tiuiiH for tho Cosmopolitan imu.'u.itiu

He told n Htory to tbo uli'cot tlmt if be

leading business college in Portland. IIo
worked nuarly ovury business bottao in
town and succeeded in getting ("' or
more subscriptions from uacb one.
After securing tlto 75 cunts tbe young
man presented a receipt sigir-d by tbe
Cosmopolitan Publishing company, pur
In-- name, wbicb be claimed to bo II. j
Jteiiiiett. A note of tbo receipt rondo an
follows :
"In consideration of tbo exceeding low

pail In ndvanct), uithor to our agent or

The young man claimed tliat bo rt
ct'ivud over 800 subscriptions in Portland
just beforo ho arrived bore. It is under-
stood that bo has been operating
throughout tbo Eastern otates under tbe
name of II. Uenuott Woodson, but boro
lie dropped tbo "Woodson" part of it.
It is also learned that bo lias been tir

It is claimed that bu tool: in over $2000
la t year in less than seven months
throughout tho Kast.
A man horo has juat received a per

Ni:w VoitK, .luuo 28. Tim following
wblu was received at tbo Methodist
euaid today from Oho Koo fioin the Hov.
Sir, llrown, ono of their missionaries in
tln Tien TbIii district. It is dated
Jiuie'.'S: '
' .Mission doBtroynd by lire. About 1(10
killed, I think thoro is a serious risk for
'nr foruignorB. Will return in u few
'lays lo Tien Tain. Hhiill I return homoV
Will you pormit?"
tho mission la meant the mission
"ITIen Tain, but juat how much of that
Mission iadeatroyed the homo board does
'"it know what to infor. Tho mission
uro Is in throe compounds, as they uro
wiled, Ono compound la composed of
'wo missions nnd a church, nuother of n
mission and a school, and a third of u
mission, a hospital nnd n school. In nil,
the property of the Methodist Episcopal
board is valued at something more than
$50,000.
Th ii Rev. Dr. M. I?. Leonard, secretary
of the Missionary Society, said:
"Presumably those killed were natives,
but it is not clear even that they were
native Christians. Many of them may
have been Ilnxers or Chineso soldiers.
Tho nek for foreigners evidently is in
Tien Tain, where Mr. llrown expects to
go himself in a few days.
Dr. Li'oniml thinks that none of the
Methodist missionaries were among tbo
killed or Dr. llrown would certainly have
mentioned the fact.
GREAT ANXIETY
IN ENGLAND
Wcrcaboiits of the Foreign Mjnisters
Arc Still Unknown.
London, .Hino 28. As was the case on
tho occasion of the relief of Tien Tein,
tbo Associated Press was able to give tbe
foreign olllee, the adiinrality and tbo
Queen tbo first news of the icfieuo ofi
Admiral Seymour. Tbo ollicials were
greatly relieved when this informu'.ion
was convoyed to them, and expressed
their hearty appreciation at tbo welcome
tidinus. An the same time it is iceng
nixed that tho advices of the Associated
Press from Che Koo also add to the
anxieties legurding tbo fato of tho
legutionors and foreigners of Pekin,- who,
it wiih hoped, might be with Seymour.
Tbo world again has to depend on
rumor in legard to the fate of tho sup
posed exiles from Iho Chinese capital. It
Is generally accepted that they have been
comnelled to leave Pekin. but whether
eoastwiirds, under a Cbinoso escort, or
ton possible new capital, their plight
must excite the gravest anxiety, as even
if they are in tho care of n Chineso escort
this is hardly considered a good guarantee
of the same safety of the "foreign devils"
in u country swarming with their moBt
virulent enemies.
A telegram from Jardine, Mattherson
it Co., dated .Shanghai, this afternoon,
suggests that the ministers are still at
Pekin, but admits that there ia no news
from the capital. The ttlegram adds :
"Admiral Seymour arrived at Tien
Tain with 321 of his force wounded, bti
sidea 02 killed. Tbo damage done to
Tien Thin baa been much exaggerated.
Shanghai is quiet."
Other dispatches from Shanghai reiter
ate tho aniioniicemonts of the massacres
of tbe native Christians In tho Inland
districts, which rjval tbe Armenian,
hornuB. Tho ollloiala of tho place,
watched by gunbona, made a show of
protecting the missionaries, but there is
not even u pretento of protection for tho
convertH in the interior, who havo been
butcbeietl by wholesale.

eral MticArthur this morning: "Adju

limtUN, June 28. The Vonvaerts says :

orders bear the date of June IS and 19."
Washington, June 2S. Minister Wu

noon nnd exhibited the following cable
gram to Secretary Hay:
"Cantjti, Juno 28. The legation
ministers having left Pekin are now
twelve miles from Tien Tsin, with Ad
miral Seymour Li lluxct Chang."
The minister explained that the cable
gram reached him from the Chineso
minister in Loudon. He believed the
dispatch to bo accurate, but the state do-
paitment odimals are inclined to doubt
it as yet.
