Atlanta, Ga. Especially Five thou
sand members of the Grand Army of
the Republic and the United Confeder-
ate Veterans Justify cheered the COM
manders of these two organizations.
Gen. Albert r. Shaw and Gen. John
B. Gordon sat together upon the stage
of the Grand Opera House at the kind
ling Of the camp fire of the Blue and
the Gray reunion here. The occasion
was the formal beginning of the re-
union of the surviving veterans OF the
I nion and the Confederate armies who
fought in the battles around Atlanta in
July, 1864.
The auditorium of the theatre was
filled with the veterans, who mingled
in fraternal peace and cheered the bat
tie tunes of Dixie" and Yankee Doo-
die" with equal enthusiasm.
President Mckinley, unable to be
present, sent his regrets in the follow
ing telegram addressed to Hon w. A.
Hemphill. chairman of the executive
committees:
IL deeply regret my inability to be
with you during the reunion of the
Blue and the Gray in Atlanta this
week. Such reunions are gratifying
evidences of good feeling and comrade-
ship and give assurance of the perman-
ence of our Government, resting upon
the patriotism Of a reunited people.
Please express to those who may be
present my cordial congratulations and
best wishes"
The Presidents words brought the
audience to it's feet in burst of APP
plause.
When General Gordon, who was the
first speaker, was presented to the au-
dience by Col. w. A. Hemphill, master
of ceremonies, the cheering continued
for several minutes.
No less enthusiasm greeted General
Shaw, and throughout his patriotic ad-
dress he was listened to with the clos
est attention.
Gen. J. c. Breckinridge, Inspector
General of the United States Army and
distinguished Union veteran and Col.
W. G. p. Brekinridge, Of Kentucky, an
equally distinguished Confederate vet
eran, were on the stage. The former
was presented and after he had con-
cluded an eloquent tribute to the re-
united country his brother, Col. W. c.

FIFTEEN LIVES LOST.
A Cloudburst Brings Havoc to tho Town
of Coleman.

Coleman Texas (SpeciaD Fifteen
lives are known to have been lost in
cloudburst here. Ten bodies have
been recovered, but only two were
identified.
1t is feared that many more lives
were lost in the valley below Coleman.
The cloudburst, which followed three
days unprecedented rainfall, caused
Fords Creek to burst its banks and
rush through Coleman, village of less
than 1000 inhabitants.
Bewildered citizens, reused from
their slumbers, rushed into the streets
and were swept away. Many were
saved by catching pieces of timber and
navigating them into eddies formed by
the swift current, where they were
drawn ashore.
Spath and Fuleisstine managed to
mount their horses. They dashed into
the water and swan their horses to
house where four little girls were
screaming for help. Each rescued two
of the children, whom they took upon
their horses. The animals were swept
away however in a heroic effort to
stem the swift current, and all were
drowned.

Prince Tuan Has Modified this Immense
Army Chinese Fleet Concentrating.
st. Petersburg (By Cable).-A dis
patch from Chefu says:
Prince Tuan has modified $4,000
men, divided into different corps. The
Northern corps has been ordered to ex-
pei foreigners from Amur. The Pekin
army is divided into four corps, the
first of which is to operate against Mud

at Pekin, whence a column numbering
10000 will be sent to Weihaiwei and
Tsintau, while the fourth corps Will
concentrate at Nankin.
There are now $4,000 Japanese
troops in China.
THE Chinese feet is concentrating
in the China Sea, and hostilities are
expected"
A dispatch from Nankin announces
that Prince Tuan has ordered great
military movement. owing to the ap-
pearance of the Japanese in China
The Viceroy Of Nankin has informed
the foreign consuls there that he can
not be answerable for events in Chao-
sin, Ningpo and Chuchau.
The foreigners are fleeing to Shang-
hal. The position is alarming. SIX
teen foreigners have arrived at Nankin
from Ningpo, where the houses of for
eigners have been burned and mission
aries horribly maltreated. The rebel
lion has taken hold of Southern China.
The foreigners at Chuchau and lnchau
have been attacked and are fleeing
panic-stricken.
Reports have been received by the
Russian general staff from the Amur
district showing that the Chinese have
made serious preparations there and
are now concentrated on the railway
line from Aigun to Saghalien. They
are well supplied with artillery and
have large quantities of munitions.
The Russian General Gribovski, afer
reconnoitering the district returned to
Blagovetchensk, capital Of the Prov
ince of Amur, on Monday.
Other official reports confirm the Sc
Tious news of the stoppage of work on
the Manchurian Railway, owing to Chi
nese attacks. especially at Charbin,
where an attack by 400 Chinese was
repulsed on July 8. Charbin is in a
critical state, being cut off from the
west, south and north.
Russian troops have been sent from
different points to protect the railway.
The Chinese, however, are still work.
ing on the eastern section of the line,
which gives hope that energetic meas
ures may succeed in restoring order.
In the opinion of the general staff,
the chief command of the allied forces
at Tientsin will eventually devolve
upon the Russian Vice-Admiral Alex
eieff, in conjunction with the Japanese
Commander-in- Chief.

