the streets and loopholed the houses of

Perhaps the most serious among the
many reports from Shanghai is the
rumor that since the massacre at Pc

ordered south, with instructions to
make Ching Hang Pc, at the head of

An imperial edict issued July 8,

Shocked by the confirmation of the
tragedy in Peking, Europe still hest

CANNES and Fe,ines Poisoned,

OTTuMwA, Ia, July 17.-Over $500
worth of dogs, besides score or more
of cats, have been poisoned in Ottumwa
during the past few weeks. The opera
tions of what is believed to be person
with mania for poisoning dogs has
been going on in this city for num-
ber Of years. Periodically there is a
wholesale slaughter of favorite CANNES.
and during the last few days it has
been renewed with increased vigor.
The method employed by the poisoner
is to place strychnine in small pieces Of
meat which are distributed on the
lawns of the owners of the dogs which
are doomed.

DEs MONIES, July 1.-THE best poll

Senator Gear so short time before the
state convention throws more power in
to the hands of Governor Shaw than
has ever before rested with the chief
executive of the state. The best friends
of G.. S. Gilbertson admit that nothing
could have occurred to so seriously hurt
his chances for the treasurership, and
that today it looks like Hobart for sec.
retary and Morrow for treasurer. The
governor will make no appointment un-
til late in the fall, certainly not until
after the convention in August.

in China Fix Upon Number
Which Will BE Required.
WASHINGTON, July l7.-Sixty thou
sand men for the march to Peking and
10000 more to keep open the lines
OF communication, if necessary, and to
defend the bases of operation at Tien
Tsin and Taku, is the estimate of the
number of troops that will be required
in the Chinese campaign. Upon the
basis of these figures, which it is said
are those furnished by the commanders
of the allied forces in China, this gov
ernment will furnish between 10000
and $4,000 soldiers. The number is
thought by the officials to be all that we
should furnish in the present emergency
Indeed, it is more than was estimated
should be our share, as this was stated
to be about an even 10000.
The recent arrival of a battalion of an
infantry regiment ut San Francisco has
given an opportunity to the war de-
partment to utilize several batteries of

NOT AT WAR WITH CHINA.

Recent Events Have Not Affected Attitude
of the Administration.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE decision
of the administration at the end of
most eventful day is that the United
States government is still not at war
with the government of China. The
big happenings at Tien Tsin, coming on
top of the stories of the last struggles at
Peking, have not affected the attitude of
the administration on that point; the
United States and China are technically
at peace. But this statement should
not be accepted as indicating purpose
OF the part Of the United States gov.
ernment to hold its hand in the admin
istration OF swift and adequate pnrish-
ment upon this Chinese, without regard
to station, who may be responsible for
the outrages of the past few weeks 1t
means simply that the government of
the United States feels that it can best
achieve that purpose by regarding the
status officially as one of peace. To
hold otherwise would seriously cripple
the government in its efforts to obtain
satisfaction for the outrages the Amer
leans in China have suffered. We
should fad tie ports of China. now
open to US, closed and all sorts of i'm
penlments would be encountered
which are now missing. Therefore, ac-
cording to the administration view, a
declaration of war would afford not
even technical gain, while it would
actually be a heavy drawback.
Chairman Cannon of the house ap-
preparations committee is authority for
the statement that money i'll plenty is
at the disposal of the president to meet
the present emergency and that there IS
no necessity for called session of con-
gress on that score.
The day was the most exciting Wash.
lngton has known since the battle of
Santiago. At the very beginning came
Admiral Remey's cablegram announc-
ing the defeat of the allied forces at
Tien Tsin. A special cabinet meeting
was held on receipt of this news, with
such members present as are in town.
Great reluctance was manifested on the
part Of the participants to answer ques-
tions as to the nature of the delibera-
tions. The best indication of its nature
was the departure for the White house
OF Secretary Hay Immediately after the
meeting. He sat down and had a long
talk with President Mckinley over the
long distance telephone and it soon be-
came known that the president had de-
clded that it would be best for him to
come back from Canton to the national
capital.
The cabinet officers talked over the
possibilities of reinforcing the troops in
China. There was no disposition shown
to withhold these troops, the only ques-
ton was us to the amount of addi.
tional force available. That was a
technical question, so it was left to the
war department. officials to decide The
only point laid down was that the gov
ernment would send forward all the
troops that could be spared at this time

