Russian Cruelty.

From the beg .nning the conduct Of
the Russians has been blot on the
campaign. When entering Pekin cor
respondents of the Associated press
saw Cossaclss smash down Chinese
women with the butts Of their guns
and pound their heads until they were
dead. The Cossacks would pick up
children barely old enough to walk,
hold them by the ankles and beat out
their brains on the pavement. Rus
sian officers looked on without protest.
American officers at Taku. days the
lighting was finished, saw Russians
bayonet children and throw old men
into the river, clubbing them to death
when they tried to swim. The Rus
slams killed women who knelt before
them and begged for mercy.

Corrigan.
John W. Hanley, supposedly insane,
rang the door-bell of Archbishop Cor

asked to see the well known prelate.
The butler, John Nestor, not liking
the looks of the man, told him the
archbishop was engaged.
Hanley then asked to see Father
Connolly, the archbishop's secretary.
The visitor was admitted. AS Nestor
closed the door Hanley rushed into the

he demolished the furniture, silver

Russia However, Expecting an Early
Answer to Note.
France has not yet replied to Russia's
note regarding the withdrawal of
troops from Pekin. M. Delcasse, min
lister of foreign affairs, and the Russian
ambassador, Prince Curoussaw, went
to Rambouilla toconfer upon President
Loubet the decoration of the Russian
Order of St. Andrew, recently accorded
him by the czar, and to present to Mr..
Loubet the autograph letter accom-
panying the decoration. 1t is believed
that this will give opportunity for an
exchange of views which will have an
effect upon the ministerial meeting
to be held soon. France regards peace
as the first requisite of the situation,
but is not entirely certain that the
withdrawal of the troops from Pekin
is the surest and quickest method to
attain this end.
