So far In this campaign there has not
been much shifting around in the polti-
cal parties. The Republicans have won
over James NJ. Beck, of Philadelphia.
The Democrats have gained Webster
Davis, of Kansas. Beck's retirement
from Democracy was followed by his APP
polntment as assistant attorney general
by the president. Davis departure
from Republican ranks was preceded by
his resignation of a well-payng Office to
which he was appointed by the presi-
dent. 1t does not require much labor to
solve the question as to which man
made the change from principle.

Boxers had made two attempts to rush

Sir Halliday Mccartney, secretary to
the Chinese legation in London, who was

The correspondent adds certain de-
tails of affairs at Peling after June 20.
According to his story, the members of
the legations made daily sortics. some
times by night and so successfully rs to
compel the Chinese to retreat from the
immediate. vicinity. These reverses had
dsheartcning effect upon the Chinese
and there soon began TO be open signs of
dsaffection, followed by descrtons to
Prince Chings army, which was en-
dcavorng to cooperate with the besieg-
ed. Ultimately Prince Tuan decided to
make night attack in three powerful
columns.
"At o'clock in the evening of July
g." says the correspondent, fire was
opened with artillery upon the British le-
CATION where the foreigners were concen-
trated. For two hours the walls were
battered with shot and shell, and huge
breaches were made in them. Then Il
general advance was ordered, and the
Chinese infantry, volleying constantly
moved toward the gaps. The fire of the
defenders, however, was so accurate and
steady that hordes of Chinese soldiers
and Boxers broke and fled in the widest
confusion, leaving large numbers of dead

Women and Children to Save Them
From n Worse Fate.
London, July ia dispatch from
Shanghai. dated July 10, says:
"An official telegram that was receiv-
ed tonight from the governor of Shang-
tung states that a breach in the defenses
pf the Peking legations was made by the
guns of the Chinese assailants and that
after a gallant defense, during which
the ammunition was exhausted, all the
foreigners We're killed"
The morning papers are unanimous in
believing that the foreigners have been
annihilated and in calling for retrbution.
The Daily Chronicle comments upon the
statement of its Washington correspond
ent that the United States government
will not consider itself at war with China
and says:
IF the Americans are resolved to az
cept an apology and indemnity for Mr..
Conger's murder, they may as well take
these consultations without moving anoth-
er man or gun.
Emperor William can scarcely take
the Washington view, for he has pledged
himself to retribution, and he is man
of his word"
The Daily Telegraph, The Times and
other papers applaud Lord Salisbury's
policy of employing Japan as the only
policy that might have saved the for
eigners. The Daily Telegraph declares
that terrible responsibility rests upon
those who delayed Japanese action.
The Times publishes letter from its
Peking correspondent, dated June 10,
which contains an assertion made on
seemingly good authority that the en-
press had decreed that every foreigner
was to be massacred that night. 1t also

Prince Tuan had ordered that the lega.
ton be surrounded and all food supplies
cut off, belieging that the ministers, to
save their lives and those of the women
and children would Internationally sur
render and thus enable him to open ncgo-
tiations with the powers regarding the
demolition of the Taku forts. He was
not able to understand how the foreign
ers were able to hold out SO long, and
setting watch he discovered that Prince
Ching was secretly supplying them with
food and ammunition. Through General
Tung Fuh Slang he ordered the soldiers
and Boxers to fire on Mince Ching's
Mantclioo troops, and the latter were
driven off with great loss.
After interpolating some unimportant
matter the account adds that the foreign
hrs made sortie early in the morning of
