FAILURES FOR SIX MONTHS.
Business Mortality Is the Lightest for
IS Years.
New York, July 4.—Despite the
quieting down of general business there
bas beeu little appreciable increase in
business mortality and the number of
failures reported for the first six months
of the calendar year 1900 is the smallest
noted for IS years past, falling below
5,000 in number. The volume of liabili
ties, it is true, is somewhat larger than
a year ago, the increase being nearly
81(5,0') >,000 or 19 per cent. With the ex
ception of the first six months of last
year, the aggregate liabilities of 4,8S0
traders, §00,004,208 is the smallest sum
involved in the product mentioned since
the year 1892, and with that exception is
the smallest aggregate reached since
1887.
The assets of failures mentioned ag
gregate §27,475,514, a gain of 28 percent
over last year, but a decrease of 25 per
cent from 1898, only about half those of
1897, and, with the exception of last
year, the smallest assets reported since
1 ; >87. As illustrative of the return to
the normal in the matter of business
embarrassments, it might be stated that
the percentage of assets to liabilities in
the first six months of the present year
was 45.7 per cent, compared with 45.5
p t c nt last year, with 5 per cent in
1898. with 58 per cent in 1897 and 1896
and 61 per cent in the panic year 1893.

Emperor of Germany Virtually De
clares War on China.
Berlin, July 3.—Addressing the de
tachment of German marines which
sailed from WilhelmshaVeu lor China,
the emperor made a remarkable speech
j during which he notified the world of
| Germany’s intention to avenge the nmr-
j der of Baron You Ketteler, the lato min-
i ister of Germany at Peking, and the
| missionaries and to dictate terms to the
i Chinese from the palace at Peking. Ac
cording to The Lokal Anzeiger his
majesty spoke as follows:
“The German flag has beeu insulted
and the German empire treated with
contempt. This demands exemplary
punishment and vengeance. Events
have moved with frightful rapidity and
have become profoundly grave and still
graver since I called yon to arms. What
I hoped to effect with the help of the
marine infantry has now become a diffi
cult task, which can only be fulfilled
with the ranks of all civilized states.
“I will not rest until the German flag,
joined to those of the other powers, floats
triumphantly over China’s flag, and it
has beeu planted on the walls of Peking
to dictate peace to the Chinese.
“You will have to maintain good
comradeship with all the other troops
whom yon will come iu contact with
over yonder. Rushans, British and
French—all alike are fighting for one
common cause—for civilization. We
must bear in mind, too, something
higher than defense of our religion and
defense and protection of our brothers
out there, some of whom stake their
lives for the Savior. Bring back these
flags to me clean and stainless and with
out a spot. My thanks, my prayers and
my solicitude go with you.”
No Change at Washington.
Washington, July 3.-Up to noon there
had been no change hero regarding thi
Chinese situation. No orders had gone
out looking to the dispatch of increased
forces and beyond a cablegram from
Consul Goodenow at Shanghai, reciting
the brief news brought to Shanghai by
the messenger from Sir Robert Hart.
There was a disposition to take some
comfort out of the statement that cannon
were not being used against the lega
tion. The date of the Peking dispatch,
June 25, eight days back, leaves ground
for grave apprehension as to what has
occurred since then.
! BRUTALITY OF TUG CREWS.
j Would Not Rescue Drowning Men Be
cause They Had No Money.
Hoboken, N. J., July 3.—A sensation
! has been created by an announcement
from Mayor Fagan of Hoboken that he
will prosecute all leading boat compa
nies against whom charges of refusing
to save lives can be substantiated. The
mayor says he will apply at once for
warrants charging two tugboat captains
with murder and that he has evidence
to prove that these men used boat hooks
to keep drowning men from climbing
on their tugs because the unfortunates
had no money. An effort is to be made
also to have the license of the offending
captains revoked.
Seventy-Four Bodies Recovered.
New York, July 8.—The search for
bodies of persons who perished in the
fire at the North German Lloyd’s pier at
Hoboken was resumed today. Up to the
stoppage of work late last night 67
bodies had been recovered. Four of
these were still on the Saale, where they
were found.
Wrecking tugs continued their work
j on the Maine and Bremen, removing
( the cargoes and debris and trying to
I reach the bodies believed to be iu their
! holds. Many persons are known to have
I perished in the ships, but it is feared
I that any bodies recovered will be un
recognizable.
The body of an unrecognizable man
was found at the foot of Essex street,
Jersey City.
Seven additional bodies has been
taken from the river, making the total
number of dead found 74.
Accident Frustrates a Robbery.
Chicago, July 2.—A bold attempt by
two masked men to loot the safe in the
office of the Globe Laundry company
was frustrated by an accident that may
prove fatal to one of the marauders. In
exploding dynamite to shatter the lock
of the inner door of the safe one of the
men had his right hand torn away and
his arm shattered, while the other thief
was struck iu the face by a flying frag
ment of steel. The injured men fled.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel'Salve
Cures Piles. Scalds. Burns.
Towne, Danforth and Sulzer Are the
Leading Candidates.
Kansas City, July 3.—The Towne
men are more confident than ever that
they will nominate their man for viee
president. They say the fight is be
tween Towne and Danforth of New
York and the question of expediency
will now be considered. Danforth is the
personal and political friend of David B.
Hill. Already the point is being made
that he is Hill’s candidate, and that he
is to be named for the purpose of con
ciliating Hill for the manner in which
his suggestions were treated by Mr.
Bryan on his recent visit to Lincoln. It
is a feature, however, which cuts both
ways, as there is ail element among the
delegates who don’t feel like offering
anything in the way of olive branches.
It is known that Hill and his friends
have some hesitancy about pushing Dan
forth for the nomination because they
have doubts of success if there is a dis
tinct declaration for 16 to 1. The east
ern delegation is absolutely quiescent
on all of the direct issues in platform or
as to candidates. They assume that they
are for anything that the western silver
delegates may decide upon. Hill’s name
they say will not be considered.
Belmont, who has been mentioned, is
not even considered by the silver ele
ment. And yet the east is reported in
the contest by virtue of a candidate se
lected, not by eastern representatives,
but by western and southern states. In
fact, they assert the fight for the vice
presidential candidate has narrowed
down to two men—both personal friends
of William J. Bryan and both alleged to
be acceptable. They are Towne and
Sulzer of New York.
Of these two men they agree that
Towne has the better of the contest,
because it is pointed out that he will
represent a fusion of all the silver ele
ments.
Mr. Sulzer was inclined to be reticent
this morning when he was told of this
situation. He admitted that he knew
the east had practically decided to let
the convention be dominated by the
western men, and admitted that Mr.
Towne was the leader in the race, say
ing: “Mr. Towne is very acceptable to
Mr. Bryan.”
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
was among the early arrivals. He im
mediately announced himself for Towne
for vibe president, but said that he did
not consider it necessary to make spe
cific declaration on the ratio when de
claring for silver.
“With Bryan at the head of the
ticket,” he said, “we need no platform.
His position is such that no man can
question it. ’ ’
Danforth or Towne.
Kansas City, July 3.—As_ the day
wore on the impression spread among
the delegates that the convention would
nominate either Danforth or Towne,
and that the element which felt that a
Democrat should be named were more
strongly inclined toward Danforth.
STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

