The uncertainty regarding the situation in Pekin is still unlifted and there is little news that causes unquallned belfef concerning the future position in China. Shanghai furnishes its customary sensations to the newspapers, whose news can be lit tle! depended upon. One announces. that the emperor, in his own name, un der date of Pekin, July 7, sent couriers to Lu Kun Ti, viceroy of Nanking, with a message addressed to the Rus sian, British and Japanese govern ments deploring the recent occurrences (and solemnly affirming that the gov ernments are mistaken in believing that the Chinese government is pro tecting the boxers against the Chris tians. He further implored the aid of the governments in suppressing the uprising against the foreigners. This may be set against the assurances from Shanghai prior t? July 2 that the emperor had committed suicide or had feeetIlMA?"'AttoUarn, tpurport- ing to haye. been sent from Chefoo, as cribes vto Japan a plan of campaign ex-, tending over two or three-, years, and with a determination to have 63,000 men in China before the present rainy season is well advanced. From the same source it is stated that 30,000 Russians are advancing from Arbin.. There are further accounts of fight ing at Tien Tsin. The Chinese shell ed the foreign quarter July 3, damag ing many houses.- The casualties to the defenders were few. The allies got several guns in position to reply but one after another was disabled by the accurate fire of the Chinese. The Brit ish are reported to have lost on Julyy3 and 4, 30 killed and wounded, the Jap anese 23 and the French heavily. Ac cording to one great havoc .occurred among the Russians and Germans. The; situation on Hhe evening, of July 4 was very critical. The repulse of the Chinese on July 6 has been, confirmed. A Shanghai despatch dated Monday says severe fighting continues. , ALLEGED NEWS FROM PEKIN. Washington, July 10. Secretary Hay tonight received from Consul Loweler, at Chefoo, a message transmitted by the governor of Shantung, stating that all the members of legations at Pekin, excepting the German minister, were safe! July 5. REFUGEES FROM TTEN TSIN. Shanghai, July 10. Two hundred refugees from Tien Tsln arrived today from Taku. They say an order was Is sued at Tien Tsin July 2 for all women and i Children to -leave, severe fighting being expected. More than 200 women and children were confined In Gordon hall in T?an Tsin for more than two weeks. There is much distress. Al though the hall was struck by shells tftere5 were no casualties.

' Londan, July 1ft. Chinese official sources furnish anotber suprise today in- announcing that the dowager em press, who had been .reported within the past' two weeks dead,- fled, poison ed and hopelessly insane, has resumed the reins of power i The ' date given is June 30,,, the same on which., the whole sale, massacre of foreigners is alleged to have occurred." " The telegram of Sheng, the adminis trator of telegraphs and railroads to the Chinese minister at Washington, Wu Ting Fang, saying the Imperial government is. protecting the legations appears to "fit" in with the despatch from Shanghai of this, morning, par ticularly with reference to the alleged directions given by thedowager em press relative' to the protection, of for eigners. At the same time the people continue to ask why, if rhe legations are protected, the ministers- are jaot permitted" to communicate Vith the outer world? Sheng s :, expressed Nfear that , the food. and. ammunition, of the legations are exhausted Is counter acted by the news that Prince Ching; the commander of the Manchu field force, 'is "revictualing them beside which it is now known that in the last resort there are available for food sev eral hundred ponies usually kept with in the' Walls of the British legation. JAPAN'S PLANS. In the--meantime, ' according "to the legation of . Japan here, the Japanese. by no means share the general opin- ion that the advance on Pekin must be indefinitely delayed. The officials assert that the Japanese have no in tention of halting at Taku or Tien Tsin, but propose to advance on -Pekin during the present week. Their mili tary authorities express the opinion that the 20,000 of their troops, in addi tion to the international forces, already available, will suffice to force an entry into th'e Chinese capital. Emperor William despatched the German warship Bussard from Kiel for China this morning. While the Ger man cruisers Geier and Zee Adler have been ordered to proceed to China as rapidly as possible, from their Ameri can and Australian stations respective- GOOD NEWS DOUBTED. Washington, July 10. The secretary of state has received a despatch from Mr. Goodnow, United States consul general at Shanghai stating that it is given out' by the governor of Shantung that the legations were standing on July 5, and that the outlaws were dis persing. Mr. Goodnow adds that this statement does not obtain general credence. OUR GOVERNMENT" S POSITION. Washington, July 10. The state de partment has finally concluded to mate public the identical note which was recently delivered to the powers as defining the position of the United States respecting the Chinese troubles. It is understood that this circular in struction was drawn up on the 30th of June and transmitted to Canton for the approval of the president and com municated to the powers concerned on the 3d of July. It embodies the views to which this government has "strictly adhered from the very beginning of the present "trouble and which the different powers have one by one taken into fa vorable consideration. The circular which was sent to our foreign representhatives is as follows: "Department of State, Washington, July 3, 1900.. . "In this critical posture of affairs in China it is deemed appropriate to de fine the attitude of the United States as farf as present circumstances per mit this to be done. We adhere to the policy initiated by us in eighteen fifty seven, of peace with the .Chinese nation, of furtherance of lawful com merce and of protection of lives , and property of our citizens by all means guaranteed under extra territorial trtaty rights and by the law of na tions. 'If wrong be don'a to our citizens we propose 'to hld the sponsible au thors to the uttermost accountability. We regard the condition at Pekin as one of victual, anarchy, whereby power and responsibility is practically de volved upon the local' provincial au thorities.

