certainty remains the keynote to the
situation in China. Well informed
quarters continne to believe the leg
ations are still at Peking, but auth
entic information is lacking. The
dispatches tend to create an impress
sion that the Chinese authorities
are playing a double game by stimuli

against the Boxers and sending
secret orders to the Viceroys to dis
obey the comm 'uds to suppress the
outbreak.
Shanghai notes increasing signs
of general spread OF the rebellion

local feeling OF alarm is subsidiug.

China.

jackets and marines has left Ports

to use the men as landing force,

Through the Post Office we have
received copy of the Egyptian
Dream Book" we have studied the
work very carefully and find that to
dream of "coats" is very significant.
Judge Humphreys probably dream
ed of "coats" the other day when a
newspaper man was ordered out of
his court room because he had no
coat on. 1t is significant that above
the Egyptian Interpretation of the
dream is the following legend: "My
old enemy, kidney trouble, grasped

Americans and British did Brave
Work Together.

WORK 1OBetner,
TAkU, June 27.-E,rly in the
morning of the 23d Major Waller
and two companies of British
marched on Tien-Tsin. The re
mainder of the British and 300
Welsh Fusileers supporting, went
up the river bank. Another column,
consisting chiefly OF Russians and
Germans, took up the route chosen
by Waller. They were repulsed,
however.
On June 2l the Russians became
engaged in conflict with the Chin
ESQ. First Major Waller reinforced
them and then rejoined the British,
the Military College being attacked.
The Chinese exploded a mine under
the marines, merely bruising a few
of the men. While crossing to Join
the British they we're exposed to
heavy thanking FIRE, and Private
John Hunter was killed and Ser.
geant Taylor and Corporal Pedrick
were wounded. OF the English two
we're killed and three wounded.
The English and American forces
carried the village outside OF the
walled city by storm. They found

Cadet Pettingill, with forty men, in
good condition. Among the killed
also was Private Nicholas, and still
another American was wounded.

WASHINGTON, June 30.--The fol.

the Navy Department relative to
the grounding OF the Oregon:

The point where the Oregon
grounded is fifty miles west north
west OF Che Foo. Taku is 15O miles
west of Pinnacle Rock, where she
struck.
WASHINGTON, June Pinnacle
Rock, where the Oregon ran
aground, is about twenty-five feet
high and lies three and two-thirds
miles south OF Hawk Island and
about mile and a quarter north
northeast OF the island OF Siao Lu
Shan. The rock is encircled by q
shoal and should not be approached
nearer than three cables. Accord
ing to the photographic Bureau
officials. there is a strong current,
from three to FIVE knots speed, al
ways prevalent in this vicinity, and |
this fact, together with the dense
fog that prevailed at the time great
ly enhanced the danger of navigat-
ing the Oregon. The officials of the
Naval photographers Office say
there is great rise and fall of the
tide at this point (about ten feet),
and it is possible that the Oregon
may be lifted in this way and set
atloat without assistance.
Captain Wilde's statement OF the
injuries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the
naval constructors here to form a
definite opinion as to the prospects
of saving the famous ship. They
say, however, the ship probably can
be saved, if the weather does not
become rough, but unfortunately,
this is the season OF storms in Chin.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT PLACES YOU
SHOULD VISIT.

New England's best known lake resorts
are situated on the shores of WINNIPEG
saukee in Northern New Hampshire.
Lake Winnipesaukee is one OF, and per-
maps the, most beautiful lakes Gin the
world, and the scenic landscapes and sur
roundings are of a most wonderfully
charming and widely varying character,
and include woodland and mountain
scenes. The lake in size fairly equals an
inland sea, it's shore line measuring about
one hundred and eighty seven miles.
No less than three hundred islands are
scattered over its surface some of them
in extent covering several hundred acres.
The landing places on the lake are Weirs,
Centre Harbor, WoIfeboro, Alton Bay
and Bear and Long Islands, and it is at
hese places that the Steamer Mt. Wash
ington makes landings during it's jour-
ney over the lake, which distance is
about sixty miles, occupying about four
hours No doubt these trips to the boat
nave aided materially in making the lake
famous. for thousands take advantage of
the low rate fall excursions which the
Boston g Maine Railroad runs in connec-
ton with the Steamer Mt. Washington
for visiting Winnipesaukee.
An excursion is to be run from Port
land on Sept. 10 Round trip $1.50
Take train leaving here at s. 10 a. M,
arriving at Alton Bay in time to connect
with Steamer for tour Of the lake.
