NEARING TIENTSIN
Boxers Are Said to Be Ap
proaching the City.
EVERYTHING IS READY FOR THEM
Chinese Government Doing TVothlasr
te SnpprcM the Uprising Mar-
dcra Are oa the Increase.
TIEN TSIN, June 4. The Boxers are
reported four miles off, and an attack Is
expected. Everything Is ready, and the
residents arc confident. Thirty-five Ger
man missionaries arrived here this even
ing. Three Belgian engineers have ar
rived. The French Consul says 11 are
missing, but here are hopes of earing
them.
Crisis at the Palace.
PEKING. Sunday. June 3. The most
alarming reports are constantly coming
from the country, and particularly Pao-Tlng-Fu.
Telegraph wires are cut, and
all news comes via Tien Tsln.
A serious crisis exists at the palace. The
Ultra-Conservative party advocates not
taking repressive measures, urging the
dowager Empress to allow the Boxers to
finish' the work of driving foreigners out
of the country. The Moderate party, led
by Prince Chin Le, represents the serious
danger of provoking a conflict with the
powers.
Huang Tin, the next station to Feng
Tal, was burned this morning, and a
bridge was damaged. Traffic between
Tien Tsln and Peking has been suspended.
It is reported that Pao-Tlng-Fu was at
tacked last night.
Mr. Robinson, of the North China mis
sion (not Mr. Stevenson, of the Church
of England mission at YIng Me, as cabled
last night) is missing, and five native
Christians have been murdered at Yang
Chlng. Mr. Norman,.of the same mission,
has been captured at Wu Chla Ting, two
miles from Yang Chlng. and is In great
danger.
The British cruiser Endymion and the
torpedo-boat Hart have arrived at Taku.
MINISTER COXGER REPORTS.
Mnrders and Persecutions Seem to
Be'on the Increase.
"WASHINGTON. June 4. The following
cablegram has been received at the de
partment from Minister Conger, at Pe
king: "Peking, June A. Outside of Peking,
murders and persecutions by the Boxers
seem to be on tho increase. The Pao-TJng-Fu
Railway is temporarily aban
doned. Work on the Peking & Pang
Kow line Is stopped. All foreigners have
fled. The Chinese Government seems
either unwilling cr unable to suppress the
trouble. Troops show no energy in at
tacking the Boxers."
Grave as these advices are, they have
not induced the State Department to vary
the lines of action It has laid down. The
naval force of the United States near
Peking, represented by one vessel, the
Newark, has not been strengthened, but
if occasion should arise. Admiral Kempff
might be reinforced to almost any extent
likely to be needed in the course of three
or four days from the numerous American
fleet still at Manila and vicinity. Owing
to the peculiar character of the Chinese
coast, naval vessels of formidable type
are unable to' approach the populous
provinces In China, and especially arc
these Boxer afflicted communities Inac.
cessible to naval vessels.
The State Department docs not contem
plate thejtsej)f Uiilted-States troops, and
K would" be difficult to spare any of the
force now operating in the Philippines,
even if it were found expedient to employ
the military arm. So for the time being
at least, the small marine contingents at
Peking and Tien Tsln must represent tha
defensive power of the United States, for
it it distinctly stated, that thesns marines
are employed simply in the protection of
the United States legation and consul
ates, and for the assistance of such
American citizens as may be in Jeopardy.
It is possible that the State Department,
In assuming this correct attitude, Is In
fluenced by a desire to set an example to
some of the other powers whose actions
are not believed to be entirely dls n
terested. So'me slight encouragement as to the
conditions prevailing at the end of the
Peking railway, where the engineers have
