tanned nothing by brown paper. The

ut Kansas, west of the three eastermost
tiers of counties, is experiencing one
of the most severe droughts in the his
tory of the state, and the general opin-
ion is that the Kansas corn crop will
be the smallest in proportion to its re-
quirements for feeding, that has been
raised in many years. In 1899 there
was 100000 bushels. Secretary
Coburn's report of conditions in Au.
gust indicated yield this year OF
about 145,000,000 bushels. Since
then there have been two weeks of hot,
dry weather, which has further materi-
ally reduced conditions, and the most
liberal estimates OF well-informed men
on change do not exceed 10.000,00
bushels, while many place the crop at
not over $4,000, 900 bushels. The plow.
ing for winter wheat Is delayed by the

covered by the watchman, and the
woodwork between the boilers and the
grinding room was ablaze. The plant
was thoroughly equipped with an au-
tomato sprinkler, but owing to the
steam in the boilers being SO low it

REPORT OF CHAFFEE.
Admiral Remey Also Sends
Information.
SMALL AMERICAN LOSS AT PEKIN
Uncle Sans Troops Entered the Lega.
tion Grounds on the Evening
of the 14th.

Washington, August 21.-From Gen.
eral Chaffee today the war department.
received official confirmation of the fall
OF Pek1n and the rescue of the besieged
legationers. The dispatch of the
American commander was not long,
and contained but few details, but the
unconcealed satisfaction with which it
was received by officials of the admin
istration indicated clearly the anxiety
that had been engendered by his pro-
longed silence. His last communica-
tion to the government prior to the re-
ceipt of today's advices was dated Aug
ust IL, at Ma Tou, almost 80 miles from
Pekin. The explanation of his silence
is suggested in advices received by the
navy department. today from Admiral
Remey, who, telegraphing from Taku
on the 18th, says the telegraph line be-
tween that point and Pekin is in
terrupted. ......-
The cablegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information
not mentioned by General Chaffee.
He makes the startling statement, on
Japanese authority, that the inner city
of Pekin was being bombarded by the
allied forces. Admiral Remey says
also that the dowager empress is de.
tanned in the inner city by Prince Yum
gedo. Advices received last night
from the foreign Office at Toxic, Japan,
by the Japanese legation in this city
confirms and amplifies previous ac-
counts of the capture of Pekin by the
allied troops.
Following is the text of the dispatch
from General Chaffee, as made public
by the war department:
''Che Foo, August 21, Pekin. Au-
gust 1--we entered legation grounds
at O'Clock last night with Fourteenth
and light battery. Eight wounded
during days fighting. Otherwise all
we'll. CHAFFEE."
The dispatch, which was received
during the morning, was transmitted
imm ediately to the president at the
white house. He expressed his gratifi-
cation at the news it contained, par
ticularly at the small loss sustained by
the American troops.
1t will be noted that the dispatch
indicates that the American troops en-
tered the legation grounds at O'CLOCK
on the evening of the 14th inst. By
the Washington officials and by several
legation officials to whom it was shown
the date OF General Chaffee's commu-
nication is regarded as an error of
transmission. 1t is believed that the
date "15" should be ''16." All prev
ious advices, official and unofficial,
no no indicated that tho LOGO tiOps wora
