OWER ST4TE STREET ST4RTLED
By Il Naked Man Jumping From a Third
 Story Window.

Pedestrians on State street just below George street were surprised about 9 o'clock last evening to see a man stark naked sail through the air in front of the store of No. 139 State street, strike the awning in front of the store on the lower floor and roll off upon the sidewalk. Patroman John Gilligan while on his rounds happened to look into a room on the third floor of the building and as he looked in he was seen by a man who was one of the occupants of the room. The man bolted for the front window and leaped from 1t. He fell about twenty feet when he struck the awning. He bounded from the awning and struck the sidewalk with such force as to stun him. Gilli- gan took him into the hallway and was about to send for the ambulance when the man revived and appeared to be not much injured. He was ordered to dress and after he had done so he was taken to police headquarters anu locked up on charge of lascivious carriage. He gave the name of Peter Reilly. A woman about thirty years old who gave the name of Flora E. Bailey was also arrested at the same place in the room from which Reilly jumped and she was charged with the same offense.

WORD FROM BRITISH ENVOY.
Legations Eating Ponies-Edtct That
 They Were Snfe July 2s. ..

They were Snfe July 2S. 1 London, Aug 2-4 a. m.--Another let
 ter has been received at Tien Tsin from
 the British minister, Sir Claude Mac Donald, dated July 24 We are sur
 rounded by imperial troops" he writes | "who are firing on us continuously The enemy is contemplating, but cowardly | We have provisions for about a fort night and are eating our ponies. The Chinese government, if there be one has done nothing whatever to help us If the Chinese do not press the attack
 we can hold out for, say, ten days. No
 time should be lost if terrible massa- ere is to be avoided
 A Shanghai special says that Iii Hung
 Chang has received a decree, dated July 2S, commanding him to inform the con-
 suls that the ministers were safe on that date Evidently Sir Claude Mac Donald was over-pess mistic, as pr. Morrison, under date of July 21, an- nounces the arrival of supplies. In view of this 1t is quite within reason that the edict announcing the safety of the ministers on the 2Sth is correct.
 Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter, while strong indictment of the Chi
 nese government, Is not nearly so mach
 so as Dr. Morrison's dispatch, That correspondent, with the imperial edicts as authorities, declares that as late as July 21 the imperial government urged
 the Boxers to continue their loyal and
 patriotic services in exterminating the
 Christians. He explains those marvel ous changes in the Chinese attitude
 which have so puzzled the world. It appears that all the appeals for inter- vention and all the protestations of friendship have been due entirely to the victories of the allies at Tien Tsin. The ministers in Pekn owed their safety up to July 21, not to government protec- tion, but to scarcity of Chinese ammu- milton and to the fear which the Tien Tsin victories inspired.
 When it is remembered how great re- liance is placed upon Dr. Morrison in England the importance of his exposure of the Chinese government can scarce ly be everestimated It seems to banish all hopes entertained by Lord Salisbury that the Chinese government might yet be proved not directly responsible for the outrage, and it may result in an en- tire cessation of the negotiations with Chinese diplomatists if not in an open declaration of war on the part of the powers.
 General Sir Alfred Gazelee is quoted as saying on July 28 that he was ready to advance, although lacking in artil- lery. Colonel Daggett, commanding the Americans at Tien Tsin, is also credited with a similar statement on the same date, although utterly without trans portation, not even having a horse for himself. Reinforcements are reported to have been sent to the Chinese at Yang Tsun, where strong entrench- ments have been thrown up to bar the advance of the allies.

PEKIN GOVERNMENTS TACTICS.
Wishes to be Absolved in Advance for
 What Has Occurred.

"ishes to DC ApSOkVed In Advance TOT What Has Occurred.
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The Chinese im- perial government is putting forth the most powerful efforts to secure through negotiation the abandonment of the in- ternational movement on Peldn. The
 cablegrams received at the state de-
 partment to-day from Earl Lii Hung Chang all tend to demonstrate his de- sire to secure the succor of the minis ters at Pekin and their delivery at Tien Tsin, if this can be safely effected, trusting that in return the internation- al column can be halted. Unquestiona- ply proper assurance of the safe de. livery of the ministers would have some effect upon the temper of the powers, and it is possible that the United States government would give ear to overtures in that direction were not the attempt made by the Chinese to impose condi- tions upon the delivery that are alto- gether obJectionable Such, for instance, is q stipulation that the Chinese impe- rial authorities shall be absolved in ad- vance from the consequences of the att tempt and for liability for what has taken place in Pekin. The first stipu- lation might be regarded as q direct in- vitation to the Boxers to murder the ministers on their way to the coast and therefore our government will leave it to Mir Conger himself whether or not he regards it as safe to leave Pekin when the opportunity is held out.

The first two events were de- clded Ill straight heats, In the 2:lG pace Hetty G. was almost prohibitiye favorite and won with ease. The surprise of thls race was the distancing of Sidney Pointer, the choice for second place in the first heat. Hetty G. showed great speed, pacing the last quarter of the third heat in 29A. Coney, the speedy black geldlng who was barred in the betting, won the 2:OS pace without any apparent effort. The judges suspected Free Bond was not being driven out, but Miller, who was behind the geld ing, declared the horse could not go faster. The 2;19 trot furnished all the excitement and was the best race of the day. It was won by Palm Leaf. Onward Silver with Geers. up was fayorite in the betting, but lost through inability to keep, his gait the favorite first under the wire in the sec. ond by q magnificent drive.
