Attacks by Boxers in Chlnn.

Gable advices from China show the stu
alton around Pekin and Tien-Tsin has gone
from bad to worse, the Boxers continu-
ing to close in on the latter city, which is
practically under arms, while Russian
troops are said to have been ordered from
Port Arthur to the neighborhood of the
capital to punish the rebels for killing two
Cossacks and wounding two others.
Rear Admiral Kempff has landed 30
American marines at Taku, apparently to
reinforce the 100 previously landed, his
cipher message, which is somewhat OBJ
scure, stating that an engagement had
begun"
American missionaries at Pao- Ting Flu at
midnight Sunday appealed to the United
States Minister for immediate aid, as the
mission was being attacked and intense
indignation was felt over delay in sending
them reinforcemeuts, caused by Chinese
red tape.
Six men and two ladies', French and
Belgian refugees from Pao Ting Flu, have
arrived at Ten Tsiu. Nine are still
missing.
1t is reported from Pekin that Mr..
Stevenson, of the Church of England, at
YEN Ching, has been murdered and that
Mr.. Norman of the same mission is missing.
The French Consulate has received inform
alton from priests at Pao Ting Flu that 30
foreigners, including six ladies and child,
who were attempting to escape from Pao
Ting Flu to Tien Tsin in boats, were at
tackled by over 700 Boxers, armed with
rifles and spears. Many of the foreigners
were wounded aud four were killed out
right, but the fate of the remainder of the
party is unknown. Having little ammu-
milton, however, it is considered impossible
that they could hold out against their
assailants.
The American and other foreign guards,
numbering $40, arrived at Pekin on Friday,
in the midst of the dragon festival. The
streets were unusually crowded, and
though the people were greatly interested
in the annual spectacle, no manifestation
of hostility was made.
The Empress Dowager has ordered the
governor of Shan-Si to arrest Lin, the
Chinese manager of the Pekin Syndicate;
Kia, chief of the Shan-Si Commercial
bureau, and Fan, the leading banker, on
the ground that they are dangerous charac-
ters, but in reality because they are con-
nected with British enterprises.

How Have the Mighty. Fallen.
From the Fair Haven Era. ]

The efforts being made by Judge Powers
to secure a denomination in the First dis
trict are most pitiful and are enough to eX-
cite the ridicule of every self-respecting
citizen of this commonwealth. The idea
of former judge of the supreme court,
who for the past ten years has misrepre-
scented his state in Congress, going about
the state and with his own mouth trump
ing up petty and miserable innuendoes
against a fellow candidate. o, ye gods
Just think of a Morrill,, Joyce, Stewart
or a Proctor, condescending to such petit
ness for the sake of office. IT'S no wonder
that Judge Powers is fast finding himself
forsaken. Vermonters love fighter, but
he must fight fair and square. They will
not countenance one who deals blows be-
low the belt.

warn the Democrats to beware of a
man who would repeat what, if they had
occurred, were confidential conversations.
Iney must remember the old adage that
Those who lie down with dogs NAV ex-

ter, of Montana.
1t the senator from South Dakota de-
slres to engage in personalities | will chal-
lenge him to tell all he knows about me.
ana then l will tell some things | know
about him Senator Hanna of Ohio.
These are few excerpts from an excit-
ing political debate which occupied the at
tention of the Senate Tuesday.
In charging the Republicans with bad
faith for failing to pass the antitrust bill
through the Senate, there was running
fire of political talk in which Senators
Pettigrew, Hanna and Carter were the
chief figures
The charge that the Republicans were
trying TO force an armor plate contract at
price which would give the manufac
turers great profits, in order that they
might secure vast contributions TO their
campaign fund, led to references to the
campaign of 1892, when Senator Carter
was chairman of the Republican National
committee and Senator Pettigrew was an
ardent and enthusiastic Republican. Mr.
Pettigrew made the distinct charge Tuesday
that the Cramps had contributed $780, 900
to that campaign fund
This brought fiat denials from Senators
Hanna and Carter. Mr.. Hanna's denial
led to a long reference by Mr.. Pettigrew to
the charges of bribery made in connection
with Senator Hanna's first election, in
which Major Estes G. Rathbone, now in
volved in charges of extravaganza in con-
nOction with Cuban postal funds, figured
prominently.
Mr. Hanna. asserted that all of the brb-
cry talk was a conspiracy, entered into
by Democrats and "Republican traitors
like the senator from South Dakota"
Mr.. Carter denied that Mr.. Pettigrew
had ever had the conversation with him
which the senator from South Dakota had
quoted and said he believed the alleged
talk with Mr.. Cramp was all fgment OF
the Imagination. He said that if the
Cramps gave 100000 he did not know it,
and that he had never heard any charges
of misuse of campaign funds.

Another big FIRE at FoIboIo. Mass.

The town hall at Foxboro, Moss, which,
besides the town Offices, contained the High,
grammar and three intermediate schools,
was burned Sunday. George H. Josselyn
was killed and Arthur A. Josselyn so dan
gerouslv injured that it is feered he will
die. Samuel johnson and Joseph Wat
kins were also injured. The financial loss
is estimated at $4,000, and the building
was insured for 100000. 1t is thought
that the fire was the result of an incen-
diary's work. All of the victims were
members of the local fire department, who
were attending to their duties within the
structure, when the cupola fell through the
roof. George and Arthur Josselyn, who
are brothers, were almost directly beneath
the cupola. George Josselyn was instantly
killed. Arthur Josselyn sustained brok-
en- leg and bruises about the head, besides
being injured internally.
This disaster, following closely on the
destruction of the big straw mill week
ago. involving a loss of 100000, has
greatly disturbed the community 1t is

less Incendiary is at work, as half score

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
The NorrhheId Bridge Problem.

Northfeld confronts another bridge prob
lem. The old toll bridge connecting the
town with South Vernon and used by the
Central Vermont railroad and the town
highway, Jointly, is claimed to have earned
retirement and the railroad company pro-
poses 10 take it down. 1t has served no
tice on the officers of the town of its inten-
ton and gives the town the alternative of
paying Sl1 900 towards new steel bridge,
plus the cost of flooring, or being cut of
from this means of getting across the Con-
necticut river. The railroads representa-
tives state that the new bridge is to cost
So 600, if for the railroads use alone,
while if constructed for the highway to oc-
cupy the lower deck it will cost 5,OOO.
The plans are shown and the estimate is
furnished by the Detroit Bridge and Iron
company of Detroit, Mich. A special town
meeting has been called in Northtield for
next Monday at 9 A. NJ, when the voters
will take action in the matter.
The Greenfield Recorder says: Inc
legal situation of the bridge is peculiar.
It was built under a charter granted
by the legislature to ''the proprietors OF
the Mortified bridge" in 1916, to build
and maintain bridge and charge specified
tolls The toll-period was limited to on
years from the opening of the bridge. By
subsequent act the proprietors were per
mitted to turn their charter over to the
Vermont & Massachusetts, railroad com
Pany, which was to assume all the duties
and liabilities of the proprietors.
The tol-period expired January l, 1879
The railroad company did not, however,
cease taking tolls until a special act of the
legislature of last year directed them to do
so, and undertook to define the relations
existing between the railroad company and
the town. This act expressly continued
the obligations of the railroad company
without impairment 1t is now question
whether the proprietors of the bridge can
close out the public at will or demand the
payment of a part of the cost of construct
ing a new bridge, when the old one is ample
and safe for public travel.
The bridge is about 700 feet long. lt II
awooden structure of the familiar Howe
truss pattern, the railroad using the toE
and the highway boxed into the lower
deck It spans the Connecticut in tn
northerly part of the village, about a mil'
from the Vermont line and two mile
above its famous neighbor, the new North
held bridge.
