(analties of this first attack, but the
UMilt of the second .movement, which
has becu awaited with deepest concern,
i- now cleared up by the admiral's re-,

m he reported how the relief 'column,
i hukI affairs at Tien Tsin,- where, ac
ti rding to the unofficial reiorts of last
-v eeic, " anarchy prevailed and the f or
t ,uu quarters were destroyed.
Out the admiral's report turned atten
ri'.'ii in a new direction by the state
ment that the Pekin relief force is re
ported ten miles from Tien Tsdu, sur
rounded." This, is the first word of any
kind that has located the party of 2,500
iimlcr Vice Admiral Seymour, and in
i iu.linir Captain McCalla with about 100
United States marines. The last heard
of them was June 12 just two wrecks
am; when they were stalled at rLaug
Fans, about two-thirds of the way from
Tien Tsin. to Pekin, short of supplies
a:ul water, the railroad torn up and
with a menacing army of Chinese about
l hem.
Admiral Kenipff's information dis
i -loses that Admiral Seymour's force has
not been able to get through to IVkin,
but has retraced a, good part of the, dis
tance previously covered, and is now
I a ek within ten miles of -Tien Tain.
The whole distance from Tien Tsin to
IVkin is alwut 80 miles, and the Sey
mour expedition when at Lang Fang
had covered .about oo miles of this . dis
tance. . It is to succor this Seymour
partv that the latest expedition left Tien
Tsia on the 24th instant, according to
the closing words -of Admiral Kempff's
lv;- ut. ' .'v
There have been so many expeditions
that, officials themselves are somewhat
confused as to the several movements,
nn.l it is well to locate the different ex
lit ions as they stand by the latest
cisjKitehes.
The lirst. lody of foreign troops, tabout
To m number, and including 30 Anieti
ean marines, which 4went to Pekin to
-iianl the legation, is thought to have
p.t through.
The second force of 2.o00 under Sey-iii-ur,
after making two-thirds of the
distance, is now back ten miles from
Tin Tsin, according to Admiarl
Kempff. -
The first force which went against
T-n Tsin. including Major Waller's
murines and 4(M) Russians, was repulsed
with loss. This was reinforced to 2,000
i!'"a ami the reinforced body entered
Tien Tsin on the 23rd.
On the 24th a relief column started to
tin- assistance of Sevinour's force ten
liil.s from Tien Tin.
These several bodies are widely sepa
rated and show the extent of the
present field of action.
P.efore Secretary Hay left , for the
eahinet meeting he had a call from the
Chinese minister, Mr. Wu, who renewed
in formal nianuer the earnest request
tiiat foreign troops be kept out of China
i.aiil Li Hung Chang could reach Pekin.
Tliis time the request was made in a
written document bearing the signature
'f the six great viceroys of China from
'nnton to Shan Tung, including Lii
Huns Chang himself. The answer of
ih'1 United States government stands as
l'aal, however, and the viceroys are an
' "1110(1 that there can be no abatement
of effort to secure the safety of our of
ficials and citizens. Minister Wu looked

was received with pleasure at the "War
Department. General Corbiu said that
the regiment will, compare favorably
with any similar organization sent by
atiy of the other foreign governments
to China. The Ninth has been recruited
to its fullest possible limit of 1,407 men
and is provided with an ample supply
of machine guns, tents and complete
held equipments. It goes to China pre
pared for active field service and is thor
oughly equipped in the matter of trans
portation and subsistence supplies for a
long campaign. The regiment is com
manded by Colonel Liscum, one of the
bravest and most cliscret officers in the
army.
The trip from Manila to Taku will be
made on the transports Logan and Port
Albert, the latter carrying transportation
outfit and machine guns. The vessels
will proceed at their highest rate of
speed, and are expected to reach the
Chinese port by next Monday or Tues
day. The Navy Department was informed
this afternoon that the gunboat Prince
ton had sailed from Cavite to Canton.
MOBILE UNDER WATER
The Damage Already Great and the
Flood Still Rising
Mobile, Ala., June 20 This city is
literally under water today. Streets in
the business section are totally impassa
ble and all business is suspended, mer
chants, clerks and workmen being un
able to travel from their homes to the
city. Street car traffic has been aban
doned. The only mode of locomotion
is in butchers' and bakers' wagons.
The deluge came on at 4 o'clock this
morning as the climax to a long period
of heavy rain. For hours the streets
leading to the river have presented the
appearance of swollen torrents. The
Western Union .Telegraph office has
seven feet of water over the floor and
ground floors of business houses in the
lowland district are submerged. Even
newspapers are at a standstill, the em
ployes being unable to reach the offices.
.The river is high and going up. An
other few feet of rise will cause a repe
tition or the disastrous floods of 1803,
ami it is even now feared that many
truck gardener! and fishermen in isolated
places across the river have lost their
lives.
Reports of fatalities began to come in
at 0:30 o'clook. The police have it that
two families perished in one street.
Along many thoroughfares in the hol
low between the business section and the
higher ground of the suburbs the water
floated frame houses from their founda
tions and carried the household effects
of hundreds of negroes beyond their
reach.
- A reporter made n tour of this district
in a butcher's wagon and saw police
in patrol wagons endeavoring o rescue
iversons from upper stories of houses.
Many will be drowned if the raiu does
not cease.
The Weather Bureau reports ten
inches of rain from 5 to ! o'clock, when
it was still falling in sheets. It is
more like the rain of the tropics than
any ever before known here.
New Orleans, Montgomery, Meridian
and other places report no rain, show
ing -that the exeeive fall, iliinited to
this part or the Gulf coast.
ROOM FOR JOHN SMITH
Maryland Democrats Drlng Their Gov
ernor Forward lor Vice President
Baltimore, June 20. The Maryland
delegation is now preparing a John Wal
ter Smith boom for the vice presidency
which they will present at the Kavnsas
City convention. Chairman VanDever
admitted toilay that Governor Smith's
name would prohaldy be presented to
the-convention for vice presidential nom
ination. He thinks the nomination will
do Tuuch to restore confidence among
eastern Democrats, that it will be a
wise selection and not at -all outside of
the pale of possibilities that he should
receive it. "We will probauiy present
Governor Smith's name." said Mr. Van
Diver. "At 'any rate re shall certainly
urge his availability as a running mate
to Bryan. We believe from all that we
have heard tthat even the most anient
of the Brvan and free silver advocates
are anxious that something should lie
done to propetuate the eastern conser
vative voters. We know of no better
way to do this than by coupling to Mr.
Bryan a conservative eastern Democrat.
Everything that Mr. Bryan 'himself b;is
said "has iointed to the fact that he be
lieves something should be done to en
large the Democratic vote. .
"Governor Smith aias just redeemed
Maryland from the Republicans. He is
a Democrat Who ihas never been beaten
sit the polls. He lias never turned his
back on his party, has never deceived
either Bryan or free silver in public,
'though 'he is known ito have some
what mare conservative views on the
financial question. He is known through
out the east as -a man with large busi
ness connections, iand his nomination
would make a certainty of Maryland,
beyond having considerable strength all
over the country. Maryland is one of
those border States with naturally Dem
ocratic tendencies, H of Which voted
ag-ainst Bryan dn 1S00. It is lost ground
which the Democratic party will have to
make up af they expect to carry tne
country. We -are not going to make an

