W oalS Hot ( e l l A S S H I o m I th e L axatlim s. s fa t ■ New York, July 16.— A d sptach to the Herald from Berlin mys: , A letter has ju s t bean published here from Lieutenant von Loesqb, attach« of the German legation at Pekin . It is dated May 38, and shows tha qgrly failure to lnorease the guards oi tbe various legations . w ti -due to the aottonof the late Baron von Kefeeler; The letter states that after the first attack by the Boxen on the Pekin Hankow n ilro ad , a meeting of tbe inietere was held to deoido win additional troops ebould be sent for tc protect tbe legations. Baron von Ket- toler was very much opposed to tbii being done, w hile thb French mlnletoi was very mnoh ta favor of this course. The latter wae, however, overruled by hie oolleeguee. M. Pichon waa so hurt by this refusal to eek for guards that he wept. Anothei factor that led the ministers to teach thia unfortunate conclusion was tbe desire of the diplom at!' corps to take their usual summer holiday and i t was feared that if additional troops were sent for they would not ha able to do so. Later on, as the Boxer movement in creased, a second conference of minis- rs wee celled, at which it was re solved to bring detachments of at least 80 men to guard each legation.

Redding, Cel., Jnly 16.— Lest night, when a freight train bound for Oregon, drawn by two engines, waa climbing tbe heavy grade above Upton, a coup- 1 ng gave way, and 80 cars, loaded with fruit, started back.
