DEFEAT TURNED INTO VICTORY AT TEN TSNALL FORTS CAP
TURED-CHARGE OF AMERICANS.
DEARLY BOUGHT AND bRAvELY WON
ADMIRAL REMEY GIVES AME RIcAN LOSS AT 215-LI HUNG
CHANG LEAVES FOR PEKIN-H0RDEs Of ARMED
CHINESE WAITING TO STRIKE.

London, July H.--European journalists
are today indulging in a great deal Of wild
talk, crediting the powers with having de-
cided to lay Pekin in ashes, remove the
and Prince Tuan, but the writers fail to
take into account the difficulties which
would attend such undertakings. However,
the chancellors fully recognize the magni-
powers. AS matter Of fact, as has already
been pointed out in these dispatches, the
only thought for the moment of the powers
Is how best to reach Pekin. Once there,
they can be depended upon, according to
whatever penalty appears to be the most
striking and effective.
This mornings news of the success OF the
allied forces at Tien Tsin, though that sue
clear the air somewhat. This victory over
the Chinese, it is hoped, will enable the al
lies to resume preparations for an advance
especially as today it is officially announc:
ed that the Japanese force of 1900 will all
be disembarked by July 10 at the latest.
The suggestions of scattering the forces
throughout China in pursuit of the boxers
emanate wholly from irresponsible quar-
ters. In official circles there is a full reali-
zation Of the necessity Of having the coast
towns occupied and secure before proceed
ing to Pekin. The only course open to tho
powers is to remain in the capital until
fanaticism wears itself out and the ele-
mentS of an orderly native government be-
gin to emerge.
According to Shanghai dispatch pub
lished here today, 100000 Chinese troops.
armed with Mauser rifles and modern artil-
lery are encamped at three points within
40 miles Of Shanghai ready to besiege the
town in the event Of an attack by the Eu-
ropeans upon the Woo Sung forts.
According to telegram from Che Foo,
were killed in the assault upon the native
city of Tien Tsin.

AN EXCITING FIGHT

Chicago, July 1.-THE exciting specta-
Gle of two men fighting fiercely IT'S feet

ger of being plunged to certain death be-
low, was witnessed by great crowd
about the new Coliseum building

ders about on the ruof of the big struc-
ture, while j. r. Howland was at work

from above dropped and grazed his head.
Aneered, he went to the roof and aecus-
ed Collins of dropping it. They soon be-
gan to fight. The roof is only "a feet
wide and slants at an angle of 20 degrees.
The fight took place on the west side Of
the apex of the roof A misstep would
have hurleds$the combatants to certain
death on the stonework below. The at
tention of Charles Wilson, foreman in
charge of the expanded metal work, was
attracted by the struggle of the two men.
Calling to several laborers he rushed TO
the scene of the conflict. He arrived on
the scene in time to seize the fighters as
they were in imminent peril of falling
together over the edge of waiting death.

THEIR OBJECTIVE POINT.
Boxers Will Work South to the Grand
Canal.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Herald from Shanghai says:
The most serious developments of the
situation is that Chinese reports indi-
cate that the Boxers have been advised
to come south and that they intend To
make Ching Yam Po, at the head of the
Grand canal, their objective point. Five
regiments have started for that place
with the idea of gathering recruits on
the way.
This is likely to be the beginning OF
big movement directed against the ror-
eigners in the center and south of China.
An imperial edict, dated July 3, has just
been received by the viceroy and gov
ernors ordering them to begin war
against foreigners without delay, deciar-
ing that officers of all ranks who refuse
to obey the edict will be summarily tx
ecuted.
Ano .her dispatch, dated July 7, gives
information of the departure Of five regi-
ments of northern soldiers for the south
and intimates that more will follow.
The fact that troops can now be llbsr-
ated is of course, explained by the mas
sacre of all foreigners in Pekin for the
need no longer exists to keep large bodies
of men in the capital.
Many of the generals in command OF
the Yang Use district are Tartars and
Manchus and are in full sympathy witt.
the northern rioters.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Americans, British and Japs Capture
an Arsenal.