IN AND OUT OF TIEN TSIN
Relief Column Starts to the Rescue of
Admiral Seymour's Force
London, June 2(. From many quar
ters comes confirmation of the news of
the relief of Tien Tsin June 23.
The news reached Berlin from the
German consul at Chefoo, who an
nounced that the relief column entered
Tien Tsin during the afternoon of June
23 and started again June 24 to rescue
Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with the
foreign ministers, was said to be occupy
ing a position twelve and one-half miles
from Tien Tsin, where 'he was sur
rounded and hard pressed by a great
force of Boxers and Chinese regulars.
Possibly the Japanese report that
Seymour is a prisoner and that the min
isters had loft Pekin guarded by
Chinese soldiers is merely a distorted
version of the Berlin story. But in any
event definite news may be expected
speedily, and it is confidently believed
here that Seymour and his companions
will be safely delivered from their
plight.
According to the report of a Chinaman
refugee who ,has arrived at Shanghai,
the condition :''of Tien Tsin is horrible.

of '-massacred men and women. Ameii
cans as well as other nationalities, l lie
Hong Knng and German banks, Jie
adds, were both destroyed early during
the bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the American-Russian
relief force was so badly
abuscaded that the forces were obliged
to abandon several field guns and much
ammunition. About INll Russian and
11 Americans were killed or wounded.
The German gunboat litis and a Rus
sian torpedo loat destroyer are patroll
ing the Pei llo river and raking with
macihine guns, the native
villages on th
river banks, which were
lillel with cou-
cealed "sniiers."
A dispatch from anton says that city
remains quiet, but the female mission
aries from the outlying districts are
coming in, owing to the warnings of
native Christians. The missionary hos
pitals are being deserted by the stu
dents and servants.
Although it is otliciallly said at Can

A telegram from the governor1
Kiaochau. dated June 25, which
reached Berlin, announces that!
of
lias
ac-
cording to reports from Chinese sources,
Nice Admiral Seymours force ha
reached IVkin.. This is probably merely
a reiteration of the previous reports on
the same subject.
A great naval demonstration at all the
treaty ports is .said to be desirable an
order to influence the wavering Chinese
merchants who are friendly to for
eigners. i lie masses are oecoming ex

REPORTS ARE fOJi FLICTlIfG
Grave Fears are Felt for the Safety of
Seymour and ItlcCalla. - '
London, June 20 The most distressing
reports are in circulation regarding Rear
Admiral Seymours expeditdon, which
started out to break through the Chinese
battle lines and save the foreigners in
Pekin. The worst fears for the Rear
Admiral and his men are entertained
here today. One rumor says that June
22nd, feyinours column was seen eight
miles southeast of IVkin. Another de
clares that the who-le force has been
annihilated by overwhelming .numbers
of Chinese seven miles west of Lang
Fang.
Advices from Japanese sources declare
that Seymour, commanding the 2.5(HJ
anen who started for IVkin June 10th, is
a prisoner in the hands of the Chinese
rebels. If Seymour has been captured.
Captain McCalla, of the United States
cruiser Neward, is also dn the enemy's
hands, as he was in command of the
detachment of 100 marines with Sey
mour's force.
Other Japanese reports repeat the
story, sent out yesterday, that all the
foreign ministers have left Pekin under
a guard of Chinese soldiers, but that
their destination is a complete mvstery
A careiui esaimaxe or tne numner and

Tarboro failed to score.
Bas.-i and Manners' battery work, Mc
