THE MESSIAH" ON THE PLAINS
Annual Musical Event of the West That
Attracts ThousAnds.

Because of is surroundings, and
uplifting by its earnest methods and
teaching, the Easter performance Of
The Messiah by the Swedish colony
at Lindsborg, in central Kansas, is
each spring one Of the interesting
events of the west" writes Charles M.
Harger in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"a musical festival that, out on the
comparatively sparsely settled prairies,
can bring together 10000 people dur
ing holy week, many of them coming
200 miles, must be excellent indeed.
The growth of the audiences in this
instance, year after year. indicates a
thorough appreciation of worthy
rendering of Handels great oratorio.
The Swedes are singing people, and
the religious sentiment Is strong in
their hearts. The one cherished day
for this colony of perhaps 1900 fami-
lies is Easter and the chief glory there
Of is The Messiah Four hundred

The State Department heard from Min
lister Conger this morning the despatch
having been transmitted by lines running
through Russian territory instead of by
the usual route from Pekin to Tientsin,
which has pres lmably been interfered with
by the Boxers.
Mr.. C0nger said that the situation was
not improving. The foreign forces had not
arrived at the time Of fling the despatch,
but Mr.. Conger expressed the opinion that
they would be able TO control the situation
when they did arrive.
Confirmation OF the press reports that
Prince Tuan, lie father OF the heir appar-
ent to the Chinese throne, who is notori-
ously anti-foreign, had been appointed
President OF the Tsung-Li- Yamen or Board
Of Foreign Affairs. and that three anti
foreign ministers had also been appointed,
was received
Commander Taussig, of the gunboat
Yorktown, telegraphed the Navy Depart
nent today that the Yorktown was leav-
ing Shanghai for Chefoo. No reason for
this movement was given in the despatch.
The naval officials say that the movement
was not ordered from Washington, but
may have been by Rear Admiral Kempff,
commanding the United States force in
Chinese waters.
despatch was received at the State
Department yesterday from the United
States Consul at ChefOO in which he said
that American missionaries in that vicin-
ity had been attacked by Boxers, and it is
supposed that the Yorktown has gone TO
| Chefoo 10 protect American interests.

Shantung peninsula, not a great distance
from Germany's Chinese territory. II is

LONDON. June IS-Aeeording 10 a de-
spatch from Paris there is a prospect for
immediate improvement in the Chinese
situation. French correspondent has
learned from high official sources that

dated O'Clock yesterday Afternoon, in
which he says that the Dowager Empress
had informed the ambassadors that the
entrance OF foreign troops would net be
resisted She acted very ehildishly and
asked l.. a simple way why the troops
were being brought into the country. NJ
Pichon told her that they were there to
protect Europeans and also to guard the
railway and telegraph lines.
1t has been known for several LayS that
the Dowager Empress is all but panic
stricken over the dire results of the u5-
rising to which she has given countenauec
il not actual support. The other day sc
began to fear for her life and, s--s

far to be put down by an ordinary meas

A despatch from Tientsin gives the fol-

Additional details have arrived concern
ing the Boxer attack on the British patrol
of sixteen marines at a point near Lang
Fang on Monday. Two thousand of the
rebels attempted to cut off the patrol,
which was two miles ahead OF the first
train conveying troops to Pekin.
The merines kept up a running fire for
over mile. The Boxers held their own
and did not fall back until REINFORCE
ments arrived with a Maxim gun. Then
they retreated.
The Europeans pursued them and car
ried two villages. The Boxers had forty
casualties. The British sustained no loss

of the japanese Legation at Pekin on Mon
day has caused a great stir here and it IS
believed that this inexcusable outrage will
DO much toward increasing the bitterness
between Japan and Russia. Japan be
