10000 Men Marching to Pekin.

The American and British forces
began the advance on Pekin last
Thursday, according to dispatch
dated from Tien Tsin to the London
Daily Express.
1.-The main body of the allies, ="
continues the correspondent,
marched July 80. General Chaffee
was delayed by difficulties of disem-
barkation. General Dorward (the
British commander) had no such OBJ
stacles, and his delay is inexplicable.
The other foreign troops are now
half way to Lola. The force includes
10000 japanese under General Yam
machuchi, and 10, 600 Russians.
The British force totals 5000 and
other foreign troops are 1000, We
are weak in artillery.
"On August l strong force of
Chinese from the native city at
tackled Tien Tsin. By series Of
brilliant charges our troops drove the
enemy from their positions. The ma
tive city is still defiant, and the allies
are unwilling to march troops
through is streets, as this would
mean slaughter. When the Chinese
saw SO large body Of troops march
ing westward they apparently be-
lieved they would have an easy VIC
tory over those who were left.

TWENTY-FIVE WERE HURT
Desperate Battle Between Anarchists
and Police in Chicago.
MRS. LUCY PARsOH LED THE Disturbance
Bricks Were Thrown, Clubs Were
Welded and Fierce Struggle
Ensued Before the Crowd
Was Finally Dispersed.

An anarchist riot occurred Sunday
afternoon in Chicago in which TWEEN
ty-fve people were bruised in strug-
gle with forty-five policemen, sum-
moned to quell the disturbance. Fi.e
persons were arrested, among them
being Mrs. Lucy Parsons, widow of
Albert R. Parsons, who was executed
November II, 1886, in Chicago for
aiding and abetting the bomb-throw-
ing in the Haymarket. The others
arrested were Paul Vandre, Herman
Goodman, Abraham Edelstadt and
Clement Pfentznor.
A mass meeting was called to be
held at west side Turner Hall, at
which speeches were to be made by
Mrs. Parsons and others on the topic
of THE Execution of the King OF
Italy"
The call concluded: "Workmen,
come in crowds and show that the
feeling of brotherhood is strong
among you.
Mrs. Parsons was on her way to
the hall, but finding it had been
closed by the police she stepped into
a doorway across the street. Soon
a crowd formed and police officer,
pushing through the throng caught
a glimpse OF Mrs. Parsons. Thinking
she was making an anarchistic
speech, he endeavored to dispense the
crowd. His efforts were in vain and
the officer sent in call for reinforce
ments.
Additional officers arrived and i'm.
mediately general fight was precip-
itated. Fists and clubs were used
and the officers, finding they were be-
ing worsted, sent in riot CALL
The humble of police was increased
to forty five, and they rushed into
the throng. Mrs. Parson was seized.
It is claimed she resisted arrest and
her friends fought for her. Bricks
were thrown, clubs were welded and
fierce struggle ensued before the
crowd was finally dispensed. In all
twenty-five persons were badly beat
ell and bruised. After the ARRAY nu-
merous small cards were found on the
street containing two verses Of poe
try urging the workmen to be free;
to throw off the yoke of bondage and
fight for liberty and to lay down their
lives If necessary to overthrow the
governml&l and attain freedom.

The foreign movement for the re-

the advance guards of the Russians,

of the Pei-Ho without opposition. 1t
was the expectation that the whole

about 20, 900 men, would be on the

Escape Through the Strong Gordon
Seems Impossible.
A special dispatch from Pretoria

General Christian Dewet is COM
pletely surrounded near Reitzburg,
and it is impossible for his forces to
escape through the strong British
Gordon.
The Beers say they will make a
stand at Macadodorp. They are short
of ammunition and food. General
Hamilton by the rapidity of his
movements prevents reinforcements
reaching Commander General Botha.
