Previous information which had boon received hero showed that tho allies took possession of Tung Chow tho 12th Inst. From that city to I'ekiu tho dis tanco is not very great, not more than it dozen miles. It seems evident, thoreforo. that tho armies halted for a tinio at Tung Chow, probably for tho purpose of giving the men a reat and preparing for tl.o attack upon tho cap ital city iu force after waiting until the rear of tl.o advancing hosts should arrive lit tho iront. Possibly also tho delay was tho result of negotiations be gun by tho Chinese olllclais looking In tho delivery of tho ministers with a Chinese or other uscuit. If negotia tions were attempted they must hava failed, as tho army coiitiuued on its march and attacked tl.o capital threo days after reaching Tung Chow. Tho officials heio wero awaio of the fact that tho stronghold of tl.o Boxers was in tlio Chinese city and for tho nlllos to attempt to force their way through into tho Tartar city, in which tho legation compounds aro located, might mean a great loss of lifo and possibly a defeat It was also known that tho imperial troops who havo sided with tlm ISoxurs were, many of them, iu or near tho Chinese city, and that much of the aitillery and rifle which has boon poured into the lega tions had been from the walls operating tho two cities. Thoso facts woro evidently communi cated to General Chaffee and the other commanding officers of the allies. Hoalizing these obstacles, it appears that tho allies decided to attack the city by tho east gate. Thero are four gates to tlio city on tho oast, two load ing to tho Chinese city and two to the Tartar city. Just which one of theso w.ih selected as the attacking point Consul Fowler's dispatch does not dis close. Contrary to tho press reports of to day Consul Fowler's dispatch shows that tho attack on tho city mot with strong resistance. Tlm Japaneso force engaged with tlio adavnee, according to thu understanding of tho officials hore, numbered 10,000 111011, so tho loss suffered by them was over 1 per cent. Allowance is mado for losses in tho forces of thu other armies, but it la presumed that it was in proportion to that of tho Japanese. Httniiurr itmort Humeri. Macklnao Island, Mich,, August 20.

KeceMlly for tlm I niprnveinent of the CoIiiuiIjIu Hirer, Washington, August 18. Moro than over boforo is it now necessary to make an improvement at tho mouth of tho Columbia river. That Improvement has always been necessary, but when it ia pointed out in tho report of tho naval board that it ia desirable to havo 11 drydock 011 tho Coiimhia, thnt mnkoa the necessity for tl.o groat improvo mnt according to tho latest pluns of tho cnigncers greater than over, and it now devolves upon congress to pro vido for such an improvement in the noxt river and harbor bill. Tho Unit ed States has fleets upon tho oceans, it has naval vossIch, it has army trans ports, besides tho growing Pacific com merco carried in vessels owned by pri vate corporations and individuals. Theso vctsols must bo cared for in tho government docks, and it is necosasry to havo a repair station whero thoy cnu bo taken caro of in cuso of accident. Tl.o interests in tho far F.ast havo de veloped. Instead of being less, thero will bo moro ships, and thero will bo moro naval vossols on tho Pacific coast than thero aro today. Tho nocos Hititca aro greater. Wo shall always have armies in tho Philippines, and thoy must have supplies, and trans ports must carry soldiers to arid from thoso distant shorea. When this mat ter is made plain to tho men who havo chargo of preparing tho next river and harbor bill, there ought to bo no diffi culty in making tho Columbia rivor improvement ouo of such profound im portance by reason of tho proposed building of a government drydock and naval station, that thoy will make proper provision for tho improvement of tho mouth of tho Columbia. This naval station and dock are absolute necessities in order to keep paco with the progress and development of the Puiilic coast. RIOTING IN NEW YORK.

Such a furi ous ebullition of raeo haired as found vent in tho rioting that occurred hero . last night, tlio outgrowth of a murder a low days ago of Policeman Thorpo by a negro named Arthur Harris, has ! been not equaled in ow York In mauy ! years. As a result of tho disturbance, which raged from midnight until S o'clock and hurst out in 11 llama of passion and 1 violeueo at Intervals until daybreak, ' thoro wero about GO persona injured by pijtol balls, razors or knives, rocks and clubs.

