Leonard, oX Portland, Writes of Her Adventure to Friends Here. Dr. Eliza E. Leonard, "who was sent from Portland to Pekln by the Presby terian Board of Missions, was In, tho Chinese capital while the Boxers and treacherous Chinese soldiers were be sieging .the Christian legations. ' Under date of June 15 she writes of her expe diences: "Such carnage and pillage as Pekln. has witnessed the past few days i,s unpar alleled, in history. I wish you could look down on this formerly peaceable com pound. All woodwork of windows and doors In the church has been covered with masonry, save two, which are left as entrances, and corrugated Iron roofilng doors have been made for these, and are ready to be pulled into place. Barbed Wire fences surround the church. Beyond these are" deep trenches, and still be yond, enclosing two houses on either side of the church, are high brick walls. The first stand "will be made' behind these walls. Chinese men, women and chil dren, preachers, teachers, Bible women, students are helping in the work. All brick walls in the compound have been torn up to build the walls of de fense. Trees which stood In the way have been cut down. The court Is In the utmost confusion. We don't know when we shall be relieved or released. The water we have to use Is very al kaline. We are not prepared to do wash ing. Just sent boys home with wash ing .In time to havo It burned. All my worldly .possessions are In two trunks, a handbag. and a pillow case. The latter we have found very convenient when in. a state of semi-siege. Eveiy night our bags and pillow cases He by our sides'. I have not properly undressed and slept for a week. Put on a long Chinese gar ment at night over underclothing and petticoat andstuff day clothes Into pil lowcase. Women with children are sleep ing In the church every night. Tonight word comes that five American war vessels lie' off Taku, near Tien Tsln. Gntcs Are Kept Locked. Sunday, June 17 Last night the Ha Ta gate was again closed at the point ot the bayonet and a foreign lock put on and the key brought here. Later we received a request from a big general un- der Jung Lu., the commander-in-chief of the army, that the gate be opened and' he be allowed to pass with 1500 troop3. He had 3000 troops in the city, and yet was brought so low that he had to send a humble request to the missionaries. Ho was told that If he brought us the card of .the United States Minister we would consider his request. No card came, so the gate remained closed and he was left to his choice stay in. the city or pass through another gate. His excuse was that he wished, to Investigate the fires in the Southern City. The fires had been burning' most of the day,Nand we feared this was but a scheme. This morning when the men went to unlock the gate they found, two men with red and yellow badges on the street. They were taken and chained- in f -ont of the burned chapel. The three messen gers sent to Captain' McCalla with the urgent letter returned this morning,' having- failed to pass- the Boxer lines. Russian-Cossacks were reported to be within 24 miles of Pekln yesterday morning. We hope theywlll soon be In. They are heavily loaded with artillery and ammu nition. ." r ., Monday, t June 18 An elder and his family""' got 'safely into the compound. They had been wandering about nnd In hiding since the night, our place was burned. A very quiet day. No news.' Taken to American Legation' Tuesday, June 19 The calm before the storm. The Ha Ta gate Is still' closed and locked by our men every evening, and opened in the morning. By 6 in the even ing six fires were In view. Tsung 11 Ya mun'gave foreigners 24 hours to quit Pe kln. Promised carts and protection' to Tien Tsln. At 1:20 A.M. we were or dered' to prepare small trunks In readi ness to leave If our Ministers so directed. Grand rush to pack trunks with most necessary and valued articles. All trunks in church. One trunk here and another in another corner. Great , confusion. While still packing, another order came to take hand luggage and repair to gate and march to -American legation. The reason for this order was that' the Ger man Minister, in attempting to go to the Tsung 11 Yamun, had been shot and killed. His Interpreter, Mr. Cortes, was wounded In the thigh, but ran through heavy firing of Chinese and finally suc ceeded" In reaching our compound. (Th"b German (Minister had been oscorted part way by German guards, and was to be protected by Chinese the rest of the way.) A German guard came for Mr. Cortes and carried htm to his legation on a stretcher under a straw matting arch. We marched Just behind with guard of American marines and armed mission aries. Schoolgirls and Chinese Christians followed. Perfect order prevailed. Mr. James, of the Imperial University, was Instrumental In securing the' largo grounds of a Prince just east of the Brit ish legation for the Chinese. This was a most fortunate measure for the Chinese and foreigners. The holding of this place protected us on the east. The 'defense of this place was largely in the hands of the Japanese, who were assisted by Ital ians, British, Americans and Chinese. The Chinese' were quite fond of the Japs liked to work for and with them. Moved to British Legation. Luncheon of crackers, sardines, scram bled eggs and tea was served to the 70 missionaries by Mrs. Squires, wife of the secretary. No