THE FIGHT AT YANG TsUN.

The Shanghai correspondent of tho
Daily Express, wiring yesterday, says:
THE allies at noon, Saturday, were
within twenty miles of Pekin.''
AS Gen. Chaffee's report, which Is the
only authentic news received here re-
garding the advance, located the interna-
tional forces about forty miles from Pc
kin on Friday, it seems probable that the
Shanghai report is optimistic. It is
scarcely likely that the allies could ad-
vance twenty miles ir as many hours
Yang Tsun dispatch dated Aug. 7,
giving details regarding the capture of
that place, says:
'"The Russians and French held the left
the British the left center, the Americans
the right center and the Japanese the ex-
treme right The British and Americans
advanced on the villages at rapid rate
tor 5000 yards, under a severe shell and
rifle fire. The Russians opened, and the
Britfsh-American advance became race
for positions, eliminating in a brilliant
charge.
1.-The heaviest loss of the day was sus-
tanned by the Americans, the Fourteenth
infantry having nire killed, sixty 5unded
and two missing. The Bengal Iancers
unsuccessfully attempted to cut off the
Chinese retreat
A DEPLORABLE MISTAKE.
Another Yang Tsun special says: "Ow-
ing to a mistake. British and Russian
guns shelled the Fourteenth United States
infantry during the night, wounding
ten
Commenting upon this occurrence the
Standard says:
1T Is melancholy to learn that the loss
eS OF the Americans, who seem to have
borne themselves with conspicuous ral-
lantry, were increased by a deplorabIe
occurrence, in consequence Of which one
of their regiments was surrounded by
Russia nand British cannon The Incl
dent emphasizes the necessity of that
close cooperation which is not easily OBJ
tainable without single commander and
a general staff"
Official advices from Yokohama, dated
yesterday, say that the allies propose to
advance on Aug. to Nan Tsi Tsung, be-
tween Yang Tsun and WI Sng. The jap
anese suffered no casualties at Yang
Tsun, but the Official report says they had
300 at Pietsang.
The Daily Mails ST. Petersburg corre-
spondent declares that the taking of AL
gun has sealed the fate of Russians In
Northeast Manchuria. He adds:
mo prisoners were taken by the Rus
SLAMS. Wholesale massacre was the or
der of the day, and when the battle was
over the Cossacks rode over the field,
killing the wounded with the butt ends
OF their rifles"
ADMIRE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
Once again the press of Europe re-
marks upon the ability of the American
government to secure news ahead of the
rest of the world.
1T is to Gen. Chaffee," says the Daily
news, that we are again indebted to for
news from the front. Not single dis
patch from Sir Alfred Gasalee has thus
far been issued by the war Office
Commenting upon the American reply
to the Chinese overtures, the Daily News
says:
'4The reply is more conciliatory than
that of M. Delcasse, and in some respects
1t is a little ambiguous Still its substance
is the same 1t may be observed that the
United States government does not seem
to separate itself from the allies"

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug 13.-Accord-

of the salmon 1shermen's strike, during
which the militia was called out to pre-
vent the strikers from attacking the Jap

by accepting the terms offered by the
Gamers. The labor organizations have
appointed committees to act in the mat

be declared ineligible for membership In

All men and women eat. If they
don't, they won't last long, and no one
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very objectionable. By good
eaters | do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though | may include
some of both, but l mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either from dys-
pepsia or other form Of indigestion, to
quarrel with their food.

M. Ernest Blum told a joke which
he and some friends played on Often
bach when "La Belle Helene" was
about to be produced. The composer
was most anxious that his airs should
not get about before the first night and
had asked all his company to be most
careful not to let any one hear them,
but his tunes were so catchy that 1t
was impossible to help singing them.
One day Blum and his friends were
sitting opposite Offenbach in a cafe
when one Of them began to hum lead
ing air of "La Belle Helene"
"Who taught you thatT cried Often
bach in rage.
mo one," replied Blum. II have
known it for ages" and they all agreed
that their nurses used to sing 1t to
them when they were children. Pres
emily Albert Wolff, who was one Of the
party, began to sing another Of the
airs.
"Whatv' cried Offenbach, "you know
that tooW
81 composed it myself" said Wolff.
Offenbach then saw that they were
playing a practical Joke on him and de.
manded the name of the singer who
had sung them the opera. They re-
fused, and so the composer threatened
that he would fine every one in the
theater unless they told him. So Blum
and his friends stood up and began
the first chorus of the first act and de-
clared they would sing the finale before
the whole cafe unless Offenbach re,
Tented. The composer in terror fol
his music, gave in, beaten by his own
facility in writing music.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
We are utterly dependent and helpless
in ourselves. There is nothing we have
that we have not received. Whatever
blessings, privileges, opportunities, hap
piness we enjoy. all is the free and loving
gift of God Now let us count our mer-
cies, and surely the heart must overflow
with praise, as we recognize how God
has filed our lives to OVERLOOKING with
his goodness.
Suppose God should bestow his gifts
just in proportion as we express, OF even
feel, an appreciation for them; would we
not lose very many of the blessings that
are now ours2 Yet, to praise him with
heart and lite and voice is he only re-
turn we can offer for his goodness and
wonderful works.
SELECTIONS.
The powers of mind that make it pos
sible for us to dwell on Gods mercies are
in themselves reason why we should
not take his bounties as thoughtlesslv as
do the cattle. The fact that we can have
the conscious purpose to praise God is
cause enough to call forth such praise
Nor are the occasions for our gratitude
limited to what is now within our grasp;
the same pledges that tell us of forgiven
sin and loving Savior assures us of a
future where oeaseless love shall be the
theme of ceaseless praise.
Lord, will mean and speak thy praise, thy
praise alone;
My busy heart shall spin it all my days.
Thousands of things do thee employ
In ruling all this spacious globe,
And yet when did call thou heardest my
call
o that 1 might some other hearts convert
And so take up at use good store
That to thy chests there might be coming in
Both all my praise and more
1t is SAID that grateful American
Travelled far to visit the grave of man
who, as his substitut. ia the Civil war,
had been killei; and as token of his
gratitude he placed this inscription over
the grave: He died for me-"

o worship the King.
We praise thee, we bless thee.
Come into his presence with singing
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Come, thou almighty King.