been beset, was conveyed Indirectly in a
cablegram received at the State Dapart
ment this afternoon. The department had
cabled Minister Conger in the interest
of friends of Rev. Charles Tracy Pitkin,
one of the American missionaries at Pau
Ting Fu, asking for informaiicn ze to
his condition. Mr. Conger obtaining this
Information, he might have first acquaint
ed himself with the situation at Pau Ting
Fu.
RUSSIAN OFFICERS "WOUNDED.
Another Detachment of Cossacks
"Will Be Sent After the Boxers.
LONDON. June 5. The Peking corre
spondent of the Times, telegraphing June
3, says:
"The Boxers have burned Huang Tsun
Station, oh tS FJktaa&nen Ts,n Railway.
The railway len-lceiTiNbfclocated and tho
foreign guards are necessary to police the
line.
"The services of a party of Cossacks
were accepted Sunday to accompany the
relief party from Tien Tsln to rescue the
mining engineers In the Interior. The re
lief party returned without fulfilling Its
mission. Two Russian officers have been
wounded by the Boxers, and another Rus
sian detachment Is sure to be sent to pun
ish the assailants.
"The reported murders of the mission
aries appear to be fictitious, although the
fate of one British missionary Is causing
anxiety. Chinese who are associated with
foreigners or with Chrlstiara are being
vigorously persecuted."
DESTRUCTION OF THE RAILWAY.
Chinese Government Concealing: the
Movements of the Boxers.
LONDON, June 4. According to a spe
cial dispatch from Shanghai, the Coss
acks were dispatched to the rescue of the
Belgians after a stormy Interview be
tween the Belgian Minister, Baron de
Vlnck de Deux Orph, and the members
of the Tsung Li Yamen. The dispatch
says also: "Over 40 miles of bridges and
stations on the Lu Han railway have been
destro cd, and it will take months to re
pair the damage."
The German and Austrian legation
guards have arrived at Peking. It li as
serted that the Government is delaying
the transmission- of telegrams in order to
conceal the movements of the Boxer.
Apparently the Chinese officials will do
nothing to prevent massacres or outra
geous actions, unless the powers take v.g
orous concerned action.
RELIGIOUS FANATICS.
A Missionary Describes the Chinese
Boxers.
CHICAGO. June 4. Rev. Dr. D. Z.
Sheffield, president cf the North China
College of the American Board of For
eign Mieslons, who has been selected
by the First Congregational Church to
be Its paid missionary In foreign lands,
gave a lecture at the church last night.
He has been in China 30 years. Speak
ing of the present situation In that coun
try. io said:
"I have the gravest apprehension of
danger to the mission stations in Northern
China. The Boxers are not upheld openly-
by the government, but eecretly. The
Boxers i- also known as the Society of
the Great Knife. They are banded to
gether for the preservation of conserva
tism. They are religious fanatics, claim
ing that snlrlts urge them on. and that
they are Immune from death or Injury as
Jong as they remain loyal to the silent
voices. At fin! they attacked the native
churches belonging to the Roman Catholic
missions, but soon began to wage war on
the Protestant churches and missions as
welL They have destroyed TOO houses be
longing to the Roman Catholics, and 300
belonging to the Protestant denomina
tions. They are adding to the numbers,
and It will take the most strenuous ef
forts on the part of the Chinese Gov
ernment to suppress them. I am glad
the marines were landed, but they will
find their time occupied in rotectlng the
cities alone. Foreign Intervention will
result in the overthrow of the present
government'
Cossacks Foasrht Boxers.
TIEN-TSIN, Sunday, June 3. Two more
of the party of foreigners who fled from
Pao-TIng-Fu have arrived here. One of
them was badly Injured. The relief ex

