WHEN DOGS ARE SICK.
The Way to Give Medicine to These
Highly Sensitive Patients.

In all treatment of sick dog re-
member you are dealing with highly
sensitive and nervous patient. Be very
gentle, avoid roughness or anything
likely to alarm him. In giving him any
liquid medicine do not open his mouth,
but, placing him between your knees,
with his face looking in the same direc-
ton as your own, gently raise his jaw
and, pulling his lips away from his
teerh on one side of his mouth, to form
a cup or funnel, very slowly pour from
bottle or spoon the quantity he is to
have into it,
Keep his head raised for minute or
two and If he does not swallow the
dose insert spoon between his front
teeth. This will have the effect Of
drawing off his attention from the
medicine and he will usually swallow
at once. If the dose is pill. bolus or
anything solid. hold his head the same
way as before mentioned, but with the
left hand under lower jaw, press firmly
on each side with thumb and finger at
the junction OF upper and lower jaws
This will usually cause him to open
his mouth, when the dose should be
put into the mouth as far back as
possible over the tongue Tor he will spit
it OUT and close the jaws somewhat
sharply, and in most cases the deed is
done. If any trouble arises with the
action of his front paws this may be
got over by wrapping him round with
a shawl or coarse apron.
When once you have got into the way
Of it, you will be surprised how simple
it is. am quite sure practiced own

ANARCHY IN PEKING.
EMPEROR AND EMPRESS PRISONERS
NO HOPE FOR MINISTER'S.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Washington. July 3.-Secretary Hays only
official dispatches to-day regarding Peking were
more than ever depressing and dispelled almost
the last hope for the survival of the foreigners
there Both we're from Consul-General Good
now One bringing the news down to last
Wednesday, was:
Shanghai, July 3.
On June % there were two legations
standing. The Emperor and the Empress
DOwaGer arc prisoners in the palace. The
city gates closed. Prince Tuan and his
force of BOxers are N control of everything.
Complete anarchy in the streets
GOODNOVE.
The first dispatch received was evidently a
condensation of Sir Robert Harts message. 1t
said:
Shanghai July 2.
The diplomats and missionaries are in the
British Legation under rifle fire Cannon
command the Legation, but they are not
being used. The British. German and Italian
Legations are still standing. GOODNOW.
The desperate situation described in these dis
patches was made clear to the State Depart
ment to-1ay by an official who had spent several
years in the American Legation. Using The
Tribunes map of Peking. he pointed out that
the huge wall between the Chinese city and
the Tartar city towers thirty feet above the
legations, which are nestled directly beneath it,
From this height the mobs can pour q rain of
missiles upon the residences Of the foreign Min
listers and quickly render all OF them unnhabi-
table, particularly those of the United States,
Germany France Japan and Russia Cannon
could probably not be effectively used from the
wooden platform along the top of this wall The
BritisR Legation, being not only the strongest
and largest. but the most distant from the wall,
would probably be the last to fall II is de-
clared however, that it's buildings have nothing
like sufficient capacity to shelter one-fourth of
the foreigners who were known to be in Peking
on June 10. There would be room enough in the
grounds of the British Legation but this com
pound is easily swept by rife fire from the city
wall If the Boxers are also in control Of the
wall inclosiug the imperial city, they have COM
plete command Of the British Legation from
elevated positions on three sides, and would be
able to make short work of 1t.
After hearing this explanation the authorities
here practically abandoned hope that the for
eigners would be able TO hold out many days,
certainly not until a relief column starting now
from Tien-Tsin could reach them. for all reports
agree that the legations have already been be-
seged for more than two weeks.
Consul General Goodnow's announcement that
New-York tribune., 1900-07-04

the Emperor and Empress Dowager are pris-
oners, while Prince Tuan and the Boxers are In
complete control, is looked upon as establishing
the vexed question of a declaration Of war. 1t
shows that the Imperial Government has sue
cunbed to mob, and it strengthens the hands
of all the Viceroys who guaranteed protection
to foreigners. This view was further encour-
aged to-day by the following dispatch received

