JAPS AND AMERICANS

Siege.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-Minister Con-
ger with his diplomatic colleagues and
all Of the other 800 foreigners who for
more than two months have withstood
the attacks of the Chinese Boxers, are
now safe and Peking is in the hands
of the allied commanders. The mod
ern crusade Of christendom has proved
successful. There is no longer any
doubt about 1t, for official confirmation
Of the good news has been received by
the United States government from
both Admiral Remey and Consul Fow-
Ter at Che Foo. There is rejoicing in
official circles, from the president down,
and the details Of the crowning VIC
tory Of the allies in the capture of the
Chinese capital are awaited with eager
interest.
1t is said that the majority Of the
rescued legation people are scarcely
recognizable to their friends. Their
hair has turned white from the hor-
rors Of the siege and constant fear Of
massacre, the ceaseless watching and
the care Of sick, wounded and helpless.
This, however, is merely one of these
rumors that some times fly far ahead
of the actual news of great events.
On every hand there is praise for the
organization that has enabled a small
army Of $1,000 Americans, English,
Russians and Japanese to make a con-
quering march Of one hundred miles
through an enemy's country in SO short
q time and with SO conspicuously bril-
liant results. But even this well
earned praise. pales into significance

TO GO ON TRIAL TODAY.
Alleged AssniIants of Dora Linkins
TO Be Arraigned Again.

In Criminal Court No. 2, Justice Cole
presiding, Frank, Turner, Henry Ware,
James Gray, Robert Pendleton, Joseph
Mack, Howard Berry. and Lemuel Simms,
all colored, will today for the second time,
be put on trial charged with making a
criminal assault upon Dora Linkins, near
the James Creek Canal in July last. The
accused were tried before Justice Cole, in
January last, and convicted, and with the
exception of Simms, who is under sixteen
years Of age were sentenced to thirty years
each in the penitentiary at Moundsvlle,
W. Va, A motion for a new trial was
made by the defendants counsel, Attor-
ney w. Preston Williamson, but this was
overruled by the cuort. When the tohers
were sentenced, on account of his age,
Lemuel Simms was ordered to be confined
in the Reform School until he reached his
majority, unless released by order of the
court.
The defendants were granted new trial
because of newly discovered evidence.
This evidence, it is understood, will tend
to strengthen that given at the first trial
to prove an alibi. When the defendants
were tried in January they were repre-
scented by w. Preston Williamson, and the
Government by Alexander II. Semmes. AS
sistant District Attorney. At the trial to-
day the defendants will be represented by
Attorneys Samuel S. Truitt, Lemuel Fugitt
and J. Mcdowell Darlington.

A sAENeERBUND CELEBRATION.
Forty-ninth Anniversary of the Or
Eanizatiou Obscryed.

The saengerbund. which both as must
cal and social organization takes rank as
one Of the most important in the District,
celebrated its forty-ninth anniversary last
evening at the bund home, in Street
northwest.
In cOmmemoration OF the day the society
dedicated an imposing new composite pic
ture of its members. The group, hand
somcly framed in massive oak. is ten feet
high and twelve feet long. 1t is placed
just above the landing OF the main stair
way. It is divided into three panels. The
centre one contains the emblem Of the So
ciety, a great golden Tyre Within IL are
grouped the portraits of members who
compose the choral strength of the Saen-
gerbund. On the gold base of the Tyre are
the pictures Of the life members. In the
panel on either side are the pictures of the
passive members. All are excellent pho
tographs. The group was yelled with a
large American flag. The dedication was
accompanied by interesting addresses.
During the evening an excellent pro-
gramme was given. 1t included a prologue,
die Drei Schwestern," by Frank Claudy,
the President of the order; choruses,
Kieserling's "Farwohl' and Silcher's
'Lcreley,'' by the Saeugerbund: a tenor
solo, Siegmund's Love Song" by Albert
Wolhungen, late of the Berlin Royal
Opera House; an address in English by the
Hon. Simon Wolf; baritone solo, Heisers
Die Grenadiere." by William Saure; two
soprano solos. Harris Night Song" and
Bartlett's THE Sweetness of Loving Is
Dreaming" by Miss Lillian Lewis; two
tenor solos. Becker's "Fruhlingslied" and
Schumanns "Wanderlied." by Albert Wolf
fungen; an octette, THE Tear" by the
Franz Abt Club. and Claudy's "Zum
Stiftungest," by the Saengerbund. All the
numbers were enthusiastically encored,
and the big audience, which included many
ladies'. was most cordial in expressing its
approval.
The Saengerbund was never in such good
shape as at present. Ii is entering the
fiftieth year of its life In Washington with
a membership OF over 700, and the list is
growing rapidly. In its new quarters, pur-
chased at cost OF S35. 600, 1t has not only
a fine music hall. but q bowling alley
card room. cafe, pool tables, and reading
rooms all complete. The initiation fee. s.,
and the annual dues, of the same sum,
have made it possible for the bund TO at
tract a large part of the Districts musical
population. While a majority Of the mem
bers are of German birth or ancestry. there
are many Americans on the roll Frank
Claudy is President and Henry Xander.
Musical Director.
