Tien Tsin. June 2.-The foreigners VINO
escaped from FASTING Flu are ten miles

killed and four are wounded. An eXpe-
dition is proceeding to their relief.
Pekin. Friday, June 1.-The American
and other foreign guards, numbering 34S,
arrived here in the midst of the dragon
festival. The streets We're unusually
crowded and though the people We're
greatly interested in the annual spec
tacle, no manifestation of hostility was
made.
The presence of the guards has al
ready had a marked effect upon the
bearing of the Chinese toward foreign
ers.
The excitement in the adjacent coun-
try has been much allayed, but many
Christian refugees are still fiocking into
the city. The "boNers'' are evidently
moving afeld. Unfortuna tely no lead
ers Of the boxers have been arrested,
though their capture would have been
easy.
All the government has done has been
to occupy the scenes of disturbances and
no real repressive measures have been
taken.

WORK OF THE "BOXERS."
INTERESTING LETTER FROM AM
ERICAN MISSIONARY.
Peace Would Come in Partition
Mission Work at Stand
Still.

Ellsworth, Maine, June 2.-Dr. Mary l..
Burnham, daughter of o. r. Burnham
who has charge of the hospital or "com-
pund" connected with the Presbyterian
Mission at Chinon Flu, China, in recent
letter tells of the work of the boxers"
in that vicinity. The letter was written
a few days before the massacre of sew
eral native Christians in towns near
Gilman Flu and the killing from ambush
of twentysix soldiers in a regiment sent
from Gilman Flu to the scene of the mas
sacre. Miss Burnham says:
THE new governor at Gilman Flu has
succeeded in qquelling all outward signs
of the Ia La Hui (Big Knife Sect or
Boxers) entirely. We cannot go from
the city, however, without a guard and
s3i|i. aRiA OF the "'ss''" work IS at stand
The English consul, Mr.. Campbell, is
still here. He had two men put to death
for the murder of Mr.. Brooks. 1t was a
cold blooded affair and was only possible
because of the anti-foreign feeling in the

end of the boxers yet

but is crippled by his subordinate Of

English consul, much trouble. Both the
English and the Americans have asked
their representatives to insist on his re-
moval.
"We are quite safe here now but it
has come to our ears that we had mar
row escape during the old governors
term OF office. The big knives, embolden-
ed by official favor. had decided to loot
our .compunds' here. This came to his
ears, and he beheaded two or three men
whom he had in custody.
'From papers it would appear that the
movement was going north and slowly.
but decidedly gaining ground. I fear
there can only be peace in China If it Is
partitioned, and If partitioned there will
be a long period of unrest and unquiet." !"

the commander in chief at johannesburg,
it is believed that either French must be
many miles north of the city or that he
is having trouble with his communica-
tions.
The former is the most acceptaed as
the most probable and it is surmised that
Roberts vague phrase setting forth that
French is now holding the place I di-
rected him to do, north of johannesburg y
which means that his position is quite
close to Pretoria.
The additional fact that Roberts dis
patch published today is dated four hours
earlier than the one given out yesterday
and that it takes the proceedings no fur
ther than May 31st, leads to the conclu-
sion that some important movement is
on foot or that Roberts himself has not
been able to keep his lines clear behind
him.
Possibly the next place Roberts will be
heard from will be Pretoria. 1t seems
that French should certainly be within
striking distance Of the camps today.
General Rumble appears to have re-
turned to Senekal after fighting eastward
and contemplates an early forward
movement. Boer prisoners say that fifty
men We're killed and many wounded in
the recent fight.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter
from State Secretary Reitz dated April
26, saying: "The British government
promised the British nation that the cost
of the war will be betrayed by the Beers.
But as the latter will not be in position
to pay, Great Britain must obtain the
money from the gold mines which will
thereby be mulcted of half the net pro-
fits whereas the Transvaal never levied
special ia on gold. The instiga tors of
the war, Rhodes, Wernher, Belt and 9TH
ers will suffer most. In addition the Brit
ish will have to maintain a garrison of
$4,000 men. the cost Of which the mines
will also have to pay. AS soon as the
British troops are withdrawn wars and
rebellions will break out not for years,
but for centuries. For England this
means a constant source of trouble, an
noyance and bloodshed."

