THE WORST IS NOW KNOWN
Murder of Foreigners In Pekin Is
OHlcially Announced.
MESSAGE FROM SHAN TUNG
A List of Foreign Ministers and
Attachesof Legations In Pekin
Who Were Victims of the
Fanatical Boxers.
An official telegram was received at
Shanghai Sunday night from the gov
ernor of Shan Tung stating that a
breach was made in the wall of the
British logation at Pekin after a gallaut
defense ami when all the ammunition

killed.
BUTCHERY WAS COMPLETE.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
London Daily Express, on the alleged
authority of couriers who brought the
etory, gives a very sensational ac
count. He says:
“Maddened with hunger, after hav
ing been without food for many days,
the members of the legations and the
guards made a sortie on tho night of
June 110th and killed 200 Chinese in
nu unexpected attack. General Tung
Full Siang, enraged over tho loss of
so many men, brought up heavy guns
and Prince Tuau gave tho order that
every foreigner must be destroyed.
His words were:
“Destroy every foreign vestige and
make China a sealed book to all west
ern powers.”
The following is a list of the foreign
ministers nad attaches of tho legations

The European governments have
received from their respective repre
sentative at Sbanghafa dispatch from
the governor of Shan Tung, dated
July 7th, reporting that tbe European
troops made a sortio from Pekin and
killed 20J of General Tung Fuh
Siaug’s forces and that the boxers
were mounting gnus to make a breach
in the defenses.
Under date of July 12th the gov
ernor of Shang Tung wired ns follows:
“Native soldiers and boxers Lave
been atiacking the legations for some
hours, but have not yet effected au en
trance. They are now all bombarding
with cannon to make a breach for a
heavy ons'aught. I fear that all the
ministers, and the government as
well, aro in great danger. The gov
ernment is intensely anxious.”
Finally came the news from Shang
hai that a breach had been made and

The Democratic state campaign

the foreigners killed. All the dates
probably refer to a much earlier period,
but the presumption is that the suc
cessive dispatches give an outline of
what has happened. The Europeans
having reached the end of their re
sources, made a desperate sortie and
then bravely met their fate. Tho de
tails of the horrible story will proba
bly never be known.
GOOD WORK AT TIEN TSIN.
Admiral Selymonr’s dispatchs give
the latest news regarding the situation
at Tien Tsin. Telegrams to the Asso
ciated Press show that the operations
on July 11th were a brilliant success.
The Japanese cavalry and a mobile
mounted battery did splendid work.
It was unfortunate that the allies did
not have more cavalry to purse the
Hying enemy. Four hundred Chinese
were killed and six guns captured. At
uocu the settlements were again vici
ously shelled from the native city and
the hospitals and other buildings were
repeatedly hit. The moral effect of
the successes of the allied forces upon
the Chinese is believed to be very
great.
RUSSIAN ENVOY BOILED TO DEATH.
A dispatch to The Chicago Record
from St. Petersburg, July 11, via
Paris, July 14, says: The czar has
received with great emotion the dread
ful dotails of the catastrophe at Pekin.
Tears coursed down his majesty’s
cheeks as he read the cablegram from.
Admiral Alexieff, at Port Arthur, con
firming the horrible details of the
assassination of M. DeGiers, which
merely confirms rumors that had al
ready reached Russia.
The admiral declares that the Rus
siau envoy was dragged through the
streets by the Boxers, insulted, beaten
and tortured, and even thrown into a
great kettle and boiled to death. Then
tho remains were thrown to the dogs.
While M. DeGiers was being disposed
of, the fanatieal mob danced around
the caldron.
Mme. DeGiers, Admiral AlexiefFs
advices declare, suffered a fate wcae
than death aud was beaten and tor
tured with sharp sticks until life was
extinct. _
have been tortured fiendishly until
death ended their sufferings. M. De
Giers and his legation officials resisted
desperately and his brave body guard
killed many of the attacking mob. In
the midst of his tortures the envoy is
said to have heroically proclaimed his
faith in Christianity, encouraged by
the wife who so soon shared his mar
tyrdom.
The announcement of this intelli
gence to tlio relatives of the Russian
martyrs in China was accompanied by
heartrending scenes.
Wli GETS ANSWER.
Cablegram From sheng at Shang
hai is Hrief and Is Couched In
Seemingly Evasive Terms.
Such news as reached Washington
Sunday from China was distinctly
bad. It consisted of a cablegram to
Miuister Wu, from Sheng, the impe
rial director of posts and telegraphs at
Shanghai, oiul, according to the min
ister, was in reply to the urgent mes
sage he himself had seut Saturday to
that official asking him to try to secure
some news from the Chiuese capital.
This cablegram Mr. Wu regarded as
of sufficient importance tQ carry in
person to Secretary Ilay, who was
waiting at his home for news. The
message as resolved from the cipher
was as follows:
“Pekin news of July 7th says that
General Tuan Fuh Siaug, in disobedi
ence of imperial orders, was about to
use gun a. Legations aud the govern
ment will be in peril.”
There still remains a suspicion that,
while Mr. Wu is undoubtedly acting
with sincerity, Bheug, who is repre
sented to boa clever and adroit man,
may kuow more of the actual happen
ings at Pekin that he is willing to re
veal at once.
EUROPE DEMANDS REVENUE.
Wild Talk of llurnliig Pekin anil Hang
ing the Kmpreaa uml Prince Tuan.
European journals are indulging-in
a great deal of wild talk, crediting the
powers with having decided to lay
Pekin in ashes, remove the capital to
Canton and hang the empress and
Prince Tuan, but the writeis fail to
take into acoonnt the difficulties which
would attend such undertakings.
However, the chancellories fully
recognize the magnitude of the task
confronting the great powers. Asa
matter of fact, as has already been
pointed out, the only thought for the
moment of the powers is how to best
reach Pekin.-

