MONOCACY ATTACKED

By Chinese Riaemen, and She Was
Shot Through the Bows - Grave
Fears as to the Safety of Euro
peans in PeAin.
LONDON, June %. $3.50 a, m.-The
United States gunboat Monocacy was
two miles up the Pei-Ho river when the
international fleet began the lombard
ment of the Taku forts. According to
the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express she was shot through
the bows. The correspondent says that
Chinese rifle men on both banks of the
river attacked her, but unsuccessfully.
The scantiness of authentic news
with reference to the situation contIn-
ues. Admiral Kempft's dispatch to the
United States navy department an
nouncIng that Tien Tsln is being bonn
bardcd, was prominently used by the
London papers and commented upon
as indicating change for the worse.
The British admiralty does not be-
lIeve the report OF the death of Admir-
al Seymour, commander of the inter-
national relief forces and semi-ohlcial
assurances are given that there seem to
be not the slightest evidence to back
up such report. 1t is pointed out that
Admiral Seymour had sufficient sup
plies to enable him to get to Pekln or to
get back. I'VE are hopeful" says the
semi-ofiiclal announcement, that since
he has not done the latter, he has done

Situation Particularly Threatening.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Shanghai dated yesterday, says:
"The consuls met to-day to consider
the situation which in the absence of
news from Pekin. is looked upon as
particularly threatening. Grave fears
stln exist as to the safety of the Eu

wire to the senior consul at Che Foo to
communicate with the senior officers at
TaIIu, asking for immediate assistance
in communicating direct with Pekin,

asked to explain the interruption of
communications"
The stoppage of trade has thrown ten

some exciting experiences and would

MRS. BOOKER t. WASHINGTON.
From the indianapolis Press.)


Mr.. Booker T. Washington the great
advocate Of negro education and indus
trial training, is not without heipmeet
His wife works with hiGi IN his campaign
for the uplift of the negro; and she
breaches the same sound and sensible
doctrines that her husband has striven so
enthusiastically to inculcate. She recent
Iy addressed large assemblage Of negro
women at Memphis; and the substance Of
her teaching was that the two prime es-
sentiaIs for these women are "a sounder,
healthier body. and a cleaner and higher
toned morality" She pointed out the
truth that filth Is q breeder of disease,
and cited statistics to show the inroads
made on negro population by sickness
growing out OF uncleaGiy modes Of living
and irregular conduct She spoke, too,
against the mere emotional excitement
which so often supplies the place of re-
ngion to members Of her race, and en-
phasized the interdependence Of moral
and physical laws. showing that the hope
of the negro advancement rests in better
morality Speaking OF this practical,
everyday method Of reform, she gave
simple rules Of conduct For example, she
said to them:
Eve eat too little OF too poor food. We
are ready to buy snowy clothing, and we
stint our stomachs to do this. Let US eat
more and better food
Keep regular hours. Do not stay In
church until u and o'clock at night. Go
to bed at 10 o'clock, especially if you labor
through the day.
Teach the boys as well as the girls re-
spect for the marriage tie and home. Be
companions for your sons and daughters
il you would stop the tide OF immortality.
Teach the boys to come home at night.
Teach them the sin of running some mans
daughter. These lessons can be taught
around the hreside at night"
Such missionary work, backed by the
ardor with which MIR. and Mrs. Washing
ton devots themsei=es &c tie welfare OF
their race. cannot fail of great and good
effect The most tangible evidence OF the
good they have done is in the Tnshegee In
stitute; but the effect of their teaching Is
far more general and reaches many more
than those who either directly or Indirect
ly come in contact with the training at
Tuskegee. Mrs. Washington is entitled 10
rank with her husband as a noble worker
for better day for the negro and for
humanity.

IL is the fashion Of this war" he added,
bitterly.
Cobbold seemed to reflect a moment.
1T is doubtless very good fashion, my
lord he answered, for rich mobiles and
great leaders like yourself Your lives
must be very precious to you. You live
pleasantly and wear fine clothing and have
horses and hounds and all the pleasures of
life. When you go to battle you are like
towers of steel and We naked bowmen may
shoot our arrows at you until they are all
spent, or It shall please you to ride down
and trample US into the mud. But for us
the case is different. We must be often
hungry and wet and footsore. We have
black bread TO eat and little enough of
that; and, for myself, / hold that when it
is dishonored, ii has lost what little relish

humorous twltehing about the corners Of
his mouth. What he cried, sternly,

Il ask your pardon for my clumsy tongue.

You are a eourtier. I perceive" said
Hungerford dryly.
The boys eyes glistened with tears of
modification. "A company OF bowmen is

lost by that willy bowman Birdingfeld.
An arrow pumped into the bark within
an inche of the boys cheek. 1t chilled
his momentary citation, and brought him
lace to face with the .exigencies of his
case.
So long as he and Birdingteld remained
each behind his tree they were in safety:
whichever should leave his shelter would
become a mark for the other. In half an
hour it would be too dark for shooting.
and then Cobbold could slip of into the
forest But there was he knew not what
about this BirdinEfieId that filled him with
a vague alarm. He had noticed a slow,
smiling way with the man that daunted

The idea of waiting became intolerable;
anything was better than that. He must
make his chance of escape In the shad-
ows by the bridge he could see the red
dress of Hungerford like a. red heart
among the more sombre liveries of his
men. If the heart were stricken the body
would be helpless. There would be hue
and cry. no doubo; but there would aisa
be confusion. and to this he must trusf
make good his flight. And then-Sir

FAIL TO REACH a VERDICT.
The Alexander Jury Dismissed After
Twenty Hours DeIiberation.

The jury in the case of William NJ.
der of Matthew Snow on August Is last,
after being locked up for twenty-four
hours, failed to agree upon a verdict.
The case was submitted to the jury at 4
p. III. on Thursday, and at noon yester-
day. when the foreman stated to JUS
tice Clabaugh that there was no proba-
bility of an agreement being reached,
the court ordered the jury dismissed.
The failure Of the jury to agree was a
great surprise to those who had watched
the progress of the trial since it was
begun on Monday.
After the jury had been discharged it
vas stated by Cre Of them that eleven
were for acquitt..l and one for conviction.
It was also said that the jury stood this
way on the first yote taken after retir-
ing to the consultation room on Thurs
day, and so it remained until discharged
When the court convened yesterday
morning Justice Clabugh sent for the
jury and enquired if j verdict had been
reached On being informed that an
agreement had not been arrived at he
ordered the jury back to the consultation
room. At noon he again sent for the
jury and, On being informed that there
was no nope oil verdict being arrived
at, il was discharged.
Alexander was Immediately removed 10
the cell in the basement of the City Hall,
and there his father and mother, his
brothe-. and his wife and child, who
ha beea constant attendants at the trial
since it was begun, joined him. The
parting between the prisoner and his
relatives was very affecting. His little
boy. goIden-h haired fellow, seemed to
keenly feel the se-iaration which was
about TO be made, and appealed pite-
ous1y 10 everyone around him to let his
father go home with HIM
