To Snd MiBt)MtTf fo Tlen-iTiB-?BolieTed That ther AlUei Are Advancing: A Vice roy Paid for the Head of Christiana Chinese Disregard -an Armistice A Big Battle Expected Totnorrow. By Wire to the Telegram. Washington, Aug. 4. From official reports received today it ia evident that the Chinese government is fright ened over the consequences that would follow the arrival of an international relief column at the gates of Pekin. The government is arranging to send the ministers to Tien-Tsln, hoping by that means to placate the powers and cause the allied troops to stop before reaching the capital. Ther is every reason to believe that the allies are advancing and that the ministers may meet them half way be '.ween Pekin and Tien-Tain. PAID FOR THE HEADS OF CHRISTIANS. Shanghai, Aug. 4. The discoveries at Tien-Tsin are makiDg it blacker for the viceroy who ruled before the bombardment. Proofs have been found showing that the viceroy offered and paid rewards for the heads of Christians. A cage in which foreign ers were confined has been found in the official residence. ARMISTICE NOT REGARDED. London, Ang. 4. A dispatch has been received from Sir Claude Mac Donald, at Pekin, which repeats tbe statement made in his last letter, but adds that, despite the armistice agreed upon July 16th, the legations are shelled occasionally. The dis patch concludes as follows: 'It is important that when the relief force gets close to town the troops .should advance rapidly and prevent the retreat of the Chinese attacking us. A dispatch was received at Tien Tsin from the Japanese minister at Pekin, dated July 23rd, saying the defenders of Pekin had only 25 rounds of ammu nition left. A BATTLE EXPECTED. London?Aug. 4. There is nothing direct from tne allies operating beyond Tien-Tsin, but a dispatch from Shang hai today says a battle is expected to morrow between Gen. Mas' troops and 10,000 Chinese at Yang-Tsun. The Russian and French contingents are guarding' the communications. Amer ican, British and Japanese troops form the advancing column. ALL QUIET AT CANTON. Hong Kong, Aug. 4 All is quiet at Canton, but there is great activity at the Pogue forts, which are fully mann ed. Flags are hoisted on the walls and there is constant practic? with big guns. The Chinese in this sec tion fear an attack by the French. RUSSIANS DEFEATED. London, Aug. 4 A news agency dispatch from Shanghai, dated, Aug. 2nd, says the Russians have sustained a severe defeat north of New Chwang, being forced to abandon the railway between that place and Port Arthur. Five thousand Russians are trying to hold Tsah Filo Chao, but the place is surrounded by 40,000 Chinese. Four Russian steamers on the Amur are reported sunk or damaged by Chi nese fire. DEFENCELESS CONVERTS KILLED. London, August 4, 3:55 a. m. Ac cording to a special dispatch from Shanghai, dated August 3, the ad vancing column of the allies was re ported there yesterday to have reached a point 35 miles beyond Tien-Tsin. Nothing from any other point corrob orates this statement. In fact, The Standard goes so far as to say that it fears the real advance, apart from preliminary measures, has not yet be gun. Tien-Tsin dispatches, dated July 30, tell of an action which is termed a "reconnoisance between the Japanese and Chinese," two milefe beyond the Bsiku arsenal, in which the Japanese withdrew after suffering 30 casualties. The Tien-Tsin correspondent of The Standard, "under date of. July 27, de clares that the Americans and.' Ger mans have been ordered to move for ward, without waiting for the British, A Che Fa , special,. August l'j an nounces the safety o( .allthe Ameri cans in Pekin and the reception of a letter from Dr. Cbeltman, dateifl kin, July 20fairigh;ati M vions day, Sir tflaudIajD5nald, the British minister, had agreed to a truce .provided. the. Chinese came no closer, 'andaddl'ng: We hope th's means re lief; but, having defeated the Chinese, 'are fearful now of treachery. All are exhausted with coustant watching, fighting and digging trenches. The greatest credit is due to Mr. Squires, secretary of the United States lega tion, whose military experience and energy are invaluable " ' The Shanghai correspondent of The Dally News says tbe consuls there re gret the independent action taken, by the American and China Association upon the ground that it is injudicious. He say: -"T&e settlements being- in ternationatY petty jealousies must dis appear. The China Association is of little local influence." Presumably he refers to the American Asiatic Asso ciation. The Hong .Kong correspondent of The Daily Express announces the ar rival there from San Francisco of Homer Lea, far some time secret agent in the United States of tha Society for the Reformation of the Chinese Em pire, with 60,000 pounds sterling, which "will presumably be utilized in connection with the revolutionary movement against the Empress Dowa ger, a movement quiescent since 1898, until within the last few weeks." Nearly all the correspondents con firm the reports of a wholesale maisa cre of Christians outside Pekin, a cor respondent of The Daily News giving the number killed as between 10,000 and 15,000, all defenceless converts. Imperial troops, so it is said, did the ghastly work. According to the Shaaghai corre spondent of The Times, one of the members of the Tsung Li Yamen men tioned by United States Consul Good now, as having been beheaded for pro foreign tendencies, was Hsu Ching Cheng, former minister to Russia. The correspondent said the Empress Dowager ordered his execution on the advice of Li Ping Hong. Li Hung Chang has been informed from Pekin that Prirce Ching's only prominent supporters in his peace pol icy are General Yung Li and Wang Wen Snao, president of the board of revenue, whose influence is small.

