TORTURED BY BOXERS.
The Terrible Fate OF One Of the First
Victims

The Terrible Fate OF One Of the First
Victims.
San Francisco. July 21.--A Chroni-
Gle special from Victoria, B. c., says:
Adyices received from North China
contain particulars Of the awful torture
inflicted on the Rev. III. v. Norman,
who, with Rev. G. Robinson, was
among the first Of the American mis-
sionaries to become victims OF the Box
ers. A correspondent writing from
Tien Tsin on July Z, says some refugees
who had arrived there gathered from
Chinese ghastly details OF the torture
inflicted on Norman.
IL seems that he fell into the hands
Of Ii. the head man of little town
hard by the little Anglican mission,
where he and Robinson had their head
quarters. In quarrel between Boxers
and Christians, the converts had driven
Of the Boxers from the mission and Ii
vowed vengeance. This he took in 3
horrible manner when Norman was
thrown into his hands.
After his capture by the rioters,
from whom Ii took the captive, the
missionary was stripped by the retinue
OF Ii and collar OF iron fastened TO
his neck. A short chain was attached
and he was tethered to stake. The
Chinese men, women and children then
poked sharp sticks into his flesh and
jabbed him with tridents. When he
sank down. weak with the loss OF blood
and half crazed by the awful torture,
and was unable to get upon his knees
even. the chain being too short, he
strangled slowly. Molten lead was
then thrown on his nude body and as
he writhed in agony, he was stabbed
to death. His boly was cut to pieces.
Robinson. the other missionary. was
slaughtered without being so long in
agony. He was cut down by a mob
and hacked to peces almost instantly.
A number of the mission converts were
slaughtered. Some were asked to re
cant and those who did 50 to save their
lives were saddled and bridled and
forced TO crawl to the temple idols.

SHIP CUT IN TWAIN
Cuhard Liner Campania Col.
lided With a Bark.
THE sAILER SANK IMMEDIATELY
eleven of Her Crew Were Drowned
Campsnls Not Much
Damaged.

London, July PA dense fog hung
bver the Irish channel yesterday morn
ing, and the CunaId line steamer Cam
pania, en- route from New York Tor
Liverpool, struck the Liverpool bark
Enbleton, bound for New Zealand,
amidships, cutting her in twain. The
Embleton sank Immediately. Seven OF
the crew were rescued, but it is be
lieved the other IL members OF the
ships company, including the captain,
were drowned. The Campania had
her bows stove in. but arrived safely at
Liverpool, FIVE and half hours late.
The Campania had a narrow escape
from serious disaster. The fog had
delayed her passage since Friday noon,
and tender went out from Queens
town four miles, as Captain Walker
would not take the liner near shore.
At Tuskar light, the fog was becoming
6enser every moment. When the Cam
pania was about 30 miles northeast OF
the light phantom ship rose suddenly,
without warning. directly across her
bows. Thirty seconds later the phan
tom had become a solid sailing vessel,
into which the liner crashed, her steel
forefoot going through the Embleton
like the clean cut OF sword, and
dividing her just abaft the mainmast.
The forward half sank instantly. The
stern swuDg viciously round, and the
mast and yards for moment tore at
the Campania. A lump Of wreckage
came down on her decks. Then the
stern Of the bark also disappeared, and
the face OF the sea was Uttered with
splintered tim bers, boxes, barrels, the
upper works and lighter cargo, the deck
houses and such things. Then there
was nothing.
From the instant when the phantom
came into view from the bridge of the
Campania until the last yestige of the
vessel vanished some so or so seconds
had elapsed.
According to the Embleton's suryiv-
ors, for nearly half an hour before the
collision, the captain and first officer
were below at breakfast. and, although
the fog whistle of large steamer could
be heard every minute, the bark never
shifted her course. the helmsman re.
ceiying no order. When, at 8:25 A.
NJ, the second officer, to use his own
phrase, "heard the rush of steamers
bows" he shouted down 70 the captain,
who rushed on deck, but he was too
late to give an order.
The Capmania was under one-third
steam. The captain, first officer and
pilot were on the bridge. The engine 8
were instantly reversed. and the helm
put hard down. No precaution was
omitted. Some OF her passengers had
even grumbled ut what they called
superfluous caution. After the crash
and the sudden cries, the boats were
quickly gotten ont. There were no
signs of panic; the crew was every
where at their stations; the bulkheads
were closed and everything possible
was done to save life.
Some OF the Campania's plates were
bent by the collision; her forepesk
filed with water; her foretopmast was
broken short of and her steel rigging
i torn and twisted.
The passengers held a meeting, adopt
ed resolutions OF thanks to the captain
and crew, and subscribed e700 for the
relief OF the survivors and the families

DE1IOCRATIC TICKET.
FRUITS IMPERIALISM.

