Forty of the Ringleader Placed In Prison at New Orleans. CHICAGO, Sept 4 A special to the Chronicle from Now Orleans says: IPKtead of having obtained a (rood start on her Ion Journey, the British transport Montcalm with 1400 mules for Suth Africa, which cleared Saturday nlfrht from this port, has been anchored In midstream a few miles below New Orleans for forty-eight hours. A mu tiny on board caused the delay in the sailing: of the transport. English stok ers refused to work alongside of the Danish stokers and Chicago muleteers rebelled against the quality of food furnished. All day the acting British consul at this port. Mr. Donaelly, the agenta of the vessel and a commission of British ship captains wrestled with the problem which confronts the big steamship. Late last night scores of the ringleaders of the mutiny were placed In prison. The Montcalm cleared Saturday night and dropped down the river a few miles. Intending to start for the gulf on Sun day. Sunday, however, the British stokers refused to go to work. They hud learned that four Danish stokers had be-n given places on the ship's crew and they refused to han dle a shovel of coal until they had been displaced. Then a complication developed In another quarter. Seventy muleteers had been shipped and of the seventy thirty hailed from Chicago. The Chl cagoens had had one meal from ship's fare and went on a strike. Efforts at a compromise fell flat. As a last re sort the troubles were reported to the acting British consul. The latter called 'n a commission of British ship captains who happened to be In port and or dered them to sit as a commission upon the ship's stores. They did so and re ported them clean and wholesome. The agents said that the Danish stok ers would stay and the captain was or dered at once to start for sea. He at tempted to carry out his orders but the men rebelled. The muleteers began to make all kinds of threats and a riot was In progress on board when the law was appealed to and a wholesale roundup of the ringleaders was inaugurated. At first the report came from the point off which the Montcalm was anchored that seventy-flve men had been made prisoners, but only forty were marched to Jail. They were the British stokers. It seems that 'he American muleteers got wind of what was going to happen and made their escape. The stokers 8re being held on the charge of contem plating a breach of the peace, until the acting British consul and the captain of the Montcalm decide upon what course to pursue. RL'RRIA TO GET THREE PROVINCES (Continued from page one.) the northern railway It would be very difficult to convey supplies to an army of occupation In winter without Russian cooperation. Pefore sending a circular to the queen's representatives abroad, giving them a definite outline of the British policy In the situation that has now arisen. Lord Salisbury will wait to hear the opinion of Sir Claude Mac Donald. This has not been obtained in full owing to the Interruption of tele graphic communication. No precise news of the iitate of af fairs at Pekln is yet forthcoming al though telegrams received last nlgbt give some lndliation of the situation down to a week ago. Several members of the customs staff at Pekln arrived at Shanghai yester day, ac ordlng to a Standard oorrespjn dent. They state that the relief of the legations was effected m03t opportunely as it was afterwards discovered that, probably with the cooperation of some traitor, a mine had besn driven through one small section of the boundary that had been left Intrenched and that this mine the Chinese Intended to fire on the following day.

EXCEPT SATURDAY. the Lowr Columbia, Impossible to exaggerate the feeling of amazement and disgust In Shanghai at Russia's rroposal to withdraw from iVkin. The Times correspondent In Pekln has recolvfd from a friend holding a high i diplomatic position a letter la which It Is stated that the origin and motive of Russia's recent action are to be found in a desire to correct the Impression provided by Emperor William's, state ment that the appointment of Von Wal dersee to the chief command of the al lied forces was largely due to the Ini tiative of the ctar. This statement was not In accordance with the facts and could not be formally contradicted, so Rusia adopted the expedient of pro posing evacuation of Pekln as an In direct method of frustrating Germany's schemes and of effacing the bad Impres sion produced In France by the Cassel speech. NEW YORK. Sept 4.-A dispatch to the Herald from Berlin says: It is learned from a thoroughly well informed source that before Count Von Bulow left for Norderney he had an Interview with Count Von der Osten Sacken, Russian ambassador to the Berlin court. In the course of which he informed the latter confidentially In re gard to Germany's attitude In the Chin ese question. The St. Petersburg gov ernment therefore Is thoroughly In formed in regard to the Intentions of Germany. The Chinese legation has received a telegram from LI Hung Chang accord ing to which the express has asked him to associate with himself with a view to peace negotiations Prince Ching, Gen eral Yung LI and two viceroys of the southern provinces. Of the latter, one Is known to he unfriendly to foreign er. (Copyrighted. 1900, Associated Press.) SHANGHAI, Sept. Dispatches an nouncing that the American govern ment refuses tc agree to the withdrawal of the trojps from Pekln before satis faction for the outrages upon and the losses of Its subjects is given, have been received here and applauded by the en tire foreign colony In Shanghai. Any other policy, according to the business mn and missionaries with whom the Associated Press representative has talked, would be a vita! blow to the prestige of the foreigners and would weaken th?lr status In China. The local English papers fiercely de nounce th proposals to evacuate Pfkin and say that the Chin0 wr.uld inter pret evacuation as defeat. Thj masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chin ese arms are victorious. The Chinese papers printed In Shanghai contain long circumstantial accounts of al leged Chinese victories at Pekin, Tien Tsln and Tung Chan, and the shops In the native quarter display for sale lurid pictures of the Celestial army driving the European soldiers lnt- the sea at Taku and cutting them to pieces at Tien Tsln. They also show pictures of the foreign admirals being tortured In the presence of the viceroys. Vice-Admiral Seymour Is represented with his arms pinlnn?d kowtowing before the throne. The people necept these rejerts ar.d