He Has Nothing to Live For but to

Gen. Dewet has informed prominent
.itizen Of Bloemfontein that he intends

10 continue to oppose the invaders Of his
country. His sons have been killed in

The siege of Ladybrand has been rails
I'd after several desperate attempts to
capture the town and its little garrison
IF $50 British troops. The Beers who
attacked Ladybrand are estimated to
have numbered over 1000 men. The
British were summoned to surrender, but
refused, and from that time on were sub
iected to continual cannon and rife fire.
The burghers twice tried to rush the
British position. Probably the approach
of a relief force saved the little garrison.
A dispatch from London says that the
war office received a dispatch from Lord
Roberts giving an account of slight en-
gagement north of Pretoria. in which the
Beers were driven off, losing hundred
rifles and a large supply of ammunition
ana a few prisoners. About the same
time a party of Beers made an unsuccess
fui attack on the johannesburg water
works. More serious fighting took place
on Monday in the mountain passes near
Gutenberg. where Gen. Butler was fight
ing Botha all day. The burghers were
about 1000 strong. with several guns
and they seem TO have held the British
in check. since the position was not car

does not mean that the war has ended.
1t means that hereafter the Beers, who

regarded as rebels against British au-

advised by his physician as early as last
June to rest and 30 attended the Demo
cratic national convention in July against
the advice of his doctor. He appeared to
have suffered no i'll effects from the Jour

fatal stroke seized him. The unconscious

Arthur Sewall, shipbuilder and ship
owner, Democratic candidate of 1896 for
the presidency, was born in Bath,
Me-, Nov. %, 1885. He was the son of
William d. Sewall who in 1923, began in
Bath the business Of shipbuilding. The
family was noted in New England for
several generations. OF this family was
Judge Samuel Sewall, conspicuous in the
early annals of Boston. Through large
part of this century the firm at Bath
were the chief constructors of the ''mer-
chant marine" in this country.

ouTRAeEs ~ CIVILIZATION.
Horrible Orgies of Plumber and s1augh.

Horrible Orgies of Plumber and S1augh-
ter by Soldiers in China.
The story told By the Associated Press
of the scenes enacted by some of the for
eign troops on the road between Tien-tsin
and Pekin is not only shocking n its de-
tails but disgrace TO Western civiiiza-
ton. The worst outrages charged against
the Boxers are mild in comparison with
the enormities practiced by the Russian
and French soldiers, who were left unre-
strained to loot and slaughter unoffending
natives at will. 1t is to the credit of the
Germans. English, Japanese and Ameri-
cans that they behaved themselves with
some regard to discipline and humanity
and that the officers of the last two ex-
erted themselves successfully to protect
property and life.
1t was not so. however, with the Rus
slams ard French, according TO the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent. They en-
gagged IN an orgy of plumber and slaugh-
fer and left behind them wake of de-
yastation in the Pei-Io valley. The
homes of the people and their food pro-
ducts were ruthiessly destroyed. The
shops were looted, and what could not be
carried away was tra1npled under foot
and smashed. Villages We're burned. The
inhuman Cossacks butchered inoffensive
men. women and children for sport. Ma
tives tryins to get back to their homes
and farmers working in their fields were
used as targets by these wretches. The
dispatch says: The Cossaeks would pick
up children barely old enough to walk,
hold them by the ankles, and beat their
brains out on the sidewalks. The Ameri-
can officers at Taku, days after the fight
ing was finished, saw Russians ba-onet
children and throw old men into r.: #riv-
or, clubbing them to death when they
tried to swim. The Russians killed wom-
en- who knelt before them and begged
for mercy. Coolies were killed while
trotting along the roads with their loads
and farmers when trying to gather in
their grain. And the Russian officers
looked on without protest or making any
efforts to restrain their soldiers
Throughout the campaign the japanese
were kept under the best control of ali
the invading forces, but even so, a CORE
spondent who returned from Pelzin to
Tung-Chow to find the latter city strip
ped like a cornfeld after plague of
grasshoppers, reports: Parties Of sol
diers of every nationality were roaming
about unrestricted and, presumably,
We're doing much wanton destruction in
the spirit of deYiltry." There was, in
fact, contagion and ecstasy Of brutal
ity among those martial spirits, a de-
grading license, such as are too often an
incident of war.
We read again: Robbery and murder
are SO common that every respectable
person one meets contributes stories from
personal observation. Burning and pill
lage were the rule everywhere in city,
town and country, and in all this revolt
ing orgy the Russians led the revel."

