allies when my report left were pursuing the Chinese, but owing to the floods, prog ress was difficult,
 Thus the Chinese will have to reform and to recover from the effects of the bat tie. Only a small garrison with fourteen guns remains at Ten Tsin, where some anxiety is felt because of a report that 15,- GOO Chinese are moving two days march to the southeast"
 All the correspondents agree in praising the bravery and organization of the Jap anese, but none of them brings the story much beyond General Chaffee's report.
 Ii Ping Hen, according to the Shanghai correspondent of the Standard, has been appointed generalssimo of the Chinese forces and has left Pekin to command the troops outside the town.
 A Shanghai special says that official ad- vices from Tokio announce that armed col lisions have occurred between parties of Russians and Japanese outside Taku. This, however, as it comes by way of Shanghai must await confirmation before being cred- ited.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail, confirming the massacre of mission aries at Gnu Chow Flu says that two American women were among the victims. The Sebastopot correspondent of the Daily Graphic asserts that the Russian govern ment will send 125,00 additional troops from Odessa to the far east before the end of the year.
 Berlin dispatches say it is rumored there that an agreement has been reached be- tween Emperor Nicholas and Emperor William whereby the German troops will be permitted to proceed to China by way of Siberia. The Royal arsenal at Wool wich has been ordered to send 30,000, ,O0O rounds of small ammunition to China.

AMERICANS TOOK PART
Chaffee Succeeded in Getting Part of His Men in Line

Washington, August 1.-The information which came today that American troops were engaged in the battle at Pietsang es- tablished positively for the first time that notwithstanding the difficulties which Gen eral Chaffee had encountered in debarking troops and supplies, at least part and considerable part of our force was in the vanguard of the forward movement.
 General Chaffee's announcement that the present objective point of the internati tional column is Yang Tsung is interpreted by the officials at the War Department to and wagon road meet is to be made the advance base for the operations on Pekn
 The most positive addition to the news of the Senate was the brief line from the Associated Press correspondent at Tien Tsin stating that the Ninth and Fourteenth Infantry, Reilly's Battery and the marines were in the battle of Pietsang. It was this fierce which, with the British and Japanese bore the brunt of the attack on the left flank, which was to turn the enemy's posi- tion.
 It Is perhaps noteworthy and significant that in this plan of attack upon the enemy at Pietsang, the American, British and Japanese were joined in the movement to turn the enemys flank while the Russians and French operated together on the oppo- site side of the river against the enemy's left. This may indicate the line of cleav- age among the allies, whose general dis -~---~~~-~~-----~-

CHINA MUST FIGHT
Diotum of Ii Hung Chang in Case of
 Advance

London, August S-(3:45 a. m.)-"In case the troops advance the Chinese must fight. The suggestion that the allies should be allowed to enter Pekin in order to escort the ministers to Tien Tsin is absolutely impossible"
 This is the dictum of Ii Hung Chang. It was transmitted last evening to MT. William Pritchard Morgan, member of parliament for Merthyr Tydvil, by his agent at Shanghai. The agent had carried to Earl Lii a message from MT. Morgan urging that the allied troops be allowed to enter the capital and stating that a settlement could be made at Tien Tsin whereby war of the world against China would be averted, but even the optimistic Ii failed to hold out the slightest hope of it's feasi- bility, although he reiterated to MT. Nor gan's agent his declaration that the min- isters had left Pekin, fixing the date of their departure as August 2. The agent makes this comment: "The consuls are without confirma tion."
 The messages have been sent to Lord Salisbury accompanied by statement by MT. Morgan urging that the allies should take no step to endanger the lives of the ministers.
 message from the Belgian minister dated Pekin, August seems effectually to dispose of the rumors that the ministers have either left or are intending the leave Pekin.
 The Chinese Minister in London, Sir Chih Chen Lofeng Luh, says he has received a telegram from China announcing that a long imperial edict was issued on August authorizing the immediate and safe con- veyance of all Europeans in Pekin to Tien Tsin.
 Several dispatches are printed, giving hearsay accounts of Sundays battle. The Daily Mails correspondent at Che Foo. tell sgraphing Monday, says:

JEFFERSON ALMOST UNANIMOUS
Etowah, for the First Time in Fourteen Years, Has Elected a Democratic Representatives. Coun-
 ties Not Heard From.

Fuller returns from Mondays election were received yesterday, and they go to swell the majority for the Democratic ticket. Later returns, also, indicate that every county claimed by the Democratic campaign committee prior to the election has given a substantial majority. for Col. onel Sanford and his running mates. It is hardly probable that more than half dozen counties have given majorities against the Democrats, and these counties have not been Democratic in years.
 The majority for the State Democratic ticket will be close to 6O000, the estimate Chairman John V. Smith of the campaign committee made on Monday night; it may go even higher.
 Etowah for the first time in fourteen years has elected a Democrat to represent her in the Legislature; Cherokee has come back into the party after eight years with the Popuists; Calhoun sends two Repre- sentatives to swell the Democratic majori- ty in the General Assembly, and with Cle- burne elects a Democratic State Senator.
 
 night last night only Coesa St. Clair, Franklin and Chiffon had given majorties adverse to the Democrats r. In Jefferson County the vote was almost unanimous for the Democratic State and county tickets Returns were received yes- terday from number of the precincts, but most of them came to the sheriff's office without any announcement as to the num- Der of votes cast or the majority for the Democratic ticket. The total vote of the county will not be known until the official count is made. Several additional counties were heard from yesterday, and all with the exceps tions above noted, give the Democratic ticket majorities.

