The others are Elliot Danforth, Dr. John H. Grider, Congressman George j B. McClelland and Borough President I Coogan. So far Mr. Croker has refused j to indorse any of these booms.

Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of us ing anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of appendi citis, nervous prostration, or heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of indigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other ' aches.

Bell, Milien, Ga. had just received a dispatch from his sou announcing the relief of Tien Tsin. The news reached Berlin late from the German consul at Che Foo, who an nounced that the relief column entered Tien Tsin during the afternoon of June 23 and started again June 24 to rescue Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with the foreign ministers, was said to be occu pying a position 12)4 miles from Tien Tsin, where he was surrounded, and hard pressed by a great force of Boxers and Chinese regulars. Possibly the Japanese report that Sey mour is a prisoner and that the minis ters had Peking guarded by Chinese sol diers is merely a distorted version of the Berlin story. But, in any event, defi nite news may be expected speedily, and it is confidently believed here Seymour and his companions will be safely deliv ered from their-plight. According to the report of a China man refugee, who has arrived at Shang j hai, the condition at; Tien Tsin is horri ble. Everywhere on the streets are the bodies of men aud women, Americans as well as all other nationalities. The Hong-Kong and German hanks, he adds, were both destroyed early during the bombardment. Shanghai also reports that the Amer- ico-Rnssian relief force was so badly am bushed that the forces were obliged to abandon several field gnus and much ammunition. About 180 Russians and 11 Americans were killed or wounded. The German gunboat litis and a Rus sian torpedo boat destroyer are patrolling the Pei Ho river and raking with ma chine guns the native villages on the river bank. A dispatch from Canton says that city | remains quiet, but the female mission-1 aries from the outlying districts are: coming in on account of the warnings of Christian Chinese. Although it is officially said at Canton' that Li Hung Chang will not go to Pe king, he continues his preparations for departure. A telegram from the governor of Liao Chon, dated June 25, which has reached Berlin, announces that, according to re ports from Chinese sources, Vice Admiral Seymour’s force has reached Peking. This is probably a reiteration of the pre vious reports on the same subject. This de tachment sails on the Grant, which has been ordered to touch at Nagasaki for further orders. It is probable that the ship will then sail direct for Che Foo. General MacArthur has been cabled an order directing the commanding officer of the Ninth infantry aud such other forces as may be operating in China hy the time of the Grant’s arrival to report to General Chaffee on his ar rival. Unless present plans change head quarters will be established at Che Foo. Brooklyn Sails For Che Foo.
