NITRAL’B NEK DISASTER
That With the Situation in China
Causes the Gravest Apprehension.
Astor-Milne Affair—Lady -Randolph
Churchill’s Approaching Wedding.
London, July 14.—The most brilliant
garden party of Queen Victoria’s reign
has proved quite ineffectual to dispel
the anxiety and gloom hanging over
Great Britain, the escape from Kum
massie of Sir Frederick Mitchell Hodg
son, the governor of the Gold Coast col
ony, and his wife and party and the
safety of the majority of those who so
long were in danger of massacre at the
hands of the Ashantis created a mo
mentary feeling of thankfulness and
jubilation. But this was quickly dis
pelled by the news of the disaster at
Nitral’s Nek and the gravity of the
news from China. The week that opened
with high hopes from all quarters of the
globe where Great Britain’s interests
are imperilled ends with none of these
hopes realized, except as regards
Ashanti, and even there an English gar
rison still awaits relief. In South Africa
the nation was prepared for, though it
did not really anticipate guerrilla war
fare. But repeated disasters of such
magnitude as that of Nitral’s Nek create
dismay.
Astor-Milne Affair.
Apart from the garden party, the talk
of the week in society has been the
Astor-Milne affair. Mr. Astor’s depart
ure for Marienbad created no end of
quibs and comments, but there seems no
reason to believe it was in any way due
to this circumstance.
Mr. Astor’s last dinner party in Lon
don was attended by 40 people, but the
host was unable to appear owing to an
attack of sciata.
The Prince of Wales will be the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. William George Caven
dish Betinyok, at High Cliff castle, at
the end of this week. Mrs. Betinyck
was lormerly Miss Elizabeth Livingston,
of Statesburg, N.Y.
Mr. Foxhall Keene’s reappearance in
the ranks of gentlemen riders has crea
ted interest in England.
The departure of the American hos
pital ship Maine for China meets with
warm approval, both from official aud
unofficial England. The way this de
cision was arrived at is a happy illustra
tion of the energy of the American la
dies on the committee. The matter was
only proposed Saturday last aud between
that and Wednesday everything was
settled and the ship was refitted and
sailed. The Maine will take care of
Americans and British only.
Lady Randolph Churchill’s Wedding.
The difficulties which stood in the
way of Lady Randolph Churchill’s wed
ding now seem to have been overcome
and the event is fixed for July 28. It
will be attended by the Cornwallis-West
family and Winston Churchill, who has
started from South Africa for England.
The affair will be quiet. The wedding
breakfast will be served at the Moreton
Frewes residence.
With the wedding over, the departure
of the Maine for China, the appearance
of Volume V of The Anglo-Saxon Re
view, and her garden party at Normal
College for the Blind Thursday, Lady
Randolph Churchill was very much to
the fore this week.
The London Trades council has
adopted a resolution formally repudi
ating the convention of English speak
ing democracies called by the council of
Ruskin in the interests of which the la
bor delegats are now in the United
States.
The coming of hot weather is not
welcomed by Londoners and a general
exodus is beginning. It is feared that
another spell like that of last year is im
pending. Until the beginning of this
week London’s death rate, thanks to the
cool weather, was the lowest in seven
years—only 18.5 in 1,000.
The feature of the week among the
theaters was the production of "The
Casino Girl” at the Shaftesbury theater.
The musical event of the week was the
first production in England of Puccin
ni’s "LaTosca” at Covent Garden,
Thursday, in the presence of the Prince
aud Princess of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of York and most of fashion
able London.
On Bo srd the Cunard Liner.
London, July 14.—0 n board the Ou
nard line steamer which sailed from
Liverpool today are Walter C. Hillyer,
who has been appointed adviser to the
military authorities in China, FoxhaU
Keane and the Rev. Morgan Dix.
Twenty-Eight Clubs Entered.
Niagara Falls, July 14.—Twenty
eight clubs are participating in the con
test for the Minor Hollis trophy in the
games of the American Whist League,
the eight clubs having the highest score
to play the grand final.

Consul Goodenow’s Dispatch
Reveals Startling Devel
opments In China.
ARMY OFFICERS ACTIVE
General Mlles Confers With Minister
Wu—Major Gallagher Ordered to
Taku —Ho Nan’s Attitude Causes
Grave Apprehension In Official Cir
cles—How Situation Is Viewed.
Washington, July 14.—Lieutenant
General Miles was an early caller at the
Chinese legation and had a long confer
ence with Minister Wu, presumably
concerning the military situation in
China.
