BOXERS STILL AGGRESSIVE.
Powers VIII Seek to Change the
CmDress DOua.er's Mind.

empress
London, June s, PAS p. m.-Dispatches
from the Far East show apparently no
cessation in the activity of the Boxers,
but the Powers are gradually feeling their
way to common action for the suppress
sion of disorders.
1t is believed that when the Dowager
Empress realizes the firm intention 10
check her connivance in the anti-foreign
movement there will be a speedy end TO
the riotinC, as if the Chinese acted in good
faith they could easily quell the rabbie
which is armed chiefly with spears, agri-
cultural implements, a few swords and
some old rifles.
A dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated Thurs
day. June T. 4 p. M, shows the British
reinforcements had not then started for
Pekin as expected, owing to the refusal
of the authorities to allow them to en-
train. although the British offered to re-
pair the line as they went.
Additional Russian and Austrian troops
have arrived at Tien Tsin, and the Ger
man cruisers Hansa and Gefon have
started from Kioa Chou for Taku with
marines intended for the same destination
The fact that much needed rain has
fallen is expected at Tien Tsin to have a
good effect in accelerating the suppress
sion of the rising, as the farmers in the
movement will return to their ordinary
pursuits.

FATE OF BRITISH PRISONERS.
Probable That $500 of Them Have
Been Recovered.

London, June S.-Public interest centers
largely in the fate Of the British prison
ers in the Transvaal, but it seems prob
able that about $500 have been recovered,
including 129 officers. The federals, there
fore, have removed about thousand as
hostages.
In view of Washington Associated Press
advices that United States Consul Hollis
has no official errand to the Transvaal,
there is little disposition to regard his
movements as at all significant.
A special dispatch from Pretoria says
that the only smell which took effect in
the town the day prior 40 the. occupation
of Pretoria, hit the United States consul
ate.
a dispatch from Cape Town announces
that the work of organizing the govern
ment of the Transvaal is proceeding. A
portion of Sir Alfred Miners staff has
gone 10 Pretoria to start the machinery
so the proclamation of the annexation of
the Transvaal may be speedily expected.

BEATEN BECAUSE A COUNTRYNrAN.
John Tanner Brutality Assaulted by
Three Youngsters.

John Tanner, young white man. was
assaulted and brutally beaten last night
at Liberty and Lincoln streets by three
white boys whom. he says are Chandos
Rolf, Mike Sola and Tom Mallea.
Tanner has but recently come to Savan-
nah from the country, and this according
to his story. the boys who beat him. made
him. from their viewpoint, the legitimate
butt OF offensive ridicule and scurrlous
jests until he was goaded into replying
and then they set upon him with sticks
and beat him most numerically. He re-
ceived a welt ON the cheek that swelled
IL TO almost twice its normal size, and
also a cut across the forward part of his
skull that bled most profusely, together
with many other bruises. Persons who
were at the scene say that but for the
timely interference OF some of the by
ISLANDERS Tanner would have been seri-
ousN hurt IL not killed outright.
When the police arrived all of the as
sailants had escaped. but they are known,
and will be arrested probably by this
morning.
Tanner was taken to the barracks.
where his wounds were dressed by DIT.

WILL PLAY FOR 900.
Brunswick and Jacksonville Ball
Teams Here This Week.

