RUSSIA ASSERTING SUPREMACY.
Pouring Troops into the Chinese

London, Sept 13.-The Times pub

correspondent, Dr. Morrison. under date
of August 81: THE censorship, which
is under Sir Alfred Gasselle's control,

the present condition in Pekin. Today.
the foreign community was thrilled
with horror at the news of the mas
sacre of the missionaries at Pao Ting
Flu, who were under the. protection of
the imperial troops. Children We're
butchered before the eyes of their par
ents. White women were ravished and
carried into captivity. Parents We're
tortured and murdered. Massacres by

vengeance, yet the troops remain here
inactive The one thought and wish are
TO be given work or to be recalled from
Pekin. Surely the civilized world Will
not suffer this massacre to remain un-
avenged and make no effort to ascer-
ltain the fate of the poor martyred
Christians and white women. Since the

HErLloHr OF KRUGER.
Believed That is VIII Open Way for
Peace Ne9OtiaItons.

London, Sept. 13.The flight OF Presi-s
dent Kruger from what Is now desig-
mated as the vaal River Colony. and his
arrival at Lourenzo Marques. is re-
garded here as Indicative OF an early
end OF the hostilities in South Africa. "A
message from Lourenzo Marques says
the Transvaal state officials accompa-
|nied President Kruger into Portuguese
territory.
Significant, also, altho 1t is uncon-
firmed, is the announcement that Gen.
Botha, the Boer mander-in-chief, Is
making overtures to surrender, and the
question whether the burghers Will now
follow the usual course of beaten
armies and lay down their arms or for

however, believed here that President
Kruger's action deprives the Beers of
their main pretexts for remaining in the
| field.
The British war Office has issued
long report from Lord Roberts on the
treatment of British prisoners OF war at
Pretoria, founded on the report of the
lcourt OF inquiry. Briefly Lord Roberts
declares that the treatment OF the Off
GERS was fair, but that the food of the
men was quite inadequate and OF infe-
rior quality. He denounces the treat
ment of the colonial prisoners as crimi-
nails and says the inhuman treatment
lof sick prisoners throws the greatest
Idiscredit on the authorities then at Pre-
|toria.
The prevalence Of sickness and many
deaths of prisoners, Lord Roberts adds,
EIare attributable to the lack Of proper
flood, medicines and accommoda tions
land the neglect of ordinary sanitary
sIprecautions.

Des Moines, Sept. 13.-The report OF
the mineral production in Iowa for the
year 1899, which was compiled by s. W..
Boyer, has just been issued by the Iowa
geological survey as part Of its annual
report. volume 10. Mr.. Boyer says that
the year was Characterized by the great
est activity IN all the mineral industries
ever known in this state. The output
shows great gains, and not only is the
quantity greater, but the price also. For
instance. the coal output increased 10
per cent and the price increased II cents
per ton, while stone Increased in pro-
duction quarter Of million dollars or
more than 43 per cent. For the first
time, according to this report, Iowa is
now listed as one Of the states producing
iron ore In commercial quantity. The
federal survey assists the state in this
compilation OF statistics of mineral pro-
duction. The report shows that the
value Of mineral production in Iowa in
1899 was $40. 101 .507. 1t is a surprise to
know that whereas there are 203 produc-
ers of coal, there are 800 producers OF

Dectslon Now Rsmains with She
President as 20 Pekan.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Ihe question
OF withdrawing the American troops
at once from Pekin is now before the
president and q speedy Decision II ex
pected and required. There are diferS
ences among ON cials In Hekin on thies
subject and the issue is for the presi-
dent to decide. Gen. Chaffsa was made
acquainted with the attitude of the gov
eminent and was directed to hold him
self In readiness to withdraw his troops
The sending Of further supplies 10 him
has been stopped and he now awaits
but the signal from Washington to be-
gin his movement. The considerations
now before him in favor of immediate
withdrawal are first, the fact that he is
already committed in a measure to such
course by the above quoted language in
reply to the Russian note. Second. II
is represented that China Is on the
verge Of terrible famine, and tie re-
Istention of the troops in Pelzin, prevent
ing as they do the return OF the Chinese
government and the supply Of pr0vis-
ions to the capital, places the responsi-
l5bility for what threatens 70 be q fright-
| full calamity upon the powers who sane
toned the occupation. On the other
hand, strong representations have been
made to the president In opposttton to
withdrawal in advance OF the proeuee-s
ment of absolutely sufficient guaran-;
tees for the protection Of American in-
terests in China and for the easety OF
the native Christians. This last condi-
/ tion is one most difficult TO nsee<, but.

S|5element, is being; given most careful
consideration. In anticipation OF some!
i such state Of affairs the effort has been
i made TO hasten the dispatch OF pTelim-
s|5inaries to negotiations. It Is highly de-
Isirable that some responsible rvpre-
4 sentative of the Chinese government be
sI.recognized in order that We may eecura

New York under date Of Dec. 20, said
among other things that conflicting re-
ports are current concerning Days

tract as manager Will expire in May. It's
renewal is optional with him.. 1t is re-
ported that he will return to Montana on
