LONDON, Aug. 3.-The forward move
ment for the relief of the foreign lega-
tons in Picking began Saturday, July
90. A message from Tien Tsin on that
date says that the advance guard of the
Russians occupying the Chinese camp
and the Japanese pushed up the right
bank of the Pei-Ho river without oppo-
sition. 1t was the expectation that the
whole Of the allied expeditionary force,
about 10000 men, would be on the
march by Tuesday, July 81. Sixteen
hundred Americans and 1890 British
are cooperating.
It is proposed to follow the river, using
boats to carry food, ammunition and ar
tillery. The telegraph Office at Che Foo
appears to be blocked and newspaper
and official kilograms are subject to in
definite delays.
Shanghai correspondents learn that
the Russians were defeated north OF
New Chwang and that body Of 5000
strong is endeavoring to relieve the
force besieged at Toshi Chow by 100000
Chinese and numerous guns. Four Rus
sian steamers on the AmVr river are
said to have been sunk or damaged by
the Chinese fire.
The Chinese military commanders at
Shanghai have formally notified the
foreign consuls there that the enlist
ments now proceeding are to provide
large forces for the protection Of foreign
ers and have expressed the hope that
they will not entertain groundless fears
or suspicious, adding that the increase
of the army is entirely to secure their
safety.
The smuggling of arms continues. A
Junk was seized at Canton Aug. with
10 rifles and 10000 cartridges on board
Foreigners at Macao fear an attack.
An imperial trade authorized the pas
sage Of the Bosphorus by Russian troops
with war material bound for China.
News agency dispatches dated al
Shanghai Aug. 2 say the ferocious Il
Ping Hong, formerly governor Of Shar
Tung, has arrived at Picking with large
following of troops. On the way NORTH
he killed two French priests and many
hundred converts.
Ii Hung Chang is alleged to have SEN
a message to Peking to keep Ii Ping
quiet.

Troops Have Been Ordered To
the Turbulent Region.
shenandoah Trouble Caused By Closing
Six Galleries.

Philadelphia, September 21.-The
tragedy that has been looked for since
the coal workers. strike was 1nuaguarted,
came suddenly and unexpectedly this at.
ternoon at Shenandoah.
A posse hurriedIy gathered together by
Sheriff Toole, of Schuylkiu county, to
meet an emergency, was forced to fire on
a mob that was threatening workmen on
their way home under escort. A man
and litUle girl were instantly killed and
ten others were more or less seriously
wounded. Sheriff Toole lost no time in
calling on the commander Of the national
guard of Pennsylvania to send troops to
aid him in keeping the peace. After con-
sultation, the state authorities at Harris
burg decided at midnight to send troops
to the turbulent region.
Shenandoah's S trouble was precipitated
morning, through the efforts Of strike
leaders.
More VIII close tomorrow as voluntary
move on the part of the Reading
company. This is done at the request OF
Sheriff Toole who hopes in this manner
to avoid further trouble. The outlook at
midnight, however, is dubious. Else
where in the strike region everything is
quiet, although preparations are making
for an outbreak in the Hazleton district.
The Reading company has about dis
continued the sale of coal for future de-
livery and tonight's rioting almost GER
tainly means the shutting off of coal
production everywhere in the anthracite
field temporarily, at least.

THE FIRST CLASH.
sherIn's Pos Sc Forced to Fire on Mob
of Strikers.

Shenan doah, Pa, September 21.-TwO
dead, a Hungarian miner and little
girl, and ten people, wounded by bullets
or injuries with stones thrown by the
mob, is the record of the first clash be-
tween a sheriff's posse and the striking
miners at this place this evening.
Superintendent Adam Boyd, Inside
Foreman Foley and Breaker Bosses
James and William Mitchell, of Indian
Ridge colliery at 8 80 O'Clock this after
noon, were returning home from work
when they were met at the Lehigh valley
station by a mob with sticks and stones.
The mine officials drew revo1vers and
fired. The mob became furious, after
one Of it's number was shot and attempt
ed to close in on the officials. They ran
up Lloyd street to O'Hara's stable,
where they were imprisoned for two
hours. The mob threatened to burn
the stable, but Sheriff Toole, with 20
deputies, arrived and dispersed them and
the mine officials returned to their
homes.

