PRIEST SLICED AND BURNED.
Terrible Cruelties on Missionaries
Are Reported.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 15.-Under the
sanction and with the approval of the
United States minister and the officers
commanding the American troops in
Pekin, George r. Tewksbury has been
prosecuting inquiries, debating terms
and arranging indemnitieS in the VIII
lagos around Tung Chow. Tewksbury's
report says his investigation brought
20 light cruelties of the most heIush
and barbarous description as practiced
upon the native converts in that neigh
bOrhOOd by the Boxers. Some of the
Christians and all their relatives and
connections shared in whatever pun
1shment was melted out to one. Some
were buried alive. others burned at the
stake, and still others were first sat
uTated with kerosene and then set on
fire A Belgian Roman Catholic priest
had strips of flesh cut out of his limbs
and the holes filed with kerosene,
which was then ignited."
Almost as hOrrifying a description,
also brought by the steamer Empress
of China today, is given by Rev. G J.
TjadeT of the Swedish Protestant mis-
sion, of the murder Of Rev. G. Neon
nell, Mrs. Mcconnell. their baby boy.

Rev. John Young and Mrs. Young and

little party, fleeing for their lives. were
Overtaken by twenty soldiers and q
mob of coolies The soldiers hacked
the missionaries to pieces with their
swords, the women being forced to look
at the murder and mutilatiOn of the
men and the baby. The bodies were
thrown on the road and were still in
the dust seven days after the murder.

WOMEN STILL BITTER.
Daughters of Confederecy Object to
Word National

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 15.-The con-
ference of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy, was opened here to-
day. A motion of Mrs. O'Brien Of
Virginia, that the organization be not
spoken of as national, but merely as
United Daughters of, the Confederacy,
was adopted
In announcing the motion as carried.
President Mrs. Weed said the word
''Nationar' was offensive to the
Daughters.
Mrs. Weed then delivered the presi-
dents annual address. She said there
are now 10000 members and over 400
chapters, the result of the faithful
work Of women Of the south"
There are chapters in New York.
Philadelphia, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma" she continued, and as
long as time endures, southern women
will stand first in their devotion to the
cause of the south and the glorious
past"
Mrs. Weed ELECTED applause when
she called upon those present to edu-
cate their children as true southerners
in the full knowledge of the war and
the causes that led to il. She said:
They should be taught why their
fathers gave up everything, even life
itself, for the principles involved"

AIDED THEM TO ESCAPE
REFUSED TO OBEY IMPERIAL
ORDER OF MASSACRE.

London, Nov. 15.-The Rev Evan
Morgan, the last foreigner to leave
Sian Flu has arrived here. His life and
the lives of the ether missionaries in
Shen ST province were saved by Gov
ernor Tuan, a kinsman of the notori-
Gus Prince Tuan.
Governor Tuan. when he received a
decree from Pekin to kill all foreign
ers warned Mr.. Morgan and his col
leagues and gave them an escort Mr..
Morgan describes the governor as "a
brave, friendly and noble man, who. at
the risk of his life, saved US The only
foreigners left in Shansi are twenty
priests. mostly Italians and twelve
nuns, who are occupying a sort of fort
near Sian Flu. defended by machine
guns"
1t is thought probable that Father
Hugh of London is in the fort, and
possibly, it is to relieve this party that
Count Won Waldersee's expedition,
under Colonel Won Wartenburg. has
gone from Pekin.

shouted to the woman to come and aid
him IN the search.
She needed no invitation for such an
errand. Ia a little while they found
the body Of the boy. Life was not
quite extinct, for he breathed family
for four or five minutes after Mrs.
Brooks and the foreman reached him.
All consciousness was gone, however.
In this, at least death had been merci-
ful, for the boy could not have suf-
fered any but momentaTy pain. A
sheet was brought from ne Brooks
residence and laid over the body. Then
came the painful duty Of breaking the
news to the dead boys family.
Inquest Is Begun.
A messenger was sent to Mr. Sharp.
As gently as words could convey So
fearful bereavement he was informed
of what had happened. Mrs Sharp
was stunned by the tragedy Her grief
and the sorrow of the other members
of the family was pitiful beyond ex-
preston A conveyance was secured
and tie corpse taken to the stricken
home.
Later Justice J. P. Gabbott was mott
fed and an inquest was begun. 1t was
impossible to complete it, however, on
account of the absence of the engineer
and fireman, who had continued their
run wien they found they could be of
no service to the lad. The jurors Sc

+. G. Daily, who was working on the
grade near where the accident Oc-
CURED, told his story. He was $50
Yards away from the scene of the IA
Udlity. He saw the pony rush upon
the track, but clump OF bushes pre-
vented him from seeing the collision.
Daily didn't hear the engine bell ring
or the whistle bl0w.
l. g Daley, brother of the other
witness, was $50 yards from the point
where the fatality took place. He
looked in time to see the pony on the
pilot, but he didn't see the boy at all.
Neither did he hear the whistle or the
bell. Mrs. Brooks story was pTaCti-
cally as detailed above, with the addi-
ton that she didn't hear either bell or
whistle
At this point the inquest was ad-
JSuFned until Saturday in order TO
await the arrival of the engineer and
fireman.
Was Peculiarly Distressing.
The accident has some particularly
distressing features. in that such a lit
tie thing made it possible. Mr.. Sharp
is a sheepma.. with interests in the
southern part or the state and in Ida
no. When he goes out on his trips he
usually takes one of the children with
him. It was his intention to start yes
terday morning and to take Clyde
He forgot to mention the outing to
the little fellow at breakfast, and when
he thought to mention it the boy had
gone to the stable to get his pony. The
father hurried after him, but when ne
arrived the boy had gone So anxious
was he to get away to school that he
didn't saddle the pony, but rode ID
bareback. This made it possible for
him TO get away before his father
could catch him.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not vet been completed, but it will
probably be conducted tomorrow or
Sunday.

MOUNTAIN STATES
PROBLEM SERIOUS IN SOUTH
ERIN PART OF STATE.
Rock Springs Mines Unable to Cope
With the Demand Because of
Scarcity of Miners.

Boise, Ida, Nov. 15-There is a seri-
Gus coal famine in this section. For
some weeks there has been a scarcity
of the fuel and there is no prospect
that the difficulty will be overcome
soon.
Information from the mines at Rock
Springs. where most of the supply
comes from, is to the effect that they
cannot meet the demand. The COM
panies are handicapped by scarcity of
miners and are unable to open up new
mines that have been partially devel-
Oped. The deHSand has been growing
rapidly and the mining facilities can
not be cOTrespOndingly enlarged.
If cold snap comes it will cause
very serious Inconvenience, as the coal
now coming in is snatched up before it
has been in town two hours. Reports
from other points on the Short Line
are to the same effect.
