en." The pmperor and empress dowager

NEW YORK, Aug 24.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The Standard correspondent at Tlen
Tsin says that the line of communica
tion with Pekln is In an unsatisfac
tory itate and the force available for
holding it is insufficient.
It Is reported :n Shanghai In Chinese
circles that the empress dowager and
Prince Tuan have bern captured. The
finperor is said to be in Pekln with
the allied forces.
Russia now has Manchuria at her
mercy. The St. Petersburg correspon
dent of th? Mail states that after Slzi
kar and Moukden have been stormed,
tYe subjugation of the province will be
complete.
The reply of the British foreign office
to LI Hung Chang, conveyed through
the Chinese minister here, has not yet
been delivered. The delay Is sufficient
ly explained by the distance of Lord
Salisbury from London and the fact
that all official communications have to
he transmitted to a remote village on
the Franco-German frontier, where the
foreign secretary is now resting. The
repiy, however, is settled In principle.
Its general tenor will be similar to that
of the German government, which baa
Just been hand-d to the Chinese lega
tion at Berlin. Great Britain will de

accredited reiwwntatlve on the Chin
ese side. Sir Chth Chen Lo Feng Lull,
Chinese minister here, present the os
scitlon that LI Hung Chang has re
ceived full authority to negotiate from
the empress. He also maintain that
he is still In communication, not direct
ly with the emperor, by means of a
viceroy of the southern provinces. No
official news ficm China has, however,
been received at the legation for the
last threo days.
Minister Conger's statements as to
the hostile attitude of the Chinese court
and thir direct complicity tn the Box
er attacks have made considerable Im
pression here, but It Is also thought
that Mr. Conner's health and nervous
system are exceedingly likely to haw
suffered from the strain thrmmh which
he has passed. It is known that Sir
Claude MaePonald is 111.
The absence of direct news from re
kin for the Inst few days continues to
causj some anxiety in military circles.
The undoubted fact remains of an out
break at Hankow and thoush this was
promptly uppress-'d by the viceroy of
Ho Pe. It Is feared that the unrest Is
spreading throush the central prov
inces and may be Indented when the
flight of the emperor Is known. The
theory of some conservative Journals
that England Is at war with China Is
not yn officially accented by the Brit
ish government, which has not brvktn
off relations with the Chinese ligation
pendln? the receipt of further 'nforma
tion from Its diplomatic and military
advisors In Pekln.

PURTELL-JOST SCRAP.
Lasted the Limit No Decision Was
Given.
Frank Jost and Paddy Purtell gave
one of the cleanest exhibitions of the
manly an of s-df-defense that has ever
been seen In this city last night at
the Louvre. As both men were on their
feet at the end of the twentieth round,
no decision was rendered.
Jost was In the pink of condition
and looked like a winner when Purtell
stripped and entered the ring. Paddy

fat, his muscles were not well developed
and his movements were sluggish: yet
those who thought he would be down
and out before the limit was reached
were sadly mistaken. He showed won
derful recruperatlve powers and was
apparently as fresh at the end of the
bout as he was at the start. He prov
ed a wonderful scrapper, quick, tricky
and onto all the movement used In the
business.
Jost rot only has PurtelPs poor con
dition to be thankful for. but also his
advantage In rea?h. which repeatedly
saved him from vicious body swings
and short arm Jabs. Jost Is a comer,
but lacks the proper training. He was
unable to plant a blow on his opponent's
body, but did land several on Purtell's
face, which slid off as water does from
a duck's back. Jost's foot work was
excellent, as was also his ducks from
upright and left arm swings. He has

youth, had a ten round go fHP a d
elslon. Smith was a Umg-legged boy
with much reach and no stomach worth
mentioning for Ills opponent to work
on, while Houghton was possessed of
a well knit frame, but lacked the steam
to put hi lanky friend out of the busi
ness. The ten rounds were very tarn af
fairs. So tame that the enthusiasm of
the crowd was hardly aroused lo a
ycllliu: pilch. The rounds were all the
same. Much fiddling for opening
and slaps with the open glove. Hough

training, but Smith was also up to a

opportunity came, but It failed to route.
Smith was repeatedly chased around
the ring and twice was forced to the
irles, but Houghton did not follow
'up the advantage gained. IMh roiuest
ants have the prover stuff In them to
(make I'tigilNts. but more training than
Ihey have been accustomed to Is needed
to bring their good qualities to the
front.
When the Purl.ll-Jost go was called,
the ha'l whs crowded to the dixirs with
soectnlor In all walks of life. Asto
ria, Portland ard many other places
were represented by a delegation of
sports.
Purtell entered the ring flint and was
Klven thV slad band by Ills admirers,
but when Jost entered It was plain to
he s,-n which hid the crowd with him.
Jost's friends were very much In evi
dence until Purtell's barkers threw
twenties Into the ring to be covered.
Two of the t;.ld pieces were cover-d.
but the remainder wont begging.
After si in e slight delays. Nnce !r:nt
was ch"i'n as referee of the bmit. He
Immediately entered the ring. thr'W off
Ills eout and the llk-ht was on.
The tinui w-re nearly all the same.
The men clinched repeatedly, but ob
served the ml an l broke chim. Pur.
jtell tiled In every round to work on
.lost' vlnd, but found that portion of
th bmlv too well developed to dam
age. Ju"t was inahle to land once
on Paddy's body, and there was where
he lot out. Purtell kept himself well
shielded and i very time Jost went af
ter the stomach, he found Paddy In
his arms. , smiling. Jt "unded on
Purtell's Lead until he became tlrl.
In every reach f r the face. Jost found
Purt-ll's head there Instead. Purt-ll
was on the aitgriwdve at all times and
the men mixed matter Jn every round,
but with 'Ittle effect.
Furtell gave up trying to work on
Jont's stomach and tried for the hart.
hut his blows lacked steam. Falling
In this, Purtell worked on Josfg kid
neys and heart at .he same time, but
although the blows landed all right,
they wer wantlrg In force. Jost prov
ed himself a gol fighter and no doubt
would have made a better showing
had he forced matters Instead of per
mitting Purtell to do so. Jost no doubt
thought to wear Purtell out and th'n
trim him down, but h under-rated the
staying qualities of his man. As early
ns the third round everyone thought
Purtell would riot last six, but he was
eood at nil times.
Both men showed wonderful staying
powers and the fight would have been
an all night affair, had not the ?th
round stooped It. At the finish neither
showed much punishment Jost's body
was red where Purtell landed repeat
edly but he was far from being put on
queer street.
After the bout Dud Evans of Tort
land and Jack Hill of Astoria were
scheduled to fight to a finish for a side
bet of $100 nnd the r-celpts of the
house.
A referee was chosen and the men
entered the ring, the first round the
honors being even. At the opening of
theeonnd round the men went at each
oth'T hammer nnd tongs. Hill throwing
Evans over the ropep. The referee sep
arated them, and they went at It again
end Hill threw his mnn over the ropes
on the other side of the ring. Then
the referee pave the fight to Evans.
But this did not stop the bout, as
the men, with blond In their eyes,
started In to annihilate ench other.
During the nxt round the referee cau
tioned Hill several times about foul
ing, but Hill had evidently lost his
head and paid no attention to the ref
eree's warning. The fight was then
stopped, and Evans d"(lnred the win
ner, and entitled to the purse and the
receipts.
