—After much fighting with the Chinese, and an arduous march, Vice-Admiral Seymour, with the international column, arrived at Peking, Sunday, June 17. He was attacked five times by the Chinese, whose losses are estimated at 500 killed, the losses of the foreigners being but trifling. Nothing is known of the state of affairs inside Peking. However, it is supposed that the foreign legations are safe so far.
—A Washington dispatch dated June 19 says that “the military information bureau of the War Department has been fairly overrun with visitors who wish maps of the scene of trouble in China. They have all gone away empty handed; for the War Department has no such maps. The bureau is now busy getting some ready. . . . Anything about China just now is eagerly snapped up, but there is not much to be had.”
—Reports from Shanghai say that “the effect of the bombardment of the Taku forts was gory in the extreme—nothing less than rivers of blood, and mutilated corpses piled up inside the forts.” Another report says that “the Russians guarding Tien-tsin, fired artillery and rifles, June 15, at a range of fifty yards, into dense crowds of attacking Boxers, and killed 300.” According to a dispatch from Yokohama, Japan “intends to land an expedition at Foo-Chow.”
—In an address given by Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies of Great Britain, to the Women’s Liberal-Unionist Association, June 19, he took occasion to refer to the Continental criticism of England in her African war.

I refer to our colonies and to the United States. I think we are happy in that we have their good opinion and approval.”
—A dispatch from Shanghai, via London, dated June 20, states that “the United States transport ‘Thomas,’ with troops for Manila, was diverted at Nagasaki, and has arrived at Taku, with 1,200 men.” Other dispatches from London, under same date, say that “the British flag is reported to have been flying yesterday over the south gate of Peking. This is presumed to indicate the arrival of Admiral Seymour.” Also, “The Russian relieving force arrived outside of Peking this morning, and immediately began to attack the city on two sides, employing numerous artillery. The force apparently arrived in the nick of time; for the Chinese assert that the attack upon the legations had been successfully renewed.”
—A dispatch from Philadelphia, dated June 21, states that “William McKinley was nominated for president of the United States, at the third day’s session of the twelfth Republican national convention, held at Philadelphia.” He received “all of the 926 votes of the convention.” “Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for vice-president on the first roll call, receiving 925 of the 926 votes represented in the convention.” Governor Roosevelt, being himself a delegate at large from New York, refrained, of course, from voting for himself. That is said to be the first time that the Republican party, or any other party in the United States, “has chosen both its candidates for president and vice-president without a dissenting voice.”
—The facts in regard to what is called “standard time” and its establishment in this country, are as follows: “Primarily, for the convenience of the railroads, a standard of time was established by mutual agreement in 1883, by which trains are run, and local time regulated. According to this system, the United States, extending from 65 degrees to 125 degrees west longitude, is divided into four time sections, each of fifteen degrees of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hour, beginning with the seventy-fifth meridian. The first (eastern) section includes all territory between the Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from Detroit, Mich., to Charleston, S. C., the latter being its most southern point. The second (central) section includes all the territory between the last-named line and an irregular line from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The third (mountain) section includes all territory between the last-named line and nearly the western borders of Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. The fourth (Pacific) section covers the rest of the country to the Pacific coast. Standard time is uniform inside each of these sections, and the time of each section differs from that next to it by exactly one hour. Thus, at noon in New York City (eastern time), the time at Chicago (central time) is 11 A. M.; at Denver (mountain time), 10 A. M.; and at San Francisco (Pacific time), 9 A. M. Standard time is 16 minutes slower at Boston than true local time; 4 minutes slower at New York; 8 minutes faster at Washington; 19 minutes faster at Charleston, S. C.; 28 minutes slower at Detroit; 18 minutes faster at Kansas City, Mo.; 10 minutes slower at Chicago; one minute faster at St. Louis, Mo.; 28 minutes faster at Salt Lake City; and 10 minutes faster at San Francisco.”
14—Miss Helen Gould has discharged her private secretary for telling newspaperdom too much of her employer’s private affairs. It seems that this young lady, who was hired to attend to Miss Gould’s correspondence, had previously been a newspaper woman.
