Baron Yon Ketteler Dragged From His Horse
and Cut to Pieces—Important News
Received at Washington.
Several thousand Japanese have left
Taku for Tien Tsin, and altogether 13,-
000 Japanese have landed. The inter-
national troops now aggregate nearly
20,000, and Japan is preparing to send
20,000 more. With British, American
and other troops ordered to go, proba-
bly 60,000 men will be available in a
month.
The Tong Shan refugees and the for-
eign engineers at Che Foo estimate the
Chinese troops now in the field as 2
000 drilled troops at Lutai, 25000 a
Shang Hai Wan,
Tien Tsin and 150,000 at Pekin.
An imperial decree published
Shanghai asserts that the Imperial
ace in Pekin has been burned, and
the attack on the palace was made by
revolting Chinese troops. It is also as
serted that Lin, viceroy of Nankin,
received instructions from Pekin to
form the foreign consuls that the 1
tions at Pekin “have been arr

before Pekin. Boxers from all sections
are swarming there.
Two important cablegrams were r¢
ceived by Secretary Hay Sunday. from
United States Consul Gene ral Goodnow,
at Sh: anghai. The date is understood to
be that of Saturday. The text is with-
hela, but the consul states in substance,
as follows:
It is rumored in Shanghai that the
German minister to Pekin, Baron Von
Keteler, was killed at Pekin on the 18th
of June. On the 23d of June three oi
the legation buildings were still stand-
ing—the others had been burned. On
the 26th of June a dispatch wa received
at Shanghai from Yung Lu, believed to
be the viceroy of the province of Ch
where the principal troubles have oc
curred, stating that the other ministers
were safe. Dispatches to Shanghai from
different sources indicate that Prince
Tuan, father of the heir apparent, seems
to be absolutely in control at Pel
and that his attitude is the worst poss
ble and most hostile to foreigners.
Cables from Shanghai confirm the re
port of the butchery of Baron ve
Ketteler, the German minister, on Junc
18. The ambassador was riding on Le-
gation street, when he was
Chinese troops and Boxers, dragged
irom his horse and killed. His body
was hacked to pieces with swords. T

their bodies thrown into the flames.
DISAGREEABLE OUTLOOK.
Lord Wolsely Declares It the Most Serious

At a banquet given in London in
commemoration of the anniversary of
the queen's first review of the volunteers |
in 1860, Field Marshal Lord Wolseley,
commander-in-chief of her majesty’
forces, declared that the present outlook
was not agreeable for the world gen
erally, while there had never been
time since the downfall of
when so many clouds were hanging
Great Britain. He instanced
Africa, China and Ashanti.
Nevertheless he expressed confidence
in the military spirit of Great
He remarked that 500,000 ular
were actually under arms, while the. vol-
unteers numbered 250,000, of which |
number 11,000 were serving in South
Africa, this being the first occasion since
the formation of the volunteer force that
they had been employed in active ser-
vice.
China possesses every requisite for
overrunning the world. She has a pop

MANY FALL IN BATTLE.
Carter’s Kumassi Expedition Was
Ambushed by Ashantis.
Telegrams from Cape Coast Castle,
say: Colonel Carter left Kiwassa on the
morning of June 26 with the intention
of reinforcing Captain Hall at Bekwali
with 400 men, 200 carriers, a seven-
pounder and a Maxim.
When half a mile from Dompoassi he
was fired upon heavily from the bush.
Captain Ronpell and sev eral men fell at
the first fire.
The casing of the water jacket split
after halt an hour's firing and nine men,
including Lieutenant Edwards, who
were working the seven- pounder, were
put out of action half an hour later.
Major Wilkinson was shot.
The force then charged the bush and
discovered a stockade 30 yards distant
in the bush so carefully concealed that
its existence vould not be suspected.
The stockade was carried at the point of
the bayonet and the force retired.
The casualties were six officers and
87 men. The enemy's loss was 50 killed
and many wounded. It was estimated
that the natives numbered 10,000, one-
half of whom had muskets.

THE CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
GEN. DAVIS’ REPORT.
He Says That Charity Has Had a Pauper-
izing Effect and Asks That It
be Discontinued.
The war department makes public a
report by Gen. Davis, on conditions in
Puerto Rico, growing out of the efforts |
|
to relieve the suffering caused by the
cyclone of August 8, 1899. The report,
after stating that the island is the most |
populated of any in the West |
densely
Indies group, save, perhaps, Barbadoes,
draws the conclusion that the number
of laborers exceeds the demand, result-
ing in low wages and a narrow margin |
against starvation.
The recent war was followed by re-
duced prices and loss of certain mar-
kets. Planters consequently put in
smaller crops and the peons found less
employment. The storm made the lat-
ter class absolutely helpless, at least
100,000 being without homes or food.
The important part of Gen. Davis’
port is the statement that the free dis-
tribution of food has had a pauperizing
effect upon the islanders. They have
become impressed with the idea that
government by the United States means
the free supply of all necessities of life.
Consequently many are indifferent to
the raising of crops or seeking employ-
ment.
In consequence Gen. Davis found him-
self compelled to retrench on the
amount issued, and to expend part of
the appropriation in road work, thus
forcing the able-bodied to earn their liv-
ing. He advises that no more supplies
be sent to the island, and the secretary
of war directs that distribution entirely
cease July 1s.
ALLIES WILL HAVE 80.000.
The Nations Will Make Up a Great Army to
Conquer the Chinese.
As a result of negotiations between
the powers, an agreement has been ar-
rived at which provides for the main-
tenance of the statu quo as regards
spheres of influence and commercial
agreements, and also respecting the na-
ture of the guarantees and compensa-
tions which will be demanded from
China. According to the understanding
the international army of occupation will
consist of 80,000 men. Russia and Japan
will provide 12,000 each; Great Britain
will provide 10,000 men, France 8,000,
and Germany, American and the other
powers 5,000 each.