FROM CONSOL GOODNOW.
Our Representative at Shanghai
Sends Ominous and Disquiet
ing flessage.
The department of state has received
a dispatch from Consul Goodnow, at
Shauhai, saying that the governor of
Shan Tung wires that the boxers and
soldiers were bombarding the lega
tions for a final attack upon the 7th of
July. He is extremely auxious for the
safety of the ministers and friendly
Chinese in Pekin. The consul adds
that fears for the worst are generally
entertained.
The state department has aho re
vived a dispatch from Consul McWade
at Canton, saving that the viceroy, Li
Hung Chang, has engaged quarters
upou the Chinese steamer Apping, but
that the date of his departure from
the north is still undecided. Consnl
General Goodnow’s message terribly
depressed the officials here. All along
they nave suspected that the various
communications received from Chinese
sources in Shanghai have been prepar
ing the way for the announcement of
the extermination of the foreign minis
ters aud their wives, children, attach
es, dependents and guards.
The consul general’s message, it is
understood, is but a repetition of the
latest press reports from Shanghai,
but the state department has come to
place a high estimate on Mr. Good
now’s messages. It appreciates the
fact that he does not send every piece
of unreliable gossip afloat in the sen
sational center where he is stationed,
but uses good judgment in sifting out
the probable from the other kind of
news. Moreover, his advice this time
is from the Chinese governor of the
province wherein Shanghai is situated.
It is bard to conceive of an adequate
reason for falsification of the faots by
that official in the direction of this re
port. Therefore the state department,
which has all along been hopeful of
the ultimate rescue of the ministers at
Pekin, has now joined European chan
cellories in the belief that they have
all been killed.
DATE OF NOTIFICATION.

