NO LATE NEWS FROM PEKIN
Special to the Uuard.
Washington, August 21. A dispatch from Shanghai,
which is undated, bears practically no new information.
It states that the wires from Tien Tsin have been cut, and
no information has been received from that point.
The position of the allied forces is . unknown, on ac
count of failure to get runners through with news.
Many Chinese troops have taken the field, and the
whole country presents a distinctly military appearance
A report that the allied army has entered the Sacred
City has been received at Shanghai. This information
alone shows that the dispatch must be several days old.
CHINESE TROOPS MOVING.
Tien Tsin, August 16. Five thousand troops have
left Sung Lui Ching for Peit Sang, and another force of
2,000 have left for Tun Chow.
BLAMES CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
Bpeoial to the Guard.
Washington, August 21. Minister Conger blames the
Chinese government for the trouble which is now culmi
nating.
Minister Conger in a report lust received states that
the allied relief force entered the city with practically little
trouble. He states that no more deaths have resultod, and
that all are well.
A desperate effort was made last night to annihilate
the legations but without effect. This will probably be the
last concerted attempt made by the Chineso.
llie war department gives out some inside information
contained in the report from. Minister Conger. Ho claims
that the statements that the Boxers are responsible for all
the trouble and effort to drive out foreigners is a hoax, and
that,on the contrary, the Chinese government is at tno bot
tom of the trouble, and have used the name Boxer as a
catspaw, with which to deceive the powers.
11 is apparent that our minister has given good reason
for his belief and in due time the department of state will
act as it deems advisable in the premisos.

SKAGWAY SHOOK FOR SEVEN
TY SECONDS.
Earthquake Split a Mountain,
Dammed a Stream and Tore
Down Two Buildings at
Dawson.
Chicago, Aug. 20. A special to tbe
Record from Vancouver, B. C, say
Tbe steamer Cutob, which has arrived
from Bkagway, brought news that the
earthquake, en August 10, shook
Skagway for 70 seconds, and was even
more severely felt In Dawson. All the
way down the river the shook was ap
parent, and at several places was par
ticularly defined. At Dawson, two
small government buildings In course
of construction were toppled over.)
Arrivals from the Stewart river, half
way down the Yukoa to Dawson, say
the mountain there was split in two.
One stream was dammed up partially
by fallen rock, and It turned Into the
newly formed canyon at the mnuntaln.
Five miles of this stream and two

S. Smeed, the Veteran
Grower, Leads the Procession.
SHIPS je BALES.
Stephen Smeed, the well known hop
grower, of Waltervllle, brought In to
day 36 bales ot Fugles hops to be
shipped to Milwaukee, Wis. He says
he thsuks they are already sold as be
sent samples a week ago by mall with
such lustruotions, but he has no idea
of the prioe. He commenced picking
these hops one week agoyesterday ; that
they are choice; that he secured 40
bales where lait year he only had 88;
that they made from 1500 to 2000
pounds per acre. This is a very large
yield for this variety of hops.
He says he baa the largest orop of
bops he ever raited In his 20 years'
experience in Oregon, and they are
freer from lice than for years. He
thinks Oregon's orop tbls year will
burprise everybody because they will
all be picked as the vermin has not
hurt them as In former years, thus pre
venting the pick lug of a considerable
portion of each orop.
He says that he does not think the
prices will be high, and will sell as
soon as he has his orop in the bale.
Tbe dealers always talk high prices
just before picking. High 'prices can
not prevail this year, or I am badly
mistaken, said Mr Smeed.
AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Work Begun on Road From
Brownsville to Blue River
Mines.
'Albany. Or.. Aua. 20. One of the
moat Important enterprises In this
county Is that of a road Into the Blue
River mines, which was begun tills
morning from south of Brownsville,
and which will be pushed through as
fast as money can be raised for the
pnrpose. A liberal subscription has
already been started, and tbe county
court will be asked for an appropria
tion. Though the mines are Just south
of the boundary line in Lane county,
a toad into tbe mines from this county
will bring them a number or milts
nearer the railroad than by tbe present
long road In from Lane county. The
mines In the first place were brought
Into prominence by Linn county men,
who now own many claims In tbe
district, and recent rich strikes rave
added to the purpose to bave an outlet
irora tnis side."
Tbe above dispatch appeared in
today's Oregonian. Lane oounly has
had a road close to the mines for years,
and for the past live or six years has
had a road to the top of Gold Hill, the
cjnter of the district. Tbe mines have
been worked some since early in the
'UO's. At tbe present time Lane county
Is improving tbe road to the amount
of $5,300. Tbe Brownsville road will
run over tbe top of mountains, If ever
constructed. The Laue county road is
on a water level going up tbe McKen
zie river and Gate Creek. The.dls
tance Is not muoh different. Eugene
Is naturally the headquarters for these
mines, and will remain so.
