LONDON IS ADVISED.
A special dispatch received in Lon
don, from Shanghai, says:
“The allies entered Pekiu Au
gust 15tb. It is believed that
Yuan Shi Kai’s troops have gone
thence to Sben Si to protect the
empress, who, aooording to re

OLAD TIDINGS FOR BERLIN.
The following received from the
German consul at Shaughni was given
out by the Berlin foreign office at 1
p. m. Friday:
London, August. 17. —“The al
lies have entered l’ckiu without
fighting, the legations are relieved
and the foreigners are liberated.”
The collapse of Chinese resistance
is explained in dispatches from Shang
hai as being due to the failure of the
Chinese to flood the country below
Tung Chow. The earth-works con
nected with tho dam at the Pei 110
were unfinished and the canal at Tnug
Chow was full of water, facilitating
boat transport whou tho allies arrived
there.
Previous information which has been
received in Washington showed that

HOW ADVANCE WAS HADE.
Chinese General Ma Disappeared During
the Fighting at Yang Tiun.
Extracts from a long dispatch from
Tokio, Japan, describing the advance
of the allied forces from Tien Tsin
say Oeueral Ma disappeared during
the fighting at Yaug Tsuu; that the
immediate advance on Pekin was de
cided upon at a council of war in
which 385 offioers took part, held at
Yaug Tsun, August 2d, aud that the
adrance columns were drawn up in
the following order: Japanese, Rus
sians, British and American. The
French contingent was obliged to re
main at Yung Tsun on account of its'
inadequate commissariat.
miles from Pekin. After a halt of
three days for rest and preparation
the army attacked the capital.
Contrary to the press reports, Con
snl Fowler’s dispatch shows that the
attack on the city met with strong re
sistance. The Japanese force engaged
with the advance numbering 10,000
men.
The president was overjoyed on
hearing the news of the safety of
Minister Conger and his associates.
He has been hopeful all along that
their resene from the perilous position,
iu which they have been for so long,
would be successfully accomplished.
Friday’s news confirms that hope and
brings a feeling of great relief to him.
The Germau press, while express
ing joy at the happy discharge of one
part of the program, the papers point
out that there is much left to do. Tho
Berliner Post says:
“A great thing has been done, but
a greater must be done before the al
lied powers will be satisfied. It re
mains to obtain redress for attacks
upon the legations aud other wrongs,
particularly the assassination of the
German minister, aud to install a gov
ernment which will punish the guilty
and give guarantees against a recur
rence of similar crimes.”
The National Zeitung, The Freis
siuige Zeitung and The Vossiohe Zei
tung, express themselves iu a similar
strain.
Referring to a number of special
dispatches appearing in German pa
pers, which claim that the United
States government, new that the mem
bers of the foreign legations aro re
lieved, is about to withdraw from the
international undertaking, a high offi
cial of the German foreign office said:
“The Washington government has
assured the other powers of its willing
ness to co-operate in carrying out a
joint programme. This assurance bp.s
sufficed so far and will continue to suf
fice in spite of newspaper stories to
the contrary.”
John B. Jackson, United States
charge d’affaires in Berlin, when his
attention was called to the specials,
said:
“The United States government has
acted with the greatest harmony re
garding China with Germany from the
outset. In fact, up to Pekin the pow
ers are all agreed, but beyond that no
agreement has evea been attempted.
The future must be left to new diplo
matic negotiations.”
WILL PROTECT NATIVE CHRISTIANS.
A cabinet official said that the native
Christians in China, said to number
several thousand, will be included in
any arrangement made between this
government aud China incident to the
cessation of hostilities.
At the present stage of the Chinese
situation this subject has not yet been
seriously discussed by the cabinet, but
there is no doubt, according to this
member, that the United States is in
honor bound to protect them and will
sacredly look out for their security.
It was stated that, whild the matter
has not been formally considered, the
indemnity to be collected by the
United States will be not only for the
families of the victims, but also prob
ably to compensate this government
for the expense it has been put to in
prosecuting the campaign.

