All SINS APPEAL TO US.

Our Government Not in Harmony with
the European Powers.
Washington, July 23.-President Nc
Kinley has received what purpOrts to
be direct appeal from the Chinese
Imperial government to use his good
offices to eXtricate that government
from the difficult and dangerous posi-
ton in which it has been placed as a
result of the Boxer uprising and the
ensuing hostile attitude Of the great
powers.
Although the exact text of the ap-
peal made by the emperor of China to
France has not been made known here
1t is believed that the address to the
president 10 similar in terms to that
communication. The French govern
ment answered at once, but that an
swer will not serve us. The United
state government is conscientiously
proceeding upon an entirely different
line of policy in the treatment of the
case. Unfortunately the state depart
ment finds itself alone in this, but
nevertheless it is convinced that its
plan is the best, and it has behind it
the consoling assurance that at pres
ent all of the European governments
nave duliilttCu thot an SiioA
was made in the beginning in lombard
ing Taku, which the United states
naval commander advised against.
The Point of difference between the
state department and the European
governments is that the latter are pro-
ceeding upon the belief that all of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards at Picking have been killed, and
insist upon dealing with the Chinese
government upon that basis, thereby
assuming a hostile attitude that tends
to destroy the last chance of availing
of whatever friendly sentiment may
vet exist among the powerful Chinese
viceroys and the imperial government
! itself.
On the other hand our government
while not guaranteeing the truth of
| the advces from the Chinese govern
ment as to the safety of the foreign
ministers, is willing to accept the
\ statements temporarily, in the mean
time RENTING none of rs efforts to
get access to Conger through the use
of military force, If need be.
A particularly deplOrable effect OF
the reasoning of the European govern
ments on this point-in the estimation
our governments the abandonment
Of the idea that there is particular
need for haste and for taking even
desperate chances in the effort to get
the international relief column
through to Picking. The military ex-
perts here who have been closely
scanning all the reports from Tientsin
that appear to be worthy of credit, feel
that even now the way Is open to Pc
king and that the march should begin
with the force at present on the Pei
Ho leaving the powers to bring up re-
enforcement to reopen the base, should
the first expedition be cut off.

ANOTHER EIGHT AT TIENTsIN.
Brilliant Dash of Anglo-Americans
Against the Chinese.


New York, July 23.-A dispatch
from Chefoo, July 20, says: A brill
liant dash against a large force OF
Chinese at Tientsin was made this
morning by detachment of Ameri-
can troops, assisted by some English
fusiliers. The object was to capture
a battery of large caliber cannon
which had been doing great damage.
The Anglo-American troops charged
a large fort across an open space and
were exposed to a hot but poorly di-
rected fire from the enemy. They
dashed into the fort, and after engag-
ing the Chinese in sharp hand-to-
hand fight, put them to flight and re-
NAMED masters Of the fort. Eight
large, modern guns were captured, to-
gether with carts and all the Access
series. The battery was Immediately
turned upon the fleeing enemy, who
under the well-directed fire suffered
heavy losses. The victory was won
in an incredibly short time against an
overwhelmingly superior force, and,
despite the charge under fire and the
fight in the fort, neither the Americans
nor the British lost a single man. The
Chinese army is now retreating toward
Pekin.

Iowa has about one and one-half
million acres planted in wheat this
year. The wheat is heading out short
but it will be fair crop and will bring
high prices, owing to the drouth furth-
er north. A corn crop of 25O,OOO,OOO
bushels in Iowa is anticipated and So
per cent of it will be fed to the live
stock and taken to market ION foot"
Director Sage of the weather and crop
service estimates that it would take a
train 10000 miles long to transport
Iowa's farm products to market this
year. The entire railroad trackage of
the state would not give standing
room for the crop, although Iowa has
1900 miles of track. s@-.
