BOXERS PLAYING HAVOC.
killing and LOOting i'm the Country
Southeast of Tien-Tsin.

copyright. 1900, by the Associated Press.l
TAkU. Aug. Is. via Shanghai, Aug. 3d.
An Intercepted letter written by the viceroy
at Pao-Ting-Fu. who commanded at Tien-
Tsn during the fighting there, complains
that the Boxers are overrunnng the coun-
try southwest of Tien-Tsin, particularly
the cities on the Grand canal, despite
the officials, who at first countenanced
them, and footing and killing the enemies
of their organization and fighting the i'm
perial troops. The gates of Pao-Ting-Fu
are kept closed and the people inside are
suffering. the Boxers practically besieging
the place.
The viceroy reports that the taotai of
the city of Tsang-Chow, on the canal in
vited two thousand Boxers to a feast, and
that while the Boxers were eating and
their weapons were stacked the imperial
soldiers, by his orders, fell upon them and
slaughtered all of them.
There is much recrimination between the
foreigners beseged in Picking and the men,
bers of the relieving force. officers say
that the besieged sent out alarmist re-
ports and that the condition of the foreign
ers was never one of such extremities as
the official dispatches represented. The
foreigners, they assert could have re-
sisted indefinitely. The besieged accuse the
general of timidity and of exaggerating
the Chinese opposition. They think much
smaller army might have made the march
and relieved them months sooner.
The footing at Picking proceeds indus
triously and openly. The officers of every
nation except the Americans ignore re-
pressive orders, and all the allies ridicule
the Americans for their abstention.
Missionary Green, of the China inland
mission, his sister, wife and their two chill
dren, who were for some time held as
prisoners by the Boxers at Hsing- Han
Sien, near Pao-Ting-Fu, were we'll treated.
A company of Chinese Catholics have held
a town near Pao-Ting-Fu for three months
against the Boxers and imperial troops.
The officials have ordered large sums for
their capture.

ISOM WRAPS DEAL.
Indiana Democrat Contracts to Sell
10000 Bushels Corn at % Cents.


Shelbyville Qnd) Republican.
Mr.. Frank Drake has purchased of Isom
Wray his corn crop now maturing There
Drake agrees TO take all the corn Mr. Wray
raises this year over and above that
amount. The contract has been made in
writing in legal form, and is now on de-
cents a bushel for the corn delivered i'm
Shelbyville at corn-gathering time. This
is. perhaps, the largest single corn deal
ever made in this city by single grower
And there is a political lesson in the deal.
In the first place, Mr. Wray belongs to
that class of Democrats who say there is
no prosperity I'm the country; that every
thing the farmer has to buy is higher and
that labor is no better laid now than when
Cleveland went out of Office Let us take
glance at his corn deal If labor is not
any better paid now than then it cost him
no more TO produce this corn than il did
his crop In 1896. His 1000 bushels of corn
just sold will bring him. in November
1880. In November OF 1896 corn at the eIe-
yators In Shelbyville was worth l6 cents.
Wray's 10000 bushels of corn in November
1896, therefore, would have brought him
LOCO, or $500 less than he will receive for
the same number Of bushels this year This
$500 Is clear profit TO Mr.. Wray over his
crop of 1896, because he says labor is no
better paid now than then. If his land is
worth more now than ii was four years
ago he has certainly prospered by that in
crease
But what of Mr. Drake? He expects to
make some money out of the deal Decem-
Der corn is now worth, in Baltimore 80
cents. Allowing cents bushel for ham
ding, Mr. Drake has in sight 5000 as his
profit. fr 1888
The chances are Mr. Drake will double
that profit. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Wray sold his wheat crop after Mckinley
was elected because. according TO his the
DRY, the price OF wheat would be governed
by the price of silver. Wheat went 10 more
than 81 a bushel. and the price of silver
went down Mr.. Wray received so cents.

CAPTURE of General Olivier.

LONDON, Sept. Ia Queenstown dis
patch, dated yesterday. describes the ORA
matte capture of General Olivier during the
Boer attack on Winburg. Eight Queens
town volunteers SORTED from the town and
took UP a position in donga, through
which the road passed, and behind the
Boer position. AS the Beers retired through
the donga in single file, they were struck
up, one by one and put, under charge OF a
couple of men, out of sight until the CO.
lonials had captured twenty-eight, includ-
ing General Olivier and his three sons: AS
two hundred Beers were following behind
in fairly close order, the colonials then
began hard volley firing, with the result
that they killed six Beers and frightened
off the others, who had no idea OF the
actual number In the donga.