TOOK IN PARIS EXPOSITION.
Two Ohio Boys Make “the Trip on Little
Money—Stranded in New York.
Elmo E. Goodfellow and Harry Duck-
el, 18-year-olds, of Springfield, Ohio,
ran away from home on May 5, to visit
the Paris exposition. To provide for the
expenses of the trip they had $90. That
night they started for New York on the
bumpers of a freight train. A $3 tip to
an employe of the Atlantic transport
line gained them the opportunity to
work their passage across on the steam-
ship Minneapolis. They arrived in Lon-
don on the evening of the celebration
of the fall of Pretoria.
After seeing some of the sights of
London they bought cheap round-trip
tickets for Paris and spent six days do-
ing the fair. When their money ran
low they returned to London and asked
permission to work their passage back
to New York on the Minneapolis. This
the steamship people refused and the
boys stowed themselves away on board
her, arriving in New York last Sunday.

More complete and definite returns
have been received concerning the rich

that this is one of the greatest strikes
ever made in that vicinity, as important
as the strike at Nome before.
Several individual fortunes running
as high as $2,225,000 have been taken
out. Parties of two or three working

taking out $1,000 a day. It is reliably
estimated that one stretch of beach 600
feet long by an average of go feet in
width has yielded $475,000 within the

This chapter invites us to a marriage
oloirgtior It is a wedding in common
fe, two plain people having pledged each
other, hand and heart, and their friends
having come in for congratulation. The
joy is not the less because there is no pre-
tension. In each other they find all the
future they want. The daisy
on the table may mean as much as a score
of artistic garlands fresh from the hot-
house. When a daughter goes off from
home with nothing but a plain father’s
biessing and a plain mother’s love, she is
missed as much as though she were a prin-

cess. It seems hard, after the parents
have sheltered her for eighteen years that
in a few short months her affections
should have been carried off by another,
but her mother remembers how it was in
fier own case when she was young, and so
she braces up until the wedding has passed
and the banqueters are gone, and she has
a cry all alone.
Well, we are to-day at the wedding in
Cana of Galilee. Jesus and His mother
have been invited. It is evident that there
are more people there than were expected.
Either some people have « who wene
not invited or more invitations have been
sent out than it was supposed would be ac-
zepted. Of course there is not a sufficient
supply of wine. You know that there is
nothing more embarrassing to a house-
keeper than a scant supply. Jesus sees
the embarrassment, and He comes up im-
mediately to relieve it. He sces standing
six water pots. He orders the servants to
fill them with water; then He waves His
hand over the water, and immediately it
s wine—real wine. Taste of it and see for
yourselves; no logwood in it, no strychnine
in it, but first rate wine. I will not now
be diverted to the question so often dis-
cussed in my own country whether it is
right to drink wine. I am des ribing the
scene as it was. ‘When God makes wine
Ie makes the very best wine, and 130 gal-
ons of it standing around in these water
pots—wine so good that the ruler of the
east tastes it and says: “Why, this is
really better than anything we have had!
Thou hast kept the good wine until now.”
Beautiful miracle! A prize wus offered to
the person who shoul 1d write the best es-
say about the miracle in Cana. Long man-
uscripts were pr ted in the competition,
but a poet won the prize by just this one
line descriptive of the miracle: “The con-
scious water saw its God and blushed.”

place, that Christ has sympathy with

I learn also from this miracle that Christ
does things in abundance. I think a
small SH of wine would have made up
for the deficiency. I think certainly they
must have had enough tor half the guests.
One gallon of wine will do; certainly five
gallons will be enough; certainly ten. But
Jesus goes on, and He gives them thirty
gallons and forty gallons and fifty gallons
and seventy gallons and 100 g: and
130 gallons of the very best wine. 1t is

with golden pry, heaved back the black-

the lake laughed to the sun, and from hori-
zon to horizon, under the saffron sky, the

1 learn from this miracle that Christ is
not impatient with the luxuries of life. It
was not necessarv that they should have
that wine. Hundreds of pelle have heen
married without any wine. We do not read
that any of the other pro ye fell short.
When Christ made the wine it was not a
necessity. but a positive luxury. T do not
believe that He wants us to eat hard bread
and sleep on hard mattresses unless we
like them the best. I think, if circum
stances will allow, we have a right to the
luxuries of dress, thé luxuries of diet and
the luxuries of residence. There is no
more r-ligion in an old coat than in a new
one. We can serve God drawn by golden
