July 14.—Once more pitted against a boxer has clearly demon rtraled the superiority of the fighter. To night. in the presence of 14,000 persons In Malison Square Garden, Terry McGov ern 0 { Brooklyn, defeated Frank Erne of Buffalo, lightweight champion of the world ;t was a hurricane fight from bell to l*i;, without a second's let up, except when one of the contestants was lying on the floor of the ring. M,’Govern adopted the tactics which he c ald he woukt. He rushed in on Erne at the very beginning, and sent left and right In such quick succession that Erne, Xest as he is, was nonplussed. Erne, of course, trained far below his usual weight, as he had agreed to meet Mc liovcrn at 128 pounds, which is five pounds helow the lightweight limit. In doing this, many persons believed that the strain would be too much for the Buffalo lad. To-night Erne said that he weighed only 126 Vt pounds, but he declared that he was in excellent condition. Erne lasted only three rounds. In the third Terry sent him to the floor, where the light-weight champion stayed for nine seconds. When he got up his fc® was cov ered with blood, but Terry was remorse less. The Brooklyn terror pounced on his opponent and rained lefts and rights on head, face and neck, while Erne was un able to send back a decent counter. Terry kept forcing and landed another hard jab over the heart, and with right and left to head, downed the Buffalo boy once more. Again Erne took nine seconds of the count, but he came up groggy and practically unable to defend himself, Ter ry made another of his rushes, but be fore he could put a finishing blow. Erne's seconds threw up the sponge and saved their man from being knocked out.

With reference to the contradictory statements to the alleged agreements be tween various Powers concerning the fu ture of China, a foreign oflice official said to-day that nothing like a definite agree ment. either oral or written, existed be tween Germany and Russia, but that such an agreement does exist between Russia and Great Britain, assigning to each a distinct sphere. “Although England,” said the officer, “has several times complained since the agreement was made, Russia apparently has not felt strictly bound by it. Ger many, for her part, as Russia knows, will not object if Russia monopolizes Man churia.” Lord Gough, secretary of the British embassy, made the following statement to the coir^spondfnt of the Associated Press this afternoon: “The Pekin massacre does not render it necessary for the Powers to abandon the position that they are not at war with China. The Powers will continue to claim that their action there is in behalf of the deposed government and only against rebels and usurpers. “There are many precedents for such a course, particularly the action of the United States government toward the Brazilian revolutionises.” A member of the Japanese embassy said to-day: “Japan has not sought a mandate from the Powers and will not accept the man datory role unless requested to do so by all. In the event of accepting, Japan would not ask territory as compensation. Japan is fully in accord with the other Powers respecting the future.” The official in question said that he ac cepted the report of the massacre as well founded and gave his reasons. Referring to the force Japan now has in China, he said that the Mikado’s troops there al ready number 22.0G0, but that these were insufficient for an affective advance upon Pekin, as no fewer than 100,000 men would be necessary, especially in view' of the ab solute need of keeping open communica tions with the coast. DORWAHD AVIRES LONDON. He Tells of Operations at Tien Tsln on July 1 1< London. July 16.—The war office to-day issued a dispatch from Gen. Dorward, dated Tien Tsin, July 11, which adds lit tle to previous information. The Chinese, according to this dispatch, attacked the station on the morning of July 11. and were repulsed after four hours of hard fighting, In which 500 of the enemy were killed. On July 9, Gen. Dorward. commanding a force of 100 Americans, 950 British and 400 Russians, and Gen. Fukushima, commanding 1.000 Japanese, attacked the Chinese and cap tured their positions southwest of the city, killing 350 and capturing four guns. American and Japanese troops subse quently rushed and took the western arse nal. Gen. Dorward adds that the day’s honors rested with the Americans and Japanese. t There were no casualties among the Americans or the Russians. SUPPLIED WITH POISON. I.miles of the Legation llenily to I>le by Their Own Hands. Berlin, July 16.—The correspondent here of the Associated Press has received pri vate information from London that a let ter was received there from Lady Claude MacDonald, wife of the British ambassa dor at Pekin, written when the situation was growing threatening, saying that all the ladies of the legation had supplied themselves with poison. A DIRECT CONTRADICTION. Goodnow Known Nothing About For eigners Haling Been Killed. "Washington, July 16.—Consul General Goodnow cabled to the state department from Shanghai, under to-day's date, that there is nothing more to report since his cablegram of the 13th inst. That dispatch reported the attack on the legations at Pekin as about to begin. Mr. Goodnow's statement is a direct contradiction of the Shanghai story, that all foreign consuls were Informed Satur day by Sheng, that the legation* had fallen and the ministers were killed. 80,4100 MEN WANTED, That la the Estimate Fixed Upon for the Campaign. Washington, July 16.—Sixty thousand men for the march to Pekin and 20.000 more to keep open the lines of communi cation, and, if necessary, to defend the bases of operation at Tien Tsln and Taku, is the estimate of the number of troops that will be required In the Chinese cam paign. Upon the basis of these figures, which, it Is said, are those furnished by fhe commanders of the allied forces in China, this government will furnish be tween 10.000 and 12.010 soldiers. This num ber is thought by the officials to be all that we should furnish In the present emergency. Indeed, It Is more than was estimated should be our share, as this was stated to be about on even 10,000. The recent arrival borne of a battalion of. an infantry regiment at San Francisco l has given an opportunity to the war de portment to utilize several batteries* of artillery now on the coast for the Chi* nese service, Uieir places to be filled for the time being by the men of the home* coming regiment. To-day’s ordens also contemplate the sending of a siege bat tery of artillery, now at Fort Riley, Kan*, for the China service. Secretary Root said at a late hour to* night that he had not received any word from the military officials in China, re garding the reported disaster to the Ninth Regiment. Admiral Remey’s dispatch conveying a report of the disaster, was the only word that came to the navy de partment up to a iate hour, and Mr. Wu. the Chinese Minister, said to-night that he had not received anything of a news nature. JAPAN IS VERY Ill’SY. That Country Hus Hone to Work With n Will. (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Yokohama, Japan, June 30, via San Francisco, July 16.