London doubts ;the news of the safety of theldgatione, so does Washington. Shanghai, .July 10?Seventylive thousand imperial troops and Boxers made a determined attack I upon Tien Tsin on the the 3rd and j 4th. Fighting resulted the moat ! severo yet done at the beleaguered city. The Chinese tired upon the city ntith a hundred guns from [ West, North and East. But for the newly arrived Japanese contingent and additional Russian guns recently received, the enemy I surely would have gotten inside the lines. The defenders numbercd 14,000, and lost heavily. One : Rus-ian company suffered 120 casualties. About 150 sheila fell into the European city, damaging j many houses. The women and children were sheltered in cellars, public buildings and hotels. The twelve pound gun Terrible was put into action and tho Chine-e compelled it to withdraw i by exploding two shells under it. { French guns took its place, and were likewise ai'enced. Vice Admiral Alexieff has ar rived at Tien Tsin, and will coin- i mand the allies. The attack on Tien Tain resumed I ' on the sixth was repulsed after eight hours hard lighting. London, July 10?At tho Jnp| anese legation it is stated that an advance on Pekin by a Japanese army or zu,uuu men will begin this week. An official asserts |that the Japanese have no intention of halting at Tuku or Tien Tain hut propose to advance to I'ekiu in the present week.

The view announced at the start by the President, that we did not consider ourselves at war with tlie Chinese nation, and that nil our efforts should be directed I i to localizing the disturbances in } the province of Chi Li and keep I, ing them from spreadingtlnough! out the empire by enlisting on the side of peace the powerful viceroys of central and southern China, has now apparently been adopted by all the other ultimate results of these oolicv. but thus far the indications are all favori able. It will l?e seen that no i answer from the different powers j was required or expected to the circular of duly old, Imt it is' understood that it has heen everywhere l'avoiahlv received and that no objection- have heen made to it in any quarter. It is nut true' that there ha- heen any formation of groups or combination of h powers of any sort whatever. It may he positively asserted, for instance, that the eo-operotion of France and the 1'nited State- haii been most constant and cordial. Three Times Her Natural Size. j Non Y 'ork, .Inly I 1. ?
