GIVEN IIIS PASSPORTS Russia Sends the Chinese Minister Home. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS SEVERED The Chinas Invasion of th Amur Prov iso la equivalent to a Oeelnm Una of War Against Kuasln. New York, July 21. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Lon don says: The Chinese inavsion of the Amnt province la equivalent to a declaration of waragainat Russia, which, constru ing it aa auch, ba banded the Chinese envoy at Ht. Petersburg bl passports today and requested him to leave th country, along with the member of hi mission. Th importance of this Chinese dec laration of war against Russia, and of this bold invasion of Russian territory, lies in the fact as the matter now stands, that it virtually releases the oxer from bl obligation to the foreign power to act in concert with them in China. He i placed thereby in a po sition to act independently, not only with reference , to the defense of his dominions against the Chinese invasion, but also as regards the carrying of war into the enemy' country and an event ual marcn upon Pekin. Should a Russian army, proceeding from Siberia, reach Pekin and captur it before the allies could get to it from the Pacific coast, the czar would be able to dictate terms to China inde pendently of the other powers, aud without any regard to their wishes, vir tually establishing himself a mastet of the country. The British and German govern ment, alarmed at the idea of this eventuality, have today decided to abandon the policy which they have panned nntil now and to declare wa upon tb Chineae government. thu placing themselves in line with Russia and France, and the United States is expected to follow suit immediately. France has, Indeed, already issued, todav. a decree forbidding the sale of arms or war material of any kind to the Chinese, while Germany has al ready prohibited the Chinese envoy at Berlin from communicating with his government except through the German foreign office, and ia preparing to give htm hi paasports. Herein London, the Chinese miulstor has already packed all belongings, removed his boy from the schools and cancelled all his en gagement, so as to be ready for im mediate departure.. , In addition to the corps of the Im perial Chinese army, which has in vaded Siberia with orders to drive all foreigner out of the rich gold-bearing Amnr province of the oxar, there are Ave other corps, one of which is en gaged in destroying the Russian rail road in Manchuria and in driving all the foreigners, especially the Russians, f-oin the northern porton of the em pire; another is to occupy the roads be tween Pekin and Sham Hai Kawn; yet another is to conoenttate at Nanking, while oolomnsare being direoted in hot haste to Tien Tsiu, to the bodrers of Corea and to the neighborhood of Shanghai. Altogether the Pekin govenment ir estimated to have under arm at th present moment no less than 1,000,000 men, splendidly equipped with Musei rifles, smokeless powder and quick-firing ordnance, and carefully trained under the direction of Danish and Ger man officer. Tbl huge army is un der the orders of Prince Tuan. In addition to this, there is the Chi nese fleet, reconstructed and reorgan ised since the war with Japan, and comprising 16 flrst-olana cruisers oi the very latest type. These are cruis ing about the Yellow sea, with theii decks cleared for action. Inasmuch as five vessel of the allied fleet,linclnding the British battleshix Terrible, are cruising about in tht same waters, reconnoitering various towns and fort and inviting the latter to open fire upon them, news may be expected at any moment of a naval bat tle. Nine other foreign men-of-war are at anchor off Shanghai, with the object ol assisting in the defense of that city in the event of its being attaoked by tne big Chinese army, which ia now with in one day' march of the place.

