Washington, August 18.— More than
ever before is it uow necessary to make
an improvement at the mouth of the
Columbia river. That improvement
has always beeu necessary, but when
it is pointed out in the report of tbe
naval board that it is desirable to have
a drydock on the Coumbia, that makes
the necessity for the great improve-
mnt according to the latest plans of
the enigueers greater than ever, and
it now devolves upon congress to pro­
vide (or such an improvement iu the
next river and harbor bill. The Unit­
ed States has fleets upou the oceans.
It has naval vessles, it has army trans­
ports, besides the growing Pacific com-
inerce carried in vessels owned by pri­
vate corporations and individuals.
These vessels must be cared foi in the
government docks, and tt is necesasry
to have a repair station where they can
be taken care of in case of accident.
Tbe interests in the far East have de­
veloped. Instead of being less, there
w ill be more ships, aud there w ill be
more naval vessels on the l’ aoifio
coast than there are today. The neces-
sititee are greater. W e shall always
have armies in the Philippines, aud
they must have supplies, und trans­
ports must carry soldiers to and from
those distant shores. When this mat­
ter is made plaiu to the men who have
charge of preparing the next river aud
hnrbor bill, there ought to be no diffi­
culty in making the Columbia river
improvement one of such profound im­
portance by reason of the proposed
building of a government drydock and
naval station, that they w ill make
l>ro|ier provision for the improvement
of the mouth of the Columbia. This
naval station and dock are absolute
necessities in order to keep pace with
the progress and development of the
Pacific coast.

New York, August 18.— Such a furi­
ous ebullition of race hatred as found
vent in the rioting that occurred here
last night, the outgrowth of a murder
a lew days ago of Policeman Thorpe
by a negro named Arthur Harris, has
been not equaled in New York in rnuny
years.
As a result of the disturbance, which
raged from midnight until 3 o ’clock
and burst out in a flame of passion aud
violence at intervals until daybreak,
there were about 50 persons injured by
pistol balls, razors or knives, rocks and
clubs. Of these, cue negro, Lloyd Lee,
may not recover, and Policeman Ken­
nedy is also seriously injured. Lee
is alleged to have made threats agaiust

Thorpe, the murdered officer. Thorpe
was the third white man murderously
assaulted in the vicinity by negroes, a
race prejudice having been engendered.
In less than an hour from the time the
trouble began last night, tho whole ol
the west side, from Twenty-eighth
street to Longacre square, above Forty-
second street, including Eighth and
Ninth avenues, was in an uproar.
Forty ot more arrests were made. Dur­
ing the riot it is estimated that 500
police were on duty, and ambulance«
from every hospital on the west side
were kpet busy. A police estimate ol
the result puts the number of wounded
at 50, the number of arrests.

Washington, August 21.— From Gen­
eral Chaffee today the war department
received official confirmation of the fall
ot Pekin und the rescue of the besieged
legationcrs.
The dispatch of the
American commander was not long,
and contained but few details, but the
unconcealed satisfaction with which it
was received by officials of the 'admin­
istration indicated clearly the anxiety
that had been engendered by bis pro­
longed silence. His last communica­
tion to the government prior to tbe re­
ceipt of today’s advices was dated Aug­
ust 11, at Ma Tou, almost 30 miles from
Pekin. Tho explanation of his ¡silence
is suggested in advices received by the
navy department today from Admiral
Remey. who, telegraphing from Taka
Ion the 18th, says the telegraph line be­
tween that point and Pekin ie in­
terrupted.
The cablegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information
not mentioned by General Chaffee.
He makes the startling statement, on
Japanese authority, that the inner city
of Pekin was beiug bombarded by tiie
allied forces. Admiral Remey says
also that the dowager empress is de­
tained in the innor city by Prince Yun-
gedo.
Advices received last night
irum the foreign offieo at Tokio, Japan,
by the Japanese legation in this city
confirms aud amplifies previous ac­
counts of the capture of Pekin by the
allied troops.
Following is the text of the dispatch
from Genoial Chaffee, as made public
by the war department:
"Che Foo, August 21, Pekin. Au­
gust 15. — We entered legation grounds
at 5 o ’clock last night with Fourteenth
and light battery.
Eight wounded
during day’s fighting. Otherwise all
well.
C H A F F E E .”
The dispatch, which was reoeived
during the morning, was transmitted
immediately to the president at the
white house. He expressed his gratifi­
cation at the news it contained, par­
ticularly at the email loss sustained by
the American troops.
It w ill be noted that the dispatch
indicates that the Amerioan troops en­
tered the legation grounds at tfto lo o k
on the^voulng of the 14th ^ t .
By
the Washington officials and by several
legation officials to whom it was shown
the dHte of General Chaffee’s commu­
nication is regarded as an error of
transmission. It is believed that tho
date “ 15” should he “ 16.” AU prev­
ious advices, official aud unofficial,
have indicated that the legations weie
relieved on the evening of the 15th,
Wednesday, after a day of sharp light­
ing. Minister Wit, the Chinese repre­
sentative, and Minister Takahira, of
Japan, were quite positive on this
point, all their offioial advices being
that the entrance to the city ol Pekin
was effected early in the evening of
Wednesday, the 15th inst.

Alexandria, Ind., Angust 21.— The
entire plant of the Kelly Ax Manufac­
turing Company, valued at $800,000,
was destroyed by fire tonight. It was
the largest ax factoiy in the world,
employing 900 men when tunning at
full force. The insurance on the plant
is thought to be $450,000. The fire is
thought to have originated from an
overheated boiler. The fire waa dis­
covered by the watchman, and the
woodwork between the boilers and the
grinding room was ablaze. The plant
was thoroughly equipped with an au­
tomatic sprinkler, but owing to the
steam in the boilers being eo low it
would not work. The great establish­
ment was divided bv a railroad switch,
and all o( the buildings on one aide
was burned. The burned district in­
cludes the forging, drop, grinders, pol­
ishers and pattern makers' depart­
ments. Iu addition to the buildings,
machinery and half of the finished
stock, $150,000 worth of manufactured
goods were destroyed.
