HEAT A DRAWBACK TO TRADE
West Particularly Affected-Crop Ad-
vices Favorable.

New York, Aug. 25.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The sky is not cloudless, but there has
been no backward movement of business
this week. The chief drawback of the
week has been the intense heat in some
sections of the west. which was more eff
cient in retarding business than the lower
temperature east was in stimulating it,
Crop advices continue as cheerful as at any
time lately. and the labor situation shows
no important changes in working forces
Failures for the week were III in the Unit
ed States, against 163 last year. and 20 in
Canada, against is last year.
Bradstreets says:
Contrary trade currents still give an ap-
pearance of irregularity to the entire situa-
ton. but good and unfavOrable influences

ditions and the particular season of the

A REPORT FROM SHANGHAI.
Chinese Troops Said to Have Over.

London, Aug. 25.-Street fighting
breaks out internationally in Pekin, ac-
cording to dispatches from Shanghai. the
allies not having sufficient forces to DO
lice the vast city. AS small parties of
the allied troops penetrate into new dis
tricts they have to engage half-armed
members.
A Shanghai dispatch reports that Chi
nese troops pursued the Dowager EN-
press and the court and overlook them
eighty miles southeast of Pekin The
Emperor, it is added. threw himself on
the protection of his captors. The prs-
oners have not yet reached Pekin.
In the engagement at Tien Tsin 1000
Americans British and Japanese routed
1000 Chinese and killed 300 of them
The vicerOy of SEE Chuen is reported
at Shanghai to be sending troops to the
Tonquin frontier and to be intending to
fight the French at Meng TIE.
The bulk of the German fleet recently
at Shanghai has gone to Taku as an es-
cort to the new German minister, DIR.
Mumm Won Schwarzenstein, who is
bound for Pekin. Clan fights are of
daily occurrence in the Heung Shang dis
trict.
The foreign residents of Shanghai are
alarmed at the arrival of the extraordi-
nary number of warships and are fear
full of European complications, but they
have been assured by some Of the naval
commanders that the gathering was ac-
cidental.

KAISER MEANS BUSINESS.
Germany Preparing to Make San
Francisco a Base of Supplies.

London, Aug 25.-The report tele-
graphed from Washington that Germany
is preparing to make San Francisco a
base of supplies with q view to sending
tracted considerable attention. Inquiries
on the subject in shipping circles show
that German orders for stores and pro-
visions are sufficiently extensive to lend
probability to this rumor. 1t certainly
would not surprise the diplomatic author
tiles here if the German force should
eventually reach a total Of 10000 or
$4,000 men.
Some Importance may possibly be at
tached to the meeting with the Prince
of Wales had with the German EN-
peror yesterday. On more than one pre-
vious occasion the prince has been EN-
ployed as kind of dignifed and supe-
riOr foreign messenger able to say to the
German Emperor what could not con-
veniently be conveyed through ordinary
diplomatic channels. In the present
crisis Lord Salisbury may have induced
Wales to point out to his imperial rela-
tive that unnecessarily aggressive or VIC
lent action in China would be extremely
distasteful to Great Britain. The Ger
man Emperor has views about the al
legged yellow danger" which have never
been shared by the English premier.
Hong Kong Situation Disquieting.
The continued absence of direct tele-
graph news from Pekin during the last
few days, together with reports of fur
Their fighting near Tien Tsin, is causing
some anxiety. 1t is not however, thought
that the allied contingents can have any
real difficulty in clearing their line of
communications, even if the Chinese
should have gathered in force in their
rear. What is in reality more disturb
ing is the state of affairs in the central
and southern provinces. Hong Kong
kilograms received here yesterday were
disquieting. There is no doubt that Sc
rious rioting has occurred in Foo Kien
and Kiang Sc provinces, where the mis-
sions have been attacked and plundered.
The disorder at Swallow has also been
grave, and a French gunboat landed a
body of bluejackets and marines to pro-
tect missions, while the Japanese have
been patrolling at Annoy 1t would al
most seem as if an allied force would
be required in every one Of the treaty
ports.
In the course of a case in Liverpool
it was stated that millions of eggs are
annually imported from Russia to Bel
fast and then sent over to England and
Scotland and sold as Irish eggs"

New York, Aug 25.-Lord Roberts has
left Pretoria and has fixed his headQuar-

ton west of Machadodorp, where the bulk
of the Beers in arms are supposed to be.
Wiring from there August "a he says:
Butler reports the Beers laid a trap for
his cavalry August %, opening with sew
eral guns at fairly snort range. The
English guns silenced the Beers, but
when the firing ceased and the pickets
were being placed for the night by some
mistake two companies of the Liverpool
regiment advanced 1900 yards into hol-
low out of sight of the main body, where
they were surrounded by the Beers and
suffered severely"
The Liverpocls lost ten men killed
and Capt. Pioneer and forty men wound

