BUT FIGHTING FOR LIFE

Che Foo, June 26.-It is reported now
that Admiral Seymour is not captured.
His force is about ten miles from
Tien Tsin. It is surrounded by Chinese
troops and Boxers and hampered by
the presence of sick and wounded.
1t is reported that all foreigners were
sent from Pelzin with a weak Chinese
guard, and il is assumed that they are
with Admiral Seymour.
One thousand Japanese are landing
at Taku and 1900 more are expected to-
morrow, when a battalion of French is
also due.
The foreign admiTaIS have appointed
Commander Wise, commander of the
Monacacy to be cOmmandant at Tong
Ku.
The Netherlands cruiser Holland has
left Java for che Foo.
APPROXIMATIONS Enter First.
The Americans and British entered
Tien Tsin first, silencing the guns of
the arsenal and breaking through the
Chinese lines.

Russians lost four killed and thirty

Hsiang, who crushed the MOhammedan
rebellion. Recently he was nOminally

TOM SHARKEY
IS KNOCKED OUT
Gus Rubin Puts 1t All Over
the Sailor.
A
WINS HIS VICTORY
IN THE FIFTEENTH
Triumph of Supposed Second
rater a Huge Surprise.

Seaside Athletic Club. Coney Island.
June 26.-For the first time in his pu-
gilistic career. Tom Sharkey went
down to decisive defeat tonight in the
historic arena of the Seaside Athletic
club and big Gus Rubin, the Ohio pu-
gilist, was his victor.
It was a clean knock out after fifteen
rounds of fighting that made mem
orable ring battle.
Same in the matter of aggressive
ness, Rubin led from the start in
every feature of the game and at all
times had the fight well in hand. Shar-
key did not give up his place in the
line of first-class heavyweights with
out desperate struggle. No soldier
ever chung more determinedly to his
vitality. Even at the end, when blinded
by the blows of his powerful opponent
and lulled mentally by the battering Of
his foe, he chung inStinctively to the
massive frame of the man who was his
master
The decisive battle and unexpected
result were truly surprise for the
sporting public. No line of form that
could be figured gave the OhiOan more
than a one to two chance. Sharkey had
met and at least stood off all of the
leading heavyweights now in the ring.
He was known to be giant in
strength, courageous to a point beyond
| discretion and aggressive. Rubin
on the other hand, had never made a
particularly good showing against any
man of reputation and was regarded
as a second-rater. Hence there was
/ apathy as to the fight and while there
was some spirited betting, Rubin never
! showed better than ] 0to Z, and it was
even money that he would not last ten
/ rounds. The management, in fact. de-
/ cided to put the general admission
down to S1.00. There was big crowd

British first-class cruiser Terrible and
two Japanese cruisers at Che Foo to-
day relieved the strained situation. Two
Chinese forts, equipped with Krupp
guns, command the foreign city. The
only protection was the United States
gunbOat Yorktown with 80 sailors. AS
reported last night the sailors slept on
their arms and the foreigners are pre-
pared to take refuge on the ships.
Commander E D Tassig ~ the York
town requested the commander of the

