London July Wednesday, Ais a.
m.)-"No authentic news from Pekin,"
is still the burden of the dispatches from
the Far East and although the disposi-
. tion is to believe the optimistic reports
from Chinese sources, no real confidence
is possible until the legations, if they
are still in existence, are permitted to
communicate with their Governments. IT,
as is alleged, the Boxer movement is los
ing ground in Pekin, it might have been
supposed that the Boxers would have
endeavored to send up reinforcements
from Tien Tsin; but instead of that, they
are still in great force in the neighbor-
hood of the latter place, and are assist
cd by the imperial Chinese troops, with
ample efficient artillery
According to a special Che Foo dispatch
the lighting around Tien Tsin on the third
and fourth was the severest yet expert
eDced. The British losses alone were
thirty killed or wounded The Chinese
had $4,000 men attacking simultaneously
from the west and north and east, and
made excellent practice with over 100
guns. The defenders number $4,000, with
ence of the newly arrived japanese and
Russian guns that prevented a disas-
ter. One Russian company of infantry
numbering 120 men, had Is killed or
wounded. The German contingent also
suffered heavily. By the evening of the
4th the situation was very critical. The
allies narrowly escaped total defeat. Pro-
videntially, when things were at their
worst. a torrential rainfall compelled the
Chinese to retire.
On July 9th the rain having abated.
the Chinese renewed the attack, opening
fire on Tien Tsin with two batteries of
four inch guns, but the allies aided by
two of H. NJ. s. Terribles Al guns, sue
ceeded in silencing the Chinese artillery
after eight hours of fighting.
AT Shanghai it seems now to be the gen.
eral belief that the date of the dispatch
of July 3rd asserting that two legations
were standing, was an error, either ac
cidental or intentional The couriers
must have left Pekin at least five days
earlier, making the real date of the mes
sage June 2Sth. while the alleged massa-
cres are said to have occurred on June
30th. Until this point can be cleared up
the greatest anxiety will be felt as to
the fate of the Europeans.

gun at 2:30 p. m, this afternoon before

for dismissal, and at o'clock court ad-

Scawell spoke in the court house here
yesterday. When ne got off the train he
made a break for Republican quarters.
When he went into the court house to
speak he was met and greeted only by
Republicans, such as Stein, Mickey, Sc
crest and Ed. Flow. They had a love-
feast. Now this great man Secrest has
only one objection to the amendment:
1T will diminish our population, and
when our inhabitants are thus decreased
our representation in the United States
Senate will be cut down!
About twelve o'clock one Pierce Rodg-
ers introduced the speaker to the crowd.
By actual count there were present 10
white folks, % of whom were strong
amendment Democrats, the other 20 were
about half Populists and half Republ-
cans; and there were so negroes. To
them he spoke, no one interrupted him.
He was given as respectful hearing as if
he had been a Democrat. He commenced
his speech: Il am sorry we don't have a
larger crowd" HE will be still sorrier

his recent experience at Laurinburg. He
was met by hundred men with red
shirts on, he said but they were not
white men" (The negroes cheer and
laugh.) At this point a Niger wench
came in with baby in her arms to hear
the speaker.
He told joke; all the negroes laughed
all cheered.
"It doesn't require a lawyer to know
this is unconstitutional" The negroes all
catch the point and cheer; they roll on
the benches and laugh. He refers to the
fact that you have to swear to stand
by the Constitution, and when he quoted
the Bible, as he often did, the negroes
all cheer.
They make you colored folks pay poll
tax and work the roads, but they don't
allow you to vote" (The negroes gave
vociferous approval)
Now he grows eloquent. He has sym

disgust to the white people.
