amendment that was offered and
accepted yesterday before the final
vote on the bill was taken shows
their efforts to be only partially
successful

take his COW out, as she could not

Ehave sngered him, and whom one of

Hooked it up. When Louis Zwybold,
lChristmsn's helper, went after 1t
Feather told linn he ought to pay
him something for 1t, but gave It up
wit hout insisting on payment Of any
amount, but told him to tell Christ
man to come down and get his boat.
When lie returned to the house aud

Mrs Chrlslman walked down to get
their boat, intending to tie 1t up fur
ther up the river When they reach
ed the boat Feather was apparently
waiting ard expecting them. One

man turned to go home, when Fea.

The wounded man walked probably

hausted. Hudson Feather came to
town and gave hims;.lf into the custody
of Town Marshal Campbell, saying he
had shot q man in self defense He
says that when Christman started for
the house lie thought he was going for

Hudson Feather hears bad reputa-

mans wife, about a year ago, and about
six months ago threatened to shoot
Arthur Blake when he refused him
permission to cross his farm in getting

hopes of his recovery.

SPLENDID FRUIT CROP THIS
YEAR.
A Summary of the Official Re.
ports Given.

The present year promises TO
be phenomenal one in regard
to fruit of all kinds. Beginning
with the strawberry crop, in
Florida, Georgia, Texas and later
over the whole Atlantic Coast
and interior valleys and including
wild blackberries, plums and
huckleberries, there never has
been a more uniformly large yield
than is now being picked.
According to the June report
of the agricultural department,
the apple crop is exceptionally
favorable, the whole of the ii
States having 100000 or more
trees in bearing in 1890, report
ing condition above, and many
of them considerably above their
ten year averages. The condition
in New York is the highest re-
ported from that state in Is years.
while Kansas, Pennsylvania,
Maine, Virginia, Michigan, North
Carolina, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennes.
see are from 4 t" 23 points above
their respective ten year average
condition. In fact, all but six
states have the promise of more
than an average crop.
The peach crop promises to be
phenomenal one, almost every
important peach growing state
reporting a condition far above
the average, and some even above
100. Among the latter are Dele.
ware, Georgia ana North Caro-
lima, whose reports of JOG, 40
and 105 are about double their
respective ten year averages,
while Virginia reports 46 above,
Alabama and Tennessee each A
above, and the other ten impor
tant peach growing states report
from 10 to II points above their
ten year averages. Only CalifOr-
mia, with a condition Of II. or s
points below the average, consti-
tutes any noteworthy exception
to the long series of highly favor
able reports.
In the meantime sugar is ad-
vancing in price by leaps and
bounds, and the far. sighted
housewife will do well TO study
the probability of still further
raise, as the preserving season
advances forward, and will act
accordingly.
South Carolina's peach crop
could hardly have been better,
and it has had the advantage OF
being one of the earliest on rec
ord. For weeks carload after
carload Of peaches have been
going forward to northern and
eastern markets from the famous
Ridge fruit section.

Attitude.

Attitude.
London, June 25, 8 a. m.-The
position OF the international forces
in the section of northern China
where 10000 men are striving to
keep a footing and to succor the
legations in Pekin appears to in
crease with peril in every fresh
dispatch. Pekin has not been
heard from direct for IA days.
The last dispatch was imploring
aid. Admiral Seymour's column
of 1000 was last heard from -
days ago. At that time it was
surrounded midway between Pc
kin and Tien Tsin. Possibly now
it has reached Pekin. The 5000
internationals at Tien Tsin were
hard pressed and fighting for
their lives on Thursday, and a re
lieving force of less than 1000
had been beaten back to Taku
Friday. Observers Oh the spot
think that 100000 men would
not be too many to grasp China
firmly.
The admiralty has received the
following from the British rear
admiral at Taku:
"Cheefoo, June 23.-Only one
runner has got through from Tien
Tsin for five days. No information
could be obtained except that the
foreign settlement had been al
most entirely destoyed and that
our people were fighting hard.
News is received as this tel
egram is dispatched that an at
tempt to relieve Tien Tsin on
June % was repulsed, with some
loss"
The telegram also said "The
allied admirals are working in
perfect accord with the Russian
vice admiral as senior officer"
A press message from Shang
hal, dated yesterday at 4 p. m,
embodies some later information.
1t says:
"Oficial japanese kilograms
confirms the reports of a defeat
of the allied forces at Tien Tsin.
The foreigners there are now
placed in a most desperate sit
uation. The Russian admiral, q,
Hillebrandt, yesterday sent a
mixed force of 1000 from Taku
to attempt the relief of Tien Tsin.
Nearly half Of the force consisted
Of Japanese. The remainder was
made up of contingents represent
ing the other nations.
"The guns of the Chinese
around Tien Tsin are superior to
anything the defending European
force has or is likely to have for
some time.
"The bombardment of Tien
Tsin continued Friday. Bomb
shelters were hastily erected by
the foreign troops largely con-
structed of wetted piece goods.
The food supplies are insufficient
and the continued Smelling is re-
ported to be telling terribly.
Among those killed Of the relief
force Friday was the commander
of III. NJ. S. Barneur The foreign
casualties were 800.
Japan is making every effort.
