morning, seriously injuring William
jackson, engineer; Samuel Hayes,
George Hayes and Ed Liston, tiremen.
Several other workmen received slight
injuries. jackson was badly burned
and may die. Hayes was badly scald-
ed, and his son George sustained frac-
ture OF the skull. Liston was so badly
scalded he will probably lose the sight
Of one eye. At the time, the superin-
tendvnt and $50 men were in the mine,
over 500 feet below. Two of the bat
tery boilers were uninjured, and in or.
der to operate the lift with steam, the
two boilers were separated from the
debris and enough power furnished
from them to operate the lift and raise
the men to the surface. The financial
loss is not over $4,000.

They Are Organizing to Drive Foreign
ers Out OF China.


ers Out OF China.
Hong Kong, Oct. 29.-Advices from
Lien Chau. on North river, say that
American mission porperty there is
threatened with destruction by Boxers,
who have posted the following procla-
nation:
1--WE have organized to protect our
country and our homes. and we rely
upon one another to support the order
TO drive out the foreign devils. They
are mad. Their folly passes descrip-
ton. They are the usurpers of our
land. They disturb our borders. In
all the provinces and procedures chap
els have been opened, and our people
are deceived, ripped open ana dis em-
boweled. while the foreigners grow fat
ON the revenues of China, insulting our
officials and merchants and seizing our
temples and palaces. The emperor is
indulgent and permits this. Who can
foretell the intention of the foreign
devilsf Day by day they act more out
rageously. When we behold the pres
cut COuu1tluu VI dhdAArs Oui DCdIts hL0
bruised with grief. Therefore, we have
organized our strength to destroy the
devouring wolf throughout the en-
pire."
The Boxers took the American Pres
byterian mission buildings, but have
not destroyed them. The rebellion is
spreading along East river and North
river, in the province of Kwang 81.
1t is supposed to be aimed at the over
throw of the Manchu dynasty, but the
reports are SO contradictory that it is
next to impossible to form lucid inn
preston In Canton the Chinese off,
calls are taking the insurrection so
lightly that foreigners believe it will
be very difficult to suppress.

Lately their services have been con-

Posadowsky -wehner Implicated in n
SerapS.
Berlin, Oct. pa great sensation
,as been caused by the allegations
hat Count yon Posadowsky- WI Inner,
ecretary of sta te for the interior, had
cen bribed W ith II, 900 marks for his
wo. * in connection with the penal
,ervitude bill OF 1898. The allegation
is contained in letter which is going
the rounds Of the German press. The
writer asserts that Herr Krupp SUBJ
scribed 5000 marks to the fund con.
4tituting the alleged bribe. The Ma
tional Zeitungb says it expects that
Count Won Posadowsky- Wehner will
resign, and nearly all the papers con-
denim him severely.
A special addition OF the Berliner
Correspondent, which was issued by
the minister OF the interior this alter
noon, publishes statement admitting
that Director Won Woedtke. OF the i'm.
perial department OF the interior, in
duced Secretary Bueck. of the Central
Association of Manufacturers, to de-
vote 10000 marks for printing reich
stag material and other documents
tending to show arguments in favor Of
passing the anti-strike bill. This
printed material was sent to the pro-
yincial press for reproduction. The
official statement amounts to virtual
corroboration OF the press charges
brought against the ministry OF the in
terror, OF which Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner is the head.
All the evening papers comment
upon the official administration. The
entire Liberal press now demands the
resignation OF Posadowsky-W Wehner,
and Director Won Woedtke. the assump-
tion being that the latter doubtless
acted at the suggestion OF the former.
The Berliner Tageblatt says: "The
sole consequence OF the official state
ment is that both must resign" A
similar demand is made by the Vos-
siche Zeitung, which remarks: ut is
an unheard OF proceeding that govern
ment department should request and
receive large sums from one small sec
ton of population directly interested
in pending legislation for the purpose
OF influencing the nation against such
legislation"
The only papers which attempt to
defend the secretary OF state for the in
terror are the Berliner Post, the Kreuz
Zeitung and the Berliner Nachrichten,
whose justification of his course in the
matter is weakly apologetic.
