BOXERS ARE DISPERSING
Those Surrounding the Legations at
Peking Are Moving Away—Further
Details of the Recent Bombardment
of the City of Tien Tsln.
London, July 11.—It has been learned
that the British government is making
arrangements to send 100,000 troops to
China in the autumn.
Paris, July 11. —At a cabinet council
the minister of foreign affairs, M. Del
case, read a telegram from Tokio con
firming the news that Japan will send
immediately to Taku a complete divi
sion of 19,000 men.
A dispatch from Che Foo, dated July
7, says the orphanage at Shan Tung has
been pillaged.
The Chinese minister here has in
formed M. Delcase that Li Hung Chang
cabled him from Canton that he had
just received a telegram from Peking
asserting that the soldiers and rebels
who surrounded the legations had grad
ually dispersed.
Bombardment of Tien Tsin.
Berlin, July 11. —The German consul
at Tien Tsin cables that the foreign set
ments were continually bombarded by
the Chinese from July sto July 8. On
July 6, 2,000 Boxers attacked the French
settlement and were routed by the Rus
sians.
The British and Japanese forces, July
7, bombarded the Chinese batteries. To
ward evening Chinese shells penetrated
the roof of the German consulate and
caused an outbreak of fire, which was
extinguished with but little damage.
On July 6 the Peo Peng sailed for
Taku with the German wounded.
River communication with Tien Tsin
and Taku has been safe since the Chi
nese fort midway between the two towns
was captused.
The railroad from Tong Ju has been
repaired to within 3 miles of Tien Tsin.
Nearly all the families of foreigners
left Tien Tsin July 4.
American Troops Land.
Washington, July 11.—The following
cablegram has been received from Ad
miral Remey at Che Foo:
“Arrived yesterday. Two battalions
Ninth infantry and one battalion ma
rines, Colonel Meade, landed to proceed
to Tien Tsin. Allied forces at Tien Tsin
engaged in maintaining their defenses.
Ordered Solace here to take sick and
wounded to Yokohama hospitals. Ore
gon will proceed soon to dock at Kure,
towed by chartered steamer and con
veyed by Nashville. Just learned from
Admiral Seymour at Tien Tsin that the
foreigners there are hard pressed.”
ODELL MAKESJK STATEMENT
Alleged Plot to Assassinate President
McKinley Is Ridiculed.
Newburgh, N. Y., July 11. —Chair-
man B. B. Odell of the Republican com
mittee said concerning the alleged plot
to assassinate President McKinley:
‘ ‘I have read the account in a New York
paper with reference to an alleged plot
to assassinate the president and also as
to the part which I am supposed to have
taken in the matter. I have nothing to
say upon the subject except that I have
made an investigation which I started
with the state committee detective on
the line of what I supposed to be politi
cal information and I discovered either
a crank or a ifiron Munchausen, and on
the principle that an ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure, it is prob
able that my report to Secretary Dick is
the cause for the extra care now being
taken of the president. I have nothing
further to say on this subject except that
I regret that some one has been indis
creet enough to make of a trifling matter
the gigantic plot published in the papers.
Hanna Says Story Is False.
Cleveland, July 11.—Senator Hanna,
referring to the report that a plot to as
sassinate President McKinley had been
discovered in New York, emphatically
declared that the story was false.
Will Pool Business.'
Chicago, July 11. The general
freight agents of the leading western
roads have formed an arrangement for
the pooling of business. Joint agencies

Omaha and St. Paul. A joint agent will
be placed in charge of the traffic at each
of these cities.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
FAST TRAIN HELD UP
Occurred Near Wikcliff at
an Early Hour.
SECURED ABOUT SIO,OOO
Posse In Pursuit With Bloodhounds
On the Bandits’ Trail Fireman
Knocked Down and Badly Wounded.
None of the Passengers Molested.
Paducah, Ky., July 11.—The Illinois
Central fast train from New Orleans to
Chicago was held up and robbed this
morning at 1:10 o’clock, 2 miles south of
Wickliffe, Ky. The train was flagged
and when it stopped the bandits entered
the cab. The fireman, J. J. Fryisch,
was knocked in the head with the but
of a revolver and badly hurt.
