THE BOXERS SOCIETY.
Returned Missionary Says They Are
Religious Fanatics and WIN BE
Hard 20 Suppress


CHICAGO. June A--Rev DR.. H. z,
Sheffield. president OF the North China
College OF the American Board OF For
eign Missions. who has been selected
by the First Congregational church to
to be its paid missionary In foreign
lands. gave lecture at the church
last night. He has been In China thirty
years, Speaking OF the present situa-
ton in that country, he said;
Il have the gravest apprehension OF
danger TO the mission stations In
Northern China. The Boxers are not
upheld openly by the government, but
secretly,
The Boxers are also known as the
Society OF the Great Knife They are
banded together for the preservation
Of conservatism. They are religious
fanatics, claiming that spirits urge
them on, and that they are immuned
from death or injury as long as they
remain loyal to the silent voices. At
first they attacked the native churches
belonging TO the Roman Catholic Mis-.
sions. but soon began to wage war on
the Protestant churches and missions
as well.
They have destroyed 700 houses be-
longing to the Roman Catholics and
500 belonging to the Protestant denomi-
nations. They are adding to their
numbers and 1t win take the most
strenuous efforts on the part Of the
Chinese government to suppress them.
Il am glad that the marines were
landed, but they will find their time oc-
cupied in protecting the cities alone.
Foreign Intervention will result In the
overthrow Of the present government"

ANOTHER DEATH FROM PLAGUE.
San Francisco No Longer Tries to Con-
ceal the Presence of the Dread
Disease in That City.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Health
Officer o'Brien and Bacteriologist Kel-
logg have reported that the case Of a
Chinese, who died on Saturday after
one days illness. was undoubtedly one
Of bubonic plague.
At the time Of the autopsy the body
was already beginning to turn black.
Certain glands had been removed from
the body, it is said. by physicians en-
gagged by the Chinese. The health Off
Ger has been instructed to quarantine
the persons and laboratories of these
doctors.
Temporary quarters will be estab-
lished on Angel island, sufficiently
large to accommodate 5000 Chinese.
The passage Of street cars through
Chinatown is to be stopped, and all
permits to pass through the quarantine
lines are to be revoked.

"The presence OF ample cavalry and
artillery"
Brigadi ar General A. W. Greely, chief
signal officer. made this statement re-
garding conclusions he mad drawn as
a result of the war:
'The South African war will do more
to preserve peace during the next 20
years than the Hague conference or
anything of that character. The tre-
mendous efficiency of modern arms Of
precision, using smokless powder on
ground specially suited for defense,
has been made apparent by this war
that every military student has learned
the almost impossibility of capturing
any difficult position, especially by
frontal attack.
Although the individual Boer is
man Of great bravery. resourcefulness
and possessing soldierly qualities ge-
orally. yet it is to be remarked that
the Transvaal army has not captured
a single position during the entire war.
On the other hand the British army
has found ii almost impossible to cap
ture any position. but has won its way
by outfianking the Boer positions and
rendering retreat imperative"
The British empire now has 255,OOO
soldiers in South Africa and, according
to Captain Reichman, the Transvaal
force has not at any time averaged
more than 5000 men.
AS showing the insiginfcance in
numbers Of the Boer troops and the
failure of the British to properly
scout, Captain Reichman, in one Of his
reports, states that he was with mere
handful of Transvaalers occupying a
position when a strong detachment Of
the British advanced against it. The
Beers opened fire and the British after
weakly returning it. awaited further
endorsements, evidently being de-
ceived as to the strength Of their enc
my.
A report received at the war depart
ment. dated in April, shows that the
British then had total of 55,046 horses
and 164 machine guns, and 455 guns
Of all calibre. When Buffers troops
were advancing to the rescue Of Lady
smith. the Beers. supplied with one
pounder Maxims, greatly demoralized
the British. When General Buffers
force obtained Maxims and opened fire
on the Beers, the whole Boer line,
which had been silent except for a
few sniping shots, opened fire, show
ing. according to department officials
that, like the British, they were de-
moralized by the fire Of the guns dis
charging several hundred projectiles
per minute.
The Beers, in anticipation Of the war,
were supplied with the latest Mausers,
of German manufacture and the latest
Krupp and Creusot artillery. The lat
ter is mostly made up Of siege guns
which, however, are capable Of being
promptly transported and placed in po-
sition at points which it is desired to
defend. These guns have a range Of
six thousand yards, while -Geenral
Whites forces had weapons, with the
exception Of the naval brigades, with
a range of only four thousand yards.
The value of this additional range
was especially demonstrated, and one
Of the results of the war is the prac-
tical rearmament of the British bat
teries. The operations, according to
army officers, emphasized above every

LONDON MONEY MARKET.
Loan Rates Continue Low and Dis

Loan Rates Continue Low and Dis
counts Are Forced to Follow.
NEW YORK, June 4.-The Times
London financial cablegram says:
The ebb tide in the British money
market looks as though 1t may not yet
be quite at its ebb. Throughout the
week Just passed a quiet struggle went
on between those who held bills and
those who held money. as to whether
the discount rate should be main
tanned at above 21s per cent or go be-
low It. Thus far money wins.
Occasionally 9-16 per cent has been
quoted, but the rate has been 29s per
cent as a minimum for bills up to
three months. But short loans con-
tinue cheap. Seven day advances have
not risen above two per cent at any
time.
Should money keep thus cheap, dis
count rates will sink further and will
not be pulled up again until foreign
exchanges relapse to points threaten
ing to our stock Of gold.
The stock markets last week were all
"Kaffrs." Whitsuntide has interrupt
ed the speculation, but If no bad news
comes meanwhile from South Africa,
an enormous development Of active
gambling may be looked for, not only
in these mining and land shares, but
elsewhere.
