position a Schevningen. In voice brok-

"Guarding" the Soldiers.

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 2O.-The battalion
of the Twelfth regiment encamped at
Manila Park near here spent quiet and
uneventful night. A heavy guard was
thrown around the camp @in expectation
that an attempt might be made to stone
the sentries, but the precaution was un-
necessary as none of the strikers ven-
tured near the camp during the night.
To-day the striking miners strung Gordon
of guards on the outside Of the sentry
line Of the camp. They say they have
done this to protect the soldiers and keep
their own men out of the camp as the
leaders say they have no business there.

Missionary to China Reassures Her
Friends in Minnesota.
Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 20.-Some time ago
several Of the Minneapolis papers re-
ported that Miss Christana Williams, who
was sent to China as a missionary by
the Minneapolis branch Of the Missionary
Society Of the Methodist church, had been
heard from, and that the safety of the
missionaries at the places where she was
located had been threatened and that
they we're unable to secure any protection.
This caused much alarm among her
friends and relatives in Duluth, from
which city she went to China.
A letter has just been received from
Miss Williams, written from Chung King,
which says they are In perfect safety
there; that If there should be any trouble
there are several gunboats in the harbor
under whose protection they could place
themselves within half hours time.
Three hundred miles from there there
was an uprising a few days before the
letter was written, and some Christian
natives were killed, but none of the mis-
sionaries was molested.
