Steam VS.. Electricity.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, July lit developed
here to-day that the steam railroads have
drawn the line'' against the electric rail-
ways, and refuse ito neighbor' with them.
F.. G. Boyde. travelling passenger agent for
the Glover Leaf. was in Anderson arrang-
ing for the transportation of Anderson
knights of Pythias to the Detroit conclave
and e~ncampment, and it was at this con-
ference that the position of the steam rail-
roads was shown. The Anderson knights
had decided to go to Marion via the Inter-
urban, and from there to Toledo via the
Clover Leaf. Mr.. Boyde suggested that
such an arrangement could hardly be af-
fected, as the steam roads were not making
traffic arrangements with the electric lines.
The fare from Anderson to Marion and re-
turn is 20 cents, and via the Big Four 80,
but the special agent agreed to make the
same terms to the knights provided they
patronized the Big Four to Marion instead
of the Interurban. This is not wholly I'M
expected, as other advances have not met
with a friendly spirit.

miral Bendemann has reported that the at
tack upon the Chinese was successful. but
not wholly so. one fort remaining uncap-
tured.
Referring to the suggestion for an inter-
national conference I'm the German press,
the official said: Such a plan has not yet
been preached by the powers. A confer
ence Is not necessary at this state OF de-
~velopments, inasmuch as an interchange OF
views between Cabinets is the quickest way
to reach an agreement on measures for
common action In China.
When asked whether the massacre at Pc
king had caused a change in the attitude
OF my power the official replied: 1T has
not. and no fresh interchange of views has
been called forth in consequence
The official added: THE massacre has not
altered Germany's policy in China. but has
confirmed IT."
Referring to the expected departure of
DR.. Mumm Won Schwarzenstein, the new
German minister 10 China the official said
his destination would be Tsing-Tau, ana
his duties for the present TO observe the
situation and report TO the German gov
ernment When asked to whom Mr.. Mumm
would be accredited, the official answered:
I the Chinese government, IL one ex-
lists"
The volunteer troops for the China ex-
peditionarmy corps have begun moving
from the garrisons in Berlin, Dresden,
Cassel, Strasburg and Dantzig toward the
ports of embarkation. The statement in
the foreign press that Emperor William
has arranged with the Car for the trans
portatiOn of German troops by way of the
Kruz Zeitung as absurd, since the railway
is not ready for such heavy demands and
the troops would require from six to seven
weeks by that route.

which IL is claimed Welty was the ag-
gressor. Officer Kirkman appeared, and an
instant later Kirkman and Welty drew
revolvers and began firing. The police
mans first shot shattered Welty right arm,
causing him to drop the revolver. Two
bullets went through Welty's arm and one
cut a cash in his scalp. Welty was taken to
Jail. where his injuries are being treated.
kirkman, who claims self-defense, has not
been arrested. The shooting occurred in

clear at his trials. Welty is a detective,
we'll known throughout the north and CEN

THE SUCCESSFUL FIGHT.
Details of the Battle Of Saturday Last
mt Tien-Tsin.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily Mail to-
day gives the Associated Press the follow
ing dispatch from its Shanghai correspon-
dent, under date. of July II:
1.-The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city of Tien-Tsin
on the morning of July IA. and succeeded
in preaching the walls and capturing all
the forts.
1.-The Chinese were completely routed,
and the allies took possession of the native
city and its defenses.
gagements of Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday were about 500 killed or wounded.
The casualties were greatest among the
Russians and Japanese"
The guns of the allies did immense dam
age to the native city, causing many large
CONGREGATIONS. and finally silenced the ma
jority of the enemys guns simultaneously.
Then 1,5O0 Russians, assisted by small par
ties OF Germans and French, assaulted and
captured eight guns that were in position
on the railway e~mbdpkment and the fort,
the magazine of which the French subse-
quently blew up. A body of American,
British. Japanese and Austrian troops then
made a sOrtfe and attacked the west arse
nal, which the Chinese had %reoccupied.
After three hours of the hardest fighting
yet experienced the Chinese fled.
When the arsenal had been evacuated
by the Chinese the Americans, French,
Japanese and the Welsh Fusiliers advanced
toward the native city and joined with the
other attacking forces. The Japanese in
fantry and a mounted battery advanced to
the foot OF the walls, supported by the
Americans and French. Despite valiant
attacks, the allies were only able TO hold
the positions gained outside the walls, pre-
paratory to renewing the assault in the
morning.
The casualties sustained by the allies
were exceedingly heavy, especially those
to the Americans. French and Japanese.
Several explosions in the native city were
caused by the bombardment.
The Chinese appear to have exhausted
their supply of smokeless powder, as they
are now using black powder.
