satisfactory.

Ever since it was demonstrated that
liquid air could be readily produced
on commercial scale it has been
hoped and expected that one of the
principal uses to which it would be
applied would be that of an explosive
material for blasting purposes particu-
larly in mines, where the new explo-
sive would have the important advan-
tages of safety in handling and of not
vitiating the air, like gunpowder or
dynamite, by the gases of ignition.
Some months ago report an
nounced that liquid air had been
formally adopted for blasting pur-
poses in the government coal mines
in Germany, says Consul General Ma
son, of Berlin, in report to the State
Department but inquiry proved that
this announcement was at least pre-.
mature.
Among the most systematic and in
teresting practical experiments this
far made in this direction has been
the series of tests lately undertaken
by the Vienna Crystal Palace Ice
company IN the presence of experts
from the Austrian technical committee
for the War Department. The liquid
air used in these tests was obtained
from the Linde Company at Munich,
and shipped to Vienna in open TASKS,
provided with the Dewar vacuum jac.
ket and packed with felt and cotton
wrappings in wooden cases, with a
loose cap of felt over the open mouth
of each flask.
When put up at the laboratory for
shipment the liquid contained rs per
cent. oxygen and 25 per cent. nitro
gen; but before it had reached Vienna
and was used in the experiments it
had lost about half it's bulk by evapor-
alton, and what remained contained
S5 per cent. oxygen to Is per cent
nitrogen. The absorbents used in pre-
pairing the cartridges were silicious

Admiral Remey's Report on the Move

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Navy De-
partment has made public the following
dispatch from Admiral Remey:

resistance by the Japanese force at day
break on the 18th. The Chinese apparently
retreated toward Peking. Large quantities
Of arms and rice were captured at the same
time.
Beyond the important diplomatic ex-
changes of the day and the receipt OF the
Conger message the chief interest in Wash

OF the allied armies. From Japanese

ton frs, in the Toxic advices that Tung-

confirming this report The minister
promptly communicated his information TO
the Department of State and it was accept
ed by the officials, including the Secretary
OF War, as the latest and
most authentic news OF the
whereabouts of the relief column. Some
days had elapsed. however, since this oc-
cupation of Tung-Chow and there had been
ample time to cover the twelve miles be-
tween that place and Peking. Whether
the allied forces actually were there, was
the all-absorbing question on which every
one in official and in unofficial life awaited
word with keen anxiety. Secretary Root
was satisfied that Tung Chow had been left
behind and this was one of the reasons
why it was regarded as futile to consider
tice at Tung-Chow.
n dispatch was received during the day
from Admiral Remey conveying the
Japanese report of the occupation of Tung-
Chow and adding the statement. also on
japanese authority, that the attack on
Peking was expected to be made yester-
DAY. A dispatch was sent to General
Chaffee, but its contents were not made
as unimportant, it doubtless made the
American commander aware of the fact
that there was no deviation in the Ameri-
can attitude. A dispatch also was sent to

giving him the benefit of the latest de-
velopments.
In connection with the foreign differences
arising at Shanghai il may be significant

A telegram has been received at the Jap
anese legation from the Foreign Office at
Toxic. stating that at a conference held
on the 7th inst. at Yang-Tsun the COM
manders of the several forces decided to
push on at once to Peking. The forces
were headed by the japanese and followed
in order by the Russians, British and
Americans. They expected TO reach Tun-
Chow on the 18th. The French troops were
compelled by the inadequacy of their COM
missariat TO remain at Yang-Tsun, while
the small bodies of Austrians, Italians and
Germans turned back TO Tien-Tsin. I'm
mediately upon the fall of Tien-Tsin the
Russians set about repairing the Tien-Tsin-
Peking Railway, which will be repaired as
far as Yang-Tsun about the 10Th of this
month. The Chinese from Shan-Hai-Kwan
report that the Russians are repairing the
Tong-Tu-Lut-Ai Railway toward Shan
HaiKwan. Russian engineering officers
with about eight hundred men of the rail-
way corps at Ussuri are expected at Tien-
Tsin.
The British consul at Tien-Tsin says he
has been informed by Chinese from Peking
that Ii Ping Heng arrived at the capital
with ten thousand men, and after an au-
dience with the Empress dowager left with
them for an unknown destination. The
Empress dowager will. il is believed, take
refuge in Ta-Fuen-Fu, in Shan-Si.

will be well; if not, no one knows what
the end will be. The minissersshave re-

on the field be instructed to arrange an

response that General Chaffee already had
been given complete instructions empower

concert with other commanders for the de-

their protection to the relief column, not
at Tung-Chow as had been suggested but
at the imperial city of Peking Further
