PRICE OF TEA TO RISE
In Consequence of the Troubles With
China.

New York, July 19-AIready the
troubles in China have given rise to re-
ports of a probable increase in the price
of tea and there is little reason to doubt
that efforts will be made to induce tea
drinkers to pay more for their beverage
than they have been doing, even if the
disorder now prevailing in the northern
part of China does not spread to the
south, where the tea fields are. But
unless the boxers do succeed in induc-
ing the southern provinces to join in
the anti-foreign outbreak it does not
seen probable, so many merchants said
that the tea. crop of China can be seri-
OuSly affected. The natives who raise
tea will be just as anxious to sell it as
ever and the home market cannot con-
sumo it all, even in the most favorable
circumstances
Another reason why there should be
little genuine stringency in the tea mar
ket is the fact that India and Ceylon
and Japan furnish a large part of the
worlds tea supply and would grow
vastly larger crops than they do now
were it not for the competition of cheap
China tea. Sti1l, if this composition
should be removed by the spread of an
archy and war into the tea growing
provinces Of China. there is every prob
ability that prices would advance tenn
porarily at least and this would prob
ably result in America in large drop
in the consumption of tea. Neverthe-
less, for some reason or other, there has
recently been a marked advance in the
wholesale price of some grades of tea

will go to Shanghai Kwan and march on
Pekin along the great wall.
the British fleet is already OH the mar
Dor and one press agency reports that Sir
Alfred Gaselee will command the army or
invasion along the north wall, but this
is not confirmed.
The allies need a commander in chief
to direct the entire campaign, but by rea-
son of jealousy among the powers, Russia,
Japan and England are excluded from
naming him. The German emperor is
reported in diplomatic circles to have ex-
pressed a strong preference for French
general as commander, and this solution
is the most natural one. The keenest OBJ
servers do not doubt that, as the cam
paign advances, each power will operate
so far may be possible in the districts
which will naturally fall within its future
sphere of activity.
A deplorable hitch prevents the dispatch
of more troops from Japan to China, ac-
cording to the Toxic correspondent of the
Express. The apparent unwillingness Of
Germany and Russia to consent to the
appointment of a Japanese commander
has caused the mikado's government to
delay the embarkation of the proposed
army corps.

was its son. The name is often eIron-
eously translated the Blue river.
Pekin has not always been the capital
of the empire, but Marking a city far
to the south, was long the seat of gov
eminent, and, as the name Pekin means
northern capital" so the name Nam
king means southern capital" white
river" is the meaning of Pei-ho, near
whose mouth are the forts just seized
by the powers
In some books and maps we see the
words flu" or "hien" added to the names
of many towns These words are not a
part of the names, and some of the best
aliases omit them, for they Iengthen the
name and make it more formidable to
the foreigner. Flu means the capital of
one of the departments into which a
province is diVided-in other words, it
is the residence of the official at the
head of the department. Hen signifies
one OF the districts into which a depart
ment is divided, and when attached to a
place name means that the official III
charge of the district resides there. 1t
is better to omit these merely political
designations.

LOOKING. OUT FOR NO. 1.
Sudden Change of British Plans in
China

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The most important move on the Chi
rection given to the defense of British in
terests. The Indian troops at Hong Kong
instead of going to Tien Tsin, have sailed
for Shanghai and Woo Sung. Sir Alfred
Gaselee may also halt there. This is a
sign that the British government having
been convinced that Tien TSin and Taku
can be held by the allied forces now on
the ground has decided to make serious
preparations for the defense of Shanghai
and the other centers of commerce in mid
die China. This determination is wise,
because Ii Hung Chang has left Canton
to shift for itself and has ordered so 900
ments of the population to march over
land through the Yang Use provinces to
Pekin- The presence of this marauding
army will be menace to the peace of
these immense districts where British
commercial interests are paramount.
The British government is not so blind
as to exhaust it's resources in defending
the Russian iterestS in Manchuria, which
are menaced by the military camarilla a.

quarter where the main sphere of British
trade lies and has ordered reinforcements

BECKHAM LINES SOLID
Opposition is Scattered and I'm
organized.

Lexington, Ky, July 1s.-The dele
gates to the Democratic state conven-
ton met by districts this morning to Sc
lect their members or the committees
for the convention. Notwithstanding
the attacks made on the candidacy of
Governor Beckham and the conferences
of the old leaders during the night, the
Beckham lines were as solid as ever to-
day. Claims were made by the oppose
ton that they have made inroads on the
instructed vote of Governor Beckham.
The Beckham men claimed that they
had 472 instructed votes and as many OF
the instructed delegates as the field
combined, or more than enough to nom
mate. 1t requires SAT to nominate and
the vote against Beckham is scattered
between Black, McCreary, Lewis, Tar
vim, Smith, Pryor and Garrett, without
any effective organization to concen-
trate on any one man against the gov
ernor. The opposition remained scat
tered during the district meetings. None
of those in the field carried more than
one district, while the Beckham faction
claimed a majority in each of the COM
mittees and thereby the control of the
convention.

ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Position Occupied by Lord Roberts at
Pretoria.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Lord Roberts reports from Pretoria a
battle and a fox chase The battle was
brought on by Gen. Botha, who attacked
Gen. POle-CareW'S position east of Pre-
toria while Gen Hamilton was moving
nOrthward and driving back Delarey'S
commando and Gen. French was in the
center, between the two wings. This
was a vigorous counter stroke planned
when Lord Roberts had succeeded in
cutting off the Americans between the
two Boer forces and was pushing back
the weaker column from Waterfall.
The British positions were gallantly
defended by the Canadian and the New
Zealand mounted infantry and the Irish
fusilierS and a series of desperate at
tackS was repulSed.
The losses were balanced on each side,
but included two brave Canadian Off
GERS, Lieutenants Borden and Birch, to
whom Lord Roberts pays a fine trib-
ute.
While Lord Roberts army is virtual
ly on the defensive within few miles
of Pretoria, he has sent Lord Methuen
and General Smith-Dorrien from Kru-
gersdorp to Rustenberg, to clear the
western district, where recent successes
have caused a renewal of the bad feel
ing against the British. The fox hunt
has begun in the Orange River colony,
where Generals Hunter and Rumble were
slowly but surely closing around Gen.
Dewet'S commanders. The fox has sud
denly started across country toward
Lindley, with the mounted forces of
Colonies Broadwood and Ridley in hot
pursuit. The Boer force does not ex-
coed 1,500 men, with five guns and the
'pursuers, If their horses are in good con-
dition, may succeed in running it down.
If this can be done, the pacifcation of
the Orange River colony ought to be eff
fected rapidly, as the remaining COM
mandoes cannot keep up the fight in the
mountains if Van Reenans pass and
Harrismith have been taken from La
dysmith, but. the hare must first be
caught.
The renewal of the Beers activity is
probably due to the effect of the crisis
in China. Mr.. Kruger and Mr. Steyn
have perceived in the far east a diver
sion in their favor which they pre-
viously expected either from European
diplomacy or from American politics

HUNDREDS MISSING.
Texas Families Camping Out
Overwhelmed by WaterspOuts.

Chicago, July ia special to the
Record from Austin, Texas, says:
Three hundred families from Austin,
San Antonio. Fort Worth, Houston and
other towns of the state were camping
along the upper courses of the Llano,
Guadalupe, Nueces and Colorado riv-
ers, when the series of water spouts oc-
CURED in that region two days ago.
But few of these outing parties have
heen heard from since the terrible
floods, and friends of the missing ones
are alarmed for their safety. Searching
parties have made every effort to dis
cover the fate or whereabouts of the
campers, but as yet without success.
