THE WAR IN CHINA.
L.onaon, ,iu)y lb. it seems im
possible to entertain any longer
tne least doubt as to the fate of
the Europeans in Pekin. The As
8ociBted Press learns that Lady
Hart, wife of Sir Robert Hart, Di
rector . ot Chinese Imperial Mar
mine customs, only , July 5 re
ceived the following telegram from
uer nusoand: ,
"Our people, including the wo.
men, are in the legations. Prepare
to hear the worst." , i
The European governments have
received irom tneir repreaentativea
at Shanghai a dispatch from the
Governor of . Shan Tung,, dated
July 7, reporting that the Euro
pean troops made a sortie from
Tekin and killed 200 of General
Tung Fuh Siaug's forces and that
the Boxers were mounting guns to
make a breach in the defenses.
Under date of July 12, the Gov
ernor of Shan Tung wires as follows:
''Native Boldiers have been at
tacking the legations for some
hours, but have not yet effected
an entrance. They are now all
bombarding with large cannon, to
make a breach for a heaw on
slaught.' I hear that all the min
isters, and the government as well,
are in great danerer. The covum.
ment is intensely anxious."
.finally came the i news from
Shanghai that a breach had been
made and the foreigners killed.
A.11 the dates DrobabTv refer to a
aT '
much earlier period, but the pre
sumption is that the successive
dispatches give an outline of what
has happened. The. Europeans
having reached the end of their re
sources, made a desnerate sortie
and then bravely met. their fate.
The details of the horrible etorv
will probably never be known.
Pekln Horror.
The Shanghai corresDondent of
the Daily Mail says:
"I can assert nositivelv that th
Chinese authorities had the dread
ful news from Pekin a week ago,
and that Shen? knew all the for
eigners in Pekin were dead when
he asked the American consul to
oable Washington a proposal to
deliver the foreigners in safety at
Tien Tsin on condition that the
tlliea would suBDeud thftir nnfira.
tions to the north of Pekin."
The correspondent adds certain
details of affairs at Pekin after
J une 25. According to his story,
the members of the legations made
daily sorties, sometimes by night,
and so successfully as to compel
the Chinese to retreat from the
immediate vicinity. These revers
es had a disheartening effect upon
che Chinese, and there soon began
to appear open signs of disafl'eo
tion, followed by desertions to
Prince Ching's army, which was
endeavoring to co-operate with the
ooseigoa. Ultimately, Prince Tuan
lecided to make a night attack
with three powerful columns
"At 6 o'clock in the evening of
July 6," says the correspondent,
nre was ODened with artillerv ud
on the British legation, where the
foreigners were concentrated. For
two nourB tne walls were battered
with shells and shot, and hno-A
breaches were made in them. Then
general advance was ordered.
and the Chinese infantrv. vnllnv.
, . j
ing constantly, moved towards the
gap. the nre of the defenders,
bowever. was so accurate that
hordes of Chinese soldiers and
Boxers broke and fled in the wild
est confusion, leaving large num.
bers of dead and wounded around
the legation. They could not be
rallied until thav warn nnt of tha
rifle range of the foreigners. Then
Prince Tuan. makim? a lpnorntfl
appeal, induced them to' stand and
return to the attack. Artillerv
fire was then resumed, and at the
middle watch a second attack was
made. But before the Httftclcira
could accomplish their object they
were met by Prince Chiog and
General Wang Wen Shao, with
their troops, who were going to
the aid of the foreigners. A des
perate battle ensued between tbe
various forces of Chinese and
Manchns.
"Unfortunately, many of Prince
Ching's troops deserted to Prince
Tuan. Prince Chmg fell and was
supposed to have been killed, but
it is now believed he was only
wounded and w as carried off and
secreted by his retainers.
General Wanv Wen Khao. who.
gray-haired and 70 year old, vig
orously led his troops in person,
was killed, and his force, which
was completely outnumbered, was
routed.
KiKlitlna at Night
"Throughout the night repeated
attr.ck were made on the lega
tions, but these were repulsed with
heaw loss. Toward the end of the
watch, about 5 a. m., the allies had
practically defeated the besiegers,
who were wavering aud gradually
withdrawing.
"Just then General Tung Fuh
irrived from the vicinity of Tien
sin with a large force of Kan Ku
brw:?i m time tbe vail pf
the legation had been battered
down, and most of the buildings
were in ruins. Many of the allies
had fallen at their posts, and the
small band that was left took ref
uge in the wrecked buildings,
which they endeavored hastily to
fortify.
"Upon them the fire of the Chi
nese artillery was now direoted.
Toward sunrise it was evident that
the ammunition of the allies was
running out, and at 7 o'clock, as
the advance of the Chi
force, failed to draw a response, a
rush was determined on.
"Thus, standing Wether After
tne sun rose, the little remaining
Dana, all JLuronuAnn. mat dnnt.h
stubbornlv. There WAR R rlpKnpr-
ate hand-to-hand enoountef. The
Chinese lost heavily, but as one
man fell, others advanced, and
finally, overoome by overwhelming
oaas, every one or tne Europeans
remaining was nut to the sword in
the most atrocious manner."
The Shanghai oorrosnondent. nf
tne Jixpress. on .the al eged author
ity of couriers, who brought the
story, gives a very sensational ac
count. He savs:
Maddened with hunger, nfter
naving been without food for manv
days, the members of the lep-ntion
and the guards made a sortie on
the night of June 30 and killed
200 Chinese in an unexpected at
tack. General Tung Fuh Siang,
enraged over the loss of so many
men, brought up heavy guns, and
Prince Tuan gave the order that
every foreigner must be destroyed.
His words were: 'Destroy every
foreign vestige, and make China a
sealed book to all western powers.'
Awful Agonies.
. "In the final attempt to cut their
way through, the Legationers
formed a square, the women and
children in the center. When the
Boxers realized that they were be
ing attacked they became like wild
beasts and shot each other with
revolvers. Heavy guns bombarded
all night until the buildings were
demolished and in flames.
"Many foreigners were roasted
in the flames. The Boxers rushed
upon them and hacked and stabbed
ootn aeaa ana wounded, cutting
off their heads and can-vino- theae
through the streets on tbeir rifles.
rr i ii
iney men attacked tne native
Christian auarterB. massacred all
who refused to join them, outraged
tne women and brained the child
ren. Hundreds of minninn huilrf
ings were burned.
"All China is now aflame with
revenge against foreigners. The
extreme west only i? quiet. Even
Shanghai is menaced. In the prov
inces of Hupe and Hu Nan, thous
ands of native Christians have been
mutilated and tortured, the women
being hret outraged and then mas
sacred."
Morning papers are unanimous
in believing that the foreigners
nave been annihilated and in call
ing for retribution.
The Times publishes a letter
from its Pekin correspondent dated
June 10 which contains an asser
tion, made on seemingly good
authority, that the Empress Dow.
ager had decided that every for
eigner was to be massacred that
night. It also publishes the last
message from its correspondent,
ciatea June 14, when the Boxers
had made two attemnta to rnsh
tbe foreign quarters.
Canton dispatches say that Li
Ilung Chang had Dlanned to start
for the north Julv 18. but he is
much debilitated. lie ordered the
leader of the "Black Flag" to march
with 10,000 men overland to Pekin
against the Boxers.
It is reported from Shanghai
that the allied fleets are concen-
centrating off Shan Hai Kwan and
have been ordered to rhell and
capture the forts.

