The mob is said to have attacked the pal- ace of the Viceroy. All dispatches out of Peking are cen- | sored in the interest ot the Empress. The determination of the forelgn Minis- | ters to increase the garrison at Peking leads to a belief in foreign circles in Tien- tsin and Shanghai that the powers will | never leave the Chinese capital, but will make China another Egypt. Details have been received from Shang- hai regarding the recent murders of rail- way engineers by Boxers. It seems that a party of thirty, including six ladles and one child, left Pao Ting Fu in twelve boats under military escort. After tra- versing fifty miles in safety they missed thelr way. The boats grounded and the Boxérs opened fire upon the unfortunate occupants. using both rifles and wooden cannon. The engineers returned the fire effectively and the party landed. One lady got separated from the main body. They were brutally Kkilled. The survivors formed a square with those able to bear arms outside and the women inside and made off toward Tientsin. They traveled three and a half days, fighting all the way. More than 2000 cartridges were expended and ammunition was run- ning short. They estimated that they | killed at least a hundred Boxers. The men behaved like heroes, carrying the women and children. One lady of the party was close to maternity. Twelve miles from Tientsin three men of a party disappeared and were mur- dered.: The survivors eventually met the rescue party and, much exhausted, were escorted to Tientsin. Sir Claude Macdonald, British Minis- ter in Peking, sent the following telegram to Shanghai on June 7: “The movement against the foreigners, which has been allowed to grow to such an extent, has resulted in the burning of raflway stations and in the interruption of railway communication for five days. Two British missionaries and several for- eign missionaries have been murdered in the district near Peking. In the country round numbers of converts have been mu dered and chapels have been pillaged and destroyed, while in the capital itself Brit- ish missionarics have been obliged to leave their houses and take refuge the legation, which is defended by sev- enty-fiye marines. ““The Chinese Government is affected by these events so far as to send high offi- cials to parley with the Boxers, but it does not show any intention of summarily suppressing them. Probably it still has power to do so, but: the throne is still strongly influenced by sympathy with the movement and the spirit of the troops \ - A Russian | CHICAGO, June 11.—"It is the general belief in Japan that there will be war be- tween that country and Russla,” said Dr. R. Fujisawa, a professor in the Imperial University of Tokio. Japan, who passed through Chicago on the way to the Paris | Exposition. Dr. Fujisawa continued: “While there seems to be but littie | doubt that the differences between Russia and Japan must ultimately be settled by war, it is impossible to predict when the war may begin. Russia has pursued a| course which can be construed only as an intended provocation to war. “Of eourse the utmost seérecy prevails in official Japan as to the plans of the Government, and officially there is noth- ing to indicate that war is expected. | “Work on the Japanese navy is being pushed'as rapidly as possible. It is given | out that the completed navy will be no |larger than will be necessary for a nation which is growing as is Japan to protect her commerce and maintain her dignity | among the powers. { ““The suddennes and rapidity with which the work was begun and is being pushed, however, indicate that other and almost | immediate use will be found for it.

The regular car left Oakland Beach on its trip to the turn-out at Warwick sta- tion. Suddenly there flashed before the motorman's vision a car sweeping toward him. The curve seemed to lend additional speed to the cars. Quick as a flash Motorman Hanlon shut off his power and applied his air brakes, which stopped the car instantly. The down-bound car came on in spite of the efforts of the motorman to check its speed. There was a crash, and the cars tele- scoped. The Oakland Beach car tore its way through the other car, crushing all before it like an eggshell. On to the fifth seat went the bumper of the up-bound car, carrying death and injury in its wake. Motorman Burroughs was instantly killed. The scenes that followed were heart rending. Under the wreckage were inani- mate bodies, wiNe groans and shrieks of the injured filled the air. Those who were not infured were frantic in their efforts to locate their companions. Calls were gent out for assistance, and & corps of doctors were soon at the scene. Willing hands helped to extricate the in- jured, who were conveyed to the Warwick Station. Two cars were equipped with cots and doctors, and istants were dis- patched from this city to the wreck. Removal of Dead and Injured. The wounded were placed on the cars and eonveyed to the Elmwood station, where ambulances from the hospital were in waiting. Lewis C. Sanborn, who was injured internally. died on his way to the city. Mrs. Fred Andrews, a daughter of Mr. Sanborn, was conveyed to the hos- pital in a precarious condition. Her in- juries consisted of an arm and foot crushed. Her spine was also injured. She is reported dilirious and is not expected to live. The 15-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Baker was killed. His parents escaped with slight injuries. The fourth victim was Arthur G. Lis- comb. Among the passengers was Lieutenant- Governor Charles D. Kimball.

While the list of injured is now num- bered at twenty-six. there are many per- sons whose injuries cannot yet be dete: mined. At the hospital, where eight of the injured were conveyed, it is stated that it is expected that two will not survive the night. The down-bound car was not equipped with air brakes and hand brakes were not equal to the emergency, and, in fact. had it been supplied with them it is a qurstion whether the car could have been ¥ op) in time.
