London, Augnst 24.— “Today 1,500 Americans attacked the imperial pal ace," Hava a dispatch to the Morning l’oat from Pekin, dated August 15, “and captured four of the courts. The Americana flag is tiyiug over the im perial grauarv and the imperial bank has been looted.” Describing the relief, the Daily Mail's correspondent cables: “August 12, the Tsuug li Yamun requested a conference with a view to peace. No armistice was granted, however, and that night we endured the longest fusillade of the whole siege. It lasted 12 hours. August 13 the Tsuug li Yamnu begged to be excused from any conference, saying that the members were too busy. Later they wrote that they had forbidden firing on us and would court-martial any who disobeyed. During the evening many shells fell iu the legation grounds.” The Daily Chronicle publishes an interview with the Japanese minister iu London, which iepresents him as having said: “The empress is the heart and soul of Chiua. As long as she lives, so long as she remains in Chiua, whether the supreme power is taken from her or not, she will always be the greatest force, the one above all others to be reckoned with. The difficulty will be to get anv one who can speak for her. 1 fear that the powers must come to a final understanding quickly. Riots, anarchv, bloodshed and misery through out China will be the inevitable result of the policy that does not immediately disclose itself. The government must be re-established.” The Jaapnese envoy expressed his approval of the reported American sug gestion regarding a conference of the powers and said be believed that satis factory pecuniary compensation could be secured, despite the fact that the revenues are pledged. Field Marshal von Waldersee, ex presses the opinion that l>is labors in China will be of long duration, “as pacification will be a difficult under taking.” Three hundred and seventy-five thousand Russian troops are already in the far East or already on the way there by land and sea and under orders to embark. Old Man Still Game. New York. August 27.—‘‘Whipped into insensibility in less than two rounds,” is the story in brief of Tom Sharkey’s meeting with Bob Fitzsim mons at the Coney Island Sporting > ’lull tonight. Fitzsimmons, was the; victor, Sharkey was the loser. Fitz- j simmous said all along that when an : opportunity presented itself he would prove conclusively that h J was Shar key's superior and settle accounts for the injustice done him when he met Sharkey in California four years ago. Sharkey was eqqually confident that he would prove to be Fitzsimmons master in the ring, lm\ the result of tonight’s battle and the brevity of it proved that Fitzsimmons is still a great fighter ami able to beat the best 1 of the heavyweights. He has beaten Corbett, Rubini and Sharkey. A S hi » Francisco Boycott. San Francisco. August 27.—The Building Trades Council, representing 28 trade organizations, has ordered a general boycott of all goods turned out by nine-hour planing mills. The ac tion is the result of the millowners’ peremptory declaration that under no circumstances would they consent to arbitiation or accede to the demands of the employes for an eight-hour work day. Resolutions declaring the nine- hour mills unfair and ordering the trade unions to refuse to “handle, pla, e t or work on any building where unfair mill work constitutes a part of the structure.” have lieen adopted by a unanimous vote ol the council. Omaha’« Population. Washnigton, August 27.—The popu lation of the city of Ohaha, Neb., ac cording to the official account of the returns of the twelfth census is 102,555 for 1900 against 140,452 in 1890.

Again We are on Friendly Ter»»« With Our Late Enemy. Washington, August 23.— Minister Storer, at Madrid, informs the state department that a treaty of amity commerce and navigation and general intercourse has been signed, provision ally, by the minister of state and him self, This practically marks the last step in the complete restoration of re lations between Spain and the United States The new treaty modernizes the treaty relations netweeu the two nations. Prior to the seveiance of all communi cation upon the declaration of war with Spain, the two governments were proceeding under terms of a treaty ne gotiated in the last century. It was very cumbersome, and iu some respects wholly inapplicable to existing condi tions, one provision, for instance, relat ing to trade between the United States and Florida as ayolony of Spain. Sev eral efforts were made to remedy the defects, Imt only one was partially suc cessful, the adoption of the Cushing protocol. The last attempt was made when Mr. Olney was secretary of state. Imt the strained relations growing out of the Unban affairs caused the effort to fail. It is understood that Minister Storer negotiated with Dupuy <1$ Lome, ex Spanish minister to the United States, and now under secretary of state, who, of course, is thoroughly conversant with all the conditions of trade likely to arise. Although the general provisions arc not known in detail at this stage, it is understood that the instrument pro vide« the usual facilities for intercom munication, and probablv contains pro visions which carry out those relations growing out of the territorial condi tions resulting from the war. FORCES MASSED. Eight Tl»ou«an<l of Them Are Gathered at Michadodorp. Twyeelaar, August 24.—Through secret intelligence agents, the British authorities learn that General Louis Botha, the commander-in-chief of the Boer focies; General Lucas Meyer, the commander of the Orange Free State forces, and GenerHI Schalkburger, vice-president of the Transvaal repub lic, with 8,000 Boers, have assembled at Macliadodorp (generally understood to be the headquarters o’ President Kruger, on the Pretoria-Delagoa bay lailroad), with the whole Boer artil lery, including the heavy pieces form erly at Pretoria. Pretoria Plotter Convicted. Pretoria, August 24.—The trial of Lieutenant Cordua, formerly of the Transvaal artillery, on charge of being concerned in the plot to kidnap Gen eral Lord Roberts, was concluded to day. The prisoner was found guilty of all the counts in the indictment against him, but sentence was deferred until the findings of the court shall have been confirmed by Lord Roberts. Colonel Godfrey, the judge, in sum ming up, caused a sensation by declar ing that a violation of parole was pun ishable with death. His speech, which dilated on the weakness and vagueness of the prisoners' defense, was listened to with profound interest by the audi ence, which was mostly composed by men of Dutch Firth. A period of 45 minules was occupied iu considering the verdict. Motorman Re«poii«l ble.
