a THE WORST IS NOW KNOWN Murder of Foreigners In Pekin Is OHlcially Announced. MESSAGE FROM SHAN TUNG A List of Foreign Ministers and Attachesof Legations In Pekin Who Were Victims of the Fanatical Boxers. An official telegram was received at Shanghai Sunday night from the gov ernor of Shan Tung stating that a breach was made in the wall of the British logation at Pekin after a gallaut defense ami when all the ammunition hn<l givon out. All foreigners were killed. BUTCHERY WAS COMPLETE. The Shanghai correspondent of the London Daily Express, on the alleged authority of couriers who brought the etory, gives a very sensational ac count. He says: “Maddened with hunger, after hav ing been without food for many days, the members of the legations and the guards made a sortie on tho night of June 110th and killed 200 Chinese in nu unexpected attack. General Tung Full Siang, enraged over tho loss of so many men, brought up heavy guns and Prince Tuau gave tho order that every foreigner must be destroyed. His words were: “Destroy every foreign vestige and make China a sealed book to all west ern powers.” The following is a list of the foreign ministers nad attaches of tho legations at Pekin: United States—Edwin H. Conger, Minister; H. G. Sq jiers, Secretary of Legation; W. E. Bainbridge, Secoud Secretary; F. D. Cheshire, Interpreter; Mrs. M. S.

Portugal—F. A. Galhardo, Minister. The European governments have received from their respective repre sentative at Sbanghafa dispatch from the governor of Shan Tung, dated July 7th, reporting that tbe European troops made a sortio from Pekin and killed 20J of General Tung Fuh Siaug’s forces and that the boxers were mounting gnus to make a breach in the defenses. Under date of July 12th the gov ernor of Shang Tung wired ns follows: “Native soldiers and boxers Lave been atiacking the legations for some hours, but have not yet effected au en trance. They are now all bombarding with cannon to make a breach for a heavy ons'aught. I fear that all the ministers, and the government as well, aro in great danger. The gov ernment is intensely anxious.” Finally came the news from Shang hai that a breach had been made and .\E YORK DEMOCRATS lircln Wo: k of Campaign at Hoffman lloutu Headquarter*. The Democratic state campaign managers of New York began work in earnest Tuesday at their Hoffman house headquarters tinder the direc tion of Chairman James K. McGuire. The make-up of the executive com mittee is such that the responsibility for the success or failure of the cam paign in the state rests upon Mr. Croker and his friends. Tho name of the three leaders—Hill, Croker and McLaughlin—head the committee and these gentlemen will bury their differences until after elec tion day.. .. the foreigners killed. All the dates probably refer to a much earlier period, but the presumption is that the suc cessive dispatches give an outline of what has happened. The Europeans having reached the end of their re sources, made a desperate sortie and then bravely met their fate. Tho de tails of the horrible story will proba bly never be known. GOOD WORK AT TIEN TSIN. Admiral Selymonr’s dispatchs give the latest news regarding the situation at Tien Tsin. Telegrams to the Asso ciated Press show that the operations on July 11th were a brilliant success. The Japanese cavalry and a mobile mounted battery did splendid work. It was unfortunate that the allies did not have more cavalry to purse the Hying enemy. Four hundred Chinese were killed and six guns captured. At uocu the settlements were again vici ously shelled from the native city and the hospitals and other buildings were repeatedly hit. The moral effect of the successes of the allied forces upon the Chinese is believed to be very great. RUSSIAN ENVOY BOILED TO DEATH. A dispatch to The Chicago Record from St. Petersburg, July 11, via Paris, July 14, says: The czar has received with great emotion the dread ful dotails of the catastrophe at Pekin. Tears coursed down his majesty’s cheeks as he read the cablegram from. Admiral Alexieff, at Port Arthur, con firming the horrible details of the assassination of M. DeGiers, which merely confirms rumors that had al ready reached Russia. The admiral declares that the Rus siau envoy was dragged through the streets by the Boxers, insulted, beaten and tortured, and even thrown into a great kettle and boiled to death. Then tho remains were thrown to the dogs. While M. DeGiers was being disposed of, the fanatieal mob danced around the caldron. Mme. DeGiers, Admiral