The robbers, six in number, cut off
the engine and express car and ran
1% miles to Fort Jefferson, near
the Ohio river, and within sight of the
Missouri shore. Here they blew the ex
press safe and secured all the valuables
it contained. They left the engine and
looted car and crossed into Missouri.
They dropped one package containing
S7OO on the Kentucky side and another
package on the Missouri side, both of
which were recovered this morning.
TLj robbers overpowered the express
men and made them get off the train,
but did not molest others on the train,
which carried a large load of passengers.
A special train with bloodhounds and
an armed posse has loft division head
quarters at Jackson, Tenn., for the
scene and it is understood Missouri offi
cers are hot on the robbers’ trail.
About SIO,OOO was secured in addition
to money dropped by the robbers. The
robbers left some of their tools, a rifle
and four pistols, in their flight.
RUN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
Train With $3,000,000 on Board
Wrecked Near Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 11. —According
to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad a deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express bearing $3,000,-
000 to the subtreasury in New York
came near being successful at Folsom, a
short distance outside of this city. The
train consisted of two sleepers, two day
coaches and three baggage cars and left
Washington at 11:30 o’clock last night.
It was due here at 3:10 o’clock this
morning.
While going at a good rate of speed,
it ran into an open switch at Folsom.
The engine was overturned and three
baggage cars were derailed, but no one
was injured.
An examination of the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that the
switch had been tampered with, for the
apparent purpose of wrecking the train.
Whether it was done with the intention
of wrecking the express bearing the cur
rency could only be conjectured. The
railroad officials have placed detectives
on the case and have offered a reward
of SSOO for the arrest and conviction of
those tampering with the switch.
WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR
His Social Career In London Brought
to an Abrubt Close.
London, July 11.—William Waldorf
Astor’s sudden departure for Germany
at the very height of the season, the can
celling of all his engagements here and
the recall of the invitations which he
had issued for house parties on next
Sunday and on next Sunday week, at
Cliveden, are regarded as signalizing
the closing of his social career in Lon
don.
It is openly declared here that the
Prince of Wales, who is the supreme
arbiter of English society, has cut him
in consequence of his insulting treat
ment of Sir Archibald Milne last woek
and London is only too ready to take its
cue in the matter from its future king,
as Mr. Astor, in spite of his wealth and
the magnificence of his entertainments,
has made many enemies by his numer
ous idiosyncrasies and by his extraordin
ary arrogance.
. DELEGATES ARE ARRIVING.
Tenth International Convention of B.
Y. P. U. to Meet at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, July 11.—Preparatory to
the opening of the tenth international
convention of the Baptist Young Peo
ple’s union, the local committees, with
the help of citizens, have everything in
readiness for the reception of the hosts
of delegates expected. Some of them
have already arrived.
A strictly executive session of the ex
ecutive committee and the board of man
agers was held at the Grand hotel here.
The various reports to be presented to
the convention were submitted and con
sidered and plans for the ensuing year
discussed.
FISHED OUT OF THE CREEK.
Valuable Relic Recovered While Drag
ging For a Body.
Courtland, Ala., July 11.—The old
flint-lock musket which was fished out
of Bib Nance creek several days ago
while dragging for the body of Mrs. W.
C. Swoope has been identified by an old
citizen as one of the guns issued to
troops stationed in this section in 1830.
These guns were of this same pattern
and were never taken in by the govern
ment.
The entire stock and woodwork which
extends to the end of the barrel are pet
rified. The barrel is bent as if it had
been struck against a tree purposely.
The relic is a valaed one and elicits con
siderable interest.
Colombian Revolution. ~
Guayaquil, Ecuador, July 11.—The
Colombian revolutionists under Gen
erals Juan B. Gonzales and Simon
Chaux have captured the city of Po
payan, capital of the department of
Caucaus. On the march to Popayan the
revolutionists took all the cities near the
Ecuador center.
Three More Bodies Recovered.
New York, July 11.—Three more
dead bodies have been recovered from
the hull of the burned steamship Saale,
making 36 found on that vessel. The
three bodies were nude and were so dis
figured by burns and decomposition that
identification was impossible.
FOREIGNERS ARE
HELD RESPONSIBLE
Empress Blames Them For
Gravity of Situation.
LONDON IS PESSIMISTIC
It Is Believed Chinese Officials Are
Only Preparing For Alibis When the
Troops Reveal the Peking Horror.
