and Children Tortured by Pekins
Mob-Emperor Again Said to Have
Killed Himself.
London, July 0.-The story that all for
eigners in Peking were murdered on June
~ or July / appears to be circulating
simultaneously at Chefu, Shanghai and
Tien-tsin. Yet as it is not confirmed by
official dispatches and is not traceable to
the southern viceroys, who are still in
certain communication with Peking there
is basis for the hope that it is untrue
Cautious observers at Shanghai recog.
nize that even though these reports are
rejected events in Picking must be gal.
Looping to tragic end.
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Daily Telegraph wires under date of
July 4:
YUAN Shikai, governor of Shangtung,
telegraphs the French consul here that
Prince Tuan Is preparing an edict or.
dering the determination Of all foreign.
ers. This is probably intended to pre-.
pare the public for the worst news.
"Chinese cumulative reports, which are
generally believed here, declare that all
the foreigners In Peking have been mas
sacred.
''The safety of all foreigners In north
China depends upon Japan's prompt ac
tion."
The correspondent of The Daily Mail
at Shanghai, telegraphing under date OF
July 8, 12:1O p. m, says he believes that
when official information comes regard
ing Peking 1t may include news of the
outraging of English women and the
torture of children. 1t may almost be
taken for granted, he asserts, that all the
foreigners in Peking have been wiped
out These are the whisperings of star
Ting rumors in the native quarters, and
it must not be forgotten that the tee
graph lines over which alone the news
can come are solely in the hands of the
Chinese. The native rumors are likely tc
have their source on a solid basis, and
the native officials are believed to be pre-
pairing the way for the reception of news
of the greatest crime of the century.
Taoti Yu admitted to the correspondent
that the case of the Europeans in Picking
is utterly hopeless In his opinion. He be
lieves that il they have not yet been mas.
sacred it is only a matter of hours be.

villagers, as the Sioux, who were then
residents at Mile Laos, were called. The
date of the great battle, which resulted
in an Overwhelming Ojibway victory, is
unknown, but the occurrence is supposed
to have taken place not far from $50
years ago.
The Ojibway made the place his perma-
nent home. and has since followed the
trails and occupied the village sites of
his ancient foe. A change took place in
1855. when, on Feb. %, of that year all
the Ojibway bands in Minnesota were
induced to sign treaty whereby they
made a final settlement with the au-
thorities of the United States. when
each band withdrew to a fixed reserva-
ton, privileged to hunt and fish any
where within the ceded territory. His
signature to the terms Of that treaty pre-
cipitated his ruin and tribal disintegra-
tor and downfall. and worked the utter

for the checks to be presented each time,
with more or less embarrassing scenes
connected with the inquiries concerning
them.
Gen. Cutbert mortgaged his few re-
naming pieces of property, and the
money left from the wreck of his for
tune dwindled away. He dropped poll
tics and lived in retirement His friends
began to forget him, and his son showed
no signs of remorse for his .misdeeds
When the generals name became Of
little value on a check the son initiated
ether signatures. He was successful in
obtaining money, and his victims gem
orally declined to make any trouble, be-
cause they wished to spare the broken
old man. But at last there was one man
who was relentless. He declared that he
meant to prosecute the forger. There
was warrant sworn out against Will

EDUCATION OF A PRINCE.

The King of Italy Was brought Up
by sIargherita.
From a child Victor Emmanuel III. has
been accustomed to submit to al,the state
ceremonial and all the external formali
ties which hedge round the public APP
pearances Of royalty. While King Hum
bert usually left the quirinal by private
way and drove off In small carriage, ac-
companied by his valet, trumpets an
nounced the state carriage of the queen
and the young prince. The palace gates
were thrown open, soldiers presented
arms and the little prince was taught by
his mother to acknowledge the huzzahs
of his future subjects A king she said
should constantly see his people and be
seen by them.
Queen Margherita had entire charge of
her sons education until he was twelve
years old. She gave him a love of Itera-
ture and the fine arts which he has con-
tinued to cultivate through all the years
of his military career. He is an accom-
pilshed linguist speaking English. French
and German with great ffuency. He is an
enthusiastic collector Of coins and medals
In any estimate Of the new kings
character the diverse influences which
guided his education must be taken into
account Queen Margherita insisted that
a king of Rome living within sight Of
the ruins of the forum and reignirg over
the country of Raphael Michael Angelo
and Dante should be an archaeologlst.
an artist and a lfterateur. King Hum
bert put before all else the military ed
ucation of his son, and considered as
first essential that a king of Rome should
follow the warlike traditions Of the
house of Savoy.
The marriage of the prince of Naples
to Helene, princess of Montenegro was
looked upon with much sympathy and ap-
prevail by the Italian people. It was
known to be altogether a marriage of
inclination. the prince having fallen vio-
lently in love with the beautiful Helene
The queen is some inches taller than her
husband and her face is full of intelli-
gence and power. She very quickly
learned to feel at home among her hus-
bands people, and Is always looked upon
as quite an Italian" There are as yet
no children to the marriage, the heir to
the throne at present being the duke