William Jennings Bryan aud Adlai
E. Stevenson will be formally notified
of their selection as the presidential
and vice presidential nominees of the
Democratic party August 8, at Indiau
auolis, Ind. Information to this effect
ut. u icooiveu by iiepresentativo
Richardson, of Tennessee, chairman of
the Democratic congressional campaign
committee, from Senator Jones, the
national chairman. Mr. Richardson
will make the speech of notification to
Mr. Bryan, and Governor Charles S.
Thomas, of Colorado, that to Mr.
Stevenson.
A Lincoln special says: The date,
August Bth, on which Mr. Bryan is to
receive official notification of his nom
ination by the Democratic committee
is satisfactory to him. It is doubtful
if he will leave Lincoln much before
that time, though he does not himself
know just what his programme will be.
Ho does not, however, expect to make
any speeches in advance of his notifi
cation. Mr. Bryan is spending much
of the time in his library with his
stenographer, working on material for
the campaign. Charles A. Towne has
been with him most of the time.
BOLOS FOUGHT FEROCIOUSLY.
Americans Were Forced To Encage In
Iland-to-Hand Fight With Filipinos.
The war department has received an
interesting report from Captain George
A. Dodd, of the Third cavalry, in re
gard to the operations in northwestern
Luzon with troop F, of that regiment,
from April Bth to May 3rd last.
Captain Dodd’s force, consisting of
eighty-seven men and ninety-three
horses, left Vigau on April Bth and
headed northward. Early on the
morning of the 15th his command en
countered a large party of insurgents
under Gregorio Aglihay in the moun
tains near Badoc.
In a fierce fight, lasting an hour,
forty-nine iusurrectos were killed-,four
were mortally wounded and forty-four
were made prisoners. The affray took
place in a thick jungle which made the
movements of the soldiers very diffi
cult. The command then proceeded
to hunt down a large body of insur
gents which was believed to be some
where in the vicinity of Badoc. At
daylight on the 25th instant they met
tLeir quarry and another sharp en
gagement took place.
The "bolo men are said to have
fought with great ferocity, and the
troopers were obliged to put aside
their carbines and close in with their
revolvers in a hand to hand fight. In
this fight 120 insurgents were killed
outright and five captured with rifles
and horses.
Captain Dodd’s only casualty was a
spear wound suffered by sergeant)E. R.
Coppeck in the tightiug at close quar
ters. This engagement, says the re
port, practically squelched an attempt
ed uprising iu Ilocos Norte. Next day
the Filipinos were again at work in
the fields. Captain Dodd’s command
arrived back of Yigan on May 3d, hav
ing covered a distance of 435 miles.
Jspansse Lse of Aluminum.
The Japanese are possibly U sln
aluminum to-day than any tor
eigu nation, for they are employing it
to a large extent in their ship building*
and it is rather a surprising fact that
India supplies a great market for ~h 3
metal. Possibly the Oriental mind
hails with joy anything! that will even
In a small degree lighten the effort of
life. At any rate, the native troops,
in India, are perhaps more generally
supplied with aluminum kits than any
other soldiers in the world. The In
dlan bazars are full of aluminum work
that is far ahead of anything done in
the west, for the metal workers of In
dia are among the cleverest craftsmen
of the world, and, through England,
they can obtain aluminum cheaper than
brass or copper.
The same circumstances that havs
kept aluminum out of our army have
hampered the use of the metal ia culi
nary utensils. German metallurgists
long ago discovered the cheering fact
that aluminum was non-poisonous in
corrosion. In fact, one old gentleman
with the courage of his convictions ex
peri men ted, by mixing the aluminum
corrosion with his food for a certain
number of days and, finding himself
allvo at the end of that time, triumph
antly scored his point. Naturally, the
harmlessness of tbo metoal should give
It an advantage over the long cherish,
ed copper in the kitchen, but for a long
time the price was prohibitory and
since that objection was removed tho
manufacturers hare made the same
mistake as in army equipment—that of
using sheets too thin to resist dents
in hard usage. One of the largest uses
of the metal at present Is In the manu
facture of covers for fruit jars, where
Its chemical harmlessuess makes it pre
ferable to zinc and tin, and the vari
ous manufacturers find it impossible
to supply the demand for these jar
tops.