The Brunswick and the Jacksonville
baseball teams will play a series of three
games here Thursday. Friday, and Sat
urday for a forfeit of 81 600
This is the information contained in
letter from Manager Henry Hirsch of the
Brunswick team received yesterday by
Mr.. Dan J. Charlton.
BY this arrangement Savannahians are
assured of some good ball playing as aside
from the size of the stake, sufficient to
put even some of the big teams on their
mettle, the rivalry that has existed be-
tween the two mines since the beginning
OF the season will make them play the.
best ball of which they are capable That
Brunswick can play ball was shown in her
recent work here and an equally gooo
guarantee of Jacksonville's ability is found
in the fact that on her own grounds, in a
series with Brunswick earlier in the sea-
son, she made it three straights. That
Brunswick duplicated this performance on
her owns grounds shows that the teams
are so nearly equal that barring accidents
and bad weather, good games are assured
AS Manager Hirsch stated when he was
IN savannah last week, he prefers to play
on the Savannah grounds, both because
he wants a neutral ground on which to
play these games and because he knows
SaVannah 10 De good baseball city and
willing to patronize any clean and clever
game.
In the recent games the players partic-
ularly the outfield, were considerably
hampered by the state of the grounds, the
long weeds and one or two drainage
bitches being responsible for more runs
than looked well in the totals. But for
the coming series all this will be RENE
died The weeds and grass will be cut,
the bitches filled in and such other i'm
provements as may be found necessary
or convenient made.
Both Jacksonville and Brunswick are
loyal supporters of their respective teams,
and Mr.. Hirsch has made arrange
ments with the railroads to run excursions
form both places for this series, there is
no doubt that many of the home rooters
will be on hand to cheer on their favor

NO CHECKS For NAMES.
Savannah Enumerators Have Not
Been Paid for Their Work,


No checks from the government for
their services in taking the census have
yet been received by the enumerators in
this district. 1t is not known why che
delay has occurred. but it is not confined
only to the enumera tors of the Savannah
district. as complaints have come from
Others In the Macon district there have
been no checks as yet, and there too, the
enumera ors are wondering about the de-
lay.
None of the schedules sent on from Sa-
vannah have been returned TO Supervisor
Henry Blum, Jr., for correction or revis-
ion Save for the schedules from a few
of the outlying districts of Chatham all
from the county have been forwarded.
Capt Blum regards ii as rather a distinc-
tion that there have been none returned.
1t is expected the schedules from the out
lying districts will soon be forwarded.
Capt Blum says work on them was de-
layed by reason of the fact that he ex-
pended more time than he had antici-
pated upon the Savannah schedules, be-
ing anxious to get them as nearly cor
rect as possible.
1t is not known how much the enumer-
ators will receive for their services. They
are paid by the number of names they
secure, but the rate at which they are
paid is not given out. Neither the super
visor nor the enumerators are allowed to
divulge this rate.
The Chattanooga enumerators have been
paid. The Chattanooga News of recent
date had the following about the receipt
of checks:
Several of the Chattanooga census emu
merators have received their checks from
Washington. The amounts run from $50
TO $1,000 according TO the territory of the
enumerators. This quick return of the
checks is indicative of thorough organiza-
tion of the census bureau in Washington.
as the enumerators here ten years ago did
not receive their checks until long after
September following the taking of the
census.
Some of the enumerators this year will
be delayed in their payment owing to the
fact that reports were referred back to
them for correction. and for other causes,
but all will have been paid off early in
next month.

DIR. j. l.. SMITHS CASE.
If Reward Is offered One Man Says
He Will Produce the AssniIants

There is yet no definite solution of the
mysterious assault upon DR.. j. l.. Smith,
nor yet any new theory as far as the
police are concerned, that is likely 10
lead to an unravelling of the case.
There is a possibility, however, that
there may be developments to-day. A
man, who recently came here from At
lanta, and who is at present at work here,
said yesterday that he was in possession
of the facts in the case, and that if DR..
Smith wozIld offer a reasonable reward,
rhe would Dut him in possession of the
names OF the men who made the assault,
and such further information concerning
them, as will lead to their arrest If he so
desires.
The person. who made this statement
has not conferred with the police, nor
had he, up 10 a late hour last night, ap-
preached DR.. Smith with any PROPOSE
ton. ttits K4SfgtKE
DIR. SmAh was still confined to his bed
yesterday. but thinks it possible that he
may be sufficiently recovered to-day to
go to his home on Liberty street, where
the assault took place. His brother of
Atlanta js here visiting him, and posi-
bly, may remain for some days. in the
effort to ferret out the persons who were
guilty of the assault.
