turning the Chinese left and driving
the enemy from their strong position
among the irrigation trenches. The
Chinese retired to the native city and
the allied infantry then withdrew and
the affair became an artillery duel,
lasting until darkness, with little dam
age to either side.
According to the Shanghai corre-
epondent of The Express, it is war to
the knife between the dowager EN-
press and Prince Tuan. In a recent
edict the latter boldly discards his
mask and signs himself as emperor.
He warmly commends the prowess of
"his faithful Boxers" and in flowery
language appeals to their cupidity and
fanaticism. In the same decree Prince
Tuan appoints Prince Tsuan, the "iron
capped" Prince Tsaishan, his imperial
clansman, and Kang vi to command
the three chief wings Of the Boxer
army.
Three hundred European refugees
from Tien Tsin have arrived at Shang-
hal in a state of destitution, after ter
rible suffering.
The Chinese version Of the origin
of the outbreak, as published IN Shang-
hal. is that Baron Won Ketteler was
hated by the Pekinese, who, taking ad-
vantage of the disturbed condition OF
sffairs, shot him out of revenge. there
by causing a conflict between the Chi
nese troops and the Germans, the lat
ter of whom destroyed the tsung-li-
yamen. The infuriated soldiers under
Prince Tuan then gained complete
control over the dowager empress.

London, July 11.-NO authentic news
from Pellin" is still the burden OF the
dispatches from the far east, and, al
though the disposition is to believe
the optimistic reports from Chinese
sources, no real confidence is possible
until the legations, if they are still in
existence, are permitted to communi-
cate with their governments. If, as is
alleged, the Boxer movement is losing
ground in Pekin, it might have been
supposed that the Boxers would have
endeavored TO send up reinforcements
from Tien Tsin, but instead Of that
they are still in great force in the
neighborhood of the latter place, and
are assisted by the imperial Chinese
troops, with ample efficient artillery.

with over 100 guns The defenders
numbered 14,000, with scant supplies,

QUEER FAMILIES OF THE fILIPIN0S
A Child Is Chinese if Boy and Filipino
if a Girl.

There are many Chinese boys run
ming about the streets of Manila with
spr0uting queues dangling down their
brown backs. But there are no little
Chinese girls. The reason Of all this
is that whena Chinaman marries he
weds Filipino woman. When a
child is born it all depends on it's sex
as to whether it is to be Chinese or
Filipino.
In other words, when boy comes to
make happy the home of his parents
in their nipa hut there is great joy
on the part of his father-for that boy
is to be Chinaman and grow up in
the belief of his father, who will train
him in all the lore of the Joss and tell
the legend of the pearl and the drag
on. His head is shaven, and the locks
of his hair which go to the makeup OF
the uueue is nurtured and cared for.
When a weeney bit Of a girl comes
cooling into the home of this pair there
is much happiness in the heart of the
mother The girl is brought up in the
faith of the mother Her feet are per
mitted to grow, and the only thing she
is REQUIRED to do with them is to rur
errands and master the art Of wearing
heelless slippers. She is taken tt
church and baptized, and she must
learn her catechism by heart.-ChlCa

it and letting loose a reservoir of water
thirty miles long, half mile wide and
sixty feet deep, to aid in carrying des-

The widow Sigalard's goat has St.
Vitus' dance. but the widow doesn't
mind that, although II she lost the goat
one OF her slender holds on life would
be gone. A while ago the widow was
gathering salad green's in the fields
near the village of Chez-Tablot, in the
French commune Of St. Cloud. where
she lives. The goat, which is fine,
large animal. was grazing not far OH,
when a wolf sprang at 1t, and in some
peculiar manner was caught between
the goats horns and could move Meth
er one way nor the other. Both ami
mails tried to pull away from each 9TH
er, but in vain. The widow called a
neighbor, who held the VOLTS hind
quarters, while the widow stabbed 1t
in the side until it was dead. Now,
although the goat has St. Vitus' dance
since the exploit, the widow doesn't
care much. for she received bounty
of 100 francs for killing wolf.
