Pekin (By Cable) e).-United States
Minister Conger has presented to The
Chinese Fyreign Office 4 letter from
DR.. Canright, the American mission
airy at Cheng Tu Flu, describing the
massacre of native Christians there in
July. DIR. Canright says that II con
verts were killed by Boxers, and that
the local officials refused to take meas.
ures against the Boxers. The letter
was written August 2. The mission.
aries we're then guarded by troops, and
we're unable to leave the mission build
ings, except when escorted by soldiers
DR.. Canright's recent telegram says
the situation is worse. The native
papers declare the trouble is due 70
the collection OF excessive indemnitles
for Christians on account OF the
troubles of 1900, and owing to the
Christians arrogant attitude under
foreign protection.
London (By Cabls).-Cabliug from
Shanghai, under date OF September II,
the correspondent OF the Daily Mail
says that Cheng Tu Flu, capital of the
Province OF SEE Chuen, is surrounded
by 10000 Boxers, but that their at
tempts to take the city have SO far
failed. Without immediate help, how
ever, Cheng Tu Flu must fall.
"A prominent Chinese merchant tells
me-" continues the Daily Mails cores
pondent, that il Cheng Tu Flu is taken
a rising in the provinces is inevitable.
To further complicate matters, the
feuds between Protestant and Catholic
converts are now worse than at any
previous stage. and magiSterisl juris-
diotion, in various matters has been
unwarrantedly interfered with by priests
and missionaries"

Problem Ia New Cuban Tax.

Owing to the peculiar Dhraseology
of the decree OF President Palma rela-
tive to taxes on spirituous liquors and
wines. as the same was received in
Washington from Minister Squiers,
grave doubt exists as to whether the
heavy increase and new taxes propos-
ed are import taxes or purely internal
revenue taxes. The difference is vital
to American exporters in this line OF
trade, and in answer to numerous in
quiries, steps have been taken to clear
up the ambiguity.

Manila (By Cable).-Captain Billo,
leader OF ladrones in Bulacan Prov

ders and who has been an outlaw for
years, was killed by the native constab-
alary last Friday. Billo was surround

stabuIary then shot him to death.

AtQs Per TOn.

Chicago, H. (Special) .-Anthrac
coal sold in Chicago at the highest
figure quoted in years. The Weaver
Coal Company sold several orders ol
a high grade at $2s a ton and some al
$2o. These prices, while not general
are in the face of hard coal famine ir
the city, and they indicate what may
be expected unless a supply OF anthra.
cite soon reaches town
Dealers declare that an average price
on anthracite cannot possibly be quoted
because OF the existing emergency
where those who must have coal AZ
any price are practically bidding to Sc
cure what they can of the scant supply
in the Chicago yards. Soft coal has
gone up in price to 10 per cent with
in few days, and coke. the best sub
stitute for hard coal, was quoted at Sra
to SI3 ton, double the price asked
September I. While citizens are
alarmed at the gravity OF the situation,
dealers are also worried, as they have
not been in a long time over the out,
look. A speedy settlement OF the
strike would adjust matters in time and
prices would drop to a reasonable
figure, but the uncertainty OF the Iu-
ture is causing fright among citizens
and dealers alike.

however, the lights went ont and the

a point where, by an impact light as a

plunged the hall into the solitude where

be out watching outdoor sport of any kind.
However, at Athletic Park, Homecoming,
A,here was warm time-a real "hOt time in

"Our Own" and Homecoming played a
game of ball the like of which has never
been seen on Georges Creek. For innings
not run was made. 1t was nip and tuck,
and both teams played perfect ball A little

Maurice has improved wonderfully since his
last appearance here two years ago. His
work was of the up-to-date variety, and his
control and Judgment at every stage were

That the game was lost was no fault of his,
as only two little hits were made on his de-
livery Besides, he struck out ten men-a
record of which he may well be proud.
Owen Jackson caught him in good style,
and but for the one error in the ninth his
would have been IL fautleSs game.
Tom Jackson on first base, Davis at second
Taylor at short and Capt Gunnett on third
played fast and furious throughout the
entire game.
In the out-teld Gerlach. George Gunn,tt
and Dixon were at the right places at every
stage Dixon did the very best batting of
any man on either team, having two hits to
his credit.
For the locals Patterson was the bright
particular star, as his twrlng was of the
very best kind.
Ralcy, the receiving general, was Il "top-
notcher."
The support given the battery was excel
lent in every department.
Charles McDOnough umpired the game.
