Children Starving. Pretoria, Ang. 1.—Mrs. Botha was tho guest of Lord Roberts at dinner last evening. The Boer animosity to Presi dent Kruger grows ai>ace becauso of the fact that he and his officials are persuad ing tho people that tho South African republican paper mouey is as good os Bauk of England notes, because it is based on inalienablo state securities, oven though tho state should be con quered. As the English have not recog nized this contention, many burghers have been ruined, and much misery pre vails. The wives and children of the poorer Boers are almost starving. General Botha’s force is kept together by extraordinary inventions. This cor respondent has seen an official circular sayiug that Lord Roberts was forced to retreat south of the Vaal anil that Lady Roberts escaped in a txillooii. SPACE ALLOTMENT BEGINS.

His Antecedents and Movements Prior to the Assassination. Florence, Aug. 1.—Following is a detailed account of the antecedents of Gaetano Bressi, the assassin of King Humbert, and of his movomonts prior to tho assassination: . Bressi was born Nov. 10, 1809, in Co- jano, 1 mile from Prato and 15 miles north of Florence. Ho began work as a shoemaker, but stndiod In a technologi cal school at Prato for a time anil tons became a weaver, which occupation ho followed for eight years at Labroconcs factory in Prato. After a strike in 1802 he left Prato and went to work in tho Uuuiuis facto ries at Florence. A year lator ho re turned to Prato, where he was employed in the Zelonis mill. Ho innst bavo boon of a restless, rov- ing disposition, for ho left Prato again for Lucca on Jan. 22, 1898, and sailed from Genoa for Now York on Feb. of tho same year. Brosci returned to Prato on June 4, last, anil about that time tho Italian consul in New York advised the authori ties in Italy that Brosci had interested himself in an anarchist newspaper pub lished at Paterson, N. J. Brosci traveled from New York via Paris and on Juno 14 applied to the mu nicipal authorities of Prato for a birth certlficato that he might secure a permit to cipry anus. This was refused beoanso of his charaoter and past offenses which ho had committed against the munici pality. On June 16 be secured a pass port for Now York, describing himself as a shoemaker. On tho evening of July 18 he took the train for Milan via Bologna. Brosci Is tall and slender, with an olive complex ion, dark oyes and a slight moustache WOULD WHIP His "FATHER.

Shanghai, Ang. 1.—Th^ 1 allies bavo begun tho ndvauco from Tien Tsin, is assumed that the American, British and Japanese are taking port in this for ward movement, whother other nation, alitios or not. An advance baso will probably bo established 20 or 80 miles nearer Peking and supplies will be as sembled preparatory to a direot 3troko at the capital. Of the 60,000 allies debarked at Pe Chi Li ports, English military observ ers consider that 80,000 are available for an ndvanco beyond Tien Tsin. The Chinese forces, according to the vague gatherings of the allies’ intelligence) offi cers, np to July 37, wer&disposed in great arc 30 miles long and distant 1 ,6 miles. The numbers and exact l 10 or loca tion of tho several divisions are utterly unknown. Tho Pel Ho river is blockaded by sunken stone laden jnnks for 20 miles beyond Tien Tain, and further up, aooording to Chineso spies of tho allies, a dam has been constructed for the pur pose of flooding tho low lying expanse of country. First Probable Engagement. Tho first engagement of the relief ex pedition will probably be at Pei Tang, where the viceroy of Yulu personally commands. Tho following information was brought to Tien Tsin Wednesday, July by a Chineso missionary student who was sent to tho British legation at Pe king. He was unablo to deliver the message entrusted to him and left Pe king July 18. He saw a few troops be tween Peking and Yang Tsuu, No works had been constructed. Food in Peking was scaroe and the city would bo quite unable to enduio a siege. Among the scraps of information brought by another courier who left Po king July 14 was tho fact that General Ma, a notable Boxer chief, hail bech killed by tho legationers.