Payment of Tribal Taxes

South McAlester, l. T., August 7.-Gov- ernor McCurtain of the Choctaw Nation today received the final direction from the Attorney General of the United States in regard to the payment of tribal taxes by non-citizens living in incorporated towns in the Indian Terriotry According to the decision the contention that the purchase of a town lot in one of these nations exon crates a non-citizen wishing to engage in business from compliance with the laws of such nation and pives him a license to engage in business therein in defiance of such laws, connot be sustained. Non-citi- zens therefore will be required to pay tribute taxes as long as tribal govern ments are maintained

SEVERAL CONFERENCES HELD
All of the Distinguished Democrats on the Special Tram Expressed Them- selves as Satisfied With the
 Present Political Outlook

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-The special train bringing Mr. Bryan and MT. Steven son to this city, where they are tomorrow to be officially notified of their respective nominations by the Democratic party for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, reached Indianapolis at 7:20 D. m. today
 The train was in charge of the county Democracy of Chicago, and 1t was com posed of twelve coaches, all filled to the brim with Democratic workers The first ten cars were occupied by the members of the Chicago organization. The next coach was given over to the representatives of the press. Messrs. Bryan and Stevenson and their friends and chief supporters oc- cupied the rear choach of the train. It was completely filled by distinguished people, including not only the two candidates, but their wives and also other members of their families.
 Chairman Jones of the national commit tee and his wife were in attendance, as were Governor and Mrs. Thomas, Secre- tary Walsh and Sergeant-at-Arms Martin, of the national committee, and many of the leading members of that organization. Hon. Samuel Acschuer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinois, Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Hon. Webster Davis, late As sistant Secretary of the Interior under the present administration, were among the distingueshed guests of the occasion.
 The afternoon was devoted to confer ences between the leaders of the party, who were brought together for the first tim since the Kansas City convention. The tone of these conferences was generally very hopeful. Senator Jones expressed him self as especially pleased with the out look in New York. NIT. Davis participated freely in the conversations, and announced his ihteation to speak during the campaign in several States of the Union, including New York. He said he accepted the Dem ocratic platform in toto, but that he would devote himself especially in his speeches to the exploitation of the subject of inn perialsm He expressed the opinion that the Boers would never surrender long any of them were left, and said he had heard that Presidents Kruger and Steyn outline the determination of their peo- pie.

Bryan Rode on the Engine


 MT Bryan and Mayor Harrison rode on the engine at the invitation of the railroad authorities between Lafayette and Lebanon. The principal stops were made at Kankakee, H.. and Lafayette, Ind.
 At each of these places the candidates were given a reception which was a real reminder of the crowds, as it was also of the enthusiasm of the campaign of 1S96 At both places large concourses of men, wo- men and children awaited the coming of the train and at Kankakee the first speak ing of the tour was indulged in. The streets in the immediate vicinity of the train at this point were literally covered with a mass of human beings, all strug- gling to get look at the distinguished men whom they knew to be aboard the train. Mayor Harrison introduced MT. Bryan, saying he believed firmly that the patriot ism and good sense of the American people were too great to replace In the office of President at Washington any man who did not represent the plain people of the coun- try as Jackson and Lincoln had represented them. MT. Bryan was such man, and he took great pleasure in introducing him.
 MT. Bryan said:
 T am very cautious man, and while have seen it stated in the papers that I was nominated for the Presidency, l know that you cannot always trust what you see in the papers Qaughter), and l am not going to take 1t for granted that I have been nominated until am officially notified of 1t down at Indianapolis. I do not want to make a speech as the Presidential candi- date until l am sure I am nominated. (Laughter and applause).

Mr. Stevenson, the nominee for Vice President, is along, and Governor Thomas of Colorado, who Is to notify him of his nomination is on the train, and I believe has privately informed him that he has been nominated, and therefore he has more reason for making a speech than I have, and l take pleasure in presenting to you your candidate for Vice President who Is, hope and believe, to be the next Vice President of the United States, Hon. Adai D. Stevenson" (Applause).
 Mr. Stevenson also excused himself and introduced MT. Alschuer, about whose can didacy he said there could be no doubt. MT Alschuer made brief address express ing his belief in the success of the national ticket and calling upon his hearers to do their duty at the polls.
 At Lafayette MT. Bryan did not speak, except to introduce Governor Thomas. The Governor assured his hearers that Bryan and Stevenson would carry every State in the Rocky Mountain region by majorities equal to those by which he carried them in 1S96.
 Nothing on earth remained to be done bnt for. Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Wis consin to do their duty they had done before If they did so the party would give them President of the United States who wore no mans collar and who belong ed to the common people. (Applause)
