COURTS RETURN TO PEKIN
Will Be by Another Route Than Announced.
Action Against the Boxers.

New York, June IA special cable
dispatch to the Sun from Pekin says:
a telegram from Singanfu announces
that an edict has been issued changing
the route which the court will follow
on its return to Pckin. 1t will be to
Weihuifu, in the province of Honan,
thence by boat along the river and
grand canal to Techou, thence overland
to Paotingfu, and then by rail to the
capital.
Ii Hung Chang has sent proclama-
tons to the local officials along the
route to make preparations. The court
is afraid to travel by way of Tien Tsin
or the disturbed districts in central
and southern Chilli.
The route now decided upon is longer
than the one originally selected. The
part of it between Techou and Pao-
tingfu is the most difficult. There is
no direct important highway. and
there are no inns.
Further details have been received
of the rebellion in Chill. 1t appears
that Tien Lob Slang, in order to resist
the collection of church indomnlticS,
organized what is known as the Organ
lied Villages Society in Shenchou.
Seventy other villages Joined heartily
afterward, and now there are many
lawless characters and soldiers OF the
regular army to the number Of 10000
or 30 600 in 700 villages connected with
the movement. Some of the rebels are
engaged in making weapons. Ii Hung
Chang admits that Col. Hiato ShcnS
has failed to put down the insurgents.
and the French are now operating
against them.
The provincial treasurer Of Choufu
has requested the missionaries to pre-
sent evidence of their accusations
against the Boxer chiefs, who will be
punished if convicted. He has also
asked for Il secondary list Of all Box
ers who We're specially active or di-
rcctly implicated in outragng Chris
tians This list will be handed to the
local magistrates and those whose
names appear on it viii he kept under
surveillance. They will be required to
give bonds to remain orderly. In case
Of misconduct they will be liable TO
punishment for all their offences.
This is the best action yet taken
against the Boxers in the province of
Chilli 1t vii, act as a strong deterrent.
Many converts and others assert that
the Boxer leaders have been to leni-
entity treated. especially in Pckin.
where foreign authority has failed to
trace out and properly punish the act
ual leaders This resulted in embold-
ening the Boxers and ntimidating 9th
crs who doubted that the Boxer move
ment was suppressed.
Nine missionaries having consulted
with the Shansi deputy as to an escort.
have decided to start for that province
on June Is. The English missionaries
will carry passports from the British
minister. The party will consist of
four China inland missionaries, two
English Baptists. one American. ono
Scandinavian and one member Of Pig
.;ott's mission.
The governor of Shansi IS adjudicat-
ing the difficulties of the missionaries
and is advancing money to relieve the
distress among the converts.

NO GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Shown in New York. Yet Who Knows What
Will Be Done?

New York. June 1.-THE intimation
Of Sir Thomas Upton that he would
like to arrange Il race across the Allan
TIC between the Constitution and Sham
rock III was conveyed to the members
of the New York Yacht Club, tonight.
Great surprise was expressed at the
possibility of such an undertaking.
Secretary j. V. s. Oddie had heard
nothing of the proposition officially,
but said that if Sir Thomas Upton
had preached the idea it must be fcas-
lille.
An ocean race for single mastcd
yachts would be new. Would 90-fOoters
stand the strain? Well, Sir Thomas
must know If he says he is willing to
arrange such a race with the Consti-

York Yacht Club. said he did not be-

II IS this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic cstsrrh. The whole sys-
tenn il saturated with catarrh. Thisdis-
covery marked IN important advsncein
the history of medical science. The
medical profession had long been crop
ing to discover the meaning OF the stub
born and distressing sfter-effects of Ia
grippe. All remedies seemed alike in
adequate.
As soon e DR.. Hartman announced
that It was his belief that the after.
effects OF Ia grippe was simply sys-
temic catarrh, a great advance was made
in the treatment of these cases. 1t now
only remained to find reliable remedy
for systemic catarrh.
Here q new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
Of no systemic remedy for catarrh.
Other physicians regarded catarrh as
blood disease and had been in the habit
of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be Of no possible use in
systemic catarrh.
For q time Peruna enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the only systemic ca
tarrh remedy known. It was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an.
other remedy for this exasperating con-
dition.
Since then, however, q great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
temic catarrh, and o great deal Of val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But it still re-
mains true that Peruna is the only spe-
cif1c remedy for the after-efects Of Ia
grippe. The demand for this remedy,
in consequence of the present epidemic
of la grippe, Is enormous.
Mr.J.P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: being advised to
try Peruna for la grippe and asthma,
did SO with good results. l had been
feeling very unwell for long time, and
had asthma quite bad till came West,
when got better of the asthma, but was
not well. tried a great many remedies
for it, but nothing was able to cure me.
81 took three bottles of Peruna andI
am happy to say that it is the best med
icine l ever used. / am satisfied that
Peruna is good medicine, and as such
have commended it to several of my
friends with good results. 1t is seldom
give testimonial, but think this due
you. hope others may be benefited
through you and your medicines.
Every one should read DR.. Hartman's
latest lecture on la grippe. This lecture
will be sent free by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.
