There was wreck of the Gulf 4

The other eight cars were up the
grade an eighth of a mile. Some OF
the G. & NJ employees were told to
90 up and let them down. The en-
ployees unlooseped the brakes too
much and the cars got away. They
went crashing into the other three
cars, and ended them across the

badly. All of the other cars were
somewhat injured.

MESSRS. EVANS AND FRENCH.

IHE GAZETTE has heard from two
of its old friends, both well-known
in Redwood county, during the past
week. They are Henry Evans, who
resided in Sundown up to the mid
die of the past year, and VIM.
French. who resided west of Red
wood Falls up to few months ago.
They are both in Alberta, North

Red Deer as his postoffice, while
Mr.. French lives about 30 miles
from him.

some of THE GAZETTE readers would

French to see what he had done
during the short time that he had
been in this country. l found him
settled in very nice part of the
country He has nice place with
plenty OF good timber for fuel and
for building purposes, the logs cut
down being as straight as could be
asked for. He has a good, warm
stable and nice little house.
On Christmas night he had the
house full of children and older
people, and nice spruce tree
served as a Christmas tree. This
was Hek loaded With Christanas|
presents for the little people. a
good old fiddler" was present and
with his violin made US think Of
olden times. Mr.. French is very
well pleased with the land and also
with the conveniences of the coun-
try He has lake on the corner of
his land that is 81 miles in length.
and the body of water is full of
pickerel and other nice fish. l had
a good feast on fish at his house and
the good old man went out and
caught couple of nice pickerel for
me to take home. There is a saw
mill at one end of the lake that saws
1O,OOO feet of lumber per day, and
only charges 81 per 1000 for work
ing up legs into lumber for pa
irons.
This uuntry looks good to the
eyes of the settler If a person
gets hungry for meat he can get all
the fish that he wants and once in
a while he can pick up deer. Last
week one man shot three of the lat
ter in one day. The pheasants are
plenty as are also the prairie chick

Inccnious Chincsc Tor,urcs.

London Mail: The Chinese have
for long been famous for the peculiar
ity and fiendishness of their tortures
There is, to begin with. the torture
of molten lead. The victim is bound
hand and foot with ropes, and a bar
Der shaves his head till it is speclsless.
Then cloth is bound tightly round
the skull while lead is being melted
under intense heat in pot. Binding
his prisoner to am upright post until
movement is impossible, the execu-
toner removes the cloth from the
skull and takes small spoon, holding
one drop of the molten lead. The ex-
posture creates Il feeling of cold, and
before this has died away the drop of
lead falls upon the barred head eating
into the flesh.
Another favorite torture acts upon
/ the mind and the palate. All the pris-
oner's food and drink is tainted with a
peculiar all-pcwading flavor. 1t is
never absent. The victim, in all prob
ability, believes that he is being slow
ly poisoned, and, moreover, the con-
stant recurrence of the flavor in every
thing he touched creates nausea. In a

tion at the foot of tree. His ankles
are secured in a species of stocks He
can see his legs as far as the ankles,
but he cannot see what goes on at the
other side of The stocks, where his feet
project. A little distance above the

beak. In that position it is starved,

CHINA MUST PAY HEAVILY.
Big Sum to Re Exacted for Every
American Killed.

Big Sum to he Exacted for Every
American Killed.
Washington, Aug 16.-A high gov
eminent official said today that the
Indemnity which the United States
would demand for every American cit
lzen killed or manned by the Chinese
during the present trouble would be
sufficient to comfortably support
their families for the remainder of
their lives.
This government does not want a
province, town, village or single
square foot of Chinese territory as In
IDENTITY" said the official, who is
,lose to the president. There is but
one indemnity which they can give
BUR people and that is monetary in
aemnity to the families of their Amer
can victims, For everyone of these
China must pay sufficient sum to
Keep their families from want during
their lives. This government will ex-
act assurances of satisfactory char
acter that such state of affairs as
now exists in China shall not again
occur. The nature of these assur-
anccs will be determined later. The
collection of the indemnity may prove
difficult, and it may be decided, al
though SO far the proposition has not
been considered, to station warships
IN the harbors of the principal cities
and officials within these cities to
watch the revenues and protect the
interests of the United States, if need
be, by taking charge of such revenues
and reserving some portion of them
to apply to the indemnity In addi-
ton to requiring assurances of the
restoration of order and strict pre-
cautions to prevent /; similar state of
affairs in the future small body of
troops may be necessary to protect
officials stationed at these ports. If
this plan should be adopted the diff
ferent allies doubtless will cooper
ute"
AN effort will be made of course
to trace the responsibility for the re-
cent outrages, but it will be a difficult
task, as there will be little DISPOSE
ton among the Chinese to tell the
truth, especially when it would impli-
cate one of their number. The Chi
nese cannot be punished indiscrimin-
ately FOR the atrocities, but wherever
such offcnse is fixed on an individual,
high or low, his punishment will be
required. If it can be shown that or
,icrs for hostilitics were issued by en-
press dowager or emperor their depo-
sition is certain and another govern
ment will be set up. If Tuan is proved
to have ordered the outrages the
severest punishment may be accorded

