Seattle, Aug. 3.-The Times says:
The first serious trouble between the
military and prospectors in the north
This year resulted in the arrest OF over
100 of the miners who went to Top
kuk, about so miles south OF Nome
City. The clash occurred July II. 1t
was the result OF a prolonged claim
contest and cases OF alleged claim
jumping. About a week previous over
100 miners were forced to quit work
along the beach at Topkuk by soldiers
who were landed from the United
States transport Seward. Soldiers
were regularly detailed day and night
to guard the cliff from being torn
away by the miners, who were only too
eager to get at the rich pay streak,
which was already uncovered for a
width OF several hundred feet.
Under the conditions Of suspension
or work the miners were allowed to
work their dumps, which work was
about completed. That having been
done, the miners held a consultation
and determined to defy Uncle Sam and
return to work. The soldiers were all
mustered out on the beach, and with
bayonets fixed attempted to force the
men to leave, but not a man stirred.
A parley ensued, with the result that
80 or 40 miners submitted to arrest
and were put under guard. Others
quickly took the places OF the arrested
ones, and were in their turn arrested,
until the soldiers have now more than
they can attend to.
A perplexing problem now is how 70
feed and house the arrested miners.
II they are not fed the soldiers are in
danger OF being overpowered until re-
lieved by revenue cutters or trans
ports. Ten were taken to Nome on
July 20 and released on bonds.

number OF Spaniards and a few
Austrians in the assemblage. which
consisted for the most part of Italians.
Pedro Esteve, the Spanish leader and
editor of Paterson anarchist publi-
cation, was the principal speaker of
the evening. He discussed the sit
uation in Italy from his own stand
point, claiming that the government
was bad to the core. He said the poor
people OF the nation were oppressed
and oyerburdened with taxes, and be-
cause Of the latter the poor people
could not stay in the country. He
said ltaly's only hope was in the an
archists. They had no secrets. he
said, and took no part in plots. He
said they did not select by lot or other
wise any person to kill Bresci. he
said, had not been sent to kill the

that he would have to give his life for
It, but he would give his life gladly.
Bresci, he said. had killed the king
and he was glad, although he knew he
would have to suffer for his act.
RESOLUTIONS were adopted as follows:
We here assembled intend to state |
that Bresci's deed was the result of

make the Italian colony OF Paterson

London, Aug. 3.-No word com es
TINS morning regarding the for
tunes OF the comparatively small body
OF troops believed to be forcing their
way toward Pekin. The silence is prob
ably due to diligent censorship rather
than any lack of developments.
A Shanghai special announces the

that vegetables, fruits and other sup

however, cablegrams from Chefoo an
nounce that the imperial troops, ad-
yancing to oppose the relief force, have
completely wiped out a Christian town
near Pekin, killing five foreign priests
and 10000 native Christians.
Gen. Gaselee-so says this corre-
spondent-was strongly opposed to an
immediate advance, but he was over
ruled by the other commanders and
influenced by Washingtons order to
Gen. Chaffee to proceed without an
instant's delay"

men were dragged out of the mission

"A heartrending letter has been re-

dated July %, stating that the CASUAL

70 cartridges per man are left. with
rations sufficient for five days, and that

within a week."
Mr.. Broderick's statement in the
house of commons yesterday placing
Great Britain on record as unalterably

the decision of the British and Ameri-

unsolved question of the chief COM
mand and will inspire the combined !
forces with fresh life and vigor.

the kings foOtmen, four or five per-
sons, wearing around their necks
black handkerchiefs, such as Bresci

riage at the time of the crime. After
1t was committed they began shouting.
evidently to increase the confusion
and to help Bresci to escape.
IL COrriere Della Italia SAYS the DO
lice have discovered that a huge plot
was formed in America to murder
King Humbert, and that his assassina-
tion was to be followed by similar
crimes throughout Europe.
Another discovery is that Bresci.
last Sunday, entered the royal chapel
Of the villa during mass, evidently
with the intention of assassinating
Humbert il he were there.
Bresci, who is in prison at Milan,
wears straitiacket Of iron, which
grips him tight, rendering movement
painful. He is also tightly handcuff-
ed. He is practically tortured without
exceeding the limits Of law, but re-
mains Indifferent, and replies to all
questions that he is an anarchist and
has no accomplices. The officials sub
ject him 20 examination at all hours.
When Bresci, in spite OF his iron
Jacket, is getting a little sleep he is
suddenly awakened by a dazzling light
flashed in his face and is piled with
questions in the hope that he may be
taken unawares.
Inc officials are unsuccessful, for the
assassin is a man Of iron nerves. The
police are trying to unravel the an
archists' plot. They are confident that
there was a conspiracy TO kill several
sovereigns, including the kaiser.
A man suspected of being an accom-
plice Of Brescl was arrested yester-
day at a railway station here. He had
recently arrived from the United
States and will be sent to Monza for
inspection.
Notwithstanding the most thorough
search the Will of King Humbert has
not yet been found Count Brambilla

search, which Is retarding the arrange

HAY HOLDS The CHINESE
EMPIRE RESPONSIBLE

Washington. Aug. 3. - Secretary
Hays reply to Ii Hung Chang has
closed the negotiations with China un-
less the old vlceroy is able to secure
the full acceptance of our terms rela-
tive to foreign ministers, and that at
once. The secretary's message Of July
30 was as follows:
This government will not enter in
to any arrangement regarding dispo-
sition or treatment of legations with
out first having free communication
with Minister Conger. Responsibility
for the protection rests upon Chinese
government Power TO deliver at Tien
Tsin presupposes power to protect and
to open communication. This is in
sisted on"
This message was delivered by Mr..
Goodnow on the 31st to Viceroy Ii.
who then inquired whether, IF free
communication were established be-
tween ministers and their governments
1t could be arranged that the powers
should not advance pending negotia-
tions."
To this inquiry Secretary Hay re-
piled:
81 do not think It expedient to sub
NIT the proposition OF Earl Ii to the
other powers. Free communication
with our representatives in Pekin is
demanded as matter OF absolute
right, and not as q favor. Since the
Chinese government admits that It
possesses the power to give communi-
cation, 1t puts itself in an unfriendly
attitude by denying it,"
No orders therefore looking to a re-
taxation Of the preparations for the
advance on Pekin have gone out from
Washington, for, as the situation is
described by one OF the leading Of
ncials here there will be no bargain
ing on our part in advance OF the con
cession by the Chinese authorities Of
full and free communication with the
foreign ministers. There is, moreover.
note omniously close 10 actual war in
Secretary Hays declaration that the
conduct Of the Chinese government is
"unfriendly." That kind Of language
is extreme in diplomacy, and 1t is only
a narrow step between it and formal
war.
The impression prevails here that
the Chinese government, II It IS not
absolutely bereft Of power to act in
defiance of the Boxers, will accept our
terms, and some such action is looked
for very soon. Possibly a battle. not
more. it is believed, than one at most
