THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

A story that Chinese forces are IN
vading Siberia tends to overshadow
every other phase OF the Chinese
situation. Reports sent out Tuesday
are reaffirmed with additional details
As stated 10 yesterdays Gszette, dis
patch from st. Petersburg says that
Prince Tusn, the Boxer leader, has a
huge army OF $4,000 men. Portions Of
these troops are threatening MaDchuria
and some have even attacked Russian
territory. II these reports are well
founded European nations expect that
Russia will make an independent at
tack on Pekin. The forces of the Car
may occupy the Chinese capital before
the allies reach it. In that case it is
said Russia might want an undue
share of the spots in China. A dis.
patch from St. Petersburg says: The
report that the town of Blsgovest.
chensk, the capital OF the Amoor dis
trict, had been captured by the Chi
nese, which emsnated from officials OF
the ministry OF communications, is now
emphatically denied by the general
staff.
United States Consul Fowler has sent
message from Chefoo telling that the
Legations in Pekin were safe July 8.
Ii Ia from a Chinese source. A dis
patch from Brussels says they were
safe July 9, and another brings their
history up to July IL. 1t is thought
the dispatches are different versions Of
the same thing. A messenger who left
Pekin July / Gays that the legations
were then being bombarded. The chi
pese minister at Washington now sd.
vances the theory that the ministers
their families and the other foreigners
may be in hiding from tine Boxers in
Pekin.
Reports received by the Russian gen.
eral staff from the Amur district show
that the Chinese are concentrated on
the railway line between Algun and
Saghallen. Work has been stopped on
the Manchurian Railway, owing to
Chinese attacks.
The Japanese, 10 the final assault
upon Tientsin, blew up the gates OF the
city and were the first troops to enter
Their losses 10 the engagement were
also the heaviest. Admiral Won Bende.
mann, commander of the German
squadron, iD his account of the fighting
at Tientsin on July IA save: "When
the citadel was captured 81 guns fell
into the hands of the allies"
Great Britain is taking steps to pro-
tect Shanghai and Canton. The India
contingent of troops, instead OF pro-
ceeding to Tieptsin, has been ordered
to Shsns hal.
A British feet has arrived of Shane
Hal Wan, and it is reported that 8
large force will proceed from that point
along the great Wall TO Pekin.
From the American minister 10 Kores
comes the report that the Chinese have
appeared in force within q few miles o.
the Korean frontier.

EVEN Mr.. Gage, Secretary OF the
Treasury, acknowledges that the fioau-
cial policy OF this country cannot be
changed for many years; but still, other
republican orators and writer's say sill
yer is the chief issue of the campaign;
and there are some democrats who say
that but for the sixteen to one declare
tion 10 the Kansas City platform, Mr..
Bryao would be elected without any
trouble. Sixteen to one has no more
nor would sixty to one, to do with the
result of the present campaign than
with the man in the moon, and the
man who says it has, has no regard fol
his own reputation for intelligence.

The NEWS from China Is 80 uurelia'
BILE that reading it is waste of time,
and reasoning about it, worse than use
less. The ability of the Chinese, how
ever, to conceal what they have done
and are doing In their own country
and the patent knowledge OF what they
have recently done in Russia and
Korea, prove that they would not be a
weak enemy, even if they didn't have q
nation of five hundred million people to
support them.

before Congress for legislation to
make it a statutory chence to desc
crate the Stars and Stripes. This
legislation is entirely unnecessary
when a totteripg and decayirg king,

act; for Uncle Sam will without urg
