War Expence.
LONDON. Sept. 4. Thelatest relia
ble Pekln news is now i-rlv a fort
night old. An undated dispatch has
boon received at Vlennu reporting that
the allied troops marched through thu
Imperial palace Aug. 28, but It was
known that this dute had been fixed by
the allied commanders for. a formal
promenade.
There Is no other news of any kind.
The Hung Kong correspondent of The
Dally Mull suys that the Canton olli
clals have been ordered to transmit all
possible revenue to the north for war
expenses, and that all pay of official!
from the viceroy downwards has been
stopped during hostilities.
The Vienna correspondent of The
Standard telegraphs tht he learns from
a good source that the Germans, Aus
trian and Itulluns will remain in Pe
kln after the Russians withdraw.
Shunghul and Hong'Kong dispatches
express the utmost astonishment at the
idea of evacuating Tekin.
The Dally News suggests editorially
that Russia may have made secret
terms with China behind the backs ol
the powers. The Standard expresses
gratification at the explanation that
the United States government does not
approve Huuslu's proceedings.
The Dally Express publishes an In
terview with a New York Chinaman,
Liu Chuuh, how staying in London,
who admits Li Hung Chang's "dupli
city and rooted antagonism to Western
Ideas," but thinks that the allies have
no choice but to negotiate with him o
to retire from Chin altogether.
M. De Dlowltz, the Paris correspon
dent of The Times asserts that the or
igin of Russia's decision to evacuate
I'ekin was her desire to frustrate the
schemes of Kmperor William and to
correct thu Impression produced by the
kaiser's speech in attributing to Em
peror Nicholas the Inltlutlve In the ap
pointment of Field Marshal Count Von
Waldermx' to the command of the Inter
national troo;s.
PEKIN'S STORY TOLD.
Celebration Over tne Ileacue of the
lloleKed.
PEKIN, Aug. 11, by post, via Tien
Tain A medal will be struck commem
orating the siege of Pekln. It will bear
the legend "Men, nut walls, make a
city."
In the grounds of the British legation,
where a handful of men withstood tht
millions of the Chinese capital for 56
days, a fhetnorable celebration Is in
progress tonight In vindication of that
principle. Missionaries, assembled about
Bell lower, are singing the Doxology.
Rockets are blazing. Soldiers and civ
ilians of all nationalities are fraterniz
ing. The women are applauding the
sound of the cannon that are smashing
the yellow roofs of the forbidden city.
The tired Sikhs ore planting their
ten is on the lawn; and the American
and Russian contingents are lighting
camp fires along the stretch of turf ex
tending beyond the Tartar wall.
Through the ruins of the foreign set
tlement un eager, cosmopolitan crowd Is
Jostling Indians, Cossacks, legation
ladies, diplomats, Americans from the
Philippines and French disciplinarians,
from Saigon, who kept discreetly to the
rear while the fighting was In pro
gress, but came conspicuously to the
front -when loptlng began. Only Japa
nese who hsve earned the first plooe,
are absent.
Resident foreigners welcome the lux
ury of walking about with Immunity
from bullets. The newcomers are anx
ious to Inspect the evidences of a his
toric defense. These barricades are, af
ter all, the most wonderful sight In Pe
kln. The barriers hedging the British
legation are a market of stone and
