RIOT RIFE IN PEKIN.
Fire, Fighting and Dissension Mark
Rule of the Allies.

Fire, Fighting and Dissension Mark
Rule of the Allies.
Fires, fighting and dissension are APP
parently following in the wake of the re-
lief of Pekin. The London Daily Man
publishes dispatches from the chinese
capital declaring that a great ire was
raging in the imperial city. The Rus
sian commander had declined to accept
the decision of the other generals not 10
violate the imperial precincts, and street
fighting was going on.
Gen. Chaffee, so it is asserted, main
tanned that the Chinese had been ade-
quately punished already, ard that 1t
would be unwise to take the imperial
palace. This explains the withdrawal Of
the Americans after preaching three
gates, as cabled by the correspondent of
the Associated Press. The Russian gen
eral maintained that his Government had
declared war against China, and that
therefore there was no reason to prevent
him carrying hostilities into the sacred
precincts. The fires appear to be incen-
diary and to be caused by the Chinese
A report from St. Petersburg says the
japanese legation there has received a
dispatch from Pekin with the news that
the legationers are all liberated, but that
the allied forces are powerless to quench
the terrible fire which is making great
inroads in a thickly built portio2 Of the
city. The soldiers are too fatigued to
master the disastrous flames, which are
threatening the whole of the capital. The
leaders of the rebels, Prince Tuan and
others, are still in the city, but too Sc
curely concealed to be found, although
they are being carefully sought. The
Dowager Empress has fed in an I'M
known direction.
A report from Pekin says that Gen.
Lineyitch has been given full authority
to guard and defend the city. Fierce
fighting is also said to be still going on
inside the walls. Gen. Linevitch's ST.
berian army corps has become practical
ly imperative on account of the warm,
weather.
All the dispatches point to the fact that
the commanders were somewhat at sea
regarding their future action, all await
ing instructions from their governments.
The foreign residents appear to have been
sent to Tien-tsin, although the st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
says the ministers will not leave Pekin
until negotiations for indemnity are un
der way.
Berlin learns that there has been fur
ther fighting west of Tien-tsin, which
creates the impression that the province
of Pe-Chi-Li must be effectively occupied
before peace negotiations will become
feasible.

TWO DEAD, FOUR HURT.
Result of Attempt to Arrest Female
Doctor at Gilman, Ill.

Result of Attempt TO Arrest Felnaio
Doctor at Gilman, Ill.
Two men dead, two fatally wounded
and one man and woman seriously in
iured is the result of an all-night tight
made by constable and deputies in at
tempting to arrest DIR. Mrs Charlotte
Wright, who conducts hospital in Gill
man, Ill.
The trouble was pTecipitated by the in
vestigation of the coroner's jury into the
death of bessie Salter, 16 years DID, Of
Leonard, H., who died in the hospital
and was taken to her home in Leonard
under cover Of darkness. After the jury
had heard the evidence of Clarence Sal
ter, father of the girl, a warrant was
sworn ont by Police Magistrate w. Il.
Irelan for Mrs. Wright's arrest, and Con-
stable Milstead, accompanied by half
dozen deputies, with mob of a hundred
citizens at their heels, went to the house
to serve it. The house was silent and
dark. When the constable had demanded
entrance the third time the door was
kicked in, and the first man to enter was
Deputy Mike Ryan. He received n load
of haekshot in his abdomen and died in
twenty minutes. The house was burned
and it was supposed that the inmates
were dead. when all at once some one
fred from the bushes in the yard at the
sentries posted around the burning build
ing, and two men were carried off mortal
ly wounded They were George VIII
lough5y aud Pete Hauer. The shots were.
fired by John Meyers, a man who had
been living With Mrs. Wright since her
husband died seven years ago. Meyers
was riddled with bullets. Mrs. Wright
was found wounded in the arm and lying
on a brush heap in the shadow Of some
bushes. She was taken TO the City Hall
and a strong guard placed over her.
Threats of lynching were strong.

New York-There has been very little
actual change in the situation during the
last week. Prices are still somewhat
Irregular for the reason that in certain

is particularly true of the Western lines
The bank clearings also indicate that the
volume of general business is being Well
maintained. So far as the stock market
is concerned, il seems to be the consensus
of opinion that securities will ultimately
reach higher level of prices. As a
rule, even the bears concede that us TO
the immediate future opinions are not
quite so unanimous. The market is evil

Chicago-The wheat market cvinceG
considerable strength last week, TIE firm
ness being for the good and sufficient rea-
son that in the markets Of the importing
countries American wheat was under

Proof of this was the heavy purchases
made here for foreign account Besides
the foreign demand as an aid to the mar

period of the plants growth, when mois'
ture was Of vital Importance, has re-
Gently been pouring in floods, Just at the
time Wien dry weather was urgently
needed for the in-gathering of What the
previous drought had left. More than
the usual i'll effect of a wet harvest has
been experienced because Of the neceS-
sity of using mowers and headers in cut
ting the grain this season ON account or
the shortness of the straw. The heads
of the grain thus cut, gathered into heaps
in the fields have been subjected to the
most Injurious effects of incessant rain,
accompanied by q high degree OF temper
allure, the result of which, according to
numerous northumberland accounts
from the suffering territory, has been the
rendering unfit for milling purposes of
large portion of the wheat which had
been saved from the drought. The full
effect of the last-named addition to the
original calamity in the Northwest has
not yet been experienced in Tive market.
The rain that has been playing havoc
with spring wheat came in the nick ee'
time to benefit corn, the price of which
failed to maintain to the end the buoy
ancy that marked the trade early in the
week while the bad effects of continuous.
drought were still being feared.

regulations and restrictions as the terri

territorial legislature has not met yet
and cannot meet for some months unless
there is a special session, hence no regu-

Vided. If the old rules and restrictions
are void, the penalties for violating them
fall with them, and Hawaii is for the

Thugs Use Chloroform in Robbing the
OccuDauts of Tents.

Occupants of Tents.
Reports from Cape Nome say that
much lawlessness prevails there, that
from eight to a dozen robberies occur
nightly, and that people are not safe
from attacks from thugs after nightfall.
The lawless element, it is said, predomi-
mates, and those whom the thugs fear to
ROB in the streets are drugged in tents by
nieans of long rubber tube, through
which chloroform is forced after the tube
has been inserted through the canvas Of
the tent. The occupants of as many as
twelve tents have been robbed in this
manner in one night, and in one instance
1t was with difficulty that victim was
restored to consciousness. The nights at
Nome are rapidly frightening, and now
darkness prevails as early as . o'clock,
and the law-abiding people are afraid to
appear on the streets after that hour.
The criminal class which rushed off TO
Nome with the expectation of reaping a
harvest in ''sure thing" games have been
disappointed and are without funds. As
the winter season approaches they are
resorting to desperate means TO make
enough to come south.
