There was a heavy loss of life. The wa- JLer front is lined with wreckage and stranded vessels of all descriptions. Out of US steam launches it is reported only five remained afloat, and of 72 barges all but seven drifted ashore. Twenty dead bodies were washed ashore and taken to the morgue for Identification.

The sky is uot cloudless, but there has been no backward movement of business this week. Successful operations of the allied forces in China encourage foreign money markets, while they alto suggest to our manufacturers the possible early reopening of eastern markets for goods. England's campaign in South Africa is losing its interest even among speculators. The marketing of domestic farm products is on a large scale. The chief drawback of the week has been the intense heat in some sections of the west, which was more efficient in retarding business than the lower temperature east was in stimulating it. Crop advices continue as cheerful as at any time lately, and the labor situation shows no important changes in working forces. Prices are steady, but there is talk of a decline, perhaps $10 per ton in steel rails shortly to a basis at which it is believed the railroads will be willing to place orders for the ensuing year's supplies.

The president and all the members of the administration are anxious to get the troops out of China at the earliest possible date, but it can be said on authority that there will be no immediate withdrawal of American forces unless there is an immediate change in conditions."Sure, an why not make wooden rails then?" said Jim Sheridan, the "king of Clifton." "They's wood enough up tblm hills to break a man's heart." Shirt waist season is nearing an end. What remains on hand will be disposed of rapidly at prices quoted below: HAS RUSSIA DECLARED WAR?

Bailer's Advance Strongly Opposed by Boer Sklr- Wishers. In Teller City the sick natives killed the man of the tribe in the vain hope that the act would appease the evil spirit. Thirteen deaths were reported in one day in Teller City. Cutler & Phinney. Five hundred American troops participated in a signal .-defeat of Boxers outside Tien-tsin on Aug. 19. In addition to the Americans the force consisted of 379 British and 200 Japanese, all under the British General Dorward. The fight took place at a village six miles southwest of Tien-tsin, where the allied forces found a csnsiderable number of Boxers, whom they engaged, killing over 300 and piking 64 wounded prisoners, who were sent to hospitals of the allies. The'village was burned. There is a disposition in administration circles to believe that General Chaffee's recommendation was based on military considerations alone and that he did not take political conditions into account when making it, although there is reason to think that his dispateh was sent after consultation with Minister Conger.

Reports from Nome by the steamship Tacoma say that much lawlessness prevails there: that from eight to 'a dozen robberies occur nightly and that people are not safe from attacks by thugs after nightfall.

It made tbe surprising statement, according to an official, that a Rnselan commander at Pi kin, had directed the commanders of tbe other forces not to hold communication with the Chinese. The dispatch caused the at most snrpflss here as It Is be lleved Its meaning Is that Bassla has declared war agalnet Cnlna.

The occupants of as many as 12 tents have been robbed in this manner in one night, and in one instance It was with difficulty that a victim was restored to consciousness. There is grave apprehension among members of the administration that such a condition of war may arise. The statement in the special cable dispatch from Peking yesterday morning that the Russian general asserted that his government had declared war on China has not yet been officially confirmed by either Minister Conger or General Chaffee nor from St. Petersburg, but it agrees so well with information from various sources as to the intentions of Russia as to be regarded as representing the true situation.

A mesKengpr arrived here from Sexton with a report that trouble was expected amd requested assistance frotn Center. Six men left at once for Sexton, and others went there later. The trouble grew out of a letter written by a negro making known a plot to kill Sheriff William Polley, Daniel Davis, James Ingram and several other citizens. A negro who received the letter took it to Sheriff Polley to read for! htm. He was arrested on the spot, and the sheriff took a posse with him and arrested 13 other negroes. Ah examination is being held at Sexton. So quickly and quietly was Peck brought into the city* sentenced and sent on to Columbus that but very few people knew what had transpired. This consideration, taken in connection with Germany's preparations to send a large army to China when the need for more troops there has passed, gives ground for fear that the emperor may cherish designs of occupying territory and remaining there permanently on the plea that order has not been restored nnd that the presence of (ierman troops is necessary. It is believed by the administration that there are evidences of nn understanding between Germany and Russia.

The administration will do everything that can be done by peaceful means to prevent the dismemberment of China,' but this country will not be pluuged into war with any power or combination of powers to prevent that partition.