—A 3,100-pound steer, raised in Keg Creek township, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, has been purchased by a Minneapolis stock food company, and will be exhibited at fairs and stock shows, for advertising purposes. The animal is over six feet in height, is three years old, and during the last year gained 1,000 pounds.
—Railway service is now operating smoothly between Cape Town and Pretoria, and the British are forwarding supplies in large quantities. General Methuen has again defeated the Free State forces, under General De Wet. General Kitchener narrowly escaped capture by the Boers. The Boer ammunition factory has been removed to Lydenburg.
—The famous author, Count Tolstoi, has been excommunicated from the Orthodox Russian Church, because of passages in his recent work, “Resurrection,” in which he openly attacked that church. It is said that “the three Russian metropolitans—those of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kieff—desired a public proclamation of the count’s heresy, but that the synod feared the wrath of the Russian masses, with whom Tolstoi is very popular.”
—The empress dowager of China, who is at present defying all Europe, is about sixty years old, and “for the last forty years has exerted a controlling influence in directing the affairs of China. She is the second wife of the emperor, and because she bore him a son, and the first wife did not, she takes precedence. As to education, she has received the best China can give, but her native wit and cleverness supply what she may lack in book knowledge. She is a Manchu woman, the prevailing dynasty in China, and, therefore, most secure in her position. She has always been opposed to the presence of foreigners in China.”
UNION COLLEGE.
By O. A. Johnson
Having been connected with Union College for several years, I feel a deep interest in its prosperity, and take this opportunity to say a few words about this school through the REVIEW.
For the first two or three years after the school was founded, the attendance was large. The school paid its running expenses, and had something left for improvements. The spiritual condition was also good. Then followed two or three years when some of the Western States suffered from drought; and this had its effect upon the school. During the last three years the attendance has been larger. The total enrollment for 1899-1900 reached five hundred and twenty-six, being next to the largest number that has been enrolled in the history of the institution.
For the last year special pains was taken to teach in harmony with the light God has given through his word and the Testimonies, and the blessing of God attended these efforts in a marked manner. Many teachers and workers came to receive special instruction adapted to their work, and the efforts put forth to give such the desired aid were greatly appreciated and blessed. Many left the school with good courage to work in the cause of God.
The spiritual condition of the school was good. Many of the students availed themselves of the thirty-minute prayer period during the forenoon, when meetings were held in the different classrooms and departments. This prayer season was a great help to the students and to the school in general.
Financially, the school was a success. The three Bible instructors were paid by the different Conferences from the tithe. Last year the college gained over five thousand dollars more than the running expenses and improvements.
Taken as a whole, it seems to me that last year was one of the best and most prosperous in the history of this institution. I sincerely hope and pray that the future plans and instructions may be more fully in harmony with the light God has given us, so that success shall attend the work of this school. I feel assured that the board and the faculty will labor to this end.
A catalogue may be had by addressing the president, W. T. Bland, College View, Neb.

KNICKERBOCKER.

—, Iowa, Jan. 22, 1900. The lessons in Galatians have done me much good. I read the REVIEW, and then give it to others to read. Some are becoming interested. Do you remember seeing me at the Health Institute, as it was then called, thirty-one years ago? I was there four months. T. H. CRAIG.
—, Iowa, Aug. 27, 1899. I am a constant reader of the REVIEW. I live at home with my father and mother, and they have taken the paper for a number of years; in fact, they took it several years before they became Adventists and united with the church. G. W. STAHL.
—, Tex., Sept. 3, 1899. I can not afford to be without the paper. Each department increases in interest. May the dear Lord continue to bless it in its noble mission, and give heavenly wisdom to direct in its important message. ELISHA TAYLOR.

—, Ill., May 9, 1900. I feel now, and have felt for some time, that it is not a safe thing to do without the REVIEW.

—, Neb., May 7, 1900. I see that my subscription has nearly expired. I can not do without the REVIEW. I am an invalid, and read a great deal, but am poor; can send but 25 cents now; but hope, when the time has expired, to have more money. HANNAH CHAPIN.
