WACHUSETTS WON RACE
Thereby Securing Free Trip to Paris
 Exposition

New York, July 19.-The twenty eighth annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen was commenced un- der the Harlem Regatta Association. The course was on the Harlem river between Fordham Heights Landing and Washing ton Bridge, a distance of one and a half miles, straightaway. The weather was not to the liking of the competitors ,and a strong breeze blew against the oarsmen, which made fast time out of the question.
 On today's programme there were seven events, but one a heat in the four oar shell race, was put off until tomorrow. Of the six races rowed three-the internation- al fours, heat of the intermediate singles and the pair pared shell race-were rowed with the incoming tide The intermediate doubles, first heat the senior eight cared shells and the Paris fours were raced against the outging tide.
 About 10, GOO persons lined the river banks near the finish line. In the first event. the international four pared shell race, the starters were the Wachusetts Boat Club of Worcester, Mass. ,and the Detroit Boat Club of Detroit. Both crews steered badly but of the two the Wachusetts were the worst, and if they should commit the same mistake in the Paris regatta they will land clean up on the bank of the river Seine The Wachusetts won.
 Joseph Nial, a slim youngster from the Laureate Boat Club of Troy secured a decisive win in the first heat of the inter-. mediate singles.
 The pair pared shells was veritable gift for Extry and Bush, of the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia.
 The last race was the Paris fours the competitors again being the Wachusetts and Detrots. The Wachusetts won by about a length, and the victory entities them to a trip to the Paris Expedition at the expense of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen The four oar Ten Eyeck, Con E.

EUROPEAN WOMEN
Hacked to Pieces By Boxers In the
 Streets of Pekin.

London, July 2O.-The Shanghai corre- spondent of the Daily Express says:
 "Jntense indignation is felt here at the honors which the British in Hong Kong have accorded to Li Hung Chang, who is looked upon in Shanghai as the originator of the whole fiendsh anti-foreign plot.
 "A Chinese merchant who has just arrived from Pekin gives horrible details of the massacre. He says he saw European wo- men hauled into the street by shrieking .Boxers, who stripped them and hacked them to pieces Their dissected limbs were tossed to the crowd and carrid off with howls of triumph. Some were already dead having been shot by foreign civilians. He says he saw Chinese soldiers carry ing ithe bodies of white children aloft on their spears, while their companions shot at the bodies. He gives other details too Horrible to be particularized here
 Tt seems that the Boxers leaders had offered plan including the offering of rewards and rich loot, for the annihilation of Europeans throughout China, and that Prince Tuan's generals have been empha- sizing the opportunity the soldiers have of seizing the bodies of white women"

THE PRINCE OF WALES
Forced an Apology from William Wal
 dorf Astor

London, July 19.-Today MT. Astor pub 1ished the following in his newspaper, the Pail Mall Gazette:
 We desire to express the regret that a paragraph which was published in these columns July ?, which referred to the pres- ence of Sir Berkly Milne at Mr Astors S concert the preceding Thursday evening should have been published under a mis- apprehension of the exact circumstances Explanations of competent categorical kind now show that Sir Berkly Milne's presence was due to a misunderstanding that entirely absolves him from any inten- tional discourtesy."
 Mr. Astor's apology was without doubt forced by the action of the Prince of Wales who, when the matter was placed before him, unhesitatingly expressed his indignation and declared that unless an ample apology was forthcoming Mr. Astor could not be permitted to retain his mem- bership in the Marlborough Club. The Prince of Wales views were conveyed to the club committee, and MT. Astor was notified that an apology alone could save him from being expelled.

Japanese Charge Russians With
 Barbarity Toward Chinese.
ALL FOREIGNERS AT PEKiN DEAD
Definite Advices to the Russian Govern ment is to the Effect That the Pekin Massacre Occurred
 on July, the 9th.

London, July 20, 4 A. M.-"The Washing ton idea of sending MT. Rockhil to Chi na,' says the Standard editorially this morning, 'is an excellent one, and might advantageously be initiated by the British and other governments"
 The Standard then proceeds to comment upon the great ignorance prevalent in Eu rope, not only of recent events but of Chinese affairs generally.
 Massscred on July 6
 The council convened by Lord Salisbury yesterday came day earlier than usual, and it is expected it will be followed by statement in parliament throwing light upon the situation. The Chinese assertions that the members of the foreign legations are still safe have been so often repeated that they are again beginning to raise hopes in some quarters. According to the Daily Telegraph's St. Petersburg corre- spondent, however, the Russian govern ment is already in possession of definite news that all foreigners in Pekin were massacred on July 9th.
 M Delcasse's circular only goes to prove that so far the powers have failed to ar rive at any concerted plan of action.
 The Yokohama correspondent of the Daily Mail, who repeats his statements regarding the jealousy felt among the all lies on the subject of a Japanese sess- mander-in-chief and the general lack of unity among them, adds:
 Japanese Make Grave Charge
 The Japanese correspondents charge the Russian soldiers with appalling barbarity toward the Chinese. They declare that the Pei Ho is full of the corpses Of wwS1en and children and that the Russians loaded 300 bodies on jung and burned them.
 Shanghai reports that three missiea sta- tions on the Pic Hai were destroyed, but it is stated that its missionaries escaped. The missionaries at Sho Ho and Kanun Kang Gnu, in Chinese Manchuria, have ar- rived in safety at Vladivostock.
 Yu Lu Suicide
 It is rumored that Yu Lu, the missing viceroy of the province of Chi Ii, has com mitted suicide Various conflicting stories are published of the manner of General Nieh's death. It is stated that when the allies entered the native city of Tien Tsin they found the Chinese dead piled breast high, and 1t was feared this would result in an outbreak of pestilence.
 Sixteen of the captured guns are quite modern weapons.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Times expresses belief that the southern viceroys will be able to stand the pressure of the provincial officials to join the anti-foreign movement. He thinks that already there are signs of wavering on the part of the yiceroy of Nan Kin, Li Kun Yin, and says: "It is admitted at Kan Kin that Liu's authority Is now insufficient to guarantee maintenance of the law and order north of the river. Hence the consuls at the Yang Tse ports are arranging for the departure of the women and children. It Is inevitable

great difficulty. The substance of the let ter Is as follows:
 The situation at Pekin is extremely critical. The foreign legations are sur rounded on all sides by Chinese soldiers, and bombarded night and day. The mem bers of the legations, the guards and resi- dents, are resisting to the utmost but the overwhelming numbers of the enemy make opposition hopeless. Our ammunition is be- ing exhausted. Our lives are in such dan ger than we may be massacred at any mo- moment. The immediate dispatch of rein forcements for our rescue from our pre- carious condition is urged
 The Japanese conusl at Che Foo adds that he communicated, this letter to his colleagues of the consular body, and also to the commanders-in-chief of the forces of the powers.
 Another cablegram received through the foreign office from the Japanese consul at Che Foo reports that Tien Tsin castle was captured by the forces of the allies on the 14th, and the safety of the foreign settle ment is assured. Japanese troops took pos- session of Sussex Ting, the Chinese naval station, on the 14th.