Around Tieu Tain.
London, July 4.—“Not a single for
eigner is now'alive in Peking,” is the
latest Chinese report which has reached
Shanghai.
Earlier reports from the same sources
describe the condition of the British
legation as something awful. It is said
that the rooms of the legation were filled
with sick and wounded, the killed lying
unburied iu heaps.
It is believed that many members and
officials of the tsnng li yamen perished
when the German guard, maddened by
the murder of Baron Yon Ketteler, the
German minister, set fire to the build
ing.
That the foreigners at the Chinese
capital have been abandoned to their
horrible fate seems no longer open to
doubt in the light of the dispatch re
ceived from Taku announcing the deci
sions of the admirals regarc^ing the help
lessness of further attempts to relieve
Peking.
Shanghai, July 4.—The following im
perial decree, dated Peking, June 25,
has lean sent by courier to Pno Ting
Fu, and thence telegraphed broadcast:
“We are now warring with the for
eigners. Boxers, patriots and peoplo,
combined with the government troops,
have been repeatedly victorious in bat
tles with our foreign enemies. We have
already sent imperial commissioners to
transmit the imperial praise and exhor
tation to repeat these successes.
“There must be men of similar pa
triotism and bravery iu all the provinces
of the empire. We, therefore, command
all viceroys and governors to enlist such
and organize them into troops. Let this
decree be sent to all the high officials in
the empire at the rate of 200 miles per
day.
High Chinese officials here state that
they have received a message from
Peking saying that 24 hours would de
cide the fate of the remaining foreign
legations.
►Severe fighting continues around Tien
Tsin. Admiral Seymour is reported to
have been wouuded in a pitched battle.

