' ' MINISTER VV U Th newt of the battle of Tien Tain as conveyed to the Chlneae minister early today. The minister followed the recital witn rayi aneuuuu, i"i"- i.k vnrHnlnna of asonisbruent and profound regret at the startling developments, xie ; ... with the detailed names of Americans killed and wounded," which appeared to remove ever Biiauun ui , .nd u'ked as to the various ot QUUl. fleers and their families. The outcome of the oattie n viewcu wnu u most concern. He spoke with a good j ..i n traAam. but asked to be ex- QtBl V cused from any public declaration on the subject. i. . v... nthpr legations and embassies a feeling of dismay prevailed. Although Vu will mase no puuuc utterances, u is asserted that the press is able to give what Is believed to be the aspect of the situation from a Chinese stand point. According to this view the move of the allied forces from the foreign settlement down the river upon the na tive walled city is not oniy umonu nate. but is fraught with the greatest danger. With the fate of the foreign legations and ministers, at Pekln still In doubt the allied forces might well have turned their attention to cutting their way to the rescue of their officials and citizens at the capital. ro ..f the- an k r cations of the day. made in an official quarter, Is that a commission be appointed to proceeu 10 China and investigate the facts of the present situation, thus giving a basis for Intelligent action. But the situa tion appears too desperate to await the glow process of a commission.' "REVENUE TODAY." London, July Iff.

The fate of the capital app-nus to threaten other towns like Vien 'iVn, I T.etoo and even Shantf'i.il. Hie de feat of the allied fort-pa' at Tipn Tsln seems to place the town in desperate straits, and if a retreat to Taku is ne tesMiated, observers consider that it will be likely to decide the policy of the wavering viceroys.

IS THE CONSTITUTION A MAN OR A WOMAN? DIVISION OF OPINION , AMONG COLORED VOTERS.
