ADVANCE ON PEKINC
CONTINUES; ALLIES
CAPTURE YANG TSUN
News of Another Victory Over
the Chinese Received In
Washington.
TEN TsIN AGAIN IN PERIL

Large Body of Chinese Are Assembled
Within Striking Distance-Losses of
the Enternationals at Pietsang-Rus-
sian Casualties Number 600, Japa-
nese 40 and British 100.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The follow
ing bulletin has been received by the
signal office of the army here:
"CHE Foo, Aug. 9.-Yang Tsun cap
tured Aug. 6. Wire US. Need own
transportation. All we'll"
Yang Tsun is the town which General
Chaffee indicated in his dispatch, re-
ceived late yesterday, as being the OBJ
jective of the international forces on
their pending movements.
It's capture will insure to the interna-
tional troops, it is hoped, two routes of
transportation to Peking. Tt is 17.8
miles from Tien Tsin.s
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The flooded coun-
try beyond Pietsang adds UNNECESSARILY
to the difficulty of the progress of the
allies toward Picking. The News says
the correspondents from Tien Tsin con-
tains statements to the effect that the
situation at Tien Tsin is again perilous,
owing to the assembling of Chinese
troops within striking distance.
The losses of the allies in the recent
operation are now said to be 1920 men,
of which number the Russians lost 600,
the Japanese 40 and the British 100.
International suspicion has broken out
among the consuls at Shanghai on &C
count of the determination of the Brit
ish to land there a brigade of Indian
troops. 1t is reported that the French
will also land troops at Shanghai to the
number of 200 men. While the minis
tiers at Picking remain unrelieved, it is
not understood why Great Britain
should divert forces destined for the re-
lief of the expedition to garrison place
where peace, thus far, has been undis-
turbed.
A news agency dispatch from Che
Foo says a messenger from Peking re-
ports that the dowager empress sent
four carloads of food to the legations on
July %.
The British foreign office is under
stood to have suppressed portions of the
last dispatch of the British minister at
Peking, Sir Claude Macdonald, on the
ground that these explicit statements re-
garding the quantity of food and ammu-
milton available might be useful to the
enemy.

MESSAGE TO CHINA
WAS NOT IN FORM
OF AN ULTIMAT UNI
Immediate Cessation of Hos
tile Attacks on Legation
Is Demanded.
COOPERATION REQUESTED

Acting Secretary Adee Suggests That
the Imperial Government Place It
self In Communication With the Re-
lief Column-Not Safe to Send the
Ministers to the Coast.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The dispatch
sent last night to the Chinese govern
ment through Minister WI is not in the
form or nature of an ultimatum. Tt in
sists, however, that the firing on the le-
cations cease and that the imperial gov
eminent, if it desires to show it's friend
illness, shall cooperate with the relieving
column. In this matter the government
has proceeded on the assumption that
the imperial government is willing to do
all it can to aid in relieving the minis
tiers.

nances have been introduced is purely
matter for conjecture.
There were two such ordinances in
troduced on Thursday night. one pro-
vided for the payment of the claim ot
Thomas Z. Stevens against the city,
and another provides for the appoint
ment of permanent man for the
Franklin Engine company and appro-
priating $400 out of this appropriation
for his salary. Other ordinances pend
ing which provide for the taking of
funds from the judgment and incl
dentals appropriation are as follows:
Appropriating $1,000 for two perma-
nent men for the Niagara and Liberty
Hose companies; appropriating $500 for
the payment of a permanent man for
the Excelsior Hose company; provld-
ing for the maintenance of telephone
in the Crystal hose house, and provid-
ing for three electric lights in the
Twelfth ward.
If these ordinances are passed by
councils and signed by the mayor, the
controller will simply return them with
a communication announcing that IL
was useless to pass them, as the APP
preparation has been exhausted.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

You'll see that you seldom or never
get something for nothing. In the long
run it pays to buy only those things
which have an established reputation
and are sold at a fair price.
There are occasions, however, when
one is able to buy high grade article
at ridiculously low price, as is being
demonstrated in the remarkable bar
gains in pianos offered by the Finn
Music House. For example, a hand
some Hallet & Davis walnut upright
best largest and most expensive style
at $4,000, or Royal upright rosewood
finish, double veneered case, hardwood
back, 1-3 octaves, three strirged
three pedals repeating action, full me-
tai plate at $125.00. This stock COM
prises twelve different makes: each
and every piano guaranteed by the
makers for five or some for eight years.
The motive is clear. Having adopted
a fixed policy, and settled upon a rep
resentative line 1t became necessary
that this stock should be closed out
to make room for the regular line of
pianos. Afording a glorious opportu-
nifty to win popularity by offering
pianos at prices utterly impracticable
II 1t we're intended to continue the
sale of those instruments.
Churches, lodges, societies, schools,
etc, will find this golden opportunity
to make a capital investment in pianos.
1t is necessary to see these instr J.
ments to appreciate the disparagement
between price and value.
Payments, or cash. It's no difference
70 us. Costs a little more on pay
ments, but you have the use OF piano
and money. It's worth more. Examine
and see for yourself.

Have Been Filed at Wilkes-Barre in
Lutz Case.

In Saturdays Tribune announcement
was made of the fact that the attor-
neys for John Lutz, the convicted Luz
zerne county wife murderer had ap
piled for new trial. Following are
the grounds on which "a new trial is
asked:
First-In rejecting the testimony as to the
declaration of Mrs. Lutz that her husband was
insane.
second-In admitting the testimony Of the
neghbors that John Lutz, in their opinion, was
Of sound mind
Third-The court did not sufficient yinstruct the
jury on the proper consideration to be given to
expert testimony.
Fourth-In receiving and recording the verdict,
it not having been the voluntary verdict OF all
the jurors.
Judge Halsey directed that the mo-
tion be filed and placed on the list for
the next term of argument court,
which will be held during the week be-
ginning Monday, May rs.

How. Advertising Pays.

Two farmers were once dis
cussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many adver-
tisements in it. The other re-
piled: "In my opinion the ad-
advertisements are far from
being the least valuable part it.
| look them over carefully and
save at least five times the cost
of the paper each week through
the business advantages | get
from them"
Said the other: "I believe
you are right know that
they pay me we'll and rather
think it is not good taste to find
fault with the advertisements
after all. "
1t pays any man with a fami-
ly to take a good local paper for
the sake of the advertisements
if nothing more. And if busi.
ness men fail to give farmers a
chance to read advertisements
in the local paper, they are all
blind to their interests to say
the least of it.
"You never trade with me,
said a business man to pros
porous farmer. "You have
never asked me and l never gc
where | am not invited
might not be welcome" was
his reply.-Nashville, N. c..
