WANTS NEWS OF ANDREE.
Norway and Sweden Offers Reward to
Whalers Northward Bound.

st. johns, N F.. May She consul
Of Sweden and Norway here offers a
reward to any ana all persons who
may find articles connected with the
polar expedition Of Herr Andree, the
aerOnaut. The reward is especially di-
rected 60 whaieTs bound from this port
for Davis strait, which connects Baffin
bay with the Atlantic and to fishermen
proceeding to the coast Of northern
Labrador next month.
The impression is that Andree may
possibly have reached some region
touched by Newfoundland whalers or
fishermen from which relics might be
obtained from the EsQuimaux.

Experience of Mr. and Mrs. Ewing.
Chinese Use OF Mines.
The first of those who were penned
up in the British legation during the
siege Of Picking to reach Victoria, b.
c., were Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing of the
American mission board, who arrived
there the other afternoon on the North
ern Pacific steamer Duke of Fife, on
their way to New York. They left Pc
king on Aug - in ar American con
voy, and Mrs. Ewing says little in the
way Of rations could be obtained by
the missionaries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing repeat the story
of the siege as it is already known.
They tell Of n mine which the enemy
had planted close TO the British lega-
ton, but which was fortunately dis
covered in time, says the New York
Evening Sun. A mysterious noise had
been heard for some time underneath
the walls, and upon digging down the
defenders found a tunnel II feet high
and III feet long. After little ven
tilation Mr.. Gamewell, who had charge
f,the Notifications. entered and found
a quantity of explosives sufficient to
have blown the whole of the legation
away had the mine been successfully
fired.
The defense of the legations pales.

of the Peitang. or the Roman Catholic
mission at Picking. There were there

Gbout 1000 native converts, men. wo-
men and children, with 30 French and
10 Italian guards, only 40 rifles in all.
When one of the guards fell, his rifle
was handed to a native convert. The
enemy exploded five mines altogether
under the besieged. In one explosion
about so persons. principally women
and children, and five Italian guards
were killed. After the relief another
large mine was discovered under the
church itself If exploded, it would
have caused a tremendous loss of life.
Electric conductors were found in this
mine.
The Peitang beat the legations in one
thing, in that the converts succeeded

ammunition when the captured supply
was exhausted.
FOR two months there was no com
munication between the Peitang and
the legations, and neither knew how
the others We're faring. At the end
the radons ut the Peitang were reduc-
ed TO two ounces of rice day. with

Cheers and Tigers.

Speaking of three cheers, am re-
minded OF an incident in Catholic church
in Chicago some years ago. Three Protes-

furtherance of some charitable purpose in
which they were interested, and when
they came down the aisle, all the pews
being occupied, the priest in charge said
to an attendant, Three chairs for the
Protestant ladies'" The attendant mis-
understood. and called out, Three cheers
for the Protestant ladies The cheers
were given with a will. and it was all the

reception before the attendant could call

Postoffice. improvements

The mail carriers apartment at the
postoffice has been enlarged to twice its
former size and now extends across the
entire east end of the building. The en-
largement of this section Of the postoftice
was made necessary by the increase in
the force of carriers, the wall space here
tofore allotted to them being so crowded
that when they were all in they hardly had
room to turn around.
The new addition, which is separated
from the main room by a screen enclos-
ure, will be used by the rural carriers and
the other apartment by the city carriers.
