A PEACE VICTORY.
Chinese FuncraIize Native Christi
ians.

Chinese Funcralize Native Christ
Pekin, Dec. 20.-The officials of Tung
Chow have given "a number of, native
Christians who were massacred last
year remarkable funeral. This ac-
ton was taken in accordance with an
agreement between the missionaries
and the officials by which the mission
aries were to refrain from demanding
the punishment of those guilty of muir
dering the Christians if the officials
would make public atonement for the
crimes and impress the people with re-
spect for missionaries and converts.
The funeral procession traversed the
principal streets of the walled city of
Tung Chow. There were seventy cor-
fins to be buried, and these were fol-
lowed by hundreds of relatives of. the
victims. The procession was composed
of a company of Chinese cavalry, a
company of infantry, several bands
and hundreds of men carrying garJy
funeral emblems.
The procession took two hours to
pass the reviewing stand, where were
gathered the city officials. Gen. Ma,
commander of the Chinese troops who
besieged Tfen Tsin; Mr.. Conger, Amer
lean minister to China, and many mis-
sionaries.
An immense crowd witnessed the
funeral services at the cemetery. The
Chinese troops, the police and the fun
eral attendants formed in square
with the officials, the missionaries and
the white clad mourners in the center,
near the graves. Chinese officials from
fifty villages where the Christian con-
Verts had been massacred attended the
funeral and bowed before banners as
they eulogized the Christians for hav-
ing died in defense of their faith. These
officials subsequently signed documents
guaranteeing protection to the Chinese
Christians if they would return to their
homes.
After the funeral services in the
temple the Chinese officials rendered a
banquet to the missionaries and the
converts. Similar funerals will be held
in other towns.

MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION.
George Gardner Knocks Out Kid
Carter at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 2O.-George
Gardner of Lowell, Mass, and kid"
Carter of Brooklyn, N. Y, met tonight
at Mechans Pavilion under the aus
pieces of the San Francisco Athletic
Club, in what was announced as a con-
test for the middleweight champion
ship of the world. Gardner clearly es-
tablished his right to the title by
knocking out Carter in the eighth
round. The result clearly emphasized
the fact that Gardeners fistic superior =
ity over Carter is complete and as
the latter recently knocked out Joe
Walcott, the victory is significant. To-
nights contest was one of the fiercest
ever witnessed in this city. Gardner
was the aggressor from the start. In
the eighth Gardner rained blow after
blow on his practically beaten oppon-
ent's face. the latter finally going to
the floor and remaining there until ten
seconds had been counted by Referee
Jim Mcdonald.

claims to remember distinctly looking
at his watch at Thirty-sixth street,
and when he felt for it at Fortieth
street to see if he was running on time,
he found the chain had been cut and
the watch was missing. Deach re-
ported the robbery at the car shed,

ssl MILITARY y F%usuOps
Lieut.. Col. c. A. Gordon of the
First Infantry was asked yesterday for
his views upon the expenditure of the
appropriation of $40, 900 that was made
by the Legislature for the military.
This was information that was wanted
by the Governor, too, who has written
all the field officers in the state, re-
ouesting their views as TO the best
means of expendng the appropriation
with the most advantage to the troops
Col. Gordon will reply to the Gov
ernor, and it is not improbable that
the opinion he expresses will be the
only one of its tenor the Governor re-
ceives Col. Gordon has taken posi-
ton that offers future benefits that
would accrue to the military as It's
most potent argument.
Il favor the continuance of the plan
That was adopted to aid the companies
by contributing toward their armory
rent" said Col. Gordon. That
might take $4,000. The bal
ance consider, should be
held in reserve. I do not think that
any effort TO hold an encampment
should be made upon so slender en-
amount.
But NOulu not tIldt Hull tiV nm
tary with the Legislature and prevent
any future appropriation of even as
much as $20,0O0?" Col. Gordon was
asked.
Il do not think So he replied. "on
The contrary. I believe it would I'M
press the Legislature that the military
is not disposed to spend money just
because it has been appropriated but
that it would rather save portion OF
the appropriation for a year, If 1t
would mean that another year a gen
eral encampment might be held. the
Legislature would be impressed with
the futility of expecting the military
to accomplish anything with so slen-
der an appropriation, and believe that
it would increase ii for other years.

1T IS IMPORTANT
To know what You Are Taking
When Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to con-
sumption, and the Importance of early
and judicious treatment of Catarrh.
whether located in the head, throat or

emphasized.

as the moral law and the forms in
which they are adm,nist ered. mum rous

The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effect

tarrh remedies il is almost entirely a
matter Of guesswork as to what you
are taking into your system, as the
proprietors, while making all sorts OF
claims as TO what their medicines will
do, always keep II a close secret as to
what they are.
The success and popularity OF the new
catarrh cure. Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's, is largely because ii not only cures
catarrh but BECAUSE catarrh sufferers
who use these tablets know what they

when It is remembered that the cocaine

the contest, as neither man needed his
warnings regarding wrestling. Ben>
