They Paced Certain Death In Order
to Save the Women and Children.
Their Comrades Beach Safety A ter
Enduring Many Hardships.
Victoria, B. a, June 27.—Advices
received by the steamer Empress of In
dia give graphic. details of the .escape
from Peking and Tien Tala of foreign
er*. Of all the fugitives to reach the
ooast none had a harder fight for their
lives than the American, French and
Belgian engineers, who were surrounded
fay the Boxen at Phaeng Tai. When
the Boren attacked the station and the
machine shops the engineers barricadsd
themselves and held the Chinese off
some time. They had women with
them, the wives of some of them. Three
women loadod the men's rifle belts and
otherwise assisted to repel the Boxers.
Soon, though, the foreigners found their
position untenable, as some of the Chi
nese had rushed the shops and set firo
to apart of the building. They ran
forth, fighting their way through the
breaches. When they had got through
the Boxen* lines the Chinese gave no
more attention to them, but instead be
gan to pillage and destroy the station
and machine shops. Two of the Bel
gians then hurried to Peking, where
they reported the danger of the party
and called for volunteers to help them.
A number of Cossacks were dispatched
to the rescue. They set out on June 3
and encountered a large crowd of Box
ers 40 miles from Tien Tsin and were
obliged to return, being unable to fight
their way through tne Boxers. The
Cossacks had three wounded. There
were 30 men who had taken np a posi
tion on a small hill and there made a
fight. Eight men were left in * the
trenches to hold back the Boxers, while
the other 22, including the women and
children, went on toward Peking. They
had no carts and the men carried the
weaker ones when they became ex
hausted. The march of the fugitives to
Peking was an awful one. They found
another party of Boxers to their front
and the men formed a hollow square
with the women and children in the
center and repelled the onslaughts of
the Boxers, making their way to Peking
after two days of terror. The Boxers of
this party were without firearms, being
armed only with poles headed with iron
and knives and spears. They were kept
at a distance by the rifles and revolvers
of the railroad men, who killed a num
ber of them.
The eight heroes who were left behind
to guard their retreat were slain by the
Boxers. There were three Frenchmen
and one Italian among them, the others
being German and Swiss. The fugitives,
on arrival in Peking, were in a terribly
destitute condition.
American marines led the way of the
party to Peking, despite the viceroy’*
edict that no foreigners should be al
lowed to pass Taku forts, 40 United
States marines landed and made their
way up the river by lighter.
Brlckmasons' Union Withdraws Prom
Building Trades Council—No Pros
pects of Settlement of St. Louis
Strike—Posse Discharged.
Chicago, June 27.—Tho backbone of
the great building trades strike in this
city is broken.
It is now only a question of hoars
when the 50,000 workmen who have
been idle for many months will be ar
ranging agreements for their return to
work.
The move for ending the lockout was
taken by the Bricklayers aud Stonema-
union, tho strongest labor organi
zation in the building trades, which
voted, after an all night meeting, to
withdraw from the Building Trades
council. Tho council was notified of
the withdrawal of the bricklayers. The
arbitration committee of the bricklayers
will meet the committee of the Chicago
Masons aud Builders’ association and
_ working agreement to extend to
April, 1902, and the bricklayers will im
mediately be given work.
The action of the bricklayer’s nnion
as the result of the report of the con
ference committee in which a resolution
made that the union sever its con
nection with the central body, that or
ganization having been unable to bring
about a settlement of the labor troubles.
As the bridge and structural ironwork
ers, gas fitters, plumbers, plasterers and
hod carriers’ unions have been on the
verge of quitting the trades council for
over a week, they will now in all proba
bly follow the coarse of tho bricklayers.
The bricklayers have a membership of
3,000.

MISSIONARIES BUTCHERED.
Details Of tbe Brutal Murder or Gills
and Two Chinamen.
Victoria, B. C., Juno 27.—The Shang
hai Mercury says that a member of the
Boxers’society who saw tho murder of
Rev. Mr. Ellis, of the London mission,
and of a Chinese missionary at Knng
Tsun, gave the following account of the
tragedy to a friend:
“On the 12th day of the fourth moon
the Boxers, numbering 07, crossed the
river Tbs Tsun and met the two mission
aries in a boat They knew the Chinese
was a Christian and at onoe attacked
him, wounding him with their swords.
Then they dragged him out of the boat
and tied him to a tree at the river side.
Then Ellis was tied with him and Ohao,
another Chinese missionary, was found.
His toes and thumbs were bound to
gether and he was carried to a tree near
where the others were hungup. The
arms of the missionaries were out off,
their heads hewn off and after the bodies
had been disembowelled they were oast
into the river. The chapel of the mis
sion was demolished and the crowd went
on their way.”
This was but one of many such out
rages. ,

