A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Two Young Men horribly MutiIated by
Explosives.

Two Young Non horribly Mutilated by
Explosives.
MoKELUMNE HILL, CAL, Oct. 15.-One
of the most shocking accidents that ever
happened in this vicinity occurred be-
tween IL and IL O'Clock this morning,
with possibly fatal results. Two young
men named James and George Kipp,
aged 20 and IL years respectively, were
horribly mutilated by the explosion of
box OF giant powder caps. They went
for walk to the Moser mine, near this
place, and on their return on a new road
recently constructed to the mine discov
cred near the roadside box Of giant
powder caps, piece OF fuse and sbour
half dozen giant powder cartridges.
Just how the accident occurred is no.
vet known. However, a man named
Hally Gold cav two men coming down
the road, locked arm in arm, staggering
from one side of the road to the Other
and uttering fearful shrieks. He
at fret thought them to ba
drunken men, but on their nearer
approach discovered the horrible condi.
ton of the boys. He seated them be-
meath tree and hurried to town for
assistance. A conveyance Immediately
started out and brought them in, and
DR.. Blaisdell of this town and DR.. Sim
mons of San Andreas were summoned.
The condition OF the young men WAS
terrible in the extreme. The left hand
OF James was torn to shreds, neceseitat-
ing amputaticn at the wrist, his eye
sight destroyed, his head, face and the
upper part of his body filled with frag-
ments of metal from cap shells and the
tim box in which the shells were con-
tanned. while his brother George was
mangled about the head, losing one eye
and probably both. The first and Sec
ond finger and thumb of the left hand of
James were found near the place, still
holding a hslf-burned cigarette. The
presumption Ia that while examining
the box a spark fell among the caps and
caused the explosion. The full extent
of their injuries cannot yet be deter
mined.

THE WAR MUST co AHEAD
China's Overtures for Peace
Rejected.
She Prepares for a Protracted
Conflict.
All the Latent Forces of the Empire
Appealed to.
Tho Pei Yang Squadron Rshtted-Protec-
tion Guaranteed Foreigners
Americans Not In Great
Danger.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. Dispatches to the
Times from Tien Tsin, which will be
published tomorrow, say that the Chi
nese overtures for peace having been
rejected without hearing, the war
now enters on chronic stage, demand
ing an appeal to the latent forces of the
empire. The latter are described as
quite great, but it is added they require
time in order to ofganizs them.
The Chinese government is prepared,
though reluctant to do 30, TO engage in
n protracted conflict. The party in
.,ower recognizes the urgency of radical
military and fiscal reiorms. The quea-
tion is how long will the natural cohesr
ion bear the strain of great war. The
danger is, the correspondent adds. that
a revolution may be followed by pro-
longed anarchy.
The Pei Yang squadron has been aDla
to leave the dock completely re6tted.
with magazines filled, and otherwise
fitted for active service.
An imperial edict has been published
at Pekin assuming for the government
full responsibility for the protection OF
the foreign residents. and Furnishing
certain culprits who have taken part in
the recent assaults on travellers. The
edict assures strangers that their per-
sons and property will be protected, and
ito wording is highly satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-A cablegram
was received at the state department
from United States Minister DENLY at
Pekin, stating that the reports OF dan
ger to American residents of Pekin are
exaggerated. There has been only one
instance of an attack on Americans, and
adequate punishment was meted out to
the perpetrators.
LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch from
Shanhai says Chang, viceroy of HUI
Kwang, has started for Pekin, whittier
he has been summoned for an audience
with the emperor. He is travelling in
cognito.
TIEN-TsIN, Oct. 15.-It is semi-oficially
stated that China has made no PROPOSE
tions for peace, and therefore the state
ment that Japan has rejected them is
not true.
LONDON, Oct. 16. - special from
Shanghai saye Shang Tsi Toung, viceroy
of Hulk Wang, has been summoned to
Pekin in connection with the rising in
his province. The viceroy travels incog-
nito. and upon his arrival at Pekin will
be given an interview with the emperor.
The rebels in the province of Hulk
Wang renewed attacking some govern
ment buildings and captured them after
defeating the troops employed in their
defense, some of the Chinese troops sub.
sequently joining the rebels. The rebels
killed two mandarins and number OF
Chinese troops. They are now believed
to be marching upon Woo Chang, which
city has been denied troops, all garrisons
having been sent to the coast.