No Hope Entertained.
Washington, July 11.—Wu Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, came to the
state department in person and deliver
ed to Secretary Hay a copy of a cable
gram received by him purporting to be
from the Chinese imperial government,
believed to have originated at the Chi
nese war department, disclaiming re
sponsibility on the part of the imperial
government for the Boxer troubles, and
asserting that the engagement at Tien
Tsin was the direct result of the bom
bardment of the Taku forts by the for
eigners.
Shanghai, July 11.—An edict of the
empress dowager, promulgated on June
30, has just been published in Shanghai.
Her majesty expresses sorrow for the
death of Baron Von Ketteler, the Ger
man minister, who, she says, went to
the tsung li yamen on the day of his
death against her wishes.
Her majesty expresses regret that the
capture of the Taku forts should have
complicated matters, but orders that the
Boxers be suppressed and the foreign
legations in Peking protected. The
whole line of the edict is to hold the for
eigners blamable for the gravity of the
■ crisis.
Two hundred and fifty white refugees
from Tien Tsin have arrived in Shang
hai.
PREPARED FOR THE WOSRT.
British Officials Believe the Ministers
Have Been Slain.
London, July 11.—Although Shanghai
repeats the statement that both the em
peror and dowager empress are alive
and telegrams from Chinese officialdom
again testify to the safety of the lega
tions, these assertions no longer stimu
l ite hope here and pessimism will pre
vail as long as the authorities, who, on
their own showing, are able to get mes
sages to the coast, fail to send confirma
tion of the safety of the foreigners from
some member of a legation at Peking.
London sees in the disappearance and
reappearance of prominent people at
Peking and the efforts apparently mak
ing to shift the blame from one to the
other and in the attempts to represent
themselves as victims instead of princi
pals in the recent occurrences, only pre
parations for alibis and excuses in view
of the approach of the troops of the pow
ers and the tragedy they may discover
on reaching the Chinese capital.
According to a report from Shanghai
the fighting at Tien Tsin July 6 was the
heaviest which has yet occurred, the
Russians alone burying 200 men. The
allies are becoming exhausted by con
stant fighting.
A dispatch from Canton says Li Hung
Chang is keeping excellent order there.
Robbers and pirates are executed pub
licly and frequently, and the people are
cowed and airaid to disturb the peace.
Foreigners In No Danger.
Berlin, July 11. —The German con
sul at Che Foo telegraphs that the gov
ernor of Shan Tung announces that ac
cording to reports on July 4 the foreign
ministers at Peking were out of danger,
and the revolt was decreasing.
Appointed Minister to China.
Berlin, July 11.—Dr. Mumm Von
Schwarzenstein, the envoy extraordi
nary of Germany to the Grand Duchy
of Luxemburg, has been appointed Ger
man minister to China in succession to
the late Baron Von Ketteler.
FORTY DEATHS REPORTED.
Mysterious and Fatal Disease Appears
In Louisiana.
New Orleans, July 11.—President
Souchon, of the state board of health,
has received a telegram from the parish
board of health for Caldwell parish,
urging that an expert, a quantity of
tents, disinfectants and sanitary inspec
tors be sent to that place at once, as a
mysterious plague had broken out there
which was fatal in every instance. The
telegram states that fully 40 people,
mostly negroes, had already succumbed
to the disease. President Souchon has
sent Dr. Beard, the state expert, to the
seat of the plague with the necessary
supplies. It is believed that the epi
demic is a very malignant form of small
pox.
Work On the New Battleships.
Washington, July 11.—According to
a statement issued by the bureau of con
struction and repair, navy department,
the new battleships—Alabama, building
at the Cramp yards, and Wisconsin, at
the Union Iron works, San Francisco—
are 97 per cent and 93 per cent complet
ed respectively. The Illinois is 84 per
cent completed and the Maine 30 per
cent, the Ohio 20 per cent and the Mis
souri but 6 per cent.
Doscher Has Withdrawn.
New York, July 11.—Wall street is
interested in a report that Claus Doscher
has withdrawn from the National Sugar
Refining company, New Jersey, where
he has been a director and large stock
holder and has retired permanently from
the sugar business. The report ia
thought to be true, although Mr. Doscher
could not be found when an effort was
made to secure a confirmation from him.
Shag Rock Removed.
