Eleven Americans and Four Britons
Massacred at Pao-TinG-Fu
by the Boxers.
TWO MORE HEADS DEMANDED
EXECUTION OF VI AND WING NEIN
REQUESTED BY THE ALLIES.
Anglo-German Agreement Reported
to Have Been Finally Accepted
by France and Russia.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The Chinese imbrog-
lilo is in a state of stagnation. Shanghai
sends renewed rumors that the court from
Si-Nan-Fu is sending agents to collect
funds i'm the southern and central prov
inces Advices from Pao-TingFu give har-
rowing accounts of the sufferings of mis-
sionaries at the hands of Boxers. and 1t
is reported that fen missionaries are still
at Cheng-Ten-Fu.
The correspondent of the Morning Post
at Pao-Ting-Fu, wiring Oct 20, says: 1.-The
Boxers declare that the provincial treas
urer has ordered them to kill all foreign
ers. He allowed eleven American and four
British to be massacred."
Dr. Morrison wiring to the Times from
Peking under date of Oct. rs, says: 1.-THE
foreign ministers, in conference to-day, de-
cided to add the names of Prince VI and
Ying Men to those of the seven officials
whose execution France has demanded. 1t
is said that the commander of the allied
troops at Pao-Ting-Fu has arrested the
provincial treasurer, who was chiefly re-
sponsible for the ill-treatment of the res
cued missionaries"
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Express claims to have authority for
the statement that when peace is restored
Russia will hand back to its owners the
railway from TongFu to Niu-Chwang.
Another dispatch from st. Petersburg
says: 1.-The Russian sappers, who were en-
ployed to dig out and destroy the mines at
Mukden, official dispatches say, found the
whole district mined, and it was only the
unexpected arrival of the Russians that
commission was appointed to investi-
gate. The advices also say that the provin-
cial treasurer escaped, and that the Chi
nese guerrillas had been looting extensive
ly, their booty including the Manchu throne,
extensive libraries, collections Of pictures
and colossal archaeological objects. all of
great value"
The semi-official Politische Correspon-
denz, of Vienna, asserts that France and
Russia, after discussion. have decided to
accept the Anglo-German agreement.

ANOTHER ESTIMATE.
IL Gives Mckinley 273 Votes Sure,
with n Probability of 2S4.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S-Walter Wellman,
telexraphing to the Times-Herald from
New York, says: Mckinley and Roosevelt
will carry the country week from next
Tuesday. Their electoral vote will surely
be 20. or two more than Mckinley had In
1S96 1t probably will be PSI, thirteen
more than in 1896. IL may rise above 800.
McKinIeys majority OF the popular vote
will probably be about 10000 against 100000
four years ago
The Republicans will elect majority OF
ali the members of the House of Represen-
tatives, the number of Republican repre-
sentatives being estimated at 100, against
1s5 elected to the present House and zoe
elected In 1896; I79 are needed to control the
organization
In but few of the actually contested
States are the pluralities for either party
likely TO be as large as four years ago.
Bryans big pluralities I'm the West will
be cut down or reversed; Mckinley will
lose heavily from the tidal wave figures
os 1896 In the East and to a lesser extent
in the middle West.
OF all the States carried by Mckinley four
years ago he is likely to lose none except
Kentucky. and there the chances are re-
doubt. with the odds in McKinIey's favor.
OF the States which Bryan carried four
years ago Mckinley will now get Kansas,
Washington. South Dakota and Wyoming,
probably Utah. and possibly Nebraska and
Idaho.
The conclusions are based upon a great
mass of information gathered from party
managers and workers. much Of Ii in con-
regardless OF what its pnrport might be.
Earlier in this campaign the writer was
doubtful of Republican success. Just after
the two national conventions he thought
Bryan had an even chance to win. He has
been forced by overwhelming evidence To
the conclusion that Bryan is now hopeessly
beaten.
II Is often said that the politicians, men
who make wagers. newspaper investigators,
do not know anything about such a situa-
tion as we now have in the country; that
they can only guess. and may guess wrong.
Admitting the great difficulty OF intelligent
~ forecasting the way in which 1900, 900
meE viii vote. it does not follow that we
who seek only the truth must necessarily
srope In the dark. There are many ways
IN which the trend OF public opinion can
in the work rarely make serious mistakes.
In 1892 the writer had no doubt of the
success OF Cleveland. In 1896 he predicted
that every State northeast Of the Missouri
river and in addition thereto the border
States OF Delaware. Maryland, West vir-
ginia and Kentucky. would vote for Nc
Kinley. Now and then there is cam
paign I'm which signs fail and surprises fol-
low. but neither 1852 nor 1896 was OF this
character. and there is no reason to be-
iieve that 1900 Is Should Bryan win now
Il would be the greatest political surprise of
the century.

RansdeII. one of the shrewdest politicians
OF Indiana, reported 10 the national COM
mittee that the State was in danger. Three
weeks ago he reported that the chances
were about even. Now he says Indiana is
safe for Mckinley, and that the plurality
will be about 1900 Two weeks ago Mayor
Taggart came here to see Croker. He said
Indiana was hanging in the balance. If
Croker would raise $4,000 for him he be-
lieved he could carry the State for Bryan.
Croker replied that he had troubles enough
at home. and Mr.. Taggart went back to
Indianapolis empty-handed. From that day
to this the Democrats have had no real
hope of Indiana. Chairman Jones has been
appealed to for financial help; he says he
has no funds. Eastern Democrats say the
Democratic national committee is busted
and they blame Senator Jones for it.
though doubtless he has done the best he
could. In 1892, the high-tide Democratic
year, 1000 was the best the Democrats
could do for Cle1eland. though they had
everything in their favor and ample funds.
That year they carried the cities Cor the
counties in which cities are situated) by
1900. and the country counties by 1900. In
ioSo tie IAtpuDnCdDS the city Coun-
ties by 10000. and lost the agricultural
counties by 1900. But in 1898 the farmers
were coming around to the Republican
party again, and, though the Republicans
carried the city counties by only 1900, the
country gave them 4.500. This year pre-
cisely the same thing is going on-Repub-
lican losses in the cities, Republican gains
in the country. If the Republicans lose all
their plurality of 1880 in the city counties
this year the country districts are likely
to save the State by about 5000 plurality.
I have a great deal of information from
both sides as to Indiana, and my judgment
is that Mckinley will get about 1900 plu-
rality."

Firing Big Guns.

The bigger the gun the shorter Its
life. Those monsters. the 10 ton guns,
cannot be reckoned upon 10 fire more
than 80 full charge rounds without be-
coming quite useless. The 81 ton gun
can fire 1o5 rounds. while the q inch
breechloader is good for 400 or 5a0 full
charge rounds.
The reason OF this Is that the terrific
heat and eorroding effect of the pow
der wear away the bore at the cham
Der end, and then the shell does not
catch the rlfiing.
There is nothing for 1t then but to
send the gun TO the factory and haye

tube
Eighty shots from a 10 pound gun
would be good business in any war.
Where the Inconvenience arises Is in
the fact that during peace the men

Still there Is a way out of ii to Ger
