NO M MERCY
Being Shown to Chinese by the Rus
sian Soldier.

San Francisco, Aug. 7.-(Spl.) Mrs.
e. B. Drew, wife of the Chinese Gus
toms Commissioner, at Tien Tsin, ar
rived from Taku or the Transport
Logan, yesterday. In an interview in
the Examiner she is quoted as say
ing:
1T is hard to believe that white men
would perform such deeds as we wit
messed during the bombardment of
Ticn Tsin. From the Boxers there was
no mercy to expect, but from the Rus
slams one would think otherwise. Their
conduct was barbarious. They pill
laged, looted, tortured and murdered
right and left. If a timid Chinese
woman with babe in her arms hid
In her little house, brutal Russian
would burst in the door, pillage the
house, steal what he could and then
murder the frightened woman.
THE babe was picked up on his bay
onet point and carried out into the
streets. The sight would be hailed
with cheers and laughter by his fell
low soldiers. Probably before the lit
tie thing was dead it would be tossed
high into the air.
IF it was not caught Oh the point
of the same bayonet again some other
soldier would catch it on his bayonet,
and perhaps toss it back again. then
it would be thrown to one side. There
was not only one case of this kind
but many. Chinese women were mis-
treated and killed in house after
house.
Nothing could stop the Russians.
They We're there after blood and they
made it flow like water. On the 18th
of July the Imperial Military college
was taken and the Russians followed
the students from room to room, hunt
ing them like rats and killing them
like so many wild beasts.%

Bill, who was the gold standard candidate for Governor In 1S96 This gentleman is now supporting. Mir Bryan because of the latter's position on the subject of expansion, and he presided over the meeting tonight.
 More than unusual attention was sgiven Mr Bryan in his speech to the legislation concerning Porto Rico He used this as an illustration of what the Republican party would do in other countries If the oppor- tunity should offer. This legislation he re- garded as a specimen of imperialism. and a good intention of what could be expected of a Republican Congress. He thought the sudden changes made by President .McKin- ley and the Republican party must have been very unpalatable to their followers. Speaking of the Filipinos along the usual line, Mir. Bryan propounded the following question::
 Republicans, are not you ashamed to say that God would make Filipinos and leave them thousands of years until Hanna found them?"
 MT. Bryan taunted the Republicans with failure to formulate any plan for the con trol of the Philippines and on this point said:
 Republicans have you any plan for deal ing with the Philippine Islands? Has any Republican leader outlined a plan? Your candidates have not, your committeeman have not, your editors have not, all they ask of you is that you shall have conh- dence in them and let them do it to suit themselves. Are you willing to trust them to change your form of government and allow them to deal with people in man. ner antagonistic to our declaration of inde- pendence? We have plan which has been before the people for more than year. It is open and easily understood. You have a chance to accept it or adopt it. You say you ought not to announce our purpose? Your administration has, in regard to the Cubans, and if it is wise to tell million Cubans what we are to do with them why not tell seven million Fill pinos what we are going to do with them?"

Scattered throughout various parts of China are tenn porary palaces which the royal family off, clally occupy, and it is supposed occupy those located at Tai Yuen Flu. Prince Ching, who without doubt is still in Pe- kin, is a well-known pro-foreigner. Up to a very recent time he commanded large garrison in the capital city, but a few weeks ago reports came that he had been shorn of his power. His presence in the city, however, is regarded as certain, and he may be of great assis tance to both the allies and the Chinese in bringing about an understanding between the contending elements. He was decidedly pro-foreign in his sentiments, and it was he who was supposed to be responsible for the decapi- tation of two well-known members of the TSung-l- Yamen, according to reports re- ceiVed some time ago.
