RUSSIANS STOPPED,
MISSIONARIES UNHURT.
So Far Only Native Christians Havs
been Massacrsd.

Washington, May 3o.-Not word
has been received at the state or navy
departments from any of the officials in
China since yesterdays report from
Minister Conger Communication by
cable is still open SO it is assumed by the
officials here that there has been no sensi-
BILE change in the situation or at any rate
none affecting American interests.
In fact these interests have so far not
been directly attacked during the present
uprising by the .'Boxers" and state de-
partment officials direct attention to the
fact that up to this time the massacres
have been confined to the native Chris
t'ans. Not single American citizen has
been killed so far rs Is known. II the
situation were to continue on this basis
IL might be difficult TO find ground for
such arbitrary action as the landing OF
marines in the Chinese capital, but Mr..
Conger's reports so clearly indicate the
apprehension that the development Of
the Boxers uprising would involve the
jeopardy Of American life and property
the state department could no longer
neglect his warning, hence the dispatch
of marines to Pekin.

TROOPS LANDED.


Boxers Expected to Disperse Before
Foreigners Are Ready to Act.
Tien Tsin, May 30.-American, British,
japanese, German, Italian. Russian and
French troops TO the number Of 100 each,
have been ordered to guard their respec-
tive legations at Pekin, but the viceroy
here will not allow them to proceed hence
to Pekin on the railway without the au-
thority of the foreign office. One hun
dred and eight Americans with ma
chine gun and field gun. landed here
last night amidst great enthusiasm on
the part Of the residents. Five Russian
and one British warship have arrived
at Taku, and the British are now land
ing Other warships are hourly expect
ed. Three thousand Chinese troops from
Lu Tai are expected here today en- route
to Fang Tai. There is disposition here
to believe that the Boxers will dispsrse
before the foreign troops are ready to act.
lien Tsin Is In no danger.
The rescue party of Frenchmen and
Germans returned from Changh- Sin-Tie
this afternoon. They confirm the report
that the besieged Belgians are now safe
at Pekin. They found several thousand
Boxers about the ruins of Tu Mow-Chiao
and Changh- Sin Tien stations The
bridges have been damaged and the roll
ing stock destroyed. At both places the
damage Is considerable greater than AT
Fang Tai. The members Of the rescue
party saw several bodies Of CHEESE tear
ing up the sleepers and In one case n
mandarin was looking on. They further
report that the missionaries and Others
escaped from Pao Ting Flu In boats.
The Imperial railway directory is en-
deavoring to fasten the blame for the
damage at Fang Tai on the foreign
employees, principally the British, whom
they say should not have left their posts.
The foreigners, however, did not leave
until they saw Lu-Mow- Chias station,
five miles away, in flames, and an attack
had actually been made ION an engine
from Fang Tai. which was running on
the Lu Han line, In an attempt to rescue
the Belgians.
The foreign men of war have arrived
here today. Five Russian warships and
two Russian gunboats, one French war
ship two British warships and one Italian
warship, They are all landing men.

TWO MEN KILLED.
Sad Fatalities Attending Bicycle Races
fn waitham.

Waltham, Mass, May 30.-Two fatali-
sets division of the l.. W. A, at the
Waltham bicycle track and the injuring
OF several others contributed to one of the
most unfortunate events in the history
of New England bicycle tracks. The dead
are: Harry +. Miles, twenty five, OF
Lynn; William +. Stafford, twenty -four
of Cambridge.
The accident occurred in the second
mile Of the four cornered international
meet or pack race, the contestants being
Everett 4. Ryan Of Waltham, Albert
Champion of Paris, Archie McEachern,
Toronto, Canada. and William p. Stin-
son of Cambridge. .,..
In the first lap of the second mile, on
the turn into the back stretch, the four
pacing machines were stretched across the
track. Champion swerved into the grass,
and In avoiding him. Harry 4. Miles,
twenty five years Of age Of Lynn, and
William f, Stafford. twenty -four years OF
age of Cambridge, who were riding the
Stinson motor pacing tandem, were
forced up the track and over the bank.
Both men were thrown, Miles striking
head first upon an electric light pole re-
ceiving fractured skull. The top OF his
head was crushed in and as he was being
removed to the training quarters, his
brains ran out upon the street here. He
died within a very ew minutes after the
accident. Stafford who was riding behind
Miles, was thrown bodily through the
picket fence his skull was fractured, his
nose broken and his false teeth were
forced down his throat. He was removed
to the Waltham hospital, where his death
occurred tonight.
The big motor tandem which they were
riding was thrown over the fence, upon
the crowd which had been watching the
racing. 1t fell upon half a dozen men and
women. Patrick Shannahan and George
Hill, both of Newton Upper Falls each
had q leg broken, and two other men and

Not only the men who fell at Antietam,

memorated by this structure, for they
have waged that greater battle Of civilian

n conspicuous illustration here today. On
the second day Of Antietam when the
Federal line was hurled against Lees
right, an Ohio regiment was stationed by
the banks Of the creek not far to the left
Of the bridge upon which was conferred
Lees terrible fire Of shot and shell, and
away to the rear with the supply wagon
was commissary sergeant, boy Of
eighteen, who as the days and the hours
wore away remembered that the men 81
his regiment would BE fainting and
weary for the food left In his charge be-
hind. And then the boy without orders,
compelled by no soldiers duty, loaded his
wagons, called for volunteers and on
from the rear to the front, through the
shower of shot and shell, Drawing death
every instant brought to the front and to
the fainting soldiers Of his regiment the
re-enforcenents Of food and strength that
enabled them 10 go on with the conflict
It'll the end. (Applause.) The regiment
was the 23d Ohio; its colonel was Ruther-

BOWDOIN, z; p. A. C., 6.
A Splendid Ten Inning Game IN
Afternoon.

Bowdoin and p. A. c., played beauti
full ball in the afternoon and it was only
until ten innings had been completed
that the oollegians won. Both teams
played with the steadiness of profession
ais, no one got ratified and the few errors
made We're to some extent excusable.
Portland got after Pitcher Clarke in the
fifth inning and batted in three runs.
Then Bacon went in and pitched u fine
game. He is undoubtedly the leading
Maine College player today and fully sus-
tanned his reputation. When the ninth
inning opened Portland had one to the
good. But Clarke, Hoyt and Harkins
got hits in succession and earned a run.
Harkins's tap was beautiful bunt
along third base line. There We're still
three ON bases, but Trainor was caught
at the plate and Bacon and Movers were
out on outfleld tiys.
The score was tied and 1t was up to
Portland. Gorham hit one down to Har-
kins who had been playing splendidly at
third. He made corking one hand stop
and got his man. Kelley tried one on
Clarke and another circus pickup result

hit to Quinn and he too suffered the same
fate.
Bowdoin started well in the tenth
Pratt hit safely, Quinn got life on

who caught Pratt at third. Hoyt made
q safety and Quinn scored-the run need
cd to win as it proved. Harkins and
Trainor were easy outs. Ross could do
no better than strike out and it began to
look dark for p. A. G. Edgar banged
the bali hard and when it left the bat 1t
looked to be good for two bases, but it
went in Hoyt's direction, and was pulled
in out of the atmosphere. Hamilton
was out, Clarke to Pratt and the game
was Bowdoin's.
Kelley made fine running catch in
the eighth, but the particular star of the
game for Portland was WEIGH, who played
short field about as well as it was ever
played on the grounds. The young man
was everywhere digging them out of the
dirt and he threw with the accuracy c.
sharp shooter. Ross pitched good
steady game and Edgar caught him well.
