HORRIBLE TORTURE,
Story Of Awful Suffering inflicted Upon
u missionary.

Story Of Awful Suffering inflicted Upon,
Missionary.
A San Francisco Chronicle special
from Victoria, B. c., says:
Advices received from North China
contain particulars of the awful torture
inflicted on the Rev. H. " Norman, who
with Rev. G. Robinson, was among the
first of the American missionaries
to become victims of the Boxers. A
correspondent writing from Tien Tsin,
on July Z, says some refugees who ar
rived there gathered from Chinese ghast-
ly details of the tortures inflicted on
Norman. 1t seems that he fell into the
hands of the Lii, the head man of a little
town hard by the Anglican mission
where he and Robinson had their head
quarters. In quarrel between the
Boxers and Christians the converts had
driven off the Boxers from the mission,
and Lii vowed vengeance. This he took
in horrible manner when Norman was
thrown into his hands. After his cap
ture by the rioters, from whom Ii took
the captive, the missionary was stripped
by the retinue of Ii and collar of iron
was fastened to his neck. A short chain
was attached and he was tethered to a
stake. The Chinese men, women and
children then poked sharp sticks into
his flesh and jabbed him with tridents.
Whent he sank down, weak with loss of
blood and half-crazed by the awful tor
ture, he was unable to get upon his
knees even, the chain being made too
short, and he strangled slowly. Molten
lead was then thrown on his nude body
and as he writhed in agony he was stab
ed to death. His body was cut to pieces.
Robinson was slaughtered without
lingering SO long in agony. He was cut
down by mob and hacked to pieces al
most instantly, A number of the mis-
sion converts were slaughtered. Some
were asked to recant, and those who did
so to save their lives were saddled and
bridled and forced to crawl to the tenn
pie idols.

CHINESE APPEAL
To the United States Govern
tnent Receives Attention.
FURTHER ASSURANCES
OF Safety of Foreigners at Pekin Still
Discredited by the European
Powers.

Special to the Bee.
London, July 24-Information from
Pekin, dated July 1S, says that Tsung
Ii Yamen deputed Won Jul, an under
secretary of the department., to see the
foreign ministers and he found every one
we'll, without any missing, the German
minister excepted. General Lung WI
is going to memorialize the throne to
send them all under an escort to Tien
Tsin in the hope that operations will
then be stopped.
There is nothing further this morning
that throws any light upon the mysteri-
GUS situation. Two urgent dispatches
were addressed yesterday by the Chinese
minister to the Pekin government and
the administrator of telegraph communi-
cation, recommending the restoration of
telegraph communication so as to enable
the powers to learn of the safety of for
eigners. Until such proofs are secured
no one here is inclined to alter their
opinion that the Chinese are Juggling to
gain time. 1t is rumored that Ii Hung
Chang is credited with mission to offer
to cede to the allied powers two prov
inces as indemnity for the Pelxin out
RACES, and also to offer to restore order
and give facilities for trade with the out
side world on condition of the surrender
of Kiaochou, Wer Hal Wei and Manchu-
ria by the powers, and the withdrawal of
all missionaries. Little attention, how
ever, is paid to any of these rumors.
Berlin, July 23.-The Berlin govern
ment and press continue to disbelieve
the assurances of Chinese authorities
that the Pekin legations are safe. Atall
events the German foreign office will
continue to regard the report that the
legations still exist as myth until com
munication, now cut off for nearly a
month, shall have been re-established in
most indubitable fashion.
Washington, July 23.-The president
has listened to an appeal of the Chinese
government as transmitted through Min
lister WI and has signified his willing
ness to mediate between the imperial
government and the powers, but only
upon conditions which first must be met
by the Chinese government. The exact
nature of the terms proposed by the
state department cannot be stated until
tomorrow, when it is expected publica
tion will be made of the text of the Chi
nese appeal and of the presidents an
swer. 1t is known, however, that the
answer is entirely consistent with the
statement of the principles laid down by
Secretary Hay in his identical note to
the powers, and moreover, it accepts as
truthful Chinese statements relative to
the safety of foreign ministers at Pekin.
Fumsi, July 23.-The Kumassi relief
column has just arrived from Kumassi
which it left on July II, bringing the old
garrison, about 20 fairly fit men, 70 bro.
ken down invalids and some women and
children in pitiful condition. Finding
Kumassi in such terrible condition, COL
Willreck, after cutting brush and burn
ing bodies, placed the whole force on
half rations. No opposition was met on

DOM ESTlC GRIEVANCES.
The Wife Should Not AIR Them Before
Her Husband,

Her Husband.
1t seems to be we'll understood at the
present date that the straw that breaks
the back of the modern business man is
to come home at night and be compelled
to listen to his wife's groanings about
the longcomings or shortcomings of the
servants and the other diurnal calami
ties that have assailed the household
Husbands aver that they don't return
home and make every one miserable by
unloading their business cares and wor-
ries, and they don't see why their wives
cannot exercise similar reticence.
There is one woman who, few years
ago, made the mighty resolve that neither
her husband nor her acquaintances
should hear from her own lips any word
concerning her relations with her house
maids. In order to keep her resolution
fresh in her mind, she wrote in large
script on card the word mum" and
hung itacross her dressing mirror. While
it might signify nothing or dozen things
to others who saw it, to herself it was
big with meaning, the one really stipend
GUS word in the English language. At
the end of six months she found, in hav-
ing learned to drop her worries and an
noyances on the spot, wherever they oc-
cured in the kitchen, pantry or parlor,
instead of treasuring them up to detail
at dinner or to her afternoon caller, that
she escaped the wear and tear of them
herself, thus keeping her mind and heart
free for other and more profitable things.
When asked if she had not found it
difficult at first to refrain from pouring
out her annoyances into some sympa-
thetic ear, she exclaimed: "Difficult!"
Why. I thought at times would explode
outright from my pent-up feelings. So
l looked about me for scapegoat, and
turning to my large PACED calendar on
the wall, had the inspiration to turn it's
white sides out, and write on them
furiously and fast a certain small word,
over and over again, until the absurdity
of the performance convulscd me with
laughter. So between two brief words
came off victor, and now it would require
an effort to dilate to any one regarding
the private affairs of my household. No.
my husband never knew how it came
about, nor what it cost me-you see, I
am one of the women who can keep a
secret.
Moreover men aren't the superhuman
beings beings we often think, in the way
of shouldering burdens, for be their af-
fairs small or large, they are SO filled up
with them as to have no room left for the
voluntary consideration of the thousand
and one grievances the partner at home
has to meet and adjust, and they ask
enough. what a woman with
brains is for. I am convinced she con-
that the reason-the secret
why all womankind is so beset to talk
about domestic trials is simply self-in-
diligence, no more, no less; just as men
fall into the thraldom of whisky. cigars.

that they just can't live without il"

alias Rosatti was arrested today on the
charge of swindling. Rosall had made
arrangements with George Smith of
Teton county for the purchase of $4,000
worth of sheep and land and had been
negotiating the deal for ten days. He
showed Smith certificate of deposit for
$4,000 on the Carbon county bank as
evidence of his financial standing. The
deal was about to be completed when
Smith wired the Carbon county bank.
He received the following telegram in
reply: Prank Rosall, alias Rosatti, alias

rest him if possible and advise Fergus
