ANARCHISTS TO BE TAKEN FROM
HAYMARKET SQUARE

Chicago July Il (Spec,aD.-The riot monument
erected in Haymarket Square in memory of the
policemen killed there in 1856 by the Anarchists is
being removed 10 Union Park. At recent meeting
Of the West Park Board the shaft offered 10

only condition attached that proper loca-
tIon be given the monument and that it be cared
for.
Some time ago business along West Ran
aoph-st. between Desplaires and Halsted SITS
luested the West Park Commissioners to take the
monument in charge, as ii was being defaced. The
iron fence about it broken down and there
danger the monument itself would be injured.
The Commissioners took the proposition under
advisement. but when the city officials joined in
the request they no longer hesitated The cost of
the work will be borne by the business along
Haymarket Square. The last vestage of the ruined
fence has been removed, and huge granite blocks
loosened. The heroic figure Of a policeman com
manding peace lies in the grass. The statue
will occupy a site in Union Park West Ran

closed with the silence of the Peking legations
unbroken and with the war in South Africa
dragging on at a heavy cost in blood and

The British Consul-General at Shanghai in re-
peating the message Of the Governor Of Shan
Tung Province has expressed the opinion that
there can be little doubt respecting the fate Of
the foreigners in the capital This is the closest
approach to news from Peking which has been

beated information from Tien-Tsin describing
in detail the earlier stages Of the Chinese at
tack upon the foreign quarter and the effective
Chinese artillery practice against the Russians
and the French during heavy rainstorm. There
are also two dispatches Of later date from
Russian sources stating that the telegraph ser
vice with Taku had been restored; that the rail-
way was under repair, and that the allied forces
were fortifying Tien-Tsin and strengthening
their line Of communications with the seaboard
There was little else of Importance at a late
hour. The projects at the ports had ceased to
invent stories of all kinds and were holding their
tongues. not knowing officially what had hap
pened at the capital, and fearing the occupation
OF the seaboard by the European forces.
One fact Of paramount Importance was the
silence Of the Ministers Their last message was
sent twenty days ago.
Ihere has been slight improvement in the
situation at Tien-Tsn but there is no prospect
OF an advance movement for month or six
weeks, until reinforcenents have been received
on large scale. These additional forces will
include nearly fifty thousand troops from India,
Germany, France and Italy. Russian troops
are already in notion but there is no official
