This is the first decrease in popula-
ton so far shown in the enumeration

Merriam was asked about il he refused
To say anything, but in other official

rolls ten years ago were padded. 1t is
claimed that old hotel registers and
other devices were utilized in swelling
the population of the city at that time.

261.35 in 1890, an increase of 100. AS, or

TUAN'S PALACE

Washington. Aug 23.-The Japanese le-
cation today received the following ad-
vices from the foreign Office at Toxic,
dated Aug. %:
THE commander of the japanese feet
at Taku transmitted by telegraph on the
2lst the following report from Pekin:
- The Japanese regiment, which had
been detailed early on the 18th for the
purpose Of protecting the imperial palace,
had hard fighting all day, but they could
not bring il to decisive issue, as they
refrained from firing on the palace.
On the following day, however, they
took its principal gate. and now the city
Is almost entirely cleared of the enemy.
" The imperial family and the minis
ters of state left for Sian five or six days
ago, escorted by 1900 troops under Tung
Fun Shiang.
With the object of restoring order
the city has been divided into districts,
Japan being assigned the northern half
and the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and France have each deputied an
officer to carry on the administration.
Prince Tuan's residence has been
burned down by the Japanese.
The japanese naval detachment
which guarded the Japanese legation, lost
during the siege five killed and eight
wounded.
The Japanese forces which now occu-
py the imperial palace, Rave rescued for
eign ard native Christians from their con-
finement. "

erals not to violate the imperial pre-

General Chaffee, so it is asserted,
maintained that the Chinese had been
adequately punished already and that

palace.
This explains the withdrawal of the
Americans after preaching three gates,
as rabIed by the special correspondent
of the Associated Press. The Russian
general, however. maintained that his
government had declared war against
China and that therefore there was
no reason to prevent him carrying hos
tilities into the sacred precincts.
Judging from various, and in many
cases contradictory dispatches that
have reached Europe this morning
from Pekin, the commanders evidently
adopted a middle course, for a Reuter-
telegram asserts that sentries were
placed to prevent lOOting. Hence it is
presumed that the imperial buildings,
although captured, will not be de-
stroyed.

BATTLE OF SAN JUAN.
Pain Show Greeted by a Large
Crowd Last Night.

Pains great reproduction of the Battle
of San Juan received another enthusiastic
reception last night, the interest being
accumulated by the fact that it was
volunteer night. The battle itself was a
success and the pyrOtecnical display was
probably the best that has been seen in
Salt Lake.
Among the set pieces were pictures of
Captain Grant and William j. Bryan As
each picture was touched off, it was
loudly cheered, the hkenesses being al
most perfect