The dispatch of the British command

Death Sentence Executed.
London, Aug. 25.-Lieut Cordua, the
Boer officer convicted by cOurt-martial
as one of the ringleaders in the conspira-
cy to abduct Lord Roberts and to kill
leading British officers, was executed at
Pretoria late yesterday afternoon. Lord
Roberts, to whom the verdict and SEN
tence of the court had bo on referred.
approved it and the execution followed
within few hours.
COrdua was one of dozen men i'm
plicated in the conspiracy The plan
was to enter the quarters of the leading
British officers in Pretoria at a signal
and TO kill all but Lord Roberts. who
was to be carried by relays of horses to
the nearest Boer camp.
At his trial Cordua asserted that he
was drunk when he joined the conspira-
cy. and that he had been prompted by a
British secret-service agent.
Met Death Brave1y.
Cordua walked fearlessly to the garden
behind the Jail. AT his own request he
was not bound and sat in a chair with
folded arms. He told Capt Barchard,
commanding the firing party, that he
was ready, and ten bullets struck him.

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1900-08-29

Washington, d. c., Aug. 25.-The war
department has not yet received from
Gen. Chaffee the report requested OF him
few days ago upon conditions in Pekin.
In fact, several recent cablegrams of in
quiry addressed to Gen. Chaffee have not
been answered. In this situation it was
found necessary to call upon Gen. Chat
fee again for full report for the guild
ance of the officials of this government.
1t is supposed that the uncertainty Of
communication between Pekin and Tien
Tsin is responsible for Gen. Chaffee' S
silence. The wires have been cut be-
tween the capital and Tien Tsin, and it
is probable that. the messages were
sent by courier to Pekln. 1t
is regarded as very unfortunate
that there should be such difficulty of
communication at this time. The de-
partment is depending in a large measure
upon Gen. Chaffee for information to
guide the administration in the move
ments Of the immediate future. More
than week ago two dispatches were re-
ceived from Gen. Chaffee, but they are
in such shape that they cannot be de-
cirslered at the department. They are re-
gGrded as very important from the fact
that they relate to conditions in Pekin,
the number of persons under the protec-
ton of the allied forces, and the supplies
for the army, as we'll as fer
these people. The war department also
has taken up the matter of cable COM
munication and has asked the cable COM
panies to see if the Chaffee messages can
be Strengthened out and also to ascertain
if the messages sent to Gen. Chaffee can
reach him, and if they cannot be deliv-
cred, why.
The note to the ambassadors and min
listers representing countries having in
terests in China, decided upon at the
cabinet conference yesterday, has been
prepared and forwarded to our ministers
for their guidance in communicating
with foreign governments relative to fu-
ture action by the powers in China.

pranks with the gasoline launch Lillian

for few minutes after the bolt tore a
hole in the roof of its cabin, and then
the machinery resumed it's work appa-
rently uninjured, the launch continuing
on its way. Hugh Patton, who was at
the wheel, was rendered unconscious He
apparently was lifeless when taken to

recovery, although his mind seems a
blank. Thomas White, wealthy manu-

FAITHlN UNITED STATES.
China Distrusts All Other Powers.
Particularly Tapau.

London, Aug 25.-A distrust of all the
powers involved in the Chinese imbrog-
Ito, except alone the United States. is
manifest among Chinese circles here. The
Chinese minister to London, Sir Chih
Chen Lo Feng Luh, emphatically denies
that Ii Hung Chang is without the prop
er credentials to entitle him to act as
peace envoy.
Earl LIZ said he. possesses an i'm
perial edict authorizing him to treat with
the allies. signed by both the Emperor
and the Empress Dowager."
Another distinguished mandarin talked
more freely. IF we did not have great
confidence in the prestige and honesty Of
purpose of the United States" said he,
I'VE should expect speedy attempt to
disrupt our empire, for among other ma
tons there is not one that we can trust.
Japan pretends to be innocent of any de-
sire 10 wrest China from the Chinese,
but she would go gayly enough into the
land grabbing contest if somebody would
only give the signal. The allies cannot
catch the Emperor and the Empress
DOwager, nor can peace return to China
while her rulers are in fight. Let the
powers meet Earl Ii and agree to terms
of settlement. In this way the uneasiness
outside Pekin would be removed.