pictures as correctly representing the situation, and consider the reports of the English rresa as "merely for 'Ign lies." The European community continues U demand the destruction of Pekln and the exemplary punishment of the offi cials, deeming Indemnity and paper promises of new treaties Inadequate. Undoubtedly the Information In detail of massacres of forgners dally received influences this sentiment. The dowager empress Is living In the yamen at Tal Yuan Fu In Shan Si prov ince. Fifty missionaries have been slaughtered in that yamen under or ders, practically In the presence of the viceroy. Three were beheaded In the Inner court and the others were killed barbarously In the outer court yard. Thoir bodies were thrown to the dogs. The empresa has ordered a commis sioner tc investigate the conduct of the southern viceroys who made a compact with the foreign consuls, and their de gradation Is expected. No Investiga tion of the officials opposed to foreign ers ha. been ordered. The Associated Press representative learns from official sources the facts of the killing of several American women missionaries. At the request of the mission board the details were withheld out of regard for the feeling of the relatives of the murdered women; but other prominent Americans who hav.- long antagonized the policy of sending women to isolated Inland posts think It Important that the facts should be known. The names of the victims are withheld by request. Two of these women were captured while attempt ing to leave the stations where they were located, were led about the coun try naked, were repeatedly outraged and finally killed by a method too re volting to be described. Twi other American women were on coming to the coast with a party which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The wora.'n fell exhausted and wei taken by the Chinamen Into the presence ct ths local official. They wore prostrated upon the execution block ntul a foint male of beheading thorn. Cm of them became hysterical and laughed, and thinking her Insane tile Chinese escorted her to the coast because of their superstition regarding the Insane. On the Journey, however, the woman was repeatedly criminally assaulted by her escort. The other wo man, aiter being exhibited miked for some days and suffering assault by sev eral' men. was tortured to death by the same shameful methods as were nr.icJUvd In the other cases. Two Swedish ml.-wlomiry women arrived at Shanghai after similar experiences ex cept that their lives wero snared. The foregoing are matters of official record. The fourteen English missionaries, in eluding six women and four children, who were murdeml at Chu Chau In the province of Che Klang, according to the story of a Spanish priest who es caped, were killed with hay forks and ancient spears by the magistrates' body guard and their naked bodies were hangvd from ttves. The Incident make a lenient policy unpopular In Shanghai, where all the victims had friends. Tln-ards appeared today In all pub lic places exhorting foreigners to op pose a compromise with the govern ment, and attacking LI Hung Chang, quoting the remark to Consul-General GcXKlnJw credited to Earl IJ that "The foreigners In Pekln, except the minis ters, were of no account." CHICAGO. Sept. 4. A dispatch to the Record from Shanghai gays: "The American Association here has Just met and agreed to re-iuest Special Commissioner Rockhlll to ask Presi dent McKlnley not to give his consent to the withdrawal of the American troops from Pekin, to refuse to recog nlie tho empress dowager and LI Hung Chang and to lend his Influence toward the restoration of the emperor. Mr. Rockhlll will remain for the pre sent In Shanghai until he can communi cate with the admiral of the United States squadron." SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4-Lleu:en- ant Von Krohn. of the German navy. who was w !th one of the relief columns unIer Admiral Seymour which made a futile attempt to rescue the beleagured foreign legatloners at Pekln In June. has arrived here on the steamer Doric, much the worse for his experience at the hands of the Boxers. He lost 8n eye In the retreat to Tien Tsln and Is on his way home on sick leave. Speaking of his experience. Lieuten ant Von Krohn said: "Our serious troubles began after we left Tien Tsln for Pekln. The Boxers destroyed the railroad In front of us tnd beKlnd us. and In spite of our precau tions cut off our line of communication with Tien Tsln. Provisions began to run short and. as the only means of preservation from total annihilation, Admiral Seymour determined to turn back. "That march back to Tien Tsln was a terrible experience. We had been out eight days, had been subjected to a gall ing fife during the entire period and had run short of ammunition. We were not prepared for a siege cam paign or we could have made It more Interesting for the Boxers and. I might add. for the Imperial troop. It was not until we started on our retreat that we realized that the Imperial troops were supporting the Boxers, Troops from Pekln, armed with modern weap ons and apparently well drilled, closed In on us and throughout our retreat we had to contend against tremendous odds. "Our most eventful experience was during the night of the 22d when we were attempting to take a long night march under cover of darkness. We rtached Chee Ku. which is about seven miles from Tien Tsln, at 4 o'clock In the morning and there ran Into a for midable body of troops holding a fort on the opposite side of the river. We could se the Chinese soldiers Iss than VK) yards away standing by their guns, hut BJf they did not shoot on our ap proach we presumed they w-.to not go ing to molest us. "One of our officers stepped forward and asked If any of their number could speak English and as If this were a signal for the beginning of hostilities they opened fire with machine guns and rifles. The fire was galling, but It caused the column to swerve only for a momnt. Then we sought shelter and began picking off the gunners by rifle fire. Then a dash was made across the river. The German troops captured two guns and the English took another, and no time wag lost In turning them upon the Chinese, who were soon -put to flight. We were subsequently in formed that the fort was garrisoned by 8000 imperial troops and Boxers. They were routed through sheer pluck and bravery. After that eventful ex perience we managed to reach Tien Tsln with little difficulty." MINERS TO BE RESCUED. Transport Lawton Will Sail for Nome Within a Week to Bring Away the DeBtitute.
