lows.
Il am very glad 20 learn that the strike
Is settled The fact that the men have
secured an advance Is not only crafty
ing. but 10 shows that there was juss
cause Tor their complaint. But the fact
that they we're idle a month. and that
the consumers Of coal have had TO nay a
higher price for enc coal which was the
result OF che strike shows how important
it IL To have arbitration for the settlement
Of differences between labor ana capital
A just system OF arbitration would
have secured 70 the miners the
advantage which they have gained

ALLIED ARMIES ARE
 MARCHING ON PEKIN
Assumed That Americans, British and Japanese Are
 Taking Part in Forward Movement

up to July 21, not to government protec- ton, but to the scarcity of Chinese ammu- milton and to the fear which the Tien Tsin victories inspired. When 1t Is remem- bered what great reliance is placed upon Dr. Morrison in England, the importance of his exposure of the Chinese government can scarcely be estimated. It seems to banish all hopes entertained by Lord Sal isbury that the Chinese government might yet be proved not directly responsible for the outrage, and it may result in an entire cessa tion of the negotiations with Chinese diplomatists, if not in an open declaration of war on the part of the powers.
 General Sir Alfred Gazelee is quoted as saying on July 2S that he was ready to ad vance, although lacking in artillery. Colo nel Daggett, commanding the Americans at Tien Tsin, Is also credited with a simi- lar statement on the same date, although utterly without transportation, not even having horse for himself.
 Chinese Reinforced
 Refnforcements are reported to have been sent to the Chinese at Yang Tsun, where strong entrenchments have been thrown up to bar the advance of the allies.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says that Emperor William S approval of the employment of non-com- missioned men on leave is evidently in- tended to pave the way for a German ex- petition on large scale and that it is probable that when sufficiently large this force will act independently.
 Commenting upon Dr. Morrisons dis patch, the Times says:
 Tt is now beyond doubt that the fre- quent assertions of the different Chinese representa- tives that for month past the legations have been enjoying the protection of the throne are, one and all, unqualified falsehoods. The cumulative evidence is overwhelming that the whole affair has been throughout under the control and di- rection of the Chinese government.
 Tt now rests with the powers to make the Chinese government understand that it will be held fully responsible for what ever happens in Pekin."

JURY ACQUITTED
 OLD MAN JESTER
Under Weight of 80 Years He
 Stood His Trial.
CASE FILLED WITH PATHOS
When the Verdict Was Announced the Spectators Gave Vent to Their Feelings With Shout-De-
 fendant Congratulated

Kansas City, August IA Times special from New London, Mo-, says:
 Alexander Jester the octogenarian, who has been on trial here for the past two weeks for the murder twenty-nine years ago of Gilbert Gales, was tonight acquit- ted. The jury took three ballots.
 When the jury's verdict, we, the jury, find the defendant, Alex Jester. not guilty" was read. the old prisoner. bent with age and worn with watching. sat as If dazed for a moment, while the audience, at first too amazed to realize that the trial had so quickly come to an end, watched the action of the judge in breath less silence. Jester, finally realizing the import of the words arose, and with his face fairly beaming with joy, moved to- ward the jurymen to thank them. mo- ment later the spectators gave vent to their feelings in a shout that made the court room ring. Then with a common im- pulse a rush was made for the man who had made so brave fight for his life in his declining years, and almost smothered him with congratulations
 After nearly four weeks of tedious testi- mony the trial of Alexander Jester had passed into history with the buffalo calf and Hulen lane, and the old man, after a second attempt to send him to the gal lows had been set free.
 It has been a trial filled with pathos. presenting as it did the spectacle of wo- man testifying against her brother in an attempt to fasten upon him murder com mitted nearly thirty years ago.
 There were three ballots taken in the jury room. The first stood nine for &C., quittal and three for murder in the first degree The next stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction The third and last was unanimous for acquittal and was given with a shout by the tired jurymen. AS soon as Jester could tear himself away from those who crowded about to congratulate him he hurred to his hotel and was soon the center of happy group made up of his children Harvey Jester, Will and Alice Hill, who quietly rejoiced. Jester will leave here at once for Oklahoma, his old home. where he was arrested two years ago.
 Tonight when the verdict was made known it caused general rejoicing through- out the town.

lNESE GOVERNMENT ACTIVE
It is Doing All in its Power to Secure = the Abandonment of the Inter-
 national Movement
 on Pekin

London, August 1.-The allies began the advance from Tien Tsin, announces an agency bulletin dated at Shanghai at 11:1O a. m today. It is assumed that the Ameri- can, British and Japanese are taking part in this forward movement, whether other nationalities are or not. An advance base will probably be established twenty or thirty miles nearer Pekin and supplies will be assembled preparatory to direct stroke at the capital.
 Of the 60,OOO allies debarked at Pc Chi u ports English military observers consider that 30OO0 are available for an advance be- yond Tien Tsin. The Chinese forces, ac- cording to the vague gatherings of the al- lies intelligence officers, up to July 27, were disposed in a great arc thirty miles long and distant ten or fifteen miles. The num- bers' and exact location of the several di- visions are utterly unknown. The Pei Ho river is blockaded by sunken stone-laden 5unks for twenty miles beyond Tien Tsin and further up, according to Chinese spies of the allies, and dam has been construct ed for the purpose of flooding the low-lyng expanse of country.
 The first engagement of the relief expe- dition will probably be at Pei Tang, where the Viceroy of Yulu personally commands.
 The foregoing information was brought to Tien Tsin Wednesday, July 25, by a Chinese missionary student who was sent to the British legation at Pekin. He was unable to deliver the message entrusted to him and left Pekin July IS. He saw few troops between Pekin and Yang Tsun. No works had been constructed. Food in Pekn was scarce and the city would be quite un- able to endure siege.
 Among the scraps of information brought by another courier who left Pekin July IA was the fact that General Ma, notable Boxer chief, had been killed by the lega- tioners.
 Shanghai teegrams of this date say the foreign consuls met yesterday and decided to invite Admiral Seymour (British) to take command of the Shanghai defenses. The United States consul general, Mir Goodnow and the French consul general M DeBeza- nre, on behalf of the consuls visited Ad- mirai Seymour and he promised to draw up plans and submit them to a council of off, cers.

MRS. BOTHA A GUEST
Dined With Lord Roberts-A Kick on
 Kruger

Pretoria, July 31.-Mrs. Botha was the guest of Lord Roberts at dinner yesterday evening.
 The Boer animosity to President Kruger grows on account of the fact that he has his officials persuading the people that South African Republic paper money is as good as the Bank of England notes be- cause it is based on alienable State securi- ties, even though the State should be con- quered. As the English have not recog nized this contention, many burghers have been ruined and much misery prevails. The wives and children of the poor Boers are almost starving.
 General Botha's force Is kept together by extraordinary inventions. This correspond ent has seen an official circular asserting that Lord Roberts was forced to retreat south of the Vaal and that Lady Roberts escaped in a balloon
