OfflCIALS IN WASHINGTON DIFFER

WASHINGTON. Aug. G.-Tbe an
nouncement, received through Kear
Admiral Remey and Commander Taus
sig, of the reported hoary lighting oil
the river lieyond Tien Tsin, was the
news of interest, in the Chinese situa
tion. Little doubt was. expressed at
the Navy Department that the' news
was substantially correct. It 1 prob
able a latcr report may reduce the
lint of casrtnUIei among the Interna
tional force! .but It is evident that
the move oi iex;u Is at last fairly
under way, audi that a strong opposi
tion 1ms beenieneountered. Tim War
DeiKirtmeut officials, who have been
reticent fot several days a to the
news fro-ni the seat of war, admitted
today when the naval dispatches were
received that the announcement of
the little was not uuexieeted. The

oimn among various" o(H i:ils now in
Washington Ik somewhat dividtMt as
to just whatMs presaged by today's
events. The: more -optimisth are in

lcedy disintegration of the fon-es
-noiv opiiosing the march of the luter

In line With this prdi-tion. it was
proplteshs! that !! Chinese govern
ment would find means to scud the
Ministers frm Pekin under csitl.

allieil forces commenced today, . cable
?l,e British consul at Tien Tsin. un
der iat" of .August 4th.- This s the
tirst otticlrl Infonuatlon recelvHl here
that the attempt to relieve Pekin has
leitun. It Is accepted as correct. The
Uritbh consul docs not mention any
fighting, but the Shangha wesiwn.I
nt of the Daily Mall, telegraphing
Sunday, says; - f ,. . -
"The Pekin relief column is reported
to have Bufferwl a tlieck. tThe Chi
nese are said, to have adopted Tugela.
tactics, and after : several hours'
fighting, to have retreated."
This Is the only message received
In London this morning , liearing on
the reiHrts of Admiral Remey and
Commander Taussig, regarding the
engagement at Pel Tsang. In the
same cablegram, which was read in
the House of Commons, the counsul
at Ten Tsin say's; ; , i ; t
' "News from the Japanese Legation
has been received up to August 1st."
Therefore, the edicts announcing the
safety of the Ministers on that date
are confirmed. I ;
Yesterday the ' Chinese? Minister
eonrmunlcated to Lord Salisbury a
message from the Tsung II Yanien.
dated July 31st, which contains this
Important statement:
"The successful termination of the
conferene with the Ministers, for their
conveyance under escort to Tien Tsen.
Is exiieeted. but ' on account of the
re-conmencement of hostilities at
Tien Tsin code telegrams for trans
mission to the representatives of the
Powers are considered undesirable."
This appears to confirm the state
ment that the Chinese will hot en
deavor to stop the march to Pfkiu by
using the Ministers as hostage.
A Shanghai special, dated Aug. Cth,
says: .
"LI Hung Chang has odlcrally in
formed the consuls that the Ministers
left Pekin for Tien Tsin last Friday,
Aug. 3d. w.lth General Lung In com
mand of the escort. The consul are
by no means disposed to credit Earl
Li's statement." ;
All other reports that have reached
London indicate that . the Ministers
have not left Pekin. '
It Is learned nowr that the members
of the Tsung LI Ya men 'who were
IftS

put to death for their alleged pro
foreign priM-Iivities. wen Hot behead

C. Davis et aL, agent vs. the Portland
Flouring Mills Company, tlie Salem
Flouring Mills Company and Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., Judge 1L P. Boise this
morning rendered a decision of great
importance to the thousands of stor
ers of wheat in Oregon, as well as to
the bdyers of wheat stored In ware
bouses. By stipulation, tbe matter of
the- wheat stored In the warehouse at
lerry and shipped to, Balfour, Guth
rie & Co. was eliminat inl from 'the
case. Tlie decision was In favor of
the plaintiffs. It was held that the
wheat stored with T. J. Black in th
warehouses at Halsey awl Cummin;;
was the proierty of the plaintiffs tiu
til onleml sold by them, ami they
will recover from the Portia ml Flour
ing .Mills Couiany for 2ti bushels
sob! to that conoration by Black, and
3977 bushels sold to the Salem Flour
ing Mills Company, all at 49 cents per
bushel. ;
. The Portland Flouring Mills Com
pany presented an offset of and
the SalemlTouriug Mills Company of
$2110 money advanced to Black, but
not all on account of this particular
grain. It was not allowed by the
court, and the defendants will practi
cally hrtve to pay for the wheat twice
under the decision. The evidence in
dicated tliat Black was speculating on
the wheat of hi storers, and the de
cision is on the doctrine tliat when
this Is done It must lie at the risk of
the buyer and not at the risk of the
storer and that it is the business of
the buyer to know the -authority, of
the warehouseman. The case will
probably be. appealed to the supreme
court. .
