Contest in Orient No Longer Confined to
the Boxers.
/ WASHINGTON, June 24.-The follow
ing cablegram from Admiral Kempff
was received late yesterday afternoon
at the navy department:
'CHE Foo, June DIFFERENTIATION
issued Goth: The admirals and senior
naval officers OF the allied powers in
China desire in the name of their gov
ernments to let 1t be known to all vice
roys and the authorities of coast and
river provinces and cities in China that
they intend to use armed force only
against the Boxers and those people
who oppose them in the march to
Picking for the rescue of their fellow
countrymen."
Admiral Kenpff's message is of i'm
portance, as showing the present atti-
tude of the powers represented in Chi
nese waters. 1t indicates that for the
present at least they are operating in
harmony for the release of the foreign
ers who are confined in the Chinese
capital, and that they are taking ac-
tive steps by means of proclamation
to have this fact become known to the
peaceably inclined Chinese. Officials
here interpret the proclamation as a
conciliatory measure and believe it
calculated to restore the confidence of
the Chinese people in the pacific inten-
tions of the powers.

RUSSIANS ATTACK PICKING

heliet fOrce arrived just In tho NICK
of Time.
LONDON, June 20.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express
says:
''The Russian relieving force arrived
outside of Picking this morning and
Immediately began to attack the city
on two sides, employing numerous ar
tillery. The force apparently arrived
in the nick of time, for the Chinese
assert that the attack upon the lega-
ton had been successfully renewed.
On the night of June 16 the Chinese
troops under Generals Tung Fab Slang
and Tung Ching attacked the legations
and set on fire five European buildings.
Nothing definite is known as to the
result, except that the Chinese were
disappointed, although other reports,
utterly discredited by foreigners here,
are that the Chinese, lnfuriated by the
destruction of Taku, have since mas
sacred all the foreigners in Picking"
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French.
as we'll as the German minister had
been killed. The English at Shanghai
think that the Chinese had foreign ad-
visers in organizing the defense at
Talsu, because of the precision with
which their attack was delivered.
The wires connecting with the har-
Dor mines were cut by the boats OF the
warships the night before the bonn
bardment. 1t is now reported at
Shanghai that it was on board the
Russian crusier Korietz, and not the
Mandschur. that the explosion oc-
Cured, killing and wounding more
than fifty. 1t is reported that no
fewer than 700 Chinese were killed in
the forts.
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Daily Express says he is officially in
formed that japan is mobilizing 25,-
900 men for immediate transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted ar
rived at Shanghai yesterday, cleared
for action, and took up position COM
manding the Chinese forts. There
are three Chinese cruisers in the har-
Dor.

Bishop Potter pays high tribute to
the character and qualities of the rank
and file of our army in Manila. He
says, in effect, that no one who has
seen our soldiers in the Philippines,
and has noted their splendid physique,
their attention to duty, and the high
average of intelligence existing among
them, can, fail to have an increased
pride in our army and a profound faith
In their capability to do whatever is
required of them. He saw our soldiers
in many places, under all varieties of
circumstances, during his stay in Ma
Mia, but not one among them who
reflected discredit upon himself or his
country.

May Result In Murder.

Sioux CITY, June 2a.-An assault
that may result in murder was COM
mitted on Frank Kelly down in the
packing house district. He was stab
bed several times, once badly, in the
head, and from this wound death is
likely to come. The police have made
two arrests, two brothers, John and
w. A. Condron, having been taken into
custody to answer for the assault.
Kelly recently came from Chicago to
work in one OF the packing houses.
He was almost an entire stranger, and
had no epemies as far as is known.
When assaulted, however, he was in
the company of Frank Bent, against
whom the Condrons had a grievance,
because he owed them money. They
demanded the money of Bent and a
fight followed, in which Kelly was
injured. Bent was also slightly hurt.

Senator Davis of Minnesota Says Chinese
Situation IL Serious.
PHrLADELPHIA, June 22.-1n the
opinion of Senator Davis of Mime
apolis, chairman of the senate com
mittee on foreign affairs, the situation
in China is even more grave than the
published dispatches would indicate,
and may develop into an international
problem such as the powers have not
had to deal with in many years
mo man can tell what win come
out of the present situation in China,
said Davis. 81 shall be agreeably dis
appointed IL the immediate conse-
quences do not result in complications
which 1T will take years to straighten
out. Moreover, generations to come
may find that in awakened China the
western world has brought into eX-
istence a giant which will insist upon
taking part in affairs at inopportune
moments. 1t seems inevitable that
China will be partltioned. Certainl v
the acting empress will be dethroned.
This cannot be done without war,
which will probably repeat itself many
times. 1t must be remembered. too,
that in China lives fully one-fourth of
the worlds population. If we force
upon the yellow race our methods, and
in China they are accepted as readily
as they have been in Japan, we will
create force which will be sure to
work great influence upon the future
history of the world. look on the
present crisis as more important than
any that has arisen since our own
civil war"

The British government appears to
be responsible for the famine in India,
or at least to have made the famine
possible, through the very beneficence
OF its rule. Before the British occu-
patton, incessant wars and terrible cpl
denies kept the country thinly popu-
lated, so that the natural products of
the soil were usually sufficient to feed
the inhabitants. But British rule has
established peace and diminished the
ravages of plague. The consequence
has been such an increase of popula-
ton that India is one Of the most
crowded countries in the world. The
productivity of the soil has nearly
reached its limit. Nevertheless, the
British government is not to be
blamed, unless we adopt the mons
trous doctrine that wholesale massacre
is a blessing

The marriage of the Crown Prince q

The marriage Of the Crown Prince OF
Japan to his cousin seems to have
been a mixture of Japanese and Euro.
pean ceremonies. Thus, the bride and
bridegroom were married in the an
cient court dress, and afterwards don
ned western costume, and there was a
wedding breakfast with wedding cake
The actual marriage ceremony in ia
pan is very simple. Its distinguishing
feature is what is termed the San-san
Ku-do-that is, literally, three times
nine times" because both the bride
groom and the bride drink three times
out of each OF three wine-cups of diff
ferent sizes, making nine times in all
or, rather, they do not drink. but only
lift the cups to their lips. The wine
is sake, mild alcoholic liquor.
