The Russians numbered 600 and were atrongly entrenched. Moat of the Chinese were out down. The Ruaslans lost?seven killed and fifteen wounded. The concert of the powers with respect to China was virtually restored by the acceptance by the United. States of the latest German plan. In the note from Berlin it was stated that the German government considered the edict of the Chinese emperor decreeing the degradation of Prince Tuau and other officiuls "the first step in the direction of peace in China." Replying to the German inquiries relative to the punishment of the guilty, Secretary Hay says "it is hoped that Mr. Conger's reply to these interrogatories will confirm the government of the United States in the opinion, which it now shares with the imperial German government, that the edict in question is an important initial step in the direction of order in China." The United States fully agrees with Germany that the ministers are best qualified to designate those who led in the outrages on foreigners and nay whether they are adequately puiMshed. It is understood that Minister Conger will confer with his colleagues in Peking relative to the points embraced in the German note, and it is expected that they will prepare an identical list of the Boxer leaders and advise how the powers shall control the execution of their punishment.The marchers were in an excited and wrathful frame of mind. When they had covered three miles of their march, they were met by officials of their organization, who, after much persuasion, induced the men to abandon their proposed trip. The strikers then turned back, though many did so reluctantly. Several eminent specialists have made experiments at the port of Vera Cruz since the offer was made. Not until this summer did any of the serums experimented with prove successful in virulent cases. At last, however, the remedy has beeu found. Men's heavy fleeced lined shirts and pants 49c each.
