American Troops Distinguish
Themselves in Battle
MANY FRUSTRATED FROM HEAT
Japanese General Says $4,000 Allied
Troops Will be Ready to Leave
on August Is

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The capture
of Yangtsun, the first objective point
of the international forces, was the
supreme news of Importance received
yesterday on the Chinese situation.
The first word Of this capture, effected
last Monday, came in a brief dispatch
to the signal Office at the war depart
ment from Col. Scriven, the signal
officer at Chefoo, dated Aug. 6, saying:
"Yangtsun captured today. Wire
up. Need own transportation. All
we'll"
Half an hour after this message a
cablegram came from Gen. Chaffee
gi$ing additional details of the cap
ture, and showing that it had been at
the cost of 60 casualties among the
American troops. Gen. Chaffee's dis
patch, dated Yangtsun, Aug. q, is as
follows:
"Yangtsun occupied today. Wound
ed, Frank r. Long, Ninth infantry,
moderate. Casualties about co men,
Ninth United States infantry, Four
teenth United States infantry and Bat
terry F, Fifth United States artillery.
Nearly all from Fourteenth infantry.
Names later Many men prostrated
from heat and fatigue"
Hardly less important was a dis
patch from Gen. Terauchi, second in
command of the Japanese staff. sent
10 the war Office of Japan, and trans
mitted to the legation here, stating
that the International army would
total $4,000 men on Aug. 10, at which
time the real advance on Pekin would
begin.
Gen. Terauchis dispatch stated that
on the 4th, when it was forwarded, the
advance had not yet begun. This was

The fire took place about II o'clock
yesterday morning during a large rally
OF the Foreign mission workers and
the incident created considerable ex-
citement.
Yesterday being missionary day a
number of visitors were in the grove
and the services were in the interests
of the mission cause. the Womens
Foreign Missionary Society having its
rally in the morning and the Women's
Home Missionary Society in the after
noon.
Mrs. r. II. Matlack, secretary of the
Wilmington Conference Foreign Mis-
sionary Society, presided at the morn
ing meeting, and seated on the plat
form with her were Mrs. G. c. Browne.
Mrs. NJ. r. Lincoln and Mrs. ELI Men

were sung, and Miss Alice Gallagher
read paper on 'WOman's Work" in
which she made the point that every
woman should be a member OF the for
eign missionary society.
Mrs. William M. Field contributed
an interesting paper on foreign mis-
sionary work, and she read a sketch
OF the Rev. A. T. Leonard, who Is a
missionary in India. He was educated
at Drew Theological Seminary with
funds advanced by the late James Rid
dc, who was Mrs Fields father. Mrs
Field also read two letters OF recent
date from the Rev. Mr.. Leonard, in
which no described his labOrs among
the natives. He Is now preacher-in-
charge Of two great circuits in India.
He says that the plague, famine and
cholera are working devastation in
that country and missionaries are
needed there.
The Rev. Dr. w. L. S. Murray made
missionary address and referred TO
the periis the consecrated men and
women in China are undergoing at the
present time. DR.. Murray used a chart
TO illustrate his address and he pointed
out where the missionaries are sta
toned in China. He believed the con-
fiict in the Orient is Gods plan OF
evangelization.
Mrs. M. R. Lincoln presided at the
rally Of the Woman's Home Mission

take part in the chase emptying his re-
yolver at the fleeing negro.
Reese Wo0lford, who lives opposite the
Bingham House, saw the negro stumble,
and then throw his hand up to his back.
Mr.. Wo0dford is Of the opinion that one
of the bullets struck the negro.
In the confusion yesterday the mans
description was sent out as 8 feet 6
inches, weight $50 pounds. This is an
error. His companion. who escaped while
the running fight was in progress. was the
small man. The negro who did the shoot
ing. says Weber. who stood beside him in
the car, is at least FIVE feet ten inches,
and is a powerfully built man, weigh
ing about $50 pounds.
SHOT WITH HIS OWN REVOLVER.
The strange part OF this shooting which
cost the officer his life, is that he was
shot with his own revolver. When he
grappled with the negro. Haines had the
pistol in his right hand BY sudden
wrench the negro obtained the gun and
yelling to the officer: Let me go. let me
GO shot him, keeping the fire arm when
he ran away. The negro can be identified
by at least Eve men If he is captured.
Haines was told last night he had but
few hours TO live and before he became
unconscious said he did not want to be
sent to a hospital.
The shooting affray is the talk Of this
community. Haines was a popular man
and if the negro is caught around here.
he will no doubt be strung up. The feel
ing against him is very strong and con-
siderable comment is made over the fact
that he was not captured. Haines was
shot in the stomach, the bah cutting OF
the lower lobe OF the liver. Several re-
ports were started here last night and
this morning that the negro had been
caught, but they could not be verified

