We're armed with revolvers
Many of the Boxers were killed be-
cause they did not expect an attack, and
most of them were sleeping. The Boxers
became like wild beasts when they learn
ed that the foreigners were attacking
them. They fought furiously, but fired
wildly, shooting many of their own com
rades in the darkness
General Tung Fuh Slang ordered heavy
guns turned on the foreigners and order
ed other guns turned on the walls where
they were weakest, near the gates, so
that they might be preached and the Box
ers could attack from the rear.
The foreigners also went mad and kill
ed all their women and children. shooting
them with their revolvers instead of fir
ing on the Boxers.
When the heavy guns were loaded, they
were all fired simultaneously, and the for
sisners were swept away like grass he
ing cut down. The Boxers rushed upon
them and hacked and stabbed at the dead
and the survivors. Many foreigners when
the heavy guns We're fired went back into
The buildings, hoping to escape.
The Boxers pursued them and were
still in the buildings when the guns were
brought nearer and the buildings were
destroyed and burned. The foreigners
who had sought refuge there and their
pursuers were all burned together.
Boxers Like Demons.
The Boxers were like demons When
there were no more foreigners to kill,
they fell upon the dead bodies in the
courtyard and mutilated them They
cut off the heads of some and carried
them through the streets on their rifles,
shouting hercely.
They then attacked the native Chris
tian quarters and massacred all who
would not join them. They outraged wo-
men and knocked out the brains of chill
dren with the butts of their rifles. The
streets of the Tartar city were every
where streaming with blood.
Part of the foregoing story is ascribed
to a courier who brought the dispatch to
Sheng, though it is asserted that the
latter communicated the dcsEls verbally

The chief objections to the acetylene
headlight were that gas would burn

freezing of the water in winter.

Novel-Reading People.
From the Phila. North American.

From the Phila. North American.
Never before were more novels being
read than today. The latest success al
though published only two weeks ago,
has already reached a sale of 10000
copies. There are five novels of recent
publication which are selling in the
hundreds of thousands, and there are
four more that are nearing the 100, 900
mark. More than million copies of
these new stories have been sold in this
country alone.
One interesting fact about these books
is that all but one are American in au-
thorship, and American in scene and
plot and character. History is the
handspring of some of them: strenuous
portrayals of life make the others
attractive. 1t has been only few years
since the rage for sex novels and prob
lem romances swept over English fiction
and threatened to mudde the whole
stream of popular literature. Now
America does England splendid service
in sending new wave to wash away
the dirt of the old one.
Mr.. Howells and others have said that
women make the success or the failure
of the modern novel. To a large extent
this is very true, but there are thous-
ands of men who like to read good
story, and they have been among the
buyers of the successful novels. They
are fond of rattling yarn with blood
and muscle in it, and women undoubt-
edly like the same thing.
People can be judged by what they
read, and according to that criterion
the novel readers of the day make a
fine showing for themselves. OF course,
they also make comfortable profits for
the authors, who no longer burn mid
night oil in the garret, but have their
country places and automobiles and all
the comforts of steady income May
their success continue!

Miss wilkins never has crossed the

"Pcking news of July says that Gen
eral Tuan Fuh Slang in disobedience of
imperial orders was about to use guns.
Legations and the government will be in
peril"
This news is corroborative of that CON
tanned in recent cablegram from Con
sui General Goodnow at Shanghai, al
though the consul generals dispatch
gave his Peking news the date of the
9th, saying that the final attack upon
the legations with guns was about to be
gin on the 7th Of July. 1t is surmised
here that Mr.. Goodnow got his news
from Sheng. who is certainly in position
to secure the first news from Peking.

General Wang Wen Shao, although
gray haired and 20 years old, valiantly
led his troops in person. He was killed,
and his force, which was completely out
numbered, was routed.
throughout the night repeated at
tacks were made on the legation, but
these were invariably repulsed with
heavy losses. Toward the end of the
third watch, about ) n. M, the allies had
practically defeated the besiegers, who
were wayering and gradually withdraw
ing. But just then General Tung Fuh
Slang arrived from the vicinity of Ten
tsin with Il large force of Kan-Su braves.
BY this time the walls of the legation
had been battered down, and most of the
buildings were in ruins. ManK of the al
lies had fallen at their posts. and the
small band that was left took refuge in
the wrecked buildings, which they en-
deavored hastily to fortify.
Upon them the fire of the Chinese ar
tillery was now directed. Toward sunrise
it was evident that the ammunition of
the allies was running out, and at 7
O'Clock, as the advances of the Chinese
in force failed to draw a response, a rush
was determined upon.
"Thus, standing together. as the sun
rose, the little remaining band, all Euro
peans, met death stubbornly. There was
a desperate hand to hand encounter. The
Chinese lost heavily, but as one man fell
others advanced, and finally, overcome
by overwhelming odds, every one of the
Europeans remaining was put to the
sword in the most atrocious manner"

slain by the foreign guards.
General Tung Fuh Siang's troops and
the Boxers then endeavored to capture
