A RACE OF GREYHOUNDS
An Effort to Break the Deutschland's
 Record.

New York, Aug. 7.-Unusual interest is centered in the departure of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse for Europe this morning. Though the officers of the big liner would not admit the fact, it IS understood that the ship is to make it's present trip at the topmost speed in an endeaVor to beat the Hamburg -Amerl- can liner Deutschland. Which is sched- uled to sail tomorrow morning. The aim of each ship is to get the American mails into London first.
 The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse will have twenty-four hours start of it's IT. val, but the Deutschland is the speed fer craft and moreover it will make it's first stop at Plymouth, matter of only five hours from London, while the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse will call at CherbOurg before reaching Southamp- ton. A coincidence of the race of the big German liners is the fact that the American liner New York and the White Star liner Oceanic will leave to- morrow morning within a few hours of the Deutschland. and it is rumored that these two vessels may decide to enter the race and test their speed with the big German boats.

Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 7.-Every- thing is in readiness for the arrival of w. j. Bryan and Adali F. Stevenson. who are now on their way to this city to attend tomorrow's notification exer- clses. Decorators in many parts of the city began putting up flags and bunting today and within a few hours the downtown district had blossomed out in mass of color. Washington and Illinois streets do not monopolize the decorations.
 In every part of town. where neither MT. Bryan nor any of the distinguished democrats accompanying him. will he likely to go, shops and houses have been decked out in his honor The ho- tels are rapidly filling up with visitors MT. Bryan and his party will be accom- modated at the Grand Hotel. where they will have Mayor Thomas Taggart owner of the hotel and himself one of the most prominent democratic leaders Tn the country, as host.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed Auditorium for the Indian
 School.

It was announced In these columns some time ago that an auditorium was to be erected at an early day at the Phoenix Indian school to take the place of the chapel in the school building. It was learned yesterday that the plans have teen drawn for the structure and that construction will begin at an early day. The new building will probably cost in the neighborhood of s7.50O and will most likely be erected near the north end of the campus north of the lagoon.
 It is also understood that a number of new cottages will be erected this fall for the accommodation of em- ployes of the school. Three new rooU~ are now being added to the pump house, one of which is designed to ac- commodate a new ice plant. The pres ent ice plant, which is too small for the needs of the school, is situated in the same building with the dining hall ana will be moved to the pump house also- When completed tine combined capacity of the two machines will be about 2,5Oo pounds.
 Altogether, the Indian school which but d few years ago was comparar lively small institution. has grown to be quite a town by itself. It is Valu- able to Phoenix in business way. be- side being quite an attraction 10 Vlslt- ors and is a credit to those in charge of its administration as well as a mon ument to the wisdom of the govern ment in it's efforts to civilize the natl'e Amer:can

Is Proving to Be a Han-

WORD FROM CHAFFEE
Fierce Battle in Which the Chinese Fell Back Saving Their Guns After Inficting Severe Punish ment on the Allies - Minister Conger Was Safe as Late as Yesterday.

Washington. Aug. 7.- Information which came today that the American troops were engaged in battle at Pei Tsang established positively, for the first time that, notwithstanding the difficulties General Chaffee had enccun- tered in embarking troops and supplies, at least part, and a considerable part or our troops was in the vanguard of The forward movement. General Chaf- Tee 8 dispatch to the war department conveyed most satisfactory evidences that the commanders had thoroughly advanced upon a plan of action, and that there is every indication that this plan mas been followed as General Chaffee on Friday sent cable saying mat the attack upon the Chinese at Pei isanS would be made on Sunday the day when Admiral Rem5y and the press correspondents say fighting occurred.
 General Chaffee's announce ment that the present objective of the interna- tional column is Yang Tsun is inter- preted to mean that this point where the river, railroad and wagon road meet, is to be made the advanced base for operations on Pekin.
 The most positive addition to the news of the day was line from the Associated Press correspondent at Tfen Tsin stating that the Ninth and Fourteenth infantry, Reillys battery and the marines were in the battle of Pei Tsang. It was this force, with the British and Japanese, which bore the brunt of the attack on the left flank, which was to turn the enemy's posi- tion. This plan had already been made clear by General Chaffoe's dispatch although he did not mention what American troops would be engaged. No light has yet been thrown upon the sub tect of whether the commanders of the International forces have agreed upon a commander.

THE RURAL DELIVERY
Is to Be Greatly Extended in
 the Coming Year
Two Thousand Additional Offices Will Be Established d. Every Applica- tion for the Service Has Been Granted.

