melon aud fruit season, says the
Albany Herald, the growers pub-
begun Aug. 10, but uo word has come
through from Yaug Tsuu since Aug. 8.
on which date the Japanese commander,
lp a message to Tokio, said 20,000 Chi
nese were confronting the allies. The
Japanese losses at Pei Tsnng, Aug. G,
wero 300 killed and wounded. The Chi-
nese left 200 dead ou the field.
The object of Chinese diplomacy, as it
appears from the great effort being made
in Loudon and at the continental Capi
tals, is to Induco the powers to suspend
the march of the relief expedition, but it
has been without success tu the case of
any government.