Washington, Jane 27.—The Chinese
ministers called on the secretary of state
and communicated to him the oontents
of a dispatoh which he has received
from the tsung li yamen at Peking,
dated June 19. The dispatch states that
the foreign ministers had, before this
date, asked permission for the legation
guards to enter the city, which permis
sion has been granted, so that they sub
sequently asked that these guards be
reinforced, which the Chinese govern
ment was not disposed to permit. The
dispatch says that the French consul
leral at Tien Tsin had telegraphed to
_ _ vioeroy of Uhih Ii that the foreign
element had demanded the surrender of
the Taku forts and that the foreign min
isters were shortly to leave Peking for
Tien Tsin with their guards.
Another dispatch from Peking, via
Chang Foo, says that tho ministers and
foreigners in Peking were safe, and that
arrangements were being made to pro
vide them with an escort out of the city.

New Orleans, La.
Tuskegee, Ala., June 27.—News has
been received here of a shooting near La
Place, in Macon county. J. O. Pink
ston, in company with his son and a
young man named Letcher, were out
driving, when they were told to halt by
Lawton Boyd and Addie Boyd, both of
whom were armed. When they ordered
Pinkston to stop he jumped out of his
buggy and the firing begaifi fifteen
shots were exchanged between Pinkston
and the Boyd boys. As a result Pink
ston received two wounds, one in the
head and the other in the leg, neither of
the Boyd’s being hit. Pinkston's
wounds, while painful, are not serious.
Daring the exchange of shots Pink
ston’s horse was killed.
The difficulty is said to have grown
out of one a few months before, when
Pinkston returned from Georgia. He
had some words with one of the Boyds,
and used his whip on him.
Foreign Ministers Quit Peking.
Paris, June 27.—The French consul
at Shanghai telegraphs that the foreign
ministers have departed from Peking
north, aooompanied by a Chinese escort.
It is supposed that they are headed for
Shanghai Kouau, following the course

government that they are protecting the

men killed and over 200 wounded, and

patch of a relief column of 2,000 men.

Harlan Courthouse, Ky., June 27.—
Captain J. H. Powers of Barboursville,
Ky., who was arrested on the charge of
complicity in the murder of Governor
Goebel, has been released. His attor
neys instituted habeas corpus proceed
ings before County Judge Cornett.
Powers produced a pardon signed by

ing it as a bar to prosecution and arrest.
Judge Cornett honored the pardon and
Powers was ordered released from cus-
fi&'is is the second time Powers has

released on Governor Taylor’s pardon.
Captain Powers is a brother of Caleb
Powers, who is now being held in jail
at Georgetown on the same charge.

ing scrape occurred at the Mayor hotel
in this city .between' the tl: roe Gorig
brothers—George, Duncan and Leon—
and J. E. Boson, on one side, and Gor

