MORE MURDERS.

London, July 2O.-To add to the gloom
occasioned by the extremely serious i'm
port of the news showing the daily de-
veloping strength of the anti-foreign
movement in the south of China comes
this morning from Shanghai a report that
SO missionaries and 100 native converts
have been murdered at Tai Yuan, a for
titled and populous city in the province
of Shan See, on the Fuen Ho an affu-
ent Of the Hoang Ho, rs miles southeast
of Pekin.
The report is not yet corroborated, but
it tends to confirm the belief that the
hope that the central and southern vice.
rOys would hold aloof from the Boxer
rising never had much foundation. If
this massacre has occurred in the prov
ince Of Shan See there can be little ques-
ton hat the intense anxiety, even at
Shanghai, is fully justified. for an attack
later by the masses Of Chinese gathering
in and about the international cOnces-
sions would mean horrors compared with
which the massacre at Pekin would be
insignificant.
The rumor is again current in shang-
hal that the empress dowager and en-
peror are preparing to retire from the
capital to See Ngan Flu.
Indian troops are daily arriving at
Hong Kong en- route to Taku.
The authorities at st. Petersburg are
satisfied that the measures for the relief
Of Tarbin, which is identical with Char
bin, will be successful. With a view to
showing his good faith the Chinese min
lister at st. Petersburg has begged the
Russian foreign secretary to examine all
dispatches arriving for the legation be-
fore their delivery.
a Hong Kong dispatch reports a dar-
ing act of piracy within the harbOr
there. A score of pirates armed with
revolvers, seized a launch and took it up
the Canton river, capturing two junks
en- route. After looting the craft the pi-
rates abandoned them.

A CLEVER ANSWER.
France Will Communicate With Its
..vNEr Legation at Pekin.

Paris, July 20.-The Chinese minister
at Paris has transmitted to M. Del Casse,
minister of foreign affairs. for commune
cation to President Loubet. a message
from the emperor of China, which was
dispatched by the governor of Shang
Tung Thursday, July 10, asking the me-
diation of ran with the foreign pow
ers. The telegram makes no allusion to
the foreign ministers at Pekin.
M. Del Casse informed the minister
that President Loubet's reply would be
addressed to the French legation at Pc
kin, where the imperial government can
obtain it, but first the government Of the
republic will wait until it is certain that
the French minister at Pekin is safe and
sound. @sh "t-." "M

to forward it at the earliest moment to
the president for his Information. Then
Secretary Hay, remembering the intense
public anxiety to have tidings Of the Amer

them with an explanatory statement, and
these copies We're given to the newspaper
men, who by this time, scenting the fact
that news of the greatest Importance had
come, began crowding the broad corridor
before the secretary'S office. .
Then Secretary Hay betook himself to
the war department to convey the news in
person to Secretary Root and to Secretary
Long, who were together at the time.
After a short consultation in Secretary
Roots office, Secretary Hay, upon emerg-
ing into the corridor, was with
congratulations by a large crowd of de-

who had congregated there. AS the one

IS EASILY CURED.
Featber-Enting Hens Are Not Vicious
Hut Victims of Disease That
Yields to Simple Treatment.

The New York Experiment station
recently published bulletin on
feather eating among fowls. The
report makes a number of observa-
tions on this habit, suggesting that it
is the result of lack of nitrogenous
matter in the feed and citing expert
ments where fresh cut bone. lean
meat, etc, were fed. The vice" the
report says, sis very uncommon
among fowls that have exercise and
a variety of food, and it is most eco
nomical to prevent it's appearance by
careful feeding, but as the spread is
rapid even under a ration which does
not ordinarily seem to encourage its
development, the vice should be
stamped out by the death or removal
of the first offender"
The editor of the Farm and Dairy,
New South Wales, calls attention to
the fact of the failure to mention the
true cause of feather eating" at
is now well-known fact" says the
editor, "that feather eating is due to a
minute parasite (sarcoptis laevis)
which feeds at the roots of the feath-
ers, thus irritating the bird and caus-
ing them to pluck out their own
feathers. Where feathers are pulled
out by other birds, it is due to the
presence of lice, for which they are
searching"
The prevention and remedy, says
the editor, are simple, as the mite dis
ease is contagious. Isolation of the af-
fected bird is the first step, especially
if it be a cock. The mites WELD read
lily to treatment of one part of creo-
sote to 20 parts of lard or vaseline,
well rubbed into the affected parts.
