In speaking of the smallpox Mr.. Hale
said: There is still some smallpox

that tenders would he invited almost inn
mediately for the beginning of the work.
Discussing imperial defense, Lord Sell
borne remarked that the whirligg of
time had strangely inverted the feeling in
relation thereto. A century and quar-
ter ago this question of imperial defense
was the root of a quarrel with the Amer
lean colonies. which finally lost them to
Great Britain. Today the same ques-
tion, he said. is operating more than any
other in drawing the different parts of the
empire together. The colonies. he added,
now voluntarily admitted what America
had disputed-namely, that colonies ought
to contribute to their own defense

MINISTERS LOCATED.

Near Tien-tsin.
LONDON, June ga dispatch from
the Geman consul at Chefu received in
Berlin announces that the relief column
entered Tien-tsin during the afternoon of
June % and started again June "a to
rescue Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with
the foreign ministers, was said to be oc-
cupying position 121a miles from Tien-
tsin, where he was surrounded and hard
pressed by great force of Boxers and
Chinese regulars.
According to the report of Chinaman
refugee who has arrived at Shanghai, the
condition of Tien-tsin is horrible. Every
where in the streets are the bodies OF
massacred men and women, Americans
as well as all other nationalities. The
Hongkong and German banks, he adds,
were both destroyed early during the
bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the Ameri-
co-Russian relief force was so badly am
buscaded that the forces were obliged to
abandon several field guns and much am
munition. About 1S0 Russians and IL
Americans were killed or wounded.

Christians. The missionary hospitals are

ants.

that Ii Hung Chang will not go to
Peking, he continues his preparations for
departure.
A telegram from the governor of Kiao-
Chou, dated June 25, which has reached
Berlin. announces that, according to re-
ports from Chinese sources, Vice Admiral
Seymour's force has reached Picking.
This is probably merely a reiteration Of
the previous reports on the same subject.

LONDON, June 26.--As Lord Roberts
apparently is carrying out important
combined operations, the slackness of
news from South Africa will probably
continue until they are completed. The
fact that the foreign military attaches

their opinion the war is over. But the

troops for service in China seems. If

ATLANTA, June 26.-Reports receiv-
ed here from many points in Georgia and
portions of Alabama and South Carolina
show that the recent heavy rains inun-
dated a vast territory and caused enor-
nous damage to bridges and farming
property. Crops. including Gotten, corn
and especially fruit which was nearing
maturity when the wet season hsgan,
have been greatly injured and caused a
loss of a vast amount to the farmers Of
the southern states. The rainfall has
been unprecedented. All the streams are
out Of their banks and carrying away
bridges and ferries in large numbers. The
substructure of the handsome new bridge
over the Ocmulgee river at Macon was