Washington Aug. During the con- ing fiscal year the rural free delivery system will be extended to a greater extent than during any similar period ! in the history of the department.
 In fact. during that period the ser vice will be more than trebed. July 1 of the present year there became avail ! able for the rural free delivery service $1, 750. 900. At the present time there are in the service 1,263 rural free delivery carriers and 500 offices. The pay of these letter carriers is $500 year, so that the sum of $631. 800 is necessary for salaries and S2O0,O00 for special agents and such expenses as supplies and in cidentals. This leaves available about $940, 900 to be expended during the year.
 The credit for the development of the free rural delivery system of the coun- try is due largely to the efforts of MT. A. w. Machen, the superintendent of free delivery. Several years ago MT
 Machen planned the elaborate system of rural free delivery, which, it is eX pected, will be installed during the fis cal year. He submitted it to the vari- ous department heads under whom he has been employed, but without sue ceeding in securing the proper interest from them until MT Smith. the present postmaster general. and MT. Perry S. Heath, recently retired from the office of first assistant postmaster general, came into authority. MT. Heath, under whose direct charge MT. Machen was placed, gave his hearty indorsement of the project, and proposed that Machen draw up plans for the extension of the service and an effort would be made to secure sufficient appropriation. He was much surprised that MT. Machen had already prepared such plans. and heartily cOncurred in them. It was con- tended at first that the proposed Sys- tenn would have tendency to add to the annual postal deficiency. The early experiments proved the falsity of this contention and a practical operation Of the rural free delivery routes in the different parts of the country settled it beyond all question. An order which was issued last week by MT. Smith, the postmaster general, increases the drop letter. postage on these routes from 1 cent to ,. It makes other changes for the good of the service and to increase it's efficiency.
 The increase of the rural free deiv- cry system during the year to come will exceed 5000 additional carriers and 1000 additional offices. MT. Machen says that every application for the establish ment of q free delivery route in the United States which has been received thus far will be granted.

British Policy of Lenien-
 Cya Mistake
TRICKY TRANSVAALERS
The Violation of an Oath to an Ene- my Is Not Regarded as Serious Matter - The Policy of Laying the Country Waste for Fifty Miles Along the Line of British Communications Suggested.

Pretoria, Aug. 5.-An advance east ward by Pole-Carew's division was made on Saturday. The Boers con tented themselves with sniping.
 Henrys mounted infantry shelled the enemy without sustaining any casual ties. Hamilton was also slightly en- gagged, and pushed the enemy back DeWet's escape and subsequent reap pearance on our lines of communica- tion will undoubtedly encourage the Transvaalers, who are also being stiff fened by stories of British losses ill China.
 Rustenburg under Delarey. GrobIer is now on the edge of the bush veldt twenty miles north of Pretoria, and in communication with Botha on the east. No big battle is expected, but skir- mishes are plentiful, the enemy hover ing on our Hanks and rear. Orders have been issued from Boer headquar- ters for continuing this style of war fare with the object of wearying the English into making peace on terms.
 Botha is urging the burghers to keep up the fight. There is no doubt tha { the Transvaal forces have been largely increased during the last two weeks, and may now number 15,O0O.
 Five Boer ambulanceS from the Bourke hospital came into the British lines today, having left BOtha's force on Saturday. The doctors and attend ants complained of a lack of supplies. The exodus of BOer families from Pretoria has surprised and angered the enemy, whose leaders characterize it as the beginning of d general pro scription. The step was a wise one. however. The women, though living on our rations, were most bitterly anti British. one of them distributing Trans Vaal ribbons before the train left the station for the Bocr lines. Very few of them owned property, and many were living rent free in the houses here. Some of the eases were exceptional. One woman who had been drawing rationS for six weeks was proved to be the owner of fourteen oxen, ten mules and e20O in r. ady cash. She was compelled to join her fighting husband outside. and boasted that she had fooled the English.
 All self supporting families remain in Pretoria, also the poor whose main sup ports are not now in the fighting line The fact isproved that the policy of leniency is a mistake. Thousands of Boers will fight on as long as the coun- try supports them and ammunition holds out. From our point of view it would be cheaper to lay waste strips of country for fifty miles beside the lines of communication. Violation of oaths is a Boer failing. and sterner measures will hasten the end of hostilities.

said, and something entirely unexpect- ed might arise from it to dampen re- publican hopes, so far the trouble had tended to strengthen the administra- tion. I believe we ought to proceed slowly in dealing with so serious a matter and I do not expect an extra session of congress. As for the politi- cal situation, I do not think the pros poets for success were ever so good as they are at present Ohio and it's neigh bors, Indiana and Illinois. and West Virginia, I count on as sure for the .e- publicans. although Indiana will prob ably be closer than either Ohio. or Illi- nois.
