The General Advance on peisin.

If the reports of yesterday from ChefoO
and Shanghai are to be credited the allied
forces began the general advance from
Yangtsun on August and were within
twenty miles of Pekin on August II. We
should hear something more on the sub
ject today. 1t is probable that if the
stories are substantially true the relief
column is at or near Lang Fang where
Seymour and McCalla fought desperate
battle and were turned back. They would
also appear to indicate that the Chinese
army is falling back upon Pekin and is
not operating seriously against the allies
TANKS and rear.
One of the reports in question asserts
that it is expected the column will be il
trent of Pekin in seven days-presumably
seven days from August II, which would
be next Saturday. Probably that predic-
ton is subject TO considerable qualifica-
tion. It's accuracy will depend upon con-
ditions and circumstances. The Chinese
may be preparing for stubborn fight to
keep the foreign devils" out Of their
sacred city and a hard battle may be
necessary at Lang Fang to clear the way.
1t is certain that there was much anxiety
concerning the situation of the Ministers
and ether foreigners in Pekin at the De.
partments last evening

General Wood has called council of the

The recent decree concerning these insti-

bankers do not want to be made to pay
the same tax as the corporations, though
they have not been able to give any good
reason why they should not.

the residence OF A. j. Bennett, Contee Sta
ton. Prince Georges County the Secre-
tary. d. NJ Nesbitt, was called upon for a
report on the sweet potato export enquiry
initiated by the Evansville Farmers Club.
Mr. Nesbitt stated thai the Secretary of
Agriculture had authorized the sending OF
ten barrels OF sweet potatoes to London and
as many to Paris. He read abstracts from
letters of the department s agents in those
cities The potatoes sent to Paris were
put on exhibition at the Worlds Fair and
attracted much attention. Those cent to
London, were Put on the market and reports
received encouraged Secretary Wilson TO
continue his efforts to have American sweet
potatoes regularly installed in the markets
CT Europe 1t is not expected that the
exports of sweet potatoes Will be Limited to
the tubers in their natural form, but will
in .lude the Canned and desiccated products
of the sweet potato. concerning which the
secretary of the club has received many
letters There is reason to hope that the
demand for American sweet potatoes in
Europe will in a few years come to be. as
The demand for American fruits has al
ready become. of very great Importance
A resolution was passed thanking Secre-
tary Wilson for his courtesy in giving this
report to the Evansville Farmers Club in
Advance Of its official publication and for
the vigorous action he has taken in push
ing this promising enquiry.
The members Of the club regard the
sweet potato experiment as the most i'm
portant move Made for many years in the
interest of the farmers and truckers of
this State. and IN fact of the greatest in
terest 10 the whole country. The potatoes