AlexiefFs advices declare, suffered a fate wcae than death aud was beaten and tor tured with sharp sticks until life was extinct. _ have been tortured fiendishly until death ended their sufferings. M. De Giers and his legation officials resisted desperately and his brave body guard killed many of the attacking mob. In the midst of his tortures the envoy is said to have heroically proclaimed his faith in Christianity, encouraged by the wife who so soon shared his mar tyrdom. The announcement of this intelli gence to tlio relatives of the Russian martyrs in China was accompanied by heartrending scenes. Wli GETS ANSWER. Cablegram From sheng at Shang hai is Hrief and Is Couched In Seemingly Evasive Terms. Such news as reached Washington Sunday from China was distinctly bad. It consisted of a cablegram to Miuister Wu, from Sheng, the impe rial director of posts and telegraphs at Shanghai, oiul, according to the min ister, was in reply to the urgent mes sage he himself had seut Saturday to that official asking him to try to secure some news from the Chiuese capital. This cablegram Mr. Wu regarded as of sufficient importance tQ carry in person to Secretary Ilay, who was waiting at his home for news. The message as resolved from the cipher was as follows: “Pekin news of July 7th says that General Tuan Fuh Siaug, in disobedi ence of imperial orders, was about to use gun a. Legations aud the govern ment will be in peril.” There still remains a suspicion that, while Mr. Wu is undoubtedly acting with sincerity, Bheug, who is repre sented to boa clever and adroit man, may kuow more of the actual happen ings at Pekin that he is willing to re veal at once. EUROPE DEMANDS REVENUE. Wild Talk of llurnliig Pekin anil Hang ing the Kmpreaa uml Prince Tuan. European journals are indulging-in a great deal of wild talk, crediting the powers with having decided to lay Pekin in ashes, remove the capital to Canton and hang the empress and Prince Tuan, but the writeis fail to take into acoonnt the difficulties which would attend such undertakings. However, the chancellories fully recognize the magnitude of the task confronting the great powers. Asa matter of fact, as has already been pointed out, the only thought for the moment of the powers is how to best reach Pekin.- Far From It. “What did Scumins say when yon told him of our scheme to make him alderman?” asked the political leader. “It took him clean oft his legs, said the faithful henchman. “He wanted time to think about it.” “In a quandary, was be?” “No; be was in a saloon. ’’-—Chicago Tribune.

The department of state has received a dispatch from Consul Goodnow, at Shauhai, saying that the governor of Shan Tung wires that the boxers and soldiers were bombarding the lega tions for a final attack upon the 7th of July. He is extremely auxious for the safety of the ministers and friendly Chinese in Pekin. The consul adds that fears for the worst are generally entertained. The state department has aho re vived a dispatch from Consul McWade at Canton, saving that the viceroy, Li Hung Chang, has engaged quarters upou the Chinese steamer Apping, but that the date of his departure from the north is still undecided. Consnl General Goodnow’s message terribly depressed the officials here. All along they nave suspected that the various communications received from Chinese sources in Shanghai have been prepar ing the way for the announcement of the extermination of the foreign minis ters aud their wives, children, attach es, dependents and guards. The consul general’s message, it is understood, is but a repetition of the latest press reports from Shanghai, but the state department has come to place a high estimate on Mr. Good now’s messages. It appreciates the fact that he does not send every piece of unreliable gossip afloat in the sen sational center where he is stationed, but uses good judgment in sifting out the probable from the other kind of news. Moreover, his advice this time is from the Chinese governor of the province wherein Shanghai is situated. It is bard to conceive of an adequate reason for falsification of the faots by that official in the direction of this re port. Therefore the state department, which has all along been hopeful of the ultimate rescue of the ministers at Pekin, has now joined European chan cellories in the belief that they have all been killed. DATE OF NOTIFICATION. Committee Will Call On liryan and Stev enson at In<liiimi>oll* 9 August 8. William Jennings Bryan aud Adlai E. Stevenson