RIBLY AT TEN TsIN.
COLONEL LISCUM KILLED.
The Allied Forces Defeated In Desper-
ate Attempt at storming the Fortified
Walls, a Movement Fraught with such
Peril ms Almost Seeming to Invite
Dire Defeat

Tientsin (By Cable).-The allied
troops in Tientsin met with disas-
trous repulse in an attack upon the
native city July 10.
The Ninth United States Infantry,
which was conspicuous in the attack,
was according to the accounts at hand,
cut to pieces, losing its commander,
Col. B. II. Liscum, and about 25 per
troops also lost heavily.
News of the disaster came to Wash
ington officially in cable message
from Admiral Remey, dated Chefu,
July 16. He gives the following list Of
losses:
RUSSIANS, 100, including a colonel.
AMERICANS, 80, including Colonel
Liscum, and Captain Davis, OF Marines,
killed, and several officers wounded.
BRITISH, over 40.
JAPAN, 5S. including colonel.
FRANCE, 25.
Admiral Remeys dispatch indicates
that there were two attacks, one in the
morning and one in the evening. The
attack in the evening was repulsed
with great loss"
Press dispatches from Tientsin give
more details of the fight 1t Is stated
that at the time the correspondent left
the field the result was in doubt. AT
that time, according to an estimate by
a surgeon, 25 per cent. of the Ninth In
fantry had been hit and the regiment
was still exposed to direct and enn-
lading fire. A dispatch to the London
News gave similar details.
Col. p. French, who is said to have
been among the Americans killed, is
not known in Washington. The story
of his death is believed to be mistake.
Washington (SpeciaD. - President
Mckinley, on hearing the news from
Pekin and Tientsin, decided to go to
Washington from Canton, where he
has been resting. At a Cabinet meet
ing 1t will be decided whether an extra
session of Congress will be called to
deal with the Chinese situation. A
Cabinet council came to no definite
conclusion. Troops will be rushed to
China. The American force there may
be increased to 25, 900.
The German Government has not yet
decided to declare war against China.
1t is said in Berlin that $4,000 Chinese
troops are we'll armed and drilled and
that 1t will take an army of 100000
men to force way to Pekin.
London dispatches say that the Con-
suls at Shanghai have asked for more
warships to protect foreigners there.
Chefu dispatches through London say
the Chinese masses are rising to defend
Pekin and general uprising would fol-
low retreat from Tientsin. London
considers the position of the foreign
troops at Tientsin desperate.

ALLIES GET TIENTSIN.
After Hard Fight Walled City succumbs
to Foreigners.

After Hard Fight Walled City Succumbs
to Foreigners.
The allied forces who were repulsed
at Tientsin July 13 in an attack upon
the walled city renewed the fight July
IA and succeeded in capturing the city
and forts. The allies lost about 800
men. Chinese losses were heavy.
The fact of the fall of Tientsin is
stated officially by Admiral Remey in a
dispatch to the Navy Department at
Washington. 1t was dated Chefu, July
IL. He said:
"The city and forts (of Tlentslr)
are now in the hands of the allies"
Admiral Remey said the total losses
of the allies reported were IT'S. OF
these he said 215 were said to be
Americans, 40 Of the Marine Corps and
IT'S of the Ninth Infantry. He was
of the opinion that the losses might be
exaggerated. Communication, he said,
was difficult, and he awaited more ac-
curate information.
Press dispatches from London and
Shanghai confirm Admiral Remey's
cablegram. They say that the allies
battered down the walls of the native
city at Tientsin July IA, routed the
Chinese and took the city and forts.
The losses of the allies were placed
at 500 men.
WI Ting Fang, Chinese Minister at
Washington, has received a dispatch
from Sheng, Director of Posts in China,
saying that the foreign legations were
safe ,fuly 8. The same dispatch was
made public in London. 1t is pointed
out there that the Chinese use the old
style calendar and that the real date
is July 5. 1t is peculiar that the au-
thority given for the dispatch is the
same as that given for the massacre
of foreigners two days ago.

POWERS MAY CONFER.
Italian Governments In Receipt of Pro-
posal for international Agreement.


posal for international Agreement.
Rome (By Cable) 1.-The Government
has received a circular from M. Del
casse, the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, which it is understood has been
dispatched to all the powers, proposing
an international agreement for joint
action in China and the future attitude
of the powers. The matter is still un-
der consideration here. Lord Salisbury,
the British Premier, and Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, 1t is understood, has
already replied in a friendly spirit,
The replies of the United States and
Russia have not yet reached NJ. Del
casse, nor has the reply Of Germany.
The latter Government, 1t appears,
had previously made a somewhat SINH
lar proposal to the United States
alone. 1t is reported that President
Mckinley hesitates to join with the
other pations, but it is regarded as
practically assured that all the pow
ers, in view of the danger of the situa-
tion, will negotiate regarding M. Del
casses proposal and finally sign an
agreement on the Chinese question.
