THE WAR IN CHINA.
London, July 7. -The Russian
Government announces that it will
give Japan a free hand to apply
military force in China. 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.

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.

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.
