Prince Ching's troops deserted to
Prince Tuan, and Prince Ching fell. II
was supposed at the time he was killed,
but a search for the body the next
morning was unsuccessful, and it is
now believed he was only wounded,
carried off, and secreted by faithful re-
tainers. Wang-Weng-Shao although
a gray-haired old man of 20, valiantly
led the troops in person. He was
killed, and his force being completely
outnumbered was routed Throughout
the night repeated attacks were made
on the legation, but were invariably re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Towards
the end of the third watch, about 5
a. m, the allies practically defeated
the beseigors, who were wavering and
gradually Withdrawing, when General
Tung- Fuh-Siang arrived from the
vicinity of Tien Tsin with large force
of Kansu braves. By this time the
walls of the legation had been battered
down and most of the buildings were
in ruins from the Chinese artillery
fire. Many allies had fallen at their
poets, and the remaining small band
still alive took refuge in the wrecked
buildings, which they endeavored
hastily to fortify. Upon them the fire
of the Chinese artillery was now dl-
rected. Towards sunrise it was evident
that the ammunition of the allies was
running out, and at o'clock, as the
advances of the Chinese in force had
failed to draw a response, it was clear
they were completely exhausted, and
rush was determined upon Thus
standing together as the sun rose fully
the little remaining band of all the
Europeans met death stubbornly.
There was a desperate hand-to-hand
encounter, in which the Chinese lost
heavily, but as one fell the Others adj
vanced and finally overcome them by
overwhelming odds. Every one of the
Europeans remaining, men, women,
and children, with two exceptions,
were put to the sword in the most
atrocious manner. Two escaped for
only short time and once outside the
wells Of the city both were captured
and killed.

victory in the final heat, they winning

This they followed up by
winning first and second
places in the 100 meters fiat
race, and they would have been first,
second and third but for an accident to
Duffy, who won his heat quite handily,
as we'll as the semi-final, only to have
tendon of his left give way while
leading in the final heat, when half of
the distance from the tspe.
The Americans then won two heats
out of the three in the 800 metres fat
race, all three heats in the 400 metres
fiat race and both heats in the 400
metres hurdle race.
The Americans swept the pool in
the first event for the worlds athletic
championships, the Kilometres hurdle

sity of Pennsylvania, winning; McClain
OF the University of Michigan, getting

SEC'Y GAGE CRITICISES THE CUT.
The War Tax Reduction Bili Discussed at
the Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON. Dec. THE President dis
cussed at some length with the members OF
the Cabinet this morning. the proposed ao-
ton OF the Senate and House leaders In re-
ducinR the war revenue taxes by at least
$40 600 0oo year. Secretary Gage expressed
the opinion that IL is extremely unwise at this
time to reduce the revenue by more than
$40. .O0o. 900. He said:
The added expense Of maintaining an army
Of approx mately 100. 900 instead Of 81 900 men
has been shown to be about so, ,O0O. 900 year
Our receipts from the war taxes approximate
500, 900. 600 a year. so, speaking broadly,
the proposed reduction OF $50. 600. 900 would
leave just about enough special revenues
to meet the extraordinary expenses OF the
army, These extraordinary expenses may last
for two years. II seems unwise TO use up all
Our ready resources by reducing the surplus
TO a minimum or wiping II out altogether.
The credit of the Government IL to be
thought of. We have s9<8. 900. 900 In green
backs. for which We nre under obli gations to
the people: we have $500 OO0. 900 OF silver. with
the constant obligation of maintain ming the

the surplus. then in any emergency. or as a
result OF temporary depression, We shall
be forced either to drift along with deficit