brick wnlls and earthworks. Sand
bugs shield over space. The tops of the
walls have niches for the rlllemen and
the buildings, at their porticos and
windows, have armor boxes, bags
stuffed with dirt and pillows too.
Back of the United States legation is
a work named '.'Fort Meyers," which
the marines held, completely screening
both sides of the walls, with steps lead
ing to it. There is a toopholed bar
rier across the wall which faces a sim
ilar Chinese work a few yards away.
Another wa'l bars Legation street In
front of the German legation; and con
fronting the enemy's barricades 'Within
those limits are yet more walls, enab
ling the foreigners to contract the area
of defense if pressed.
The tops of the American and Brit
ish buildings were badly torn by the
t'hinese shells. The rest of the foreign
settlement was almost demolished. Two
thousand eight hundred shells fell there
during the first three weeks of the
bombardment, 400 In one day. Buckets
full of bullets were gathered In the
grounds.
Four hundred and fourteen people
lived in the compound through the
greater part of' the siege. Three hun
dred und four marines assisted by 85
volunteers, commanded by the English
captain, Poole, defended the place,
lileven civilians were killed and 19
wounded. Fifty-four marines and
sailors were killed und 112 wounded.
The Americans lost seven killed and
11 wounded. Mr. Gilbert Reid who was
wounded in the feet was the only Amer
ican civilian injured. Two foreign ladies
were wounded. The reeep'tlon which the
survivors gave the army was worth the
hardships the troops had undergone.
The entrance was nnt spectacular. Sir
Alfred Oaseleo with his staff and a com
pany of Sikhs waded up n bed of sew
age in the canal under the tartar wall
The besieged removed the barricades
and when the gates swung Inward and
the British colors appeared there arose
a great continuous cheer on both sides.
Generals, soldiers and correspondents
scrambled up the banks throuch the
filth, elbowing to be firet. Men end wo
men surrounded the rescuers and shook
the hands of tho Sikhs, patting them un
the back. Everybody was hustled tx-
cltedly along Into the legation ground
where the colors were planted. The sol
diers surrounded the well Which had
been the salvation of the besieged.
The mlnlstors and officers demanded
the latest news on both eldes.
An 'hour afterward General Chaffee
riding at the head of the Fourteenth
United States Infantry marched to th
tartar wall.
PESSIMISTIC BELIEF.
European Treu Consider Concert of Na
tions Ruptured.
LONDON, Sept. 8. The publication
of the text of the Russian proposals
has Intensified rather than diminished
the suspicions entertained by England
of Russia's proceedings. The rupture
of tho European concert is considered
an accomplished fact. Opinions differ,
however, as to the way In which the
powers will now group themselves.
Some papers think that Great Britain.
Japan and the triple alliance will stand
together In refusing to leave Pekln.
The Dally Telegraph, which expressel
regret that President McKlnley "has
committed the United States to follow
tho Russian lead," considers, however,
that Japan, "whose consistent policy
since the war of 18D4 has been to con
ciliate und effect a rapprochement
with China" will throw In her lot with
Russia and will be reluctantly followed
by France, who does not dare to rlsh
a divergence with Russia.