Bleuskey, Dr. Hamilton, i, trooper and
a civilian were wounded. fWMF
It is reported from Pafhng-Fu that
eight Americans and three' members of
the China Inland Mission are missing.
The missionaries are In great danger.
No further news has been received re
garding the missing refugees.
RefaRces From Pao Tlnjr Fa.
LONDON, June 5. The Daily Mall has
the following dispatch dated Monday,
from Shanghai:
"Later reports from Tien Tsln show that
no .British or American missionaries were
among the refugees who escarped from Pao
Ting Fu district. The safety of the sev
en foreigners still missing is despaired
of. Twenty-three of the French and Bel
gian party arrived wounded at Tien Tsln
after terrible suffering."
Pirates on a British Steamer.
SHANGHAI. June 4. A number of des
perados, disguised as passengers, boarded
the British steamer Yangtse Kutwo.
They committed wholesale robberies, ter
rorizing the passengers, who were quite
unable to offer resistance. The thieves
escaped with their booty.
ANOTHER PLAGUE DEATH.
Reported by the Health Officers of
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 4. Health Of
ficer O'Brien and Bacteriologist Kellogg
have reported that the case of "a Chinese
who died Saturday, after one day's Illness,
was undoubtedly one of bubonic plague.
At the time of the autopsy, the body was
already beginning to turn black. Certain
glands had been, removed from the body,
it is said, by physicians engaged by the
Chinese. The Health Officer had been in
structed to quarantine the persons and
laboratories of these doctors.
Temporary quarters will be established
on Angel Island sufficiently largo to ac
commodate 3000 Chinese. The passage of
street-cars through Chinatown is to be
stopped, and all permits to pass through
the quarantine lines are to be rtvoed. Dr.
Kenyoun the Federal Health Officer, re
ports that three guinea-pigs Inoculated
with plague virus are nil dead. No new
case of plague has been reported today.
Governor Gage, Is In this city. In con
nection with the matter of the quarantine
of Chinatown, and the other proceedings
of the Board of Health. He has received
a dispatch from Secretary of State Hay,
asking for information, and saying that
he proposes to look nto the affair very
thoroughly. The dispatch reads as fol
lows: "Washington. May 3L Governor Henry
T. Gage. San Francisco: The Chinese Min
ister complains that the city authorities
of San Francisco have quarantined China
town without cause, and ignoring an In
junction of court, whtn there Is no sick
ness. He considers this a violation of
treaties and remonstrates against it.
Please report state of facts.
.-JOHN HAY,
"Secretary of State."
Governor Gage was asked how he In
tended to proceed, and replied that he had
not finally decided as to that. He had
considered several plans. One of these
was to select six physicians, not connect
ed with the Board of Health, and of the
highest professional standing, and six re
sponsible merchants, and let them inquire
into all the facts, draw their conclusions
and make their report to him. The Gov
ernor has been holding consultations with
local physicians, and It Is expected that a
way will be found to get at the facts In
the matter.
Quarantine at Victoria.
VICTORIA. B. C June 4. The Domin
ion Government Issued an order that here
after Chinese coming from San Francisco
must spend 14 days In quarantine at Wi.l