• Rebellion In Daratonga.
Seattle, Wash., Juno 27.—Mail ad
vices from the Orient give particulars of
a strong rebellion which is in progress
in Baratonga, a Pacific island under the
British flag in the South seas. The up
rising has spread over the whole island.
The natives aro advancing on the
European settlements along tho ooast and
are threatening the capital.
AMERICANS FIRST TO ENTER
Led tbe Allied Forces Into ^ Peking
After Desperate Battle.
Ohe Foo, June 27.—The fight of the
allied forces against the combined Box
ers and Chinese soldiers barring the
road to Tien Tsin opened at daybreak.
One hundred , and 50 Americans were
among the 2,000 international troops.
The Chinese soon broke under heavy
■helling and then the arsenal was at
tacked and the guns were gradually si
lenced. The fight was practically over
at noon.
The keen friendly rivalry for the
honor of first entering Tien Tsin rested
with the Americans, with the others
close up.
Seymour's Force Retreats.
Shanghai, June 27.—Communication
with Admiral Seymour was opened by
the Tien Tsin relief farce Sunday. He
was at that time 10 miles from Tien
Tsin. Three hundred of the members of
his party are reported sick and wounded,
only a few having been killed. They
were short of provisions and were re
turning without having rescued the le-
Sey mour*s Losses.
Shanghai, June 27.—A German pa
per has an unconfirmed statement to the
effect that Admiral Seymour is 8 miles
from Tien Tsin with 62 killed and 200
wounded.
Mission Burned By Rebels.
Tsin Tan, June 27.—The Protestant
mission at Weihsten was burned down
by rebels Monday night last.
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR LOCATED.
Force of 2,000 Men Is Sent From
Tien Tsin to His Relief.
London, June 27.—The cablegrams
from the far east are so conflicting in
their tenor that almost any desired view
of the situation is deductible therefrom.
On the whole, however, the news is en
couraging, and it seems mfe to assume
that Vico Admiral Seymour and the le
gations, whether together or separately,
will ultimately reach a place of safety.
.Various reports locate the legmtUmea at
divers points, hut ii seems agreed that
iey are safely away from Peking.
The latest Shanghai report says that
Prince Tuan, the head of the Chinese
foreign offioe and father of the heir ap
parent, has sent the legationers to Sian
Fu for safety and adds that Sian Fa will
be the new capitalin the event of Peking
being occupied by the international
forces.
Admiral Seymour, it is said, succeeded
in getting a message in Tien Tsin Mon
day, according to which ho was 8 miles
westward, terribly harrassed, could only
hold out another two days and had 63
killed and over 200 wounded.
He did not mention the ministers or
others from Peking.
It is thought at
Tien Tsin is relieved^
ternational foil
poctca it will be round that all the for
eigners have already left. It is claimed
that the reports as to the damage done
at Tien Tsin and tho carnalities among
the foreign residents have been highly
colored.
The exodus of Chinese from Shanghai
is unabated. Every steamer is loaded
down and every means of exit is being
used.
The commander of the British first-
class cruiser Undaunted, however, has
landed large supplies of rifles and sun-
munition and guns have been placed in
position at commanding positions, with
the result that foreigners are confident
that they can overcome any attack on
the settlement,' into which the foreign
ers from the outer stations are rap.dly
congregating.
According to a dispatch from New
Oh wang the Russians there are barely
able to cope tfith the situation. The
Chinese, it appears, are burning all the
railroads, killing Russians at every op
portunity aud destroying property.
Increasing Hostility In Korea.
Yokohama, June 37.—The emperor
has sanctioned an outly of 15,000,000yen -
toward the cost of military operationsin
Chino. It is reported in Seoul that
there is increasing hostility toward
Christians in Korea. Korea, it is said,
repudiates the land contract which gave
to Russia a site for a coal depot and a
naval headquarters, os Russia wished to
apply the price to the amount of the
ponding claims against Korea.
Will Go to European Waters.
New York, June 27.—The cruiser At
lanta, at the navy yard, is now about
ready for service. It was rumored at.
the yard tbpt the Atlanta and the Ken
tucky would be sent to European waters
and possibly to China.
Ninth Sails For China.
Washington, June 27.—General Mac-
Arthur has notified the adjutant general
of the departure of the Ninth infantry
for China.
BRAY ON NEGRO EDUCATION
President of Georgia Teachers' Associ
ation Says It Spoils Him. f
Augusta, Ga., June 27.—The Geor
gia Teachers’ association opened its
twentieth annual session in Thankful
Baptist church. There is a.largo at
tendance of the negro teachers of Geor
gia. President Bray of Athens delivered^
his annual address. He said an oducated
idler is no better than an ignorant idler.
An educated vagabond, by cause of his
training, is more dangerous than an
ignorant ono. An educated pauper is
more miserable than an ignorant pauper.
TYom this starting point he argued
that higher education for the negro is
unfitting them for manual labor in the
field and shop and as domestic servants
and producing a race of idlers. He said
philanthropists had given enough in (his
direction and should not be asked to
give farther to negro oolleges. * He
thought the true field of philanthropy
now will be lor friends of the negro to
build factories in which educated ne
groes could find employment
INNOCENT MAN 13 SET FREE.
He Had Served 11 Yean of a 15-
Year Sentence.
.Richmond, June 27.— Jambs Hart,
who nas served 11 years of a 16-year
sentence for a crime which he is now
known never to have committed, has
been pardoned by Governor Tyler. In
October, 11 yean ago, he was convicted
of gn assault upon a woman and given
16 yean. Throughout the trial ana ever
since he stoutly insisted he was inno
cent, but public sentiment was strong
and he came to prison. He made a
model prisoner and the prison board
recommended his pardon, but the people
of his county opposed this.
Recently Hart renewed his applica
tion and the commonwealth attorney
writes that the prosecutrix now admits
that the trial of Hart was a. persecution
and that when she testified against him
she perjured her own soul. Hart was
released early today. ' -

Peculiar Shooting Near Brundidge.
Brundidge, Ala., June 27.—A rather
strange and probably fatal occurrence
happened on the McLano plantation
near here. Two negro children were
playing what they.calied “hawk.” One
had a gun and aa tho other ran across
the room, representing the hawd, he
fired. The victim's arm was terribly
mangled and had to be amputated.
