FRIeHTFUL HORRORS
ARE YET TO Be TOLD.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Mr. w. W.
Rockhill, director of the Bureau of
| American Republics, who served in
| China as secretary of legation when
the late John Russell Young was there
as Minister, and who is a recognized
| authority in Chinese matters, spoke
| feelingly tonight of the indignities
which foreigners in Picking are report
ed to have suffered after capture.
This is something new in the his
tory of China" he said. Foreigners
have never before been publicly exc
cuted, and We can only by analogy i'm
agine what has happened to foreign
women and children in Picking. We
know that in the civil wars of China
the greatest barbarity was practieed,
and it has been the knowledge of what
might be expected which has given rise
to the conquered party putting to death
its women and children before surren-
dering
No doubt the dispatch tells but a
small portion Of the horrors OF the
spectacle in Picking. 1t was only a
matter of time, any way. and what fol-
lowed was the common practice of bar
barrie and half civilized nations. Had
they been merely imprisoned their
condition would have been pitiable
enough. Anyone who has read of the
capture of and the fortunes imposed on
Lord Loeb and Sir Harry Parkes, in
1860. and who knows the Chinese pris-
ons, have not been improved in the last
forty years. can appreciate in part the
sufferings which foreign residents in
Picking must have endured in the last
month
There is little use In trying to por-
tray what iRdignisies were heapsd
upon the victims before death released
them Without question they were hor-
ribie beyond the imagination of civil
liked man. Their captors add to the
cruelty of the American Indian thu
demoniac ingenuity of a race that is
almost civilized. a race which appro-
PIRATES the arts OF white men without
approaching them The tale which
comes from Picking when entrance is
gained by foreign troops viii be one
unequaled in shudder forcing qualities
since the days OF the Sepoy rebellion .

DEATH OF MRS. JOSEPH B. BATCHELoR
She Died Suddenly Yesterday Morning o.
Heart Disease.

On the evening of June 26th last, a
large number of friends assembled at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. JOS. B. Bachelor to
assist in the celebration of their Golden
Wedding. Yesterday morning those friends
and indeed the whole community were
greatly shocked by tidings of her death
which occurred at about 1880 o'clock, o.
sudden heart failure. She had risen az
usual about { o'clock and had nearly
finished dressing, when a sinking feeling
came over her and she died in a few
minutes. Her devoted husband was with
her, and her son, Col Starke S. Batche-
Tor, reached her bedside in time to re-
ceive a sign of loving recognition before
she passed away.
Mrs. Bachelors maiden name was Mary
Cary Plummer She was the Oldest OF
ten children of William and Eliza (Armis
tead) Plummer, from whom she inherited
rare intellectual gifts, and a very attrac.
tive personality. She was born SeDtenn
Der oath, 1928, and was educated in the
schools of her native town, Warrenton;
and then on June goth, 1850 she was
married to Mr.. Bachelor, then q promis-