SOME FIGURES ON THEIcEMEH
He Handles Immense Amount of
 Congealed Water Daily

From the Philadelphia Record: How'd you like to be the iceman? 7?
 Snyder, the calculating barber, was ar tiseally executing a quickstep on the razor-strop when the above little ditty floated in from the busy thorough fare, causing a smile of contempt to fit across his features. "That simply makes me weary he remarked, as with a flourish he daubed the patrons face. You hear that latest acquisl- l ton in the way of slang phrases re- peated by men of every station, just as if the iceman's lot was an earthly paradise. As a matter of fact, the in dividual who embarks on career which involves the marketing of con- gealed moisture doesn't have to run around searching for his troubles. How many people do you suppose ever think of the amount of money that drips right out of the iceman's hands when the sun beams down on his heavily loaded wagon Don't amount to much, eh? We'll, you.n change your opin- ion when ] bring up few figures for ! your consideration. Starting out with ton of ice. I estimate that melting alone causes q dead loss of about 100 pounds to the dealer. That doesn't seem much, but when you calculate l that about 100 wagons day right here in town lose that amount the fig ures are amazing. One hua2z1d thou sand pounds at, say 10 cents per hun dred. runs Up the tidy little sum Of 1 $f00 Three hundred and sixty-fye i times s100 gives us the annual loss locally of $36. .500. Takes a little nerve, doesn't tt. to be an =ieeman2 Then if during the summer these driPBings could be collected l figure that they'd supply all the hospitals in town with lee water baths for sunstreke patients. Frozen into 3 solid lump, the entire 1 years drippings would make cube as big as a ten=story office building. Then, again. the waste when the cakes are cut is enormous, to say nothing Of what vanishes into the air when the ice is whisked clean with brush broom. But, without going into fur ther details, think you'll agree that the man who peddles ice has enough trouble to worry him into an early grave. Tonic?''

Residents vie with One Another ia
 Making Them Pzesentab1e.
 Bicyolists who have ridden much on the asphalt streets of German cities say that the tendency to side slip is there much less marked than on sim- liar paxements in this country. The explanation of this fact may possibly lie in the statement W1fich is made by Che American consul at Breslau that the asphalt streets in that city are regularly washed, the purpose Of the washing being to remove the slime which the asphalt seems to leave and to keep the street from being slippery. The washing has the further effect of preserving and hardening the asphalt The care taken of the asphalt by the city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted in the United States. For instance, the space in front of the consulate is di- Yided into four squares, which are in charge Of one man. After cleaning the streets early in the morning he wheels out barrow load of very fine, sharp sand and scatters 1t lightly over the streets to prevent slipping. On yainy days the process is repeated seY- eral times. Once a week the whole street is sluieed and thoroughly washed with sprinkling carts. These are followed by ample roller brushes. which sweep the water and slime into the gutter, whence it is earted away. After this the man who has charge of the street comes along with his wheel barrow and sand sprinkler. In spring or autumn. when the streets are often sloppy and wet. the washing is done several times during the week.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Muoh Sickness Prevented by Its Sub
 stitutIon for Gas.

There are no stronger advocates for electric lighting in houses than medical men, who say that an immense amount of sickness has been saved since the electric light took the place of gas 1n modern houses. There can be no doubt that in the matter of maintaining the purity of air during incandeseence, electricity stands without rival. Air is composed of four parts of nitrogen combined with one part of oxygen. The nitrogen, in q sense, nod1fies the too active powers of oxygen, which, Ii undiluted, would make every one ln- ha1ing it so excessively energetic that the human framework would speedily be racked to pieces. When eombus- ton takes place oxygen is absorbed, and carbon diexide ia poisonous gas1 is given off. The act of breathing pro- duces a similar effect, and thus resem- bles the burning of lamp or candle. Air containing as little as 3 Der cent of carbon dioxfde is difficult to breathe inS and when it Is considered that 3 medium gas burner produces as much of this gas as eight or nine men (about six feet per beuD it naturally follows that air in a room so lighted soon be- comes dangerous. Besides carbon di- oxide, there are other impurities in gas. such as sulphHrous acid. ammonia, s6Iphuretted hydrogen. etc, which vary fn quantity according to the purity of the gas. Each has it's own deIeterious effect on the air and surroundings. ana most of them cause flame to be less luminous. With an electric incandes- cent lamp there is na combustion. The flament merely becomes ncandeseent by reason of its resistance to the pas sage of the current. which is compelled to exert q certain amount of energy in tfa4ellag through it. Fhis energy is given back by the flament in the form of light, but the whole being hermetic- ally sealed in yzev fhere is no ex- ha1atfon from cess of inean= descenee. and Ie air remains unvitiated by t