sooner had we reached our legation than it was said we should prob ably be ordered directly on to the Brit ish legation, as it was reported that an attack was to be made that day at 4 P. M. So, passing through the Russian le gation, we came to our place of refuge in the British. American missionaries were given the Episcopal chapel (high church) for a dwelling-place. This is quite a small structure. During the afternoon a number of the gentlemen, with Chinamen, went back to the mission compound and found Chinese looting the place. They secured a number of trunks arid boxes. My steamer trunk was brought In, and now a steamer trunk and a small bundle and bag contain all my earthly posses sions. My bedding consisted of a steamer rug and a small sofa pillow. Mrs. Bailey loaned Dr. Mackey and myself a comforter and a pair of blankets. Continual Looting. The men, foreign and Chinese, were busy till day looting Chinese food shops and grain shops in our vicinity and bring ing stores on to this place. Foreign stores turned their stocks over to the foreign refugees. Carts and mules were seized on the street, and our reverend missionaries were driving them at full speed, laying up supplies of food and fuel. In the evenig over 70 tired missionaries sat down to a picnic supper in the church. Then where we're we all to sleep? A number of the gentlemen went out of doors, a few ladles were given rooms elsewhere, and the rest of us, men. women and children, slept In the church. We did not dare disrobe lest we. should have to flee for our lives. The night was warm, and the babies were cross, and tho rest Is better imagined than told. About 0 In the evening we were shocked by tho news that Professor James had been shot and captured by the Chinese. No word has been heard as to his ultimate fate. Now there were 414- foreigners and Chi nese" within the legation lines. We had 450 marines to defend us. Nor was the line of defense a short one. Besides the various legations and the Chinese place, we held a part of the wall, which wo felt was vital to our safety. If we gave, up this -stretch of city wall, It simply meant that the Chinese would plant their big guns there and turn 'them on us to our destruction. Under another cover I shall continue this narrative. Heretofore' while stllL at the Methodist Episcopal' compound, I mailed .letters giving events up to date of beginning this. v HE WON'T ANSWER. Two Posers That Bryan Fights w Shy of. x Chicago Tribune: It Is." useless to ask Mr. Bryan ques tions, for he will not answer them. Either he refuses point blank to do so,' as when the "query was put to him whether he would order the payment lb silver of the Interest on "coin" bonds' or he evrides the question, as when" he was 'asked tnis week what he thought ot the disfran chisement of the great mass of the negro voters of North, Carolina. .He would not say .what he thought, but replied that the Republican party had many years ago disfranchised the negro In the District of Columbia. The rejoinder to this Is, first, that the Congress which deprived the citizens of the District of Columbia, of local self-goyernment and forced them to submit to taxation without representa tion was barely-Republican in one branch and strongly Democratic. 'in the other. Furthermore, since that legislation was enacted there has been a Congress Demo-" cratlc in both branches with a Demo-, cratlo President to sign bills passed, by' it. That Congress did not repeal 'the leg islation, Mr. Bryan condemns. Refusal to repeal It when it couid h&ve ' been done Is Democratic approval of the policy of disfranchising white men In 'the Dis trict of Columbia. Mr. Bryan whlie In Congress made no attempt to give the ballot to the citizens of the district. -Nobody has disputed the wisdom, of. the pres ent method of governing that' part ofThe United" States. In the second place, the legislation, referred to disfranchised whites as well as blacks. In North Caro lina no whites are to be disfranchised. So this part of Mr. Bryan's answer was not responsive. . Neither was that part of it where he said that "tne race ques tion Is a serious question wherever It Is encountered"; "It will take all the Intelli gence of the white and black people to settle It"; and, therefore, "we would not take the chances 'of Increasing It by add-, ing to our population eight millions of people of a totally different race'." Amer ican sovereignty over the Philippines brings no race question into this country. The. Filipinos will not come here to com pete with -white or black labor and thus excite Its hostility, or to become citizens arid compete, with white men at the polls. No matter how often and how urgent ly Mr. 'Bryan may be 'asked what he thinks of the disfranchisement of black citizens in the South' and their- govern ment without their consent and their tax ation without representation, ne will al ways fail to give; a direct answer. He would not act thus were 'he the sincere, brave man his friends say he Is. "rue truth Is that Mr. Bryan's Southern sup porters, who are going to give him-about all the electoral votes he will get, say that the principle of the "consent of the governed," applies to brown men and the Philippines, but not to black men and North Carolina. Mr. Bryan agrees to the former proposition. He will neither af firm nor. deny the latter. Oregon Industries. Thomas W.

