OBSTINATE RESISTANCE.
Allies Fight Their Way Into Pekin
With Losses.
SURROUNDED LEGATIONS.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The allied
armies have captured and entered
Pelxin in the face of the most obstinate
resistance, and the members of the
foreign legations are safe. Official
confirmation of the fall of the Chinese
capital came to the United States de-
partmcnt in the shape of two cable
grams, one from Admiral Remey came
to hand first, and another very soon
after that by Fowler. Admiral Re
mey's dispatch is as follows:
Bureau of Navigation, Washington

Tsin dated 10th, 10 p. N. 'Pelxin was
captured on August IS Foreign Iega-
tions are safe. Deta Is follow shortly

important details of the occurrences at
the time of the capture of the city, was
given out in the subjoined official
statement:

not more than a dozen miles. 1t seems
evident, therefore, that the armies
halted for time at Tung Chow, proba-
bly, for the purpose of giving the men
q rest and preparing for the attack
upon the capital city in force after
waiting until the rear of the advan-
cling hosts should arrive at the front.

ENGLAND IS IRR|TATED.
Salisbury's scheming Will Turn
Out Satisfactorily.
TROOPS ARE DIsEMBARKED.

London. Aug 21--England is thor
ough1y irritatcd over the governments
seemingly changeable course respect
ing the landing of troops at Shanghai
Even the sem blance of yielding to
pressure by the powers or the Chinese
vieeroys is regarded as impairing Brit
ish prestige in the east and in Europe
The papers, from the Times down, are
1ecturing the government on its sup
posed vacillat;on and faint hearted
ness. British troops, after all, occupy
the nerve center of the richest region
in China, which sustains $50, 900, 900 of
people, and were landed with the con
sent and approval of the powers The
foreign office adjutants are bewildered
at the ado rising throughout the coun-
try by what they consider amusing
little game of Lord Salisbury, ending
to Englands advantage 1t is ex-
planned thus to the Associated Press:
First, the formal announcement that
troops would be landed; then, five
days wait in which the foreign consuls
at Shanghai wagged their heads and
wired to their home governments; NUT
terings of disapprova1 of the Continent
and the stirring up of Chinese opposi-
ton at Shanghai; troops arrive at
Shanghai and the viceroy resists their
L
object; the consuls meet and several of
them assert, ''if the British land, we
will land troops too;'' Admiral Seymour,
after wiring London, announces that
England withdrayvs and the troops do
not land; sailing hour is appointed;
the next day every variety of foreign
commercial interest in Shanghai crys
out in disnay, the consu1s revise their
views and join in requesting their gov
ernments to induce the British to land
for the security of Shanghai; the Brit
ish sail away; intimations are received
at the foreign office from France, Ger
many and Austria that they are quite
willing that the troops should land:
the troops are pursued and brought
back, and the troops are disembarked-
The foreign Office expresses the opin-
ion that the business admirably
worked.

MORE EAGERNESS TO BUY.
More Buyers Visit Eastern Mar

BOTTOM PRICES REACHED.

New York, Aug ao.-R. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says. After
a great wave of advancing prices OPP
timism to business is generally dan
gerous- But the top was reached the
middle OF March, since which time
action has come in every great indus
try, SO that consumers are asking
whether in some directions the decline
may have not been reasona bly, large as
was the advance and whether buying
on the present basis of prices is not
fairly sure There are fresh evidences
of weaknesses in raw materials, no
tably the break in str uctural iron. but
each one is availed of to place heavy
contracts New York is welcoming
buyers from all over the country in
larger numbers than for many years at
this season, in dry goods. in groceries,
in jewelry and in hardware. and if
contracts are not placed to large
volume expected it is because of
the conservatism of those who think
they may compel some further shading
of prices. Reports this week from
other important points of distribution
show the same eagerness to buy when
the time seems right
It is becoming more apparent that
the bottom has been reached in prices
of iron and steel. The decline was
severe and the recovery must be slow,
but gradual advance and moderately
increasing activity more healthy
than violent changes In single
division is the improvement more stri-
king than in any other Except steel
rails all forms of iron from the to
the finished product are being sought
more eagerly and with less effort to
secure further concessions in prices.

OPINIONS IN BERLIN.
TIE Fleeing Chinese Governments Must
Caught


Berlin, Aug 2I-The fight of the
dowager empress and the disappear
ance of the emperor of China is here
regarded of much greater and last
ing Importance than the mere taking
of Pekin. and the complications result
ing therefroIn are speculatively dis
cussed by the press and in political
circles The overwhelming opinion is
that, since all the powers have agreed
to install strong central government
at Pekin, it becomes necessary, frst,
to destroy, at least render harmless,
the fugitive government, which is
responsible for the whole Chinese
eruption Therefore it is claimed it is
necessary to follow and capture the
fugitives.
This probably will call for the en-
ployment of large additional forces,
besides those which are now in China.
SurmiseS to whether the United
States, Great Britain and Japan will
all spare their influence or leave the
burden to Russia, France, and, above
all, to Germany, fill the papers
The German government adheres to
the view that perfect harmony pre-
walls among the powers regarding
immediate action in China.
