PRAY WHILE FIGHTING.
Dosrs Are Exemplary Men As Well -
Good Soldiers.

The Boer army is the most interest
ing body of men l have ever seen.
There are two classes in 1.-THE old
Beers and the young Beers. The Beers
are essentially farmers, and long to
get home to their fraus and their chill
dren. The young Beers are aspiring
fellows, and have lots of fight in them
as we'll as enterprise. They are afraid
now that If England wins she will con-
fiscate their farms, or make taxes so
heavy that it will be impossible for
them to live any longer in the Trans
vaal. Many of the young Beers tell
that If England wins they will turn
their faces to America and try life out
on our western farms. They would
make fine Americans. They are the
cleanest, heartiest, most whole-souled
fellows one could anywhere meet. NO
profanity, or gambling, or question
able stories are ever known around
the Boer camp fires. and in fighting
line, or on the long trek, or in the
barrack-room, l never heard complaint
of any kind. These men are forging
on with a great destiny not far ahead.
Night and morning in the laagers is
heard the voices of psalms and hymns.
One night l heard 1000 voices thus
among the kopjes. 1t was more soul
thrilling than the "Marseillaise." They
have no idea of reprisals against their
English foes. or OF cruelty to the pris-
oners or wounded. Again and again
have seen them carefully attending
the English wounded on the battle
field and chatting in friendly tones
with their prisoners. Altogether, the
Boer soldier impresses me as man
built on a broad and generous plan. He
is religious, he is conscientious. poor
and pure and brave. There is no
bravado after victory, no whining
after a defeat. The world has not
heard the last of the Boer as farm
er, soldier, and patriot.-Peter Mac
Queen in Leslie's Weekly.

Ticn Tsin Has Been Fighting for

London, June IS, p. m.-The adj
miralty has received the following dis
patch from Rear-Admiral Bruce, dated
Taku, via Che Foo, June "a:
1.-THE total force which left TEN Tsin
with the commander-in-chief for Pc
kin was about 1000, composed of de-
tachments from the allied ships. No
action could possibly be taken to re-
lieve the commander-in-chief, because
it was only known that he was cut off
by Tien Tsin being invested
"Tien T3in has been fighting for its
life ever since. 1t was on receipt of
this information, that the Chinese
army had ordered trains for attacking
Tien Tsin; that they were ravaging
Tong-ku, and reinforcing Taku,as well
as mining the mouth of the Pei-Ho,
that it was promptly determined to
seize Taku. Since then every effort has
been made to relieve Tien Tsin. have

SALISBURY IS HOPEFUL.
The British Premier Not Inclined
to Take Too Gloomy a View
of the Crisis.
HOPES THE PROBLEM WILL Be SOLVED.
In Spite of the Alarming Reports He
Ciings to the Hope that the So
lution May be Reached without
Involving China, as n Whole, in
the Horrors Of War.

London June 25.-Lord Salisbury is
still hopeful that the Chinese crisis
will be solved without war against
that country as n whole. In spite of
the alarming reports, he inclines to the
belief that the government of China,
in some satisfactory form, will shortly
be able to reassert itself. He does not
mean that he belittles the professions
of the various vioeroys who nave
given notice of their willingness to CO.
operate with the united forces. With
out committing himself to a definite
view of the futures, he appears averse
to any scheme of territorial indemnity
which, when order is restored, might
be suggested by the powers who have
suffered during the uprising.
The interview of the United States
ambassador, Mr.. Joseph II. Choate,
with Lord Salisbury, Saturday, was
due to instructions received from Sec
rotary Hay, in which the ambassador
was notified of the friendly profess
sions of the various viceroys, and was
instructed to secure Lord Salisbury's
views beyond casual conversation. Mr..
Choate had not mentioned the crisis
in the far east until he received Secre-
tary Hays cable message. The ambas-
sador discovered the British premier's
views were exactly as frequently rep
resented in these dispatches. He main
tanned the belief that the diplomats at
Pekin had not been massacred. and
did not believe they were likely to be.
He is eminently satisfied with the ac-
ton already taken by the United
States, and expressed the same views
as the cable dispatches attribute to
Secretary Hay,
In short the conference may said to
have not elected single point on
which ! ord Salisbury differed from the
American attitude, and while he ex-
pressed his determination 10 use every
endcavor to restore ORDER in the Pei
Ho valley and extricate the diplomats,
his estimate of the situation was
tinged with a spirit of hopefulness
that cont1sted greatly with the gen.
eral tone of the British press.
The British premier did not discuss
the eventual settlement. and the like
lihood of partition of China, etc. and
it may be IT iterated that this phase of
the situation has not vet been made
the subjec: of an exchange of views be-
tween any of the nations Judging
from the account Of what passed be-
tween Mr.. Choate and Lord Salisbury,
the statement recently mpde by the
foreign office, that Great Britain and
the other nations, so far as the foreign
{ flee knew, were eonfining all their
energies and deliberations solely TO the
pre-: ent predicament, is a sincere
statement of fact. If Russia, Japan or
any other power has an Interior OBJ
ject in making capital out of the trou-
bic in China, lord Salisbury does not
appear to be aware of it..

Tartars Are the Ruling Class.

The Tartars, who overthrow the ma
tive Chinese dynasty of China in 1914,
are the ruling class in China. There
are in the neighborhood of 10000, 900
Tartars in the empire. The Chinese
pigtail" dates from the Tartar in
vasion, when the Tartars forced the
Chinese to grow cues after the Tartar
custom as a mark of subsection.
Thousands of Chinese were killed for
refusing to plat their hair. There are,
or were until recently, less than 49,
600 foreigners permanently residents
in China.

How Old Il China?

If the Chinese themselves are to
be believed, the Chinese empire has
been in existence for more than 1OO,-
900 years. Other students say that it
was founded $500 years before Christ,
and by some Fohi, supposed to be the
Noah Of the Bible, is considered the
founder. The great wall of China,
portions of which are still in evidence,
was completed 211 b. C. Printing is
said to have been known in China as
early as 202 b. C. In 1862 an earth
quake shook the empire and 100000
people were killed at Pekin alone.

Alarm for Their Snfety md for

London. June 25, 2:19 p. m.-Al-
though the powers at last seem con-
scious of the magnitude of the Chinese
peril, and are concertedly hurrying
forces to Taku, the international
troops available to overcome the inn
mediate perils of the situation are, APP
parently, totally inadequate.
Alarm UnrelieNed.
The alarm, not only for the safety of
Nice-Admiral Seymour and his party,
who are not mentioned in any of the
dispatches purporting to come from
Pekin, but for his base at Tien Tsin,
remains unrelieved. Almost the only
ray of light is the report of Sheng, the
director of railroads and telegraphs,
forwarded by the French consul gen.
eral at Shanghai, to the effect that the
legations were safe June 10, and pre-
pairing TO leave the capital with the
consent of the Chinese government.
But the motives for the Chinese Off
Gals in keeping the powers appeased
by reassuring messages is too obvious
TO allow the unreserved acceptance of
the statements.
Ticn Tsin Hard Pressed.
Tien Tsin is so hard pressed that it
must be relieved before assistance can
be sent to Seymour's force. The alb
sence of the exact dates of the last
dispatch from Taku, and other mes
sages, makes it difficult to connect the
various stories, but some of the dis
patches might be read as indicating
that even the large force mentioned
by Rear-Admiral Kempff as about to
start towards Tien Tsin has met the
same fate as the combined American
and Russian column which was re-
pulsed June 81.
Reinforce ments From India.
India is sending eight battalions of
