A CHINESE WEYLER.
Ii Ping Hung Is Master of Affairs Insid g
of Pekin.

of Pekin.
Shanghai, Aug. 1.-Sheng. the CHI
nese director Of telegraphs, the only
Chinese official on the coast who is in
direct communication with the i'm
perial authorities at Pekin, tells what
happened up to Aug. l, sums up the
situation there, and tells in unmistaka-
bic words what he believes the out
come will be. The dispatches have told
how two members of the tSung!i
yamen were put to death for alleged
friendliness to the foreigners.
Sheng confirms this, gives out for
the first time the names Of the I'M
fortunate officials.
The victims of Ii Ping lungs
wrath were Hsu Ching Cheng, former
ly minister to Russia and more recent
ly imperial director general of rail-
ways, and Yuan Chang. They had
been doing good work in suppressing
the Boxers and had supported the eff
forts of Prince Ching to save the for
egn ministers and restore order in
Pekin.
For this they incurred the displeas-
ure of Ii Ping Hung, the butcher and
arch enemy of Christians, and, not
withstanding their high Office as mem
bers of the tsung-li-yamen, they were
led out on July % and beheaded as
warning to others who might seek to
befrend the besieged ministers. Prince
Ching protested. Sheng declares, but
his efforts were unavailing.
This puts new and graver aspect
on the situation in Pekin. Sheng de-
clareS Ii Ping Hung, the Chinese
Weyler, is the master there. General
Tung Fuh Slang, Sheng declares, has
10000 troops, all wild demons, in the
vicinity of Pekin. He fears that should
the allies force an entrance to Pekn
Tung Fuh Slang will compel the en-
peror and dowager empress to evacu-
ate the palace and place themselves I'M
der his protection. Then he will most
likely, murder the foreign ministers.
Unless Tung Fuh Slang is suppressed
Sheng fear that there is no hope for.
the legations. Bloody massacres will
surely result

MISS MINNIE CASEY, OF NO. 215
MONROE STREET. SENT TO PEST
HOUSE.
Another case of smallpox made its
appearance yesterday at No. 215 Mon.
roe street, when Miss Minnie Casey
was seized with the disease.
Miss Casey has been been sick for
several days, but it was not until yes
terday that the attending physician
was convinced that she had smallpox
Miss Casey was removed to the pest
house at Farnhurst last evening, and
her home has been quarantined.
At meeting of the Board Of Health
yesterday afternoon it was decided to
employ a physician, IL necessary, to
look after the smallpox cases, as some
doctors who have a large practice do
not care to attend smallpox cases un-
less they are In families of which they
are the physicians.
The board received word that an
other building Is being fitted up at the
county hospital, and when completed
twenty-five patients can be accommO-
dated. Mrs. Krautter, one of the suf-
ferers, has the disease in bad form,
and it is believed that Miss Casey con-
tracted the malady by entering her
house the day Mrs. Krautter was taken
to the hospital.
Mrs. Addie McColley, wife Of DR.. D.
II. McColley, is reported to be much
improved, and DR.. McColley now be-
lieves her out of danger.
