London, July 9. Beyonjt the not

nothing new regarding the Chinese
situation. The latest news from Tien
Tsln is that Pin Chinese attacked the
city July 6 from the east wih twelve
guns which shelled theEuropean set
tlement very accurately. The allies
made a sortie under cover of the naval
guns of the British warship Terrible
and repulsed the attack.
Admiral Bendemann, cabling from
Taku, under date of July 7, has inform
ed the German admiral that Tien Tsin
is bombarded daily from the arsenal
and fortifications on the west and from
the batteries on the north and in the
Chinese town. Attempts to rush the
trenches have been repulsed several
times with heavy loss to the Chinese.

Bruce endorses the rumors' that Prince
OMng, who is said to te heading a coun
ter revolution ait Pekin, is igniting in
behalf of n legations a.nst the
usurper, Prince Tuan, tihie turn1 of
events is of the utmost importance, as
it is felt here that in- some such division:
amcg the Chines? tfoemselve lies the
best bone for he safety of the foreign
ers. If the powers can find allies in
China itself it wiTl materially facilitate
the task of restorng order, and. those ac
quainted with the country believe tfhat
if the diplomats are able t induce ivueh
a man as Li Hung Chang or Jhan - Chi
Tung to send forces to the assistance of
Prince Chang, the forces of revolution
ists will disappear as quickly as they
have collected and a way to Pekin will
be opened without great delay. If as
suggested the native sympathizers are
able to keep the besieged legation rea
sonably supplied with provisions, the
foreign colon may yet escape destruc
tion. The latest Tews from Tien Tsin is
contained in a message dated Fr'day,
July 6, reporting a renewed Chinese at
tack that morning with 12 gun. The
allied forces replied with the guns land-"
ed from the British first cruiser Terri
ble and a mixed force of 1,000 men made
a softie under cover of the fire of. the
naval brigade, and attacked the Chi
nese who retired- after seven hours'
fighting. j j 51
Earlier dispatches reached sh-v fight
ing notably on July 2 and July 3 when
the Chinese developed unexpected
strenght and did considerable damage
with artillery. At the bridge near the
French settlement there was bard fight
ing at close quarters the Russians with
a Gatling gun, finally compelled the
Chinese to retire though they suffered
heavily. The operations, however, were
in no way decisive, later messages
showing the Chinese were still full of
fight.
ALLIED FORCES MOVE.
New York, July 9. A special from
Washington says: "An allied force of
nearly 100,000 men will be irv China
within a few weeks. The figures are
larger than given heretofore, but are
based on better Information, which has
just reached here. The allies at Taku
and at Tien Tsin now number 18000 men.
The reinforcements under orders con
sist of 19,000 Japanese troops, 15,000 Ger
mans, 13,000 Russians, 11,000 Americans,
10,000 British, 8,000 (French and 3,000
Italians., Upon the arrival of the Ja
panese division at Taku the question of
the officer who will be placed in su
preme command will naturally arise.
The Japanese corps will be commanded
by a Japanese general and, so far as
known here, he will, be ranking officer.
Russia may not wish to permit Japani
to have the preponderating force, V-nd
the commander also, and so may send
an officer "win the rank of general to
ooonniand her, forces. He will, of
iyurss& rak SwJtbl the" Japanese offlcer.1
TWO LEGATIONS .STANDING.
Washington, July 9.-The following
despatch was received last night by
Minister Wu from Sheng, director gen
eral of the Imperial telegraphs at
Shanghai, dated yesterday:
"Two legations in Pekin still pre
served. All ministers safe. Rebel
lious troops and rioters make attacks
but suffer many losses. Imperial
troops protected but meet with diffi
culty in doing. so. It is feared that
food and ammunition are exhausted."
MANY BOXERS KILLED.
. Shanghai, July 9. A message from
Wei Hai Wei received here today
states that her maesty's ship Alacrity
has returned direct to Wei Hai Wei
with twenty wounded men. The situ
ation is still grave, for the boxers, al
though they have been mowed down
by hundreds, still believe themselves
invulnerable.
Every moment now is precious. Box

bAFFTDAVITS THAT BRING HIM
DANGEROUS LP NEAR THE
ROARING CRATER MR. BEL
LAMY'S NOVEL EFFORT TO RES
CUE HIM.
Before an audience of 450 persons at
Morgan Hill yesterday there was a
joint debate between Hon.
J. D. Bel-
lamy and Hon. Richmond
Pearson,
Mr. Bellamy dividing: time with Mr.
Pearson. Mr. Bellamy after detailing
conditions in the east devoted most of
his time to an attempt to prove that no
white man would be disfranchised
now or after 1908. He quoted Thomas
Jefferson's letter to Governor Morris:
"The negToes must be deported or de
leted." He failed to inform his hear
ers that his own county of New Han
over and other counties in the eastern
part of North Carolina are now living
under a separate form of county gov
ernment in which neither whites nor
blacks are allowed to vote for their
'County commissioners, a condition that
does away with "negro domination."
Mr. Bellamy told his hearers that
negroes in the east were not fit to vote
and invariably voted the republican,
tkket. A, young man by the name pf,
so how did you get elected? How do
the democrats carry those black coun
ties?" This was a poser.
Mr. Pearson said Mr. Bellamy was
elected to the last congress by a very
large majority in the eastern part of
the state, and he will be elected again
by voters of those counties in which
there is a very large proportion, and in
some cases a majority, of negro voters.
There can be no better proof, Mr.
Pearson, said, that Mr. Bellamy con
siders his election sure and his control
of negro voters absolute and certain
than the fact that he leaves his black
counties and comes here to appeal to
the white counties of the west. He
knows his party has controlled the
blacks by some of the methods sug
gested by Mr. Aycock, but he has
heard mutterings of discontent in these
mountains and has come here to plead
with white men whom he cannot con
trol and whom no man can control ex
cept by reason and by truthful state
ments of actual conditions and argu
ments. Mr. Pearson then read Mr.
Simmons justly celebrated pledge
from page 18, democratic handbook of
1898, and Mr. Bellamy admitted the
genuineness of the document and the
making of the promise by Mr. Sim
mons, but insisted that the pledge not
to disfranchise anyone did not Include
the blacks. '
Mr. Pearson then read from page 6
of the handbook wherein Mr. Simmons
says: "As a matter of fact the right
of suffrage to whites and blacks is
given by the constitution," and "etc.,
"so even if the democrats favored dis
franchising anybody, white or black,
they could not do 0 It is forbidden
by the constitution and so such effort
could succeed."
In his reply Mr. Bellamy deplored
Mr. Pearson's attack on Locke Craig
and his attempt to arraign prejudice