San Francisco, July 11.—The work
of removing Shag rock, which has been
a menace to shipping in this harbor, is
completed. The work of removing the
arch rock, which obstructs the channel
near Alcatraz, has commenced.
Two New Cotton Mills.

mill, capital stock $250,000. A charter
was also granted the Woodruff cotton
mill, capitalized at S2SO t OQQ»

SECOND SESSION OF
NATIONJSEDOCATORS
Disappointment Over Small
Attendance at Charleston.
THE THEME OF DISCUSSION
“Contributions of Religious Organiza
tions to the Cause of Education”
Was the General Topic—Detroit the
Favorite For the Next Convention.
Charleston, July 11.—“ The Contri
butions of Religious Organizations to the
Cause of Education” was the general
topic at the morning session of the Na
tional Educational association. Arrivals
last night and this morning have in
creased the attendance to nearly 8,000.
President Corson presided. He an
nounced that, owing to the serious ill
ness of his wife, Rev. H. M. Dubose,
general secretary of the Epworth league,
who was to speak for the Methodist
church, had been compelled to return to
Nashville.
President Oscar H. Cooper of Baylor
university, Waco, Tex., spoke interest
ingly of the part taken by the Baptist
church in the cause of general education,
and Dr. Conde B. Pallen of St. Louis
told of the work of the Catholic church
and its constant campaigns of education
in all countries.
At the close of the morning session,
the president announced the nominat
ing committee, composed of one mem
ber from each state represented. This
body will meet and nominate a ticket
for the coming year, which will be an
nounced the last day of the convention.
The contest for the next convention
city shows Detroit slightly in the lead.
The Michigan delegates claim to have
the support of all the northern and east
ern states. Cincinnati’s campaign has
not been permitted to lag.
, Considerable disappointment is ex
pressed over the small attendance here.
Preparations were made for the recep
tion and entertainment of many thous
ands, but thus far, they have not ap
peared. Some of the delegates claim
the convention city is too far south to
be reached by the travelers of the far
north and west, while nearly all of those
states sent enormous delegations to Los
Angeles one year ago. It is believed
the California convention will hold the
attendance record for years to come and
as a financial venture it was a success,
the association realizing nearly [sß,ooo.
The educators, it is said, will lose $3,000
on the Charleston gathering, principally
on account of the small attendance.
There were no sessions of the depart
mental organizations until late this af
ternoon.
WHITE HAS NO OPPOSITION.
Bitter Contest Over Place on the Re
publican State Ticket.
Charleston, W. Va., July 11.—The
Republican state convention here is the
most largely attended of any in the his
tory of the party in this state. Besides
the nomination of a state ticket, it is
made the occasion for the opening of the
presidential campaign and the canvass
of Hon. Stephen B. Elkins as senator.
While the Republicans carried the
state four years ago, the plurality was
close and the margin in the legislature
was so slight as to be in dispute. Every
thing is at stake between the parties this
year, including the presidential vote,
full state ticket and control of the legis
lature which elects a United States sen
ator, but the chief contention here this
week is over the state offices.
While there is no opposition to Elkins
for senator or A. B. White for governor
the contests for other places on the state
ticket are in marked contrast to these
two cases. There are many candidates
for each place. The contests for minor
places have become bitter.
Will Be Extended to Macon.
Macon, July 11.—It is contemplated
that Macon shall have a new railroad.
The Waycross Air Line company has
filed a first mortgage in Bib superior
court. It is proposed that the road shall
be from Brunswick to Macon via Way
cross. Forty miles of the track has al
ready been laid and work is progressing
rapidly. John E. Wadlev, son of the
late William Wadley or the Central
railroad, is president of the Waycross
road.
No Change of Plans.
Washington, July 11.—It was stated
at the White House that no word had
been received there to the effect that
President McKinley will return to Wash
ington Saturday. As far as the officials
at the executive mansion know there
has been no change in the president's
original plans.
Will Put Out State Tickets.
Lincoln, Neb., July 11.—Three fusion
state conventions, the Populists, Demo
cratic and Silver Republican, are in ses
sion here to nominate full state tickets.
Sail For England.
Oape Town, July 11.— The Duke oi
Marlborough, the Duke of Norfolk, Lady
Sarah Wilson and Dr. Conan Doyle
have sailed for England.
