Two of thése women were captured while attempting to leave the stations where they were located, were led about | the country naked, were repeatedly out- | raged and finally killed by a method too | revolting to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party, which a number of | Chinese followed and stoned. The women fell exhausted and were taken by the Chi- se into the presence of the local offi- clals. They were prostrated upon the ex- | ecution block and a feint was made of beheading them. One of them became | bysterical and laughed, and thinking her insane the Chinese escorted her to the coast because of their superstition re- garding the insane. On the journey, how- ever, the woman was repeatedly crimi- nally assaulted by her escort. The other | woman, after beinz e oited naked for some days and suffering assault by sev- eral men, was tortured to death by the | same shameful methods as were prac- ticed in the other cases. Two Swedish misslonary women arrived at Shanghai after similar experiences, except that thefr lives were spared. The foregoing are matters of officlal recora. Murdered at Chuchau. The fourteen English missionaries, in- cluding six women and four children, who | were murdered at Chuchau, in the pro- | vince of Chekiang, according to the story of a Spanish priest who escaped, were killed with hayforks and anclent spears | by the magistrate’s bodyguard, and their naked bodies were hanged from trees.

LI PROMISED RUSSIA THREE MORE PROVINCES LONDO; Sept, 4:15 a. m.—To-day’s dispatches from Shanghai and Tientsin refer to the hopeless confusion and mis- management of the Chinese telegraph probably account in part for the delay in getting news from Peking. Another reason for the doubtiess is the anxiety the capital. No effort is being spared by them to bring this about. Their idea is at should the foreign Ministers In Pe- be allowed free communication with their governments the full extent of the complicity of the Chinese Government in the anti-foreign outrages would be re- vealed and would lead the allies to decide to remain until retribution had been ex- acted. All telegrams have to be conveyed by courier from Tsinan Fu to Peking, and probably all cipher dispatches have been stopped. According to Shanghai advices L{ Hung Chang wired the Chinese Minis- ter in London, Sir Chih Shen Lo Feng Luh, as follows: “Qur St. Petersburg Minister has per- suaded Russia to leave Peking. You are useless if you cannot persuade England.” It is asserted t Earl Li has promised Russia three Manchurian provinces if she secures the withdrawal of the allied forces from Peking and favorable peace terms from the powers. Both the Empress Dowager and 14 Hung Chang are said to be lavishing money to attain these ob- Jects. There is go sign yet of any decision on part of the powers regarding the Ru oposals. The Japanese papers un- reservedly condemn the idea of evacuat- ing Peking and hint that there is a secret compact between Germany and Russia to e detriment of Great Britain and Japan. The Moscow correspondent of the Stan- dard, referring to the horrible accounts of Russian brutality at Blagovestchensk after the bombardment, says: “It is rumored that the Cossacks merci- lessly butchered men, women and chil- dren in the villages on the Amur River and flung their corpses into the stream. These stories are confirmed by an officlal order just issued, couched in a mild note, admitting the massacres, which are de- scribed as caused by exasperation against the Chinese for beginning hostilities, and threatening to utmost severity of martial law for any future violence to unarmed, peaceful Chinese, at the same time order- ing the police throughout the Amur dis- trict to compel the town and country pop- ulztions to drag the Chinese corpses vut of the river and bury or burn them in or- der to prevent an outbreak of infection.” The correspondent adds: “This order reads like a free warrant for the massa- cre of any Chinaman whom the Cossacks may provoke into a quarrel or prove to be in possessicn of arm REBELLION WILL SPREAD IN SOUTHERN PROVINCES Special Cable to The Call and New York Her- ald. Copyright, 190, by the Herald Pub- lishing Compan HONGKONG, Sept. 4—Influential na- tives state that the flame of rebellion has been fanned in the southern provinces and predict a tremendous conflagration within a month. Placards and pamphlets are being circulated in Canton and pro- vinces intimating that the allies are thor- cughly routed. The feeling against for- eigners is bursting the bounds of official control. The majority of the mission sta- tions in Kwangtung have been either de- stroyed or looted. Native Christians are terribly abused.

One powerful organization is distributing thou- sands of copies of a reform appeal in th British colonies. The memorandum ha been signed by 200 names for presentation to the British Minister, imploring assist- ance of the reform government. It recom- mends establishing Nanking as the cap- ital and the selection of enlightened Chi- nese officlals to administer the govern- ment with forelgn advisers. The people are disheartened at the re- ported intention of the powers to with- draw from China.

LAYING CABLE FROM SHANGHAL TO CHEFU WASHINGTON, Sept. 4—The War De- partment to-day reccived information that the work of laving a cable from Shanghai to Chefu had commenced. It js believed that unless some accident is en- countered the cable will be completed and in operation within a week. This ought to make communication between Wash- ington and our officials In China much more expeditious. In order to ascertain what messages have been received by General Chaffee the department to-day instructed him to acknowledge the receipt of all dispatches sent to him, giving the date on which they left here. It is stated, as the Peking date has been cut from all dispatches recefved from General Chaffee, there is a possibil- ity that the Washington date has been re- | houses of the English-speaking Chinamen.