Health also suggests drastic rules to
cleanse the Chinese quarters throughout
the Province.
BYNUM'S NOMINATION.
Considered In Senate Secret Session,
bnt No Action Taken.
WASHINGTON. June 4. The Senate
was In executive session for three hours
today, dividing Its time between an ex
tradition treaty which has been nego
tiated, recently with the Republic of
Switzerland and the nomination of Hon.
W. D. Bynum, to" be General Appraiser
of Merchandise at New York. The treaty
was ratified without division, after some
slight verbal amendments.
When the treaty was disposed of, the
Bynum nomination was taken up and Its
consideration pushed, by Senators who
opposed confirmation on the theory that
If a vote could be secured, confirmation
would be defeated. Senator Fairbanks,
as Mr. Bynum's friend and chief sup
porter, opposed consideration, and. fall
ing in his purpose, moved to recommit
the nomination to the committee on
finance. This motion was lost by a vote
of 32 to 34. Mr. Fairbanks then took the
flocr and spoke for the remaining two
hours of the executive session. The
closed session was brought to an end a
few minutes before 6 o'clock by an order
for a recess at that hour, and action
upon the nomination today was prevented.

The General Gees to Washington
to Report te the President.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. After five
days in quarantine at Angel Island, Major-General
E. S. Otis, who arrived last
"Wednesday from Manila, was allowed
to land today. Several cases of small
pox on board the transport Meade were
the cause of the quarantine, and General
Otis and all on board had to submit to
vaccination. General Otis was brought
over, from Angel Island on a sp:Cat
steamer furnished by General Shatter,
who went to meet the returning General,
accompanied by Surgeon-Ma3or Arthur
and Captain Wilson." The party was
driven to the Occidental Hot:l. where
General Otis spent the afternoon receiv
ing callers and preparing for his depart
ure East. It had "been decided to Te;eivc
General Otis here with full military hon
ors, but for some reason this ceremony
was omitted.
"When seen by a representative of the
Associated Press. General Otis, In response
to a requtet that he make a statement
of the situation In the Philippines, said
that while It would give him great pleas
ure to comply with the request, he was
constrained to decline for the reason that
such action in his Judgment would be in
consistent with his duty as an officer of
the Army. Asked what would be tho ef
fect on the war if the report of Aguinal
dos death was true. General Otis said
the dto was practically ended, that Agu
inalR&plIowers were deserting him fast,
and tnaS- who now remain with him are
generally of the lower class. Most of his
officers have left him, though some still
remain In touch with him. Some of those
who have left him are now engaged In
business in Manila, and others are hiding
In the mountains. Many of his closest
followers are very friendly toward the
United States, and as soon as the na
tives In general gain confidence In the
friendly offices and the Justice of the
Americans, there will he little difficulty
In bringing them to terms.
Asked as to the commercial value of the
islands, the General said they were vastly
rich, especially in hemp, sugar and' tobac
co, and that as soon as the situation be
came more quiet, business of all kinds
would Increase tremendously, even as It
Is now doing. General Otis would not
state whether or not ne favored the re
tention of the islands by this country.
In response to such a query, he merely
said: "We've got them now. "What are
we to do about It?" Regarding the num
ber of troops and the condition of the
soldiers. General Otis said:
"There are 55,000 effective troops scat
tered among the Islands now, engaged In
the protection of the people from guerril
la warfare, which Is rampant In some sec
tlons. The general health of the troops
Is exceedingly good, the percentage of
sick for the morth of April being but
10 per cent. The American soldiers can
stand the campaign much better than the
Filipinos, and especially during the rainy
season did their good health Impress me.
The men are "becoming acclimated, and
though it may become necessary to send
out relief troops at times. It will hardly
be necessary to send soldiers very fre
quently." General Otis said his own health was
excellent, and that the ocean trip had
done him a world of good. General Otis
left for Washington tonight, and will re
port to the President at once. He could
not state when his report on the situ
ation would be ready, but he would first
mtke a verbal report to the authorities
in Washington, and later hand in an ex
tended written report.
PROBLEM BEFORE ROOT.
To Recall Volunteers and Maintain
Prestige in Philippines.
WASHINGTON. June 4. In order to
prevent misapprehension as to the fu
ture policy of the War Department re
specting the military forces in the Phil
ippines, Adjutant-General Corbln made
a brief statement of the facts in the case
today. He said there had been no change
of policy Tsince the departure of General
Otis, and that none was contemplated.
Under the law, the entire volunteer
Army now serving In the Philippines will
go out of existence June 30, 1901, and
the problem before the War Department
Is how to get the 3LOO0 men of that Army
home from the Philippines before the
date named, at the same time relieving
them with other troops of the regular
establishment, so far as possible, with
out loss of military prestige In the Phil
ippines and without material disturbance
of the present military organization.
General Corbln says It Is proposed tq
maintain an Army of 40.000 regulars In
the Philippines so long as required, and
to do this It will be necessary to draw
upon the troops now In Cuba. The Army
In the Philippines at present numbers
about 62.000 men, equally divided between
regulars and volunteers.
All the volunteers are to be brought
home and mustered out at the place of
enlistment June 30 next year, and In
order to accomplish this with certainty
and with the least embarrassment, the
homeward movement will begin early In
the coming November. As was the case
with the volunteers for the Spanish War,
they will be brought home, as far as pos
sible. In the order of their departure
from the United States. To do this will
tax the transport service to Its utmost,
and a good margin of time will he al
lowed, to guard against unforeseen and
unavoidable delays. The plan Is to have
all the men at their homes and their ac
counts with the Government closed on
the last day of their term of enlistment.
This Is a task of enormous proport'ons.
and wHl tax the powers of the entire mill--tary
establishment to the utmost from
now until It is fully accomplished.
In order that there may be no immedi
ate reduction of force under General
MacArthur. it has been arranged to send
regular troop to the Philippines as rap
idly as possible to take the places of the
departing volunteers. Orders have been
issued for the assembling of the Sixth
Cavalry at San Francisco for transport
to Manila. One detachment of that regi
ment will leave about the 15th Inst., and
another Jy 1. It Is believed many of
the troops In Cuba can be relieved from
duty in that country soon after the elec
tion there the 15th Inst. In case the con
ditions Justify It. these troops will be
brought home and assisted to home sta
tions. In order that the home garrisons
may bo ittillred in recruiting the Army
In the Philippines.
General Corbln says It Is Incorrect to
state that the time of the volunteer Army
Is to be extended or that reinforcements
are to be sent to the Philippines, the
fart being simply that th volunteers are
to he brought home fcr dlshindment and
enough regulars sent thr to take their
places to rive GTrnl MacArthur 40.000
men tn alst In maintaining the suprem
acy of tb 'United State and to vrry

