ARE OUT OF PEKIN.
Latest Report Says Foreigners Had
Started to Tien Tsin.
London However, Believes IL IL Only n
fiot to Cover Up the Massacre
United States Refuses Chit
mas Reuuaat

London July 2s. - Reports from
shanghai reiterate the allegation that
the surviving members of the diplo-
matte corps have already left Pekin on
their way to Tien Tsin and add that
the foreigners are being escorted by
troops of Jung-Lu, commander-in-
chief of the Chinese forces. This move
is stated to be the outcome of very
stormy interviews between Ii Hung
Chang and the foreign consuls and to
have been taken in the hope of abat.
ing the wrath Of the powers and de-
laying the advance of the allies to-
ward Pekin.
The alleged departure of the minis
ters from Pekin has led to reas-
sertion of the belief that the story
Is part of deep-laid plan by China
to conceal the date of the massacre
at Pekin, the suggestion being that
Chinese officials will claim that the
ministers left Pekin under a strong
escort, but were ambushed and massa-
cred by boxers en- route to Tien Tsin.
However, although it is still believed
massacre has occurred of the foreign
colony at Pekin, the disposition now
is to think the ministers were some
how rescued from tragic fate.
Emperor WiIlIam's Words to HIu Troops.
Berlin, July 2S.-The Lokal Anzei-
ger says the emperor, addressing the
troops at Bremerhaven before they
sailed for China yesterday, said the
expedition was to avenge an outrage
committed against the sanctity of
ambassadors and an unprecedented
breach of the right of hospitality.
"If you close with the enemy" said
the emperor, remember this: Spare
nobody. Make no prisoners. Use
your weapons so that for thousand
years hence no Chinaman will dare
look askance at any German. Open
the way for civilization only for ALL"
Prince Tuan Killed.
London, July 2s.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express,
wiring yesterday, said: "It is report
ed here that large section of the
boxers has revolted against Prince
Tuan, alleging that he is making tools
of them for his own ends. A desper-
ate conflict took ploce outside of
Pekin Sunday. Prince Tuan person
ally led his followers, two of his gen
erals having deserted him. The bat
tie lasted several hours and Prince
Tuan was defeated and killed."
China's Offer Declined.
Washington, July 2s.-Secretary
Hay signaized his return to Wash
ington from Canton by the announce
ment that under no circumstances
will the United States government
accept the Chinese offer to turn over
the foreign ministers to the inter-
nationals at Tien Tsin in consideration
of suspension of the campaign
against Pekin.

TAKING THE CENSUS.

Woman who Didn't withhold
Any of the Details.

facts for you. Ny husband, John Moore, ia

are all well now"
But" put in the census man, relates
the Pittsburgh Chronicle.
"Yes, yes; you needn't ask me any ques-
tions. I'm telling you fast as can. Tommy,
our Oldest boy, had the measles when he was
three. He first began to walk when he was
eight months old and the day after he was
ten months old he could walk clear around
the room without holding on to anything.
He fell down the stairs when he was four
years three months and thirteen days old,
but it didn't hurt him any, and he liked ice
cream from the first time he ever tasted II.

Madrid, July 2s.-The cabinet is
considering the proposition of the
United States government for the ces-
sion of the islands of Cibitu and Gag
ayan in consideration of an indem-
nifty of 100000. The ministry regards
the proposition favorably, and nego-
tiations for treaty of accord between
the two governments are proceeding
rapidly. These islands were left in
Spanish possession by the treaty OF
Paris, although part of the Philip

AsheviIIe. N. @.

Few regions have been more richly en-
dowed by Nature than that famous section
of Western North Carolina POLITICALLY
termed the Land of the Sky" 1t has eli
mate so dry and health-giving that it has be-
come known the world over as natural san
itarium for the cure of all troubles of pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the center of this. beautiful
mountain -hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is busy, thriving
place of $4,000 inhabitants, with all the
modernisms of city life. The city lies just
at the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanoa Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs many
people of wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau of Mr.. George W.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate, has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter
from the cold winds, and its summer climate
is made delightful because of its altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville and
vicinity, call on any Southern Railway
Agent, or write Mr.. G. A. Benscoter, A. G.

CONCLUDED he WOULDN'T.