A. H. Cardin of Crit tenden county was nominated for gov- ernor. General Chaffee Ordered to Move on Peking Without Dcluy. Tien Tsiy, July 30, via Ciie Foo, July and Shanghai, Aug. 1.—Tho Ameri can commander ha9 received orders from ‘Washington not to delay tho advance on Peking. He was also informed that heavy reinforcements are enronte. Great activity is noticeable at Jap anese headquarters. The present prepa rations are being harried. It is ex tremely unlikely that either tho Jap anese or the British intend to be left be hind tiM Americans, though tho British preparations are a long way from com pleteness. The Japanese organization, on the other hand, excites the admira tion of all. Tho total strength of the allies here is 17,003. Reiuforoomonts are arriving daily. TO COMMAND AT SHANGHAI. Quality It is the high quality of Royal Baking Powder that has estab lished its great and world-wide reputation. Every house T wife knows she can rely upon it; that it makes the bread and biscuit more delicious and whole-- some—always the finest that can be baked. ••) It is economy and every way better to use the Royal, whose ^ work • is always certain, never experimental. Never experiment with so important an article as the human food There are many imitation baking powders, made from alum. They may cost less per pound, but their use is at the cost oi health.

Tho objective port of these troops is probably Tatra, China, but tho present orders re ceived “To Department of the Philip pines. ’’ When the vessel is 8 miles out side the heads the sealed orders will bo opened and the ultimate destination known. Ordered to Tien Tsin. Washington, Aug. 1.—A cablegram to the navy department from Admiral Remoy ot Taku states that Major Bid dle's command has boon ordered to Tien Tsin. This command consists of 225 marines, who (ailed from San Francisco on the Grant with General Chaffee and the Sixth cavalry. Washington, Aug. 1.—Tho safety of the ministers at Peking being tempora rily assured, the attention qf the gov ernment is now being directed towanj two objects; first, to effect the perma nent safety of the ministers by briugiug thorn away from Peking, and second, to hastou tho advance on the Chinese capital. Tho Chiuese government is employing every dovice diplomatically, to prevent the forward movement of the international column. Li Hung Chang is the main reliance to encompass this purpose, but be is hampered by the ob- tnseness of tho Peking officials. \ Our goverumeht is willing to render such assistance as it properly can, but it must be up.ni the terms already laid dowff. It is said hero_ that the one possible means of stopping the forward move ment of tho column within toe roach of the Chineso government is an instant oompliauce with the first demands of the powers, namely, that tho ministers be put iu free communication with their government. It has been suggested to the authorities that they send an em bassy immediately to Tien Tsin, clothed witli full authority to deul with the sit uation and given unlimited power to afford reparation for injuries inflicted upon thqr internationals, (f this is pre- coded by the release of tile ministers from the siege there is a possibility that the powers temporarily will suspond tho military movement which may iu the end Is) rendered unnecessary if the em bassy meets the demands of Europe aud America. / . Meanwhile Admiral Rcmey cables that more marines—those who crossed on the Grant, under Major Biddle, are being sent to Tien Tsin, indicating the intention of the military commanders there to make an early start. Tho advices from Li Hung Chang, brought to the state department bv Min ister Wn, affords the strongest evidence of the desire of the Chineso government to escape fi rn its present predicament and certaic - seem to afford a reasona ble guaran 'e for the bodily safety of tho legation rs, pending tho outcome of conditions respecting tho abandonment of the Peking campaign. Conditions Are No Better Than In Eu rope—Wilt Try to Change Them by Fair .Means —If Unsuccessful Will Adopt Other -Methods. Patterson, N, J., July 81.—There was a meeting of anarchists here, al which tho killing of King Humbert was indorsed. A reporter who sought ad mittance was welcomed as it was said that theqe auorebists wanted tho whole world to know their sentiments. The speaker at tho meeting was Ernest A. Orevalia, 21 years of age. In the course of an impassioned address he said: “We are members of the group of an archists to which Bressi belonged. He is a marfyr. He has done what we would have bad him do. Ask me, do we indorse the killing of King Hnm- bert ? I will answer tho question before you ask it. Of course we do. It jyos not our instruction to Bressi to kill, but ho has done what ho knew to be right, and we will sustain him and givo him our sympathy. Was Humbert over kind ? No. Was ho good to the poor? He was u monarch, and all mou- No. Encampment Assured.

They are both inhuman. They are inhumun because they Bre monarch!. They would not consent to take the places on tho thrones wer^thoy not in human. It is a republic that we want aud it is a republic that anarchists in every country will have.” Then came an implied threat against * high'officials iu this country when the young man shouted: “They have run us ont of Italy, whore' to have stayed would have been to starve and we bavo como here. Thing- are no better here. We are treated like • dogs in the mills. Wo ore considered human by Americans. We do not starve, but there is a worso death than starvation. It is neglect Who Is re sponsible for this government? We will try to hotter it by fair means, and if we can’t succeed, thou we will resort to other methods.” Hoyt Released.
