The terms of this consent are summarized in the subjoined dispatch from St. Petersburg: Under inquiry from the Japanese Cabinet regarding the dispatch of Japanese troops to China to render aid to the foreigners in Pekin, the llussian Government declared that it left the Japanese Government full liberty of action in this con nection, as the Tokio Cabinet ex pressed its readiness to act in full agreement with the other powers. It is in consequence of this, no doubt, that Japan is preparing to embark 20,000 more troops. Polit ical considerations that were thought to have been influencing the action of the powers are thus laid aside for a moment, at least, by the governments supposed to have the clearest purpose respect ing China's future. I apao'a send ing of troops can have little bear ing on the fate of the foreigners in Pekin. Baron Hayashi, the new Japan ese Minister, who arrived in Lou don Friday, says that 10 days would probably be required for the carrying of troops to China. His dictated statement contained these sentences: "If all the conditions Japan has asked were conceded, I see no lea son why J apari should not under take the task of suppressing the trouble. The powers are all agreed in wishing to put down the rebel lion, but it does not seem that they are agreed on the means." trom this authotnive utterance it is inferred i hat Japan demands conditions, and that the conoert of the powers is a little jangled. Farther Horrors. " Details of further horrors in Pekin are gathered by correspond ents at Shanghai from , Chinese sources, especially of the slighter in the Chinese and Tartar city of thousands of native Christians, so that the capital reek with carnage. The ruthless thirst for blood is spreading in all the northern prov inces; and wherever there, are na tive Christians the scenes enacted in the capital are reproduced in miniature. From these provinces nothing further comes regarding the Legation forces, except a repe tition that they are all dead. The correspondents aver that if the Chinese officials in Shanghai wished to throw light on the real state of affairs in the capital they could do so, and, therefore, the worst reports are accepted bh true. The Che Foo correspondent of the Express, telegraphing Thurs day, says there is no longer any doubt that disaster has overtaken the Russian force of 3000 that left Tien Tsin for Pekin June 11. The Russians had a full field gun com pletement, and carried their own transports. As nothing has been heard from them for 24 days, it is assumed that they have been over whelmed. Trustworthy news is received to the effect that all the country to the northeast of Pekin is covered with the corpses of men and horses of the Western garri son. Fighting of a desperate char acter took place in the immediate neighborhood of Tien Tsin June 30. Taku dispatches say an attack in great force is expected at any moment. The Chinese command ers are awaiting the arrival of more guns and reinforcements belore making an effort to retake the city. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Daily Telegraph, dated July 5, says the losses of the allies up to June 21) totalled G00. till SUutc Slang. According to the Daily Tele- graph's correspondent, in a dis patch dated lhursday, United States Consul Ale Wade tins great influence with Li Hung Chang, and has persuaded him to issue a proclamation containing detailed instructions to prefects, sub-prefects and magistrates. It orden them to detect, behead and other wise severely punish Boxers. These officials, the proclamation says, will be held responsible for the safety of the missionaries and na tive Christians. 1 he governors of two Quongs join in the proclama tion. Another proclamation issued by Li Hung Chang directs that per sons starting an upiising shall be at once beheaded, and that those spreading false rumors shall be severely punished. i his latter phrase, in a Chinese sense, means slow strangulation by means of a wooden collar. Wholesale execu tions are expected to follow these proclamations. CblutM Piri. Official dispatches from Port Arthur to the Russian Government, bearing date of July 2, show that the country to the northward is in a state of disturbance and that bands are destroying property Six pirate ships have been captured by RuHBiao Yoat&W at the iblaud of Ellilong. The Hamburg-American Steamship Co, has placed at the disposal of Emperor William its steamer Savonia, due at Hong Kong Julv 7. for use 'as a hosDital- ship for China. The Emperor has accepted the offer with warm ex prepsions of thanks. A special dispatch from Shang hai, dated Friday, says the position of the allies at Tien Tsin is becom ing increasingly critical, owing to the lack of sufficient supplies, but only as a last resort will the ton be evacuated in favor of concentra tion of the forces at Taku. ' Big Rewrrd. Emperor William has tele graphed to the commander of the German squadron in Chinese waters, to the Governor-General of Shan Tung, to the Viceroys and to otners, ottering 1UU0 taels to any one accomplishing the deliverance or any toreigner of any nationality wnatever now shut ud in Pekin who is handed over to any German magistrate, and offering to pay the expenses of the publication of this otter in rekin. No Grounds For Hope. Bremen, July 7. The firm of Melchers & Co., of Shanghai, tele graphs: We have reason to believe that all the foreigners in Pekin have perished. The rebellion, is spread ing in North China. The foreign ers at Tien Tsin must quit the city, as fresh Chinese attacks are ex pected. The disturbances are in creasing m Shan Tung. We see at present no occasion for aDDre- hensions in the Yangtse territorv or at Shanghai, as the Viceroys of wu Uhang and JSankin do not recognize the prepent source of power at Pekin. LAND SALES.

