British Minister Macdonald at Pc
king sent message to London saying
that the legationers were alive on

Washington that the foreigners are
still alive. A dispatch from Consul
Fowler, at Chefoo, says the Amer
lean, German, Russian, British and
half japanese and French legations
were safe on July II and the attack
ceased, but might be renewed. The
British and American forces at Tien-
tsin were said to be preparing TO adj

A report from Shanghai says the

the advance upon Picking and should

couraged the attack on the legations,
and that truce was only granted be-
cause the Chinese became fearful aft
err hearing of the victory at Tientsin.
The Chinese minister in London says
his government regards the march of
the allies upon Picking as tantamount
to a declaration of war. War against
China by the United States and Euro

Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1900-04-20

W. T. Miller, the manager of
the "get-rich-quick" company in
New York city, has been con-
victed of grand larceny. There
were 1900 people who wanted
to prosecute him, so the judge
refused to consider each claim
separately. The general out
line of Miller's plan was to al
low his patrons to keep half of
their money as interest on the
other half that they ''invested''
in the Miller scheme. To get
/ 100 per cent int erest IN advance
was certainly snap, and then
the customer could invest his
"interest" on the same basis,
etc., etc. That was sort of TAX
ing advantage of Miller, to make
him pay interest on the inter
est, but when people are schem-
ing to get rich quick they will
do queer things. In me cases
Miller took the entire bank roll
Of his patron, and then paid
i. back same as interest at the rate
of 10 per cent a week. That re-
quired more book keeping and
detail work than the simple plan
of allowing customers to keep
half their money!.
