In my lecture las, week called

OF starting right--of thoroughly
comprehen,ling Fundamental prin-

sic value theory and the other is
the quanintive idea. If the vol

just why or how this is no man

CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED
Twelve Europeans and One Hundred
Natives Are Killed.

Pekin, December 6.-Captains Wingate
and Ryder, who accompanied the eXpedl-
ton to Kalgan, returned today. During
their absence they visited several places
to which the Germans did not go, but
they encountered no opposition. Ihey
learned that some twelve E2ropeahs'
mostly Swedish and Norwegian mission
aries, besides Captain Waits Jones. were
maseacred at Kwei Hua Cheng by or
ders of the tao tai and that one hundred
native Christians had also been put 10
death. The details of the outrages are
most revolving. Captains Wingate anu
Ryder visited the Belgian station, where
the priests in charge and three thousand
converts had sustained a prolonged siege
by boxers and imperial troops. They
were informed that other stations further
west are stlll besieged, not only by box
ers. but by Chinese troops acting under
orders from the authorities. and this IN
spite of the assurances by the plentpo-
tentiaries that the government rs doing
its utmost to suppress the outrages.
Chinese carrying concealed weapons are
arrested daily in Tekin. Natives allege
that December 18th has been fixed as the
date for n rising against against the for
eieners in the capital No alarm is felt,
however, as the troops here are suih-
ciently numerous to deal with a rising
should one occur.

MONEY FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Coin for Circulation in the Islands Is
q Necessity.

Washington, December THE cabinet
meeting today was largely devoted to a
discussion Of the question of coinage Tor
the Philippine islands and as result 1t
is probable that the secretary OF war will
request a hearing on the subject before
one Of the committees of congress. Near
ly all the business of the Islands Is
transacted I'm Mexican dollars and army
commissaries and other supplies with
United States money are at times great
ly embarrassed in making purchases
from the Filipnos by the fact that know
ing nothing of our money or its value the
latter often refuse to accept IT. Inc
proposition which seems To havt met
with favor with the administration Is TO
purchase silver bullion at the present
market price and coin II into distinctive
dollars having a gold value of about 80
cents each. These dollars probably Will
contain a little less silver than the pres
emit standard dollars. 1t is hoped that by
the early action of congress the new
coins NAV be nut into circulation before a
great while. The cabinet also discussed
tho house bill revising the war revenue
act. All of the members think that the
cut is too deep and agree that II
would he unwise to make the cut greater
than $50. 00N, 600.