C.r do hereby set , forth and reaffirm our devotion and allegi ance to the principles and policies of the republican party of the United States. We heartily and enthusiasti cally endorse the wise, patriotic and humane administration of President McKlhley. We further endorse the tariff'; and all financial legislation of the republi-cari party in congress. "We congratulate the people of the United States on the -return of the greatest, prosperity in the history, of the government in all parts of the union and among all classes of her cit izens, i "We likewise endorse the action of the national republican convention at Philadelphia for its harmony and unanpnity in the ren'omination by ac clamation of our chieftain, William McKiBley, and the nomination for. sec ond place by acclamation of the hero of San Juan hill. With such a com bination of Christianity, patriotism, brains, courage and integrity we can not fall short of a glorious, victory. "We heartily endorse and ratify the ticket nominated by the state conven tion in the city of Raleigh May 2, 1900, by the republican party. "We know this ticket to be composed of gentlemen with honor, wisdom and courage,, and in whose souls the fire of liberty is burning today. We can safely, trust the future of North Car olina in their hands; therefore we commend this ticket to all of our cit izens who love liberty and pledge our selves to use every honest effort to se cure its election at the polls. "We most enthusiastically endorse the record of our honorable senator, J . C. Pritchard, and congratulate our selves upon having such a champion of human rights among us. "We are more than proud of the way and manner in which Hon. Richmond Pearson contested for his seat in con gress and exposed to the eyes of the world the fraudulent democracy of the Ninth congressional district and of North Carolina. "We condemn the leaders of democ racy in North Carolina for breaking their solemn and sworn pledges to the people in the campaign of 1898. "Governor Jarvis and other mouth pieces of democracy who spoke from this platform promised the people af ter calling upon God to witness their assertions' that not even the mdst humble ngro in the state - should be deprived, of the right to, vote. They have broken that ''sacred promise by submitting the 'amendment' and now they have the brazen effrontery to promise that the 'amendment will' not disfranchise any white man. White men, can they be trusted longer in the face of 'all these facts? " , j "We denounce the election law pass led by the legislature ' of 1899 as the : most partisan, unfair and unjust ever Diaced upon the statutes "of North Car- X olina. 'and we charge that it was enact- fa for the sole purpose of thwarting 1 the will of a majority of the people to carry the amendment and retain ' de T mocracy in power. In 1898 they prom S ised the people from every stump that they would curtail the state's ex- 2 penses. 1 , , I "They kept that promise by legislate Ing republicans and populists out of office and : creating hundreds of new Offices for theNdemojratic heelers at the expense oi tne people 1 "They divorced the "state and nation election.' called together ..in- extra sessions their smuggling legislature at the expense of 'the people." 1l.We denounce them forv their, broken piedges, their' reckless extraVagance, partisan and ; unconstitutional ' legisla- tlon. , - , . . . , "We denounce the democratic board of county-commisstoners -.for Yancey -nrtmitv a.nd-lcharere that they have been Careless in the management of the "af fairs of the county In asmuch ashey tiave kiiown of the register of "deeds' office being broken .

Big Majority Against the Amendment. Special to the Gazette. Asheboro, July 10. The democrats are demoralized m this county. Affi davit J. H. Pou spoke here today but there was no enthusiasm whatever. , Jerome Smith, , one of the democratic candidates for the legislature, has withdrawn? from the race, and the democratic leaders are now sifting the woods trying to get some one to make the race. It is possible that the re publican candidates for the legislature will only have one opponent in the field. They, know they are leading a forlorn hope. The amendment will be buried by one thousand majority in this county. S. W. L. , BOERS WITHDRAW. Senekal, Orange River Colony, July 9.

The fight ended in the eighth round when Griffo, blinded with blood and weak from the increasing hammering that Gans handed out to him, as on the verge of being put to sleep, and but for the interference from the referee,- John White, the Australian would have been- knocked out.
