BLOODY WAR.
Gen. Chaffee Reports the Mcngoli
10000 Strong at Yang Tsun,
Awaiting the Allies.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE dis
patches of Gen. Chaffee, written be-
fore the battle of Sunday, confirm
the dispatches received concerning
the attack on the Chinese at Peit :
sang. The interesting feature of
the dispatch is the information re-
garding the position of the Chinese
army, and the fact that the ad-
vance upon Pekin is made by the
two columns, one on each side of
the Pei Ho river, and it proves that
the international column did not
bunder upon an intrenched position
of the enemy, 1t is thought that
the present objective point of the
column is Yang Tsun, fifteen miles
beyond Peitsang, Once in posses
sion of this point the international
force would have both the river and
the railroad in its rear for keeping
open communication with Tien
Tsiu, 1t naturally would become
the advance base from which the
operations on Pekin could be pro-
jected. 1t is reported that the EN-.
emy is 10000 strong at the crossing
OF the road over the Pei Ho river,
There is no information as to the
number of the enemy which met the
advance at Peitsang, but Judging
from the casualties to the interna-
tional forces, it must have been
large.

WOMEN IN
They Object to a Nasty and Prevalent
Habit of Men.


Five ladies lunched together at a
downtown restaurant yesterday, says
the Chicago Chronicle, and while
seated at the table they resolved them
selves into a committee on protest
and declared that the nuisance had to
be abated. What they propose to an
initiate is the practice some alleged
gentlemen have of expectorating upon
the floor of street and elevated cars.
One of the ladies exhibited the hem
of her underskirt to show how it had
been ~bedrabbled in tobacco juice on
her way down. They were furious, all
of them, and they parted avoWing that
they would meet again in a few days
and adopt a definite plan of action.
1t is not laws or new regulations gov
erning the matter, but they do and
will insist in a pretty positive way,
they declare, to have existing laws and
regulations enforced to the letter.
They said point blank that the con-
ductors would not obey orders in the
premises unless the car companies
made examples of some of them. 1t
would seem that these five women be-
lieve that certain men passengers have
a political or ONE other kind of a
pull" which makes the conductors
afraid to have them arrested or eject
them from the car, and that they let
their hoggishness and impoliteness
have full scope. Just how these five
women are going to remedy the evil
remains to be seen, but in the Ian
guage of TIE street gamin, they Ger
tainly had blood in their eyes, and the
chances are that their Organization"
will grow rapidly in numerical
strength and in enthusiasm. OF course,
every one knows that they have album
dant reason to complain of the filthy
condition of the floors of some cars.

ECLIPSES OF THE SUN.


Always an Object of Deep Interest to
Astronomers.
The earliest records of solar eclipses
are ascribed to Confucius. One Of the
eclipses Of antiquity was famous for
two events. One was that it was fore
told by an astrologer, the year being
$50 B. c., and the second was that its
alarming appearance stopped a bat
tie between the Lydians and Modes.
Formerly eclipses of the sun created
terror among the beholders, and even
today educated and intelligent people
express a dread of the solemn and i'm
pressive darkness. One who has wit
messed a total eclipse gives this
graphic description: "As much as
five minutes before the total obscurity
it may be possible to detect strange
waving lines of light and shade draw
ing across the landscape. Then, with
frightful velocity, the shadow Of the
moan is seen approaching, a tangible
darkness advancing like a wall, swift
as imagination, silent IS doom. The
immensely of nature never comes so
nea as then, and strong must be the
nerves not to culver as the blue-black
shadow rushes upon the spectator
with incredible speed. A vast palpi-
tating presence seems overwhelming
the world. Bats emerge stealthily.
An assembled crowd is awed into alb
solute silence. 1t becomes ~curiously
cold, and the chill is mental as well as
physical"
