LONDON. June 22.-The alarming re-
ports of a Chinese assault on the American
consulate and other foreign concessions at
Fientsin. transmitted to the United States
Navy Department yesterday by Rear Ad-
miraI Kempff, who is in charge Of the
American squadron at Taku, are supple
mented today a despatch from Shanghai
which says that it is reported, via Tokyo,
Japan. that there has been a general mas
sacre Of Europeans and Americans in the
besieged city.
The report places the number of for
eigners who were put TO death by the
Boxers and their native allies at 1900.
1t is also alleged that Tientsin is now
mass Of smoking ruins; that, after the for
eigners were slain, the city was fred by
incendiaries. and that a frightfuI scene Of
anarchy prevailed for many hours.
The uncertainty regarding the situation
at Pekin magui1es the alarm that has been
felt since the earliest reports from the
Chinese Capital which asserted that a gen
eraI massacre had taken place there.
It is feared here that Admiral Seymour g
relief party may have been overwhelmed
by the Boxers and the troops annihiIated.
II Seymour succeeded in reaching Pekin,
as has been stated, it is strange that he has
been unable to communicate in some way
during the several days that have elapsed
the condition Of affairs in tn. walled city.
The absolute inability to secure infor-
nation regarding the foreig IS in Pekin
is arOusIug a strong sentiment throughout
Europe, and unless the situation is speedily
changed. it is believed that the most ag-
gressive action viii be taken by the most
formidable force that can be mustered by
the allied powers.
News from all Chinese sources is becom-
ing scarcer as the days pass. 1t is feared
that when the facts become known con-
cerning the acts Of the Boxers in various
parts Of the Empire the whole world will
be horrifed.
A despatch to the Central News. dated
Shanghai. Friday. Il a m. says the Ameri-
can Consul received a telegram from Che
foo at 1880 last night, stating that the
guuboat Nashville had arrived from Taku
with thirty missionaries from Pei
Tahc
The Russian cruiser Rurik sailed yes
terday from Yokohama for Taku. Japan
is making preparations to take care Of the
wounded sailors and soldiers Of all na-
tions.
In the bombardment Of the Taku forts
the tunnels and upper works Of the Ger
man cruiser uus and the Russian war
ships Giljak and Korejetz were much dam
aged by the Chinese fire.
A Merchant steamer belonging to a Chi
nese company was completely riddled and
her captain, an Englishman, was killed.
The British sloop Of war AIgerine es-
capped destruction through the sudden col
Iarse Of a searchIight on one Of the forts.
Captain Haas. the commander Of the
German cruiser utis, died afterward from
the wounds he had received.

MAMMOTH buildings occupied by the great
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of a century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
nearby towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise di-
rect to the consumer at. wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. AS the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus
trated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale
By superior process of color photography
they illustrate many Of their goods in natural
colors, bringing out the rich color value Of
curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest
designs in wall papers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant TO
select goods at his own ireside, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is becoming
more and more popular each year. for it not