THE EASTERN TRADE.
CHINA IMPORTS FOR LAST YEAR
ARE $1ss, ,1O3,77s.
United States Contributes But One Per
Cent of Total Tonnage-Chinese
Exports.

Washington, June 2.-United States
Consul General GOodnow at Shanghai
has transmitted to the state department
an interesting statement in regard to the
Chinese commerce last year, which the
consul says was characterized by an
astonishing development. The net value
of the import trade for 1899 was $685.
103, 77S, double that of 1890. The importa-
tion of opium was over million pounds
in excess of the imports during the pre-
ceding year. The trade in cotton goods
which had remained pract D.ally station
ary for three years made a great advance
rising from $54, ,255, ,557 in 1898 to $73,51,-
917. In piece goods great increase in
the imports of American product was
noted although it was considerably
checked by the high prices ruling dui1 g
the last quarter of the year.
The importation of sundries rose from
SCI, ,65S, 1877 to $79.3l8,126.
The value of the -four imported was
81. 266. 1873 and all of it was from the UL>
ed States
The value of last years exports from
China is estimated at $139, 105.123 and this
amount, as in the case of the imports,
is more than double that shown in 1898.
Chinese exports it is said, are at pres
ent checked by price and inferior quail
ity, due respectively to the cost OF trans
portatiOn and the heavy taxation and to
adulteration and faulty methods of pre-
paration. Prices will come down and
the demand for Chinese wares increase,
says the consul wen railways bring the
goods more cheaply and the government
takes steps to prevent the adulterat ton
now rampant. The expectation of tea
to the United States was five million
pounds in excess of the amount sent out
sin 1898. "It is humiliating fact" says
Consul Goodnow, that of the total tom
mage of vessels entering and clearing
from Chinese ports last year the United
States only contributed one per cent of
the total tonnage the American flag
flOaed over only ner cent.

SINH AmcrIcn kccp Faith /.

At any ordinary time or in almost any
other circumstances, the fact that many OF
Mr.. McKinley's most trusted advisers. or
gans. and personal supporters are vehe-
menuy opposed 10 his present attitude to-
ward Porto Rico would be a sufficient warn
ing TO him TO change his course in the mat
ter. That he does not heed the warning
is both a surprise and a sorrow to the
friends throughout the country who have
been willing TO overlook his previous mis-
take in the faith that, while he may have
been weak in allowing wicked and corrupt
influences to dominate his Administration
in some respects in the main he would be
found patriotic and true. But now so
strong a Mckinley partisan as DR.. Schur-
man, who was at the head Of the first
Philippine Commission, feels it his duty TO
denounce the proposed legislation designed
to Cypress Porto Rico in the interests Of
certain monopolies and incidentally con-
denim the Presidents course in the matter.
Dr. Schurman argues that we are bound in
honor and good faith TO give free trade TO
Porto Rico In fulfllment OF the promise
made 10 the inhabitants Of the island by
General Miles when he took possession of
it. General Miles pledged the public faith
that the Porto Ricsns should enjoy the
same rights. privileges, and immunities
that were enjoyed by the people of the
United States II must be remembered that
under international law, the position he &C.
cupied endowed him with unquestionabe
power and authority to make such a dec
lRrstion and promise, and 10 firmly bind
bis Government by II. Dr. Schurman says.
The present issue is simple: Shall we re-
pudiste or shall We fulfill the national en-
gagements? Shall this great Republic
break faith with the little island OF Porto
Rico2 Having occurred the fruits of Cen
eral Miles promise shall We now renounce
the promise2"
The universal reply OF the American peo-
rle is that we should not and must not do
anything OF the kind 1t Is possible, Of
course. that an Administration and a Con-
gress. apparently helpless In the hands OF
a few protected monopolies. may commit
the crime against our fundamental law and
our honor, involved In the Payne PROPOSE

domestic trade with integral American ter
ritory; but Nemesis is certain 10 overtake

the country is aroused and may be heard

Are the Filipinos. he asks, now TO learn
that in the first legislation for our new

This is & question which. coming from the
mouth Of distinguished Republican. an
adherent OF Mr. Mckinley. and one OF the
men most prominently identified with the
Administration policy OF expansion, cannot
be ignored