CHOICE FOR vICE-PREsIDENT.
LBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUNEI
Kansas City, Mo. July 3-Richard Croker is
said to have a suspicion that David B. Hill is
the man who secretly put the newspapers of the
State OF New-York upon the trail which led to
the discovery of his (Croker's) large holdings of
Ice Trust stock. In any case, Mr. Hill was
openly the counsel of those VINO by legal suits
restrained the Tammany Hall officials from en-
tering into a 5000 1000 contract with the
Ramapo Water Company, in whose fortunes so
many Tammany men were interested.
Possibly it was the Ice Trust revelations which
aroused Mr.. Croker's resentment toward Mr.
Hill Whatever it was. Mr.. Croker to-day saw
agely assailed MI. Hill at a meeting of the New
York State delegates to the Democratic National
Convention. and induced those delegates to set
aside Mr.. Hill. who desired election as member
of the Committee on Resolutions. Instead of Mr
Hill, the Tammany Hall chieftain put Augustus
! Van Wyck the committee.
Thus Mr.. Hill Inundated in the sight OF
the delegates to the National Convention from
all the rest Of the States Former Governor of
and Senator from the State Of New-York as he
was, Mr.. Hill was nevertheless cast aside pub
licly by the boss" Of Tamrnany Hall. and shown
no longer to control the machinery of the Demo
cratic party IN the State OF New-York Tam
many Hall also disclosed as the dominant
force in the Democratic party in the State.
TWO CIVILIZATIONS FOR Hill.
Mr. Hill suffered two humiliations The sec
ond was the rejection of Elliot Danforth. his
personal friend as the choice Of New-York
State for the nomination for Vice-Presdent
Croker named John w. Keller. of New-York
City president of the Department of Charities
and the NewYork delegation ratified his choice
Mr.. Keller win have the unanimous support of
the New-York delegates for Vice-President. His
selection by the New-York delegation was
learned Of with genera! surprise.
1t is not regarded as a serious nomination
so Tar Iamrnany Hall is concerned, but pos
s:bly Mr. Bryan, who does surprising things
may accept Mr.. Keller as his associate Gen
orally, Democratic politicians thought that Mr.
Croker by nominating Mr.. Keller sought TO
show that New-Yori> does not desire to receive
the nomination for Vice President and have any
responsibility for the approaching Democratic
campaign in the State of NeW-Ycrk.
Mr.. Keller has manifested great friendship for
Mr Bryan. and therefore perhaps that gentle
man has secretly made a combination with Mr.
Croker to bring about Mr.. Keller's nomina-
ton. Danforth was set aside by Mr.. Croker on
the express ground that he was too close" to
MI Hill. Mr. Croker perfected his combination
against Mr. Hill among the New-York delegates
late last night and early this morning. 1t

Gratis were tempted TO leave Mr.. Hill by prom

party in shutting out those who want to

London. July + q. m.-Further details re-
spectng the recent events at Picking are re-
ported this morning. It seems from The
Nails" Shanghai telegram that the British.
French and German legations were holding out
when the latest intelligence from the capital
was received. and that all foreigners of other
nationalities were congregated in the British
Legation. A heavy rife fire was being kept up
by the Chinese. and It was feared that all the
foreigners were doomed.
Prince TIan and his Boxers are now supreme
at Peking. The usurper has issued a decree,
with orders that 1t shall be circulated through
out the Empire, announcing that the patriotic
Boxers, combined with the Imperial troops
have gained numerous victories over the for
eigners, and ordering all Viceroys and Govern
ors 10 enroll and organize bodies Of recruits to
help on the work
There is no confirmation of the rumor that
the British and French Ministers have been as
Easstnated. A British officer and some sailors
were injured while endeavoring to defend the
German Minister against overwhelming num-
bers. The Germans were so enraged at the mur-
Ger that they destroyed the building of the
Tsung-li-Yamen.
The Times's' correspondent in ST. Peters
burg says the total number Of Chinese troops is
estimated by the Russian military authorities
at 1,T520o0 men. INF.

IBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUxE.I
London, July /, 1 q. m-Rumors are current
here, as well as in Paris and Berlin. that several
Ministers have been murdered in Peking. There
are dispatches from Shanghai Of the same evil
import with details of a terrible bonn bardrnent
OF the British Legation. the beheading of for
elgners in the streets. and other embellishments
The news will be bad enough when it comes
from trustworthy sources, and these premature
Chinese reports merit little attention. When
Mr.. Brodrick addressed the House Of Commons
the Foreign Office had not received any confir-
nation Of the reported assassination of the
British and French Ministers, and Sir Thomas
sanderson had contradicted several sensational
stories. There was a feeling Of utter hopeless
ness among the members Of Parliament respect
ing the China situation, and the Foreign Office
was believed 10 entertain little doubt that the
worst had happened at Peling. Proof was lack
ing. but after the murder Of the German Minister
II was difficult for anybody in Parliament to
believe that any foreigner in the capital had
survived the fury Of the military mobs.
The German Euperors speech to the marines
sailing for China was less restrained than Mr..
Brodrck's, and contained a menace Of ex-
emplary punishment and vengeance for the
murder of the Minister and the insult to the
flag. The London journals comment favOrably
upon the strong language used respecting the
walls Of Peking so that peace can be dictated
but they are not prepared TO suggest the form
IN which the vengeance Of the Powers ought to
take If all the legations destroyed The
capital might be burned Prince Tuan be
headed but IT, would be impossible to secure
conviction and punishment Of the actual muir
derers
4 veteran who was in the China service for
many years told me last night that he had no
hope that any European or American was alive
in Peklng Sir Robert Hart's message showed
that the situation was desperate eight days
ago, and there was no possibility Of holding out
IN the legations under the pressure from the
mobs Of soldiers. He was convinced that one
unspeakable horror had followed another. and
that Hassacres would be multiplied throughout
China. He described the German Minister as
complying with the usual diplomatic custom in
riding 10 the Foreign Office instead Of walking,
and inferred that his servants had deserted him
If he were unattended when attacked by the
mob. No diplomatist ever goes on foot when
on a diplomatic errand, and etiquette demands
q large retinue Of servants If the dispatches
were accurate the German Minister had merely
been discharging his functions with fidelity and
in proper form. and was not acting with bra
vado or reckessness in facing the mobs.
