 the Affair From Shanghai.
 London. July 1s.-'The Daily Mail gives the following dispatch from it's Shanghai correspondent, under date of July 17:
 Resumed the Attack on Saturday. ''The allied troops resumed the att tack upon the Chinese walled city of Tien Tsin on the morning of July 14, and succeeded in preaching the walls and capturing all the forts.
 Chinese Completely Routed.
 "The Chinese were completely rout- ed, and the allies took possession of the native city and it's defenses.
 Heavy Losses of the Allies.
 The total losses of the allies in the engagement of Thursday. Friday and Saturday were about 800 killed or wounded. The casualties were grcat- est among the Russians and Japan ese."
 After Hard Fighting the Chiaese
 Fled.
 The guns of the allies did immenss damage to the native city, causing many large confiagrations. and finally silenced the majority of the enemy's guns simultaneously. Then l.500 Rus sians. assisted by small parties of Ger mans and French. assaulted and cap tured eight guns that were in position on the railway embankment for the fort,the magazine of which the French subsequently, blew up. A body of A nxtn Itt-tt trian troops then made sortie and ate tackled the west arsenal. which tho Chinese had occupied. After three hours of the hardest fighting yet ex- perienced. the Chinese fled.
 stiii Outside the Walls.
 When the arsenal had been evacuat- ed by the Chinese. the Americans, French. Japanese and Welsh fusiliers advanced toward the native city and joined with the other attacking forces. The Japanese infantry and . mounted battery advanced to the foot of the walls, supported by the Ameri- cans and French. Despite valiant att tacks, the allies were only able to hold the positions gained outside the walls preparatory to renewing the assault in the morning.
 The CasuaItics Heavy.
 The casualties sustained by the al- lies were exceedingly heavy. especially those to the Americans, French and Japanese.
 Several explosions in the native city were caused by the bombardment.
 The Chinese appear to have ex- hausted their supply of smokeless powder, as they are now using black powder.

To Our Fire Department.

10 DCpdI
Editor Tallahasseean: / am not a
fireman, neither a newspaper CORE
spOndent, but | would ask a little
space in your valued paper to make
a suggestion.
In view of the present possibilities
of Improvement regarding our fire
apparatus and the handling Of same,
it would seem a just time for the
good citizens at the head of this i'm
pOrtant department, to consider fire
fighting in all It's many details.
l wish to call attention to one
branch of this science Eyes we Will
call it science), which appears to
have been underestimate, or at least
has not received due consideration
from our loyal, hard working, praise
deserving volunteer fire boys.
The particular part referred to is
that of the friction of water passing
through hose of various lengths, and
the use of nozzles of proper size to
obtain the best results.
Did our boys ever stop to think
that in l 1-8 inch nozzle, POSSIBLY
we have none of this size, but it will
serve to illustrate) with 100 feet of
hose, that there must be seventy
pounds. pressure at hydrant to have
SO pounds at nozzle, while stream is
flowing? and that using 300 feet of
hose, l02 pounds must he had at
hydrant; also if 500 feet of hose were
in use, the hydfant pressure must be
1874 pound tp maintain so pounds
at nozzle. In the last named in
stance We see that eighty-four
pounds would be lost between dy-
drant and nozzle; now | would ask
what would be the enevitable result
of using 500 feet of hose with 1 1-8
inch nozzle and. an initial dydrant
pressure of fifty pounds?
Suppose under the same cOndi-
tions, a ga inch nozzle be substituted
for the 1-8, can we not readily con-
ceive that a great change would take
place? The question regarding the
exact difference in results obtained
by the use of the two sizes of nozzles
mentioned, l will leave for
the solution of those most
interested, but suffice it
to say that the 1 1-8 inch nozze must
have Just twice as much water as the
three-quarter inch to maintain the
same pressure at nozzle, thus the fric-
ton.
Where force is desired for a fire
stream rather than volume, which is
the case in nine-tenths of all fires, do
not, fire ladies, use nOzzles that are
too large and cripple your service by
the loss due to friction.
This, Mr.. Editor, is intended as
only hint alonga line where there
is lots of room for study.

A Malignant Fever.

A mall gnant fever has attacked
the fancy herds of cattle around Tai
lahassee and we have been requested
to give the matter publicity in the
hope that it Will fall under the eye of
some one who can properly diagnose
it and suggest remedy.
1t comes on in the shape of ma
ignant fever and is proving remark
ably fatal. 1t has been diagnosed by
one local authority as Texas fever
and by another as anthrax. The
COWS most violently attacked have
been pastured upon a low bottom in
the suburbs of the city, and the the
DRY upon which the latter diagnosis
is based is that there is bacili in
the grass which attacks the mucuous
membrane and produces the fever.

CHINESE ASK FOR INJUNCTION
AGAINST HEALTH BOARD.

Camp Will Be Resisted by Force.

San Francisco. June 5.-The attor-
neys for the Chinese Six Companies
this afternoon filed with the clerk of
the United States circuit court an ap-
plicatiOn for an injunction compelling
the board of health of this city to
abandon the quarantine which it has
imposed upon the Chinatown district.
The petition sets forth that 10000 per-
sons are restrained of their liberty, but
that residents of the district other than
Chinese, are not affected by the quar-
antine.
The petitioner denies that there is
any plague within the quarantine quar-
ter or that there has been any person
within the district afflicted with the
disease.
Chinese Consul General Ho Vow
says:
My people will never submit to the
detention camp scheme. We will take
the matter TO the courts, but l fear
that even if we are beaten there the
Chinese will fight before allowing
themselves to be herded over to Mis-
sion Rock by the board of health's in

whole statement is as follows:
Estimated expenditures for the current
year, based upon the expenditures for two
years and five months ending May 81,
1900 $3.50, 610.6S
Estimated income from various sources,
except city taxes, based upon the income
of above period of two years and five
months, $3.50 6210S
Balance to he provided for by tax levy,
500 $3.50.
The figures, upon which the above es-
innate is based, are as follows:
