MISSIONARY ROBERTS.
No Word Has Been Received from Hin

No Word Has Been Received from Him
 He May be in Pekin.
 Hartford, Aug. 3.--A reporter who called at the home of Mrs. Roberts, wife 1 of Missionary James K. Roberts, here to-day ascertained that the family had received no word of the escape from Pekin of that gentleman. Mrs. Roberts believes in his safety if he is at Pekin, She believes most of the foreigners are l safe there and thinks her husband is with them
 REPORTED SAFE-A TERRIBLE
 EXPERIENCE.
 A special to the New York Journal and Advertiser to-day states that MT. l Roberts is safe, having escaped from Pekin, and has arrived at Troitzkosa- wask, Transbaikali, Siberia The dis patch says: Seven American mission aries from Pekin, with their families. have arrived at Troltzkosa wask, Trans baikali, Siberia They escaped from Pekln and were chased across the sand and mountains of the Gobi desert, for 400 miles, suffering fearful tortures from the hot sand, exposure and lack of food and water. The Russian governor of Transbaikali sent out 800 Cossacks, who galloped south 400 miles into the desert and rescued them. The cavalry gave them food and shelter and brought them to Troitzkosawask, where they are receiving care at the hands of the authorities. Thousands of Christians have been massacred, they report, and thousands more will die at the hands of the Boxers, unless the powers seud large endorsements. The Chinese troops have been ordered to kill all Christians and burn all their prop erty.'
 While the dispatch says the mission aries escaped from Pekin, it is more probable that they or at least some of them were from Kalgan, where the American Board Congregational has a large mission, adds the Journal
 The American missionaries were ,he Rev. Mark Williams aged sixty-six, of New London, Ohio the Rev. William P. Sprague and Mrs. Viette I. SpraHue of Erie, Pa, and the Rev. James H | Roberts of Hartford, Conn. Their | journey across the resert must have been a fearful experience. The desert is 800 miles wide, plentifully sprinkled | with cases, on which are villages in- habited by Mongols. It is crossed by | the great caravan route from Kalgan to | Kiakhta, over which many thousand | camels pass every day, bearing the tea and silks of China to Russia. The tel | egraph line Is completed a great part | if not all of the distance and probably |, the party of refugees was able to tele- graph to Kiakhta and so cause the governor of Transbaikali, which is one of the provinces of Siberia, to send the | Cossacks to their aid. They are now | only a few days journey east of Lake Baikail and the Trans Siberian railway is in operation as far as Irkufsk, on the western side of the lake so they will

Waterbury Young Lady Rescued at Walnut Beach. Bridgeport, Aug. 3-While bathing at Walnut Beach yesterday Miss Sadie Hayward experienced narrow escape from drowning. She is a social belle of Waterbury and is spending the summer at Walnut Beach, guest at W. w. Jer- mans cottage. At high tide numbAr of cottagers were having a merry time
 in the water, when suddenly Miss Hay ward, who was a short distance from the others, disappeared beneath the surface. She had gone down the second time and would have drowned had it not been for the presence of mind of an unknown young man who was in the water with the party.
 He dove beneath the waves and groped on the bottom for the body of the young lady. He found her, and swimming with one hand, succeeded in drawing her after him into shoal water Here a dozen willing hands picked her up and she was carried to the cottage. She soon afterward recovered and expe- rienced little effect from her adventure The young man was of modest dis position and he declined to give his name.
 The rescue entitled him to a medal from congress under the act relating to rescues from perils of the sea.
 Miss Hayward is a daughter of Ed win F. Hayward of 51 Abbott avenue, pattern maker for the Plume & Att wood Manufacturing company, Water bury.

 Company Quit Work.

Fifteen Employees of the Aetna Brewing
 Company Quit Work. Hartford, Aug. 3.-At 1 o'clock this afternoon the entire working force of the Aetna Brewing company went out on strike. They did not give the conn., pany any notice of their actoin.
 Robert Chaser, secretary and treas urer of the company, informed a Times reporter this afternoon that he be- lieved the trouble was due to employ
 ing a man who had been suspended for thirty days by the union for an alleged violation of the rules. The trouble dates back two weeks, when two men were discharged by John Runner, the super intendent. The other employees asked for the reinstatement of the men. Tlf1s the company refused to do until the matter had been settled by an arbitra- tion committee.
 The officials of the company wrote to the headquarters of the International union in Cincinnati asking for ruling. The union refused to interfere saying that the employees were in the right. The men were taken back.
 Two of the employees stood by the company through the trouble, and they received notice from the union that they had been suspended for one month. The company agreed to let the men have the month for which they had been suspended for vacation period on pay.
 Thursday two employees were taken sick, and one of the suspended men, who WAS SDeDdine his vacation in ROs- ton was sent for He arrived this morning and started in to work The other employees then quit.

 Washington, Aug. 3.-The marine hos pital service has received the following cable dispatch from Past Assistant Sur geon Thomas announcing an outbreak of the bubonic plague in London:
 London, Aug. 3. Surgeon General Marine Hospital, Washington:
 There have been four cases of plague and two deaths from plague in London. Diagnosis confirmed by bacteriological examination. Do not think there will be further spread Thomas
 The dispatch from Surgeon Thomas gives no details as to the origin of the cases, nor whether they were on ship board or within the city itself. The marine hospital service authorities say that the instructions already given to quarantine officers safeguarding our ports against the disease are ample, and they express confidence that the disease is not likely to reach this coun- try.
 At the same time the bare possibility Of danger through shipping coming rom that port, or through possible communication of the disease in the event that the patients had not been under timely surveillance, is not over- looked, and quarantine officers will be especially watchful in the enforcement of the regulations.

President Mitchell was asked on his ar
rival from Pottsville tonight on what he
based his belief that the strike would
end this week. but he declined to say
anything other than that the proposition
Of the miners was so fair that he could
see no valid reason why the operators
should not accept. President Mitchell
declines to say what course would be
pursued IL one or more companies refused
to guarantee the payment OF the increase
until April.
A meeting OF the national executive
board OF the United Mine Workers of
America and the officers OF the anthracite
districts will be held here tomorrow for
the purpose, Mr.. Mitchell says. of thor
oughly canvassing the situation. He
would not say whether the conference
would take any positive action looking
toward the calling of of the strike. II
any action will be taken. he said. II would
depend entirely upon what the canvass
would show. In answer 20 another uues-
tion the labor leader said he would not
take the responsibility upon himself Of
calling M the strike. but would ra ther
have tho national board vote upon the
question.