By Wire to the Telegram. Rome, Aug. 4 The funeral of tve murdered King Humbert has bsen fix ed definitely for next Thursdav. - Shirt-Waist Han. Chicago Post. The proposition to put men in shirt waists cannot be seriously considered until we know exactly how we are- go ing to dispose of that obstacle at the waist line. We have seen the football player Standing with reluctant feet Where the shirt and trousers meet but whle this may do very well for football, it will hardly serve: the purpose for dress parade. The phys ical conformation of the ladies ena bles them to retain the graceful swing and hang of their skirts, but a man's trousers must be buoyed up by adven titious aid. We could not think of wearing our suspenders over ; our shirt waists and our present style of belts surmounted by a row of trouser buttons would be a hideous innova tion. To meet the exigency (therefore, we must employ pads ill defiances of nature's distinctions," or safety pins, which are somewhat subversive of our manly dignity. There may be other ways of getting around this difficulty, and we hope the interested parties will give the subject the prayerful consid eration its importance merits. We have no hesitation in saying that the inventor who points out the way of uniting the shirt waist and the trousers, harmoniously to the eye and agreeably, to the abdominal muscles, will lay the foundation of a colossal fortune. . - A Pleasant Dance at the Battle Ground.

Troops tart the Trbuble--Tlt : , JewishQuarter Looted, Odessa Dispatch, Aug. 1st, . , f A number of soldiers who have been ordered to the far East were selling their superfluous chattels to Jtw deal ers on Sunday, when on6rOHhena . who had realised five roubles iori his goods declared that the purchaser bad . im mediately picked his pocket after pay ing him. The allegation started a fecocions attack on the Jews which' spread throughout the ! Jewish quarter,.. A mob- joined the soldiers and Wrecked and plundered booths and brutally beat Jews wherever they were found. The police were helplesss. Cossacks and infantry were parad ed, but it was hours before the rioting stopped. It is stated that many of the troops ordered to protect the Jews joined the looters when not under the eyes of their officers. The authorities were energetic.

One -hundred and twenty were taken to the hospitals. PEKIN SHOULD BE DESTROYED. Merchants and Missionaries Want China Punished Before Peace is Proclaimed. Che Fu, July 29, via Shanghai, Aug. 2. Public opinion and the foreign press at the treaty ports are alarmed at the possibility that the Chinese may prevail upon the powers to consent to peace without inflicting pu.-.ishment befitting the Chinese xrovernm nt'a crime. Officials and persons engaged in commercial pursuits and mission aries of all natinalties areremai'kably united. They believe Pekin should be de stroyed as an object lesson, and that if the dynasty is continued, it should be forced to establish the capital at some accessible city". The' Americans suggest Nankin. This is consid ered impbriant, as the Chinese always beli jved that China defeated the pow ers in 1860, because the capital 're mained intact. It is also thought that guarantees to prevent excessive arma ment should be demanded and that China should be compelled, publicly and definitely, to renounce the fiction that the foreign ministers are repre sentatives of tributary powers. There is a strong demand for unusual pun ishment, like the destruction of the Kings' tpmbs THE NEW WATERWORKS PLANT.
