Ii WILL NOT GO TO PEKINo.
Anti-Foreign Party Again In Control
and He Asks Sick Leave.


LONDON, Aug 6.-The anti-foreign
party again has the upper hand at Pc
king. According to reports emerging
from Lii Hung Changes lodgings at
Shanghai, his baggage is packa& prepare
tory to his departure for Picking, hut, it
is added, he has applied to the throne
for 30 days sick leave. Lii Hung Chang
claims that his report to the Yang Use
viceroys and Taotai Shen will be de-
nounced by Ii Ping Hong because they
are friendly to the foreigners.
A news 2 e ncy dispatch from Shang-
hal says it Wrumored that the powerful
viceroy, Yuan Shi Kai, governor of
Shan Tun, who disapproved of Prince
Tuan, has been killed.
Correspondents at Tien Tsin are un-
able to get anything fresh, though a
dispatch from Shanghai, dated Aug. 6,
AYERS that the allies are making slow
progress toward Picking on account of
the differences of opinion among the
generals The American, British and
Japanese commanders favor one plan,
the dispatch affirms, and the Russians,
French and German favor another.
Prince Tuan, it is added, seeks to in
spire his army by orders urging that
every foot of the road from Tien Tsin
to Picking be disputed. All the Chinese
troops have evidently been placed in
command and their supplies are going
to Picking from the southern provinces.
It is deemed quite probable by military
men in London that the Chinese will
make fierce fight at Picking on a much
greater scale than during the defense OF
Tien Tsin.

TO MAKE A RECONNAISSANCE.
Allies Send a Force of 1900 Men
Against General Maa.


Against General Maa.
TEN TsIN, Aug. 6.-The allies are to
make a reconnaissance at once, starting
with 1000 men against General Maa' s
army.
The Fourteenth United States infan-
try has arrived. Preparations for the
advance on Picking are being pursued.
A large number of native boats have
been commandered. All the lighters
have been seized, which will stop bust
ness with Tien Tsin.
Boxers are raiding villages south of
Tien Tsin. One thousand Mohamme-
dams have been massacred.
It is reported that the Chinese have
made overtures to ransom the Peking
diplomats and close the war.
The emperor and dowager empress are
believed to be still in Picking. Their
flight or death would produce a great
change, The Chinese, now silent or
normally loyal, will become progressive
when they have nothing more to fear.
The fate of those who have heretofore
dared to utter pro-foreign sentiments,
terrifies even the semi enlightened off,
Gals. Chang Yen, son of a former
Chinese minister to Washington, is still
exiled.
Lii Hung Chang has not put in an ap-
pearance at Tien Tsin. His former res
idence, where he received General Grant
and other notables, is occupied by the
Cossacks.
Large quantities of bar silver were
taken from the native city. The Amer
leans and Japanese are said to have
about /, 800, 900 ounces each of the gov
eminent treasure. The Russians have
placed their flag upon the salt piles.

ALABAMA STATE ELECTION.
Democratic Leaders Claim Majority
In Every County.

In Every County.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 6. = Ala
bama's state election was held today for
the purpose of choosing a governor, state
officers, members of the legislature and
county officers. A light vote was polled,
except in about Is or 10 counties, where
the contest for control of county and
legislative offices has been warm be-
tween the Democrats and Popuhsts and
Republicans. These are counties which
have heretofore gone against the Democ-
racy. In nearly all the assuredly Dem
ocratic counties the opposition. to the
Democratic ticket was weak, the legis-
lative tickets of the DEMOCRATS being
unopposed.
There were four state tickets in the
feld-the Democratic headed by Col
onel w. J. Sanford of Opelika, the Re-
publican headed by Judge John A.
Steele of Tuscumbia, the Populist led by
DIR. G.. B. Grove of Birmingham and
the Prohibitionists. with Rev. II. L.
Hargett of Gate City for governor.
There was no fusion this year between
the Populists and Republicans, each
having it's own state ticket. 1t is gen.
orally agreed that the Democrats are
more thoroughly united than they have
been for decade, and the party mana
gers claim that their state ticket has
carried every county and that at least
1870 Democrats will be elected out of 1873
members of the legislature. They also
expect to reclaim many county offices.
The anti Democrats are fighting for
county and legislative offices, rather
than for state Offices
The chief issue of the campaign has
been the matter of new constitution
to restrict suffrage. The Democrats IA

constitutional convention to the people,
