MEDIATION.
Several days ago it was announced
that the Chinese Government had asked
France to mediate between the Peiiin au
thorities and the allies with view to
the restoration of peace, the Chinese Gov
ernment having regarded the attack of
the powers upon the Taku forts as an
act of war. NJ. Delcasse, the French
Prime Minister, made such conditions
however, that it was impossible fer China
to give the requisite guarantee and
through Minister Wa similar request
was made of President Mckinley.
The President has consented to act as
mediator upon certain conditions, namely,
the opening of communication with Pc
kin and the rescue of the officials mis-
sionaries and other Americans in danger;
the protection in China of American life
and property; the prevention Of the spread
of disorder in ether provinces and Of the
recurrence of such outbreaks.

DeWet Dodges Roberts.

Gen. De Wet. the Boer chieftain, has
been very successful during the past week
in interfering with Lord Roberts's COM
munications and battling all efforts to
catch him. He lodged In between Pre-
toria and Blosmfontein on Sunday last
a fierce fight first with Col. Broadwood
at Paardekraal, the coming Of night stop
ping the conflict, and then De Vets
forces devided into small parties, one of
which cut the railway and gathered in the
Highlanders at Honingspruit, the Beers
afterwards reuniting at Rhenoster River.
Previous to this there was sharp fighting
got thrashed at Lindley on July 10, and
only saved themselves by dividing into
two parties. At Middleburg, fighting as
consequence Of the Beers attempting
to make a stand against Roberts is report
ed, but does not seem well-authsnticated.
The bulk Of Lord Roberts's army is con-
centrating at Ernstsn Fabriken Station,
burg is 80 miles east Of Pretoria. The
British have never, not lately, at least,
been moving within 10 miles of Middle
burg. Botha's men are within the VI
cinity Of Pretoria.
Twelve thousand troops have been sent
to South Africa since the capture Of Pre-
toria, which indicates that the fighting is
Der of troops to hold the line of communi-
cations. The stern treatment now being
meted out to the Beers by banishing them
to Ceylon, which is sending women into
the Boer ranks, has created no little out
cry in England among those opposed to
the war, though the majority appear to
believe that no measures can be too Sc
we're in order to bring to an end the san
culinary struggle that is nearing its first
anniversary.

Chicago next August. As this is the last
Encampment of the century, and as this
is by far the greatest city that has ever
held q National Encampment, it Is there
fore desirable that everything connected
with the event be Of memorable and
significant character, and that all prspara-
| tions shall be worthy Of the affair. The
Of the affairs of the Grand Army.
Having this situation in view the Com
mittee on Invitations determined that for
this occasion the invitations themselves
should be significant and after much con-
sultation unanimously adopted from the
many competing designs the one which
appears in the invitations to be sent to
| the following extensive list Of notable peo-
pie:
Executive officers U. S. Government.
Members of the Senate and House Of
Representatives.
Executive officers Of the States of the
Union.
National and State judiciary.
Diplomatic Corps.
Officers of the U. S. Army and Navy.
National and State officers of the Grand
Army of the Republic and all auxiliary
and veteran organizations.

fund.
The invitation list will also include a
large number of eminent citizens in pri-
yate life.
1t will be seen that a great gathering
is contemplated. The design for the inyi-
tation cards will remind every surviving
soldier Of the great war of his services.
In the midst of sky where the clouds
are breaking appears every corps badge
used by the forces of the United States
from 1861 to 1866, including the badges
Of the Navy. Signal Corps, Engineer and
are grouped together on the clouds on a
five-pointed star, and their combined ra-
dance is gathered into the Grand Army
badge illuminated in the National colors
and embossed in pure gold 1t shows the
birth and full significance of this great
patriotic organization, which voluntarily
and with full determination has limited its
existence to that of the generation from
which its fighting men were drawn, and
which has refused every overture for an
extension of this existence. And thus the
recipients Of these invitations, which are
a high specimen of the engravers' art,
will have before them in beautiful form
the birth, the achievements and organiza
ton Of their hosts.
BidweIl- Wilkinson Post, No. 8, G. A.

honor for Commander-in-Ch Chief Shaw in
the big parade Of the G. A. F.. Encamp-

companied by Scinta's Band, Of Buffalo.
The Post expects to have $50 comrades in

The Looting Of Tien Tsin.

