THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The advance of the allied troops from
Tientsin has begun and they are report
ed to have met with a reverse at the
outset.
Definite news of the advance has
come to M. Faveresu, Belgian Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, in cablegram from
the Belgian representative at Taku
This message states that the allies have
already covered Is miles of the rs be-
tween Tientsin and Pekin. Another
dispatch Gays that the Japanese van
guard of the allies has been reported re-
pulsed with loss of $50 in killed add
wounded.
About 10000 troops, it is estimated
in London, were available at Tientsin
for the advance. Thirty thousand
more have landed at Taku and Chefoo,
but have not yet gotten to Tientsin.
Kogoro Takahira, Japanese Minister
to the United States, says Japan's coD-
tingent for Chinese service will number
%, 900 men. According to the National
Zsltung, oil Berlin, the German contiD-
gent at TieDtsin numbers BIZ. 300.
A letter dated July "a from Sir
Claude Macdonald, British minister at
fekin, has come through. He said
that If the Chinese did not press the al
tack the foreigners could hold out ten
days. The Pekin government, be add
ed, had done nothing to help the for.
eigDers.
DR.. George E. Morrison, the London
Times correspondent in Pekin, has
managed to send message to his pa
per under date OF July 81. He SAYS
the Chinese government encouraged
the boxers until the advance OF the a.
lies from Taku caused change of tune.
Baron Won Ketteler, be states, was
murdered by order OF a Chinese impe-
rial officer.
DR.. Robt. Coltman, .,of the Chicago
Record, now n Pekin, has been hear
from under date of July 81. He says
the foreigners were Lying on rice and
horsehesh. A truce was in force after
long period of fighting. The United
States marines, commanded by Captain
Myers, hold vi al position on the city
wall and had fought like heroes.
1t 10 now beginning to appear clear y thai
II the ministers in PEEK n are saved 1t will be
chiefly due to Ii Hung Chang. He has MEM
oriaized the throne to have the ministers e.
corted out Of Pekin to a place OF safety CT
that they be allowed to communicate freely
with their governments. Ii is using all his
great influence at this time in behalf OF the
foreigners. A letter from Hong KoOg states
that Ii Hung Change preserved order in
Canton by reign Of terror among the unIuy
element, Furnishing suspects unspsringly, and
behesding or strsngliDg as many as seventy
in one week.
The Novoe Vremys, St. Petersburg news
paper which frequently echoes the sentiments
OF the Russian Foreign Office, advocates an
alliance between Russia and the United
States in China, for the settlement of the
Chinese crisis.

A mystery has been cleared up by
the fiudiug today of the body OF John
Trader who disappeared from his home
in Port Elizabeth, N. j., last March and
was never again seen alive. The belief
that Trader was murdered Is confirmed
by the folding of the body. The head
was cut of. The body was discovered
In Iudicott's swamp near BridgetoD,
NJ. Search is being made for the
head. A man named John Hand, wto
was with Trader the night before he
disappeared, is in jail there for minor
offense. 1t is suspected that he knows
something of Traders murder.

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 2 To-day will
decide the fate of negro suffrage in
North Carolina. Practically every man
in the State went to the polls armed
and only slight disturbance is needed
to lead to a general riot all over the
State. Three men shot, one fatally
cut and another badly beaten is the
record OF Wednesdays political
fights in the State. Not a day
nas passed in the last week but

will follow. At Selma riots were re-
newed yesterday. Tom Massey, popu-
list, while speaking against the suffrage
amendment wac dragged from the

more conducive to footing than soldier
life, especially in foreign countries and

THE DEAD HUMBERT.

The King and Queen OF Italy arrived
at Mona yesterday afternoon. Asym-
pathetic crowd silently saluted them al
the railway station. A touching dem
onstration of welcome was disturbed by
two anarchists who shouted "Vivs AN
arcbiel" and were arrested, narrowly
escaping lynching. The King and Queen
drove in a carriage to the castle, WHENCE
ell the guests and officials had departed,
leaving the family alone, to receive the
King. 1t is stated the Dowager Queen
threw herself into her sons arms, sob
bling distressioRly. Upon entering the
death room the King knelt and kissed
his father. He remained with his wife
and mother praying for hal an hour.
According to the "Tribuna" the order
for the murder OF King Humbert eman
ated from the London anarchist COM
mittee. Many anarchists arrived
simultaneously in Italy all bent on the
same errand. According to the news
paper an attempt TO assasinate the King
was made at Naples on July 10, but the
police hushed it up.
An ex-poiicemsn named Menozzi,
who arrested Reggie, who some years
ago attempted to kill he King, affirmed
some days ago previous to the assassin
a ion that was it impending.
Queen Msrgherita has sent the fol-
lowing reply to telegram of sympathy
from Cardinal Frisco, Archbishop OF
Naples:
MAY God hear your prayer that l
be given strength to bear up against
ny troubles. How great my sorrow il!
My heart finds no comfort, no consula
ton to migrate my misfortune except
in divine grace and resignation"
The message Is signed "Margherita,

NEW EXPRESS COMPANY.
Will Be Bidding for Southern
Trade by January I.

The announcement of the organiza-
ton OF new express company TO bid
for the southern trade after January
is pleasing bit of news, and creates
considerable interest everywhere.
A charter is now being drawn and
when completed according to law The
new company will enter the field.
1t is understood that the capital OF
the company will be $4,000, 900, furnish
ed by Pennsylvania and Georgsans.
This should be enough for start.
If the plans of the promoters go
through there will be a warm contest
next year for business against the
Southern Express Company, which has
monopolized the field so long it would
hardly know how to do otherwise.
There is nothing like competition.
though none can complain ofthe South
erns excellent service. If the new
company will haul cheaper-and ii
probably will, if it does not catch the
contagi0n to want the earth-it will
get the business. If it will begin with
a reduction of rates and pay the rev
enue stamp taxes on its shipments
without law suit it will shake up the
old dry bones wonderfully and win
from the start the patronage and good
wishes of the general public.

MOST POPULAR GRAVE DIGGER
New Jersey Furnishes an Oddly for the
Amusement of the World.

There are all kinds of popular men
in this happy nation-popular politi-
clans, popular actors, popular bartend-
ers, popular BARRIERS. And now New
Jersey, never to be outdone in furnish
ing oddities for the amazement of the
rest of the world, has brought forth
the strangest of all the popular men.
BY an Overwhelming vote Of his adj
miring fellow-citizens at the fair for
the Old Peoples Home in Turn Hall,
Union Hill, Saturday night, George
BRAKEMAN received this proud title;
"Tbe Most Popular Grave digger in
New Jersey"
1t is understood that so great is the
admiration for Brakeman that all who
know him have entered into an iron
clad agreement to be buried by nobody
else.
There is only one Offset to the deep
Joy of the most popular grave digger.
The prize awa rded to him is hardly
consOnant with the solemnity of death
1t is a live, red-headed pig.
