The statement that the commander of the British troops in China has . stopped stop-ped British reinforcements arriving at Hongkong from proceeding further north is taken as an indication that the British government anticipates that the diplomatists will very shortly take the place now occupied by the military.

This was the date on which the allied army attacked and entered Pekin. Many dispatches have been tent by General Corbin since that date. and the delay in their delivery is aston ishing, even with the strange condi tions which have existed in China Like the Congor dispatches, the one from General Chaffee ia undated. The only explanation that can be made aa to this lack of dates is that the Chinese are holding back and tampering with the messagea. RESCUED NONETOO SOON.

HELD UP IN BOXCAR- Kansas Wheat Crop Larger roa-ls tun Haul. Than Ita II- The extensive yards of the Santa Fe railroad in Argentine, Kansas, are almost al-most exclusively occupied with cars of wheat which it is impossible to move. It is estimated that there are twenty r.llesof wheat cars there blockaded. The trouble is said to be due to the Inability of the Chicago division of the" road to handle the great inflow of wheat from the various branch lines in Kansas. The difficulty is not so much from a car famine as it ia due to the lack of motive power to keep the lines cleared. All the other roads in Kansas are unable to handle the wheat offered. All the elevators are full and farm ers are dumping wheat in big piles on the ground near the railroad stations. Boer War Nearly Over. Mr. Kruger and Mr. Steyn have gone to Barberton.

The general land office has withdrawn with-drawn four townships at the Shoshone Falls and Blue Lakes Snake river region, re-gion, in southern Idaho, for a national park.

Ing the first three ' weeks of the bombardment, bom-bardment, 400 a day. Bucketsful of bullets were gathered in the grounds Four hundred and fourteen persons lived in the compound through the greater part of the siege.

Fifty-four Fifty-four marines and sailors were killed and 113 wounded. Gilbert E. Reid, who was wounded in the foot, was the only American civilian injured. Two foreign women were wounded. The imprisoned legationers looked like a company of invalids. Every part of the enclosure testified to their experiences. There was a plot of new graves headed with wooden crosses, including the graves of five children. At the second secretary's house was the hospital filled with invalids. At one .time all but four men of the Japanese contingent had been in the bospital( wounded. ; There were several caves roofed with timbers, heaped over with earth, which served as bomb-proofs. . - The bulletin board was covered with significant notices. For instance: "As there is likely to be a severe droping fire today, women and children are forbidden to walk about the grounds." Here is another: "Owing to the small supply of vegetables vege-tables and eggs, the market will be open only from 9 to 10 hereafter. All horse meat inspected by a physician." The bravery of the women was noteworthy. note-worthy. They became so accustomed to the fire that it is difficult to restrain, them from walking about the grounds at all times. . When a proposal was made to petition peti-tion theTsung-li-Yaraen for vegetables some 'said they would rather starve than take help from that quarter. The Yamen's food supply was a farce, only sufficient for one day. Whenmeatwas asked for, the reply was that this could not be furnished, because a state of war existed in Pekin. The Tsung-li-Yamen posted a proclamation procla-mation asking the people to kill all foreigners, as the latter had made war on China in attacking the forts at Taku. " The legations were fiercely attacked from July 17th to July 25th. At the latter date a nominal truce was agreed to and extended to August 3rd, although al-though the Chinese repeatedly violated It. There was considerable rifle fire from August 3rd to August 11th, and then the Chinese mounted smoothbores. smooth-bores. The mainstay of the foreigners was an old gun used by the British in 1860, which was found in a junk shop by Mitchell,' the American gunner. This was mounted on a Russian carriage car-riage found by an Italian. Ammunition Ammuni-tion was fitted to it and it was christened the "International Gun."