In less than nn hour from the time the troublo began Inst night, tho wholo of tho west side, from Twenty-eighth street to Longacre square, abovo Forty second street, including Eighth nnd Ninth avenues, was in an uproar. Forty or moro arrests were made. Dur ing the riot it is estimated that GOO police were on duty, and ambnlancea from every hospital on tho west side were kpet busy.

Dawson, Y. T., August 18. The Klondiko output of gold during tho vent 1U0O will reach $25,000,000. Improved methods of mining, resulting from tho introduction of suitable ma chinery, together with n better knowl edge of conditions hero, etc., cheapen ing tho tost of production, and ground thnt was formerly unprofitable ia now paying. Wages aro fairly good, $5 per day and board being tho ruling pay, and, while thoro nro many idle men complaining of dull times, one who really wants work can got it. The action of the Canadian govern ment in prohibiting relocations on all tho creaks nnd closing Bonanza and El dorado to locations, ia driving out tho prospector and small miner, and re tards devolopmment to that extent. Capital la coming in, however, nnd group-) nud blocks of claims aro being bought up for large workings. It ia tho old story of tho indivldnal minor giving wuy to tho syndicates, and hunting new prospects. Hundreds of thoso during the last spring have left the Klondike and gono to American territory, whore, it is claimed, the poor man has a bettor chance than here. Nome has taken tho majority, but many havo gono to nearer points. Au early rush went to the Koynkuk, but lato reports from thero aro very unfavorable. Partios just returned say that very llttlo gold has been takon ont in that camp, and tho ground "ia ex ceedingly difficult to work, on account of glaciors which overlie the bedrock. Tho Forty-Mile and Birch Creek dig gings, both of which were practically desortcd in tho rush to Dawson in 1807 and later In tho Nome stampede last fall, are again coming into favor, for it tas never been disputed that there i much good ground there that will pay wages nnd more. Tho latest candidato for popular fa vor Is tho Tanana district. Reports from thero are gonerally good. The ground is three to seven feet deep only, ovorlaying a slate and purphry bed rock, and thero ia plenty of wnter for sluicing, nil of which makes it nn ideal couurty for summer working. It is said to be easily approached from the Tanana river. One to four ounces per day is said to be the nsual amount per man, shoveling into the sluices. The recont action of the United States government in aurveyiug a rail road and telegraph route from Valdos to Eagle City, and ita promptness in pushing through n trail with stations, etc., along the lino, is attracting much attention here. The further fact that the various civil officers for the eastern division of Alaska, embracing the Koy uknk, Tanana and Yukon water-sheds, are now duly installed nt Eagle City, gives great satisfaction. It is a long step in the right direction, and great developments may bo expected in Alas ka within a few years. Northwest Notes.

ALL ARE EAGER TO BUY. Country Is Actively rreparln for th Fall Trade. IT. G. Dun & Co. 'a weekly roview ot trade says: After a great wave of ad vancing prices, optimism as tobusines is generally dangeious. But the top was reached the middle ot March, sine which tiino reaction has come to every grAit industry, so thnt consumers aro asking whethor in somo directions tho decline may havo not been reasonably large as was the advance, and whotnor buying on the prosent basis of pricea is not fairly sure. Thoro nro fresh evi dences of wenknesa in raw materials, notably tho break in structural iron, bnt each ono is availed of to placa heavy contracts. New York is wel coming buyers from all over tho coun try in larger numbers than for many years at this soason, in drygoods, gro ceries, in jewelry and in hardware, and if contracts 'are not placed to aa largo a volume aa oxpected, it is be cause of the conservatism of thoso who think they may compel somo further shading of pricos. Reports this wook from other Important points of distri bution show the same cagerno'ss to buy when tho timo seems right. It ia be coming mofo apparent that tho bottom, has been reached in prices of iion and steel.
