Details of the taking Of the Peitang forts at
Taku and Of Peitachu, near Pekin show both op
CREATIONS to have been successfully concluded with
a minimum Of loss No Americans were engaged
at Peitang. The truth concerning the Amur
massacres makes the affair out TO be terrible
as first reports indicated, but adds collateral de.
tails which must be taken into consideration in
censuring the Russians responsible. Prof. Wright
says mobs were responsible rather than Russian
troops acting under orders, and his word is to be
accepted against that Of biased British cor.
respondents. The southern viceroys, whose IN
fl ence has been distinctly pro foreign, appear to
fear German aggression, and are taking precau'
tions against it.
The folio wing is one report of the massacre by
the Russians: Accounts have been received Of a
horrible massacre at Blagovestchensk, which
was undoubtedly carried out under direct orders
from the Russian authorities, and which then let
loose the tide of slaughter through Amur. The
entire Chinese population of 500 persons was es.
cortet out Of town to a spot five miles up the
Amur, and then, being led in patches Of a few
hundred 10 the river bank, was ordered to cross
over TO the Chinese side. No boats were provid
ed, and the river is mile wide. The Chinese
were flung alive into the stream, and were stab.
bed or shot at the least resist ance while Russian
volunteers who lined the bank, dubbed or shot
any who attempted to land. Not one escaped
alive. The river bank for miles was strewn with
corpses.

Daring Burglars Captured.

Men who Held Up stOrekeepsr TInk-
ham AZ Quechee In the TOilS---One
Captured In sherburne and the Oiher
Found In New Jersey.
The two burglars who held up Scott Tinkham
Of Quechee In his store Tuesday night, robbed
him Of $3.50 and gold watch, and afterward ex.
changed shos with Deputysherln Eugene Thorn
as OF Woodstock, were In custody within three
days after the crime was committed. William
Cowdry, one OF the burglars, was captured We'd
nesday night at the house Of Ephraim button in
Sherburne, where he had gone to get supper.
Cowdry was found at the farm house by two
young men from the livery stable In Rutland
where Cowdry and his pal got the horses which
they used at Quechee, and Constable Davis OF
Sherburne assisted them In making the capture.
Cowdry was taken to Rutland, where he was
identified Thursday by Mr.. Tinkham, Deputy
Sheriff Thomas, and j. II. Holt OF Hartford, at
whose house Cowdry and his companion called
before robbing Tinkham,
Cowdry at first denied any connection with the
Quechee robbery or shooting, but when he was
confronted by Tinkham and Thomas he made a
full confession. He said his accomplish was Har-
ry Cesner. Cowdrys mother lives in Castletons,
and when officers called on her she stated that
she had just received letter from woman in
Asbury Park, N j. who claims to be Henry Cas-
ner's wife, and who wished TO ascertain his
whereabouts. She said her son had been living
In Asbury Park and that about 10 days ago he
visited her in tastleton accompanied by Harry
Casner. Casner seemed TO have q great infiu
ence over her son.
The Rutland county officers at once telegraph
ed to the authorities in Asbury Park, notifying
them that Casner was wanted, and later In the
day a reply came back stating that Casner had
been arrested at Asbury Park. High Bailih d. O
Jones arrested a man who was probably CasneI
at South Royalton, but the stranger told such q
plausible story about belonging to a part OF
campers that he was released. He at once start
ed for Boston, but left the train route and
probabyl went TO Asbury Park as soon as posi-

1900 Ro.rs Surrendered TO Portugusss.
The American Answer.

This, in substance is the reply Of the United
States to the proposals of China, Russia and
Germany for the establishment Of peace in China.
To China we say that we will recognize Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching as peace negotators;
to Russia that we will not withdraw our troops
and our legation from Pekiu; to Germany, that
we cannot join her In insisting that the punish
outrages, shall precede an investigation of their
guilt
The aim of our government In taking this stand
ia to secure the re establishment of a responsible
government in China at the earliest time possible
prevent the prolongation of the war, and the
partition of the Chinese empire. At the same
time, by keeping our grip on Pekin and strong
guard around our legation we hold ourselves in
position to insist that the persons responsible for
the massacre Of our missionaries and the attack
upon our minister shall be sternly punished.

Judge Watsen's charges to the jury have

some who drop into court to be interested

the judge has presided here, and it is gen.
orally thought that he attends strictly to
the despatch of court business. The sher-
ifs make good appearance in their blue
uniformed coats with brass buttons. The
coat of the high sheriff is marked from the
others in being of swallow tail cut. He is
very erect and man of much dignity, OBJ
serving punctiiously due forms of the
court. Some here remember when it was
the duty of the high sheriff to escort
the presiding judge to the bench from mis-
boarding place every morning and in those
days such sheriff wore a sword.
