The entire region of the Yang Tse is in a state of unrest. Shanghai "is menaced with a native up rising, and the northern provinces .are in an uproar. What may be the ulti mate policy of the powers, the immedi ate effect of the successful defense of the foreign quarter at Tien Tsin is distinctly quieting and reassuring. The allied armies are fighting there for the pre vention of a massacre and the protec tion qf foreign interests through the Chinese empire. The retreat of the foreign contingents to the coast would be the signal for yel low terrorism in every quarter of the seaboard and the interior. While the improvement in the situa tion at Tien Tsin is considerable, the Chinese rebels are swarming outside the city and there are strong reasons for be lieving that the bulk of the regular army is saturated with the Boxers' spirit ox hatred against foreigners. Natives Were Slain. . Santa Rosa, Cal., July 18. Letters have been received here from Mrs. J. W. Ragsdale, wife of the United States consul at Tien Tsin. The letters are under date of June 14 and tell of con' ditions existing there at that time. Mrs. Ragsdale says: "All the mission churches in Tien-Tsin have been burned.

The allied troops resumed the attack upon the Chinese walled city of Tien Tsin on the morning of July 14 and succeeded in breaching the walls and capturing all the forts. The Chinese were comoletelY routed and the allies took possession o the na tive city and its defenses. The total losses of the allies in the en gagements of Thursday, Friday and Sat urday were about 800 killed or wounded. The casualties were greatest among the Russians and Japanese.

When the arsenal had been evacu ated by . the Chinese the Americans, French, Japanese and Welsh fusiliers advanced toward the native city and lomed with the attacking forces. The Japanese infantry and a mounted bat tery advanced to the foot of the walls, supported by the Americans and the French. Despite valiant attacks, the allies were only able to hold the posi tions gained outside the walls prepara tory to renewing the assault in the morning. The casualties sustained by the allies were exceedingly heavy, especially those to the Americans, French ana Japauese.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE; BLACK'S TESTIMONY ; 7 r. . i . i 1.1 Caleb Powers Unfolded His Flans to the Banker. BEM0NSTBATED WITH HHI Power Became Angry Because Black Would Not Assist Him Taylor, Fla lay and Other Prominent Republican Leaders Implicated Georgetown, Ky., July 18. The Powers murder case was resumed with the promise that several minor witnesses would be heard first, but that during the day some very sensational evidence would be brought out. . John A. Black of BarbOursville, a banker and a Bepub- lioan of prominence, was the first wit- ness, -- He said Powers came to him in January to advise him as to the pro priety - of the mountain organization which Powers was getting up. MI asked Powers," said the witness, what sort of a crowd he was getting up and he said he was organizing an armed mob to go to Frankfort. I disoouraged th and told him it would injure the Republican party, would be a stigma on our end of the state and ought to be abandoned. Powers, however, insisted that the mob should be formed. His idea was that it would intimidate the legislators. V; Approved by Taylor. Continuing Black said: "I saw Powers later, and again re monstrated against the formation of the mob which was going to Frankfort. Powers told me it was being formed with the approval of Govarnor Taylor, Charles Finlay and other Republican leaders at Frankfort. Charles Finlay also came to me and tried to get me to co-operate with them. I protested bit terly. Powers became very anary with me on account of the position I took. I tried to dissuade them from the dirty band and send good citizens, people of influence, if any crowd was to be sent." A check from Charles Finlay to the Louisville and Nashville railroad for $1,000 for transportation of the men to Frankfort was produced by Black in re sponse to a question from the prosecu tion. The defence, through Mr. Owens, raised a point against the competency of Coulton as a witness, he being under ixr&ictment along with Powers and oth ers as "a co-conspiratcr and having not beeu tried. The jury was excluded dur ing the argument of the point. Judge Sims presented objections of the defense to the competency of Culton as a Wit ness against Powers. Cross Examination. On cross examination Black said that Finley claimed the mountaineers were being taken to Frankfort to "influence" tho legislature. Powers said the pur pose was to "intimidate" that body. At this answer Colonel Campbell, attorney for the prosecution, slapped himself on the knee which brought forth an objec tion from the defense to such a demon stration in the presence of the jury. Continuing, witness said he "never heard Powers make threats against Goe bel except in a general way. He re ferred to the crowd he was getting up as a mob." ; J. W. Siler, a banker olF Wiliiams burg, was asked concerning $1,000 that was loaned to Charles-1 Finlay for the purpose of transporting meii to Frank fort., Witness could not give the date of the check. W. H. Culton, who is himself under indictment as an accessory and supposed to be the star witness of the prosecution, was called next. ADDRESS BY HON. J.

C, July 16.

So the minister per formed the ceremony as the two sat in the buggy in front of the preacher's house.
