LONDON, Sept. 2.--The Times prints
correspondence from Niu-Chwang declaring
that the Russians have killed indiscrimi-
nately between 1.5O0 and 1900 Boxers and
Chinese civilians, men women and chill
dren, both inside and outside of the walls.
The correspondent adds that from all sides
come reports of the violation of women,
and that the Russians are, carrying out a
policy of the destruction of property and
the determination of the people in Kai-
Chau. Nearly all the villages have been
burned and the inhabitants killed. For
some days, the correspondent declares. the
soldiery and Cossocks have been allowed to
do what they like, and he thinks the an
nexation of Manchuria is intended.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-One belated
dispatch from General Chaffee relative to
conditions in Picking on the 21st inst, was
made public to-day. He informed the
War Department that he had made an
offer to furnish guard for Ii Hung Chang,
but that the offer was declined. and a
Russian escort accepted. 1t is apparent
that our government is again in waiting
attitude, after having made the important
move toward a reduction of the American
troops in China, announced yesterday.
General Chaffee had not received the de-
partment's instructions when he sent his
message received to-day. but without doubt
has it now in hand. His offer to escort Ii
Hung Chang was In conformity with the
expressed purpose of the State Department
to facilitate in every proper manner the
Journey of the Chinese viceroy to Peking.
Still. it is now regarded as just as well
that the offer was declined and the re-
sponsibility for LIS safety left with the
Russians.
The instructions to Minister Conger to
establish relations with Ii and Prince
Ching is still held up here. 1t is beginning
to appear that the purpose of the delay is
to ascertain more clearly the plans Of the
powers in whose interest. as well as our
own, Mr. Conger was to endeavor to bring
about negotiations for a settlement. If II
shall appear that there is a disposition on
the part of any considerable proportion of
them to reject in advance the well-meant
efforts Of the United States government to
bring about a conference and negotiations
In which they could participate on equal
terms with our own government with the
purpose of terminating the Chinese diff
ficulties, then Mr.. Conger's instructions
may require recasting. 1t might be regard
ed as useless for him to arrange for a
meeting of the powers with China which
the former do not care to attend owing
to the entirely different purposes from
those animating the United States, and
there probably is no disposition to subject
our minister to humiliation by fiat failure
which might be anticipated.
1t is also possible that the news relative
to the advancement of Prince Tuan to a
position where he might influence the
negotiations is regarded as worthy Of at
tention and that our government may de-
lay proceedings as long as he stands in the
way. The State Department has not been
oficially informed of Prince Tuan's promo

AND CRUELTY BEATEN.
Compelled to Bind Her Child to Con-
tractors I'm Order that 1t Might
Grow Up as a Convict

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept 26.-Charges have
been filed with the prison commission of
Georgia by Solicitor ]. w. Edmondson, of
Brooks county, against the McRee convict
camp managers In Lowndes county. this
State, in the form Of affldavits from promi-
nent citizens to the effect that the McRee
brothers have kidnapped innocent men and
women and made them work under armed
guards for an indefinite period. 1t is
charged that one practice of the McRee
camp has been to employ "trappers'' to
arrest innocent negroes passing through
the county and without the form of trial
to imprison them and put them to work.
The charges fled by Solicitor Edmondson
contain the following:
Fanny Jackson eight or ten years ago
went to the camp to visit her husband, who
was kept there as a convict. When she
went to leave the camp she was arrested
and forced to work, chained with the men,
watched by the guards and frequently
whipped. She had young child with her,
and finally Will McRee whipped her terri
bly, to make her bind the child to the camp
in order that it might grow up convict.
Her statement in part follows:
:" Il finally had to give up my child to
prevent what seemed to me further unen-
durable beating The skin was beat from
