OF twenty-five men visited the north
toll gate of the Burlington pike and
blew it up with dynamite. The charge
was placed in the middle room Of the

carefully planned.
No toll had been collected for three
days, and both toll gate keepers had
been removed in compliance with
whitecap notices.

Imperial Palace.
THE STORY OF THE RESCUE.

by the EInaciated Foreigners Allies
Enter the Sacred City-Two Companies
ofthe Fourteenth Infantry Climbed the
Wall and Hoisted the stars and Stripes
Pekin, via Chee-Fo (By Cable).-
The American and Russian flags were
planted on the east wall Of Pekin at
II o'clock on the morning the city was
captured. The Indian troops entered
the British Legation at / and the
Americans at 3.
There was a joyful reception from
the wall. The emaciated tenants could
have lasted but little longer. They
had only three days rations.
The Chinese had been attacking flu.
riously for two days. Four thousand
shells fell in the legation during the
siege. Sixty-ive persons were killed
and 160 wounded.
The Japanese began the battle be-
fore daylight, and they are still fight
ing about the north wall, where a part
of the Chinese are defending the impe-
rial city. The Japanese casualties
have not yet been ascertained. The
Russians had five killed and twelve
wounded. The Americans and the
British had a few wounded.
The plan was to make a general at
tack the next day, and the troops
were arriving at camp, five miles east,
all night. They were completely ex-
hausted, and slept in the corn fields in
the rain.
The generals. however, alarmed at
the sounds of a heavy attack on the
legations, pushed forward independ-
emily, the British, Americans and
French on the left of the river and
the Russians and japanese on the
right.
Beginning at 2 O'Clock a. IN. the jap
anese diverted the hrunt of the resist.
ance to the northern city, their artil-
lery engaging the Chinese heavily
there.
The Americans and British met with
but little resistance until they entered
the city, where there was street fight
ing. Reilly's battery attempted to
breach the inner wall. The troops
finally entered the foreign settlement
through the canal.
Company e, Fourteenth United
States Infantry, planted its flag on
the outer wall, Musician Titus scaling
the wall with a rope, by mean of
which the others climbed to the top.
The Chinese had continually vio-
lated the armistice.

Halt Since August IS.
New York City (Speciai).-The
wholesale price of fancy creamery
butter reached to twenty-one and one
half cents a pound Wednesday. Since
August 13 it has risen one and a half
cents. This is In part due to the
shrinkage in the milk supply, caused
by the long period Of dry weather.
Cheese has also gone up from nine and
three-quarter cents to ten and five
eighths cents a pound in the same pc
Rod of time.
The price of butter usually rises at
this season of the year, but not to
such a high point. Last August, when
there was a good market for it for
export, the price reached twenty-one
cents. The export market is moi so
good this year.

The most extensive use Of the telephone in

New HOrk. New-Haven and Hartford Railroad.
OF which +. u. Valentine is superintendent OF

Boston is connected with all the outlying towers

for incoming trains. An amount OF business can
be handled this way by telephone which would
be impossible with the slower telegraph, without
