The express Office and DOstOfhce were

had a close call. All the mail and ef-

notice.
The office Of the supervisor Of census
for the territory was located in the
Prescott National bank building, and
contained all the official statistics of
the census of the territory, but they

The origin of the fire was unknown
until this evening, when it was learned
that man rOOming over the bOttiing
works was lying in bed reading by can

on the wall caught fire. He ran ont to
give the alarm, and before others
reached the place the fire was beyond
control.
Extra police are on guard tonight
over goods in temporary structures

the fire patrol is also being maintained
to prevent any fresh outbreak, although
with the dying down of the wind but
little apprehension is felt tonight.

Great Battle in Pekn Between Troops of Prince Ching Who
Aided Them, and Prince Tuan.

London. July 15-1he Shanghai
correspondent of the Express, on
the authority of couriers who
brought the story, gives a very
sensational account Of the death of the
foreigners in Pekin.

the center When the Boxers realized
that they were being attacked. they
became like wild beasts and shot each

Many foreigners were roasted in the
flames. The Boxers rushed upon them
and hacked and stabbed borh dead and
wounded, cutting off their heads and
carrying these through the streets on
their rifles. They then attacked the
native Christian quarters. massacred
all who refused to join them. outraged
the women and Drained the children.

The correspondent adds. 'An Chi

asked the American consul to cable
washington a proposal to deliver the
foreigners in safety at Tien Tsin on
condition that the allies would suspend
their operations to the north of Pekin."
The correspondent adds certain de-

deepest gloom pervades this town to-
day. All that remains of the principal
business portion of the town is tot
tering walls and piles of charred and
burning debris.
The fire, which started at 1913 o'clock
/ last night, was not under control IN
til 8 o'clock this morning, when the fire
fighters went a considerable distance

residences To add to the prevailing
gloom high wind has prevailed all
day, sending smoke. dust and burning
embers in every direction, requiring
the greatest vigilance to prevent an
othss' outbreak of the flames Owing to
the chaotic condition existing today, it
is impossible to obtain an accurate &C
count of the loss or individual insur-
ance- From interviews with insurance
agents, the total insurance does not
exceed $3.50, Oe0
