Powers to Decide.


of the Chinese viceroys is in effect re-
quest that the Chinese sovereigns shall not
be made prisoners of war. 1t is said that
the powers are authorized under the rules
and provisions Of international law to ac-
cede to this request or not as they deem
its granting is dependent entirely upon
what the powers may consider best for
tEeir own interests.
1t is an established principle of inter
national law that members of the enemy's
royal family, his chief ministers of state
and his chief diplomatic agents me liable
to capture, even though they may not be-
actually engaged i'll hostile operations.
Their position makes them so important to
the enemy in the conduct of his war hat
they can not be treated as ordinary ncn-
ccmbatants
in tne present case there is a we'll
grounded belief that the sovereigns, es-
pecially the empress dowager, have been
instrumental in directing hostile move
ments, and Minister Conger's adyices have
stated that the imperial forces were be-
aiegng the legations.
Earl Ii Hung Chang has signifed his
intentions OF leaving Shanghai for Pekin
as soon as he receives the reply Of the pow
els TO mis- request yesterday for peace.
On the Way to Sian Flu.
London, Aug. 22.-Diyers paragraphs as
to the movements of the Chinese imperial
family continue to be received at the
treaty ports and are thence faithfully
transmitted to the European capitals.
Those representing the court as having
le., Pekin are of exclusive Chinese origin.
According to them their majesties ase
well on their way to Sian Flu about 100
miles inland. Fighting was going on at
Pekin Saturday, according to ore report,
but according to a dispatch received by
the admiralty from Rear Admiral Bruce
the allies entered the sacred cIty OF Pekin
Friday.
If the Chinese government Is at Sian Flu
there is no means Of getting at them, ac-
cording to military men, without pro-
lCnged campaign and with an army as
large as LoIu 4toDerts TO secure the basis
of communication. Advices from the pro-
vincial capitals show ,-.ao the attitude of
the southern mandarins has been friendly
since the allies reached Pellin. Some OF
the magistrates have been issuing procla-
nations commanding the Chinese to at
tend to business and to avoid sedition, and
that the invasion OF the
foreigners is justified.
Governor of Shan TuDg Dead.

Allies Stin Fighting.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-The japanese
legation has received several important
Glspatcnes. One received from Toxic,

After entry to Pelin was effected by
the allied troops the Chinese troops on
August Is betook themselves to and re-
manned in the imperial palace. a body OF
japanese troops was tolled off to guard
the palace, and there they met with OBJ
stinate resistance by the Chinese troops.
Fighting is still going on, The headquar-
ters of the japanese army is in the Legal
ton and the division is mainly quartered
in the villages outside of An Ting Man"
Another telegram, dated the 10Th, gives
the report of the japanese consul general
at Shanghai, saying Sheng credits the re-
port that the empress dowager and prob
ably the emperor also had left Pekin, as
the privy council crossed Luken bridge
on the 10Th bearing the banner of the I'M
perial cortege. Also that Prince Ching is
still in Pekin, although Prince Juan has
followed the empress doWager.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Isaac Walk cf st. Albans was run over
by the south bound express Friday evening
and later died from his injuries at the
Heaton hospital.
The lad was but thirteen years of age and
was employed as d newsboy by Chisholm
Brothers of st. Albans. He was making
his usual run on the south bound train due
at the Junction at 6 P. NJ.
The train had stopped in the bridge as
usual that the switch might be set 80 as to
draw up clear Of the north bound train, the
two meeting at the Junction With his
usual enterprise, the young lad left the
train and ran on ahead ia order to gain ex-
ira time in which to sell his papers to the
crowd on the platform.
He had passed the crossing ahead of the
train when he went back in answer to a
call from a lady who wished TO purchase
paper. When the sale was made he turned
to cross again not noticing that by this
time the train was under way and right
upon him.
The crowd on the platform saw the sit
uation and were powerless to aid the lad
although they sent out cries of warning.
AS the little fellow turned the steam chest
on the engine struck him throwing him
around and under the drivers which passed
over both of his legs crushing the left off
close to the body and mangling the right
and ankle.
The engineman stopped his train as
quickly as possible and willing hands gath
cred up the mangled body and placed il
upon mail sack in the baggage car where
DR.. G. #. Camp Of Barre who was on board
did all that could be done in the absence of
appliances and conveniences to stop the
flow Of blood.
The piteous cries of the lad, who suf-
fered excruciating pain, were heartrending
and many men and women were obliged TO
turn away.
Roakes & Driscoll were notified to have
their ambulance at the station here to con-
vey the lad to the hospital, but many val
liable moments were lost by the transfer.
ing OF baggage and the shifting of cars be-
fore the final run was made to this city,
the boy losing much blood but never losing
consciousness.
He was taken to the hospital and Drs.
Chandler, Mcclure, Bisbee and Lindsay did
everything possible to relieve his sufferings
but death came about 10 PM. The remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms of
Roakess & Driscoll where they were made
ready for burial
The lads father, M. 8. Walk of st. AL
bans, peddler and reliable citizen, was
notified and arrived on the midnight train.
The boys mother is dead. The remains
will be taken to Burlington this evening for
burial. The little fellow was popular with
passengers and trainmen along his run and
his sad fate will be greatly deplored by all
who knew him.

ISABELLE RELEASED

M. M. Isabelle of Concord, N. H., who
was arrested for completely in the crooke ed
transactions Of Mrs. Ella j. Bagley at Bur
lington, was released from custody on Fri.
day. His case was to have been brought
before the Chittenden county grand jury
now in session, but the States Attorney was
unable to find any discriminating evidence
against Isabelle. Prior to his discharge,
Henry Ballard, his counsel, received a
letter from Concord, N. H., signed by the
mayor of Concord, the secretary of State
OF New Hampshire, the labor commissions
er, adjutant general, city clerk, judge OF
probate, lawyers olergymen and druggists
of Concord. 1t reads as follows: I'VE,
the undersigned, have been acquainted
with Medor M. Isabelle for many years. He
has always lived in Concord, N. H., and
has borne a good reputation; has always
been industrious and paid his bills, and we
feel there must be some mistake with ref.
erence to his connection with the larceny
OF the bank book, as stated in the daily
press. We trust that some satisfactory
arrangement can be made whereby he can
be released from his present trouble"

In 1884 the New Hampshire Conference +,
which included what is now the Vermont
Conference, established Methodist school
at Newbury, known as Newbury Seminary.
1t was one of the best schools in New En-

reunion and take part in the exercises. 1t
promises to be pleasant event The
institution was removed to Montpelier in
the fall OF 1868, and is now known as Mont

excursion was made to Newbury and the
exercises were held in the old school build
ing.

against o, Il. Collins and b. III. Lowell,
commenced Monday afternoon, took
the time of Washington County court Tues
day. 1t will probably take all day We'd

ton on Tuesday for continuance of two

the defunct Burlington brokers, against
that firm. The motion was opposed by j.
w. Gordon, counsel for plaintiffs. The

Claims aggregsting $4,000 are involved
ance was based on the fact that similar
cases are in the hands of Judge Wheeler OF
the federal court, awaiting his decision on
certain points.
