c. H. LUM FILES A PETITION IN
 BANKRUPTCY.

DAN NIlbI V
 Charles H. Lum, the real estate deal
 CT living in West Haven, filed a volun-
 tary petition in bankruptcy yesterday
 afternoon in the United States court at
 Hartford. His liabilities are about $S,5G0 and his assets $500 Included in the
 liabilities is judgment of $3,25l recent ly awarded to MT. Lum's daughter Mrs
 Charles Hubbard, by jury In the civil side of the superior court. The judg- ment was awarded over month ago, but has not been paid. The filing of the petition in bankruptcy will proba- bly, complicate Lum's affairs still more and 1t will undoubtedly involve cons,d- erabe litigation.
 The bankruptcy petition was made necessary by the superior court judg- ment in favor of Lum's daughter. At the time the suit was brought Lum'S property was attached. Everything he owned was taken by the sheriff and he was greatly crippled financially The heavy judgment against him made him a bankrupt and on the advice of his attorney, l.. E. Jacobs, Mir Lum decided to file a petition in the United States court.
 Among the items in Lum's schedule of assets is claim of S2S32. 33, which the petitioner holds against Mrs, Hub bard. This sum he claims to have paid his daughter at various times. If 1 the claim is allowed by the bankruptcy referee a suit will probably have to be | brought against Mrs. Hubbard by the | trustee of Lum's estate That is one | of the many complications that will | probably arise from the filing of the | petition.

LETTER FROM TIEN-TSIN.
Charles f. Cannon Describes the
Situation Up to June 4.

New York, July 29-The American Bible
Society has received a letter from Charles
+. Cannon. its agent in Tien-Tsin. dated
June 4. Mr. Cannon, after detailing the
events up to the date of the letter. includ-
ing the killing of the English missionaries,
Robinson ard Norman. says:
1.-The missionaries at Pao-Ting-F'u have
thus far. and wisely, too. refused to leave
there. With the railway destroyed and boat
travel certainly fatal. they cannot leave.
and with the Government utterly help
less and the soldiers $50 thoroughly in SYM
PATTY with the Boxers, there is cause to
fear for their safety. although the Minis
tiers have warned the officials to give them
protection.
"The railway authorities are fighting hard
to maintain communication with Pekin tthe
heads of the departments being British.
but the line is daily interrupted by the
burning of BRIDGES and stations, and trains
are frequently returning, being unable to
get through The Chinese troops sent to
guard the line have failed to accomplish
anything. and even II they were not in
sympathy with the present anti-foreign
movement and largely members of the
Boxers society. there is every reason TO be-
lieve that they have secret instructions not
to resist or punish the Boxers. Meanwhile
the Powers have been daily landing sailors
and marines. and Tien-Tsin is one great
military post. full of moving patrols and
with guards stationed al every vulnerable
point Twenty men-of-war are now at the
mouth 81 the river. and more are coming"
