ALLIES MAY CONTINUE
TO DOMINATE PEKIN

London, Sept. 13.-All the corre-
spondents in China are sending terrible
stories of the wholesale massacre OF
missionaries and native Christians. It
Is asserted that during July between
1900 and 10000 converts were mas
sacred In the northern provinces. Large
numbers Of missionaries are still un-
accounted for. and small hope Is en-
tertainod OF their escape.
Native reports are subjected to the
most careful scrutiny. with the result
that although there may be some ex-
aggeratiOn &c is impossible to doubt
that IN the main they are correct.
The horror is intensified by con-
iirmation OF the reports that the wo-
men were subjected to unspeakable
barbarltics and torturcs, being strip-
ped and slowly dubbed to death. This
wes one of the miidest methods. The
Boxers wreaked fiendish vengeance.
Statements were current in the Eu-
ropean capitals last evening that all
the powers had replied to the Russian
proposition; that Great Britain and
Germany had declined to evacuate
Pekin. that Austria and Italy had de-
cided to be guided by Cermany's de-

The Morning Post claims to know that
the allies will only withdraw outside
the walls of the capitol, where they
will continue to dominate Pekin in a
military sense.
According to a news agency dispatch
from Pelxin, dated Aug. 81, Mr.. Conger
regards Nhe situation as deplorable and
is advising all the Americans to leave
the capital if possible. The American
minister was in favor of the punitive

mine employees in the anthracite dis

is not known to a certainty, but the
leaders claim that about so per cent
of the miners are organized. The
union men do not anticipate any diff

miners to strike. The coal basins ex-
tend over an area of about 40 square
miles, and are distributed throughout
several counties, the more important
workings being located in Luzerne,

We're Put to Death After Un-
SpeakabIe BarbaFitieS
NO MORE SUPPLIES TO CHAFFEE
He Now But Awaits The Signal From
Washington TO Begin His
Movements

Washington Sept 13.-The question
OF withdrawing the American troops
at once from Pckin IS now before the
president, and a speedy decision is ex-
pected and required. There are diff
ferences among oinclala in Polzin on
this subject, and the issue Is for the
president to decide The action Of the
French government IN Joining Russia
Ia orders for the withdrawal OF troops
has brought about the contingency
touched upon in the reply to Russia,
In the following language:
"The result of these considerations
Is that unless there is such a general
expression by the powers IN favor of
continued occupation as to modify the
views expressed by the government Of
Russia and lead 10 q general agreement
for continued occupation, we shall give
instructions to the commander of the
American forces in China to withdraw
our troops from Pekin after due con-
ference with the other commanders as
to time and manner OF withdrawal"
Gen. Chaffee was made acquainted
with the attitude of the government
and was directed TO hold himself in
readiness TO withdraw his troops. Un-
douhtedly he has conferred with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner Of withdrawal. according to
the terms of the note. The sending Of
further supplies 10 him has been stop
ped and he now awaits but the signal
from Washington TO begin his move
ment II is for the president TO give
that signal
The considerations now before him
in favor of immediate withdrawal are.
first, the fact that he is already com
mitted In measure to such course by
the above quoted language in reply to
the Russian note. Second, it is repre-
sented that China is on the verge of a
terrible famine, and the retention Of
troops In PelIin, preventing as they do
the return OF the Chinese government
and the supply of provisions to the
/ capital, places the responsibility for
what threatens to be a frightful cal
amity upon the powers who sanctioned
the occupation.
On the other hand. strong represents
atlons have been made to the president
in opposition TO withdrawal in advance
OF the procurement Of absolutely suf-
ncient guarantees for the protection OF
American interests in China and for
the safety Of the native Christians.

BritOnS Must Build

said.
In such war we must have bad mo-

dence of God we are striking balance
of the evils Great Britain has under
gone and the good derived, and l do
not think the balance is much against
Great Britain.
was never so proud of my country
as during the week following the bat
tie of the Tugela river, when party
politics disappeared absolutely and
gave way to appropriate resolve to
pour out the last shilling and the last
man to assist the country in her hour
Of need. Whatever foreigners may
say, they have not got to the bottom Of
Old England yet. This test of the
character of the British people will
alone counterbalance our losses.
The reverses of the war have taught
the country that the empire is united
empire. In commerce, education and
war Great Britain is not methodical
and not scientific. The country has
yet to bring the war to a triumphant
conclusion. When this is done 1t must
set to work and put the empire on
business footing and strive to make
1t realize the British ideal of an en-
pire, without menace, without oppres-
sion-a model State ruled by model
institutions and inhabited by a model
race.
