L.n Hsr Happy Home.

Myrtle La Crosse left her happy
home in Lamar and fled to this
city with a Mexican admirer one
day last week. Her lawful spouse
appeared upon the scene last
Thursday and swore out warrant
charging the faithless Myrtle and
her Mexican lothario with living
together as man and wife Myrtle
denied the soft impeachment,
claiming that she was simply act
ing as housekeeper for her Mexi-
can friend, who had secured lu-
crative position in this city as a
section hand on the Santa Fe.
Myrtle and her swarthy complex
ioned lover were slung into the
county bastile last Saturday night,
and there they sweltered and
sweat until Monday afternoon
when they were given preliminary
examination before Judge Finity.
They stuck to their story and
claimed they had done no wrong,
but circumstances were against
them. Judge Finity sentenced
both to thirty days in Jail, the SEN
tence in the case of the faithless
Myrtle to be suspended providing

til they are expelled" The ex-
element has caused the lectures in
the Imperial University to be dis
continued until the fall session,
and everything is very unsettled in
political matters.
The Empress Dowager still
holds the reins OF authority, and
being advised by very old and con-
servative counsellors, is using her
power in ways that are hostile to
progress. A revolution must soon
occur after which China will make
rapid advances, The Imperial
University here at Tientsin is doing
fine work. 1t is well equipped
with scientific and chemical ap-
pliances and has large workshop
well furnished with steam engine,
wood and iron working machinery.
Our next move will be to the sea-
shore at Pe-tai-ho, where both of
our children have summer homes.
From there we will go to Shanghai
for the voyage home. We will be
truly glad to see our dear friends
again. We have been saddened
by the news OF sickness and death
in our beloved church, which we
never forget in our prayers. This
letter should cross the ocean on
the "Doric," leaving Shanghai on
May 26th. We have secured a
room on the same steamer for the
home trip on her next voyage. We
are both quite well and send hearty
greetings to all friends. Very cor

Thanks for the TRIBUNE which
reaches us regularly and is highly
appreciated and read through and

The following letter from Rev.
DR.. Coltnan was received last Sat
urday morning, too-late for publ
cation in our last issue. DR.. Colt
mans friends in this city have
been very anxious concerning his
safety since the recent outbreak
in China, and have been unable to
learn anything definite as to wheth-
er or not he has escaped harm.
DR.. Finney recently wrote to a
son Of DIR. Coltman's living in
Pennsylvania, making inquiry as
to whether he had heard anything
from his father. He received a
reply to the effect that the son had
sent cablegram to his father in
China some weeks ago, but as yet
had received no reply. AS Tent
sin has been shut of from tele-
graphic communication with the
outside world for several weeks
past the fact Of not receiving re-

the fears of DR.. Coltman's friends
have been realized. They hope

Insufferable.

Claims His Position In Pretoria Was
InsufferabIe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In state
ment issued yesterday Charles Macrum,
former United States consul to Pre-
toria, says:
"The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official, l could not
remain there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as to
the exact conditions in South Africa;
secondly, as man and citizen of the
United States, / could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-re-
spect and that of the people of Pretoria,
while the government at home contin-
ued to leave me in the position of a
British consul and not an American
consul. j want to say right here that
there was not n single request made of
me through the department of state
looking to the care of British interests
in Pretoria which did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders.
On the other hand, American interests
in South Africa were in q condition
which demanded that the department
of state should be cognizant of them.
II issued the statement received
from the state department that
Americans must remain neutral. In
the face of this Americans were con-
tinually going to the front and taking
up arms in the cause of the Beers. |
could not help but know that many
of these were citizens of the United
States. i also know that many of
them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own government We're
taking the oath of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic.' When affairs had
reached that stage that my vice consul,
Mr.. Van Ameringen, closed up his bus
mess, took the oath of allegiance to
the republic and went to the front rs
a burgher, l thought the time had
come when should make report of
these conditions.
He goes on to explain that his mail
was opened by the British authorities.
He therefore asked leave of absence
and came to Washington to report the
conditions, but was surprised upon his
arrival to learn that he was no longer
in the cosular service and that the de-
partment of state expected no report
from him
