HOW THEY
“ENTERED

-Graphic Description of
the Approach to
Pekin.

By Associated Press.

Pekin, Aug. 14.—Via post—The
army transport when it reached
Pekin, was a unique’ spectacle.
Miles ot animals, vehicles and cool-
ies trailed behind, everything imagi-
nable on wheels, from farm wagons
to fashionable traps was impressed,
and every horse, mule and China-
man in the path was commandered.
The Japanese had cows. bearing
packs and the Russians had ‘camels.
Chinamen, pulled.the carts and stag~-
gered under heavy packs, the sol-
diers cursing and beating them.
Several dropped dead.

Twe hundred junks and scows
bearing munitions. were towed up
the river by the coolies. Had the
Chinese taken the. offensive, most
of the transportation might have
easily been. captured and cut to
pieces by *small flanking parties.
After it. became apparent that the
enemy was demoralized, the gener-
als trusted the transportation to
luck and bent their efforts towards
getting ahead. Only such an
emergency as existed could have
justified such hardships as were im-
posed upon the troops.

The reception the survivors gave
the army was worth the hardships
the troops had undergone. The
besieged moved the barricades and
when the gates swung inward and
the British colors appeared, there
arose a great continuous cheer on
both sides. An hour afterwards,
General Chaffee, riding at the head
of the American. infantry, marched
to the Tartar wall. When told that
the British had entered before them
the American general looked disap-
pointed. But, although the Ameri-
cans were behind the last of the
British forces, many of the Eunich
guards have left the palace, and
have surrendered themselves. The
inmates. of the palace have been
assured that they will be treated
with every consideration.

(qa RIGHT A DRAW.

and W.
plugs McKinly Quit Even.
Last night's fight at the Inter-
national between Brown and Mc-
Kinley was a draw.
An address by the governor gener-
alof Canada would hardly draw a
larger assembly. George Wash-
ingtou Brown has evidently learned
several paragraphs since his appear-
ance with Chauncey Depew. He
went ten rounds at a pace he was
unable to maintain for a half ronnd
in his former battles. He was in
good condition, and nothing short
of a ball bat would have given him
a dizzi William J Mc-
Kinley ably represented the smelter
town, and is certainly a hard game.
He resembles Fitzsimmons in every-
thing but color, and like Fitz puts
up a shifty fight.

The fight .was a clean one and is

regarded as one of the best ever
pulled off here.
George was clearly in the best
condition. The lanky man from
the smelter town let George do the
leading, and met the leads with a
lefthanded upper cut. George
didn’t bring anything, except his
face with which to’stop them.

The lanky man was unquestion-
ably the cleverer with his hands,
and had he been in as good con-
dition as the Rossland man, would
probably have won the fight.

Some of the audience hooted and
made various rude remarks during
the last four rounds, and were evi-
dently skeptical about the ‘‘square-
ness” of the fight; but most of the
knowing ones thought the boys
fought all they could, and were un-
able to hold the pace set in the first
few rounds.

The fight lasted the full twenty
reunds and was declared a draw.
Col. Jack Egan acted as referee.
W.J. Vennor was time keeper for
Brown, and Commodore Tom C.
Gray for McKinley.
