INCREASES The ANXIETY.
Admiral seymonr's Force Compclle,

Admiral Seymour's Force Compelled
to Return 10 Ticn Tsin.
London, June 2o.-In the house of
commons today Frederick, parlia-
mentary secretary for the foreign Of
flee, amplified the admiralty's news
from Chefoo. He said a Japanese war
ship reported that the Chinese forts
opened fire on gunboate at the mouth
of the river yesterday morning; that
the ships engaged the forts. The en-
gagement was proceeding when the
japanese ships left at $50. Detach-
ments from all the foreign warships
landed Saturday to protect Taku.
There is one Chinese warship at Taku,
which remained passive. Broderick
added that British, Russian, Japan-
ese and French reinforcements nre
due to arrive about Thursday. The
fitting out of the japanese battleship
Asali, being finished at the Clyde, is
being expedited and she is under or
dcrs to sail within a week.
Lord Salisbury, questioned in the
house of lords today on the Chinese
situation, said that lie regretted that
he was unable to enlighten the house
on the state of affairs in China. Adj
miral Seymour had returned to 3Tien.
Tsin, but the government did not ex-
actly know why, no what Seymour's
intentions were.
The failure of the international
forces to reach Picking has generally
intensified anxiety here as to the fate
of the Europeans huddled together in
the legations at the Chinese capital,
and it was feared the check to Sey-
mour's forces, neccssitating his re-
turn to Tien Tsin will lead to large
~accessions to the ranks of the Boxers
and make their suppression still
more difficult.
The French cruisers Guichen and
Admiral Charner have been ordered
to fit out Immediately for China. a
a Paris dispatch says the French
consul general in South China, who
was instructed to send into Tonquin
all French citizens at Yunnan Sen,
cables from the latter place, under
date of the 18th, that he was pre-
vented from leaving with his compall.
ions by the viceroy. His house and all
the missions were burned, his cloth
ing stolen and they are practically
prisoners.
French troops are massed on the
Tonquin frontier in China, but their
march is delayed, as the authorities
fear to provoke an uprising of the
population and a massacre of Europ.
cans before troops could reach them.
Del Case has summoned the Chinese
minister to Paris and requested him
to Immediately telegraph the yiceroy
of Yunnan Sen that France will hold
him personally responsible for the
lives of French citizens.

Troubles OF Lnt.c and Small Cattle
men ana SiiecpMen.
Chamberlain, S. D., June 19.-The
business of cattle hustling as well as
rustling, continues to go onin Lyman
county, west of the Missouri river
from this place. Ed Cherrington has
charge of about go head, and owns
700 head at his White river ranch. 1t
is evident that some of the other cat
tiemen thought that this was more
cattle than n man was entitled to
have. and they informed him that if
he did not drive them away they
would. He paid no attention to the
notice, SO the other day a portion of
aCherrington's cattle We're rounded up
by the other fellows and rushed
across the range for sixteen or eight
cen miles as rapidly as horses could
drive them. The pace was SO hot that
five head of the cattle were found
dead along the trail the following
morning. Mr.. Chcrrington has en-
tered complaint:to the states attor-
ley of Lyman county, aud lie states
that he can show who the offenders
were. This is but one of the many in
stances in which b%ulldozing tactics
have Of late been employed, but the
sheep men have usually been the OBJ
jects selected for imposition. One
sheepman who was in town the 9th
er day stated that he had already re-
ceived his third notice to move Oh
his outfit would be destroyed; and lie
came to town to secure an outfit of
light artillery with which to defend
his property, as he insisted that he
proposed3to remain upon his own land
whether it suited others or not. Dur
ing the past few months a number of
sheep men have been burned out on
the upper ranges.

BIG AUDITORIUM DESTROYED
Convention Building in Des Moines
Burnside Be Rebuilt at
Once.

Dcs Moines, Ia, June 19.-The new
auditorium, built by popular subscrip-
ton last ummer at n cost of $4,000,
was almost destroyed by fire at I
o'clock Sunday mornings; the cause is
unknown, but is supposed to be defec-
tive electric wiring.
A few weeks ago the building was
leased to the w. p Chase Amusement
company, which completed the inter
Tor decorations and the stage furnish
ings at a cost of several thousand dol
lars: This company was using the
building for vaudeville performances,
which continued to a late hour Sat
urday night. The fire started on the
stage, and there is n chance that it
might have been due to some careless
ness there.
The new baseball park is directly
back from the auditorium, and was
the only thing injured besides the
auditorium. The rear and part of The,
sidewalks of the auditorium fclllin and
the entire interior, except the front.
part, used for offices, was burned out.
The loss to the auditorium will
probably be in excess of the So, 900
insurance, as most of the walls will
have to be torn down and rebuilt. -
loss to the amusement eoc<rany is
about $4,000, and to the base ball park
$1,000.
