DIR. MARY L. BURNHAM
Describes the Situation in China in
a Letter Written Recently.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, June DIR.
Mary L. Burnham, daughter of Grin R.
Burnham, who has charge Of the hos
pital or compound" connected with
the Presbyterian mission at Chinanfu,
China. in recent letter tells of the
work Of the boxers in that vicinity.
The letter was written few days be-
fore the massacre of several native
Christians in towns near Chinanfu,
and the killing from ambush of TWEEN
ty-six soldiers in regiment sent from
Chinanfu to the scene OF the massa-
cres.
Miss Burnham says:
The new governor at Chinanfu has
succeeded in quelling all outward
signs of the ia La Hui Chg knife sect
or boxers) in the city. We cannot go
from the city, however. without
guard. and much of the mission work
Is at standstill.
The English consul, Mr. Campbell, is
still here. He has had two men put
to death for the murder of Mr. Brooks.
1t was a cold blooded affair, and was
only possible because of the anti-for
eign feeling at Pekin.
1.-THE Governor is doing his duty, but
is crippled by his subordinate officers.
The head of the Board of Punishments'
(judge) has given Mr. Campbell, the
English consul, much trouble. Both
the English and the Americans have
asked their representatives to insist on
his removal
I'VE are quite safe here now, but 1t
has come to our ears that we had
narrow escape during the old Cover
nor's term of Office The Big Knives
emboldened by official favor, had de-
cided to loot our compounds here
This came to his ears and he behead-
ed two or three men whom he had in
custody.
Prom papers it would appear that
the movement was going north and
slowly but decidedly gaining ground
fear there can be only peace in China
if it is partitioned, and if partitioned
there will be long period of unrest
and unquiet."

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-G. Cramer, Sec
rotary of the citizens committee, said
to-day that the reinstatement clause is
the only thing that has not been agreed
to.
THE company" he said, cannot re-
ipstate all the strikers because many
of the positions on the road have been
filled with men hired since the strike
began. If the strikers will agree to go
back to work, if all the men for whom
there are places are reinstated, pref
erence being given to the older men,
an agreement can be reached"
President Whitaker will submit to
the committee tomorrow the number
of men the company can reinstate.
There will be no modification of the
strikers proposal of settlement sent to
the citizens committee Thursday.
The recommendation of the citizens
committee that the proposal be modi-
fed to include the acceptane by the
union of partial reinstatement of the
strikers have been rejected

to President Kruger.

Philadelphia school Boys Message
to President Kruger.
PHILADELPHIA. June 1.-The
North American has received the fol-
lowing cable message dated Pretoria,
May 20:
By stress of dire circumstances the
message from the school boys of Phila-
delphia to President Kruger, delivered
this day, has the tone of sympathy and
sorrow at the final misfortune which
is about to wipe the South African re-
public from the roll of Independent ma
lions, rather than of encouragement to
a people fighting for liberty--for the
fight has been fought and lost
The message was delivered in the
executive chamber at the capitol,
through the windows of which came
the rumble of OK carts and the general
confusion attendant upon the evacua-
ton of the city by the families of the
Beers. The British are reported to be
approaching. There was an impress
siye silence in the chamber as the stern
and venerable president of the doomed
republic bent forward to receive from
Messenger James Francis Smith the
packet which the boy had travelled
1900 miles to deliver into his hands.
Caesar, morituri te salutamus,"
quoted Secretary of State Reitz. as the
president accepted the message. Then
ne added Liter epigram: ION this
occasion the message is reversed.
Caesar greets those about to die"
This reference to the United States
ana the message of sympathy from
America to the President of a dying
sister republic profoundly moved every
one present. Tears glistened in the
PRESIDENTS eyes as he took the packet
from the messengers hauas.
In presenting the message Smith
made manly little speech, informing
President Kruger of the nature of his
mission as courier of the school bows
OF Philadelphia. Secretary Reitz trans
lated Smiths simple sentences as they
were spoken. Then the book contain
ing the narrative of the movement
that eliminated in the despatch of the
messenger and the newspaper clippings
expressive of the sympathy of the peo-
pie OF the United State with the Boer
cause was presented. President Kru-
gers reply was grave and courteous
he rendered hearty thanks to the
American people, and particularly to
the Liberty Lads of Philadelphia, for
their sympathy, and charged Smith to
return his greetings to the good peo-
pie OF America. Then with fatherly
Kindness he shook hands with Smith,
congratulating him upon completing
his long journey in safety and express
ing the hope that he would have an
equally safe return to his distant home.
