RUSSIAN sAvAGERY,

The advance on Pekln IS progressing
satisfactorily, even II not as rapidly
as Il was once. thought &C could be ac-
compushed. The allied forces seem TO
have captured another important point
on the road 10 the capital about is
miles from Tien Tsn. This IS not
much more than a nfth part Of the
distance. but the splendid work done
should impress the Chinese with the
irresisubuty Of the power they are OPP
posing. and induce them 20 hasten TO
sue Tor peace.
A. tho same time. there are lndlca-
tions Of serious work ahead Of the ale
lied troops before the object Of their
advance IS accomplished. They have
already lost In their operations ll30

point in great numbers II So, hard

fore the Chinese government win yield
completely 20 the pressure.
In the meantime rumors are rife that
the Russian troops have been guilty
OF many acts Of sayagery in the pres
ent campaign. American missionaries
who have arrived 10 San Francisco are
reported 10 have said that when The
Chinese officers az Taku had cap.tuatod
and offered their swords In surrender
they We're shot down by the Russians
"lika a Dot OF dogs In one village
the Russians drove the women and
children into the river and when they
attempted TO- come ashore they Were
au shot and their bodies doated away

Another account says that when the
foreigners vacated their houses in Tien
Tsin after the surrender the residences
were looted, the Russians stealing
everything they could lay hands on,
and they went around carrying the
heads OF Chinese on their bayonots
