Massillon, April 12-Joseph Blaker
and Charles Holzbach two boys en-
ployed at the glass works had some
words in the shop the other day, and 1t
is said Blaker struck Holzbach in the
eye causing considerable discoloration.
Holzbach didn't like to go to work with
a black eye, SO he remained at home,
for few days. Yesterday he appeared
before Mayor Wise and swore to an af-
fidavit charging Blaker with assault
and battery. Blaker came before Mayor
Wise last night and told the circum-
stances of the scrap. He was allowed
to go after paying Holzbach the wages
he had lost because of his discolored
optic.
LAID TO REST.
Massillon, April 1.-THE remains Of
the late Mrs. Gertrude May Walsh were
laid to rest in st. Joseph's cemetery
this afternoon at o'clock. Preceding
the interment there were funeral SER
vices at st. Joseph's Catholic church.
The young woman who was taken long
before the midsummer of her life was
very popular in the city and a large
concourse of friends gathered in the
church to witness the last sad rites. A
long cortege followed the remains to
their last resting place in st. Joseph's.
AN AWFUL ODOR.
Massillon, April ia disastrous con-
fagration occurred in the barber shop
Of the Hotel Sailer this morning. John
Hankins the tonsorial expert who at
tends the first chair in the shop, went
to gas Jet to heat a curling iron. He
struck a match and threw 1t behind
a show case. 1t was Hankin's inten-
tion to have the match land on the floor
but it didn't. Instead, 1t fell into pair
of brand new patent leather shoes. In
short time peculiar odor was noticed
in the room and it was thought the
sewer was clogged. An investigation
was pursued and then the cause of the
disturbing aroma was discovered. The
entire top Of the shoe was in ruins and
the walls had fallen in. The blaze was
extinguished and the room Is now being
fumigated under the direction Of Pro-
prietor Mahlon Rohn.

Ellsworth. Wis. Sept. 21.-[Special.l
The island across the river from Red
Wing, which is part Of this county, but
so far away from the authorities at that
place that suppression of lawlessness
there is very difficult, has recently had
siege. Some time ago, it is alleged, Mary
Cook, one of the residents fired several
shots at her husband, Charles Cook,
with Il view of killing him. She was
arrested. A warrant was sworn out for
the arrest OF her husband. and the sheriff
and some deputies went from here to ar
rest him. They found him over in Red
Wing, but he declined to go with them
across the river where the Wisconsin of
fcers could exercise their legal authori-
ty. The officers returned to the island
and took possession Of Cooks place and
policed the island generally. Cook later
went voluntarily to Ellsworth.

Young Woman on Her Way to Fond

to a Child.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Sept. 22-[Spe-
cial. Mrs. Charles Wilson gave birth
to Il child on Wisconsin Central train
between st. Paul and this city. The
family had been at Fargo, y. D., where
the husband had made balloon ascen
sion. During the feat the parachute in
some manner caught fire and Wilson fell
violently upon the ground, being Grip
pied for life The family then started
for Fond du Lac. where the wife has
relatives. The woman hoped to reach
Fond du Lac before the birth of the
child. When near this city the little one
was born Their money was exhausted
and they were turned over to charity.
The mans injuries were such that he
could not move from seat i'll the depot.
Mayor Cunningham took the woman to
the Taylor house and secured accommo-
dations until the next train departed.
In the meantime Il sufficient sum of
money was raised to carry them through.
The woman is young and exceptionally
good looking.

1T is incomprehensible." he continued,
why the allies should suddenly have had
an overmastering desire to destroy these
forts. There were no missionaries inside
them or any foreigners requiring rescue.
1t constitutes a gratuitous insult to Chi
ma and puts the powers in an attitude OF

volled as it seems at this distant point of
view"
Germany's Demand for Blood.
The Chinese minister does not believe
tn 1t the German Emperor intended his
vengeance proposal as an ultimatum,
or that any Of the powers will look upon
it in that light.
''Tha punishment of the guilty par
ties" SAID he, 'is essentially an issue to
be determined by the negotiations. The

THE miscellaneous punitive expeditions
which have been dispatched to scour the
country are wasting time and energy.
The powers might as well look for a
needle in a haystacz as attempt to ferret
the Emperor and Empress out of the
vast empire Of China if they have dellb-
erately undertaken to secrete themselves.

ORDERED TO LEAVE CHINA.
Chaffee and American Troops will
Go to Philippines.
TO GERMANY.
The United States Wants Peace First,
After Which Outlaws Will
be Punished.

