GERMANY HEARS NOTHING
She is Still Unable to Communicate
 With Tien Tsin

Berlin, June 1S.-The German foreign of- fee has received no telegraphic communi- cation from Pekin for several days either by way of Russia or any other route This applies also to all the powers. Today Ger many had telegraphic communication with Chee Foo and Shanghai, but was unable to get connections with Tien Tsin and Taku. The reports regarding the burning of the legation and the murder of the German Minister, Baron von Kettler, have not been confirmed, although the foreign office has tried every possible way of getting some thing definite. "Nevertheless,' said the foreign office, "our sources of news are so few that it is quite possible the reports are true"
 The same official made the following statement with reference to the relations with the powers:
 "No precise agreement has yet been reached between the powers interested in China regarding their joint action there, its scope, the proportional strength of the forces or the part to be assigned to each"
 The press takes a very serious view of the situation, apprehension for the safety of the foreign offices being combined with anxiety respecting the international en- tente.
 The transport ship which arrived Satur- day at Tsin Tau with 1,S00 soldiers for the relief of the Kia Chau garrison proceeded yesterday for Taku with these troops.

Piano Donated to Alabama
 Boys Industrial School

Among the recent donations to the Ala
 bama Boys Industrial school was piano
 and the following note to Mrs R. D. John
 ston, expressing the desire to furnish the
 school with a musical instrument indicates
 the individual interest that the work has
 aroused among many of the prominent
 business firms. The Alabama women who
 have been leaders in this movement have
 frequently addressed large audiences that
 included men, and the latter have respond
 ed to this cause with a generosity and
 liberality that was inspired by the plead
 ings of philanthropic women and as a re- suit of their work the Industrial Farm
 has not only been established but equipped and the buildings comfortably furnished. On a recent occasion in Montgomery Mrs. George B. Eager made talk upon the school and one of the results was the fol- lowing letter that was sent to the presi- dent of the board
 Dear Madam:-The entire state Is witness to your noble and self-sacrifcing efforts for the rescue and up-building of a certain class of youths of the state, and when in conversation with one of Montgomery lovlest matrons, Mrs. A. G. Forbes, the writer had the idea suggested to him to | furnish this Boys Industrial school, when you get it in operation, square piano as | a gift from the Jesse French Piano and 1 Organ Co., Mrs. Forbes pointed out the fact that a piano would not only be | great source of pleasure and qualification | to those of the inmates who were musical
 ly inclined, but would necessarily be ele- vating and up-building to them all. | Acting llpOn this S1lpPeStion we write to | say that it will be our pleasure to furnish | this instrument, should it prove accepta- | ble, at any time you may be ready for it. In the meantime, with expressions of our | high regard and admiration kind regards | and best wishes we remain, very respect | fully yours,
