CONTRADICTION AND SURMISE
THEY MADE Up THE BULK OF THE
NEWS FROM CHINA.
Probable Tint There In Foundation
for the Reported Disagreement
Among the Allies.

New York. August 5--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: News from
China at midnight was mass of contra
dictons and surmises. The most startling
rumor in the air was the story that III
Hung Cnang had committed suicide, but
1t was discredited. 1t was considered more
probable that he was intriguing with the
Russians officials and striving TO break up
the concert of the powers.
Rumors that the allied army had ad-
yanced coward pekin were varied, with
the details of an eight hours engagement
with the Chinese, but this theory SIM
mered down into a skirmisn few miles
west of Tien Tsin, which had already been
reported.
There were persistent reports from Chi
nese sources that the allied cointnandos
had disageed on various points and could
not be induced to order an advance upon
the capital. These differences OF opinion
were probably exaggerated, but there was
probably substratum or tru;h for THESE
Chinese hctions The American, BRITISH
and Japanese commanders are described
as eager for decisive action whereas tne
Russians and Germans do not consider the
united column strong enough for the work,
ana assume that It win be forced 10 retire
to lien Tsin IL 1t starts prematureiy and
inadeqIately supplied with food and aln =
munition.
The responsibility for inaction is sad
died upon every contingent except TN
American column, which according to al
press accounts, is pulsaripg wth energy
and anxious to march to pekin with the
least possible delay.
Two fac:s stand out among all these ru-
mors OF dissensinns One is the reluctance
or the Chinese viceroys and Imperial off,
clals to have the relief column set III no
ton and the other is the mpracticablllty
of having an array conducted by a consult
ing board of six generals or admlrals. TWO
sections OF the allied forces. the Russian
and he German. are believed to be hans-
ing back on The ground that vice Admiral
Seymour's mistake must not be repeater
and that marching orders must he deferred
until the transport Is IN perfect order ana
the troops are ready 20 90 up to the capt.

Chinese reports that Russia INSISTED
upon acting Independently and is oo1ectlns
to an advance upon Pekin are not credited
with those who are va ching the crisi-
most closely some commanders are more
cautious than others. and ne urgency or a

AMERICAN FRUIT ABROAD.


New York, August 6.--Prof. John E.
Smith. State entomologist of New jersey,
has just returned from abroad, where ne
went to investigate the restrictions
against American fruits. Prof. Smith also
Investigated the methods of handling in
sects in European countries.
With regard to the fruits Prof. smith
ascertained that il would be practically
impossible for American fruit to be snip
pea into France, except Ly treaty arrange
menl
Efforts TO exclude American fruits have
been abandoned in Holland. the professor
found but in Belss1L very few American
fruits are received. Officials i'll Germany,
he said. seemed to be fair minded and
disposed to treat shipments more cons'd-
erately.
prof Smith believes that If American
fruit shippers will treat their customers
fairly there will be no trouble about the
sale of American fruits In foreign coun-
tries Everything IS sold a auction, and
never by surface SHOW. One barrel in
every ten is emptied out upon the floor
and the sale r made upon the condition
of the fruit thus displayed
Foreign officials are particular about the
san Jose scale II a single scale is found
on one apple in barrel the entire ship
nent would be excluded.
| New York August 5-A special to the
Herald from Washington says; American
fruit growers obtain an important conces-
sion in the new commercial agreement be-
tween the United States aud Germany,
Tho latter annuls the regulations provid-
ing that the dried and eyaporated fruits
imported from the United sta es be IN
spccted. on account OF he san jose scale
end agrees that such is7'iN shall be ad-
mitted without other charges Than the
regular customs duty
1 This is regarded as n prac ical admls-
sion by the German government that the
original restrictions placed upon Americas
lruits we're reaF,y nothing more than de-
liperate discrimination.