—Japan is meeting the situation in China with a vigor and promptitude which would be surprising if it were not that this has been long looked upon as the land of surprises. At the cabinet meeting held on Monday last, the sum of 50,000,000 yen was appro bated for the immediate expanses in volved in the dispatch of troops. This amount will supply the necessary sinews until the meeting of the Diet. The mobilization of the troops and the movements of the transports and naval vessels still continue, and the efficiency of the military machine of the empire Is be ing demonstrated as clearly- as In the late struggle with China, when it com manded ihe admiration of the foreign ex perts. *l’he troops mobilized there will number nearly 30,000, and.it is safe to as sume that within tw’o weeks, at the lateet, with the large forces of Russians and British on the way, the allies will have at their disposal an army of 100,000 men. which will be .ample for the initial opera tions. HOPB GIVEN’ CP. Foreign. Alin liters An Washington Accept the Pekin Stories. Washington. July Without exception to-day, th 9 foreign representatives in Washington accepted it as practically certain that the foreign legations and ministers at Pkin have been wiped out. At the same time, there is not a word confirmatory from any of the foreign offices, and the conclusion is baaed on the accumulating unofficial data that the slaughter occurred on about July 6 or 7. Even among tho high Chinese officials h r pe has be*n about given up, but they maintain that there is no official infor mation and that they are as much In the dark as others. MINISTER IS MISSING. | Chinn’s Represents ti ve In England Hasn't Shown Up for Some Time. London. July In, f>:3o p. m —The foreign office has received no advices to-day from China. Although Lord Salisbury', the premier and minister for foreign affairs, does not doubt that Sir Claude MacDon ald, the British minister at Pekin, has been murdered, he has not yet taken any step* regarding international relations with China. There is at present no inclination to givt the Chinese minister his passports. Lord Salisbury has seen or heard nothing of this functionary for several days, in fact, not since his lordship made the request that ho transmit a message to Sir Claude MacDonald. The Chinese minister agreed hut nothing further has been heard of him. An official at the foreign office said to the Associated Press to-day: “We ore still wondering whether we are at war with China. Till we ascertain, we cannot take any action against its diplo matic representative. The whole thing is so ghastly, so utterly unprecedented that we are at a loss what course to follow ex cept to send to China as many troops as we can spare.” -**- Since the definite news of the massacre at Pekin has been received, no commu nications have passed between the Pow ers regarding <he necessity for further action or the advisability of declaring war upon the Chinese government. The Associated Press Tien Tain dis patch, announcing the repulse of the al lies, was the first news the foreign office had received of the occurrence, and It produced n feeling akin to dismay. Mr. Brodrick, the parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, had left the office, pre pared to give the House of Commons a rather satisfactory account of the opera tions at Tien Tsln. The serious Import of the Associated Press dispatches was immediately sent after him. Regarding the eventful solution of the crisis and the length of time the troops will take to reach Pekin, there is not a glimmer in the mind® of British officials. “All we can do,” said one of the most responsible officials. “Is to hope for the best nnd pray that Japan's troops may move quickly’.” With reference to the Tien Tsln dis patch to the Associated Press, quoting the complaints of British refugees, the foreign office informed ihe Associated Press correspondent to-day that no in structions had been issued to Admiral Seymour not to take on board British sub jects, in fact all his Instructions imply otherwise, nnd they were unable to under stand the conditions reported. The government discredits the report FACTS ABOUT FLOUR. Mnde White by I.easing Ont the Part Which Helps Digest Modern methods of milling separate the parts of the wheat berry that contain the diastatic element, and furt Ish only the while flour made up almost entirely of starch. One of the principal elements needed to digest this starch has been left out in the process, and, therefore, the person who eats much white bread is almost sure to have Intestinal troubles, for the starch does not digest properly and must, of necessity, decay, and cause all sorts of trouble. Grape-Nuts Food, on the contrary, is made up of the entire wheat and barley, and the processes of digestion as shown in tho human body, are copied as exactly as possible. In a mechanical way, by the use of moisture, time and warmth. No chemicals or other Ingredients are used, but the simple methods scientifically ar ranged. In this way the starch of the grain Is transformed Into grape sugar, and the Grape-Nuts Food, which appears in a granular form, shows on the outside of the little granules, glittering specks of this grape sugar, which Is not put onto the food from the outside, but is a result of the change of the starch Into grape augur, which works out to the surface, very much as the ssp of the hickory or maple tree will frequently show in the shape of white sugar on I he sawed-off ends of logs. A handful of Grape-Nuts held to the light will show Ihe little glittering par ticles of grape sugar. It is naturally and scientifically predigested, therefore, the food agrees with the weakest sort of a stomach. It must Pot be used in large quantities at one meal, for ft is concen trated. and over-feeding of even the choicest food Is not advisable.

