Taku, China, June 17, 1900. Sir: I would state what follow in regard to the happenings previous to tbe resolve yesterday by other senior foreign naval officer here to get possession ot the Takn forts: 2 On Thursday, June 14. Rear- Admiral Bruce called and asked what I thought of the matter, and I inform ed him that I waa not authorised to initiate any act of war with a country with which my country waa at peace; that my limit was to protect American interests, both by regulations and under recent instructions from both the de partment and from the commander-in- chief of the United State naval force on tbe Asiatio station. 8 On the 15th, at a consultation of the other foreign naval officer, it was agreed that the railroad station at Tong Ku should be taken (the railway ia under Chinese government control), and in case any Chinese government force acted against the force of any for eign nation, all should be involved and act unitedly. Under my Inst actions. I could not join in taking possession of Chinese government property, and did not care to become a party to such an agreement without special authority. "4 lesteiviay, June 16, the same foreign naval officers signed a compaot that it was necessary to take temporary possession of the Takn forta and notice was served on tbe viceroy at Tien Tsin and on Uie commandant of the forta. Consuls at Tien Tsin were informed of what was contemplated. I did not join in the attack on the forts. Captain Wise, of the Monocacy, bad orders to protect American interests, baaed upon tbe department order, but in case of attack by a Chinese government force, be was to consider it as a declaration of war and act accordingly.

Springfield, 111., Jnly 81. Ten per sons were injured, two fatally, by the premature discharge of the evening gun at tie National guard encampment, Camp Lincoln, this evening. The ex plosion waa caused by some one throw ing a lighted cigarette Into powder which bad fallen to the ground. , The accident occurred in the presence of a large crowd of visitor to the camp. Corporal Balaley and Jesse Ruppert, acting quartermaster, were loading tbe evening gun, assisted by several men of Battery A. A sack of powder wa placed in the mouth of the cannon, and Ruppert waa about to drive the charge home. The powder sack waa too long tor the gnn, and in forcing it into the cannon the canvas waa torn, some of the powder falling to the ground just below the nozzle of the cannon. Priv ate Ruppert stood facing the gnn, ram rod in hand. Balaley also faced the gnn, while a number of soldier and civilian were gathered around, despite the command of the officer in com mand to keep back. Suddenly some one ottered the words: "Watch them scatter." There waa a flash of powder on the ground, the flames were communicated to the powder which waa to be fired in the cannon and the gun waa discharg ed. The ramrod was broken and shot from the cannon and Balaley and Rup pert had their clothes blown from their bodies, which were blackened with powder. The other staggered back, burned and blinded. The wounded were taken to the hospitals. Some say it was man in uniform who threw the cigarette, but an eye witness declares it was a small boy. North Dakota Tornado. Ilillsboro, N. D., July 31. A severe tornado passed through Traill county yesterday afternoon, and across the river into Minnesota, where it split into two parts. The path of the storm iu Traill county waa 87 milea long and four miles wide. Three miles north of Caledonia the boose of Thomas Everson was demolished and bis 17-year-old son killed. At Caledonia the city ball and Presbyterian church were wrecked, and nearly every building in tbe town waa injured. So far a known, th Everson boy vaa tbe only one killed. Tha Hum. Taadra Biiraad. Seattle, Jnly 80 .A special to the times says: Cape Nome waa treated to a great conflagrationn early in this month. Milea and milea of tundra was burned over and many native homes destroyed. The fire began close to the eastern suburb of Nome and awept the country from the outer edge of the sand beach to tbe foothill and far belw Cape Nome, so that th sur face look like a vast prairie that haa been burned over. Kiveraide penitentiary wa thwarted today by accident. The first theory advanced, when tbe matter was dis covered, seemed to point to the release of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist, who is serving a 22-year sentence for the shooting of II. C. Frlck, during the big Homestead strike of 1892, but the conclusion reached tonight by Diiector Mnth, of the Alleghany police depart ment, is that the real object of the res cue! s was to secure the freedom ot the real estate swindler, J. C. Boyd, who i terving a seven-year sentence in the penitentiary. This opinion ia shared by tbe Pittsburg police officials also, and many reason are brought forward to confirm ths theory. Among these are the fact that Boyd is wanted in nearly every state in the Union on charge of real estate swindles, a confederate all over tbe country, and i accounted one of the wealthiest pris oners in Riverside. It i argued that Berkman' frienda conld not afford the expenaive outfit Which waa uted in thin Instance, and their resources oould not possibly equal those of Boyd 'a confed erates. Tbe plan by which the rescuers hoped to reach tbe inside of the peni tentiary wall waa by a tunnel from tbe cellar of a bouse on Sterling street, nearly opposite one of the gate. Their work is remarkable, considering tbe obstacle to be overcome. Investiga tion today abows that the funnel was over 200 feet long, bat becnase of its tig-sag character had not reached the prison wall. One of tbe officers who crawled a dirtance of 201 feet in the dark passageway today waa compelled to return before reaohine- ita end hr reason of tbe fonl gas arising. From thia it is inferred that the tunnel had tapped a sewer. Director Muth, how ever, believe that tbe dead body of one of the tnnnelers will be discovered tomorrow when tbe tunnel is opened from tbe surface.