Severe Cold Makes Men Drunk.

Loss of energy, physical and men,
tai, is one of the common results Of
exposure to extreme cold. This is fol-
lowed by drowsiness and disinclination
to move; the mental faculties become
torpid and the senses numbed, while
the victim is seized with an irresistible
desire to lie down and sleep. If this
desire is yielded to the lethargy passes
into stupor and death follows. Occa.
sionally these symptoms are preceded
by others which resemble those of in
toxication, and are due to peculiar
condition of the blood, which at very
low temperature takes up an insuffi-
cient quantity of oxygen, and so has
an injurious effect on the nervous sys.
tenn. 1t was observed during the re-
treat of the French from Moscow that
those who were most severely affected
BY the cold often reeled about as if
intoxicated; they also complained OF
eiddiness and indistinctness of vision
and sank gradually into state of
lethargic stupor, from which it was
impossible to arouse them. Other in
stances are recorded in which persons
became delirious and died through a
short exposure to intense cold.

OLD COIN DIES ARE DESTROYED
Mint Officials Have No Further Use for
1899 Moulds.
Philadelphia Times.


One thousand and seventy dies bear.
ing the date 1899, and used last year
to coin hundreds of millions in all de.
nominations Of money, were destroyed
at the Philadelphia mint Jan. 2 in the
presence OF Superintendent Boyer, the
assayer and chief coiner. The dies
destroyed were for coming double
eagles, eagles, half eagles, quarter
eagles, silver dollars, half dollars,
quarters, dimes. nickels and pennies
They were first thrown into the fur
mace, twenty-five at a time, and on
reaching white heat were drawn out,
one at time and hammered into
mass of misshapen metal. Many of
the reverse sides OF the dies were kept
for further use. The only diverse die
used at the Philadelphia mint in 1899
and retained was the one used for
striking off the La Fayette dollar,
which is dated 1900. Every die used
by the United States mints is engraved
and then destroyed in this city, an ac-
count being kept of each die. The
United States make the finest coins in
the world. ranking above England and
Russia in the order named.

GIRLS, KEEP YOUNG.
Though Hard to Realize at the Time. Youth Is
the Best Time Of Life.

Detroit free Press.
"Mother wants to keep me baby
until 1 am 90" pouted girl OF IA,
whose wise mother wanted to have her
retain the loosely-fowing locks and
the youthful simple garments suitable
to her years for couple of seasons
longer. This complaint is very fire.
quently heard coming from the lips Of
maidens who are to be envied owing to
their adorable youth, the very thing
they despise. The rosy flush, the
slight figure, the clear eyes will never
belong to them but once. Once only
can a woman be young. Do not for
get this, girls, so anxious to put behind
you the one period of your existence
when the sun shines as it never will
again, and when the birds sing with
sweeter meaning than will be heard
when the morning has passed and
high noon with the greater heat and
pressure of the burdens of life has
rushed upon you. Isn't every young
thing sweeter and purer than the
world d.hardened, older ones OF the
same specie? Look at the lambs at
play, note the tender green leaves that
shoot out in their innocent verdure
from the old winter-seasoned branches.
Kittens and chicks and young birds
are the most appealing creatures, and
when one comes to babies there never
can be in all this lovely world any
thing so sweet and loveable as a dear
little dimpled baby.
Therefore, girls, stay young. You
may have to bear some inconvenience
of restraint owing to your extreme
youth, but the time will come when
you will long for these incidentals OF
the youthfulness that will have passed
away from you forever.