1t is a common thing to read in the
daily press the narrowing details of
the arrival Of transports at San Fran
cisco bringing back the dead, sick
disabled and insane soldiers from the
Philippine islands and China har-
vest of blood.
Aside from the immense expenditure
Of money, this loss Of good American
lives is something appalling and con-
dennis the Mckinley policy. American
taxpayers must foot the bill, as far as
money is concerned, and American
hearts and homes make the sacrifice Of
sens and brothers whose loss cannot
be computed, and for which there can
be no compensation.
All this waste is a sacrifice on the
altar of the Moloch Of greed Of which
William Mckinley stands as the high
priest and sponsor. He is entirely
and solely responsible for the sIaught-
CT Of American soldiers aud the whole
sale killing Of the people of the islands
whose sole fault is the love of liberty,
aspirations stimulated by the example
Of self-government in these United
States, and hatred of despotism.
Sad picture to present to the world
in this I'm de sicle, this .dawning Of the
10th century.
It has been claimed by orators in
congress and on the stump that Mr..
Mckinley has under God a commits
sion for this course Of empire-this
crime against humanity. It is bias
phemousI The court Of heaven is
open, the judge sits upon the throne
and the herald calls to answer the
horrible indictment: aye have killed
the innocent and caused your child
rem 70 pass through the fire to Moloeh.
Come 70 judgmentI' If the American
people only have the virtue Of their
fOrefathers the verdict at the polls in
November viii be the doom Of despot-
ism and q renaissance Of patriotism,
pity and piety-tears for the thousands
dead-hOpe for the nation.

the farmers relieved. There we're some /
inequalities, Of course, IN the case Of
those who had already paid their taxes,
which could not we'll be avoided under
the circumstances. The measure was
one OF general relief and was beneficial /
Nov as to the Mckinley |
lands: These lands had been thrown
back on the loan company by fore
closures or deeds by original owners
who had mortgaged and then aband-
oned them. The MISUNDERSTANDING
company represented that they we're
heavily loaded and financially embar-
raised by the ownership Of these unre-
munsrative lands, and If they had to
pay the full amount OF taxes, penalties
and interest that they would not be
able to mold them, but would let them
90 for taxes.
After due consideration Of the mat
ter and advice on the subject, the
board concluded that it was better to
make the rebate and get the money
than to have the county loaded up
with the lands, as the county would
have to bid them in if not bought for
the full amount Of taxes at the sherif's
sale. This action was also advised by
the county attorney as being lawful,
and was supported by R. J. Jones, re-
publican treasurer, now a candidate
for representative on the republican
ticket. This was not a pet measure Of
any party, but an action approved by
almost everyone who knew the facts in
the case.
Tenants next assault is as follows:
There used to be a fence around the fair
ground. It's gone now. If We recOllect right,
/ it was three wires around 40 acres and must
have cost $40 to build it. 1t is not there now.
1t belonged to Sherman county.
/ This is easily answered. Some Of the
wire and posts Of the fair ground fence
I had been stolen aud the remainder was
in dilapidated condition. It was ad-
Yertised and sold to the highest bidder,
and q reasonable price was received
for the same.
Here is the next OUtpOUring Of the
News mud machine:
When County Commissioner Fred Dawson
was asked 70 let the coal dealers Of GOOdland
bid on the coal used at the court house, why
was 1t not dOne7
H. F. WheatIey asked Commissioner
Dawson, "Why not let the county coal
contract to the lowest bidder" Mr..
Dawson replied: THAT is all right, and
as far as I am concerned the lowest
bidder will get it."
When this matter came before the
board Mr.. Whestley did not put in an
appearance nor present a bid. This is
the fact in the case. The county paid
no more for coal than other consumers,
and there was no "job" in the matter,
and the News inuendo is Of the nature
Of 8 viIlainOus libel.
We do not believe that the people of
this county justify these scurriIOus
and eowardly attacks Of Tenant. He
hopes to get the county printing, and
thinks that by these methods he viii
succeed in defeating Mr.. Dawson for
commissioner.
The reason for not replying sooner
to Tenants assaults is because Ten
nant is well known to be thoroughly
mercenary in every motive and the
case was: "Give the devil rope and he
will hang himself"
