Admiral 'Seymour's expedition has been relieved1, having failed to connect jwith Pekin. There is no news from Pe kin. Russian Oolonel Schtelle, com manding the comlbined forces of 10,000 men, is supposed to be proceeding to Pe kin. Admiral Seymour's expedition is returning to Tien Tsin. His force has suffered greatly. It is estimated from 40,000 to 60,000 Chinese troops are now before Pekin. Boxers from all sections are swarming there. RENEWED ANXIETY AT WASH . ' INGTON. Washington, June 28. After the re lief which was experienced yesterday over thedespatch from Kempff that the I foreign ministers were with Admiral Seymour's column" eight miles from Tien Tsin, besieged, but presumably safe, the government today is again plunged into uncertainty as to the fate or wherabouts of its diplomatic repre sentative in China, his. legation staff, his family and other Americans who were at Pekin when the anti-foreign attacks began. Reports from other of ficial sources are conflicting. The gov ernment is at a loss to determine which are correct and which are not. It doesn't even know whether the foreign ministers left Pekin. It is doubtful that they have reached Tien Tsin. As for Kempffs statement that they are reported to be with Seymour's column so much has come through the press and foreign official channels as to make this appear incorrect that some author ities openly express their disbelief of its accuracy. FROM KEMPFF. Washington, June 28. The following cablegram was received this morning from Kempff: rChefoo, June 28.-About 12,000 foreign troops now ashore. Soldiers ordered should report at Taku instead of Che foo. Substituted. Nashville for York town at Cheefoa. Yorktown used as despatch boat, being more suitable. Kempff." Yesterday the officials felt sure the foreign missionaries in China were safe with Seymour's column. This morning confidence was shaken. The conclusion drawn by navy department officials from Kempff 's despatch is that he is not in communication with Tien Tsin, and notwithstanding the cable company's notice yesterday still no news route is open to that city save by runners . PROTECTION OF SHANGHAI. Explanation was had at the state de partment today of the report from Shanghai that the consuls were nego tiating with the Chinese viceroys re specting the protection of the city be cause they were cut off from communi cation with Conger, from whom they should receive instructions in -normal conditions. The American consuls in China have been embarrassed in deal ing with the local Chinese authorities by reason of the necessity of securing instructions from" Washington, there fore Secretary Hay yesterday sent gen- A Bargain ! oooo On Sulphur Springs road Ten acres ground and well constru ted modern house.

THE CAPTURE OF TIEN TSIN. London, June 28. A despatch dated June 27 says an- Amerk&n oerwapaper correspondent named Fenton and 'an American sailor named Ringrove ar rived at Taku Monday from Tien Tsin. They confirm the statement that the British and American 'brigadeIed the relieving forces into Tien Tsin. They entered at 1 p. m. June 23. The Chinese delivered a heavy tmusketry fire against the relievers, but they were driven back by the latter's turn. Fanton says the British and American gunfire was beau tifully accurate. The Russians attack ed and captured the Chinese arsenal. The Americans $o&t three kfatled, two wounded; the British two killed, one wounded; the Germans fifteen killed, twenty-seven wounded, and the Rus sians ten killed, thirty-seven wounded. Fenton says he does not know the casualties among those who were be leagured, but believed no women or children were killed or wounded. ANXIETY iFOR EXILES FROM PEKIN. London, June 28. The world has again to depend upon rumor in regard to the fate of the supposed exiles from the Chinese eapital. It is generaly ac cepted that they have been compelled to leave Pekin, but whether as wards under a Chinese escort or as hostages on the way to the possible new canital. I'their plight -must excite the arravest anxiety, as even if they are in the care of a Chinese escort this Is hardly considered a good guarantee of .the safety of "foreign devils" in a coun try swarming with their most virulent enemies. A telegram from Jardine, Mattheson fe Company, dated Shanghai, this after noon suggests tha't the ministers are still at Pekin, but admits .that there is no news from the capital. The tele gram adds: "Seymour arrived at Tien Tsin with 312 of his force wounded, besides 62 killed. The damage done to Tien Tsin has been much exaggerated. Shanghai is quiet." Other despatches from Shanghai re Iterate the announcement of the mas sacre of native Christians in the in land districts which rival the Armenian horrors. . The officials at the places watched by gunboats make a show of protecting the missionaries, but there is not even a pretense of protection for the converts in the interior, who have been butchered by wholesale. RUSSIANS TO MOBILIZE. froTrrtjrabsorutel reliable source we hear the Russian war ministry has sent to all the military and civil au thorities in Russia telegraphic secret orders to prepare everything for mobo lization. The orders bear date of June 18 and 19. SEYMOUR'S WOUNDED RESCUED. St. Petersburg, June 28. The min ister of war has received the follow ing from Admiral Alexiff, dated Port Arthur, June 27. "During the night of June 15 a "de tachment of four companies of Rus sians, Col. Schivski commanding, and the same number of foreigners went to the relief of Admiral Seymour and brought 200 of his wounded to Tien Tsin." PRESBYTERIAN MISSION FIRE. New York, June 28. Two cables were received by the Presbyterian board of Foreign Missions this morning. The first from Shanghai read: "Weihen destroyed. Foreigners es caped." The Presbyterian tward had $40,000 worth of property in Weihen and th:s is now ail gone. Dr. Fairries was on of the missionaries there, and he es caped with the others. The other cable came from Ch3foo and stated: "Lobenstein at Shanghai; Fennes at Pekin." Rev. E. C. Lobenstein -was stationed at Nankin; and it would appear as if he had to make his escape to Shang hai. The cable also stated, "No word has been received from Pekin or Pao Tu Fu," and "Weihen mission burned; missionaries safe." New York, June 28. The following cable was received at the Methodist Upiscofpal board today from Chefoo from the Rev. Mr. -'Brown, one of their missionaries in Tien Tsin district. It is dated June 28: "Mission destroyed by fire; about 160 killed. I think there is a serious risk for foreigners. -Will return in a few days to Tien Tsin. Shall I return home? Will you permit?"

