London, June AFFAIRS in China are
gradually working up crisis OF the
first magnitude The morning papers
think that the British squadron is
recognized as inferior in strength to
the Russian. as we'll as to the Japanese.
The Daily Telegraph says: I'VE re-
gret that Great Britain is too much
occupied in South Africa TO settle the
Chinese business with a strong hand"
The Daily Chronicle says: The for
eign Office ought to publish the dis
patches of Sir Claude Macdonald Brit
iSh minister at Pelin), following the
course of the United States in publish
ing Mr.. Conger's."
1t is generally understood that inter-
vention in some form is necessary.
The Pekin correspondent of the Times
says: No train either left or arrived
at PelIin yesterday. CTuesday). Further
damage to railways is reported. The
Boxer movement is spreading uncheck-
ed throughout the provinces.
mot one Boxer has yet been arrest
ed or punished. Anxiety is increasing
regarding the fate Of the missionaries
at the various stations. At the meet
ing of the Tsung Ii Yamen yesterday
(Tuesday). the japanese minister dis
cussed the offer of NJ. de GierS, Russian
minister to give the assistance of the
Russian troops in quelling disturbances.
The Tsung Ii Yamen denied that the
offer had been made; but Russia did
make it. and the Chinese government
is quite capable of accepting SUCH. as
sistance"
The Pekin correspondent of the
Times, in a long mail article, dated
April %, which deals with Russo
japanese rivalry in the far east, ex-
presses the opinion that war between
the two powers is inevitable, and that
it cannot be long delayed, because of
Russia's immense Chinese designs, and
the hatred the Chinese feel for Russia
when they see her enjoying the fruits
of Japanese victorious war to the det-
riment Of JaDan

Many Killed in an Engagement With
Boxers"

Boxers"
Shanghai, June 6.-The soldiers dis
patched to attack the boxers" have
fought an engagement quite close to
Pekin. Many were killed on both
sides.
In consequence of the representations
of Japan the landing Of large Rus
sian force at Taku is alleged to have
been stopped.
It is believed here that should Rus
STA persist in sending prepondering
military force to the front collision

Alarming reports are current here of
the hurried completion of the mobili-
cation of the japanese fleet.
The Russian minister at Pekin, NJ. de
Giers, has made another attempt to in
duce the Chinese foreign office to for
mally request Russian assistance to re-

been accepted

The Republican, opulite candidates
were advertised to speak at Pollock
on the 18th, and we suppose they
were on hand, bnt havs heard no re-
ports from the meeting. Young CAT
fery, who heads the combine ticket, is
said to be good lawyer and a fine
speaker = equally at nome for or
against almost any question. The
Democratic speakers will also hold
forth at Pollock next Tuesday night.
Those who heard Gallery ought also
to hear his opponents. Fair-minded
people always like to hear both sides.
II they will carefully size up the men
and issues of the two sides, we believe
they will decide that Gallery is too
much like his father to trust.

The Democratic Ticket.

The complete Democratic ticket, as
variously nominated and elected at
the primary election Dec. 18th, will
be found at the head of our columns
this week. Voters should familiarize
themselves with the ticket, and par
ticularly take note of the high repre-
sentative character of the men CON-
posing it. We challenge comparison
OF the candidates on the two tickets,
and feel assured that the worth OF the
Democraticnom as body is be-
yond question far superior to their
opponents, in everything that goes
to make up the merit OF citizenship.

Among Men Under Twenty.

+, Gen. Greedy, the chief signal officer,
who has watched the health Of the sol
diers with much interest and has made
some investigation on his own ac.
count, said he had learned from the ex-
Periences OF foreign armies that the
chance OF men dying in tropical eli.
mates is twice as great among men
VINO have not reached 25 years of age
as among those who have passed tnat
age. He has put this knowledge TO
practical use in assigning men of his
corps to duty in Cuba and Puerto
Rico, and whenever II was practical BILE
sent the men who had passed the age
when they were almost certain 20 es.
cape the diseases peculiar to tropieol
climates. He has also observed that
tho soldiers who were sent to Cuba
were in good health for 16 DAYS and
'nen there was general brea kdowp.
Another interesting point in connec-
ton with the sigma service men at
santiago was that of 10 men of the
regular service who returned to this
country not one of them was in the
hospital and only two were on the sic,
list, but in the case of ths volunteers

The CHRONICLE was in error two
weeks ago in saying that Mr.. George
Hassinger, of New Orleans, had been
pulled into line and would make the
race on the combine ticket. He posi-
lively declined the doubtful honor.
and Sam F. Heaslip was put up as
treasurer in his stead. The combine
nominees kept declining in such rapid
order that we got slightly mixed on
the ticket, and. seeing the gentleman's
name still flown by prominent Popu-
list papers, we fell into error, just as
any one may expect to do that ac-
cepts information from such an uure-
liable source. Mr.. Hassinger is a SEN
sible newspaper man. with too much
self-respect to play clown In any such
hybrid organization. We apologize
to him for our mistaken reflection.
