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.

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. SETTLEMENT IMPROBABLE. PEKING SAFE Legationers Left the City Un der Escort of Chinese Soldiers.

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. , AGAINST THE ICE COMPANY.

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.

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.

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.