Chinese Troops are Defeated With
Heavy Losses.
Taku, China, June 29, via Shanghai,
July 4.—A reconnoitering party under
Lieutenant Commander Keys of the tor
pedo boat Fame, captured and destroyed
the New City and the port 12 miles from
Taku, June 28. There was little or no
opposition. Two blue jackets were in
jured by an explosion and many Chinese
were killed. The river is practically
clear from Taku to Tien Tsin, with the
excepton of a few sunken tow boats and
lighters.
A second attack was made on the east
arsenal June 27, the Russians being
forced to retire for reinforcements. A
force of British, one company of Ger
mans and 30 Americans then engaged
the enemy who, with four guns, made a
determined resistance until the whole
allied force supported the artillery.
The allies advanced and stormed the
west end of the arsenal. Fifty Chinese
were killed and the remainder retired.
Lack of cavalry prevented the capture
of the whole force.
As soon as the allies had reached the
arsenal 15 imperial troops made a flank
attack from the city. The British and
Russians soon drove them back.
The British casualties number five
killed and 21 wounded. The Americans
had only one wounded, the Germans
two killed and five wounded, while the
Russians lost 17 killed and wounded.
Irregularities Disclosed In the Cases of
Three 3Ien.
Atlanta, June 29.—An investigation
of the state prison records has disclosed
the fact that there are three men serv
ing life terms whose sentences aro ille
gal. The men were convicted of crim
inal assault with a recommendation to
mercy. Under the law such a sentence
is an impossibility, as in case of convic
tion the law'provides the death penalty.
Where a recommendation to the mercy
of the court is made the statute provides
that the defendant shall be sentenced as
for an assault with intent to outrage,
the penalty for which is from one to 20 j
years. ,
The victims of these judicial errors ;
are Gordou White, convicted in Clay i
county iu 1890; Albert Johnson, con- j
victed iu Jasper county in 1893, and j
Willis Greer, convicted in Early county ;
in 1897.
Kit Bnston of Coweta couuty and
life sentences for the same crime.
They were convicted and sentenced to
death, but their punishment was com
muted to life imprisonment by the gov
ernor. The question is raised in these
cases as to whether the governor has the
power to commute the death sentence.
The first threo will, necessarily, have
to be resentenced.

About 8,000 Delegates Will Attend
the Atlanta Convention.
Atlanta, July 2 —Interest in the in
terstate conference of the Epworth
league, which opens its four days’ ses
sion in Atlanta July 25, grows apace.
The conference will be held in the au
ditorium at the Exposition park, which
has a seating capacity of 10,000.
It is estimated that 8,000 delegates
will be in attendance.
Some of the features of the program
will be a pleasing departure from the
routine. Chief among such is the pic
turesque mission drama composed by
Dr. DuBose of Nashville. From 300 to
500 children, costumed iu the striking
garb of the peoples among whom the
foreign missionaries labor, will partici
pate in this entertainment. The drama
is entitled “The Coming of the King.”
It contains some beautiful choruses.
The troubles in China will lend new
interest to the discussions of mission
work by men prominently identified
with that noble cause. Dr. C. F. Reid
of Korea will throw much light cn the-
‘eastern question, aud show the effects of
Russian domination on protestant evan
gelization iu the Mongol world.
Addresses will be delivered by Gov
ernor Candler and Governor-elect Sam-
ford of Alabama.

Governor Appoints Delegates to the
industrial League Couvention.
Atlanta, July 2.—Preparations are
being made for the convention of the
Southern Industrial league, to be held
in Atlanta July 18 and 20.
The convention promises to be one of
the most satisfactory meetings of the
kind ever held in the south. From pres
ent indications fully 800 delegates will be
in attendance and among this number
some of the most prominent business
men in the country.
The governors of all southern states
have been reqnsted to appoint a delegate
from each congressional district. These
delegates will be in addition to the busi
ness men who have been given regular
invitations.
Goverr or Candler of Georgia and Gov
ernor McSweeney of South Carolina
have already named the delegates from,
their states.
Among the special guests of the occa
sion will be John Wanamaker, who will
probably deliver an address.