Vancouver, June 28. According to steamer advices the Japanese govern ment is-very angry at the secret execu tion of General An Kyeng Su and Kwon Young Chin, former cabinet min isters of the Korean government and leaders of the progressive party, who were privately strangled in the Seoul prison as traitors on the night of May 27. Both were concerned in the plot which culminated m the assassination of Queen Min at Seoul in 1895. For the four years they have been refugees in Japan and returned to Korea under the protection of the Japanese minister. Despite this chaperonage An and Kwon were tortured into making a full con fession, were then beaten and strangled and their bodies exposed as traitors, and afterward drawn and quartered. The Japanese minister tried to prevent the execution but was refused an au dience with the 'Korean king on ac count of the latter's alleged illness. KHEDIVE VISITS QUEEN.

The procession at Winsor was es corted by Life Guards and a detach ment of Grenadiers formed a guard of honor in the quadrange of the castle. The queen received the khedive at the principal entrance.

Vienna, June 28,-he Archduke tFranz Ferdinand, tihe former heir t- the throne and nephew of the emperor, at the Hofburg today in the presence of the emperor, archdukes, ministers and state diginataries, took a formal oath that he and his future wife (the Prin cess Chotek) will both regard their mar riage as morganatic. Consequently his wife will never as sume the position of empress and the children by their marriage will never claim the right of succession. The oath was administerd with impressive cere monies. Count Gblochowski, the min ister of foreign affairs, read the docu ments. The archduke then advanced to a crucifix on the table and .placed his fingers on the testament, which was held by the cardinal archbishop. After taking the oath the archduke signed the documents. The marriage will occur Sunday. Ice cream served at the Woman's Exchange every Saturday and Monday. "Best returns for Gazette want ad .

A Wonderful Contest for Three Miles, Regetta Rowed With Good Conditions on the Charles. Crews at Poughkeepsie Ready for Satui day's "Contest. ALL IN GOOD CONDITION DESPITE OPPRESSIVE WEATHER EX PECTED THAT THE RACE WEUL. BE RECORD BREAKER. New London, June 28. Though Yale won the varsity boat race from Har vard this afternoon after being sig nally vanquished in the four and fresh man events, the victory was not the kind over which the New Haven men. like to enthuse. For three miles the crews provided a struggle that will never be forgotten. Harding, Har vard's substitute stroke, was in the ac of stroking the crimson crew into a good lead when he suddenly collapsed. But for the collapse of Harding Har vard would have rowed Yale a neck and neck race to the finish. Harvard won the four oared race by about four lengths. The crews got off in the race, Har vard about 11:52 and Yale about 11:52:56. The official time of the four-oared race was: Harvard, 13:22; Yale, 13Y35-2-5. The freshmen eight two-mile race was won by Harvard. The crews start ed at 12:15:52. Harvard got the best of the start. The race was an exciting; one. The mile was done in 5:25, with Harvard leading. Official time for freshman race: Har vard, 12:01; Yale, 12:19 2-5. The four mile race of the varsity eights was won by xale. The race was begun at 1:49:15, Harvard leading in the first part, but after leaving the mile Yale took up the gap, and at the three and a half mile mark Harvard, seemed to be a half lengh to the good, but towards the end Yale pulled up and woii. Official time: Yale, 21:12 2-5. Harvard, 21:27 2-5. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 28. The hard practices of all the crews except Pennsylvania are over, and the coaches for the next few days will give the men just enough of short work to keep them in form. In case of two of the five var sity crews present, the easy training' is absolutely necessary, for the Wisconsin, eight and the Cornell eight are close to what the coaches term "fineness" as it is safe to have them. So far as can be learned the men ofi all the crews are in good condition to day despite the fact that the weather is oppressive. The prospects for Satur day is that there will be hot weather, without wind in the afternoon. Ex perts already here predict that with good water and weather the varsity race will be the greatest ever witnessed in this country and that the world's record for four miles, made on this course in 1896 of 19.29, will be broken. GEORGIA CROPS DAMAGED. Eatonton, Ga.. June 28. The contin ued heavy rains in this section have re sulted in much loss of property. Early fruit is being considerably damaged; cotton is fast yielding to the evil ef fects of the protracted damp spell. Corn is showing1 unmistakable signs of the' want of sunshine and the strums are swollen to such an extent that all bottom crops are submerged. A Decided Advantage.