Atchison, Kan, July 2s.-The north
bound Missouri Pacific passenger train
which left Kansas City at 9:55 Thurs
day night was boarded by lone rob-
ber as it left the station here at mid
night. The robber was masked. He
climbed into the express car, covered
the messenger with revolver and de-
manded the contents of the express
safe. The messenger, John Kreiser, of
Kansas City, convinced the robber that
the safe was locked and could not be
opened until the train reached Omaha.
The robber then made the messenger
pull the air brake connection and got
off the train west of town.

not be done. The more honest section
OF the republican press is urging that
the financial question was put into the
background by the action of the recent
republican congress, and that the ad-
ministration forces are making an alb
surd spectacle Of themselves by trying
to put up man of straw.
AFRAID OF the Record.
As Chairman Richardson, of the dem
ocratic congressional committee, re-
marked the other day: "The republic
ans appear to be afraid to make the
campaign on the record of this admin
istration." They feel that the less the
people know about the facts the bet
ter will be the republican chances for
success.
The democrats are putting up most
vigorous congressional campaign from
the Washington headquarters. There
is every prospect that the next house
will have democratic ma jority. There
were many things in the record of the
recent republican congress that
aroused the resentment of good citi-
zens. The attempt to put congress
above the constitution in the Porto
Rican matter was perhaps the gravest
affront. In many close districts the
republicans have practically given up
the fight and concede the places to the
democrats.

HANNA LEARNS MANY THINGS

There are several bits of evidence to
show that Mr.. Hanna is learning some
thing in the way of politics, says the
Nashville American. -Four years ago
it was a sort of damn the people cam
paign. This time the Senator is not
hurting anybody's feelings. He has
broadened. His currying down OF
Roosevelt for his st. Paul speech, his
calling the Hon. John Barrett to the
right about for his random talk about
Thomas B. Reed, and his answer to
Lille Clay JewetF, who wanted his
Endorsement for her anti-lynching
league, that est was not party mat
ter, show the big boss is learning.
He has dropped his arrogance and has

ant smile for one and all. A hard man

FAT FRYING SCHEME

A dispatch to the Philadelphia
Times, from Boston, states that Mark
Hanna and Cornelius N. Bliss, chair
man and treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, have gone to that
city for the purpose of arousing more
enthusiasm in the matter of financial
contribution to the campaign fund,
which it is said has been at rather
low ebb for some time, sowing to the
usual summer shutdown of the mills
throughout New England and to gen
eral apathy" About forty business
men, bankers and political workers in
New England met Hanna and Bliss at
the Exchange Club and held confer
ence behind closed doors. The dis
patch says:
I'm speaking of the situation Senator
Hanna said that it was thought best
to appoint subcommittee in certain
sections in New England to draft funds
from those who would support the
Republican party in this campaign,
and do everything possible to dispel
the apathetic condition of things as they
The rather startling statement has
been made that it took sixteen millions
of dollars to defeat Bryan in 1896. If
this statement is correct, and there is
much reason to believe it is, much
larger sum will have to be raised to
beat him in 1900. The only hope of
McKinley's managers is in the contri-
button they can squeeze out of Repub-
lican manufacturers, and as the exac-
tions of the managers grow larger and
larger year after year 1T is quite safe
to say the collections will become more
difficult. This will be experienced to
greater extent in the campaign this
year than that of 1896.
It is quite plain that the people are
not inclined to enthuse over the Re-
publican ticket and platform.

HE FOLLOWED GOOD METHODS.

The business methods followed by
the late @. P. Huntingdon were very
simple, and were as simply described
by himself, Some of his maxims are
worth preservation.
"When you can't go on horseback go
on foot"
'EI never work hard, I work easy"
"All honest work is honorable
work"
"Work at anything to get enough
money with which to buy meal. If
you earn three cents only spend one
of them, then see to it that you are
never without money afterward."
''Stand in a porch at night; sleep in
a package box, but never become a
pauper."
"Run after work: it won't run after
you"
"The vast majority of young men
spend too many years of their youth in
the classroom. 1t does no good to cram
the mind full of knowledge that will
not help a young man in the work he is
fitted to do"
"The boy who has the push to sue
coed in life will succeed without the
higher education.
"There is growing up wall of caste,
with honest labor on the one side and
frivolous gentility on the other"
