Individual ano national prosperity and

With you In felicltation that American
liberty Is more firmly established than

determination to preserve II are more
universal than at any former period OF
sur history.
The republic was never SO strong, be-
pause never so strongly intrenched in the
teaTts OF the people as now. The Consti-
tuition, with few amendments, exists as
left the hands Of its authors. The ad-
sitions which have been made to 1t pro-
Slain larger freedom and more extended
citizenship. Popular government has
demonstrated in its Ia years OF trial
tere its stability and security, and its
Efficiency as the best instrument of ma
uonal development and the best safe
guard to human rights.
When the sixth congress assembled in
United States was 5,aOs .Iss II is now is.-

Fe have forty-five. Then our territory

hg1or and morality have kept pace with
bur advancement in other directions, and
while extending its power the govern
ment has adhered to It's foundation prin-

with our new peopleF and possessions. A

M. ID. johnson, seaman from the
United States steamer Albatross, who
was one of the passengers on the
sow" train from Los Angeles which
was wrecked near Antioch recently,
thus describes his experience: IN
was little after two bells this morn
ing, and l was smoking my pips In
the Owls stern gallery. The fTst
thing l knew of any happening was
when / was thrown violently from
ny seat. After the pitching and
jumping had stopped, crawled out
and saw that the steering gear cf
the Owl had been carried away,
causing her to part amidship. The
offer end listed badly TO starbossd
and went aground, throwing all the
hands an heap to TIE listed side.
No lives were lost, however, though
all were badly shaken up and some
what damaged. One unlucky pas
senger hunted the glass out of port
hole, cutting her head and face quite
badly. After wigwagging the craft
coming up behind to change her
course, the forward end of our craft
picked up the passengers and crew
and continued her voyage. As for
me, ! will be glad when am safe
aboard the Albatross again. This
cruising overland is too rough and
ehoppy for me-"

jumped into burning lighter along
side the ship. and when an officer on
board the ship who still stayed with
the doomed vessel saw her and realized
what would be her fate, he plunged
down after her, hoping to drag her
out of the burning lighter into the
water. He followed her within a cou-
pie OF seconds, and both went down
into the flames in the lighter and per-
iShed.
The flames in the cotton kept the
fire at an immense heat and the fire
men suffered greatly. Again and again
1t seemed as II they must abandon the
light. The vantage points at which
they could attack the flames were few
and their efforts were necessarily ham
pered.
An idea as to the intensity OF the
heat was given by the fact that the
steamship firemen, men who are used
to working In the fire room of Il YES
where any human being works, fell
back from the work of fighting the
flames, ovrcome by the heat.
Some of those who went into the
water and were rescued and but slight
ly injured, say that when others who
water saw death coming they went in
sane. Men babbled or home and
friends during the few brief moments
that they and the others faced death.
IlG IettT u tHc IuTIlttce which lay DC
tween them and the land bereft them
of their senses. There were acts of
cowardice and heroiSm. They chung
to others and refused to let go even,
though the act meant death TO both.
One Of the survivors was seized by an
other man who chung to him frantical-
ly and refused to let go. The man,
who was later saved, had to beat his
companion into insensibility before he
could loosen his hold and plunge into
the water.
Later Jersey City stripped itself of
all the hose possible and sent it to the
Hoboken iircmen in wagon for use.
With this streams were late gotten on
the fire, but it was then under control,
having burned itself out.
All Of the hospitals in Hoboien and
this city are crowded with the vic
Tins or the fire. There are scores of
men burned so badly that little hope
is entertained for their recovery. Hud-
son street hospital has every patient
that 1t can possibly take care Of as
has also I'ellcvenue. st. Vincents, and
many of the hospitals further up town.
There were over 200 persons taken to
the hospitals up to 10 o'clock tonight,
and suffererers were still coming in by
the score All kinds of vehicles were
brought into use as ambulances.
Saloons. stores and any other build
ing that happened 10 be open on the

Taku. June 27.-Admiral Kempff OPP
posed the policy of attacking the Chi
nese army unless they began hostili-
ties. 1t is now admitted that the Pow
nese into allies of the Boxers. Ameri-
cans think this might have been
avoided. Admiral Fempff has held
aloof from hostilities beyond move
ments necessary to rescue Americans.
The forces now ashore number 16 900,
of which $500 are British. 1900 Ger
mans, 1000 Russians $500 Japanese.
and the remainder American, French,
italian and Austrian.
Yesterday the English torpedo boat
Fame visited the fort at the new city,
twelve miles up the river. 1t was
found deserted and was blown up.
Lieut.. Jayne. OF New York, trying
to reach Tien Tsin by boat at the time
of the storming of Tien Tsin. had a
fierce fight with the Chinese.
WALLER NEAR TEN TSIN.
Major Walters battalion of 1870 ma
rines. With Commander Craddock's
British naval brigade numbering 500.
were camped on June % eight miles
from Tien Tsin. where the railroad had
been destroyed.
At daylight on the morning of the
23d Major Waller and two companies
of British marched on Tien Tsin. The
remainder of the British and 500 Welsh
Fusiliers supporting. went up the river
bank. Another column, consisting
chiefly of Russians and Germans, took
up the route chosen by Waller. They
were repulsed, however.
On June q the Russians became en-
gagged in conflict with the Chinese.
First Major Waller reinforced them
and then rejoined the British, the mill
tary college being attacked. The Chi
nese exploded n mine under the ma
rines, merely bruising few of the

lish they were exposed to Il heavy.
flanking fire and Private John Hunter
was killed and Sergeant Taylor and
Corporal Pedrick were wounded. OF
the English two were killed and three
We're wounded.
The English and American forces
carried the village outside the walled
city by storm. They found in Tien
Tsin Lieutenant Irwin and Cadet Pet
tingill with forty men in good condi-
ton. Among the killed also was Pri-
vate Nicholas, and still another Amer
lean was wounded.
WALKERS COMMAND AMBUSHED.
When the Chinese attacked Tien Tsin
on June II Major Walters command
with 440 Russians, was ambushed three
miles from that place. They were COM
PEELED to retreat. abandoning three
inch rifle and Colts gun and losing
four killed and seven wounded.
The greatest anxiety exists concern
ing the position of the foreigners at
Picking. Admiral Kempff believes that
large achievements are necessary in
order to reach Picking. He Is anxious
to avoid all action likely to involve
Americans in future diplomatic discus
sion.
When the forts were attacked the
British gunboat Algerine surprised and
boarded four Chinese torpedo boats I'M
der the shadow of the forts. They Of
fered one to Admiral Kempfr. who de-
clined to receive 1t. However, the
Russians. Germans and Japanese each
took one of the boats.