London, July 21. The Shanghai cor respondent of th Daily Express says: "Intense indignation la felt here at the honor in Hong Kong that have been accorded to Li Hung Chang, who i looked upon in Shanghai a the orig inator of the whole fiendish anti-foreign plot. "A Chines merchant who has just arrived from Pekln gives horrible de tails of the masaaore. He say be saw European women hanled into the street by shrieking Boxen, who stripped! them and hacked them to pieces. Their dissevered limb were toaeed to the orowd and carred off with howl ot triumph. Some were already dead, baivng been shot by foreign civilian. He says he saw Chinese soldier car rying the bodies of white children aloft on their spears while their companions shot at the bodies. He gives other de tail too horrible to be particularized here. "It seem that the Boxer leaders had organized a plan, including the offer ing of rewards and rich loot, for the annihilation of Europeans thronghont China, and that Prince Tuan' soldiers have been emphasizing the opportunity the soldiers have had of seizing th bodie of white women." TORTURED BY BOXERS. Tho TarrlbU Fat of Ono of tho First Victim. San Franolsco, July 21. A Chroni cle special from Victoria, B. C, ays: Advice received from North China contain particular of the awful torture inflicted on the Rev. H. V. Norman, who, with Rev. C. Robinson, wa among the first of the American mis sionaries to become victims of the Box ers. A correspondent writing from Tien Tsin on July 7, says some refugees who bad arrived there gathered from Chineae ghastly details of the torture inflicted on Norman. j It seems that he fell into the hands of Li, the head man of a little town bard by the little Anglican mission, where he and Robinson had their bead , quarters. In a quarrel between Boxers I and Christians, the converts had driven I off the Boxers from the mission and Li vowed vengeance. This he took in a s horrible manner "when Norman was . thrown into his hands. I After hi capture by the rioters, from whom Li took the captive, the missionaiy was stripped by the retinue of Li and a collar of iron fastened to his neck. A short chain was attached and he was tethered to a stake. The Chinese men, women and children then poked sharp sticks into his flesh and jabbed him with tridents. When be sank down, weak with the loss ot blood and half erased by the awful torture, and waa nnable to get upon hi knees even, the ohain being too short, he strangled slowly. Molten lead was then thrown on hi nnde body and a be writhed in agony, he wa stabbed to death. His body was cut to pieces. Robnson, the other mssionary, was slaugthered withont being so long in agony. He was cut down by a mob and hacked to pece almost instantly. A number of the mission convert were slaughtered. Some were asked to re cant and those who did so to save their lives were saddled and bridled and forced to crawl to the temple idol. THE HOT SPELL. Caused Sovontr Death at How York Yastordar. New York, July 20. The hot weather today caused or contributed toward the death of more than 70 per sons in this city and vicinity. Aa many more stricken ones are in the hospitals, and some of them will suc cumb before the night is over. More than half the fatalities were among babies and little children, and there are now about 40 bodies of the little one lying at the morgue at Bellevue.

ACCURATE SAMPLING 1 Considered Essential to Ac curate Assaying. A PRACTICAL MINER'S VIEWS Protest Alnst th Uo of Assay Co lineal, aa Dooautontary ' , Krldoaeo. "Accurate sampling 1 qute a essen tial a accurate assaying, for if the ample does not truly represent the lot, or mass, from which it wo taken, the subsequent assay will be valueless. The assayer ot chemist will usually re ceive the samples already prepared, but as he will occasionally be called npon to take hi own sample a knowl edge of the art of sampling ia essen tial." In the Northwest a majority of the samples brought to an assayer are taken by the prospector, or other inter ested party, and as the assay certifi cate are often nsed a the document ary evdence of the value of the proj ty, the assayer should be very careful to state on the face of soch oertficates exactly from whence he obtained the sample on which the assay was made. If an assayer samples the ore him self, be owes it to bis client so to state, as it donbles the value of the certifi cate. If be did not take the sample himself he should place the lesponsi bility of the sample where it belongs, by stating who did take it. Without some one known vouching for the ore of the sample, ataay certificate should carry no weight a document. This can heat be accomplished by the as sayer seeing to it that hi printed cer tificate blank ia worded to cover the de sired points, telling the whole .story and protecting him from any after talk. I must protest, also, against the habit of certain assayer in filling in the valne of the ore on the assay certifi cate, as they do, at the price of the metal in marketable shape delivered in New York. It show a gros ignor ance on the part of the assayer as to the value of the ore here, and often mislead the prospector frightfully, at the same tme furthering and opening the door for fraudulent practice. I have seen, this