Berlin, July 16.—The foreign office, con sidering unlimited telegraphic connection between Lue Hal Huan, the Chinese min ister to Germany*, and China incompati ble just now with Germany’s interests, to-day issued orders inhibiting Chinese legation dispatches. SPEAKS WELL OF LISCUM. Gen. Joe ‘Wheeler Praises the Vic tim of the Chinese. Chicago, July 16.—1n speaking of Col. Liscum, Gen. Jo© Wheeler, commander of the Department of the Lakes, said to day : “He was a gallant soldier and an excel lent officer. His conduct at Santiago was meritorious.

He Sees no Need Jn.it Yet for nil Extra Session. Washington, July 16— Representative Cannon, chairman of the House Commit tee on Appropriations, and one of Ihe most prominent eongreesional figures, was about the state and w’ar departments while the Chinese discussion was at its hlgh4 to-day. Asked if there would be an extra session of Congress, he said: “That te for the President to t*ay, but I hardly see any occasion for it yef. The first thing to do te to learn w’ho Is responsible for this trouble. Is it China or the irresponsible element of China? When that is settled we may be in a po sition to say whether or not we are to have a war with China. It can be put down as certain, that if there Is a war there cannot be the slightest doubt of the outcome, and it will be a disastrous one for China. “The present law' limits the number of tv*opa to 100,000, and without action by’ Congress, there could be no increase of the army beyond that force. But, :n case of emergency, there are provisions of the statute which give the President means of raising fund to meet the ne cessities of the case. There is ample money to carry out whatever course may become necessary, and you may rest assured thfc money will be made available. If there Is any emergency need of troops, we have a large force In the Philippines which could be drawn on.” NOT YET DETERMINED. That There Will He nn Extra Session or Call for Troops. Canton, 0., July 16.—President McKin ley left this city for Washington at 10:50 o'clock this evening. He Journeyed In a special car attached to the regular Penn sylvania train. Only Secretary Cortelyou accompanied the President, who will at tend to matters in connection with the Chinese situation, and in the course of a few days, expects to return to Canton. It can be stated with certainty that no extra session of Congress has yet been determined upon, and that It has not been decided to issue a call for troops for aer vice In China. The past eighteen hours brought the first tangible news from China for some,time and it is the desire of the President to go over these reports with his official fam ily. Upon this review will depend. In a large measure, the government's action In the Immediate future. President McKinley was greatly dis tressed over the reported losses to Amer ican arms, and no effort was made to con ceal the fact that he was much exercised over the reports which came to him dur ing the day. HANNA SAY* NO SESSION. Ills Idea Is That One Will Not Need to lie Called. Cleveland, July 16.—Senator Hanna, asked to-day If he thought an extra ses sion of Congress would be called on ac count of the Chin-se situation, said that while he did not know what action might be taken by the President, he did not believe personally that such a call would be Issued. J Mr. Hanna added that later develop ments might, of course, makej-uch a step necessary. 1 ♦ ROCK HILL MENTIONED. He May Sneered Conger as Minister to Chinn. Washington, July 18.—A rumor gained circulation at some of the foreign estab lishments to-day, and was accepted with some degree of credM, that W. W. Rock hill, now chief of the Bureau of American Republics, would be named as the United States representative to China. Inquiry failed to confirm the report, and in any even! it is probable that the considera tion of any such step would he deferred until the last vestige of doubt ns to the fate of the ministers at Pekin was dis pelled. • When asked as to the report, Mr. Rock hill said his name had not been consider ed, so far as he knew, and that ail his plans were made to go to South America on Aug. 7.
