LlSCUM'S FUNERAL.
Commander of the Ninth Buried
 With Military Honors


 With Military Honors.
 London, July 25.-Much of this morn. ing's news from China consists of be- lated stories of the operations at Tien- tsin. One of them tells of the burial of Colonel Liscum of the Ninth regiment, who was inferred with military honors on the evening of July II. General Dor ward, the British commander, attended with his wounded arm in a sling.
 When the British bluejackets went to assist the Americans, who were in a tight place, they were almost cut off by a cross fire of surprising accuracy. They were unable to move until dark, when Colonel Liscum's body was brought back to the camp. One correspondent says that the Americans at first underestimate ed the fighting capacity of the Chinese.
 All the correspondents agree in stating that the. Japanese showed remarkable energy and daring, and it is generally hoped that they will have the satisfac- tion of being the first to reach Picking.
 The officers of the British warship Terrible who were at Ladysmith are re- ported as saying that the Chinese shell fire was more severe than that of the Boers

RETURNED ON THE MoANA
G. II. Atherton's Four Months Trip
to the Eastern States.

Charles II. Atherton returned Wed
nesday on the Moana from a trip to the
Mainland which has lasted four
months. He left here the day after
Christmas on the last trip the Austria
liza made without being quarantined or
having her passengers baggage fumi-
gated. In San Francisco Mr.. Atherton
met his wife, who came on from her
home in Oberlin, Ohio; and they re-
manned in San Francisco several weeks.
The remainder of the trip was devoted
to travel and sightseeing and visiting.
They stopped over in Denver and Chi
cago on their way to Oberlin. which
was their first objective point. From
Oberlin they went to Buffalo. and saw
Niagara Falls; and then journeyed on
to Boston, where they spent four days.
New York claimed them next, for a
week. During this time the ground in
City Hall Park was broken for the new
underground rapid transit system
which is to work wonders in helping
Greater New York to move from place
to place within it's enormous area. Mr..
Atherton did not attend the cere-
monies. for reasons which do credit TO
his taste; but he was present in Brook
lyn Tabernacle when DR.. Newton
Dwight Hills made his now famous
address scoring the Presbyterians.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atherton went on from
New York to Philadelphia and then to
Baltimore, where Mr.. Atherton has a
near relative at the Johns Hopkins
Medical school. In Washington they
spent but a day. seeing the Library of
Congress and visiting the Senate and
