scribing the search for Boxers in the
imperial city is dated no later than
Aug 81.
There is no confirmation from any
source of the report of an advance
northward from Pekin. on the con-
trary, a movement southwark to clear
the country and to insure free COM
munication with Taku, is apparent
ly in proress. The powers, as late as
August 81, were still unable TO agree
as to how to deal with Pekin itself,
the Japanese and Russians being at
variance as to whether the imperial
palaces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news of
the alleged detention of Ii Hung
Chang by the admirals. Probabilities
increase that all the members of the
imperial household have gotten safely
to the interior.

ALL ABOUT A TREE.
Three Members of Lyons Family
Held in Bail.

Thomas Lyons. James Lyons and
Mrs. Mary Kelly, brothers and sister,
living together on Fifth street, were
arraigned before Alderman Millar last
night, charged with surety of the peace
by Edward Healey, a neighbor. The
latter claimed that the trio threatened
his life. Alderman Millar held the de-
PENDANTS in $500 bail to appear at court.
The cause of the alleged threats on
Healey's life was a peculiar one. There
is large tree in the Lyons front yard,
the branches of which extend over into
Healeys premises.
Healey yesterday attempted to lop
off the branches on his side of the
fence, at which the Lyons family
forced him to cease from such actions,
and after doing the "Woodman, spare
that tree" act, he claims they made
threats on his life.

As to European Market.

Says the Commercial Advertiser:
NC definite news has been received
by the Pennsylvania road of the
threatened strike of the coal miners
in Pennsylvania, but 1t is hoped that
It will be averted especially in view
of the probable demand for American
coal in Europe.
1t is evident that the coal men ex-
pect a big coal movement to Europe.
The coal carrying roads are making
preparations for hauling it to the sea-
board, and in the absence of labor
troubles the export movement 4is ex-
pected to be of great volume.
