The diplomatic world is naturally very much stirred, especially owing to the contra- dictory reports regaming the attitude aken by the Empress Dowage Even the Ja nese and Chinese legations appear doubtful as to the exact condition of affairs. At the Chinese legation much | uneasiness prevails. The explanation given by the officers there is that the Boxers are simply outlaws, who receive no countenance from the Government and are ill treating their own countrymen as well as foreigners. Members of the legation, whose con- < intercourse with Europeans has rought them more into line with Western icas, admit guardedly that the general situation in China is hardly satisfactory and that there is room there for beneficial reforms, but they are far from pleased at the recent developments which have given Russia an oportunity to play what prob- ably will eventually become a predominat- ing part in the much-feared intervention.

The Sudden Discovery of a Rich Mine Near Nortons Bay the Cause of the Crime. Eaeiatl o MINNEAPOLIS, June 16.—A special to the Times from Seattle says: According to advices from Nortons Bay, four of a party of five men have been murdered and ‘the fifth is wandering in the wilder- ness demented or fallen a prey to savages or wild beasts. The party consisted of Oliver Woodruff Scott of Tacoma, Dr. A. A. Keyser of Minneapolis, W. W. Wright of Sar. Francisco, T. B. Haines of San Francisco and George Beckholdt, also said | to_be from Minneapolis. | The men, while working an old Russian placer digging, as gleaned from a diary | found on the body of Scott, found gold in abundance and the sight drove them out of their heads. Then the story of murder began. Keyser was the first victim. He had been stabbed while asleep. Wright was suspected, and, shouldering his gun, left camp. A few hours later Beckholdt was shot in the back while talking with his companions. Scott and Haines pursued Wright for two days and cnptures him, but Halnes was wounded and Wright was shot fatally and died two Jays later. On May 15 Scoit's body was found fifty miles from the mouth of the Ungatulik River, which flows into Nortons Bay. He had been murdered. As Haines, the sole survivor, had not been seen in any of the settlements it is belleved he perished in his wanderings in the forest. The story of the murders was taken to TUngatulik and a party headed by Herbert Murray is now endeavoring to locate the rich Russian diggings which the party located. Pretty precise directions were found in Scott’s notebook and they anticipate no difficulty in finding the ground. -REPORTED BURNED R Continued From Page Thirteen. of the rallroad near Lang Fang has been | interrupted in its advance to the relief of | the troops.

It is held that under the terms of our treaty with | | China, not only are American mission- | aries entitled - to” the protection of the | | Chinese Government, but even their na- | tive converts. According to the doctrine | that we have lald down in the case of | | Turkish missionary claims, the Chinese Government, can be held responsible for | outrages committed against American citizens, even in times of rioting, if the Government troops, its agents, fail to re- spond to a call or participate themselves in the rioting. This is said to be the case with the Boxers disturbances. The par- ticular treaty provision covering the cases | of the American missionaries' and their native converts is unique. It is contained | in article 29 of the treaty of 1858 and is as follows: ““The practice of the Christian religlon, as professed by the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, is recognized as teaching them to do good and to do to others as they would they should do unto them. Hereafter those who quietly pro- fess and teach these doctrines shall not be harassed or persecuted on account of their faith. Any person, whether citizen of the United States or Chinese convert, who, according to these tenets, peaceably teaches and practices -the principles of | Christianity shall in ne case be interfereq | with or molested.” It is learned in authoritative quarters that the negatiations relative to the Chinese crisis have led to a discussion of a larger subject of so adjusting and har- monizing the action of the several powers interested as to maintain complete equilibrium and assure the continued peace of the world. The French authori- ties have been particularly active in urg- | ing that one of the requisities of any ac- | tion was to see that it tended toward malntaining the balance between those in- terested in the Bast, and there is reason to believe the representations have had | considerable influence in keeping any one | of the several nations from putting a pre- ponderating military force in China, a course that would open the way to a gen- eral international disturbance. ACTIVITY AMONG BRITISH WARSHIPS | 16.—The IKONG, Britlsh g cruiser Terrible, with troops, | sailed for Tientsin this morning. Captain- Percy M.

Mrs. Collins gives her experience with Peruna in the fol- lowing words: “The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.—Gentlemen: After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition, even after the doctor called me cured.
