MINISTERS KILLED
CHINESE CAPTURED BY SEY-
MOUR'S MEN MAKE THIS
ASSERTION.
Others Say That They Have Been I'M
prisoned-Admiral Seymour Was
Immense Hordes of Chinese Fa-
natics, Who Were Driven Off.

London, June 2S.-Chinese captured
by Admiral Seymour's column say that
the foreign legations in Picking were
burned. The foreign diplomatic corps
was not with Admiral Seymour's col
umn.
Seymour's men caught several Chi
nese who said the legations at Picking
had been burned and the ministers
killed. Other said that the ministers
had been imprisoned.
The fate of the members of the lega-
lions is still a mystery. If they are
alive and unframed at Picking the Chi
reese government deserves some credit,
Shanghai correspondents think, for re-
straining the fanatical mob.
Colonel Dorrward, British, command
ed the column that relieved Admiral
Seymour. American marines partici-
pated in the achievement.
The admiral was found entrencheo
and surrounded by immense masses of
Chinese, who were driven off by the
relieving column after a brisk fight.
His men had made a brilliant resist
ance, never failing in courage for fif-
teen days of continued fighting. Dur
ing ten days the men were on quarter
rations. They started with provisions
for ten days and they could have held
out a day or two longer.

RUSSIA'S FINANCIAL STRAITS.
Boxer Trouble and Death of Muravieff
Accentuates Difficulties.

London, June 2S.-A dispatch from
Moscow to the Westminster Gazette
says the Boxer troubles and the death
of Count Muravieff have greatly accen-
tuated the difficulties of the financial
situation in Russia, which is in such a
critical state as to arouse the gravest
anxiety. The black list of good firms
failing lengthens and the n of inse-
curity and fear that something worse
is to come has caused vast sums to be
temporarily withdrawn from the mar
ket. In Moscow alone within two
months, it is stated on good authority,
$40, 900, 900 roubles, most of which was
previously in currency, have been
lodged in the imperial bank, without
interest, for safety.

viii Not Prevent Erection of a Monum en-.

Richmond, va.-The Daughters of
the ConfederRcy here are very much
wrought up over the action Of Gen.
Wagner and other Grand Army of the
Republic men Of Pennsylvania, in op-
posing the erection of monument to
the 400 or more confederates buried
in Germantown cemetery near Phila-
delphia. They say they will appeal
to the secretary of war. A leading
member Of the Richmond chapter
said:
"We are determined to build the
monument All of our time and atten-
tion is now directed to work of raising
the money for the erection of a monu-
ment to President Jefferson Davis q Id
because of this fact no other work will
be undertaken until the fund for that
monument is raised. We will then
again push forward our work Of erect
ing monuments to confederate dead
buried elsewhere. The objection of
Gen. Wagner and others will not in
the least interfere with our erecting
a monument We will build it re-
gardless of what the e. A. r. people
say"

Mr.. Bryan Seconds Invitation to the HARDY
Bur ghers.
New York. - In answer to the
Worlds dispatch to William Jennings
Bryan, at Lincoln, Neb., asking his
views on the suggestion to invite the
Beers to America, he replied;.
"The Beers are Industrious and In
telligent and have shown themselves
lovers of liberty. If they lose their
fight for independence hope they
will come to the United States l
wish they could come soon enough to
help save this country from the Impe-
rialism that is driving them from
South Africa. A small part Of the
money now being expended on war
of conquest would, If spent in re-
claiming arid lands, furnish homes
for all the Beers and thousands of our
people besides. l wish there were
more of them in this country. They
would take the place of a great many
republicans who believe in the impe-
rialistic policy of England"
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1900-06-08

The uproar now was something tre-
mendous. Men by the dozen shouted
to attract the attention of the chair,
calling "vote," question. "no, "
Eyes" and "Gordon, Gordon. Be-
sides all this shouting there were
many who did nothing but add to the
din by cheering the speech OF some
delegate close to them whose remarks
were inaudable to all but those within
few feet of him. Gen. Gordon final
ly restored order and in response to the
call for his opinion, came to the front
with a smile on his face, and said:
r. trust the time will never come,
while stand on Southern ground, or
among the ohivalrous men Of the south
when Will refuse to send kindly
message to an enemy"
Then coming down to the front rail
of the platform, the general raised his
voice In emphticn areeotness, saying:
81 know the sender of this message.
On the heights of Gettysburg he stood
gallsntly in front of my lines and 1t
was my bullets that sent him to the
rear with leg off. For me am 60
ing to reciprooate the kindly message
of the Northern soldiers
Wild cheers greeted this declaration
Gen. Gordon yielded the gavel to Gen.
Cabell, of Texas, who made short ad-
dress in favor of the resolution. He
put the question in the midst of such
great confusion that his voice could
scarcely be heard. 1t was adopted with
roar Of assent.
Gen. Lyon, of Kentucky, moved
that the resolution be reconsidered, and
a motion to table came on the heels of
his original motion. Gen. Cabell call
ed for the vote on the motion to table,
which was carried by the same over
whelming majority as that in favor of
the resolution.
Gen. Lyon, in fact, was the only
man voting in the negative.
Bringing down his gavel with vic
torious thump, Gen. Cabell shouted
"The motion to reconsider Is laid on
the table, one vote being for it and
forty thousand against it.
Immediately after the vote on the
resolution an adjournment was taken
until o'clock.
The afternoon session convened at
o'clock and was for the most part
taken up with the vote for the place of
the next convention, which has already
been described. There was long de-
bate just prior to the adjournment as
to whether or not there should be pa.
rade. 1t was finally decided that nc
parade should be held, on account OF
the inclement weather, and the CON
vention then adjourned sine die.