IN A NUTSHELL.
Both official news and that of the
press agencies point strongly to a
realization of the worst in the
Chinese caoital. There is the nan.
al confusion of dates, which makes
tne reports unsatisfactory, but sub.
stantial unanimity as to the main
fact, that all foreigners in Pekin,
including Ministers, suffered a hor
rible death in the second week in
July.
There has been brisk fichtino-
about Tien Tsin the nnnr, fli ron
days, the foreigners generally car
rying their points, but suffering
material losses.
Fifteen hundred United States
troops have gone to the front. '
The Washington government
will take every precaution against
violence to Chinese in the United
States, which is intimated in some
sections, in order that the force of
our demand for satisfaction from
China shall not be weakened bv
counter-claims. x

Ye tinted hills above the wooded plain,
Reflect the sunbeams o'or the breaking main;
Ye hoary peaks, august, in muteness stand.
As watohful sentries, guard our noble land,
O storm-bound cliffs and precipices bare,
O verdant dales and flowering ridges lair,
Re-tell thy river's ever-Joyous theme,
Thy sylvan wild In grandeur is supreme.
When vernal spring thy rolling valley 'twines
With fragrant blossoms and gentle creeping
vines,
As flees the greyness from the waking dawn
All nature rises unto joyous song;
The squirrels, chattering, play on branch and
tree,
The timid fawn glides Its pathway free,
And meadow lark's and robin's morning lay
Unto their mates proelame a welcome day ;
Then gleams the sunlight on the distant hills,
Jts glowing ray of bounteous woodland Alls,
And sparkling diamonds seem the glistening
dew,
And fairyland bursts on the raptured view.
Thy lofty pines, and limpid fountains fair,
Thy sunny slopes and flowers without
Thy waterfalls encrowued with sunlit spray.
Ana plunging torrents, charm our lingering
way.

COWS IN CLOVER.
Alfalfa is the king of milk-making
crops in Eastern Oregon, and
is a close cousin of clover, of which
Col. Ingersoll once said:
"A wonderful thing is clover. It
means honey and cream; that is to
say it means industry and content
ment, that is to say it means the
hum of happy bees in perfumed
fields, and at tbe cottage gate 'Old
Boss,' the beautiful, serenely chew
ing satisfaction's cud in that de
lightful twilight, which like a ben
ediction falls betwixt tbe hours of
toil and sleep. .
"A wonderful thing is clover. It
makes me dream of other days, of
childhood hours, of dimpled babies,
of loving wives and honest men, of
streams and woods and violets, and
all there is of stainless joy and
peaceful human life.
"A wonderful thing is clover.
Take away the 'o' and yon have
the happiest of mankind; take
away the 'c' and 'r' and vou have
the only thing that makes a heaven
of this dull and barren earth."
