OBSTINATE RESISTANCE.
Allies Fight Their Way Into Pekin
With Losses.
SURROUNDED LEGATIONS,

Washington, Aug. 2o.-The allied
armies have captured and entered
Pesin in the face of the most obstinate
resistance, and the members of the
foreign legations are safe. Official
confirmation of the fall of the Chinese
capital came to the United States de-
partmcut in the shape of two cable
grams, one from Admiral Remey came
to hand first, and another very soon
after that by Fowler. Admiral Re
mey's dispatch is rs follows;
.'Bureau of Navigation, Washington
Just received telegram from Tien
Tsin dated 10th, 10 p. IN. 'Pekin was
captured on August 10. Foreign lega-
tions are safe. Details follow shortly.
(Signedl "REMEi'
That from Consul Fowler giving
important details of the occurrences at
the time of the capture of the city, was
given out in the subjoined official
statement:
Secretary of State, Washington
Japanese Admiral reports allies at
tackled Pekin, east 18th. Obstinate
resistance Evening Japanese entered
capital with other forces, Immediate
ly surrounded legations. Inmates
safe, japanese loss over 100. Chinese
300. (Signed) "fOWLER.
Previous information which has been
received here showed that the allied
armies took possession of Tung Chow
GA the 12th instant. From that city
to Pekin the distance is not very great,
not more than dozen miles. 1t seems
evident, therefore, that the armies
halted for time at Tung Chow, proba-
bly, for the purpose of giving the men
q rest and preparing for the attack
upon the capital city in force after
waiting until the rear of the advan-
cling hosts should arrive at the front.

Kansas Great wheat Crops.

Topeka, Aug. 2O.-The Kansas wheat

Recruits From Kansas And Oklahoma.


Topeka, Aug. 1s.-A party of thirty
recruits for the United States army
were started on their way to San Fran
cisco in a special car over the Santa
Fe road. The men were secured in
Oklahoma and western Kansas, and
will probably see service in the present
Chinese war. Recruiting officers have
been securing this portion of the
country for new men, and have been
very successful in their efforts. As a
general rule the men secured in Kan
sas and adjacent states have proven to
be above the average of the men
usually found anxious to go into the

so improbable, find that most OF the
companies do my insurance with an
nually increase their assets until some
OF them today are nearly double what
they were few years ago, and can
not reconcile this with the business
being conducted on so small profit?
Now as to the valued policy law.
Why do companies object to it? Why
should they not pay in the event o.
a total loss the amount they have In
sured and collected premium for? Why
do they, to commence with, grant moro
insurance than the property is worth?
When men in other business make
bad bargain they have to stand 1t, and
why not an insurance company?
What is the meaning of the anti