It was stated by those in a position to
be thoroughly informed on General
Miles’ plans that the call on Ministei
Wu was entirely devoid of official sig
nificance and that General Miles has no
present purpose of going to China.
San Francisco, July 14.—Major Hugh
Gailagher, chief commissary of subsist
ence of the department of California,
has received telegraphic orders from
Washington, directing him to proceed
to Taku, China.
Washington, July 14.—The Chinese
minister has sent a cable dispatch to the
teotai of Shan Tung, telling him thal
the American government is exceedingly
anxious as to the fate of Minister Con
ger, and requesting him to cable any in
formation he may have on that point.
Washington, July 14.—The Japanese
legation here has received a dispatch
from the minister of foreign affaire
stating that after the German ministex
was shot at Peking the German marines
made an assault upon the tsung li yarnen
and burned down the building. The
dispatch goes into the affair m detail.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
Consul Goodenow’s Dispatch Show!
Conditions Are Growing Worse.
Washington, July 14.—Consul Gen
eral Goodenow’s short dispatch repre
sents all that the state or navy depart
ments know of the developments in
China within the last 24 hours. Hil
news only goes to confirm the general
belief that the situation in China ii
steadily growing worse. The Ho Nan
Shan Shi referred to by Mr. Goodenow
as the place where the viceroy appears
to favor the Boxers, is said at the state
department to be actually two separata
provinces of vast extent lying in the
western and northern portion of China.
Shan Shi, meaning western island, is
the province lying directly west of Chili,
in which Peking is located. Ho Nan
adjoins Shan Shi on the south.
The two might present an almost im-
Sassible barrier if, as Mr. Goodenow’s
ispatch indicates, they are disaffected
and undertake to oppose the northward
march of the armies of Li Hung Chang
and the other great southern viceroys tc
Peking.
No confirmation has reached the stat«
department of the report from St. Pe
tersburg of the torture and death of the
Russian minister at Peking. Dr. Von
Holleben, the German ambassador,
called upon Secretary Hay, but stated
that he had no information touching the
Chinese situation.
A rumor was afloat during the morn
ing to the effect that certain interviews
attributed to the Chinese minister here,
Mr. Wu, had attracted official attention
and might be made the subject of rep
resentations to him by the state depart
ment. It is understood that nothing
has yet been done in that direction,
however, and it is believed that the in
terviews may be ignored officially in
view of the realization on the part of the
official that the minister is under high
nervous tension.
Minister Wu Depressed.
Washington, July 14.—The Chinese
minister continues to use his efforts to
ward getting information from Peking,
but up to a late hour he had not received
any answer in connection with the ca
blegram to Minister Conger or from any
inquiry which he forwarded.
Minister Wu was much depressed by
continued reports that the legations had
been wiped out and the ministers mur
dered. The report of the killing of the
Russian minister and his wife was an
other tevete blow, hut as to this, also,
Minister Wu said that he had absolutely
nothing.
To Aid the Boxers.
Phenix, A. T., July 14.—Lung Kogh,
a Chinese from San Francisco, has been
in Phenix for several days in the inter
est of the Po Wong Woey, or Chinese
reform party. He asserts there are 140,-
000 members scattered throughout ths
country and that $20,000,000 has been
subscribed and sent to China to aid in
the expulsion of the powers and effect a
settlement of internal disturbances.
Charged Witn narceny.
Savannah, July 14.—John B. Bulcken,
secretary of Concord Lodge No. 17, In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, has
been arrested on a charge of larceny. It
is alleged that Bulcken collected $560 as
dues from the members of Concord
lodge and failed to turn the money over
to the proper parties.
Taxes Must Be Paid.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 14.—Gov
ernor Johnson of the Chickasaw nation
has ruled that tribal taxes must be paid.
It is learned here that there may be
wholesale ejectments if the taxes are
not paid.
Death of Colonel Beaumont.
Denver, July 14.—Oolofiel Samuel
Beaumont, aged 70 years, for a number
of years connected with the freight de
partment of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad, is dead, from gastritis.
GOVERNMENT TO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE
China Must Answer For the
Lives of the Ministers.
MR. GOODENOW’S MESSAGE
It Shows That Attack Ou the Lega
tions Was Led By Imperial Troops.
Allies at Tien Tsin Fortify Their Po
sition-Communication Restored.
London, July 14.—The British consul
general at Shan Tung says he fears there
can be little doubt in regard to the fate
of the foreigners at Peking.
St. Petersburg, July 14.—A dispatch
Khabarousk, dated Thursday, July 13,
says an internation council of war, held
at Tien Tsin, has decided for the present
to confine the efforts of the allied forces
to fortifying Tien Tsin and making safe
communication with Taku forts and
arsenals.