Washington, d. c., Sep 22-In reply
TO Germany's note, Il copy Of which has
been sent to all the nations, the United
States has ordered Gen Chaffee, the
forces under his command, and the
American marines at Pekin, to withdraw
from China, but Il guard Of one regiment
OF infantry, q battery of artillery, and a
squadron Of cavalry will remain at Pekin
to protect the American legation. This
guard will be under the command of Gen.
Wilson.
Gen Chaffee and the troops that are
withdrawn will be sent to the Philip
pines, and the marines will be distribut-
ed among the American warships report
ing ut Manila. This withdrawal will be-
gin almost Immediately, or as soon as
Gen. Chaffee can get his forces in readi-
ness to leave. He has been under orders
for some time to be prepared to withdraw
on short notice, and as he has undoubtedly
0beyed these instructions, it will be
question of only few hours when the
march from Pekin will begin.
Troops Left on American Soil.
The troops which will remain at Pekin
will be Quartered on the ground sur
rounding the American legation. This is
sufficient as the troops will be practical
ly on American soil and subject only to
the orders of American officers, and
Count Waldersee will have no right
whatever to issue any orders to the
United States troops in China. In other
words, this government will pursue an
Independent course in China, as the other
governments have not come to an under
standing in a reasonable length of time,
as was suggested by this government.
Inasmuch as there was no indication Of
harmony of action between the nations,
President Mckinley has decided that the
interests of this government demand that
the troops be withdrawn with the eXcep-
ton of a guard for the legation. and will
begin negotiations for peace with China
without further delay.
Conger to Prepare the Way.
In fact. Minister Conger has been in
structed to confer with Prince Ching in
regard to negotiations preliminary to
peace negotiations. The United States
will not agree to the German prop
osition that the ringieaders shall be
punished before peace negotiations are
begun. On the contrary, the United
States wants to begin peace negotiations
at once and it desires the Chinese gov
eminent to punish the offenders. This is
the substance of the reply of the United
States to the propositions of Germany
and Russia. A copy of it has been sent
to all the nations interested i'll the Chi
nese situation. together with informatiO
that Gen. Chaffee has been ordered to
withdraw from China. Just what effect
this action will have on the Chinese sit
uatiOn is not known here, but it is
hoped it will be the means of bring g
about an amicable solution.

Allies Reported to Have Suffered
Severely-Germa Cannot be
Satisfied with Money.

London, Sept. 21.-The Standard prints
this morning a story, guaranteed as be-
ing authentic by its Moscow correspond
ent, describing the frightful atrocities
practiced by the Russians on the Chinese
at Blagoyeschensk:
"'Ihore were resident at that town
5000 Chinese, including women and chill
dren. and when the recent trouble began
the Russians, first in isolated cases and
later in larger bodies, sought out the Chl-
nese under pretense of seeing that they
had no arms. Nc Chinaman's life was
worth a minutes purchase. I1Vate
houses were forcibly entered in search
Of supposed lurking Chinese who were
largely employed i'll the town as cooks.
In the course Of such pretended searches
any Chinese found were put to death on
the spot
AT this point the authorities stepped
in and notified all Chinese residents ot
the town that they must repair TO the po-
lice stations The entire body OF ChlneSe
inhabitants of Rlagoveschensk, 5000 in
number, were escorted out of town to a
spot FIVE miles upstream. Here the!
were led in patches, few hundred at Il
time. to the river bank and ordered 20
cross over to the Chinese side. NO b0arS
were provided and there was no bridge.
The river was Il mile VIDE ana the cur
rent by no means sluggish.
Into River, Dead or Alive.
Men, women and children were flung
alive into the stream, OF on the least
show Of resistance stabbed aud shot and
their bodies thrown after the living VIC
Tins. The volunteers, Russian work
men and peasants. lined the bank ana
dubbed and shot any OF the poor wretche'
who attempted to land. Not one escaped
alive and the entire length Of the rlver
bank for miles above and below Blago
veschensk was strewn with corpses.
This massacre was undoubtedly per-
formed under the direct orders OF the au-
th0ritieS.
THUS the tide of slaughter was let
loose throughout the Amur region. and
henceforth every Russian knew that he
had full license to kill as he chose.
''In Chinese villages and strewn abou;
the Russian bank of the Amur river not
less than 7000 men, women and children
were similarly put to death.

TEACH CHINA A LESSON.
Germany Not to be Satisfied with a
Money Indemnity.

Washington. ID. c., Sept. 21.-The re-
ply of the United States to the German
proposition for the punishment of the in
stigatOrs of the Boxer uprising i'll China
will be considered by the President and
his cabinet this morning.
In official and diplomatic circles it is
believed the United States will offer Il
counter proposition, which will have the
effect of delaying matters. 1t would be
proper for the United States to inquire
what punishment is to be inflicted upon
the offenders. or how the offenders are to
be selected, or how they are to be tried.
Teach Chinese Officials a Lesson.
1t is matter of history that no prOmi-
nent Chinese official has ever suffered Sc
we're punishment for completely in anti
foreign uprisings in China. The high Of
ficials have acted with impunity, and
when blood has been demanded they
have escaped by Offering the lives of inof-
fcnsive coolies who have been put for
ward as the chief culprits. Ger
many now proposes as lasting lesson
to the Chinese hierarchy that the princes
and other high officials who were guilty
shall be punished. In this programme the
of France. Italy England and
several Of the smaller powers of Europe
has been obtained. Russia and Japan,
recognized enemies. are the only nations
aside from the United States that have
not anncuncci in favor of the punish