will be formally notified of their selection as the presidential and vice presidential nominees of the Democratic party August 8, at Indiau auolis, Ind. Information to this effect ut. u icooiveu by iiepresentativo Richardson, of Tennessee, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, from Senator Jones, the national chairman. Mr. Richardson will make the speech of notification to Mr. Bryan, and Governor Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado, that to Mr. Stevenson. A Lincoln special says: The date, August Bth, on which Mr. Bryan is to receive official notification of his nom ination by the Democratic committee is satisfactory to him. It is doubtful if he will leave Lincoln much before that time, though he does not himself know just what his programme will be. Ho does not, however, expect to make any speeches in advance of his notifi cation. Mr. Bryan is spending much of the time in his library with his stenographer, working on material for the campaign. Charles A. Towne has been with him most of the time. BOLOS FOUGHT FEROCIOUSLY. Americans Were Forced To Encage In Iland-to-Hand Fight With Filipinos. The war department has received an interesting report from Captain George A. Dodd, of the Third cavalry, in re gard to the operations in northwestern Luzon with troop F, of that regiment, from April Bth to May 3rd last. Captain Dodd’s force, consisting of eighty-seven men and ninety-three horses, left Vigau on April Bth and headed northward. Early on the morning of the 15th his command en countered a large party of insurgents under Gregorio Aglihay in the moun tains near Badoc. In a fierce fight, lasting an hour, forty-nine iusurrectos were killed-,four were mortally wounded and forty-four were made prisoners. The affray took place in a thick jungle which made the movements of the soldiers very diffi cult. The command then proceeded to hunt down a large body of insur gents which was believed to be some where in the vicinity of Badoc. At daylight on the 25th instant they met tLeir quarry and another sharp en gagement took place. The "bolo men are said to have fought with great ferocity, and the troopers were obliged to put aside their carbines and close in with their revolvers in a hand to hand fight. In this fight 120 insurgents were killed outright and five captured with rifles and horses. Captain Dodd’s only casualty was a spear wound suffered by sergeant)E. R. Coppeck in the tightiug at close quar ters. This engagement, says the re port, practically squelched an attempt ed uprising iu Ilocos Norte. Next day the Filipinos were again at work in the fields. Captain Dodd’s command arrived back of Yigan on May 3d, hav ing covered a distance of 435 miles. Jspansse Lse of Aluminum. The Japanese are possibly U sln aluminum to-day than any tor eigu nation, for they are employing it to a large extent in their ship building* and it is rather a surprising fact that India supplies a great market for ~h 3 metal. Possibly the Oriental mind hails with joy anything! that will even In a small degree lighten the effort of life. At any rate, the native troops, in India, are perhaps more generally supplied with aluminum kits than any other soldiers in the world. The In dlan bazars are full of aluminum work that is far ahead of anything done in the west, for the metal workers of In dia are among the cleverest craftsmen of the world, and, through England, they can obtain aluminum cheaper than brass or copper. The same circumstances that havs kept aluminum out of our army have hampered the use of the metal ia culi nary utensils. German metallurgists long ago discovered the cheering fact that aluminum was non-poisonous in corrosion. In fact, one old gentleman with the courage of his convictions ex peri men ted, by mixing the aluminum corrosion with his food for a certain number of days and, finding himself allvo at the end of that time, triumph antly scored his point. Naturally, the harmlessness of tbo metoal should give It an advantage over the long cherish, ed copper in the kitchen, but for a long time the price was prohibitory and since that objection was removed tho manufacturers hare made the same mistake as in army equipment—that of using sheets too thin to resist dents in hard usage. One of the largest uses of the metal at present Is In the manu facture of covers for fruit jars, where Its chemical harmlessuess makes it pre ferable to zinc and tin, and the vari ous manufacturers find it impossible to supply the demand for these jar tops.
