KJ Hung Chang Will Not Leave Canton
Until After the International Troops
Have Defeated Prince Tuati's Forces«
London, July 16.—The scanty cable
dispatches received today add nothing
to the knowledge in Loudon of the
Chinese situation. It is stated posi
tively from Canton that Li Hung
Chang will remain there uutil the al
lied tioops have defeated Prince Tuan’s
forces, and will then go noith to lend
his powerful aid in arranging terms of

threatened to exterminate the foreign

BOLD
PLAN
OF
THE
BO«iRS.
•VutJiH's Army I* Trying to Recapture
Pretoria.
London, July 16.—Lord Roberts’
dispatch, reporting still another un
fortunate occurrence, throws a serious
light upon the state of affairs in South
Africa. There has been some com
tnent recently regarding the virtual
absence of piogress by the immense
army under command of Lr»i Rob
erts, but few, could have been found to
believe that the scattered Boers were
able to inflict such a defeat so near
Pretoria.
Instead of the surrender of all of the
remaining Boers being imminent, as
recent telegrams had hinted, it seems
they have been making a concerted at
tempt to surround or recapture Pre
toria, with so much success that in the
region which was supposed to be paci
fied, and in which no attack was ex-
pec td, they succeeded in inflicting a
serious defeat, and capturing two guns
and some 200 men. It is evident that
General Botha has considerable force,
seeing that he is able to press Lord
Roberts’ lines at half a dozen points
around Pretoria, from the springs to
the southeast of rhe city northward to
Middelburg and Durdepoort and thence
southward to Nitial’s Nek and Krug-
ersdorf.
Lord Roberts omits to give the name
of the commander concerned, giving
rise to the belief that worse remains to
be told. Even if the mishap be not
more grave than his information at
present implies, it proves that the situ
ation is still serious, and that there is
no possibility of any troops being spared
from South Africa for China, but on
the contrary, it will still take a long
time to clear the country of the Boers.
News lias reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from a seri
ous bowel complaint, and that Lady
Roberts was hurriedly summoned to
Bloemfontein.
Ounpowder Plot In Pari«.
Paris, July 16.—Inquiries are being
made into what may possibly turn out
to he a serious attempt to destroy the
grand palace of the Champs Elysee,
Wednesday night. A watchman of
cellars which were filled with package
cases and a large quantity of other in
flammable material overheard a c< n-
versation between two men, leading
him to believe that a plot was on foot
to set fire to the building. The mis
creants fled upon his approach. A
search the next morning resulted in
the discovery of two hermetically seal
ed boxes filled with black powder.
The chemical pro|>erties of this pow

Slaty Bodies Recovered From the Ill-

Raise« Her Flag Over Niue, In the South
Pacific Ocean.
New York, July 13.—TwentY-four
bodies were recovered from the hold of
the burned steamship Saale today,
which makes the total number of dead
taken from this ship alone 60. Most
of the bodies were so badly burned os
mutilated that recognition was impos
sible, but several were identified by
initials or names on articles taken from
parts of their clothing that sometimes
remained. Some of them appeared to
be workmen from the ship. The pumps
were worked in the Saale today, and by
2:80 this morning the vessel was float
ed. The ship was in nine or 10 feet of
mud, and when she finally loosened
herself from thia body, she seemed to
jump fully two feet out of the water.
Four of the bodies brought up were those
of women. It s thought that at least
two of these were employed in the stew
ard’s department.
After the ninth body had been
brought up, the men at work in the
hold in search for bodies announced
that they had counted 15 piled in a
heap in the steward’s room. The door
o this room was found locked. The
fire did not get near the unfortunate 15,
and their lives might have been saved,
but the breaking of the glass windows
let the room fill with smoke and they
were drowned like rats in a trap.
These Ixidies were found in a better
state of preservation than those previ
ously found.
At 7 P. M. the men quit work be
cause they could not see in the hold.
There was then eight more bodies, ac
cording to reports, in the steward’s
room. How many more there were in
the ship no one could tell. It was be
lieved by the workmen that all had
been found. All the faces of the dead
w’ere horribly distorted and swollen.
The odor of the bodies pervaded the
ship, and was detected on the Jersey
shore when the wind shifted that way.
Up to tonight 159 bodies of victims
had been recovered and eight more
known to be on the Saale had been lo
cated, but not taken out. This makes
167 bodies recovered from the ships,
river and bay. One otlper was found

Bradstreet’s says: While trade is

beginnings of improvement in demands
are apparently becoming visible. The
improvement is still one of tone, rather
than of demand, but with a yield of
540,000,000 bushels of wheat, a next
to record breaking yield of corn, and a
very large p>ro|xirtion of oats,’the West
ern crop situation contains many en
couraging features. The Southern cot
ton crop has undoubtedly suffered, and
conditions are unpirecedentedly low
for this season of the year, but the
acreage planted was a large one, and
prices are so much higher that a satis
factory financial return is confidently
looked for.
The effort of the big iron and steel
concerns to control prices, if really
made, has proven alxirtive, and another
wholesale slashing of quotations is to
be repxjrted this week.
The industrial situation is rather bet
ter as a result of agreements upx>n wages
