ut is a unique testimony to the great
individuality of President Kruger that
his voyage to Europe is watched with
more intense interest by the continent
tai press than is the progress Of the
war in China. The daily calculations
of the speed of the Gelderland with it's
illustriOus passenger have two main in
SEPARATIONS, namely, curiosity as to what
the indomitable president may say for
his people and against England when
he lands at Marseilles and the prob
able effect of this upon the attitude of
the European powers and the military
policy of the British in the further
prosecution of the war.
"All speculation agrees upon two
points: There are TO be great reveal
tons. In one well informed quarter
it is asserted Mr.. Chamberlain will
soon have an opportunity of reading
private letters found in johannesburg
that will place the active completely of
the colonial office in the jameson raid
beyond further dispute. Proof will also
be adduced that Kruger purchased the
ammunition for the Boer armies from
Birmingham firms in which the family
and friends of the colonial secretary
have a large interest"
The Gelderland will stop at Port
Said only to receive dispatches and
will proceed in a few hours to Mar
settles, where it is expected to arrive
on the 18th. Kruger is not likely to
publish any statement until after coun-
selling with the members of the Boer
government already in Europe, all of
whom will meet him on landing.

SCENE WAS A TERRIBLE ONE
Belgian Describes the Massacre of Chin
ese by Russian SoIdiery.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-THE Globe this
afternoon publishes a letter from a
Belgian gentleman who has been trlv-
cling to Pekin via the Trans-Siberian
railroad. He describes, under date OF
September 6, what he saw in the Anus
river. His accounts surpass in horroc
those previously published.
The scenes | have visited during
the three days since the steamer left
BlagoVetschensk," he says, ARE horrl-
BILE beyond the power Of description.
1t is the closing tableau of a fearful
human tragedy. two thousand were
deliberately drowned at MorXo, 1000
at Rabe and 5000 around Blagovet-
chensk, u total of 1900 corpses en-
numbering the river, among which
were thousands of women and children.
Navigation was all but possible. Last
week a boat had to pillow it's way
through a tangled and mangled mass
of corpses dashed together by their
long hair. The banks were literally
covered with cOrpses. In the curves or
the stream were dark, putrld, smelling
masses OF human flesh and bone, surg
ing and swaying in the steamers wake.
The captain valnly ordered full speed
ahead. The sight and smell will be
ever with us.
From Blagovetchensk to Aigun,
~forty-five kilometers, numerous villages
studded the bank, with a thriving, IN
dllStrlOuS population of over 100. coo
That of Aigun was 10000. No n Will
ever know the number OF those who
persisted by shot, sword and fire. Not
a village is left. The silence of death
was around us. The smoking ruins
of Aigun were on the right, with br):s-
en- down, %crumbling walls and shat
tered walls and shattered, roofless
houses"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE thir-

tional Grange, Patrons OF H~usbandry,
began here today with 4 good attend
ance and will continue for q week or
more. The chief feature Of interest
today was the annual address of Wor-
thy Master Aaron Jones OF Indiana,
who said that in most of the states
the order had enjoyed great prosperity
during the year. In a few states It
had not succeeded so well. The mem
bers of the grange, while afiliating
with each of the political parties in
the last campaign, had emerged from
it's battles without disturbing the fra
ternal spirit a~ctuating the order.
The report of the secretary, DIR.

that 1881 new oranges had been char
tered during the year-the order now
numbering over 100000 members.