SPREAD OUT VERY THIN. The Standing Army's Power Over Citizens Is Not Alarming?. New Tork Sun. The excedelng thinness with which our Army will be spread over the United States after October 1 next, unless the present orders are modified. Is hardly ap preciated by the public. It Is known vaguely that of the hundred thousand men now In the army some 61,000 are In the ' Philippines, some thousands in China, Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska, but , of what that "remainder" consists few persons have any real Idea. In the Philippines we have 25 regiments of so-called volunteers, but by the terms of the act "authorizing their enlistment they must be mustered out of the serv ice of the United States on or before June 30, 1901. By the same date, the 65,000 men in the regular army must be reduced to 27,000 men. The regular army In the United States consists now of these troops, some of them under orders for service in the Philippines: Two companies of en gineers' out of five; two companies of the Signal Corps out of five; seven squad rons of cavalry out of 30 In the service; 59 batteries of artillery out of 98, and 13 battalions of infantry out of 75. After the last day of next June, these numbers must be reduced by rather more than one-half, or the enlisted strength of each unit named above must be reduced by more than "one-half. The actual number of posts garrisoned by the Army in the United States has not changed very greatly; but tho strength of the various garrisons has been reduced, until In some cases there are hardly enough men to keep the post In order. This state of affairs Is most apparent in the artillery. For themllllpns of dollars' worth of ar tillery equipments forts, guns, ordnance supplies, completed and In. process of manufacture conservative experts have said that upward of 18.000 men were neqes sary; not simply to man the guns in war, but to keep them and their emplace ments In condition In time of peace. "Wo have about 12,000 men, in our artillery regiments as they are, of whom more than one-third are out of the country. The 8000 men still In the country are in 57 posts, of which 11 afe garrisoned by single batteries, although the plan of ar mament calls for several batteries at most of these places. Only 11 posts have gar risons of two or more batteries. In many cases there are subposts to single bat tery posts; In these cases, the already small garrisons are dlminshed by the de tails sent to these places. Thus our ar tillery, never numerous enough to keep the expensive '"plant" In good condition, has been reduced until most of the plant Is left uncared for. The cavalry Is garrisoning 20 posts, of which 1-i are " singletroop posts. Fort Myers, near "Washington, has a garrison of four troops; and five other posts have each two troops. There are only 31 posts In the entire United States which are garrisoned by Infantry; and only 11 of these have more than one -company as garrison. Six of the 31 are in Alaska. At the beginning of 1898, the .last year when our army was doing strictly home service, there were 93 garrisoned posts; there are 117 posts garrisoned not by 25,000 men, but by about 14,000 men. That garrisons are necessary, not only for the artillery posts to protect the guns and stores, but at Infantry and cavalry posts, the outbreak of the Pillager In dians In October, 1898, -shows. The garri sons of our army are really only out posts; that Is, they are hardly stronger than an outpost to an army should be. But they differ from outposts In ttiU re spect: There Is a main body back of showing an exceptionally attractive line of Men's Fall Weight Suits In Fancy Scotch effects, Conservative patterns in Wor steds, Imported Tweeds and Meltons, and Strictly All wool Cheviots, at $15.00 Handsomely made garments with a charm, a newness, a harmony, an originality about them that catches the eye at once. Men's Suits from $1 to $35. Men's Overcoats from $10 to $40. The "BREWER" $3.00 JU a - mm RELIHBLE GLGTHIER every outpost, while there 13 nothing back, of our garrisons. Appeal to American Consul.

INTERESTING, IF TRUE Ton Can, Try It for Yourselt and Prove It. One grain of the active principle In Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can per form for himself In the following manner: Cut hard-boiled egg Into very small pieces, as It would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of tho tablets in a bottle or Jar containing warm water heated ta 98 degrees (the temperature of tho body), and keep it lit this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely di gested as it would have been In the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