J. G. INGALLS DEAD
Former United States Senator
Dies at Las Vegas, New Mexico.
HIS CAREER A DISTINGUISHED ONE
Celebrated Far and Wide a* Parliamen
tarian, Orator, Journalist
aud Lecturer.
Former United States Senator John
J. Ingalls, of Kansas, died at East Las
Yegas, New Mexico, at 2:25 a. m.
Thursday. He was surrounded by his
family.
Senator Ingalls’ illness dated from
March, 1899, when at Washington his
throat began troubling him. He Work
ed steadily writing political articles
for newspapers throughout the coun
try. He was treated by several spec
ialists, but received no relief, and on
their advice returned with his family
to Atchison. At home he grew no
better. Ten months ago he sought
another change of climate, traveling
through New Mexico.
The remains of ex Senator lugalls
were started for Atchison, Kas., his
late home, Thursday afternoon, ac
companied by Mrs. Ingalls and her
youngest son, Sheffield.
In accordance with a special request
of Senator Ingalls every feature of the
funeral will be simple.
Senator Ingalls has been growing
weaker gradually for some time from
inability to assimilate his food, and
there were also heart complications.
John James Ingalls was born in
Middleton, Essex county, Mass., De
cember 29, 1833. Though a New Eng
lander by birth, he has been so closely
identified with western affairs for
more than forty years, that he is gen
erally believed to be a native of
Kansas.
Mr. Ingalls’ original American an
cestor, Edmund Ingalls, was the first
settler of Lynn, Mass., and members
of his family performed distinguished
services in the French and Indian war
of the revolution.
His father was noted for many in
ventions, tho most important of which
revolutionized the manufacture of
shoes.
Mr. Ingalls attended private schools
in Haverhill and entered Williams
college, from which he graduated iu
1855. lie immediately began the
study of law and was admitted to tho
bar in 1857. The following year ho
moved to Atchisou, Kas., and made
that city his home ever after. His
professional success was rapid, aud,
beiug a man of strong personality, he
was soon a power in politics.
In 1859 he w'as a delegate to the
Wyandotte convention, which framed
the first state constitution of Kansas.
In 1860 he served as secretary of the
territorial council, in 1861 he w r as ap
pointed secretary of the state senate,
arid in 1862 he was elected state sena
tor. In the latter year Mr. Ingalls
was also the Republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, but was defeated.
Mr. Ingalls then entered the news
paper field and was editor of the Atch
issn Champion for three years. In
1863-65 he w'as judge advocate of the
state militia, with rank of major and
lieutenant colonel, doing duty on the
frontier.
Once again Mr. Ingalls found him
self the unsuccessful candidate for
lieutenant governor in the fctate cam
paign of 1864. Following this second
defeat, he devoted the next nine years
entirely to his law practice and jour
nalism.
He was electod to the United States
senate in 1873, aud served, by re-elec
tion, eighteen successive years.
As senator, Ingalls was a pictur
esque figure. He was a fearless cham
pion of every cause he espoused, and
whenever it was know* that he would
speak the senate chamber was filled to
overflowing.
From 1889 to 1891 Mr. Ingalls was
president pro tern, of the senate.
Senator Ingalls a few years ago re
tired from politics and devoted him
self to farming and writing for the
daily press and magazines.
Mr. Ingalls married September 27,
1865, in Atchison, Anna Louisa Ches
brough, of New York city. Eleven
children, four sons and seven daugh
ters, have brightened the Ingalls
household.
CONVICT DIED SUSPICIOUSLY.
Was Chained to h Tree, Whipped Severely

Convict Ward, a white man serving
a term in the convict camp on R. H.
Clark’s plantation, in the lower end of
Elbert county, Ga., died while chained
to a tree last week and an investiga
iion is now being made.
News of the death reached Elbertou
through a messenger from the Clark
convict camp. Ward, so the story goes,
had been claimiug to be sick and iu
that way escaped work. The camp
boss became convinced that the con
vict was playing off and began apply
