PANIC THREATENED.
Chinese Trouble Affects Japanese FL
nancaS-

nances.
San Francisco, July 24-Shanghai
and Yokohama newspapers received by
the America Maru give some interesting
facts regarding the situation in China
and Japan. OF the position of the for
eign colony in the British legation, the
Japan Mail, of Yokohama, says:
This is a time when to live in Pekin
at all is to suffer terribly from heat.
With 500 foreigners including many
women and children, crowded in the
British legation, and exposed to the
constant rifle fire of the Chinese, the
misery must be great. The walls are
nigh and thick and the defenders must
have been forced to erect stagings on
the inner side on which rif1eTnen could
stand. If the Chinese used artillery the
gunnerS would have to expose them
selves to rifle fire at short range, and
this, with the number of good shots
among the marines would be attended
with very severe losses. The gunners
could not take up distant position and
lombard the buildings effectively with
out destroying much of their own prop
erty- The provision question IS the
worst There are no ice plants in the
foreign legations, and they have been
accustomed to depending upon the Chi
neSe markets for their daily supplies of
beef and mutton. A certain quantity of
preserved provisions were doubtless IN
stock in the Hotel de Pekin, but moth
ing to feed so large a number as 800.

severely and would have murdered him
hadlhe not escaped into a swamp, where
he remained hidden for several hours
in water, only his nose being above the
surface. He finally reached Tien TSin
in terrible plight.
1.-The troubles in China threaten to
bring on a financial panic in Japan.
China has gradually become the great
est field for japanese trade enterprise
and the practical closing of this market
is bound to bear heavily on many large
Japanese firms These firms are repre-
scented by big establishments in Tien

MUCH TERRITORY LOST
Through the Establishment Of
Boundary Line in the North.

Skagway, Alaska, July Is via Seattle,
Wn.. July 24.-The work of determining
the provisional boundary in the dispu-
ted Alaska Canadian territory having
been completed in that part crossing the
Dalton trail and touching the Porcuplne
district the Americans in the district
find that they have lost a large part OF
what they believe was rightfully Amer
lean territory The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the last
few weeks by O. H. Tfttman, OF WASH
ington D. c., and w. +. King, of OF
tawa, and assistants who have simply
followed instructions as set forth in the
modus vivendi agreed to Professionally
some months ago by Secretary Hay, on
the part of the United States and Brit
ish representatives, after the adjourn
ment of the joint high commission.
The survey and demarkattOn to the
line leaves nearly one half of the Por-
cupine gold mines in the British terri
tory, and it has been the general opin-
ion for a long time that the mines, in
fact the entire Porcupine district was on
the American side. Much of the Dalton
toll road, leading to Porcupine city now
lies within Canadian territory also; that
is is on the Canadian side of the iron
monuments set on the provisional line
The American miners in the Porcu-
pine having watched the development of
the work of delimiting and marking the
boundary, were so aroused over the re-
suit of so much of the mining district
being left on the British side that they
were not long in addressing a protest to
President Mckinley. Copies of the pro-
test have been sent to the Chambers of
Commerce of Seattle. Skaguay, San
Francisco and Portland with a request
for cO-OperatiOn.

BATTLE WITH A MOB
An Alabama Sheriff Tries in Vain to
Defend Prisoner.

Huntsville. Ala, July 24.-E1ijah Clark,
a negro who yesterday assaulted Susan
Priest, a 1S-year-old girl. was taken from
jail In this city last night and lynched
near the spot where his crime was COM
mitted. His body was riddled with bull
let's. Sheriff F'ulghum defended his pris-
oner to the last, but a dense smoke from
a combination of tar. feather and oil fired
by a crazed mob was too much for him,
and he was dragged from the jail and
placed under a physicians care. VIII
Ninlng, who attempted to rush through
the crowd and up the jail steps, was shot
ny the sheriff and dangerously wounded.
After battering down the doors and
gaining an entrance to the Jail, the mob
drove the sheriff and his prisoner into the
third story of the building. There the
sheriff held his ground until he became
unconscious from the Suffocating smoke
arising from tar and feathers which
burned on the stone floor in the main cor
ridor.
In response to an appeal from Sheriff
Fulghum, made earlier in the day, Gov
ernor Johnston ordered militia compan-
les here from, Birmingham, Montgomery
and Decatur, but they failed to arrive in
time to prevent the Iynching.

BECKLEY ARRESTED.
Man Who Hanged a Vicious Bull
Dog Captured.

Sheriff Cook and the sheriff of Usage
county had a. race yesterday. Governor
Stanley'S Office was the goal Sheriff
Cook lost The purse was represented
by one Charles Beckley who is wanted
in Shawnee and Usage counties for
thefts committed about July 4. At that
time the farmers of the territory near
the dividing line between the two cOun-
ties went to picnics and gatherings to
celebrate. That night a dozen or SO re-
turned to find that their houses had
been robbed. The robbing of farm
and the thief seemed to be working
toward Topeka. The sheriff of Usage
followed him but lost the trail and then
Sheriff Cook and his force took up the
chase.
Under Sheriff Hal Williams followed
the man who was suspected to the res
ervation Sunday. Cards We're sent out
and Monday afternoon Sheriff Cook and
the Usage sheriff were notified by tele-
graph that the officers at Falls City,
Neb., had Beckley in custody. Then the
two sheriffs raced for the requisition
was busy finding a complaining witness
to swear to the complaint in the city
court and after two or three hours work
and just as he was starting for the gov
ernor's office armed with the proper pa
pers he received a telephone message
that the requisition had been mailed to
the sheriff of Usage.
Beclxley is accused of a, wonderful as
Sortment of thefts. A farmer living
near WakaruSa was afraid of losing his
chickens He took a fierce bull dog to
the chicken coop and tied him with a

hanging by the neck from one of the
rafters, dead. The chickens were gone
Beckley gets the credit.
