MISSIONARIES IN PEKIN.
Message Regarding Their
Fate Received in New York.

| NEW YORK, July 6.-The Rev. DR.. A
Woodruff Haisey, one of the secretaries O.
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at $50 Fifth Avenue, received
cablegram today from the Rev. W. o. Ell
terich. at Chefoo, regarding Presbyterian
missionaries In north China. The message
was sent In response to one asking fol
| specific information of all the Presbyterian
| missionaries in that section. This enquiry
was sent about week ago, and Mr.. Elite
rich evidently took time to obtain detailed
news. His cablegram was as follows:
"Chefoo, July 5.
Hodges, Simcoxes, Taylor at Pao-
ting-Fu; Lowerie, Tientsin: Miilers.
Korea. None left Pekin. Shantung mis-
sionaries safe. ELTERICH."
The darkest part OF this message ars
the words, None lef, Pekin" That may
mean that all Of those who were in pekin
a month ago are dead or that they failed
| TO get out of the city. The full list of the
Presbyterian missionaries at the Pekin
station sent by the New York board, is as
follows:
The Rev John Wherry, D. H.; the Rev.

Mrs. Killie. John NJ Ingis, NJ. D.. and
Mrs. Inglis; Miss Eliza Z. Leonard, N. D.;
Miss Grace Newton. Miss Bessie Mccoy,
and Miss Jennie McKillican.
The fate Of those left at Paotiug-Fu Is
also in doubt but the message shows that
some who were at that station are now
safe. 1t was the Rev. and Mrs. ]. A. Miller
who got to Korea and the Rev. J. W. Low
erie who got to Tientsin. Another mis-
sionary at that station, Mrs. A. =. Lowerie,
