The craze for Kruger coins and
stamps has been SO pronounced that a
complete SGT, is not now to be had in
the regular market. A $1.25 piece is
rated at $3.50, and what is known as
an Extraordinary" crown at $50. This
is because In 1892 the die makers gave
the bullock-wagon shafts, instead Of a
pole (or disselboom.) All coins from
half-sovereigns downward were SO
struck, and got into circulation before
the error was discovered. Any one Of
these coins fetches more than IS.
There is likely, by the way, to be a
slump in the rating of Transvaal
postage stamps. for a Pretoria official
says that he has overprinted stamps to
the value of $1,500,000.

Million Boxers in China Will
BE a Hard Proposition

LONDON, June 9.-Defnite returns
regarding the severe fighting of the
Chinese troops and the boxers that was
going on Thursday between Tien Ts.n
and Pekin had not been received at
Tien Tsn when the latest telegrams
to reach London were nled. The Chin
ese troops, however, had killed many
boxers according to some reports: while
another account had the government
troops sorely defeated in an engage

not yet taken a hand i'm the fighting.
but they are ready to do so at a mo-
ments notice. The boxer movement
affects some hundreds of square miles.
Official dispatches to Viena from Pc
kin aver the sect is more powerful
than any political organization in
China, Embracing no less than four mil
lion, and manipulated by jealous and
adroit men.
The representatives of the powers are
still acting in perfect concert, which
appears for the present to give the Chi
nese government ample chance to put
down the disturbance alone. The Tien
Tsin correspondent of the Daily Mail,
For the last three days the whole
community has been preparing to de-
fend itself against the attack of the
boxers.
There is a continual influx of refugees
who are now crowding the city. This
increases the excitement. Nearl yall of
the villages surrounding Tien Tsin are
joining the boxer movement which is

character
Parties of foreigners when approach
ing the villages are driven back by
armed bands. Yesterday the Chinese
troops were ordered to Machang on the
Grand canal, within twenty miles of
which a large body Of boxers are re
ported to be collecting. Attempts to
re-establish the regular working Of the
Pekin, Tien Tsin railway have hither-
to proved futile. Every night the box
ers set fire to the sleepers and the wood
work of the bridges.
Gen. Mech seems bent upon acting
with energy and dealing out heavy
blows to the rebels. recognizing the
necessity for destroying the prestige
OF the boxers, which have begun to de-
moralize his army.
Secret orders from Pekin for the pro-
lection of the rebels have paralyzed
military action and have raised the
status of the boxers in the eyes Of the
ignorant masses. Although the boxers
declare their first object to be the an
Inhalation of the Catholic converts, the
wire pullers evidently wish to propa-
gate hatred among the country people
against foreigners and things foreign
in general. The movement on the sur
face has a patriotic character but il
may turn ultimately against the dyn-
asty This seems the reason why it has
thus far been treated with a gentle
hand. The legations at Pekin have wiz
