SIR CLAUDE SCORES
CHINESE OFFICIALS

London, Aug. 2, 4 q. m.-AnOther let
ter has been received at Tien Tsin from
the British minister, Sir Claude Mac
Donald, dated July "a.
I'VE are surrounded by imperial
troops" he writes, who are firing on
us continuously. The enemy is enter
prising, but cowardly. We have pro-
visions for about fortnight, and are
eating our ponies.
The Chinese government, if there be
one, has done nothing whatever to help
US.
IF the Chinese don't press the at
tack we can hold out for. say. ten
days. So no time should be lost if a
terrible massacre is to be avoided"
Yet a Shanghai special says Ii Hung
Chang has received a decree, dated
July Is, commanding him to inform the
cOnsuls that the ministers We're sal
on that date.
Evidently Sir Clagde Macdonald was
over pessimistic, as DR.. Morrison, under
date of July q, announces the arrival
of supplies. In view of this it is quite
within reason that the edict annOunc-
ing the safety Of the ministers on the
2Sth IS correct.
Commenting upon DR.. Morrison S
dispatch the Times says:
1T is now beyond doubt that the

tory to a direct stroke at the capital
'Of the so 600 allies debarked at Pc
Chi Ii ports, English military observers
consider that 10000 are available for
an advance beyond Tien Tsin.
THE Chinese forces, according to the
vague gatherings of the allies intelli
gent officers, up to July q, were dis
posed in a great arc thirty miles long
and distant ten or fifteen miles. Tho
numbers and exact location of the sew
eral divisions are utterly unknown.
The Pei-Ho river is blockaded bv
sunken stone-laden junks for twenty
miles beyond Tien Tsin and farther up,
according to Chinese spies of the al
lies, and a dam has been constructed
for the purpose of flooding the low
lying eXpanse of country.
THE first engagement of the relief
expedition will probably be at Pei Tang,
where the viceroy of Yulu personally
commands.
This information was brought to
Tien Tsin Wednesday, July %, by a
| Chinese missionary student who was
sent by the British legation. He re
ceived the message entrusted to him
and left July Is. He saw few troops
! between Pekin and Yang Tsu. No
works had been constructed. Food in
Pekin was scarce and the city would
be quite unable to endure a siege.
Among the scraps of information
brought by another courier who left

HAWORTH To Be
SHOT TO DEATH
Sentence Is Passed OH the
Convicted Murderer.
WILL BE EXECUTED
In PENITENTIARY
Judge ROlapp, at Pennington
Denies New Trial.
Especial to The Herald.)


Pennington, Aug. Nathan F.
Haworth, who was convicted on June
20 of murder in the first degree for
the killing of Thomas Sandal the
Layton nightwatchman, was sentenced
this afternoon to be shot at the state
prison on Sept IA. 1900. between the
hours of 10 a. m. and p. m He was
remanded to the custody of Sheriff L.
E. Abbott, who took him to the peni-
tertiary this evening and turned him
over to Warden Dow
Haworth received his sentence I'M
f1inchingly and when he was given an
opportunity to speak said he was in
nOcent of the crime A few moments
after the death penalty had been pro-
nounced Haworth smilingly shook
hands with his attorney. A. j. Weber,
and with others. , His demeanor was
little if any changed by the apparent
certainty of his impending doom.
Plea For New Trial.
The morning session of the district
court and the time during the after
noon up to 2:45 was occupied in argu-
ments by Attorney Weber for the de-
PENDANT and Attorney E. NJ. Allison for
the state on the motion for a new
trial
The grounds on which Mr. Weber
asked that a new trial be granted were
that the court erred in not granting a
change of venue; that error occurred
in the charge to the jury wherein il
was stated that circumStantial evil
dence. if fully established, was entitled
to the same weight as direct testimony
also wherein the charge said the evil
dence of a confession by defendant il
made by one in sound mind and il
cOrrobOrated by known facts, was en-
titled to great weight" Another
ground was that the court erred in al
lowing the testimony of H E Grant
impeaching that of Reavis, an alleged
accomplice of HawOrth, to be intro
