London. July 2l-The Daily Express has received the following from Tien Tsin dated July 19: E%8
 'The casualties of the allies in the three days fighting before the native city of Tien. Tsin exceeded LOCO. It is not certain that there were several Russians and Frenehmeh fighting on the Chinese side The Chinese killed their own women by the wholesale to prevent them falling into the hands of the Russians <
 Yesterday the whole native city was in flames, and the stench of the burning thousands of corpses was unspeakably hor- rible.
 Among the incidents of the fighting on July 13 was the precipitate flight of 300 French troops from Annam. They had been ordered to hold an important fort, but on being charged by the Chinese with bayo- nets the entire detachment boted, panic stricken.

GERMANY THINKS
 CHINA INSINCERE In Her Attempt to Make Denial
 of the Massacre. LITTLE RELIANCE IN THEM Foreign Office Considers the Gravest Point in the Situation Now Is the s- >-,...., ,... Doubtful Attitude of Central
 and Southern Viceroys
LITTLE RELIANCE IN THEM


 Berlin, July 20.-The Berlin Government feels confident that the present attempts by Chinese, officials to deny the Pekin mas sacre are insincere and dictated solely by a desire to hamper and retard the power of the joint action of the powers. At the Chinese Legation here where also denials of the massacre have come from the Vice roys, the statement was made today to the correspondent of the Associated Press that the Chinese Minister himself, Lu Hai Houan, placed small reliance upon them.
 Lu Hai Houan has in nowise replied to the recent prohibition by the Foreign office of his use of the telegraph for secret mes sages, but he has since sent to Count von Buelow several telegrams for approval, which has been granted.
 The foreign office considers that the gravest point in the situation just now is the doubtful attitude of the Southern and Central viceroys with the evident spread of the anti-foreign histilities. The news received is very meagre, but it all points to treachery and to a cunning policy of pro- crastination by the Viceroys until the mo- ment shall have arrived when they can af- ford to discard dissimilations Yuan Shih Kai, Governor of Shan Tung, is regarded here as worse than unreliable.
 The Foreign Office feels glad that all these Chinese ruses have not succeeded in blinding the powers or in retarding their serious military preparations.

COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT,
 IN RUTHERFORD, NJ
In His Apartment Were Found All the Nec-
 essary Parapiaernalia for Making / the Bogus Bills. Ts.it

New York, July 2e-Chief Eazen, of the. secret service, with number of Hoboken policemen went to Rutherford, N. J., to- day and made an important seizure of commercials and counterfeiting apparatus. The seizure followed the arrest of Richard He had been frequenting a. resort in that city and getting the barmaids to obtain change for ten and two dollar bills for him., When searched at the station house nine teen two-dollar counterfeits three tens and one twenty were found on him. All were bogus and all so we'll executed that only experts could detect them. r.s.
 Chief Hazen and assistants found in a Rutherford house young girl and a man. The house was searched from top to bot tom. It was handsomely furnished and the prisoner had evidently been living in luxury. Chief Hagen found two large presses of fine make. There were four lithographing stones in the place, They bore the impress and lines for the printing of s20 gold certificates, $1O gold certificates and g. silver certificates -,lE s1on, f.'
 There was a liberal supply of paper need ed for the purpose and also fine imita- tion of the paper used in genuine bills. The officers found commercials aggregating st. GOO in tens, tWenties and twos. All are very we'll executed. Seventy-nine dollars iii gold money was also found 1is'
 The man in the place said his name was Paul Jansen, 30 years of age, and refused to talk The girl is Clara Genser, daughter of the man arrested in Hoboken.

Concerning Women

It has been remarked how few women even those smartly dressed-are "well- necked.' Equally, some people trouble lit- tie about their wristbands. A narrow stitched band to match the skirt is most suitable for short stout figures, while wo- men with long back are we'll catered for with crush belts pointed in Swiss fashion.
 Among royal women, Queen Amelie of Portugal and the Crown Princess of Den mark are the talest though the Duchess of York is above the average height. In England the average is five feet six inches but in America it is two inches less the superiority of the English being accounted for by their love of outdoor exercise.
 One of the most charming of diplomatic women in London is Mime. Kato, the wife of the Japanese minister. Japan may we'll be proud of her, and Europe finds her as European as if she had been brought up in Paris. The Japanese are the Parisians of the East, it may be added. M. and Mime. Kato have now been in England in vari- ous capacities for some dozen years. When they first came Mime. Kato did not know a word of English. She set to work to learn it and became fluent speaker of it in year. In another year she made her self perfect a speaker of French. For the Japanese are marvellous linguists, in which respect they have the advantage of the Parisians. It is to be regretted for the sake of the picturesqueness of the state functions of court that Mme Kato should have given up the charming national dress of Japan, but at the time of her arrival in England the imperial edict had gone forth which prescribed the wearing of European dress by state officials and really Mime. Kato is said to look so fascinating in her Paris-cut gown that one would hardly wish to alter her costume. It is claimed that she has made the new Japanese legation in Grosvenor Gardens most delightful on strictly European principles.

MET THE EMPEROR.
An Interesting Letter Received from
 Mrs. Conger Some Time Ago.

Des Moines, Ia., July 20.-Until December mitted to enter the Forbidden city, of Pekin, the abode of the Emperor At that time visit was paid to the Empress Dow ager by the seven foreign ministers wives
 of whom Mrs. Conger, wife of Minister Conger, was one. After the visit Mrs Con ger wrote to a friend in this city a de- scription of her visit. This letter has never been published. It was made public for the first time today. Mrs. Conger says:
 T must tell you of visit that the for eign Ministers wives made to the Empress Dowager It is stated, and said to be true
 that she had never seen foreign woman
 and that foreign woman had never seen her They wished to pay their compliments to her on her sixty-fourth birthday. The audience was granted after some delay
 and December 13 was decided upon. Our first interpreter presented each lady to Prince Ching and he in turn presented us to the Empress Dowager. Then Lady Mac Donald read little speech in behalf of the ladies. The Empress Dowager responded through Prince Ching. We then courtesied to the Emperor, who reached out his hand to each. The Empress Dowager took both our hands, then placed upon the finger of each lady beautiful, heavy, chased gold Chinese ring set with a very large, fine pearl. After thanking her we backed from the throne and took our places below as before. My interpreter tried to impress up- on me what a great thing had come in my life in this visit to royalty. He said: Madam, much grand thing came to you. Emperor came down from heaven. No for eign lady see him-few Chinamen He came down from heaven. You are very blest. .

NO MORE TROOPS
Secretary Root Says No Additional
 Force Had Been Ordered

Washington, July 20.-Secretary Root made the positive statement that no more troops had been ordered for Chinese ser vice tonight He added:
 ''The efforts of our government just now must be directed to aiding the friendly Chinese officials. It Is evident that from the dispatch that the imperial government had been acting in good faith on the 18th, and was still using it's efforts to protect the legations. We must do everything we can to second their efforts. It is hard to say just now whether increased military activ- ity on the part of the powers would have good or evil effect. That must be judged by the officers on the other side. We have not the informa ton here that would ena- ble us to fairly judge"