Hntn rr 1ml.ta. urn 1R6YRL Baking Powder The strongest, purest, most efficient and wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest in price, yet the most economical ; indispens able to all who appreciate the best and most healthful food. Our country is enjoying prosperity almost unsurpassed in its history. For every one there is money enough to buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good, wholesome. Why should we use cheap, impure, un healthful articles of food ? There is no economy in them ; they endanger the health, they may cost life. There are reported almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the cheap, alum baking powders. In. all articles for food buy and use only the best. The good health of the family is of first consideration. ROYAL BAKINQ POWDER CO., BRAVE LITTLE GIRL. The Oregonian prints a picture of the actual act and tells the story as follows: Clara McEwan, the 12-year-old daugh ter of Mrs. William R. McEwan, of Portland, is not very large nor very strong, but to her presence of mind and couraga her little fister and Ernest Stryte, a boy of abont her own age, owe their lives. The children were bathing Tuesday ir La Camas Lake, near the shores of which Mrs. McEwan and her family are spending the summer. Other children were with them, and all were splashing about in high glue in the shal low water when the little Stryte boy suddenly got beyond bis depth, anil commenced to sink, shouting lustily for help the while. Without a moment's hesitation, little Helen McEwan swam after him, and seized hia arm, but the lad's struggles prooved too much for her slender strength, and to the horror of the othor children, all but one of whom were paralyzed with fear, she sank from sight. Clara's courage hail not deserted her. She no sooner saw her sister disappear than she dived after her, but was un able to bring the two children, now locked in a despairing embrace, to the surface. There was no time to be lost, and she didn't lose any. Coming to the surface she made tiie other children un derstand that they must form a line by taking hold of hands. Then seizing the hand of the largest she pulled the aston ished children out up to their necks in water, and, still keeping her grasp on the tallest child, dived again, laid hold of her sister with her free hand, and the children waded ashore, dragging their half-drowned companions to safety. It was all done in the space of time that a man usually allots to thinking what to do in a case of that kind, and as an in stance of courage and coolness it has prabably never been surprsBed.

Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound. Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of feeding it to chil dren ! Yet the manufacturers of well-known alum powders are actually denying that their goods contain it. 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. BRITON AND BOER. London, July 7. Gen. Paget is moving toward the heart of the country held by Dewet. Lord Rob erts telegraphed to the war office under date of Pretoria, July G, 2:25 p. m., as follows: Paget engaged the enemy on July 13 successfully at Peuizerfon tein. He drove them out of a very strong position across the Broenir fonteiu, where he bivouacked for the night, lie followed up the enemy on the afternoon of J uly 4. He reports that all Transvaal offi cials, except the treasurer-general, who has gone to Vrede, are at Bethleham, which has been pro claimed the capital. Stoyn himself is reported to ha,ve taken flight to the mountains. Buller reports the line to Heidelberg restored, thus completing every communication between Pretoria and Natal. Iiloemfontein reported on Friday that the Boers were showing in creased activity. A special dispatch from Pretoria says that an intertribal fight, in which more than 1000 natives were engaged, is taking place in the plains of tbe Boer position. The fight, it is added, ia for possession of the Boer cattle. HOLMES. Writing of the poet and philosopher, O. W. Holmes, Col. Higginson says: It was this quality of perennial youth which was the charm of Holmes' whole existence and which lasted him instead of its poor substitute, dignity until hia 85th year. Dignified, in the strict sense, he never was. In the early davs of his professional practice be strove constant ly to seem older than he was, and was fond of hinting in hia poetry at gray hairs and wrinkles. This was with rea son, because his youthful appearance was at first a serious hindrance to hi professional practice, a thing whicli many physicians have reason to dis cover. As be grew older there never was a moment when his temper did not keep him substantially young for all practical purpose. Theie is little doubt, however, of his having begun to feel after the ago nf K0 some of that latent depression hardly to be escaped by a man who has distinctly outlived his contemporaries. It is doubtless their narrow circle which commonly mak'S men willing to die at last. STOCK PAYS BEST. Take it np one side and down the other, stock pays best.
