FIVE MISSIONARIES KILLED.

China Gives Protection.

The state department, after con-
ference with the naval officials at
Washington and communication by ca
BILE with Consul General Lay at Can
ton, China, has arranged that that Of
fetal shall accompany the viceroy of
Canton on Chinese gunboat to Lien
chow, about 800 miles up the West
river, to investigate the massacre of
the five missionaries at that place.
One or two American naval officers
from the gunboats Squires or Callao
will accompany Mr.. Lay to assist in
the investigation.
The massacre vas due to the un-
happy action of Mrs. Machle, who, on
the refusal of some of the members
of a native procession to desist from
worshiping the idols they carried, seiz-
ed the idols and declined to restore
them to their owners. Thereupon the
Infatuated professionals surrounded
and destroyed the mission and as
saulted the inmates. They then MUIR
dered them and threw their bodies
into the river. The mob did not in
terfere with six French priests who
resided in the neighborhood.
AS result of the massacre an i'm

LIFE SENTENCES COMMITTED.
Political Prisoners in Russian Jails to
Be Released.


The text of the imperial manifesto
granting amnesty to political prison
ers, signed by the emperor, declares
that by virtue of the intention express
ed in the manifesto of October 80 to
accord the people inviolable principles
of civil liberty, free pardon is granted
egories which are enumerated, and al
so to participators in strikes and those
responsible for breaking contracts.
The pardon extends to those now in
prison and to those not yet tried or on
whom sentence has not yet been pro-
nounced.
Persons convicted of crimes over 10
years ago are to be released, and will
be sent to Siberia. Those who are
now colonists there will be allowed
after four years to choose their place
of residence, but are prohibited from
living in the capitals, st. Petersburg
and Moscow for three years. Convicts
not falling under these categories have
their SENTENCES reduced by one half
and persons condemned to imprison-
ment for life have their sentences re-
duced to Is years Imprisonment. The
pardon extends to all prisoners who
benefited by previous manifestos. Per-
sons arrested by imperial or admins
trative order are released. Those con-
demned to death are to have the pen
atty committed to Is years imprison-
ment at hard labor. The amnesty de-
cree includes political offenses COM
mitted up to October 80.

BURY VICTIMS OF MODS.
Pitiful Scenes at Odessa as 412 Bodies
of Jews Are Inferred.

Pitiful Scenes at Odessa as 412 Bodies
of Jews Are Inferred.
Odessa, Nov. 9.-Four hundred and
twelve Jews, victims of the massacres
of last week, were buried today. A
majority of the shops were closed, in
Guiding many of those belonging to
Christians. Thegsscenes of grief were
heartrendering and almost indescrib-
able as the bodies were placed in
trenches, each containing 20. Similar
funerals will continue for three days,
$40 of the victims being in such con-
dition today that they could not be
recognized. On each grave wreaths
were placed bearing the inscription:
Martyrs to the faith-victims of
the autocracy.''
The mobs completely devastated,
plundered and burned all the Jewish
houses in the suburbs of Dalnik. In
the large villages of Severinnovka and
Anatolievka and the towns of Ovidio-
pol, Maimaia, Akkesman, Ataki and
Winitza, many hundred persons are re-
ported to have been killed and thou
sands wounded.
The details of the last weeks mas
sacres at Odessa are gradually leak
ing out and only serve to add to the
horrors. 1t appears that the soldiers
slaughtered the defenders of Jewish
houses

BULLET ENDS LIFE OF CRIME.
Long Hunted Man Escapes Arrest by
Committing Suicide.

San CHARACTERIZATION Franklin
Andrews and his consort, Nulda Petrie,
who had fed after brutally attacking
and robbing William Ellis, horseman,
at Berkeley, whom they had lured
from Australia, were found dead in
their room at James Meagher's house
at 1853 McAllister street. The police
had surrounded the place. Andrews
was hiding in closet, when police
man by subterfuge entered the room.
Realizing that their hiding place was
discovered, the young woman per-
suaded the policeman to leave the
room. She locked the door and imme-
diately afterward two shots were
heard in the room. The police broke
in and the bodies of the fugitives with
bullet holes in their heads were found.
Andrews pistol was clutched in his
right hand where he was lying on the
floor. The woman rested on the bed
as If in sleep.
Andrews was charged with the muir
der of Eugene Bosworth at New Brit
ain, Conn. with the Staying of wo-
man at Troy, N. Y, and with the kill
ing of Bessie Bouton at Colorado
Springs. He returned with Ellis to this
country last month, having selected
the horseman as another victim for his
remarkable record of crime.

ARMY DESERTIONS
DURING LAST FISCAL YEAR 6533
QUITE THE SERVICE.
Major General AinsWorth in His An
nuaI Report Devoted Much Atten-
ton to the Subject-Canteen Not
Likely to Be Restored-Easy and
Luxurious Life of Soldiers Criticized.

