Tien Tsin, June 6. - Two more Of
the party of foreigners who fed from
P~ao-T1ng-Fu have arrived here. One
of them was badly injured. The body
Of mounted Cossacks who started in
search Of the refugees returned last
evening. They report that they had a
fight with the boxers at Tuli, killing
sixteen and wounding many. Lieut..
Bleuskey, Dr.. Hamilton, a trooper, and
q civilian, were wounded. 1t is re-
ported from Pao-Ting-Fu that eight
Americans and three members of the
China Inland mission are missing. The
missionaries are in great danger. No
further news has been received regard
ing the missing refugees.
Burned by Boxers.
London, June 6.-The Picking cor
respondent of the Times, telegraph
ing June 3, says: s'The boxers have
burned Huang Sun station on the Tien
d%islocated and the foreign guards are
necessary to police the line. The ser.
vices of a party of Cossacks were &C.
cepted on Sunday to accompany the
relief party from Tien Tsin to rescue
the mining engineers in the interior.
The relief PARTY returned without full
filling its mission. Two Russian Of
fcers have been wounded by the box
ers and another Russian detachment
is sure to be sent to punish the assail-
ants. The reported murders of the
missionaries appear to be fictitious, al
though the fate of British mission
ary is causing anxiety. Chinese who
are associated with foreigners or with
Christianity are being vigorously per-
secuted"
After . Stormy Interview.
According to a. special dispatch
from Shanghai the Cossacks were dis
patched to the rescue of the Belgians
after q stormy interview between the
Belgian minister and the members of
the tsung Ii yamen. Over forty miles
Of bridges and stations on the Lu Han
railway have been destroyed and it
will take months to repair the dam
age. The German and Austrian le-
cations guards have arrived at Pc
king. 1t is asserted that the govern
ment is delaying the transition of tel
egrams in order to control the move
ments of the boxers. Apparently the
Chinese officials will do nothing to
prevent massacres or Outrages unless
the. powers take vigorous and ener-
getic action.
An Attack Expected.
Tien Tsin, June 6.-The boxers are
reported four miles off and an attack
is expected. Everything is ready and
the government appears confident.
The German and French naval guards
have arrived.

Gen. Darward, the British commander
at the storming of Tien Tsin, has sent
to the American commander a letter
in which he says: II desire to ex'
press the appreciation of the British
troops of the honor done them in serv'
ing alongside of their comrades of the
American army, and of the high honor
accorded me in having them under my
command.
II blame myself for the mistake
made in taking their position by the
Ninth regiment, not remembering that
troops fresh to the scene of action and
hurried forward in the excitement Of
attack were likely to lose their way
Still, the position they took and gal
lantly stuck to all day undoubtedly

from turning the right of the attacking

CAMBRIDGE'S WITTY LAWYER.

Whenever a group of Massachusetts
lawyers get to telling yarns, it is dol
lars to doughnuts that one or more
will concern the late Henry w. Paine
of Cambridge. One of the most bril-
liant lawyers of his generation, it is
probable, nevertheless, that he will be
chiefly remembered for his exquisite
gift of repartee.

rupted during an argument by motor

"Oh, no." said Paine. "Merely su.

Not long before his death Paine be-
came interested in case, as a matter
of charity, in which lad Of some Id
years was charged with arson. Paine
defended the boy and offered conclu-
sive evidence that he was, to all prac-
tical purposes, an idiot and totally ir-
responsible. Nevertheless the jury in
the case, after charge from the court,
which was virtually an order for &C
quittal, brought in verdict of guilty.
That presiding judge then addressed
Paine:
"You will move for new trial, l

The Ninth was ordered to support

wall half mile from the city wall, the
Ninth shifted, advanced against the
