Lyon county. Minnesota. is almost
confronted with the dilemma whether
to permit It's treasury to become bank
'upt or to permit the wolves 10 abol-
,sh stock raising. During the months
of March, April and May the county
paid for the killing of elght-flve full
grown wolves and 10 whclps NJ less
than S2,953. And there Is no evidence
that the wolves are appreciably re-
duced In numbers. Lyon county is com.
paratively thickly settled and lies $50
miles west Of Minneapolis. Many sheep
are raised there and the wolves prey
upon the ilocks.

Meat In yiadivo.tak.

solved TO raise the price Of meat.
Their reasons are the usual stock ar

appear trifie funny when It is re.
called that one Chinese merchant who
imported thousand slaughtered cat

was not allowed TO discharge his cargo
for three weeks. when landed tho
meat had to be cornnd in order to save
It. and the unfortunate purchaser was
compelled to buy barrels to preserve
his importation. and incur additional
expense. vegetarians are amused n,

1t IS NOT AN uLTl i \ ! | |!

CoNsrANr1NoPLE, June 25.AL Lloyd &.
Griscom, United States charge dat
flares, has presented a fresh note to the
Ottoman government insisting upon IN
immediate reply to the demand Of the
United States for settlement Of the
indemnity in connection with the losses
Of Americans at the time Of the Arme-
Iian massacre. Although vigorously
phrased the note is not an ultim alum.
It is said, however, to have been a dis.
agreeable surprise to the porte, testify.
ing as it does. to the intention OF the
United States government to pursue
this matter of indemnity to the end.
WASHINGTON, June %. The repre-.
sentation which Mr.. Griscom made, to
the porte respecting payment of the
American indemnity claims, was writ.
ten here and consists Of strong pre-
sentation of the case and an urgent re-
quest for an early payment of the
claims. It was not an ultimatum, since
it contained no alternative proposition
as to our course in case paymentis not
made. The latest presentation is in ac-
cordance with the determination of the
United States government to press these
claims to settlement. s >SttI

DECLARATION OF WAR.
Whole Military Strength of China Aid

Whole Military Strength of China Aid
ing the Boxers.
LONDON, June 25.-Matters in China
appear &C. have reached nearly the
climax Of seriousness, Judging from the
latest news. The announcement that
Prince Tuan has assumed active COM
mand Of the Chinese troops, and the
bombarding of Tien Tsin seems con-
elusive evidence that the dowager en-
press has declared war on the combined
European powers and that the whole
military strength Of China is to be en-
ployed in behalf of the Boxers. It is
considered significant that the Chinese
smerchants Of Shanghai are realizing on
their effects IN specie, and retiring into
the interior. Evidently they anticipate
a spread Of the trouble. Consequently,
It is urged, the forts at Woo Sung
should be seized by the international
forces, in view of possible eventualities.
Possibly as preliminary to some action
OF this kind, the consuls at Shanghai
have addressed note to the Chinese
admiral, asking him to remove his feet
from Shanghai.

SHANGHAI, June Rs. Prince Tuan
has taken charge, as ral-in-chief,
after dismissing Young La, a nephew
Of the emperor, the former commander
in-chief.e Prince Tuan gave notice that
he would march to Tien Tsin and sweep
out the handful of foreigners there. At
daylight on the morning Of June 81, he
attacked the settlements at Nen Tsin
with artillery, and the best Of the
drilled troops. The Chinese army had
about as Krupps. They managed to
burn the United States consulate. The
warehouses and the Standard Oil com
pany's premises are believed to have
escaped. Though the. situation. is
grave, the Chinese have. not occupied
Tien Tsin. -;
The latest news from PekiA emanat-
ing from authentic sources is to the
effect that there is no change in the
situation. This is understood that the
legations still hold out. The Chinese
have surrounded them, but do not dare
to make another attack. Apparently
they hope to starve out those who have
taken refuge there.