A correspondent at Tien Tsin cables
description of the actions of the allies
after the capture Of the native city that
were disgraceful for a civilized soldery.
Millions of taels' worth of property
have been taken.
The whole city is filed with an indis-
crirnnate mob Of Chinese and soldiers of
all nationalties, who are breaking open
stores and smashing chests and safes and
rushing hither and thither with their
arms filled with silks, furs, jewelry, silver
bars and money.
The residents of the settlements focked
to the native city yesterday morning after
it had been captured by the troops. They
impressed coolies with rickshaws and
carts and donkeys into service and very
soon the roads between the settlements
and the city were lined with long pro-
cession of lootcrs carrying off their plum

The American and japanese troops
were the only ones who made any at
tempt to restrain the civilian or soldier
iooters. The men Of both these com
mands behaved well, the conduct of the
Japanese being especially cOmmendabie
under the circumstances.
The British sent organized parties from
the warships Bariieur, Endymion and Or
land0 III charge of officers to guard Ger
tain treasure. 1t was known that the
Chinese had two official treasures con
taining over two million tacis. The loca
ton of one Of these treasures was known
The allied authorities intended to seize
the money, but placed a guard in tho
wrong place yesterday. Today, when the
mistake was discovered, the silver had
nearly all been taken away.
The British guard began searching the
houses III the settlements and found about
fifty Thousand tacls. The search is still
going on. and guards were posted around
tho al tlnrn.nfG flis u.nppip, with nc t.ta.
tions to seize all the loot brought in, and
also to contiscate all civilian loot that
may be found i'll the settlements.
Gen. Dorward, the British commander
says the property seized officially in the
native city exceeds in value one million
tacls. 1t will he sent to the British War
Secretary to be held for such disposition
AZ the nations interested may decide on.
The correspondent saw one civilian
stopped in the afternoon. He had $4,000
i'll Mexican silver i'll wheebarrow COW

| party of British sailormen in charge Of
an officer came along with Il water cart
| loaded with silver. The officers of the
Sikh Regiment have been taking stretchcr
parties through the city, gathering every
| thing of any conceivable value.
Fires have been started throughout the
| city and men ARE fighting in the streets
| over loot. Revolvers have been drawn
and threats Of shooting are not uncom-
mon. The Chinamen sometimes offer n
show of resistance against being plum
dered and in these cases are shot The
| looters regard the pawnshops as special
| prizes.
The British officers who are Selling the
civilian loot say it is intended to divide
| it among the soldiers. There is no inter

that some 10000 men, comprising the
first corps, have been disembarking dur
ing the last few days at Taku. This re-
Enforcement should put the allied for"os
at the present time up to perhaps $4,000
electives, aside from the naval cOntln-
gent with the feet. American troops
are being hurried forward from Manila.
Japan is ready to send a second corps.
while the British Indian troops should be
soon available. The first battalions of
the British Indian forces have already
reached China, but have been sent to
Canton, which was believed to be in i'm
mediate danger of attack. 1t is under
stood that the Russians will confine their
operations practically to movement from
the North and will act Independently of
the allies for the main part. There IS,
however, small contingent of Russians
at Tien Tsin, and it has been suggested
that the Russian General, Dragmirof.
will be nominated by his Government as
Commander-in-C Chief of the allied forces.

PROMINENT GUESTS, OF THE ENCAMPMENT.
One Of the acceptances was particular
ly agreeable to the local committee. That
was the one from the Duke de ARGOS,
Spanish Minister TO the United States. 1t
viii be remembered that last Spring when
the local committee lIp charge of arrange
ments for Dewey Day We're sending out
invitations, through u ibunder on the part
of one of the mailing clerks an invitation
was sent to the Spanish Minister. Nat
urally the Duke was indignant when he
received an invitation to attend celebra-
ton of the victory of the downfall of
Spain. He wrote cauStic letter TO
Mayor Harrison. The Mayor, of course,
did not know that an invitation had been
sent the Duke, and was as indignant as
the latter when he discovered what had
been done. An immediate apology and
explanation issued from the Mayor to the
Duke. In view of these facts it is pleas
ing to note that one of the first to accept
the invitation to attend the Encampment
was the Spanish Minister. The Duke has
n high regard for American soldiers, but
he draws the line at participating in a
celebration of their victory over Spanish
troops.
Among others who have accepted invi-
tations are Gov. Tanner, of Illinois; Gov.
Roosevelt, of New York; Gov. Nash, of
Ohio; Gov. Mount, of Indiana; James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture; d. b.
Henderson, Speaker Of the House of Rep