summer, assay certifi cates npon which the copper of 5 per cent ore was figured ont at 18 cents, equal to $18 per ton, whereas no smelt er could afford to pay more than about one-third that price. A good practical rule to use in figur ing out approximate values of a sul phide ore, at present market quota tions, is as follows: Allow $1.25 for every per cent of copper the ore contains. Allow 40 cents for every per cent of lead the ore contains. Allow 50 cents for every ounce of silver the ore contains. Allow $20 for every onnce of gold the ore oonatlns. These values are for ore delivered on the line of railway. The prospector ha to sample hi own claim and wishes to know the truth. Naturally, I ask how he ia to do it, and the following remark are for his benefit, not for the professional: Iu sampling a lead, if the vein is so that it will all have to go for treat ment, a section of uniform thickness right across the whole face of the lead should be taken for ore samples. Another, and quite as satisfactory a method, ia to Bample all the rock that come out of the prospect, or sample the dnmp, if there is any, by cutting channel through it on the same princi ple as in sampling a ledge. It mast always be borne in mind in sampling that there is liable to be a great difference between the dump and the fine ore, and consequently a due re gard mast be had to getting the proper proportion of each. Hand-picked samples are never reli able, and should always be avoided. Experienced mining men frequently take hand samples of particular clasaes of the ore in a mine, have these assayed and often from these results they esti mate what grade of ore they are min ing. Thia may be correctly done, and it is wonderful bow close to correct assays experienced men can "guess;" but it is uncertain at the best, and dangerous for inexperenoed person to attempt to be guided by such eatim mates. Assays cannot be averaged, unless one knows the actual weight of the ma terial represented by each assay, and only then by a long calculation, too long to describe here, exoept briefly. In nine cases out of ten when the "average assay of a mine" is spoken of, it is incorrect and is usually obtained by adding np a number of separate as says and dividing the mm by the num bers of such assays. It quite correct to take an average sample, have that assayed, and call it the average assay; but this is seldom done. The correot t average assay may be obtained by mul tiplying the weight ot eaob lot ol tne ore by the assay of such lot. and the produot of such multiplication and divide this anra by the sum of the weights of the various lot of the ore. I The quotient of inch division wiH bs "the only correot average assay" obtain able, a M. ROSENDALE, In Portland Telegram. Cnstlo Cms; Tarora Bnraod. Dunsmuir, Cal., July 23. Castle Hraa Tavern a faahinnabla summer resort in the Sierra mountains, was destroyed by fire, together with its contents , at an early hoar this morn ing There were 800 guests in the ho tel. All escaped without injury. The fire originated in the laundry. The total loss Is estimated at $200,000. The hotel was owned by the Paoiflo 'Improvement Company, one of the in corporations of the Southern Paciflo Company. NAGASAKI THE BASE. fapaaoso Oovoramont Olvo It Cho Iful Assont. Waahington, July 28. A wa an. ticlpated, the Japanese government ba given it cheerful assent to the applica tion of the united State government for permission to land troop and mili tary supplies at Nagasaki in transit to Taku. China. This privilege wa de sired in order that the Pacific trans port plying between San Francisco and Manila should not deviate from the regular route, but that the troops and stock carried by them and intended for service in China might be transferred at Nagasaki to other vessels of the transport service and taken direct to Taku. The Japanese authorities not only have agreed to the proposed use of Nagasaki, bat they aim have assured the United State government that they, will facilitate the movement of Ameri can troop and supplies as mnch aa pos sible. The quartermaster's department of the army haa provided three Urge transports of the Philippine aervice for use on the line between Nagasaki and Taku, and it i expected in thi way to expedite the movement of troops to China. The state department ha issued the following bulletin: "The secretary of state received thia morning a dispatch from Consul Fowler at Che Foo, dated midnight, July 19, saying a Shanghai paper of the ISth said 'all foreigner were murdered. Fowler wired the governor demanding the truth. The governor replied that hi courier left Pekin on the 11th, and all then were safe, but Pekin, east city, had been carried by the rebel, with the intent to kill." IMPROVED TOURIST SLEEPERS Ballrond Are Acceding Donalds of Middle Claue. In response to the demand of the time the O. R. & N. ana it connec tion are placing in operation a much better grade of tourist sleepers for Pa cific Coast service than at any previous time. The largely increased traffic to this section of the country has demand ed all the improvements of latter-day transportation, and in consideration of this the railroads are establishing a service which is excellent in every par ticular. Not only