j. II. Brown, Ex-Congressman W. G..
Owens, Judge !. G. Sims. X. c. Kin
kead, Ed Parker, II. W. Nelson. l.. J.

The defendant. former Secretary OF
State Caleb Powers, was brought into
court and took seat with the at

shows but few marks of confinement
and looks In good spirits.

after the assassination.

distinct hope. If, as suggested, the
the besieged legation reasonably sup
piled with provisions, the foreign col
ony may yet escape destruction.
The latest news from Tien-Tsin is
contained in q news agency message,
dated Friday, July G, reporting a re-
newed Chinese attack that morning
with - guns. The allied forces re-
piled will; the guns laden from the
British first-class cruiser Terrible,
and a mixed force of 900 men made
sortie under cover of the fire of the
naval brigade and attacked the Chi
nese, who retired after seven hours
fighting.
Earlier dispatches record severe
fighting, notably on July 2 and July
,. when the Chinese developed unex-
pected strength and did considerable
with artillery. At the bridge near
the foreign settlement there was hard
fighting at close quarters, the Rus
slams, with a Gatlin gun, finally com
pelling the Chinese to retire, though
they suffered heavily. The operations,
however, were in no way decisive,
later messages showing the Chinese
were still full of fight.
Yokohama, July 10.-The govern
ment has decided TO Immediately dis
patch $4,000 men and 5000 horses to
China.
The newspaper, in endorsing this ac-
ton, point out that if the foreigners
at Peking perish, japanese could not
be absolved from the blame
Kiel, July 10.-The German Asiatic
squadron sailed Monday morning for
China. Emperor William and Prince
Henry of Prussia witnessed the de-
parture of the warships.
Washington, July 1o.-The follow
ing telegram was received by Minister
WI from Sheng, director general of
the imperial telegraphs, at Shanghai:
July 3.-Two legations in Peking
still preserved. All ministers safe.
Rebellious troops and rioters make
attacks, but suffer many losses. I'm
perial troops are protecting, but meet
with difficulty in doing so. 1t is
feared that food and ammunition are
exhausted"
London, July 10.-About 500 men
were wounded in the fighting at Tien-
Tsin.
Diplomatic circles in London are
the best means of repaying
Japan for disproportionate assist
ance in quelling the rebellion in China.
They seem in favor of settling the |
Korean question in accordance with
Japan's well known desires. 1t is be-
lieved the assent of the powers to an
whereby Japan can place
an army of occupation in Korea, like
Great Britain In Egypt. will be ac-
ceptable to Japan as compensation.

London, July l0.-The more hopeful
feeling engendercd by Saturdays
news from Peking was further
strengthened Monday by Rr. Adm.
Bruce's endorsement of the rumors
that Prince Ching, who is said TO be
heading counter revolution at Pc
king, is fighting in behalf of the le-
cations against the usuper, Prince
Tuan. The admiral hope that Prince
Ching with his army is defending the
legations at Pcking against Prince
Tuan turns out to be well founded. This
turn Of events is of the utmost inn
pOrtance, as it is felt here that in
some such division among the Chinese
themselves lies the best hope for the
safety Of the foreigners. If the pow
Crs can find allies in China itself It
will materially facilitate the task of
restoring order, and those acquainted
with the country beneve that il the
diplomats are able to induce such a
man as III Hung Chang or Chang Chi
Tung to send forces to the assistance
of Prince Ching. the hor,les of revolu-
tiOnists will disperse as quickly as
they had collected. and a way to Pc
king will be opened without great de-
lay. With all due allowance for the
uncertainty in regard to the relabil-
ity, the authorities here feel that the
latest messages from the far east give

I'm my opinion the powers would
need an army of about 250,0O0 men to
subdue this one northern province by
force. Should there be general up
rising before they could do any sort of
policing for that great territory with
its 4oo,Ooo,OOO people, or bring them
under subjugation, they would re-
quire not less than I.0O0,o 900 soldiers
and many millions of dollars would
be wasted and millions of lives be lost
before the entire country could be
brought under subjugation.

Five Furnaces Banked.

Lebanon, Pa, July 1O.-Sixteen hun
dred men were thrown out of employ
ment by the banking of five furnaces,
two of them owned and three operat-
ed on five-year lease by the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel Co., of Scran-
ton. Two of the furnaces are at West
Lebanon, two at Cornwall and one at
North Cornwall. The cause stated for
the stoppagc of operations is the re-
moval of the large steel works of the
I.ackawanna Co. from Scranton to
Buffalo and the existing war over
railroad rates for lake ore.