Awful Punishment COnhicted On Chi

nese BY CossacIzs.
New York, September 21.-Concerning
the massacre Of 5000 Chinese at BIagove-
stchensk by Russians, the Evening Post
today contains an account from G. Fred
erick Wright, one of the faculty. of Ober-
lin, Ohio, college, who was erroneously
reported killed at Pekin. The letter was
written from Stretensk, Siberia, under
date Of August 6.
Up to July / relations between Rus.
SLAMS and Chinese were cordial. Guards
which protected the Chinese eastern rail-
way through Manohuria were Cossacks
and Chinese and there was no intima-
tion of trouble until about the 1niodIe
OF Junes engineers at Telling received a
telegram that no more Iaborers could be
procured on account of the revolution.
There was considerable feeling against
the railroad. Many said it woud never
be completed, consequently many Man
churians were reluctant to work.
The Russians were largely dependent
upon the Chinese for labor and vegeta-
bIes. The Russians seemed to be obliyi
Gus to danger in their relations with the
Chinese. All was quickly changed. AS
soon as the Russian troops went down
the river on transports July IA, the fort
Aygun began without warming, to fire
upon passing steamboats, and, on the
10Th, fire was opened upon BlagOvest-
chensk and some Russian villages were
burned oppsIte the fort. The actual in
jury inflicted by the Chinese was slight,
but the terror caused by it was inde-
scribable, and it drove the Cossacks in
to frenzy of rage. The peaceabIe Chi
nese, to the number of 5000 or LOCO in
the city were expelled in great haste,
and, being forced upon RATS entirely in
adequate. where most of them drowned
in attempting to cross the river. The
stream was fairly black with the bodies.
Three days after, hundreds Of them
were counted in the water. Mr.. Wright
says:
''In our7ride through the country to
reach the city on Thursday, the 18th, we
saw as many as 30 villages and hamIets
of the Chinese in flames. Ons ofEthem
was city of 5000 or 10, 600 inhabitants.
We estimated that we saw the dwell ings
of 90, 600 peaceab1e Chinese In flames that
awful day; while parties of Cossaoks
were securing the fields to find Chinese
and shooting them down at sight. What
became of the women and children no
one knew; but there was apparently no
way for them to escape to a place of safe
ty. On our way up the river for 500
miles above the oity, every Chinese ham
let was a charred mass OF ruins The
large village OF Motcha was still smok-
Ing and we were told that 1000 Chinese
had been killed. The wholesale destruc-
tion, both OF property and Of life, was
thought to be a military necessity. T.
shall never forget the night spent in one
OF these yilIagesa few miles below Ay-
gun, three or four days after hostilities
began. Every household was packed up
in carts and removed in the middle of
the night to the prairies In the interior.
The guards were insufficient and the
only way,as they thought, to protect their
own families, was to strike terror into
the hearts of alIythe Chinese. And SO the
work of destruction has gone. Since we

OUTBREAKS FEARED.

Hazleton, Pa, September 21.-The Lee
high region today seemed to concern it.
self more about the possibility of trouble
than any one thing. Wherever one went
in this district, the belief was general
that an outbreak would occur. This-feeI-
ing was no doubt produced by the dis
turbances at Shenandoah and the arrival
in Hazleton and on the north side, of
large numbers of deputies who are said to
be prepared for any emergency. The
deputies who arrived at Freeland, 10
miles north of here, during the night
from WiIkesbarre, are said to number
about 200. They were distributed along
the public road between kFreeland and
Jeddo. There were fewer cases of vio-
Ience today than on yesterday when the
mine workers in various parts of this sec
tion were attacked on their way to and
from work.
AS to the strike situation itself, there
was no noticeable change today. Both the
operators ana the strike leaders claim
they have made decided gains. President t
Mitchell today issued figures showing
that out of II, 475 mine workers in HazIe-