Tien Tsin, it is added, is being re
armed with guns of the highest class.
London, July 14.—Although hope still
struggles against the conclusion that the
silence at Peking is the silence of the
grave, the official admissions in both the
United States and Europe that the dip
lomatists have adopted the pessimistic
views held by the consuls at Shanghai
have almost silenced those attempting
to reason against the circumstantial
evidence which is becoming so cogent.
The Chinese assurances ana edicts ap
pear to observers here to be merely part
of a plan to cautiously break the news
of the tragedy and delude the foreigners
with a tale of imperial guiltlessness.
But’if the bombardment mentioned in
United States Consul Goodenow’s last
message occurred it must have been car
ried out by the Chinese regulars, so the
plan of imperial defense of the legations
seems to fall to the ground.
The situation at Tien Tsin appears to
be slowly but surely growing worse.
The allied forces are experiencing the
greatest difficulty in sending forward
reinforcements, as the Chinese have
rendered navigation of the river most
difficult by diverting its waters.
Happily Sc. Petersburg announces offi
cially that the telegraph between Taku
and Tien Tsin has been restored and
that railroad communication will shortly
be re-established. To the other trials of
the besieged persons at Tien Tsin has
been added an outbreak of scarlet fever.
Dispatches from Tien Tsin report that
a number of ladies there have become
white haired through the horrors of the
siege.
Ho Nan Favorable to the Boxers.
Washington, July 14.—Secretary Hay
has received an undated dispatch from
Consul General Goodenow at Shanghai,
' stating that thejjgovernor of Ho Nan Shi
Shan has issued a proclamation favor
' able in its terms to the Boxers. Ho Nan
I Shi Shan is ’the province Iving imnie
i diately northwest of Shanghai and be
i tween that city and Peking.
I Li Hung Chang Summoned.
Hong Kong, July 14.—Li Hung Chang
has received an urgent telegraphic sum
mons to Peking. It is reported that he
I will proceed north at once. The Chinese
I agree that hie absence is certain to lead
I to trouble at Canton.

ments in the Portland at 4:28 o’clock of

SCHUMPERT SHOE CO.
TENNESSEE MINERS TO MEET
Convention Will Bo Held at Coal
Creek—To Ask au Advance.
Knoxville, July 14.—T. J. Smith,
president of division No. 19, United
Mine Workers of America, has issued a
call for a meeting at Coal Creek July 26.
He wants all the operators in the East
Tennessee coal fields to meet there to
confer with the coal miners’ representa
tives relative to a contract to date from
Sept. I.
It is stated that all the operators will
not attend the meeting, but those who
do not attend will be waited upon by
committees. A demand for an increase
of 15 cents per ton is anticipa.ted. No
trouble is feared, though a strike may
be the outcome of a refusal to grant an
increase if it is demanded.
Contracts Have Been Signed.
Birmingham, Ala., July 14.—Con
tracts have been signed between the
operators and miners at the Galloway
mines, Walker county, and the Bril
liant mines, in Marion county. Both of
these mines will hereafter recognize the
United Mine Workers of America.
TRIAL OF CALEB~~POWERS.
Doctors and Civil Engineer the First
Witnesses Examined.
Georgetown, Ky., July 14. Th®
attendance at the trial of ex-Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with being
an accomplice to the murder of William
Goebel, was smaller than any time since
Monday, when the case was first called.
It was believed that only the civil engi
neer, who measured th® statehouse
grounds at Frankfort, where the crime
occurred, and the doctors who performed
the autopsy on the body of the victim,
would be put on th® stand by the com
monwealth. The prosecution hoped to
show by these witnesses, by the meas
urements and drawings, that the fatal
bullet was fired from one of two front
windows of a room in the executive
building, occupied during his term of
office bv the prisoner, Powers.
The evidence, while bearing directly
upon the case, had small attraction for
the general public.
Indians In Drouth Stricken Arizona
On the Verge of Starvation.
Phcenix, A. T., July 14.—The pro
longed drouth, probably unprecedented
in the history of this portion of Arizona,
has greatly augmented the sufferings of
the famine stricken Pima Indians on the
Sacaton reservation. Members of the
tribe have told Superintendent Oowan,
of the Indian agency, that their cattle
are dying rapidly from starvation and
thirst. Most of the Indians now de
pendent upon cattle for food will hav®
to have provisions. The supply cannot
last long.
They are emaciated and suffering and
unless the $33,000 congressional appro
priation can be used at once, private
subscriptions or similar relief measures
must be taken.
