THE HOBOKEN HORROR.

Sixty-seven bodies of victims of the
Hoboken fire had been recovered up to
last night. Each hour that passes wit
nesses additional reooveries OF bodies,
scared, manned and burned hey ond all
semblance OF humanity. And the hall
has not yet been told, as all the bodies
brought to the surface yesterday were
caught on graphing hooks. About the
first OF next week people will realize
the appalling loss OF life, as 1t will then
be time for the bodies that are now ly
Ing at the bottom OF the river to come
to the surface of the water on their
own accord. The list of missing is still
placed at but few below the three hun
dred mark, and when the bodies begin
floating to the surface the gruesome.
ness of the situation will be realized.
A number have been taken from the
Saale, but no effort has yet been made
to search the Main, which is still a red
hot hulk, or the Bremen. The Main
and Saale are wrecked beyond repair.
Mayor Fosan, of Hoboken, will ap-

THE WAR IN CHINA.

There has been revolution at Pekin
by which Prince Tusn has dethroned
the Empress Dowager and the Emper'
or and made his son emperor. The
Prince himself is practically dictator.
Facts about the revolution in the palace
are still obscure, but it is evident that
there has been q state OF anarchy in the
capital, with 10000 soldiers fighting in
side the walls aud az manv outside.
The legations are at the mercy Of
mobs of armed men, who are bent upon
destroying all foreigners. There are
persistent rumors that the allied forces
have already entered the capital, after
defeating the Chinese regulars and
Boxers; but these are apparently pre-
mature, and are based upon the ocou-
patton of Tientsin.
Germany has decided upon reprisals
to aveuge the death of Baron Won Ket-
teller, German Minister to China. The
Kaiser has made up his mind to send ia
China the first division Of bsttleships,
consisting of four vessels--Bayern,
Wurtemberg, Baden and Sachsen
Each has about 7 400 TOES displacement
and carries crew OF 440 men. To ad-
dition the Germans will send troops
numbering perhaps 10000 men. just
what demands will be made on China
has not yet been decided upon. 1t has
not yet been made clear that Germany
will make war on the empire. 1t may
merely seize territory or property az a
preliminary to collecting an indemnity
Disquieting information has come to
Washington with regard to- the other
foreign Ministers in Pekin. Admiral
Kempff has cabled that native runner
brings news of their being in dire straits.
A reassuring rumor comes through
Shanghai and London tat European
rescue force has reached Pekin, but is
scarcely credited. 1t is officially denied
in London that the allies are even NOV
ing to PekiD.
The authorities at Washington have
not yet decided to look upon China as
at war with the United States. II 1t
should prove true that Primes Tuan
has overthrow the regular Chinese
Government and is making the anti
foreign uprising a national affair, state
OF war may be declared.
After 4S hours consideration and pro.
badly after consulting the President at
Canton, Ohio, by wire the Cabinet Of
ficers at Washington have decided not
to ratify the agreement OF nine articles
providing for the naturalization OF
Shanghai and the southern Chinese
treaty ports submitted by Minister WI.

From China.

London, July 3.-There Is still no re-
lief from the suspense caused by the IN.
certainty of the situation in China and
particularly Pekin. The relief force OF
Russians which has been vsriously re-
ported as proceeding to and as having
arrived at Pekin, is myth, and there
Is not only no relief for the foreigners
in the Chinese capital imminent, but
none is 10 sight. According to some
late dispatches, fighting Is again pro-
ceeding at Tientsin. Meanwhile from
authoritative sources come reports Of the
ministers desperate situation. Eight
days ago they were running short OF
provisions and the legation guards had
almost exhausted their ammunition.
This latter fact is significant as indicst-
ing that the legations have been repell.

There is still remarkable absence OF
rumors even concerning any agreement
or working arrangement on the part OF
the powers in the Chinese crisis.
Shanghai July 3.-The first French
troops from Saigon arrived at Tsku to-
day and will 60 to Tientsin. There is
danger of a water famine at Tientsin
owing to the poisoning OF the Pei Ho
river by dead bodies.
Paris, July st is rumored that the
British Embassy here has been notified
that the French and English ministers
at Pekin have been murdered. The
Embassy refuses to confirm the report.
Wilhelmshayen, July 3.-The trans
ports Wittekind and Frankfurt, with
2,100 marines On board, sailed this
morning to re.enforce the German cons
tingent in China. The Kaiser made
farewell address to the marines today
before their departure for China. Re-
ferring to the murder of Baron Won

ONE OF the loudest lingo republican
newspapers of the North says, "Ameri-

They said they went to war with Spain
TO give freedom to the people OF her
Islands, and not for the acquisition of
one inch OF their territory. But almost
the whole OF her insulsr possessions
have been seizsd and held, and the
people thereof are denied their freedom.

Two SHEETS or NATIONAL BANK
NOTES SToLEN.-Secret service officers
are trying to fiud out who was guilty
OF the theft OF two sheets OF national
bank notes that are my seriously mis- e
ing from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing 10 Washington. The theft oc-
Cured about three weeks ago, and, IL is
said, could not have been committed
except by an employee. Each note was
OF $40 value, four on each uncut sheet,
making $50 altogether. The loss will
not fall upon the government, but up
on the acceptors of the notes. The
notes we're neither numbered nor sign
ed, and the Treasury seal had not bee
stamped upon them. They found Iher
way back to the Treasury. where they
were refused. No one seems to know
at the banks when they were accel t.
ed or the person from whom they were
received.

list of any value it would be necessary to
prepare q new one or at least to revise

about 5000 dogs annually, and TO prepare