TORTURED AND SLAIN.

jected to Revolving Atrocities.
Newspaper correspondents at Shanghai
have learned from official sources the
facts of the killing By Chinese Of several
American women missionaries. At the
request of the mission board the details
We're withheld out OF regard for the feei-
lngs of the relatives of the murdered
women. but other prominent Americans,
who have long antagonized the policy of
sending women to isolated ialund pests,
think it important that the Facts should
be known. The names of the victims are
withheld by request.
Two young American women caught
leaving their posts TO make their escape
to the coast were stripped and led about
the country, subject TO insult from pass
ing bands of soldiers. After being inhu-
namely mistreated they were killed in
manner too revolving to be described.
Two other women making their way to
the coast with party which was pur-
sued by the natives fell exhausted by the
wayside. They we're picked up and tax
en- before local magistrate, who ordered
their execution. They were Frustrated
on the block and a feint made at hehead-
ing them. One of the women, hysterical
with fear, burst into laughter. She was
thought insane and, as the Chinese have
superstition regarding the insane, the
execution was stopped. The woman was
escorted TO the coast but horribly abused
on the way there. Her companion. after
being led about the country in a shame
full way. was killed in the revolving man
ner employed in the previous case.
A Spanish priest who escaped from
Chuchua, province of Che-kiang, tells of
the massacre of four English mission
aries, including six women and four chill
dren. The magistrates bodyguard impal-
ed them on forks and spears and left
them hanging naked from the trees.

MOVE TOWARD PEACE
RuSSO-AMERiCAN COMPACT Is
EFFECTED.
President and the Gar Stand Together
and Oppose Powers Proposition to
Restrain Lii Hung-Chang-R Report of
Big Japanese Victory.


A Washington dispatch on Thursday
declared that the United States and Rus
STA have formed a compact for the set
tlement Of the existing Chinese question.
Ibis compact was concluded at the sec
ond meeting of the cabinet, which lasted
from 3 till $50 p, N. Wednesday. The
cabinet had been in session all day and
the news became known after midnight.
Russia, according to trustworthy
though unofficial reports, has unreseryed-
ly placed herself 81 the side of the Unit
ed States. The Gar consents to nego-
tiate with Li-Hung Chang as the repre-
sentative of the Imperial Government,
and disclaims any desire to retain Chi
nese territory either as compensation or
under the title Of conquest. He offers to
withdraw his troops, not alone from the
capital, but from every district of China
now occupied by them. In other words,
Manchuria is not claimed by Russia as
her province and is to be returned to
China.
Ihat this comedies exactly with the
plans of our own government is apparent
at glance. Russa's note means. there
fore, that she is anxious for the restora-
uon OF the status quo as it existed prior
to the invasion, and ready to second the
Efforts of the United States in accom-
phshing that purpose. Her sole condition
IS said to be that there shall be practical
unanimity among the allies in executing
the disinterested and pacific program.
The main features of the convention
between Russia and America are:
FIRST-That, although accomplished by
force of arms, the rescue of the ministers
and foreign residents has been effected for
which purpose solely the allied armies seized
the Chinese capital
SECOND-That Emperor Kwang SH Is the
de facto and de jure ruler of China.
THlRD-That Li-Hung- Chang Is the duly
accredited envoy for peace of the Chinese
government.
FOUPTH-The powers are requested to
cooperate with Li-Hung- Chang and his
government for the restoration of order
throughout the empire.
F1FTH-That this restoration of order,
and the status quo as to the open door and
the arrangement of all proper indemnity,
can be secured by the accredited ENJOYS of
al the nations having grievances against
China by reason of the recent outbreak.
SINTH-That the integrity of the empire
be preserved and that no territorial COM
DenSations be demanded

TRAIN RUNS INTO RIVER.
Accident to Wabash Fast Freight-No
One Ia Injured

iva Wabash locomotives and three
freight ears of the Wabash fast Eastern
freight train No. 8 plunged through an
open drawbridge into the Rouge river at
Delray, Mich, near Detroit. The engine
crews had remarkably narrow escapes
and no one was injured. The heavy train
approached the bridge too rapidly to be
controlled The rule is to stop 300 yards
from the bridge unless signalled otheg-
wise. Engineers Wagner and McNab
say that the signal indicated to come
ahead. The bridge tender AYERS the sig
nal was set to stop. The engineer and
fireman of the head engine jumped off
easily. The men on engine two narrow
~ got out through the tender gangway.
The bottom Of the Rouge is very soft and
the engines have sunk out of sight. Wa
bash trains are passing over the Michi-
gan Central as the approach to the Wa
bash bridge is blocked.

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Body of James Rankin Found with
Two F1atirons Tied to 1t.

Body of James Rankin Found with
Two F1atirons Tied to 1t.
The body of James Rankin, a machin-
list, was found on the rocks off Fort
Wadsworth, New York, by two sentries.
1t had been left there by the outgoing
tide. When the coat and waistcoat had
been removed two fatirons were found
tied with picture wire to the waistband.
A single turn with the wire had been
taken around the neck and there were
several turns about the body, which kept
the irons in position. There was cut
over the left eye. 1t was at first beliey-
ed that the man had committed suicide
and that to make certain that he would
drown had fastened the weights about
nls body. The body was identified as
that of James Rankin by Walter Bate
man. From what Bateman told Coroner
Sever, tier is of the opinion that
, 1t may IA naye been a case of suicide,
but of murder. Rankin worked in a ship
yard in Bay City, Mich, several years
ago. A strike was ordered and Rankin
refused to go out with the other en-
ployes. Subsequently be was compelled
to quit the town. 1t was charged that he
had revealed secrets of the union to
which he belonged.