Major General f. c. Ainsworth, the
military secretary, in his annual re-
port, devoted much attention to de-
sertions from the army. Those who
know how the canteen came to be
abolished, he states, are not hopeful
of its restoration; there is no likeli-
hood of any such increase in the sol
diers' pay as will Offset the greater in
ducemcnt offered in civil pursuits; the
comforts and even luxuries that are
furnished men in our service are even
only extravagant, but injurious in their
effect on men whose real business it
is to march and fight, encountered
with few comforts and no luxuries;
and the discipline and instruction to
which the soldier is now subjected are
not likely to be relaxed in the future.
He continues:
Our people have little real interest
in the army in time of peace and from
lne earliest days of the republic have
been accustomed to look. upon it as a
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistment in the army in time of
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
1t is safe to predict that desertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there shan have been
a radical change of public sentiment
toward the army and until the de-
serter shall come to be regarded as
the criminal that he is, to be ostra
cized and hunted down as relentlessly
as any other transgressor of the laws
There is no reason to look for such q
change of sentiment in the near fut
ure, and there are some who believe
that the change Will never come unit
our people shall have learned, through
national disaster and humiliation tina
the effective maintenance of an army
of professional soldiers is absolutel.

tional honor and life, and that thu

modern enemy can not be withstood b,

or half trained civilians.

During the year 274 battle flags il
custody of the war department wer
returned to the governors of the state
in which the regiments that bore ther
were raised. He says there still re

General Ainsworth recommends tina

that the confederate flags be given t

an Orgy.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Forty
thousand thirsty Minneapolitans came
to st. Paul Sunday for the purpose OF
getting liquor. Mayor Jones of Min
neapolis has placed the lid down on
Minneapolis, and every saloon in the
city was closed. This is the first time
in the history of the city that such a
thing has been done.
1t was a gala day for the saloon
men of st. Paul, and it is estimated
that $4,000 of Minneapolis money
was left in this city.
In st. Paul the 500 saloons never
close. The police report less drunken

Norval Richardson's story Of The Heart
OF Hope Dodd, Mead a CO..,
There was dark rasoality IN Vioksburg
just before the outbreak Of the war. A
scoundrel fell under a shower Of BULLETS.
Dying be drew q knife and 'there was q
crunohtng sound as the blade passed through
his antagonists body and scraped on the
brick beneath A good long knife, II the
victim was Of the ordinary diameter. Two
boys had been abducted to satisfy the
vengeance Of q rude and untmportant per-
son. The boys were bound and gagged
and thrust through q hole at the further
end Of cave In front Of which avengers
had built a deadly smothering FIRE. 1t Is
impossible not to record that there was a
dull thud' In the course Of the business.
The boys became Yankees and fought on the
Federal side.
The reader will recognize the boys, We
think, as soon as they reappear, though
the story delays the Official revelation Of
their identity. In all the plays and stories
that we recall. the soldiers who fought In the
civil war were considerable and polite people.
They shot one another but they exchanged
whisky and tobacco with the greatest
cordiality. In certain history immediate
to the time we find indeed a measure Of oom-
plant. Gen. Butler was charged With steal
ing spoons. It was bitterly written Of him:
Great Bethel boasts . hero
Who WAS not 10 the van,
New Orleans has Nero
Ben Butler u the man,
And universal teorn
And curses Of q nation
So lightly 10 be bonnet
But these things were not in any novel,
or later and more oonsiderate literature
that we remember. In plenty Of fiction
that we have seen, the war between the
North and South was most politely waged.
Our wish and even our trust favor the polite
ness, and yet here we find our warning
people grossly rude 20 one another The
soldiers Of the North keep their hats on in
the presence Of beautiful Southern ladies.
Men Of the Federal army jeer the lovely
heroine In circumstances where men In any
other employment and anywhere else In
the world would bite their tongues OF
before they would do such a thing.
II all comes out right In the end. The
two abducted Southern boys, though en-
gagged on the Federal side, have the right

Amanda OF the Mill.

Amanda Of the MIL has been described
as "A long story and q strong one'-in fact
II Il altogether too long and more ponderoua
and elaborate in treatment than the theme,
which Is Of local rather than universal
interest, warrants. In short, II Il a literary
craft In which the engine Is too powerful
for the boat. Moreover, II IL an unpleasant
tale to read, with its long succession Of
narrowing details, lie wearisome dialect OF
the Southern mountains and lie unduly
protracted denouement. The writer's style
L lacking In simplicity, Il indirect and
labored with an occasional slip In English,
like Il can't never be. which the rules OF a
primary grammar could adjust, and the
Introduction OF words like -preciousment'
and sbeautiless,' which have or ought 70
have Henry james copyright.
The story IL q curious mixture Of grim
realism and ford melodrama; an up 10 date
problem novel, With the creahng machinery
Of the old time plot-the heroine, q mill girl,
adopted by a wealthy woman and return
ing with foreign costumes and q foreign
accent TO be a benefactress Of her people;
the hero a man Of the people Of doubtful
birth and incorporate habits who Tises
10 be the leader Of the strike and discovers
that he Il the son Of the wicked oppresSors
the heavy villain: the mill owner himself.
The problem presented Is the unhappy
condition Of tho mill worxers-the white
slaves In the Southern mountains, but the
readers sympathy Il exhausted rather than
s1cited By TOO frequent repetition Of horrors
and too minute elaboration Of shocking
Details. The dramatic interest focuses
upoa Amanda Of the nm, who has an en-