London, July II, 12:45 p. m.-The Daily
Mail today gives the Associated Press
the following dispatch from its Shang
hal correspondent under date of July II:
The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city of Tien
Tsin on the morning of July IA, and sue
ceeded in reaching the walls and captur-
ing all the forts.
The Chinese were completely routed
and the allies took possession OF the ma
tive city and it's defenses.
The total losses of the allies in the en-
gagement of Thursday. Friday and Sat
urday were about 800 killed or wounded.
The casualties were greatest among the
Russians and Japanese. The guns OF
the allies did immense damage to the
native city, causing many large conhag-
rations and finally silenced q majority
of the enemy's guns simultaneously.
Then $500 Russians, assisted by small
parties of Germans and French, assault

PROTECTING CHINESE.
Those Residing In Chicago Became
Panic Stricken.

Chicago, July 17.-No sooner had the
news spread that Chief Kipley had is
sued an order to his officers instructing
them to protect the Chinese residents of
Chicago than hundreds of them swarm
ed into the center Of the city in search
of encouragement and advice. or the
Elaundrymen and truck farmers who go
to make UP the Mongolian population OF
the city, comparatively few were aware
that trouble existed in the flowery King
domm until informed by their so-called
leaders a few days ago.
Timid to the extreme when alone, most
of the Celestials closed their places OF
business Saturday afternoon and sought
protection in the police stations. So num-
erous did they become that the police
were attracted and the result was the
order isued by Chief Ripley. The in
telligent Chinese of Chicago, who may
be counted on finger ends, have too
much faith in the power of the munich
pal, state and federal governments to
fear an outbreak in large cities, but the
rank and file, upon being apprised OF
the conditions in the Orient became ap-
prehensive that harm might befall them.
The streets included in the Chinese
quarter OF Chicago, were filled with
chattering Celestials last night. Heed
ing Chief Kipley's orders, the police were
more active than usual, but there was
no demonstration of any kind.
In regard to the order isued by Chief
of Police Ripley, Mayor Harrison, said:
1--WE have taken this step, not because
there is any trouble arising in the future
I believe that Chinese have a right to
demand protection and that is all we
are trying to give them. The police has
imperative orders on the subject and I
believe we can rely on the proper at
tention being given"

 Paris society annually looks forward to the visits of Mrs. William Astor who en- tertains exquistely and whose dinners are well known in the Faubourg St. Germafn. It is whispered that sine will not come over this winter owing to ill health, and great Is the regret that ds felt. With Mrs. John w Mackay still away, with the Bradley Martins determinedly sojourning at Bal Macaan, with the Carnegtes persfstently refusing to pay their regular visit to Paris, and vita Mrs. William Astor, the Mother of the American colony gone, the French Metropolis depends upon the advent of the wealthy and lavish American.
 As the season becomes full blown, it is noticed that the price of wearing apparel has increased, not so much the raw mate rial, though fabrics are far more elegant than last season, but the made up articles. Take 50 simple thing as the little yoke of silk and chiffon and velvet which pre- viously sold for a dollar and upwards, and from one to five francs in Paris. This now costs five francs and upward. The cou turieres, when approached for their extrav agance, shrug their shoulders and say "It Is Gods will and the will of the women. It is noticed that gowns are less of the plain colors than formerly They are of taffeta, pin-striped in all coors, and in tiny checks. silk ginghams with seed-like figures are seen in the newest of winter materials Nothing has taken the place of taffeta, which is so inexpensive and so dur able and so easily made up that it has out lived the newer and more pretentious silks

 A difficult piece of neckwear to make, vet one which Is worth the while, was eX- hibited upon a figure in a shop upon the Boulevard Haussmann. It was composed of many yards of rose pink satin rltScn about half an inch wide. The ribbon was laid in such a way that it formed folds, looking for all the world like tucked yoke. At the front the ends were fastened With tiny buttons of gold. The yoke open cd at the back under q row of points neat ly fashioned from the ribbon. At the front thcre was an immense bow Of white chif- fon. White forms the finishing touch of 50 many decorations for the neck
 But the most striking feature Of this yoke is vet to be mentioned. It consisted of epaulettes of whhe satin embroidered with gold threads, the whole edged with the tinest band of black sable.