FINDS CAUSE OF MAGNETISM.
DR.. Henry A. Rowland Makes an Important
Scientific Discovery.

DR.. Henry A. Rowland Makes an Important
Scientific Discovery.
DIR. Henry A. Rowland, professor of
physics at the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, has made discovery of great
Importance to the scientific world. It
is in the nature of an explanation of
the cause of the magnetism of the
earth.
DR.. Rowland commenced his expert
ments nearly year ago. He was at
tracted to the subject, he says, by the
lack of explanation or theory for the
earth's magnetism. The apparatus
used by DR.. Rowland is simple metal
wheel revolved upon shaft by means
of an electric motor. The wheel is
wound with several miles of fine wire,
and in this magnetism is developed
when the wheel is revolved. About
the wheel is a casing or sheath of
brass at a distance of about half an
inch from its circumference, but leav-
ing an air space between which may
be said to represent the layer of at
mosphere about the earth.
With this simple apparatus, DR..
Rowland is now working to show that
the faster the revolution of the wheel
the more magnetism will be developed.
He has shown already that magnetism
is produced in this revolving body,
and, although upon such an in
finitessimal scale in the laboratory ex-
periments, DR.. Rowland says he is
convinced that the principle holds
good for the earth and other heavenly
bodies, as they revolve through space e.
O course the immense weight and
great speed of these bodies add to the
amount of magnetism which they
produce.
1t will take an almost endless
series of delicate experiments to bring
out the various phases of the relation
of the magnetism to the speed of the
moving body. For instance, the
wheel is revolved ut a certain speed
with the outer sheath, and again
without the sheath, to show if any
difference exists. Then these expert
ments must be made at another
speed, and so on. DR.. Rowland, how
ever, is so highly pleased with the
result so far attained that he will con-
tinue the work for some time to
come.

How The Trusts Apply the Sinch.

Gen. Monnett, ex-Attorney General
OF Ohio, the Republican official whom
Standard Oil influences failed to bribe
with q cash offer OF 100000, was
billed to speak on trusts in the
Peoples Institute, New York, on
December %. 1t seems that some
Standard Oil people have an offer of
$4,000 pending as donation to the
institute and they heard of this in
tended lecture and sent word that if
Monnctt was permitted to speak that
the half-million would not be given.
And Monnett was shut out, though
no other thing occupied the house
that night! That is what the trusts
do to even Republicans who will not
bow the knee to their Baal. How do
you like it? The Boston Evening
Record OF Dec. 30 is the authority for
the statements.

Getting Too Rich.

pondent of Republican organ, that
the result OF the investigation" into
the matter of depositing public money
in bank "will be to show conclusively
the remarkable fact that the govern.
ment is getting rich too rapidly"
As a consequence of this remarkable
fact "There will be a constant drain
of the money in circulation into
the treasury unless the revenues are
reduced or the expenditures increased
or the deposits in national banks
added largely to-"
In this three.horned trilemme the
Republican statesmen in Washington
will prefer to seize upon the more
expenditure horn. And we need not
doubt they will do it before the pres
ent session OF Congress ends. There
is Pacific ocean cable to be laid at
cost of $1O,OOO,OOO. There is
transisthmian canal waiting to be dug
at the expense of American taxpayers.
There are other things on which a
Republican Congress will easily be
able to spend much money.
And it will hardly hesitate from
motives of economy when the govern
ment is getting rich too fast. The
Republican followers will readily be-
lleve that it is the plain duty Of Con-
gress to spend any surplus that may
get into the treasury for canals, cables,
ship subsidies and bounties and any
thing else Congress may think of. The
Secretary OF the Treasury cannot
spend money in these ways until
Congress appropriates it. But in the
meantime he can put it in bank and
let it accumulate in readiness to spend
when Congress does the appropriate
ing.
1t will be observed that the treas
ury officials omit one alternative. The
Secretary can use the money to buy
bonds at the market price. The Of
ficials do not mention that for the
reason, perhaps, that money once
paid out for bonds is gone forever and
will never again be available for canals,
bounties and such things. They
doubtless would prefer to have all the
