Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls

Escape BY SNIP,


New York, July 26.--The American
Bible society has received a letter from
fits agent in China, Rev. John r.
Hickes, D. D., dated Shanghai, June 2s,
in which he says
Mrs. Cannon and her little girl
have arrived from Tien Tsin They es-
capped with their summer clothing and
nothing else. A Tonku they went on
board of the merchant steamer Lien
shing. That night the forts at the
mouth CT the river opened fire on the
allied fleets. The Lienshing was in the
line of fire and those on board of her
had terrible experience. The ship
was attacked by the soldiers, who at
tempted to loot her. 1t soon became so
dangerous that the captain was obliged
to leave the wharf and put out to sea-
although he was anxious to remain as
long as possible in the hope that more
refugees might arrive. Mr.. Cannon
remained in Tien Tsin to help defend
the women and children who were una
Bile to get away. I have no doubt that
our bookstore was burned with the
property of the American Board, as it
was only two doors from their chapel
| am afraid our depot in Tien Tsin has
been destroyed. We had large stock
of books at both places. 1 shall advise
you of our loss as soon as I know.
THE widest rumors are in circula-
ton here, and many nervous people are
going to Japan and America. There Is
a report that Kang VI, the VIGOROUSLY
anti-foreign henchman of the empress
dowager, is appointed viceroy of the
TWO Kiang provinces in place of the
friendly Lieu Kwen vi, who is remov-
ed. l cannot credit it, but this has
greatly alarmed some people. Almost
every able bodied man here has enlist
ed in one of the companies organized
for the defense Of the settlement in
case of disturbance. I am too old to be
of any service in regular company,
but l felt it my duty to join the gem
eral service company, which will look
after the safety of the women and chf-
dren, escort supplies to the front and
care for the wounded. This morning |
was notified that l had been appointed
district superintendent for the Ameri-
can settlement, and that / would have
charge of all of the men in that dis
trict. I do not anticipate that we shall
De called upon 10 90 any SOluleTlng, out
it seems to me that it is the duty of
every man to do his part for the preser-
walton of order in Shanghai"
The Rev. Dr. j. F. Dodd of the Meth
odist Episcopal Missionary society to-
day received the following cable from
Sharppeak:
"Hinghua quiet. Ladies, children,
Sharppeak."
This message was sent by the Rev.
w N. TT. Brewster, superintendent of
the mission at Hinghua. Hinghua is
some distance southwest of Flu Chow,
and Sharppeak is still further south
Sharppeak is said to be a summer re-
sort. 1t is inferred from the message
that Mr.. Brewster had gone over there
to look after the women and children,
but that the men were still at Hinghua,
where there was no danger Mr.. Brew
ster was recently instructed by cable
to cable the present location of mis-
sionaries. There are only half dozen
located at Hinghua.

TROUTING FROM A CORACLE.
That Queer Irish Hides-Boat on a
Lonely Tough.


| The mellowest -tongued, bluest-eyed
of Irish gillies was holding my boat

loughside to try my luck among the
big trout for the first time this season.
And such a boat it was, I had often

with couple of strangely narrow
seats you have a reasonably good idea
of the vessel Patrick had provided for
me, and now extoled as we stood to-
gether by it with all the blarney his
nimble tongue was capable OF. There
was the glorious expanse of water lying
under the early morning sun like q
sheet of FURNISHED metal amid the set
ting Of the purple hills; its surface
frosted here and there with a charm
ing little breeze, and all along its mar
gins the bristling spears of last years

GERMAN VIEU or SITUATION.
United States Charged with Being De-
CnIYeO INV the Ghineae.


Berlin, July 26-The German foreign
office, which has received no additional
news from China to-day, points out
that the conditions for mediation de-
manded by President Mckinley pub
lished in Berlin this morning place the
United States in substantially the same
position as Germany and France New
ertheless the German press continues
to assert that the Washington govern
ment is trying to part company with
the powers. The Freissinge Zeitung re-
marks:
"All the powers with one exception
refuse to be deceived longer by Chinese
double dealing, That exception is the
United States which has formally aban-
doned the concert Of the powers"
Another circumstance which has
made a bad impression here Is the re-
fusal of the American and British ad-
mirals to vote to give Russia control
over the railroad to Tien Tsin.
The Beriner Tageblatt says that this
refusal is a proof Of dissension among
the powers and can only encourage the
Chinese. The Kreuz Zeitung, which re-
peats it's pessimistic views concerning
the harmonious action of the powers,
asserts that the political difficulties in
the way of a united advance upon Pc
kin are even greater than the military
difficulties and it declares; that the ac-
ton of the American and British adj
mirals in the railway matter has
driven a wedge not to be under-esti-
mated into the entire campaign Of VEN
geance.'
The VoWaerts contrasts President
McKinley's answer to the Chinese
note with Count Won Buelows, prais-
ing President McKinley's as a master
piece and saying: The American
president plays upon Chnas sympathy
without in the slightest degree com
hitting herself. While he states GER
tain conditions clearly and energetical-
ly he avoids every threat and all rude
rafting of the sabre"
Count Won Buelow before going to
Bremerhaven had an interview with
the Russian ambassador and subse-
quently with the American. On the
following day he conferred with the
ambassadors of Austria Hungary,
France, Italy and Great Britain. 1t is
understood that the Chinese situation
was discussed.
The National Zeitung argues strong
ly against the assumption that the pro-
hibition of the expectation of arms to
China would leave China without arms,
pointing out that there are arms and
ammunition factories at Foo Chow,
Shanghai, Marking, Hanyang and Tien
Tsin.

SITUATION GROWING WORSE

Continued from First Page)
modest How does it come to pass that
any of us can so far forget himself as
to become the proselyte of barbarian
religion. Tens of thousands of native
converts have been killed in North Chi
ma and their houses and possessions de-
stroyed. Because Of this all the world
has sent soldiers to Tien NTsln
| to protect the converts. This they have
failed to do. The mission churches, the
foreign consuls and all the barbarian
troops have been slaughtered just as
you kill chickens and dogs.
you converts have involved the bar
barians In this calamity. We look upon
you as rebels; and soon your doom viii
overtake you. Unhappy is your condi-
ton for all men hate and despise you.
Great is your distress. Your hands hang
! helplessly by your sides, Despair has
seized your minds Death alone will re-
lieve you. BY following the doctrines
of these renegades and foreigners you
have forfeited your rights as men. We
warn you at once to fly TO safe hiding
places while yet there is opportunity"
There is an unconfitmed report that
sixty Protestants and Catholic mission
aries has been massacred at ri Yuan
Flu ard TIE vicinity, The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Mail describing
the massacre at Mulden says:
'The bishop has armed 200 converts
to defend the Cathedral and a body of
Chinese troops had been sent to defend
the converts, but the soldiers were
leagued with the Boxers. While the
Christians We're holding a service, be-
lieving themselves safe under the pro-
lection of the troops, the signal was
given and soldiers and Boxers surround
ed and set fire to the CHI rch, putting the
escaping worshippers to the sword. The
bishop was captured and taken to the
viceroy's yamen, where he was diaboli-
cally tortured and decapitated. His
head now hangs in front of the va
men"
Hong Kong, July 26,-The signs of
menacing activity on the part Of the
secret society known as the Triads are
causing alarm. The Boxers are beiev-
ed to be an offshoot of the Triads,
whose ramiflcations are widespread
throughout the southern provinces of
China. The organization is distinctly
antf-foreign and anti Manchu, and
numbers of Canton troops are enrolled
in it's ranks
