DENIES STORIES OF STOCK LOSSES:

New YORK, Jan. 23.-Count Boni de
Castellane and the Countess de Castel-
lane, nee Gould, arrived on the steam
ship La Bretagne from Havre, France.
They went to the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
The count was willing to talk about the
stories of his losses by stock speculation
and gambling. On the De Rodays mat
ter, he said:
"De Rodays! He is a-well, what is
De Rodays? De Rodays is liar, he is
a scoundrel-say7 anything you like
about him. He is a-what is such a
person? He is nothing, A nonentity.
What should I care for him? Oh, he is
a iar.'' "
He was asked if he would challenge
De Rodays.
Challenged" he said with hauteur.
Certainly not. I shall not challenge
such man. He is not the kind of a
man to accept challenge. No, I shall
not challenge him, but when I go back
shall slap his face with stick, if he
does not retract. I have prepared a
statement to send to him.
The statement which Count de Cas-
tellane gave out in relation to De Ro.
days, editor of the Figaro, whence comes
the stories that Count Castellane lost
several millions of francs on the stock
exchange and in gambling, translated,
is as follows:
"There has been communicated to me
on board the ship the calumny in the
Paris papers which emanated from the
Figaro. You will at once make formal
denial. I reserve the right on my re-
turn to tell you what I think Of your
disloyal act
81 never gambled in my life," said
Count de Castellane warmly.
When the question of the relation
ship between himself and his wife was
touched upon Count de Castellane said:
"Our relations are perfectly harmon
ious.''
Then he smiled at his wife as she
stood by his side and she smiled at him.
There was seeming good feeling in the
smiles. -

advisable to withdraw all the Presbyterian mis-
sionaries from China. This action was decided
upon at a meeting of the council OF the Board

10 the Rev. George Cornweu and read:
Take all precautions. Draw Fitch Shanghai.

Telephone message received this morning from
Tien-Tsin, saying that Huang-Tsun Railway
station on Chinese line between Tien-Tsln and
Peking was burned to the ground. Huang-Tsun
is about twenty miles from Peking; also that the
Cossack guards had an engagement with the

From United States Consul, Tlen-Tsin, to Ad-
miral Kempff, June 4. 1900.
Please say to the Admiral that the situation
at Tten-Tsin is most alarming. The battle
between the Belgians coming from PaO-Ting- Flu,
in which many Chinese and several Belgians
were killed or wounded, and the following battle
between the COssacks sent TO relieve the Bel
gians in which many Chinese were killed and
three Cossacks wounded 1t caused great ex-
citement among the natives The half way rail
way station to Picking was burned last night
and the railway bridge seriously damaged The
fremen Of the native city holding many
meetings and the officials uneasy. There
are many indications of trouble, and threats are
made that the foreigners viii be nassacred in a
night or two The situation is more alarming
than it was one week ago I think 1t would be
well for Captain McCalla to come up and view
the situation. In the mean time everything
should be in readiness for landing more troops
at short notice
AS the messenger came off to the ship he
was overtaken by a messenger carrying YER
bal message to the various senior officers to
the effect that the above news had been supple
rnented by a telephone message from Tien-Tsin.
and the Boxers were within four miles Of Tien-
Tsn and that five villages had been burned
since the previous message had been sent.

Can you give any information on the sub
tect?
The Tao-Tai OF Shanghai IS a high official. who
will be likely 10 get the earliest trustworthy in
formation, and this personal appeal from the
Minister may bring some news.
Minister WI was much depressed by continued
reports that the legations had been wiped out
and the Ministers murdered. To all inquiries he
sorrowfully shakes his head and says that ne
has absolutely information, and only
hope for the best. The report OF the killing Of
the Russian Minister and his wife another
severe blow. but TO this also Mr. WI said
that he had news.
A rumor was afoat to-day TO the effect that
certain interviews attributed TO Mr.. WI had at
tracted official attention and might be made the
subject Of representa- tions 10 him by the State
Department. 1t is understood that nothing has
yet been done in that direction however. and it
is possible that the particular interviews may be
ignored officially in view Of the realization on
the part Of the officials that the Minister is under
high nervous tension.