Rilled by Pennsylvania Farmers.
HARRISBURO, Pa., Sep. 4. Francis
Frohm, alius Strohm, alias Jones,
known as Shorty, was riddled with bul
lets by a party of farmers yesterday In

him In the mountuln. Frohm shot at

PREPARING FOR FLIGHT.
Kroger ami Steyn Have Oone to llnrber
ton Hrltl.h I'imIiIiiit Forward.
PRETORIA. Sept. 3. Mr. Kruger
and Mr. Steyn have gone to Barber
ton. It Is believed that they are pre
paring for flight. The general opinion
Is that the war Is now very near the
end; but, should the Boers construct
strongholds in the bush, on the veldt,
or elsewhere, and begin a system of
raids, the Brltsh would require further
large supplies of horses.
General Buller moved 14 miles north
westward along the Lydenberg road
and crossed Crocodile river to Iludfon
teln. He found the Boers concentrating
In the Crocodile mountains.

tive to going on strike and that 75 per

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. There is no
doubt that General Chaffee will be ap

It Is stated at the war department
that the distinguished services which
General Chaffee has rendered in China
entitle him to this consideration.

Excursion Train Crashed Into Milk
Train at Hatfield, I'a Canting Fright
ful Wrack Uuggy Containing Foui
Lover Struck Near Syracuse and Thret
of the Occupants Killed.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept S. Thlrteer
persons killed and over 40 others in
jured Is the appalling record of a real
end collision between an excursion
train and a milk train on the Bethle
hem branch of the Philadelphia an!
Reading railway yesterday morning al
Hatfield, Pa., 27 miles nurth of this city
The wrecked train consisted of 10 da)
coaches, and was the first section of e
large excursion made up of people fronr
Bethlehem, Allentown and surroundlnj
towns to Atlantic City. This section
carried only thoso persons who lived In
Bethlehem and Allentown and left the
Union depot In Bethlehem at 6:05 a. m.
exactly 35 minutes behind the milk
train. The latter train consisted of tw
milk cars and two passenger coaches
and had stopped at every station on
the road from Bethlehem en route to
Philadelphia.
Care C ruilied Like E Shell.
At 6:54 the milk train drew up at the
milk platform at Hatfield and in les
than two minutes the special excursion
train, running at the rate of 35 mllet
an hour crashed Into the rear of the
milk train. The locomotive plowed
through the two passenger conches and
crushed them as If they were egg shells
The excursion train was a picture ol
Indescribable horror. The locomotive
was a mass of bent and broken Iron and
firmly held the bodies of its engineei
and firemnn beneath Its great weight
Behind the engine, six of the 10 cars
were also a ma?s of wreckage. The flrsl
car was broken In twain, and the othet
five cirs were thrown on their sides,
completely demolished.
Nine persons were killed In the first
two cars and the others In those
coaches were badly malned. As soon
as the crash came a terrible cry rose
from smashed cars, and those who had
not been injured quickly crawled or
Jumped from the cars and went to the
assistance of the Injured. M'iny were
pinned down by wreckage and had to
be freed bv the liberal use of axes.
With three four exceptions the dead
were killed instantly, the others dying
on their way to the hospital.
FIXING THE BLAME.
Evident That IUI field Wreck Was Re
sult of Fktmeotie's lllnnder.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sep. 4. It
seems to be the generally accepted con
clusion that the appallng wreck Sun
day on the Philadelphia and Reading
railway at Hatfield, 27 miles from this
city which resulted in the loss of thir
teen lives and more or less serious In
juries to 53 persons was due to negll
gence or direct disregard of Blgnals.
While the Reading company will not be
prepared to make any formal state
ment until later, the principal line of
investigation Is being drawn about W.
S. Groves, train dispatcher at Philadel
phia; B. Beldlor, operator at Souderton,
2 1-2 miles from Hatfield, and John
Davis, engineer of the colliding excur
sion train, who Is dying in a hospital
at Bethlehem.
According to James Benner, flag
man at Souderton station, the milk
train passed that station on time and
following the rule of the company
which requires any train coming after
another within five minutes to be stop
ped, he placed a red Hag between the
tracks. In three minutes the excursion
came thundering along making 40 miles
an hour. Davis made no effort to atop
and waved Benner to one side. The lat
ter had only time to secure his flag
and spring out of danger as the train
swept by. Looking upward he saw that
Beldler had a clear signal set. Beldler
when questioned said he had received
no orders to stop the train. Graves is
supposed to have sent such orders. Be
sides, according to General Superin
tendent Sweigard, all agents must stop
a train, orders or no orders, if there be
five minutes time or less between them.
More llenlhs Expected to Result.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 4. Reports
from Bethlehem and Allentown are to
the effect that none of those Injured In
the terrible collision at Hatfield, Pa.,
on the Philadelphia and Reading rail
way have died, although several are
not expected to live.

charge the anarchist was tried. It was
at first believed Brescl would be tried
on the charge of treason In which case
the penalty would have been death.
Brescl maintained his attitude of cyn
ical Indifference. While the Indict
ment, which was very long, was being
read, he scanned the faces of the au
dience without any sign of fear ot
effrontery. The Indictment showed
that the assassin had Indulged in In
cessant target practice, and that he had
prepared bullets so as to render them
more dangerous.
He declared he had decided to kill
King Humbert after the events In Mi
lan and Sicily, "to avenge the misery
of the people and my own." He added
"I acted without advice or accom
pllces."