mined upon by the Taft Commission.
FILIPINO CASUALTIES.
MacArthur Reports Ten Tlionnazzd
Killed Daring: the "War.
WASHINGTON. June 4. Secretary
Root today made answer to .the Senate
resolution Inquiring as to the number
of Filipinos killed and wounded and the
number of prisoners taken since the In
surrection began. Having no detailed
Information on the subject, the Secretary
cabled the Inquiry to General MacArthur,
commanding at Manila, and received the
following, which was submitted to Con
gress: "Manila, June i. ISM. Adjutant-Gen
eral, Washington With reference to your
telegram of the 22d ult.:
"Filipinos killed. 10.750; wounded. 3)14;
captured and surrendered, 10.421. Num
ber of prisoners in our possession, about
3)00. There is no systematic record of
Filipino casualties at these headquarters.
The foregoing Is compiled from a large
number of reports inade Immediately
after engagements, and Is as close an
approximate as Is now poss ble, owing
to the wide distribution of troops. A1
more accurate report will take weeks
to prepare. The number reported killed
Is probably much less, as the Filipinos
managed .to remove most of their wounded
from the field, and comparatively few fell
Into our hands. Officers of high rank and
dangerous, suspicious men have been re
tained as prisoners: most other men were
discharged on the field as soon as dis
armed. I propose to release all hut a
very few prisoners at an early date.

AUSTRALIA'S CRY FOR
HELP
Wives Are "Wanted for 300,000 Un
married Males.
Chicago, 111., Inter Ocean.
Unmarried women who would like to
be married, and who have come to the
conclusion that the chances are against
them in this country, are Invited to turn
their eyes and their footsteps toward New
South Wales, where marriageable women
are In great demand.
The newspapers of Sydney are doing
their utmost to arouse an Interest
throughout the world In the great want
of thle colony. Under the heading. "Do
Not Be an Old Maid; Emigrate to Aus
tralia and Find a Husband," one of theso
Journals presents facts, figures and mis
cellaneous arguments to prove that the
unmarried women of the world will be
welcomed In New South Wales with open
arms.
Already organized missionary work has
been commenced in England to induce
young girls to flnd homes in Australia.
The missionaries direct attention to the
fact that, while In England there are 20
women In every hundred who have no
possible chance of marrying, there are 25
men in every hundred In Australia who
have no opportunity to marry.- owing to
the scarcity of women. The following
table tells the story with pathetic eloquence:

It Is with exceeding regret we are
compelled to Inform the Australians that
neither Chicago nor Illinois can do any
thing for them. The demand for mar
riageable women here is equal to the sup
ply. To suggest that we ship any of our
unmarried women to New South Wales
would create a riot. In Chicago the mar
riage license clerk was never busier than
he ifl at present. His ofilce is equipped
with all the modern devices- for turning
out licenses while the couples wait, hut
neverthelefe many In the line fail to
reach his window by closing time eaca
day. The result is that, hundreds of Chi
cago couples are being married weekly at
St. Joe. Mich., and Milwaukee. Wis.
Reports from all parts of the state provt
that matrimony was never more general
ly sought and never In higher repute than
It hae been all through the present Spring.
It is seldom that a marriageble girl suc
ceeds in reaching her 2Uh year singly In
any part of this fruitful cbmmonwealth.
In Peoria, Galcsburg. Springfield. Jollet.
Quincy, Lincoln. Evanston. Aurora, Jack
sonville and Vandalia the newspapers
teem with wedding announcements, and
the distribution of frosted cake I5 so gen
eral that the type f'llls to voice the pleas
uro it gives the society reporters to
chronicle tho var'ous events.
So we cannot do anything for the poof
Australians except to feel sorry for them
and advise them to send some carefully
prepared literature to New England. It
Is Just possible that If they approach the
matter with good grammar and good taste
the unmarried women of the Northeastern
seaboard will consider their troubles lna
charitable spirit and possibly do something
to alleviate them.
The
Criminal Cuckoo.
The Spectator.
Bad temper and cruelty are perhaps the
most obvious signs of mental degenera
tion In the beasts. The larger monkeys,
for Instance, become as bad-tempered as
a violent man when they grow old, and
many in their treatment of other anlma's
are cruel, as we use the word In regard
to man. Among the carnivorous beasts
the cat amuscc Itself by torturing a
mouse, and the weasel tribe kill for sheer
love of killing. No such cruelty Is sen
among eagles or falcons. Fierce as their
tempers are, they do not torment other
birds which they catch, or kill for killing's
sake. Good temper Is general among
birds. Except the cuckoo, such a thing
as an ill-tempered wild bird is unknown.
Nowhere in the race can a temper like
that of the Tasmanlan devil, or the wild
hunting dog, or the Cape buffalo, or the
baboon be found. Even those which in
Spring are thieves and egg robbers Tare
not mauvais crouchcum at other times.
Good temper, and good fellowship in so
ciety, a personal affection for each other
to which the beasts offer no parallel, In
dustry and Independence, Intense devotion
and foresight in tending their young, with
other very human and engaging traits
of character, must all be credited to the
race of birds.
Among these kindly and simple natures,
the cuckoo Is a monster. Let there be
no mistake on the subject. He unites in
his life and character, from the egg to
the adult bird, practices and principles
to which the whole race of warm-blooded
animals offers no parallel. He Is an out
rage on the moral law of bird life, some
thing so flagrant and so utterly foreign
to the way of thought of these kindly
beings that K he did net exist he would
be inconceivable. It is not merely that he
is a supplanter and a changeling. His
whole nature is so evil that in xhe world
of birds he is an incarnation gf the prin
ciple of 111 an embodiment of vices which
would. If understood or adopted by other
birds, put an end to the existence of the
race.

EMPIRESTATEDEMOCRATS
CONVENTION, "WILL" BE HELD IT!
NEW YORK CITY TODAY. '"
Chicago Platform May Be Absolutely
Indorsed Danforth "Will Be "
Permanent Chairman.
J
NEW YORK, June 4. The Democratic
State Convention will meet here at 11
o'clock tomorrow.
The ctate committee was in session to
night. Ex-Senator D. B. Hill moved that
John T. Norton, of Troy, be named as
temporary chairman 'of the convention,
and It was so decided, without a dissent
ing voice. Secretaries were chesen, the
roll of delegates was adopted as a tem
porary organization, and the committee
adjourned. The committee on permanent
organization will report the name of El
liott Danforth for permanent chairman.
The committee on platform will then re
port, and the delegatee-at-large and by
districts will be named.
It Is altogether probable that the plat
form presented and adopted will be as
radical as the most ardent admirer of
William Jennings Bryan can wish. - The
Chicago platform will be nearly, if not
absolutely, indorsed. An anti-trust plank,
drawn by Controller Coler, will be one of
the features, and attention may be called
to the fact that a bill drawn by Demo
crats and aimed at trusts has been on the
statute books for two years and never
has been enforced by a Republican Ad
ministration. The delegates-at-large to be selected will
be ex-Senators Murphy and Hill, Richard
Croker and Augustus Van Wyck. Mr.
Van Wyck's name was handled In con
versation about the corrldore tonight in an
unfavorable manner, his alleged connec
tion with the ice trust being brought forth

John F. Carroll and Elliott Danforth. They
had hardly sat down to work before a
committee of Chicago platform Democrats
made them a visit. The latter committee
merely urged that the platform should In
no way be so worded as to fall to give
plainly an Indorsement to the National

adding new Issues, but they did not want
evasive language on the silver Issue.

believe that the platform would be satis

themselves to the weather during the Win
ter may visit the offices, and are helped In
the progress of treatment rather than In
