EIGHT HUNDRED AMERICANS
Reported to be Taking Part in the

Reported to be Taking Part in the
Fighting In na- Hung
Chang's Mission.
LONDON, June 23.-3 a. m.-The
silence of Pekin continues unbroken.
Four thousand men of the allied forces
were having sharp defensive fighting
at Tien Tsin Tuesday and Wednesday,
with a prospect of being reinforced
Thursday. This is the situation in
China as set forth in the British gov
eminent dispatch.
Eight hundred Americans are TAX
ing part in the fighting at Tien Tsin,"
says the Shanghai correspondent OF
the Daily Press, cabling last evening,
land $hey apparently form a part OF a
supplementary force, arriving with
Germans and British after the conflict
started. 1t is impossible to estimate
the number of the Chinese there; but
they had a surprising number OF
guns"
This information appears to have
been brought by the United States gum
boat Nashville to Chefoo, and tele~
graphed thence to Shanghai The Chi
nese are deserving Shanghai in large
numbers and going into the interior.
Reports from native sources continue
to reach Shanghai of anarchy in Pekin.
According to these tales the streets are
filled day and night with Boxers, who
are wholly beyond the control of the
Chinese troops and who are working
themselves up to a frenzy and clamor-
ing for the death of all foreigners.
The English consulate at Shanghai
is said to have received from inhuen>
tial natives reports of a tragedy in the
palace at Pekin, though precisely what
it is is not defined. The consulate
thinks that Admiral Seymour, COM
mander of the International relief col
umn, was misled by information from
Pekin, and, consequently, under
estimated the difficulties in his way
and the Chinese power of resistance
with maxim guns and Mausers.
The consuls at Shanghai still believe
the foreign ministers at Pekin safe, al
though Japanese reports received at
Shanghai allege that up to June Is, one
hundred foreigners had been killed in
Pekin.
The Daily Express says:
I'VE understand that Mr.. Reginald
Thomas Tower, secretary of the British
embassy in Washington, is to succeed
Sir Claude Macdonald at Pekin, and
that the reason of Sir Claude's recall is
the breakdown of his health"
A special despatch from Vienna says:
Lii Hung Chang has wired the Vari-
Gus Chinese legations in Europe direct
ing them to inform the governments
to which they are accredited that he is
called to Pekin by the Empress to act
as intermediary between China and the
powers to negotiate a settlement of the
points at issue; and he tnstructs them
to beg the powers to facilitate his mis-
sion by ceasing to send troops to
China"

of a proper selection of healthful food.

SCRANTON, Pa, June 22.-Edwin
E. Everhart, a young man about town,
was sent to the county Jail this after
noon in default of S., 900 bail, charged
with conspiring to murder his aged
and wealthy father. DR.. l. F. Ever
hart, of Franklin avenue.
The evidence in the case is furnished
by Frank B. Lewis, the man who
claims to have been hired to do the
deed, and detectives have furnished
such convincing confederation that lit
tie room is left to doubt the story.
The motive is alleged to have been
the desire on young Everhart's part to
secure his fathers money, estimated
at a quarter of a million.
For four or five years, the son has
been living a fast life and last spring
he was made correspondent in the SEN
sational divorce suit of City Assessor
Philip Rinsland, against his wife, May
Williams Rinsland. This last esca-
pade turned the father completely
against him and when a New York de-
tective came on here last week to en-
deavor to get the father to make good
some checks which it is alleged young
Everhart forged and passed in New
York, the father refused to raise his
hand even to save his son from Jail.
The case, it seems, was compromised
by the son.
This action of the father, coupled with
a story the son heard to the effect that
his father was to re-marry, and the fur
Their fact that he only had seventy-seven
cents between him and hell, as he put it
himself, led to the desperate deed. the
detectives say.
AT the hearing to-day it was told by
Lewis that Everhart offered him IS, 900
to kill the old man." furnished him with
a newly %sharpened butcher knife and re-
Yolver and instructed him to go to the
mouse late at night, ring the bell of the
doctors office, and when the "old man"
came down, kill him. A $1,000 Judgment
note, dated last Saturday, and given by
E. E. Everhart to Frank Lewis, was
shown by Lewis at the hearing.
Lewis told of the affair 10 p. P. Carter
last Sunday, and he informed DR.. Ever
hart, with the result that young Ever
hart was arrested this morning at a
Green Ridge Hotel, where Mrs. Rinsland
is also staying.
He was placed under $1,000 bail and in
default was committed to the county Jail.
He refuses to make any statement

Very shortly the Wolf fell down and
rolled over as if in great pain, and the
Kid remarked:

most dead"
Yes, he seems to be having a hard
time of it," answered the mother, but
don't you get too fresh. A Wolf may
be lame or sick. but he's no spring
calf"
Five minutes later the Wolf uttered
a mournful howl and fell over and
"Ah, mel" said the Kid. But I can
now go out and see what a Wolf is
k There can surely be no danger
in approaching a dead Wolf"
My son." replied the mother, 'let
me impress it on your young brain that
even though a Wolf be dead he is still

You stay right here and enjoy these old
tomato cans with your mummy"
But the Kid had made up her mind
to have a closer look at the dead Wolf,

she sprang to the ground and trotted
away. The mother did not miss her
until she heard a bleat of alarm, and
as she looked up it was to see the
Wolf bearing the innocent young thing
away to the forest for his dinner.
Moral.-We know it's a confidence
game, but we like to see how it's
played.

There was hardly a decent chair in the

not offer her chair at all, but sank
down on the tiger skin himself, placed
the tips of his fingers together and

suddenly seemed to take nervous in

evidently was none. She tried to open
the door and cry for help, but in her
excitement could find neither handle
