BREADSTUFF America Would Be Called Upon to Supply Provisions—Exports of Manu factured Goods Would Be Cut Off, However—lnteresting Statistics. Washington, July 9.—“ War with China w ould certainly be detrimental to American trade with that empire. ’ ’ This statement was made by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, and he continued: “For the time being American trade would be destroyed because the mer i chant would not be able to reach the interior of the Celestial empire with his goods. Os course there would be a spe cial demand for wheat, oats, breadstuffs, horses and mules and the United States would have to meet the demand of the allied armies, consequently the exporta tion of cereals and animals would be increased many fold. “On the other hand, there would be a marked falling off in general trade, especially in such exports as cotton manufactures, kerosene oil, iron and steel, manufactures, tobacco, timber manufactures, parts of clocks, books, perfumery and cosmetics, scientific in struments, patent medicines, paper, car riages and leather. “The total value of these articles of export in 1898 was $9,296,521. The value of wheat exported to China has averaged barely SIOO,OOO a year for sev eral years. “On the other hand, the yield of wheat flour exported in 1898 to Hong- Kong, much of which undoubtedly went into China, amounted to $3,885,727. The total value of our agricultural exports to Chinese ports in 1898 amounted t05695,- 549, the principal item being raw cot ton, flour, geusang, malt liquors, canned beef, milk, canned fruits and leaf to bacco. “To show how remarkable has been the growth of our trade with China it is only necessary to give a few statistics as to commercial relations for ten years. From 1889 to 1899 there was a gain of $13,329,168. The increase was almost entirely in exports, which advanced in value from $2,791,(28 in 1889 to $i4,493,- 440 in 1899. Our imports for 1899 amounting to $18,619,268, were only slightly larger than in 1889, when a value of $17,028,412 was exported. “Taking these figures as a basis, it is easy to see that war would, for the time being, increase agricultural exports be yond the average of 5 per cent for the past ten years, but would practically stop the exportation to China of other American products that in ten years has averaged 95 per cent. War would inter fere with import trade from China which, from 1894 to 1898, inclusive, averaged annually $20,086,832. “The principal commodities were tea, $7,603,725; raw silks, $5,062,825, and wool raw, $1,460,855. “Meats for the allied army in China would probably have to be obtained from Australia. The difficulty in warm cli mates is to keep the carcasses of animals cool. Our soldiers in Manila are fed on fresh meat, but it is due to the recent erection of a fine refrigerator at that point.” THE WALKER-RHEA CONTEST They May Again Be Rival Candidates For Congress. Knoxville, July 9.—The celebrated Walker-Rhea congressional contest in the ninth Virginia district will be re opened in another chapter at an early date. Judge W. F. Rhea has announced he will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination. General James A. Walker has just announced he will be in the race for the Republican nomination. The respective conventions will be held soon. These men were candidates two years ago. Judge Rhea was declared elected and General Walker contested the seat. A feature of the contest was a bloody fight at Bristol during the time the evidence was being taken. CANNON CLUBBED TO DEATH Four Young Men In Jail Charged With Killing Him. Dublin, Ga., July 9. —William Ford ham, Jack Haskin, Jesse Webb and George Davis, four young men from Howard’s district, this county, were brought here and lodged in jail on a charge of voluntary manslaughter. The four young men, in company with Gan non and his father, Ben Cannon, were at Fordham’s store and got into a diffi culty. Young Cannon was badly beaten with sticks and sandbags, the injuries in flicted being such as to cause death in a few hours. All Sugars Advanced 10 Points. New York, July 9.