Latest Dispatch Not Given Out by
Stale DEPARTMENT.
Washington, Aug. 16.--At the close
of the official day at the state depart
ment the following announcement
! was bulletined:
'1he department OF state announces
that message from Minister Conge1
has been received, but of uncertain
date, aud not in reply to the telegram
sent to him on August 8. 1t Will not
be made public"
| This came at the conclusion of 4
period of intense expectancy, and yet
one devoid OF amy actual developments,
save in the foregoing announcement.
Minister Coi.gers message was re-
ceived at Washington shortly before
noon, coming first to the Chinese lega-
ton by the usual route through Chi
nese officials. 1t was in the American
cipher, without date, and signed with
the minister's name. 1t was at once
transmitted to the state department,
and conferences began between Act
ing Secretary Adee and Secretary
Root. Throughout the afternoon,
however, the state department main
corning the subject, declining to adj
init that the message was i'll its hands.
The suspense was cleared up at A
O'Clock by the foregoing announce
ment. 1t was stated authoritatively
that while the message was of con-
tidential character, and for that
reason could not and would not be
given out, yet as u means of allaying
possible misinterpretation it could be
said that the dispatch showed neither
Il better condition nor n worse condi-
ton on the part of the legationers at
Picking. 1t did not indicate whether
Mr.. Conger has or has not received
any messages from this government.
Nothing was contained i'll the message
which will cause any change in the
instructions to General Chaffee In
fact. it was stated in this same a,l-
thoritative quarter that the only addi-
tional instructions sent to General
Chatfee since he left Washington were
those of a more specific and explicit
nature, which the developments in
China and the information received
by the war department necessitated.
Throughout the day word was anx-
iously awaited from General Chatfcc
as to the development of the military
situation near Picking. but not word
came, nor did Admiral Ecmey send
anything on the situation. The last
heard from General Chaffee he was at
Ho 81 WI, and according to calcutta
tons he may now be very near Pc
king, unless events have occurred to
delay the advance. The officials are
taking into account that an advance
up to Picking leaves much to be ac-
complished in military way. 1t was
stated by an official who Has lived in
feling that nothing short of the heav-
lest artillery could make any impress
sion upon the walls of the imperial
city. He said light artillery would be
OF no avail, and for this reason the adj
vance of a flying column up to the
walls of the city could affect nothing
if stubborn resistance were deter
mined upon. The walls are some fifty
feet high, and wide enough at the
top for two coaches to pass abreast.

London, Aug. 16.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai, dated August ID, says
numerous reports from Picking, dated
August s, have arrived there, describe
ing the situation at the Chinese cap
ital. 1t appears the Chinese are des-
perately attacking the legations,
Which have very few defenders left.
1t is also alleged that Prince Tuan
and 100 high officials have left Pelsing,
and that the news of the capture of
Yang Tsun caused a heavy exodus of
the residents.
Finally, it is said that the execution
of Sheng Yin Huan, the Cantonese,
who was special ambassador of China
to Queen Victoria's jubilee, has ere
ated widespread terror, and it is be-
lieved to be fact that Yu Lu, the
former viceroy of Chi Lii, was killed
in battle at Yang Tsun.
Crls,s at Hand.
Washington, Aug. l6.--It is general
ly recognized that the campaign i'll
China is rapidly approaching criti-
cal stage. The la.est news from the
American advance, which inferential-
ly included the forces of Great Brit
ain, Japan and Russia, made 1t seem
probable that the word "peking''
might be flashed over the wires at any
moment. The international advance
guard, arguing from the progress it
| already has made, must be by this
time close to a point on the road
where China will elect to make her
last stand in defense of her capital,
unless at the last moment she chooses
the part of discretion and comes to
the terms already laid down by the
United States and taci,ly agreed to
by the other powers. Thus the Off
Gals here are momentarily expecting
one of two things, either diplomatic
backdown on the part of China, which
will mean u few days more fencing
and negotiation before an armed cs-
cort is admitted to Peking, or else
news from Chaffee that he has en-
countered strong opposition at Ching
Chat Wan or Tung Chow, two of the
largest cities between Tien Tsin and
Picking. Eeither of these develop
ments is regarded as quite possible.
