from tho United States consul at Clio

"Oho Foo, August 20 Sccrotary of

"FOWIilCIt."
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.

IS UP TO CONGRESS.
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.
Itacn War Currlnil mi With it lllcli
Hiiutl Slimy Injured.
I Now York, August 18. 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. Of theso, ono negro, Lloyd Lee,
J may not recover, and Policeman Ken
, nedy ia also seriously Injured. Leo
ia alleged to havo made threats against
the lifo of Kennedy becauso he was the
particular friond nnd associate of
Thorpe, the murdered officer. Thorpo
was tho third white man murderously
assaulted in the vicinity by negroes, a
raco prejudice having been engendered.
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. A police estimate of
tho rosult puts the number of wounded
at 50, tho number of nrrests.

MINES AND MINING.
Klondike Output of Gold for the Tear
1000 Will Reneh a Toml of
8X15,000,000.
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.

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. Tho doclino was severo and re
covery must be slow, but gradual ad
vance and moderately increasing activ
ity aro moro healthy thau violent
changes. In no single division is tho
improvement moro striking than in any
other. Except steel rails, all forms of
iron from tho oro to tho finished pro
duct aro being sought more eagerly and
with less effort to seenre further con
cessions in prices, but when the socro
tary of agriculture was reported aa pre
dicting "dollar wheat" beforo tho end
of tho year, the market showed an in
clination to disagree, and the Septem
ber optiou fell below 80 centa for tbe
iirst time in two months.