are the wishes of the first-class passenger served, but those who are traveling to and from the East on second-class ticket are splendidly cared for. There was a time when a tourist sleeper appealed to a limited number of people who were traveling on the "cheap" order, in every meaning of the term. Now, however, there has been a radical change. With the better tourist sleep ers in operation the class of passenger has been improved, and one may now travel npon them and enjoy all the privileges of a first-class aleener at a greatly reduced rate. " Daily, on the O. R. fc N. east-bound fast mail, is attached- one of these latest improved tourist sleepers, a model of beauty and hansome appoint ments. The new cars are almost an exact counterpart of the first-class sleeper. One noticeable feature of the new tourist car is the absence of a smoking apartment. The new cars being bnilt by the Pullman Company are not pro vided with smoking apartments. This new departure ha been taken because of the fact that most through trains aie provided with composite cars, which provide a smoker for the sleeping-car passengers. Two Kills Burned. Spokane, Wash.. July 23. Fire this afternoon destroyed the large lumber plant of the Hoiiand-Horr Mill Com pany and cansed a loss of $30,000: in surance, $18,000. It also destroyed the Crescent shingle mill; loss, $2,000; insurance, $1,000. A spaik from the engine of the Holland-Horr mill was carried into a dust bin. The dust ex ploded and in a minute flames were sweeping through the mill. Two work men were knocked down by the explo sion and burned about the face and hands. In an incredibly brief period flames had extended to the lumber vurds and soon acre of seasoned lum ber were aflame. It was the hottest raflagration since the great tire of .39. Three firemen were overcome uy the intenes heat and smoke, but ie covered later. Troons to Leave Aiisoaa. Clifton, Ari., July 21 Orders have been received to put in readiness for leaving six troops of the Ninth cavalry (colored), which are garrisoned at Fort Grant, Hnachuca and San Carlos, es tablished to protect settlers in the sev eral Apache regions of Arizona. The negro troops will be relieved by four troops of the Fifth cavalry at Jefferson barracks. Mo. The action will likely call for a strong protest from settlers, who claim they would be left unpro tected from sanguinary Indiana if the change were made. According to or der received the six companies will go to San Francisco, probably the last of the month. French Victory In West Arrlee, Pari, July 23.

THE SAILER SANK IMMEDIATELY Clvea of Her Crow Wore PrawaooV Cninpnnla Mot Mnch ' Pamaced. London, Jnlv 24. A dense fog hung ver the Irish channel yesterday morn ing, and tbe Cunaid line steamer Cam pania, en route from New York tor Liverpool, struck tbe Liverpool bark Embleton, bound for New Zealand, amidships, cutting her in twain. Th Embleton sank immediately. Seven of the crew were lescued, bnt it i be lieved the, other 11 member of the ship's company, including the captain, were drowned. Tbe Campania bad her bows stove in, but arrived safely at Liverpool, five and a half hour late. Tbe Campania had a narrow escape from aerioua disaster. The fog had delayed her passage since Friday noon, and a tender went out from Queens- town four miles, a Captain Walker would not take the liner near shore. At Tuskar light, the fog wa becoming , denser every moment. When the Cam pania was about 80 mile northeast ot tbe light a phantom ship rose suddenly, without warning, directly across her bow. Thirty seconds later the phan tom had become a solid aailing vessel, into which the liner crashed, ber steel forefoot going through the Embleton like the clean cut of a sword, nd dividing ber just abaft the mainmast. The forward half sank iniuntly. Tbe tern swung viciously round, and the mast and yard for a moment tore at the Campania. A lnmp of -wreckage came down on her deck. Then the stern of tbe bark also disappeared, and tbe face of the sea wa littered with splintered timbers, boxes, barrel, the upper work and lighter cargo, tbe deck bouse and auch thing. Then there was nothing. From the instant when tbe phantom came into view from the bridge of the Campania until tbe last vestige of the vessel vanished some 80 or 80 second had elapsed. According to the Embleton' surviv ors, for nearly half an hoar before the collision, the captain and first officer were below at breakfast, and, although tbe fog whistle of a large steamer could be heard every minute, the bark never shifted her course, the helmsman re ceiving no order. When, at 8:25 A. M., the second officer, to use bis own phrase, "heard tbe rush of a steamer' bows," he shouted down to the captain, who rushed on deck, but he waa too late to give an order. The Capmania Vaa under one-third steam. The captain, first officer and pilot were on the bridge. The engine were instantly reversed, and the helm put hard down. No precaution was omitted. Some of her passenger bad even grumbled at what tbey called superfluous caution. After tbe erash and the sudden cries, the boat were quickly gotten out. There were no sign of panic; the crew wa every where at their stations; the bnlkheada were closed and everything possible was done to save life.
