REV. JUNKlN IN SHANGHAI
A MISSIONARY FROM HOUSTON WHO
WAS WARNED OF TIE UPRISING.
He aud His wife Arrived safely al
shanghni--A Recent Letter
Describes Conditions.

Houstonians will be glad to learn that
the Rev. William F.. Junkin. an old Hous-
ton boy. who is now a missionary in China.
has arrived safely at Shanghai
His brother, Mr.. E. d. Junkin, man.
ager OF the Austin branch of r. G.. Dun S
agency has just received a letter sent
by Mr.. Junkin. after his arrival in Shang-
hal. to his mother, now at Mount Meridian,
Va. The letter. which was written In the
latter part of June. states thai Mr.. and
Mrs. Junkin received warning from the
mission station at Tsin Kiang Pu, while
they were at Su Chen. about the Boxer
uprising. Within twenty-four hours they
had packed lneir belongings and, taking
them. had started south for 500 Chow,
where Mrs. Junkin's father, Rev. II. c..
Du Bose, d. D., has his station. But
learning at Tsln Kiang Pu that an upris-
ing at 500 Chow was feared they joined
a party of missionary refugees from the
English stations and from those Of the
Northern assembly of the Presbyterian
church in America
when the party had reached Tsin kiang
Mr. Junkin wished to send his wife on to
Shanghai in care of the rest, while he
himself should return to his post at Su
Chen. His friends. however, would not
consent to his return, so all went on to-
gether to Shanghai.
Mr.. Junkin says the widest excitement
prevails in that city, and the prices OF
all necessaries have risen there.
AS Dr. and Mrs. Terrill the colleagues
OF the Junkins at the Su Chen mission,
had left a few days before the warning
was received, because of Or. Terrill' s
health. Mr. Junkin's departure closed the
mission station.
So Chen. situated near the grand canal,
is the northernmost and farthest inland
of the Chinese missions supported by the
Southern assembly of the Presbyterian
church.
Readers Of The Post will recall the de-
scription given in its columns short
time ago of The marriage of Mr. Junkin to
Miss Nette Du Bose, who was born in
China where her father has served as a
missionary for thirty years.

THE BANNER TESTIMONY.

Mr.. Nj. a. Grant. who served as official
stenographer for the city in reportin l
the testimony in the Banner Impeachment
trial, has not yet completed the work OF
transcribing the evidence. He has gone
far enough into the work, however, to
estimate that it will approximate about
100000 words.
Some idea of the magnitude of this work
may be gathered from the statement thai
newspapers average about 1900 words 10

in full would consume 1850 columns, OF
about 165 pages Of an average newspaper

Is Rccnpturcd and Cracks n Joke Mt
the Expense of Guard.
A negro convict at the CUNNINGHAM
farm attempted to escape yesterday
morning. The negro was trusty and
Jumped on one of the guards horses.
He made break for liberty on horseback
but was discovered by guard. The
guard gave chase on foot, firing FIVE
shots at the fleeing darkey. The negro
took up the Southern Pacific tracks and
was fast distancing his pursuer when
guard at Ellis farm, who was standing
alongside the track, snapped a shotgun
at him. The negro then decided to give
himself up rather than risk being shot
with the shotgun.
The only effect OF the first guard S
shots was the killing of the only bird
dog on the farm.

J r WILLIAMS. DISTRICT CLERK.
This officers reports show that he
claims the salaries OF two officers; first
as CLERK for the Eleventh judicial dis
triN; second as clerk for she Fifty-hfth
judicial district He also cldims that all
fees arising from city tax suits are not
subject 20 the provisions Of the fee bin.
are absolutely his and therefore not m
cluded in mis- reports. In answer 10 our
question undsrt what authority he made
these claims Mr.. Williams at our re-
quest, made written answer,
which is attached hereto and made
a part of this report. In this connection
would suggest that II MIR, Williams is
right in both his claims then it would
seem to US to be only fair and equitable
that the salaries OF his deputies should
NOT be charged entirely to the county, be-
cause the city tax suits for the last two
years represent about one-halt OF the en-
tire business Of The two courts and that
the expense of salaries in connection with
city tax suits should be borne by the dis
trict clerk and not by the county.
For your information We annex an abb
stract OF this officers annual reports for

STATEMENT BY MR.. pUpREE.

Regarding the report OF the committee
on the affairs Of the county clerks office,
Mr. e. r. Dupree. the incumbent OF that
office. says: Il keep record Of ell fees
collected by me as required by law and
can not see how any one or now COM
mittee of experts can make the statement
that the accounts in my office can not
be checked over. 1t would be a very sim =
pie matter to do. My reports show the
actual amount of cash taken in each day
and it is no trouble to check these up
from the official record books and thereby
determine their accuracy. The record of
fees collected by me is in my office sub
iect to inspction by any one. 1t was
during the campaign. when the committee
called upon me and ! was so deeply en-
crossed with other matters, that | did not
20 through the reports with the commit
tee, but | heard no complaint from them
regarding the manner in which my re-
ports were made out
II have already made application to
Judge Allen asking that my report be re-
ferred TO a committee of experts for their
examination and approval, and when they
have finished the inspection the public
may then correctly Judge As to whether
keep the proper fee books and have made
report in conformity with the law

STATEMENT by MR.. WILLIAMS.

Mr.. John b. Williams, district clerk,
stated to a Post representative yesterday
that he was fully prepared to answer every
complaint made by the committee OF in
vesttgation. The tabulated statement or
the amount | am said to be due the county
is an absurdity on its face said Mr..
Williams. THE idea, for instance. of
holding me accountable for SIS, 900 in fees
that were not collected Has any officer
ever collected all the fees that we're due?
Certa'niT not, for II is impossible to do
SO. That statement is bound to show for
itself aud hardly deserves any attention.

JOHN FARMER, COUNTY TREASURE
Notwithstanding the county treasurer

ers court every quarter, at the request
Of the treasurer we carefully rechecked
his receipts and disbursements from the
LIST day OF September. 1897, to the 90tn
day OF April, 1900, inclusive. We fou1d
not one single error. His accounts OF the
various funds are kept in la very credit
able manner. He has not alone accounted
10 this commission for every dollar re"
ceived and the balance claimed, but has
not claimed one dollar more than the sal
AIRY allowed him by law. Altogether, we
consider Mr.. Farmer to be a model off,
Ger, and cheerfuly commend him, as well
as his efficient deputy, Mr.. Fox, for the
correct and bllslness-like manner in
which the affairs of the treasurer's Of
fee are conducted.
A. w. M'KINNEY, TAX ASSESSOR.
The fee BILL by cutting down the com.
missions OF the tax assessor. caused 9
reduction Of about $1,000 per annum. Al.
lowing for the salary and one-fourth o.
the excess OF his commissions, there re.
mains on an average only about $4,000 FOL

great increase of labor in this office
caused by subdivisions OF land ana TIT
| plating of many new towns, all of which
have 10 be described in the block book
of The assessor, the amount above state(
is not sufhsten for the wor., and thu
consequence Is that the office records ar,
not in as good shape as the taxpayer!
have q right to expect. Mr.. Mckinney
the present incumbent, has in all respecu
complied with the law. He can not be ex
pected to pay out of his own pocket thu
money necessary TO put his office in

recommend that our commissioners cour
