IN A PEKIN COMPOUND
EXPERIENCES- OF A MISSIONARY
DURING SIEGE. .
Dr. Eliza 'b. 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.

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

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.
The point of thi3 experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
to the egg in the bottle it will do to tho
egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing
else will rest and Invigorate the stomach
so safely and effectually. Even a little
child can talco Stuart's Tablets
with safety and benefit If its digestion 13
weak and the thousands of cures accom
plished by their regular dally use aro
easily explained when It Is understood
that they are composed of vegetable es
sences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Gold
en Seal, which mingles with tho food and
digest it thoroughly, giving the over
worked stomach a chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply Irritate and inflame the intestines.
When enough food J eaten and prompt
ly digested there will be no constipation,
nor, in fact, will there be disease of any
kind, because good digestion means good
health In every organ.
Tho merit and success of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are world-wide and they
are sold at the moderate price of 50 cents
for full-sized package in every drug storo
In the United States and Canada, as well
aa In Europe.
For the information of those Interested
a little book will be mailed free by ad
dressing F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich ,
giving briefly the symptoms of tho various
forms of stomach weakness, causes and
cure.
