JASPER PEACHES.

A wagonload Of Jasper peaches, tho
first Of the season. reached Beaumont this
morning. That is they reached the Suburbs
OF Beaumont. The man never got AS far
as the business center. When the Post
correspondent saw him he was on Liberty
avenue and was dlsposlng of peaches by
the bucket as fast as he could measure
them out and deliver them with the as
sistance Of two small negro boys. The
beaches were of the clingEtone variety

They were large and he sold them at i5
cents a bucket while he could just as
easily have obtained 50 cents. In speaking
of the peaches the man said the crop
around Jasper this year was immense.
The reason that more OF them did NOT
come to the Beaumont market was be-

JEALOUSY AMONG THE ALLIES
CAUSES TROOPS TO BE HELD IN

Garden Parties Being Given While
the Foreigners Are In Hourly
Danger of Massacre at PelSin.
Especial to The post.)

New York. July Sl.--The Herald has a
cable from Tien Tsin. via Chez Foo, July
~, which says; Despite the perilous sit
uation in Pekn. no active movement is
being made by the military forces here.
This causes strong feeling among the
citizens.
The foreign forces are occupied with
international jealousies. They lack one
head to take the direction of affairs. The
officers are giving garden parties, while
ninety miles away their countrymen arc
in danger of massacre. They eXaggerate
the difficulties OF the advance to Pekn
instead of actively overcoming them. |
believe that a rapid advance after the
taking of Tien Tsin would have found the
Chinese demoraized and ready to sur
render Pekin could then have been cas-
ily relieved. Time has now been afforded
them for remuneration. More than 10000
men are doing nothing in Tien Tsin.

A comparison between the population
of the Chinese provinces and the popu-
lation of equal areas in the United
States, which has been going the ROUNDS
of the press recently gives vivid
idea of how dense the population is in
that country, where the soil yields four
crops every year. In the closest COM

than three to one, while in the case OF

TO HUNT DOWN coNsp1RAToRs.


New York. July 31.--The leaders Of the
Italian colony which has settled on the
shores of New York harbor, are taking
steps to ferret out and bring to justice
those anarchists who. they believe, are
directly or indirectly responsible for the
killing of King Humbert.
The better class of Italians discredited
on Monday even the suggestion that
Gaetona Bressi. the assassin of the king,
was in any way backed by local society.
The developments of the day, however,
had q more striking effect upon all classes
of the Italian settlement 1t resulted IN
"A great change OF sentiment.
The present feeling of the Italian lead
ers is best expressed by statement made
bv +. p Cambria
There is no doubt in nay mind that the
assassination of King Humbert was plot
ted here. BY that mean not only In
the Italian colony in this city, but in the
great settlement of our people around
New York harbor. What makes me think
mora than anything else that the anar-
chists among us are organized and have
chosen men from among themselves TO
put their murderous plans into execution
was an anarchistic nnuendo which / dis
covered today,
1t was only one OF thousands of such
circulars which are being thrown about
broadcast among our people. 1t was
printed on the press of an incendlary or
gan of the anarchists in Hoboken, the
editor of which is said to have been an
intimate friend of Bress. The circular
first assaled the Italian newspapers
which have mourned the death of the
king. 1t rallied against any sentiment of
sorrow and ridiculed all show Of sym
pathy. Lastly It openly denounced the
king, rejoiced in his taking off and named
his assassin hero.
ut will accordingly be our purpose TO
purge our settlement of such an ele-
ment as is represented by this circular.
1t will be our first step to appeal to the
police for their help, and failing in get
ting it we will take the matter into our
own hands.
