ESCAPED MISSIONARIES
TELL OF TERRIBLE TRIALS

London, Sept. 25.-The American
missionaries, J. Roberts. Mark Will
liams. William Sprague. Mrs. Sprague
and Miss Virginia Murdoch, who es-
capped from Kalgan, province Of Chi
Ii, China. in June, were chased across
the Cobb desert. Thence they Travelled
by way of Siberia, and have just
reached London in good health The
missionaries will proceed Immediately
to the United States. Mr.. Williams,
who has worked in China for thirty
four years. gave an interestin. story
of his experiences.
1t appears that the first assault Oh
the mission compound at Kalgan was
made during the night of June 10th,
when yelling mob attempted to bat
ter down the gate with stones. See
ing the uselessness of remaining, the
missionaries, in the course of the night,
evacuated the compound and proceeded
to the magistrates yamen. The fol-
lowing day they were ordered to leave,
the magistrate declaring that he fear
ed not only for the missionaries safety.
hut also for his own yamen if he con-
tinued TO protect them. After allow
ing the Americans to draw their
money from the native bank, the mag
istrate furnished them with fifty sol
diers as an escort through the great
gate in the wall into Mongolia.
1--WE had no idea then of the terrible
journey which awaited u.s." continued
Mr.. Williams. I'VE had no notion of
having to escape across Siberia and
only purposed to remain in some place
of safety and return after the crisis.
Wherever we attempted to stop, how
ever. the officials ordered us to leave
forthwith, declaring the Boxers were
OH our heels. Finally. reaching Mon
gol encampment at Harausa. we saw
that flight across the Cobb desert
was inevitable. Having secured a car

Our caravan consisted of twenty
camels, nineteen horses and six camel
carts. for the ladies and children.
For eight days we Travelled over
nothing but sand. The air was like
that of an oven, and the suffering was
intense. The animals had no grass
and no water, and marching in the
day time was impossible. At the few
isolated wells Mongols We're encamped
in the vicinity and they refused to al
low us to draw water, fearing we
would poison the wells.
After thirty-eight days of terrible
anxiety we reached Urga. on the other
side of the desert. we presented a sol-
~ spectacle. The Russian consul gen
eral was most kind He gave up to
us fourteen rooms in the consulate.
But, to our dismay. the consul told
us we must leave forthwith as there
We're 1000 MOngol troops in the neigh
borhood who might be hostile. He al
so told us that tens of thousands Of
Mongols We're gathering for religious
festival. and that if we valued our
safety we had better clear out without
delay
a fortnight later. August 18th. We
reached Kiakhta, and remained there
till August 9th.

Tower. United States ambassador to
Russia, obtained permission from the
authorities Mt st. Petersburg for our
journey over the Siberian railway. Ar
irving at Irkutsk September End, we
took train and reached st. Petersburg
September 18th.
1T is impossible to speak too highly
of the great kindness of the Russian
officials. Everything possible was
done for us by them even to Offering us
money. On the, Trans Siberian rail
way. though it was choked with troops
and closed to civilians, the authorities
provided reserve car for us. We
passed immense numbers of troops,
apparently cOnscripts, hastily collected.
They wore no uniforms, and some had
no guns. All of them wore straw
hats"

Marshal Campos was governor gem

Norma Diorn is a girl who lives
with her father near the headquarters
Of the Guadalupe in Texas, and has
recently been rewarded for bravery
with handsome silver-mounted re-

association. Her achievement was the
lassoing of a mountain lion and drag

act OF attacking her fathers cattle, on
the borders of the ranch. AS she had
no weapon on her person, she was

A writer in the New York Sun gives
figures to show that the problem of
procuring sufficient number of rail-
road ties causes the corporations in
creasing perpleXity. A mile Of stand
ard single-track railroad requires
about $500 ties, and the average life
Of tie Is estimated at about five
years. The annual requirement of the
Pennsylvania railroad for the part of
the system east of Pittsburg IL nearly
2.70O.OOO ties. The tie supply Of all
the railways of the country represents
an aggregate impressive at once to the
business instinct and to the magma
ton. Under the best conditions, and
making no allowance for fire and other
accidents. a plot of 1000 acres and
period of 80 years are required to pro-
duce 1000, 900 ties. Every line of rail-
road thus becomes an argument in
favor Of preserving our forests from
destruction.

The East End Fire Protection.

AS one means of affording for the
east end the fire protection that is
desired, an alderman suggests the re-
moval of the paid company located on
Twenty-sixth street up to Elm street,
VIII ere it is argued it would have the
advantage of being accessible to all
portions of the east part of town, and
thus do away with an additional COM
pany up there. The general senti-
ment among aldermen a. the present
time seems to be against the demon
alizing effect upon the entire paid
system of a volunteer company any
where in the city limits.
