The j Boxers moved away from the advancing marines and apparently | dispersed into the country, leavI mg the rails and the sleepers burn i,lg"The marines when two miles in advance of the first train, near I Lang Fang, suddenly perceived i Boxers streaming from a village on their left. It was estimated I that they numbered 2,000, some i I of them being mounted, and they I wore trying to get between the marines and the train. Most of i them were armed with spears and swords. A few had firearms 1 which they handled awkwardly, i . The marines retreated, keeping up i a running tight for over a mile > and killing between 20 and 30 Boxei s. {j "The Boxers pursued the Britiah | for some distance. Then, seeing more marines from the train coming to their assistance, Major r .Johnson's sixteen men halted and poured a heavy and continuous lire into the crowd, driving them a toss the front of the re enforce - : ing blue jackets, who punishod the Boxers severely with Maxims. * "The Boxers tied and the : Europeans, following up their |success, cleared out two villagos. : I The total loan of tho Boxers is j estimated at 40 killed nnd wounded. Seven of their wounded were ( . I attended by British surgeons. The British loss was nothing. "Unless their loss causes the [ . Boxers to lose heart, the interna- , r tional column will have much trouble before reaching Uekin. tj The?railway is so much damaged 1 that the column covered only 04 J miles Sunday and Monday, and there is reason to fear that the road beyond is more budly dam turpi\ I "Evidences of General Nich's operations wero found in headless * bodies.

J Americans, 104; Japanese, 52; Italian, 40; and Austrians, 25;" The correspondents at .Tien Tsia, Shanghai, and other treaty ports, throw s do lights on the situation. According to one dispatch from Tien-Tain, it is understood that the foreign ministers will insist ns soon as fresh bayonets arrive at Pekin, upon the re.? moval of the anti-foreign advisers of the Empress Dowager and upon the substitution fot them to councillors friendly to Western civilization. The English at Shanghai are afraid that Great Britian has been deceived, and that the whole business will have to bo gone through again. Russia's aims, the argue, aro not understood and Russia and France aro 'apparently not working in the same spirit as the other powers. Five thousand Russians are ready to land at Taku. A telegram from lokohama dated Tuesday evening says that tho .Japanese government has ordered four more warships to proceed to Taku. The dispatch says the .Japanese government "trusts the powers will not misconstrue this action." The Japanese press is urging vigorous methods. The Shanghai correspondent of ine limes, telegraphing luosday, says: "The .Japanese minister is pressing for recognition of a .Japanor?e sphere of intluene? to include the provinces of Che Klang, Fo Kien anil Kiting Si. The Ilong Kong correspondent of I'he Times, wiring yesterday, j says: "The admiralty have en gaged a transport to take 1>00 ti oops to Takn.

The Reign of Assassination anil Terror Seems to bo Ended. St Louis, June 13.- To all ap^ pearancei today witnessed Iho beginning of the end of the riot?? ous demonstrations and scenes of bloodshed that hare characterized tl.a : I e? mo .nitoi i ?i nv U y l>ll IKO lOi uyer a month past. In many quarters it is thought the striko itself will soon ho settled. These opinions are hased upon statements of the chief of police and sheriff that tho critical stage has been passed and upon tho fact that tho St Louis Transit company is slowly hut surely approaching a complete resumption of business with the aid of non-union men. Th? imp ost over the bodies of tho victims of Sunday's riot began today. The testimony adduced was not of a character calculated to base a decision on as to which side was to blamo for beginning hostilities, the witnesses disagreeing on material points. Some placed the blame on the posse and others placed it on the strikers. Many contradictions have arisen in the accounts of Sunday's tragedy and these were emphasized in the testimony taken today. The Crisis Has Come. A High Authority Sayan World's War is Impending. Recent dispatches indicate that ihe trouble in China is believed by European statesmen to have been inspired by Russian agents. Russian diplomacy makes opportunities and the outbreak of the 4'Boxers" afford a convenient excuse for landing Russian troops. For this crisis Russia has long been preparing, and well informed authorities agree that armed con? - i)ici on a gigantic scale between the great powers cannot long he averted. The main antagonism is between Russia on the one side, with France as un ally, and Enland on the other, with .Japan as an ally. The authorities mentioned think that the natural position of tho United States is with England and some of them think>our government will not b? able to maintain an entirely neutral position. The interests of the United States in the Philippines have changed the attitude of this country toward Asiatic politics, and roiont uispatches tell us that the government of tho United States may demand largo slices of Chinese territory as indemnity for injury to American life and property in the event of a general break up of the Chineso empire. The United States government has become a world power, and in the Armageddon that is coining we shall bo fortunate if wo escape entangling alliances and war. Demetrius C Houlger, the ablest and fairest authority on Asiatic politics and the author of half li dozen books on that and kindred subjects, says the ill fated moment has arrived when the contest of the groat powers over the division of the crumbling empiro of China must begin, lie discussed the ?u??jec.t in two articleH in the North American Review, the second np* peering in tho .June number of this year, and they show that the seriousness of tho situation has not been exaggerated.

Corn Doing Well, Cotton Sonic* what Retarded in Some Sections. Washington, June >12.?The weather bureau's weekly sum niary of crop conditions says: Heavy rains in the central and oast Gulf States, including por lions oi Kentucky and Tennessee have retarded cultivation, and in some sections caused injury to crops. The high average temperatures with generally sufficient moisture in the great corn States of the central valleys have been decidedly favorable to corn, which has tnade rapid growth, although needing cultivation in some sections. In Maryland, Virginia and portions of North Carolina and Texas corn is needing rain, while it has suffered from excessive rains in the central Gulf States. Winter wheat harvest is now in progress in Virginia and will hegin in Kentucky this week. Except some lodging in Kentucky and Tennessee the rennets irennr? ally indicate that tho crop lias made satisfactory advancement during the week. Ah a result of lijjht rains in D , Toxas, much of the State recoiv* ing no precipitation, cultivation has beon vigorously pushed and there has been a decided improvement in tho condition of cotton. Several duys of fair weather are still needed, however, to put the crop in a proper state of cultivation in some n:irts of Tovns While there is a general complaint of lice in cotton over the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt, the crop has made substantial progress, although quite generally in need of cultivation. The least favorable reports are received from Louisiana, where cotton has made but slow growth and is turning yellow. Dropped Eighty-Nine Feet. rallapooea, Ala, Juno 12 ?

Massachusetts and New York have such I institutions. It would cost about $50,000 to build and equip a suitable building. He rightly says that while the wealthy may go to private institutions, and pay for expert treatment, the poor are unable to do anything at all. The time is fast coming when public authorities will have to pay more attention to this dreadful scourge and take steps to stop its spread. ?Aiken Journal and Keview.