—The American Sugar Refining company has advanced all refined sugars 10 points. MINISTERS ABE ALL SAFE Minister Wu Is Advised ol the Situation In the City of Peking. ALL ATTACKS REPULSED Troops Hud Boxers Lose Heavily In Every Attempt to Take Foreigners’ Positions Legations Protected By Imperial Troops—Situation Is lie* ported More Hopeful. Shanghai, July 9. The Chinese newspapers assert that Prince Ching’d troops have arrived at Peking to re victual the Europeans and defend them against the rebels. Washington, July 9. —The following dispatch has been received by Minister Wu from Sheng, director general of the imperial telegraphs at Shanghai: “Two legations in Peking still pre served. All ministers safe. Rebellious troops and rioters make attacks, but suffer many losses. Imperial troops are protected, but meet with difficulty isl doing so. It is feared that food and ammunition are exhausted.” Prince Ching Protects Legations. London, July 9.—Admiral Bunce has sent a telegram to the admiralty de partment from Taku, under date of July 7, to the effect that there are grounds for hoping that Prince Ching, with his army, is at Peking, protecting the lega tions against Prince Tuan, his army and the Boxers. Washington, July 9.—Though fear ful of giving false encouragemedt, ths state department officials are bound to admit that there is more reason now for hope respecting the welfare of the lega tioners at Peking. Minister Wu’s ca blegram from Cheng, taken in connec tion with the report of Admiral Bruce from Tien Tsin, has done much to en courage this hopeful feeling. Minister Wu says Prince Cheng who, according to Admiral Bruce, is attacking the Boxers, is not only the head of the tsung li yamon. but is also commandant of one of the Peking garrisons. There are several garrisons in Peking, each composed of a separate nationality, and Cheng commands the Manchu force. At last advices this force comprised about 10, 000 soldiers. SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL. Prince Ching’s Attitude Means the Rescue of the Legations. London, July 9. —The more hopeful feeling generated by Saturday’s news from Peking has been further strength ened by Rear Amiral Bruce’s indorse ment of the rumors that Prince Ching, who is said to be heading a counter rev olution at Peking, is fighting in behalf of the legations against the usurper, Prince Tuan. If the admiral’s hope that Prince Ch ing, with his army, is defend ing the legations at Peking against Prince Tuan turns out to be well founded, this turn of events will be of the utmost importance, as it is felt here in some such division among the Chinese themselves lies the best hope for the safety of the foreigners. If the powers can find allies in China itself it will ma terially facilitate the task of restoring order, and those acquainted with the country believe that if the diplomats are able to induce such a man as Li Hung Chang-or Chang Ti Tung to send forces to the assistance of Prince Ching, the hordes of revolutionists will disperse as quickly as they have collected aud away to Peking will be opened without great delay. With all due allowance for the uncer tainty in regard for the reliability, the au thorities here feel that the latest messages from the far east give distinct hope. If, as suggested, the native sym pathizers are able to keep the beseiged legation reasonably supplied with pro visions, the foreign colony may yet es cape destruction. Special Cabinet Meeting. ,"2 Washington, July 9.—On the return of Secretary Long and Attorney General Griggs to Washington Secretary Hay availed himself of the opportunity to hold a cabinet meeting. The Chinese situation was discussed, but it was stated nothing important had developed. DOCKING OF THE OREGON. Constructor Hobson Will Supervise the Repairs at Kurea. Washington, July 9.—Unless inter national complications should arise, Sec retary Long will not order the battle ship Oregon to proceed to Taku when her repairs have been completed. Upon arrival at Kurea, for docking, Captain Wilde, commanding, will order a board of survey to determine what repairs are necessary. It may be that Naval Con structor Hobson, who is undergoing treatment at Yokohama, will go to Kurea to supervise the repairs. It is understood the Oregon will be retained in China should the International situa tion require her presence. Oregon at Che Foo. Washington, July 9.—The navy de partment has been informed that the Oregon has arrived at Che Foo. She will start for Kurea, Japan, to dock July 10 or I'3. Cotton Mill Projected.

