls crowded with guests
and there was panic for few moments
and number of the guests rushed out in
the streets scantily dressed In short
time after the fire started the whole town
had been aroused and everybody did
what they could to aid the fire depart
ment. Their efforts were of no avail A
strong wind was blowing and the dry
wooden buildings were licked up very
rapidlv The Lavequesie saloon was
threatened and determined effort was
made to save 1t.
2:3O a. mat this hour two hotels and
three saloons and twenty-seven build
inps are on fire. All the burned struc-
tures are situated near the depot in the
heart of the city. When 1t was discov-
erred that the fire department could not
cone with the flames, aid was asked OF
the peighboring towns. An engine was
gent from South Prairie and helped bv
throwing a single stream on the blaze.

VIOLENCE AT HOME.

New York, July 27.-Many Of the Chi
namen Of this city, who fear that re-
venge will be taken on them for the out
RACES of the Boxers in China, are arrang-
ing to leave the city, but they are not
going to China. The island of Cuba is
the haven of safety which they have in
view, and inducements for them to go
there are not wanting. The amount of
Spanish money (which is in circulation in
CHINA town is proof Of the success of the
ChlnaE1en who have recently returned
from the island. The stories they tell of
the profitable work on the tobacco plan
tations and the considerate treatment
they receive from the Spaniards and Gu
bans is having it's effect on those who
are anxious to leave this city.
The prospect of a big tobacco crop is
responsible for the establishment of sew
eral new cigar factories. Chong Bing,
manager of the Kwong Lung Jim COM
pany, said that great many Chinese
would be sent to the plantations in which
different Cinnamon of this city are inter-
ested Many laborers are to go as well
as expert tobacco handlers. He says the
crop is going to be bigger than ever be-
fore and that the Cinnamon have secured
their share of it.

O'clock this morning. The secretary Of

Ihlnese situation was discussed. Besides
Secretary Hay there were present Secre-

no further definite plans concerning the
action or this government had been pre-

terchange OF opinions ad views Secre-
tary Hay laid before the members the
latest information he has received, in
Guiding a dispatch from Consul General
GoodnoW at Shanghai. The government
has received information presumably
from Admiral Remey that the number OF
allied troops in Tien Tsin is % 900. The
movement of the troops from Tien Tsin
to Pekin, Secretary Root said would de-
pend upon the arrival and mobilization
of troops OF other nations now on the
way to Taku. He said it would be i'm
possible for the United States force,
small as it is, to go alone. 1t is further
stated that all the United States troops

ordered to China.

accepting in good faith the representa-

ing the wrath of the powers and delay

as the result Of the privations they had
undergone simultaneously comes the
following cable dispatch to the Daily
Mail:
Shanghai, July PA letter just re-
ceived here from Sir Claude Macdonald,
dated Pekin. July 6, follows: We are re-
ceiving no assistance from the authori-
ties. Three legations are still standing,
including the British. We also hold a
part Of the city walls. The Chinese are
shelling us from the city with a three
inch gun and some smaller ones, and are
sniping us. We may be annihilated any
day. Ammunition and food are short
We would have perished by this time only
the Chinese are towards and have no
organized plan of attack If we are not
pressed we may hold out a fortnight
longer, otherwise four days at the ut
most.
{ I anticipate only slight resistance to

''Sir Claude concludes by advising the
relief force to approach by the eastern
gate or by way of the river.
The losses of the foreigners in Pekin
up to July We're forty killed and eighty
wounded
Some of the statements above are
strikingly similar to the published ver-
sion of Sir Claude MacDonald's letter of
July 4. II not the same letters, the Chi
nese artillery would appear to be strange

same according to the letters of both

office this morning received a dispatch
from Shanghai, under today's date, men,
tioning the receipt of a letter from Sir
Claude Macdonald, dated July 4, in
which 1t was stated that the besieged
foreigners in Pelxin were reduced to

Hal also reported that a servant of the
German minister who left Pekin July 8
stated that the British legation was only
attacked at night and If resupplied, he

T0EDUCATE Them
PLAN WHICH MAY SETTLE PHIL
IPPINE QUESTION: SEND
u STUDENTS HERE.

Berkeley, July 27.-The Philippine COM
mission contemplates sending natives Of
the islands the United States to study.
The first news concerning this important
new policy was brought by letter from
Bernard Moses. professor of history in
the University OF California and a MEM
Der of the Philippine commission, In q
letter just received by President Wheeler.
The letter says in part:
From observations already made, I
am inclined to think that we shall find
among the young people of the islands
a large number of eager and competent
stud nts and l hope some arrangement
may be made by which from time to time
goodly number may be sent to the
schools Of America. It may, perhaps, be
found advisable to render some of them
assistance from public funds. It is quite
likely that in this way we can help to
bring the people of these islands to ap-
preciate somewhat the civilization of the
United States and to mark the differ
epce between America and Spain.

DETERMINATION TO RESCUE MINISTERS STRONGER THAN EVER
-PEKIN MUST GO.
CHINESE MAY AID, If THEY WILL
IMPERIAL WISHES WILL HAVE NO WEIGHT so LONG As MINIS
TIERS ARE IN DAN GER -GOODNOW
SAFE MAN.

Washington, July 27.-Secretary Hay
signahzed his return to Washington this
morning by the announcement that un-
der no circumstances will the govern
ment accept the Chinese offer to turn
over the foreign ministers to the inter-
nationals at Tien Tsin in consideration of
suspension of campaign against Pekin.
The state department claims to be pur-
suing an entirely consistent course in
this direction. The officials point out that
all of the bitter criticism in the European
papers directed against the United States
policy Is based upon a total misunder-
standing of the fundamental principles
which have governed the actions Of the
department. At no time, 1t is said, has
the state department allowed the belief
that the foreign ministers at Pekin were
alive to interfere in the slightest degree
with the prosecution Of It's military plans
for reaching Pekin. On the contrary, the
news that the ministers were alive was
accepted by the state department, not as
conveying absolute verify but as an ad-
ditiOnal reason for Fastening the relief
column forward to Pekin. 1t was the
departments contention, that, even
though a degree of improbability sur
rounded the Chinese story Of affairs in
Pekin, yet every consideration Of human
ity and policy demanded that 1t should
be given careful consideration and that
1t should be acted upon as IL true, pro-
vided that action went to the relief of
the foreign ministers and did not operate
to prevent the consummation of any Of
the objects laid down in Secretary Hays
ideMtic note. The department Is abso-
lutely satisfied that it's attitude was per-
fectly correct and that even European
critics will in time admit that fact.
Secretary Hays decision to decline the
last Chinese position was based upon his
determination to adhere strictly to the
conditions in the reply to the Chinese en-
peror's appeal. The state department re-
quired that the ministers at Pekin be put
in communication with their govern
ments, and the most significant condi-
ton of all, that the Chinese authorities
cooperate with the relief expedition for
the liberation of the legations. Until
these two things are done, the state de-
partment absolutely refuses to be led
into any arrangement looking to the
nese government such as the abandon
ment of the expedition to Pekin.
It is not known at present just how
this last proposition reached the state
department. 1t is inferred that it came
from several sources, but all are believed
to be traceable to Ii Hung Chang. Mr..
Goodnow, who is consul general at Shang
Hal, is the nearest United States official
to Ii, and has acquitted himself SO well
up to this point that the state department
does not hesitate to make further use of
him as diplomatic agent.
Therefore 1t may be interesting to the
foreign diplomats at Shanghai who have
