Railroad at Kittery had hairlifting
experience one day recently. He was
at his post on the crossing. tagging a
train. when the Shifter came along
from the wharf. and in getting out of
the way of the train he was tagging,
he stepped directly in front OF the
shifting engine. He was knocked
down between the rails. and the loco
motive passed over him as far as the
ash pan of the fire box. The engineer
managed to stop his engine before the
pan could touch him. and if it had, it
would have crushed him to death.

Burning of Imperial Palace at
Pekin and Its Effect.

Washington, April 1s-The secretary
Of state received a cable message this
morning from Mr. Squires, United States
charge at PelSin dated Pekin, April is
saying that Winter palace occupied by
Won Waldersee accidentally destroyed
by fire. General Schwartzhon, chief of
staff. fatally burned"
This incident may prove more serious
than appears on the surface. It is known
from diplomatic communications receiv-
ed IN Washington that intense feeling
has been aroused among the Chinese
over the occupation Of the empress dow
ayers palace by Count Won Waldersee
and his military staff. This was graph
ically set forth in a letter recently re-
celve1 here from one Of the foremost Of
ficials at Pekin. He described in detail
the manner in which the palace had
been turned over to military uses and
commented upon the indignity which it
involved to the Chinese people and to tie
imperial family. Moreover it 5 known
that this military occupation of the i'm
perlal palace was moving cause for the
rejection of all Overtures for the return
of the imperial family to Peki1. From
the Chinese standpoint it was impossible
TO even consider the return of the i'm
perial family so long as the commander
in chief of the allied forces was in &C
tual occupation of the empress palace.
Now that the palace Is entirely de-
stroyed II may have a bearing, en- on the re-
is no longer the objection that the pail
ace is occupied by the foreign commander
yet a new objection is created in the re-
moval of the palace itself for under Chi
nese usage the imperial family must oc
cupy exclusive quarters reserved for them
within the prohibited precincts.
Berlin April 1S-F9eld Marshal Won
Waldersee reports that the best part of
the winter palace at Pekin was destroyed
by fire last evening Gen. SchwarzSopten
met his death in the fire. the cause of
which is not explained. He adds that the
French and Japanese troops gave the
most prompt assistance The field marshal
and the other officers lost nearly every
thing.
A dispatch from Pekin says no hope re-
mains that Major General Schwarzkopf.
the chief of fast of Field Marshal Won
WalderSee, was saved. His body has not
been found and it is supposed. to have
been completely consumed. So far
known General Schwarzkopen was the
only victim A number of documents were
saved The quarters of six officers, be-
sides those over Waldersee and his staff,
were burned out.