Walker, commanding the South Caro lina division of the United Confederate veterans, has issued orders for a re union of the old soldiers of the state at Greenwood, commencing Aug. 1. u ‘ - L / <.. .' ' ■ Ki ALLIED FORCES WILL NUMBER 100,000 MEN L Powers Are Hurrying Rein forcements to China. AMERICA TO SEO 11,000 Question of Commander—lt Is Believed That Japanese Officer Will Be Su preme—Russia Will Probably Object to This Plan of the Powers. Yokohama, July 9.—The government has decided to dispatch 28,000 men and 5,000 horses to China. The newspapers in indorsing this action point out that should the foreign ers at Peking perish, Japan could not be absolved from blame. Kiel, July 9. —The German Asiatic squadron has sailed for China. Prince Henry of Prussia and the emperor wit nessed the departure. Washington, July 9. —An allied force of nearly 100,000 men will be in China within a few weeks. The figures are larger than given heretofore, but are based on better in formation which has just reached here. The allies at Taku and at Tien Tsin now number 18,000 men. The reinforcements under orders consist of 19,000 Japanese troops, 15,000 Germans, 13,000 Russians, 11,000 Americans, 10,000 British, 8,000 French and 3,000 Italians. It is learned that the several govern ments desiring an expression as to the number of men required to establish or der in China, recently asked the ad mirals at Taku to make an estimate. The admirals consulted together and the highest estimate seems to have been made by the Japanese officer, who placed the number at between 70,000 and 100,- 000. The estimates of the British, Rus sian and German officers were smaller. As to that made by Admiral Kempff, the authorities decline to speak. But there is reason to believe that it was slightly less than the lowest figure of the Japanese commander. It may be that it is Admiral Kempff’s statement that has caused the officials to hesitate to urge the dispatch of troops to Taku until the arrival of the Japanese division and the Ninth infantry, which will bring the fighting strength of the allies to about 45,000. Upon the arrival of the Japanese division at Taku the question of the officer who will be placed in su preme command will naturally arise. The Japanese corpse will be commanded by a Japanese general, and so far as known here, he will be the ranking offi cer. Russia may not wish to permit Japan to have the preponderating forces and the commander also, and may send an officer with the rank of general to com mand her forces. He will, of course, rank with the Japanese officer. So far as this government is concerned it is willing to have any efficient officer in command, be he Russian or Japanese, provided the start of the expedition to relieve Peking is prompt. BATTLE BEFORE TIEN TSIN. Chinese Routed With Heavy Loss After Seven Hours’ Fighting. London, July 9.—The latest news from Tien Tsin is contained in a news agency message dated Friday, July 6, reporting a renewed Chinese attack that morning with 12 guns. The allied forces replied with the guns landed from the British first-class cruiser Terrible and a mixed force of 1,000 men made a sortie under cover of the fire of the naval bri gade and attacked the Chinese, who re tired after seven hours’ fighting. Earlier dispatches received show fight ing, notably on July 2 and July 3, when the Chinese developed unexpected strength and did considerable damage with artillery. At the bridge, near the French settlement, there was hard fight ing at close quarter. The Russians,with a Gatling gun, finally compelled the Chinese to retire, though they suffered heavily. The operations, however,were in no way decisive, the Chinesebeing still full of fight. About 500 men were wounded in the fighting at Tien Tsin. Chinese Fortify the Native City. Che Foo, July 9. Ten thousand Chinese under General Nieh appeared outside of Tien Tsin on Wednesday and reoccupied the eastern arsenal. The Chinese are fortifying the native city of Tien Tsin. Boxers influence is increasing in Shan Tung provinces. The Christians at Chi nan Fu have been called on to renounce their faith. The French consul reports that the Chin Chou Fu orphanage has been pillaged. An inflammable placard has been posted in the Che Foo native city. The cruiser Brooklyn called here, 45 hours from Nagasaki and proceeded to Taku. The Logan, bearing the Ninth regi ment of United States infantry, passed Che Foo on Friday on her way to Taku. Hsu Tung Slain. Shanghai, July 9.—A message sent from Wei Hai Wei states that the situa tion is still grave, for the Boxers, al though they have been mowed down by the hundreds, still believe themselves invulnerable. Boxer emissaries are com ing south in disguise and enlisting fol lowers. Hsu Tung, the most determined hater of foreigners in Peking and tutor of the heir apparent, has been murdered with his whole household of 300 persons while resisting Boxer pillagers. Li Ping Heng, the anti-foreign admiral on the Yang Tse, has returned to Ymi Chow Huan.
