Chicago. June 27.--A special to the
Tribune from Victoria. Il. c. says:
Advices received by the Empress OF
India give graphic details of the escape
from Picking and Tien Tsin of foreign
ers. OF all the fugitives to reach the
coast none had a harder fight for their
lives than the American, French and
Belgian engineers, who were sur
rounded by the Boxers at Peng Tai. the
terminus of the railway that was to run
to Bankow.
When the Boxers attacked the sta
ton and the machine shops the engin-
GERS barricaded themselves in the mt
chine shops and held the Chinese off
for some time. They had several wo-
men with them, wives of some Of
them. These women loaded the mems
rifle belts and otherwise assisted to re-
pei the Boxers. Soon, though, the for
eigners found their position in the
shops untenable, as some of the Chi
nese had rushed them and set fire to Il
part of the building. Then they ran
for 1t, fighting their way through the
Boxers. When they had got through
more attention to them. but insOead be-
gan to pillage ana destroy the station
and machine shops. Two of the Bel
gians then hurried to Picking where
they reported the danger of the party
and called for volunteers to help them.

ed to return. being unable to fight their
way through the Boxers. The Co.'S
sacks, who numbered SO, had two Off
GERS wounded.
In the meantime the engineers were
between two forces of Boxers. There
were thirty of them. They had taken
up a position on a small hill and there
made trenches, in which they fought
for an hour, holding off the Boxers in
their front. They were all unconscious
of the party to their rear and after
their hard fighting arranged that eight
should be left in the trenches to hold
back the Boxers while the other twen-

Terrible Fighting
Through Boxer Lines

ty-two including the women and chill
dren went on towards Picking.
They had no carts and the men car
ried the weaker ones when they be-
came exhausted The march of the
fugitives to Picking was an awful one.
When some few miles from where they
had been intrenched they found an
other party of Boxers, not so strong
as the party before encountered, how
ever, to their front and the men formed
hollow square with the women and
children in the center and dragging
along fighting and repelling the on
slaughts of the Boxers. they made their
way to Picking.
The Boxers of this party were with
out firearms, being armed only with
poles shod with iron and knives and
spears. They were kept at a distance
by the rifles and revolvers of the rail-
way men, who killed number Of
them.
The eight heroes who were left be-
hind to guard their retreat were slain
by the Boxers. There were three
Frenchmen and one Italian among
them, the others being Belgians and
Swiss. The fugitives on their arrival
at Picking were in a terribly destitute
condition.
American marines led the way Of the
relief party to Picking. Despite the
Viceroy's edict that no foreigners
should be allowed to pass Taku fort,
forty United States marines landed
and made their way up the river by
lighter.
Reading the Chinese papers, one
would cdme to the conclusion that
China herself was making an effort to
suppress the Boxers rising. Referring
to the battle of June eth between the
troops under General Mich and the
Boxers one paper says that several
hundred Boxers were killed and five
conflict and the local railway station
was destroyed. This was at Lola, the
third station from Tien Tsin. Another
paper says the Boxers lost 500 men in
this engagement. General Mich, who
commanded the imperial troops took a
prominent part in the Chinese-Japan-
csc war.

President Kruger's Hat,

There would seem to be q peril
nent hint of national character in that
statue of President Kruger to be
erected in Pretoria. In the naive dis
regard of current convention there is
something that may in a measure ex-
plain the prevalence of the unex-
pected in the sterner business now IN
hand in South Africa. It has long
been the fashion to chafe at the sup
posed artistic limitations of modern
attire. trousers have been
the sculptor's bane, and the high hat
has remained beyond. The critics,
who make towards of us all, have
echoed the prejudice. Even in circles
removed from the sus-
picion OF a pale astheticism the dom
nance of high hat has been ques-
kned. It had never occurred to any
Ito attempt to give it artistic cur
Icy till "Oom Paul" suddenly stood
nth in it in all the audacity of i'm
kTishable bronze. There is touch
most of moral grandeur in this grim
difference to we'll nourished preju-
20. 1t is no ordinary man who could
Ect to face prosterity in high hat.

Three of the greatest books In the
world have narrowly escaped destruc-
ton. the "Aenead Of Virgil" the works
of Aristotle and the great body OF Jew
ish tradition represented by the "Tal-
mud" 1t Is recorded that Virgil on
his death bed sought to burn the only
copy OF the "Aeneid," as he had not
revised it, and when he was foiled IN
this he ordered his executors, Varro
and Tucca, not to give 1t to the world.
a direction which was disregarded by
order of the Emperor Augustus. The
works OF Aristotle suffered from neg
lect. They lay many years buried in
a cellar. and when, by mere accident,
they were at last unearthed, they were
40 damaged by damp and dirt that in
many passages they are hopelessly cor
rupt.. How great would have been the
loss Of this work to the human race
may be judged from the fact that
everything that was known in the mid
die ages OF the arts and sciences was
derived directly from these writings.
The "Talmud" nearly became extinct
through persecution. The possession
of the "Talmud," by long series OF
edicts. extending over many centuries,
was made penal, and the book itself
was burned. No fewer than twenty
four wagon loads OF "Talmud' manu-
script were burned in France In 1874.