COLEMAN, Tex. July 17.-Fifteen
lives are known to have been lost in a
cloudburst here yesterday. Ten bodies
have been recovered, but only two were
identified. They are:
JOSEPH SPATH, leading merchant
JOHN FULEIssTINE.
1t is feared that many more lives
were lost in the valley below Coleman.
The cloudburst, which followed three
days unprecedented rainfall, caused
Ford's creek to burst it's banks and rush
through Coleman, village of less than
1000 inhabitants
Bewildered citizens, reused from their
slumbers, rushed into the streets and
were swept away. Many were saved
by catching hold of pieces of timber and
navigating them into eddies formed by
the swift current, where they were
drawn ashore.
Spath and Fuleisstine managed to
mount their horses They dashed into
the water and swan their horses to
house where four little girls Xwere
screaming for help. Each rescued two
of the children, whom they took upon
their horses. The animals were swept
away, however, in a noble effort to
stem the swift current, and all were
drowned

once-Frank's Seconds Throw Up the
Sponge to Avoid Knockout.

Sponge to Avoid a Knockout.
New YORK, July 17.-Last night in
the presence of $4,000 persons in Madi-
son Square Garden Terry McGovern Of
Brooklyn defeated Frank Erne Of Buf-
falo, the lightweight champion of the
world, in three rounds. 1t was hur-
ricane fight from bell to bell, without
seconds let up except when one of the
contestants was lying on the floor of
the ring. McGovern used the tactics
he said he would. He rushed in on
Erne at the very beginning and sent
left and right in such quick succession
that Erne, fast as he is, was nonplussed.
Erne undoubtedly is the cleverer of the
two, but his cleverness availed him
nothing against the bulldog rushes and
fierce attacks of the little featherweight
champion. Erne, of course, trained far
below his usual weight, as he had agreed
to meet McGovern at 1913 pounds, which
is five pounds below the lightweight
limit, but declared that he was in ex-
cellent condition.
In the first round, when Erne knocked
McGovern down with blow on the
head and the little fellow took the count
before he got up, the Erne rooters be-
lieved their man would win, but they
We're sadly mistaken as the result
proved. McGovern got up with grin
on his face and sailed right in with
terrific force. He played sad havoc
with Erne's body and was satisfied to
stand blows in the face as long as he
could reach Erne's wind.
In the second round fighting was so
fast that it was impossible to keep track
of the blows, but Terry landed three
blows to Erne's two. In the third
round, which proved to be the last,
Terry fought faster than ever. He was
up to his man all the time, grinning
when he got punch as well as when he
was sending one in. When he foored
Erne for the first time it looked as if
the latter would not be able to resume
hostilities, but he arose to his feet
fairly strong and tried to Offset Nc
Governs advantage. It was futile
attempt, however, as McGovern soon
had him in trouble again, as he foored
him once more with blow on the jaw
and a left over the heart. Erne got up
on his knees and rested on his right
hand. With his mouth wide open he
gasped for breath and tried hard to re-
gain his feet. His mouth and nose
were bleeding profusely and in addition
to his struggle for wind the blood was
running down his throat and partially
choking him. By almost superhuman
effort Erne got to his feet, but he was
in sore distress. 1t was now evident
that Erne was a beaten man and Nc
Govern started in to finish him. Terry
sent a smash to the face, which landed
on Erne's nose, and with couple of
blows the little fellow paved the way
for knockout swing, but Erne's Sec
onGs, seeing their man had enough,
threw up the sponge and saved the
Swiss boxer from knockout.
