Washington, July 23.— As was an ticipated, the Japanese government has given its cheerful assent to tbe applica tion of the United States government fur permission to laud troops and m ili tary supplies at Nagasaki in transit to Taku. China. This privilege was de sired in order that the Pacific trans ports plying between San Francisco and Manila should not deviate from the regular route, but that the troops and ■took carried hy them and intended for service in China might be transferred at Nagasaki to other vessels of the transport service and taken direct to Taku. The Japaneae authorities not only have agreed to the proposed use of Nagasaki, but they also have assured the United States government that they w ill facilitate the movement of Am eri can troops and snppliea as lunch as poe- I sible. The quartermaster's department j of the army has provided three large transports of the Philippine service for use on the line between Nagasaki and Taku, and it is expected in this way to expedite the movement of troupe to China. The state department has issued the following bulletin: “ The secretary of state received this morning a dispatch from Consul Fowler at Che Foo, dated midnight, July 19, saying a Shanghai paper of the 16th said all foreigners were murdered. Fowler wired the governor demanding the truth. The governor replied that his courier left l’ekin on the 11th, and all then were safe, but Pekin, east city, hail been carried by the rebels, with the intent to k ill.” IM P R O V E D R a ilr o a d « m ga »« g* subaorlptlon Price Payable Iaearlahly la Advanee.

It. & N. ana ita connec tions are placing in operation a much better grade of tourist sleepers for Pa cific Coast service than at any previous time. The largely increased traffic to this section of the country has demand ed all the improvements of lutter-day transportation, and in consideration of this the railroads are establishing a service which is excellent in every par ticular. Not only are the wisheatof the first-class passengers served, but those who are traveling to and from the Fust on second-class tickets are splendidly oared for. There was u time when a tourist sleeper appealed to a limited nninher of people who were traveling on the “ cheap” order, in every ttteaning of the term. Now, however, there has been a radical change. W ith the better tourist sleep ers in operation tire class of pusaengera Iras been improved, and one may now travel upon them and enjoy all the privileges of a first-class sleeuer at a greatly reduced rate. Daily, on the O. R. & N. east-bound fast mail, ia attached one of these latest improved tourist sleepers, a model of beauty and hansome appoint ments. The new cars are almost an exact counterpart of the first-class sleepers. One noticeable feature of the new tonrist cars is the absence of a smoking apartment. The new cars being Imilt by the Pullman Company are not pro vided with smoking apartments. This new departure has been taken because of the fact that most through trains aie provided with composite cars, which provide a smoker (or the sleep- in -ca r passengers. Two M i l l « Rurn«d.

THF SAILER SANK IMMEDIATELY C lc v e n o f H e r C r e w W e r e D ro w n e d -« C am panti* N o t M u ch D »iu «| «d . London, July 24.— A dense fog hong • •ver the Irish channel yesterday morn ing, and the Cunard line steamer Cam pania, en roate from New York lor Liverpool, struck the Liverpool bark Fuihleton, bound for New Zealand, amidships, catling her in twain. The Fmhleton sank immediately. Seven of the crew were rescued, but it is be- lieved the other 11 members of the ship’ s company, including the captain, were drowned. The Campania had her bows stove in, bat arrived safely at Liverpool, five and a half hour« late. The Campania had a narrow escape front serioua disaster. The fog had delayed her passage since Friday noon, and a tender went ont from t^neens- town four miles, as Captain Walker would not take the liner near shore. At Tnskar light, the fog was becoming denser every moment. When the Cam pania was about 30 miles northeast of the light a phantom ship rose suddenly, without warning, directly across her bows. Thirty seconds later the phan tom had become a solid sailing vessel, into which the liner crashed, her steel forefoot going through the Embleton like the clean ent of a sword, and dividing her jc** abaft the mainmast. The forward half sank instantly. The stern swung vioiously round, and the mast and yards for a moment tore at the Campania. A lamp of wreckage came down on her deoks. Then the stern of the bark also disappeared, and the face of the ssa was littered with splintered timbers, boxes, barrels, the upper works and lighter cargo, the deok houses and such things. Then there was nothing, From the instant when the phantom came into view from the bridge of the Campania nntil the last vestige of the vessel vanished some 60 or 80 seconds had elapsed. According to the Fmbleton’s surviv ors, for nearly half an honr before the collision, the oaptain and first officer wero below at breakfast, and, although the fog whistle of a large steamer could be heard every ininnte, the bark never shifted her coarse, the helmsman re ceiving no orner. When, at 8:25 A. M., tbe second officer, to nse his own phfase, “ heard She rush of a sVoamer’a bows,” he shouted down to the captain, who rnshed on deck, bat he was too late to give an order. The Capmauia was nndar one-third steam. The captain, first officer and pilot were on the bridge. The engines were instaniiy reversed, and the helm put hard down. No precaution was omitted. Some of her passengers had even grumbled at what they oalled superfluous caution. After the crash and the sudden cries, the boats were qnlckly gotten ont. There ware no signs of panic; the crew was every where at their station*; the bulkheads were closed and everything possible was done to save life.
