The Lecturer. Blunder.

One of the institutions of New York that are praised by all the public with out reserve Is the course of free lec- lures in the public schools. These lec- lures are given before splendid audi ences and, as rule, by persons of veracity and intelligence. Occasion ally, however, in order to get lecture on rare subject great risks are run.
 Recently a lecture was given by a person who had been on an excursion to the North cape. Among other won- derful things he saw there was the eclipse of the sun. He gasped for breath as he told of the weirdly grand sight. He told of the streamers of fire that blazed from the obscured orb to all quarters of the heavens. But his frenzy carried him too far for a public school audience, for he declared that among the stars made visible in the midst of day he saw the planets cir cling in their courses. He even called the planets that he saw by name, but he made a fatal mistake. He said he saw Neptune.
 This statement called for round of sarcastic applause that he mistook for commendation. for he smiled in Q hap py way as it echoed through the halls. Evidently he did not know that Nep- tune is invisible except with the most powerful telescope.-New York Mail and Express.

The Forbidden City Bombarded.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Pekin COM
prises four cities in one. In extent Of
era it is about the size of New York
city. The four segments of it are the
Chinese city, the Tartar city, the I'm
perial city and the Forbidden city.
The last is the Inner city," mentioned
in Admiral Remey's dispatch, and is
the residence of the emperor and the
seat of the imperial court. Nobody is
allowed within its massive walls, ex-
cept by special permission of the en-
peror or empress dowager. The for
eigners who have entered its gates are
comparatively few in number. The
Imperial city is occupied only by the
highest Chinese officials and members
and attaches of the imperial court.
Further information as to the report
ed bombardment will be awaited with
keen interest

MORE EAGERNESS TO BUY.
More Buyers Visit Eastern Mar
kets Than Usual.
BOTTOM PRICES REACHED.

New York. Aug. 2o.-R. 6. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says: After
= great wave of advancing prices OPP
timism as to business is generally dan
gerous. But the top was reached the
middle of March, since which time re-
action has come in every great indus
try, SO that consumers are asking
whether in some directions the decline
may have not been reaSona bly, large as
was the advance and whether buying
on the present basis of prices is not
fairly sure. There are fresh evidences
of weaknesses in raw materials, no.
tably the break in structural iron, but
each one is awaited of to place heavy
contracts. New York Is welcoming
buyers from all over the country in
larger numbers than for many years at
this season. in dry goods. in groceries,
in jewelry and in hardware, and if
contracts are not placed to as large
volume as expected it is because of
the conservatism of those who think
they may compel some further shading
of prices. Reports this week from
other important points of distribution
show the same eagerness to buy when
the time seems right
1t is becoming more apparent that
the bottom has been reached in prices
of iron and steel The decline was
severe and the recovery must be slow,
but gradual advance and moderately
increasing activity are more healthy
than violent changes. In no single
division is the improvement more stri-
king than in any other. Except steel
rails all forms of iron from the ore to
the finished product are being sought
more eagerly and with less effort to
secure further concessions in prices.
The first effect of the official report of
wheat conditions indicating a total
crop of 513, 997, 900 bushels, was to
strengthen prices, but when the sec
rotary of agriculture was reported as
predicting dollar wheat" before the
end of the year the market showed an
inclination to disagree. and the Sep
TENDER option fell below so cents at
New York for the first time in two
months.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-The United
States declined even to consider 3he
proposition of Ii Hung Chang for a
halt and an armistice at Tung Chau.
Even the supreme appeal of the VEN
cradle Chinese statesman that the
Chinese empire would be shaken by an
advance of the allies beyond Tung
Chow was not needed The answer of
the United States is that our position
is the same now as it has been from
the outset, namely, that the ministers
must be delivered at the walls of
Pekin, and in such circumstances as
will meet the judgment of the military

Allies Fight Their Way Into Pekin
With Losses.
SURROUNDED LEGATIONS.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The allied
Pekin in the face of the most obstinate
resistance, and the members of the
foreign legations are safe. Official
confirmation of the fall of the Chinese
capital came to the United States de-
partment in the shape of two cable
to hand first, and another very soon
after that by Fowler. Admiral Re-
mey's dispatch is as follows:
Bureau of Navigation, Washington
Just received telegram from Tien
Tsin dated 10Th, 10 p. m. 'Pellin was
captured on August 10. Foreign lega-
tions are safe. Details follow shortly
(Signed) "REMEY''
That. from Consul Fowler giving
important details of the occurrences at
the time. Of the capture of the city, was
given out in the subjoined official
statement:
Secretary of State. Washington
Japanese Admiral reports allies at
tackled Pekin, east 18th. Obstinate
resistance. Evening Japanese entered
| capital with other forces. Immediate
ly surrounded legations. Inmates

800. (Signed) FOWLER"
Previous information which has been
received here showed that the allied
armies took possession of Tung Chow
on the 18th instant. From that city
to Pelzin the distance is not very great,
not more than dozen miles. 1t seems
evident, therefore, that the armies
halted for a time at Tung Chow, proba-
bly, for the purpose of giving the men
a rest and preparing for the attack
upon the capital city in force after
waiting until the rear of the advan-
| cling hosts should arrive at the front.
