London, Oct. 8.—It is reported in St. Petersburg, according to the corre- spondeut of the Times at the Russian capital, tout the Chinese fleet in For mosa strait attempted to engage the Russian cruiser Hunk, but the latter s speed frustrated the plan. The corre spondent says the allied squadron will force the ffeet to capitulate or will de stroy it. Shanghai telegrams announce that the imperial edict, dated September 30, ordering the court to lai removed to Sinan Fu, was issued owing to the famine at Tai Yuan Fu, capital of the province of Shun Si. They also ex press the opinion that the object of the recent edict regarding the degradation of the Chinese personages of high rank is merely to gain time to enable China to lie in a better jsisition to dety the powers, as the new capital will be vir tually inaccessible to foreigners. The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, discussing this aspect of the case, remarks: "The German troops have no meant of transport, aud any attempt to fol low the Chinese court would be, there fore, quite futile.” lie says the Chinese firmly believe it. the existence of a Rusao-German agree» meat, under which Russia will take all the territory not th ol the great wall and Germany the provinces of Chi Li and Shan Tung.

Washington, Oct. 6. —An interesting picture of the Transvaal »nd Free State in August, after the wave of war bavi passed over the country, is presented in a rep* rt to the state department from Uutel States Consul-General Stowe, at Cape Town, dated August 17 last. He had just returned to the Cape from a trip through the two re publics. He say» that for hundreds of miles all the wire fencing is down and cannot be used again. The |<i»t» have been burned for fuel and must be replaced, with iron posts, owing to the scarcity of timber. The plowing in progress is limited. coml>ared with former years, aud there will be large market for American cereals. By March, 1901, agricultural machinery will be wanted. Meat aud livestis k will continue to be imported. Johannesburg had only three days’ supply of meat when Mr. Mowe left the town. M bile the Boers who have returned are anxious to get to work, several mouths must elapse before things settle down to a normal basis. The government is building a new line of railway from llarrisniith to connect with the Orange Colony sys tem, so that the Netherlands railway, with its 200 | er cent dividends, will no longer huve a monopoly in the Transvaal. There w ill be a big de mand for bridge material and electrical maheinery and supplies. Lord Roberts has appointed an ad visory committee to assist him in the reopening of Johannesburg, aud to se cure the return of the mining popula tion. which the prosperity of the town depends upon. It is questionable whether an undesirable element com mon to all mining towns will be al lowed to return to Johannesburg. TELEGRAPH TO SKAGWAY.

The time oc cupied by tlie message in transit was seven hours, which, however, will be reduced one-half as soon as the line is iu working order and business reduced to a system. The route taken by the message was from Skagway to Atlin, theme over the old Atliu-Lillooet line to the Fraser river, thence to Ashcroft and on to Vancouver, from which place it was sent to Seattle. The line over which it passed to Van couver is that which the Canadian government lias been engaged in con structing for the past four lnonths.

According to the reports received here today, the whole work of the Ca nadian government will be concluded by October 10, after which the through line will be open for commercial busi ness.
