CABLE FROM BRUCE.
Says street Fighting Continues In
peESing.


London, Aug. 20.-Rear Admiral Bruce
cables the admiralty from Chefu, Aug,
10, as follows:
'Am informed on the authority of the
Japanese that street fighting still contn-
ues in Peking, part of which is on fire.
Yang Sa prevented the empress from
leaving, and a last stand is now being
made in the inner city, which is sur
rounded by the allies and being bonn
barded."
Despite defeat, the Chinese are appar-
emily resolved to make desperate strug
gle not only in their ancient capital, but
also in other parts of the empire. Chang
Chi Tung, viceroy at Hankow, and Liu
Kunyi, viceroy at Nankin, according to
adviccs from Shanghai, have threatened
the consuls that if the person of the en-
press dowager is not respected they will
withdraw from their present friendly at
ttude.
Another Shanghai dispatch announces
the death of Ii Ping Heng, Chcng and
Chang Ii Lin in the fighting before Pc
king.
The mandarins in the southern PROV
inces, according to dispatch to The
Daily Express from Hongkong, have is
sued an important proclamation recogniz-
ing the capture of Peking as n inst pun
ishment of reactionary officials and
warning the people not to interfere with
foreigners, but also pointing out that the
sole object of the powers should be the
punishment of the Boxers and then the
restoration of peace, confining, however,
their operations to the north.

FREELAND, PA, AUGUST 20, 1900.
Death of John J. ingalls,.
m the Phila. North American.

From the Phila. North American.
Time was when the death of John j..
ingalls, would have made considerable
political vacancy, but his life lasted a
good deal longer than his career as a
public man did. 1t is to be regretted,
indeed, that he ever took to politics. or
law either, for that matter, since nature
designed him for a writer. He wrote
very WELL but would have written much
better had he not acquired in part the
mental habits of the politician.
Ambition led him into office-seeking,
but once in Office his instructive dislike
of large and solemn pretense and his
fondness for saying sharp things caused
him to lose favor. He was essentially
a critic. Gifted, or cursed, with a
penetrating eye, pointed tongue and
scornful pen, his most effective place
was outside and not inside the breast
works. He had too much wit and was
too impatient of humbug to keep step
with that timeserving mediocrity
which sets the pace in official life.
The practice of oratory, necessary to
politician, spoiled his style, and his
tendency as a speaker and writer to tell
more scof1ing truth than is expedient
in party politics undid him as a poll
tician. He illustrated what a misfor-
tune it is for man not to follow the
bent of his most obvious talent, As a
journalist, content to be a journalist,
Ingalls, would have taken rank with the
highest, or had he chosen literature
there can be no doubt that he would
have shone.
very clever man has gone, and one
of sturdy character, too. He was not
ashamed to work When he lost his
seat in the senate and was without
means he took up his pen in his old age
and made an honorable living with it,
feeling that there was no dscredit in
seeing and writing about anything
from a prize-ight to political conyen
tion.
1t is a pity that so brilliant mind as
that of ingalls, scattered as it did.
Nevertheless, he enjoyed life, and never
so much as when he escaped from the
harness of party politics and gamboled
over the common of journalism.
Personally he was respected and
liked by those who knew him most in
timately, for ingalls, had an independent
spirit. He was a man.

land, who was frequently applauded dur

satisfaction. Mgr. Ireland had final

Pretoria, Aug. 20.-General De Wet
has appeared north of Comman Mex, &c
miles from here. He sent a flag of truce
to General Baden-Powell demanding his
surrender. This, however, was only 9
plan to discover the strength of the Brit.
ish force.
General Baden-Powell. seeing the ruse
and hoping to detain General De Wet
asked what terms would be given him if
he surrendered. The messenger was
equally sharp and, having learned the
strength of the garrison, returned to
General De Wet who at once resumed
his march northward without the formal
ity of sending his terms to the British
General Baden-Powel is following him.
General Roberts has issued a procla-
nation canceling his previous order re-
garding oaths of neutrality and passes.
Hereafter no oaths will be taken or pass
es granted, and all the burghers will be
regarded as prisoners of war. Houses in
which armed Beers find shelter will be
liable to razing and farms used by the
fighting burghers will be destroyed. Dam
age to the railways will be punished by
fines on land. The reasons for this action
are the lack of appreciation shown by the
Beers and their misuse of the lcnity
shown them, they taking advantage of it
to continue their resistance to the Brit
ish, and the continual breaking of the
oath of neutrality, which the government
of the Transvaal, it is said here has ad-
vised the burghers is not immoral

chosen by the troopers as most dstin-
euished for bravery. Chadwick proves
to be an American. He was one of the
bont's crew who cut the cable at Santa

The queen gave four scarfs to be
awarded for bravery, one each for repre-
sentatives of the colonial troopers from
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and
South Africa. Africa's scarf will there

press Downger Bombarded In the
Inner City.
Washington, Aug. 20.-Is the dowager
empress within the forbidden city?
This question is being asked by Off
clals OF the administration as result of
the following dispatch received from
Rear Admiral Remey under date of
Taku, Saturday:
"Peking telegraph line interrupted.
Information Japanese sources dowager
empress detained by Prince Yungede in
ner city, which is being bombarded by
allles. Chaifee reports entered legation
grounds 14th. Eight wounded during
day hghtlng. Otherwise all we'll"
Minister WI says that there is no
Prince Yungede," and he suggests that
ne person referred to is Prince Yung
Lu, though he is disinclined to believe
the report that the empress is detained,
as he has information that the court fled
westward before the arrival of the al
lies at Peking. Officials consider it ex-
tremely doubtful that the empress is in
the forbidden city, as she undoubtedly
fears that she would be harshly dealt
with if captured.
Persons here acquainted with the Chi
nese say that the entrance of foreigners
INTO the forbidden city would deeply
shock the natives, but it is hoped that if
such step Were deemed best the bril-
liant success of the allies would prevent
any demonstration.
The fact that the telegraph wire is
interrupted is not regarded as serious,
though it is admitted that it may have
been cut by the Chinese and that the
force of the allies at the front is small.
Military experts are confident that the
Chinese are demoralized, and they do not
anticipate any further organized resist
ance.
Two other dispatches relating to Pc
king were received here yesterday, one
by Colonel Ward, acting adiutant gen
eral from General Chaffee. and the 9th
er by Mr.. Takahra, the japanese min
lister, from Tokyo. The substance of the

Willicsbarre, Pa, Aug. 20.-A daring
attempt to wreck a train ON the Lehigh
Valley railroad was made yesterday. A
heavy steel rail 30 feet long was placed
on the track near Port Bowkey. The
road winds around a deep curve ut this
point. One end of the heavy rail wa,
imbedded in the rocky embankment and
the other extended over the track 1t
had 45 degree pitch and was intended
to strike the cylinder of the engine. A
policeman from an overhead bridge hap
pened to look down and saw some OBJ
ject extending over the track. He hasti
ly investigated and then gave an alarm
freight train was stopped in time to
avoid a wreck. 1t required four laborers
to remove the rail. 1t is believed the OBJ.
ject of the men who placed the rail on
the track was to wreck an express train
and in the confusion that would follow
to rob the safe in the express car.
