New York, June 6-General freight
agents of lines west of Chicago who have
heretofore refused to accept business at
cut rates went through the wholesale dis
trict yesterday and solicited business of
every kind at the lowest rates they could
make to suit the shippers, without regard
to the presidents agreement. The offers
OF these agents constitute the first open
violation of the presidents agreement in
this city. When it became known that
some of the western lines had offered to
take business at reduced rates the result
was that all the other lines took the same
step, and the complete Generalization Of
rates on west-bound business originating
in eastern territory is now an assured
fact

SEYMOUR is SAFE.
Allied Forces Under the British Ad-
miral Have Been Relieved.


miral Have Iseen Relieved.
Advices from ChefoO via Shanghai say
that Admiral SeymOur's expedition has
been relieved, having failed TO connect
with Pekin. The Berlin foreign office
also received news from Russian source
confirming the report that Admiral Sey-
mour is safe and that the ambassadors
and legation staffs are with him. The
report says that the relief forces reached
the international troops just in time. Ad-
miral SeymOur's expedition is returning
to TienTsin. HIS force suffered greatly.
The announcement that Admiral Sey-
mOur's relief force has been rescued is
welcome to the western world. This in
ternational force left Tien-Tsin for Pekin
when the foreign legations in. the capital
were threatened with attack. 1t appears
now that Admiral Seymour did not enter
Pekin, but his main object was accom-
plished when the foreign ministers and
residents, with their own guards, had
been conducted out of the capital and
placed under his protection. His return
march to Tien-Tsin has been slow, the
Chinese mubs having harassed him great
ly.
A dispatch from London says the sit
uatiOn in China is clearing slowly, but
surely. The losses and dangers of the
foreigners in Tien-Tsin are now known
to have been grossly exaggerated by the
rumor mOngers. There has been no mas
sacre of foreigners. The casualties have
been few and dangers to property have
been slight. Dispatches received from
Shanghai and ChefOO agree in minimizing
the peril to which the foreign quarter had
been exposed. and European who has
reached the coast from Tien-Tsin reports
that there has been anxiety there, but no
approach to panic.
The relief column which entered Tien-
Tsin Saturday night met with little re-
sistance. The Russian loses are report
ed as four killed and twenty wounded,
and the casualties Of the other detach-
ments were light.
Admiral Seymour's mixed force, which
was retreating toward Tien-Tsin, does
not appear to have been in SO desperate Il
plight as the earliest and most sensation
al dispatches made out. The safety of
the foreign legations is assured. The
foreigners. with their own guards, were
conducted out Of the capital and placed
under the protection Of Seymour's force.
which retired slowly toward Tien-Tsin
with its sick and wounded. The column

Applejack and Victory.

On fishing trip on the spreads Of
the ST. Francis River In Southeast Mis-
souri, last fall William Curry, clerk of
Judge Gates court. met Capt. Mallory,
wholesale merchant Of Memphis,
Tenn. and heard him tell the following
story:
Il was a captain Of Tennessee COM
pany in the Confederate army In Gen.
Jubal Early's command. At the second
battle Of Manassas we had been having
a hard brush with the Federals. and
after 1t was over one Of our boys
brought to camp keg Of mountain dis
titled apple brandy that in our then
exhausted condition was like gift
from the gods. wished to take some
Of the liquor onto the field with me. SO
l filled two bottles and fitted them in
the cases Of my field glasses. which
carried strapped around my shoulder.
Then went into the fight. and II
turned out to be sitter brush than the
first one. In the thickest of the fight
Gen. Early rode up to me. and seeing
the case Of my glasses hanging by my
side, he said hurriedly:

field glasses a moment to look at the
enemy on that ridge over yOnder.'

forgotten that l left the glasses In my
tent. handed the case to Gen. Early
He opened 1t, glanced In and saw the
two bottles Of liquor and frowned. He
slammed the case shut rather angrily,
1 thought. and as he handed 1t back to
me, he said:
"'Pn see you tonight in your tent.
SIR
II expected trouble. and after the
battle that evening carefully hid the
keg Of apple brandy under a blanket
in my tent. where the General would

Radical Measure Adopted by Boston
Board of Health.

The Boston Board of Health took Il
radical step the other day when it pro-
luulgated an order To isolate conSump
tives. Under the terms OF the order all
consumptive patients who cannot be car
ed for properly in their homes, insuring
the protection of their associates, will be
removed by the board to an island hos
pital in the harbor, or to the State aims
house at Tewksbury. Mass. Several pa
tients have been sent already to these in
stitutions. but they will be treated diff
ferently from people having acute dis
eases, like sArlet fever. typhoflid. diph-
theria or smallpox. They will be allowed
to receive visitors. and life will be made
as pleasant for them as the rules of the
institutions will permit.
Should other cities follow the example
of the Hub many complications may
arise and the decree is likely To meet
with great deal Of opposition. 1t is
practically forcing charity upon the pa
tient thus isolated and this method of
caring for cOnsumptives will undoubtedly
meet with but small favor outside of
Boston.
