RepOrt of Capture Not Confirmed.
Envoys En- Route to Tien Tsin.
London, Aug. 22.-In the news that
reached London this morning direct
from China there is nothing to con-
firm the report that the empress dow
ager has been run to earth. The for
eign ENJOYS, according to the Shanghai
correspondent of The Daily Express,
are proceeding to Tien Tsin.
"The flags of the allies" says the
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Mail, wiring yesterday, ARE now float
ing over the imperial palace. Street
fighting, however, continues. Consid-
erable assistance in the capture of
Pekin was rendered by 1000 armed
native Christians. The legations were
enabled to hold out by purchasing am
munition from the Chinese.
The Daily Express prints this morn
ing long letter, said to have been
written by Vice Admiral Seymour, in
which he stoutly defends his action in
advancing to the relief of the le-
gatoners when he did. Referring to
the difficulties controlling mixed troops
and to their characteristics, he says:
"The Germans we admired most, but
for dash and go, none surpassed or
perhaps equaled the (r.ericans. The
French had no particular rapproach-
ment with any other nationality. The
Germans and Russians were inclined
to hold together, bit the Americans
were with us always"
American action IL refusing to deal
with Ii Hung Chang in the peace pro-
posal meets with unanimous approval
at the hands of the morning papers.

SUNNY WOMEN.

common cruelty. The young wife who

New York's Mysterious Murder

New York, Aug. 21.-Dr. Donlin,
coroner's physician. performed an au-
topsy on the body of Katheryn Scharn,
who was found murdered in her room
on Saturday evening. He said the
young woman was not hammered to
death, but was strangled. An inspector
said so far as he had Investigated he had
found no evidence derogatory to the
character of the dead girl. In his opin-
ion the murder was done by some one
who was then in the girls apartment
with her knowledge. He believed this
by the lack of evidence of a struggle.
The strangling of Miss Scharn was
committed only few doors away from
the spot where the brutal murder of
Mamie Cunningham was committed
several years ago.

advices show that the banners of the
imperial cOrtege were seen leaving
Pekin on the 18th, and that probably
the empress dowager, as well as the
emperor. had left the city. Consul Gen
eral GOodnow advised the state depart
nent that he had information from
Chinese sources that the empress dow
ger had left Pekin.
The attitude which the international
orces will observe toward the emperor
and empress dowager is understood
to have received official consideration
among the powers. Ii is quite generally
understood that there will be no per-
sonal indignity to the emperor or en-
press dowager, not because it Is felt
that there is any special consideration
due them, but because China would be
precipitated into a chaotic condition if
the responsible heads of the empire
lost their functions.
Admiral Remey has telegraphed a
list of the casualties in the late fight
ing among whom are Lieut.. Smedley
d. Butler, Privates Greene and War
rell, all slight. This is the second time
Lieut. Butler has been wounded.
The acting secretary of state
makes public the receipt of a telegram
from Consul General Goodnow, dated
the goth inst, reporting a statement of
the governor of Shan Tung, that the
empress left Pekin on the 18th for
Sinan Flu, in the province of Shensi,
and that Princes Ching and Tuan and
Viceroy Kank vi are still in Pekin.
"Sinan Flu" appears to be another pho
netic version of the name of the capital
of Shensi, where there is an imperial
palace.
China's latest application for peace
negotiations was received early in the
day at the Chinese legation, and was
transmitted by Mr. WI to the state
department Earl LIS request is that
the United States shall name Minister
Conger, or some other official, to act
as peace envoy for the cessation Of
hostilities. He expressed his willing
ness to go to such point as the powers
may desire, and under the intimations
made it is thought that Pekin or Tien
Tsin would be selected for the negotia-
tions. The Chinese envoy proposed no
terms as to the withdrawal of troops,
and made no other suggestion as to
what was to come before the commits
sion, his sole anxiety being to secure
the cessation of hostilities.
The application is understood also
TO have been made to the other powers
In the hope that if all would name a
commissioner there would be a gen.
eral council Of peace between Ii Hung
Chang on the one hand and the several
representatives of the nations on the
other. Aside from the fact that the
conditions of Aug. II have not yet
been complied with by China, it is
probable that this government would
desire to take sufficient time to learn
what the other powers intend doing on
the same line, as all are acting in
unison. Moreover, there are some un-
explained features Of Ii Hung Chang's
application, one of them being that
while he asks the allies to cease hos
tilities, he gives no assurance that he
has the power to make the Chinese
army and the rebellious Boxers cease
hoStilities

Fatal Rear-Bnd Collision Oh the
New York Central.
SEVEN ARE REPORTED DEAD.
The Accident Caused by the EnGi-
necr of the second Train Running
Him.

Past Block Signal Set Against
Him.
New York. Aug. 22.-There was a
fatal rear-end collision directly in front
of the depot at Kensico, N. Y, last
night. The engineer and fireman Of
the second train are buried under the
debris, crushed to death. The con-
ductor and two brakemen of the for
ward train are missing and are be-
lieved to be in the wreck dead Ken
sico is on the Harlem division of the
New York Central, about 16 miles
from this city. The collision was
caused, so far as can be learned, by
the engineer of the second train run
ming past a block signal set against
him 1t is believed that seven are
dead This estimate is based only on
the number Of men Of the train crews
who are missing.
The regular freight pulled into the
depot about o'clock. The train was
southbound. The engine left the train
standing upon the main tracks and
went off on a siding for some cars.
While this train was standing the sec
ond train, an extra loaded with ice,
dashed into it. The heavily loaded ice
train was driven into the rear cars Of
the freight and the engine mounted up
ward upon the cars and telescOped
them. Then the cars of its own train
piled up on top of it until in all about
80 cars are heaped into a pile which
towers above the railroad depot.
The dead engineer can plainly be
seen, but cannot be reached. His body
sits on the cab seat with the hand
resting on the air brake. There is so
much debris about it that even after
the wrecking train gets to tie scene it
will be hours before the body can be
reached. The wreckage is hard to clear
away because of the tons of ice which
are piled all over from the smashed
cars The forward train carried food
stuffs, grain aud live stock, number
of the latter being killed
The rails are ripped up for a dis
tance of 300 feet and trains in both
directions are blocked and probably
will remain so until noon today. No
cries have been heard from beneath
the pile, so it is believed all of the men
under it are dead. The engineer of the
ice train was William Laugerbach, said
to be resident of New York city. His
fireman was John Cassidy, also said to
be of New York city. One of the miss
ing brakemen was a man named Abel,
but whether this was his first or last
name is not ascertainable at present.