J. Bryan, and United States Senator Gecrge Wellington, whe was elected as a Republican. Hoth these distinguished gentlemen were in good voice and both spoke with their accus- tomed force. Senator Wellington's speech marked his formal renunciation of party tles on account of the issues growing out of the war with Spain. He had for this reason prepared his speech with care and he read it from typewritten manusecript. Mr. Bryan spoke without notes, and he appeared at the meet.ng almost immedi- ately atter the arrival ol the special train which had brought him acr: the State of West Virgima and thus far into the State of Maryland. Tnhe journey had been an arduous one, covering, including the trip trom Chicago, about twenty-four hours ot railroad niding. Still Mr. Bryan appeared in excellentiy good order and he ke with his customary vim and vigor. he journey of the President:al candi- date across the State was not devoid of labor for him, for, though he left the train | but once on the journey, he made a num- ber of brief addresses irom the rear plat- form of the hindmost car. This car was especially adapted to Mr. Bryan's pur- poses, being a composite coach, including sitting room, sleeping bert and kitchen. It was one of two coaches comprising the | train supplied for the tour of Colonei Mc- Graw, Democratic national e for West Virginia. The train at Benwood immediately after crossing the Ohio River about noon, and on it to recelve him Mr. Bryan found McGraw and Colonel L. V. Baughman, the per- sonal representative of Senator Gorman, national committeeman for this State. Gocd time was made across the Alle- ghanies, and_notwithstanding the numer- ous stops Cumberland was reached at 7:45 o'clock. Beginning at Benwood, Mr. Bryan spoke in succession at Cameron, Mannington, Fairmont, Grafton, Deer Park and Pied- mont. He also made very brief remarks | at a few other places. At each place there were goodsized crowds and the can- didate was cordially 3reeled. The speeches of the day manifested a somewhat greater | tendency to discuss economic questions | than had been shown on former occasions, At Cameron he referred especially to the Republican plea of prosperity, saying that | the workingman wanted not ‘only a “fuli | dinner pail,” but much more besides. He harged significantly that the cost of ar- ticles necessary to the existence and com- fort of the workingmen had been put out of proportion to the increased price of labor. During the day Mr. Bryan's attention was called to an extract from a New York Republican newspaper saying that Mr. Bryan had made more money out o1 the oat crop raised on his Lincoln farm | the present season than the entire farm | had cost him, putting the resuit at $1400 | on 120 acres of land. Commenting upon this statement Mr. Bryan said: The entire farm contains only thirty acres and cost me nearly $4000, although the land is Tot worth that much to-day. Instead of having 120 acres in oats I had only five acres in oats and the oats have not vet been threshed. They Wil hardly yleld forty bushels to the acre, Oats, instead of being 30 cents el in Ne- braska, are worth 21 cents In Chicago. My cat crop will not bring me over $40. The five facres ugon which the oats were raised cost me a little more than $100 an acre, so that the gross as boarded | | votes among the agricultural class. income this year will be less than § per cent on the original investment. After taking out the cost of seed, cultivation, harvesting and thresh- ing the income will be reduced to less than 5 per cent. The Republican papers use my farm to illustrate the prosperous condition of the farm- er. If my experience is a fair illustration of what is going on in the country it is not strange that the Republican party is losing The Re- publicans point to the farmer when his crop is good, but make no mention of the fact that when his crop fails he not only loses his in- come but loses the money put into the crop. At Deer Park Mr. Bryan left the train for a visit to Mr. McGraw’s country home. This was his only departure from the new rule laid down for him by Jones that he shall not go away from the cars to make Incidental speeches. stop at Deer Park consumed about an hour and a half, and the journey to Cum- berland was not resumed until about 6:30 o'clgck. The principal meeting here was held at the Academy of Music. beginning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Bryan entered the hal a few minutes before that hour and was received with a volume of applause, which fairly shook the building. 'Fhe hall wa crowded to its dome and the meeting was a very enthusiastic one throughout. SOME PRONOUNCED HISSES FOR SENATOR WELLINGTON Utterances of the Sore-Headed Mary- land Statesman Who Opposed McKinley. CUMBERLAND, Md., Sept. 4.—Senator Wellington made the first speech of the evening. He was listened to with inter- est and was frequently applauded, al- though at times there were very pro- nounced hisses. The Maryland Senator lost no time in declaring his opposition to the present administration and his deter- mination to suppert Mr. Bryan. He had taken this position, he said, because of his views upon the Spanish war and its consequences, and because of hls oppo: sition to imperialism. He said: As to the governmental policy President Mc- Kinley has developed I was compelled to liffe from it at several points and gave evidence of my disagreement In the speeches delivered by me during the past three years upon the ficor of the Senate touching the Spanish-Ameri- can war, the Philippine Islands, Porto Rlco and South African affairs. Upon the prin- ciples therein advanced I stand to-day. I gave friendly warning to the Republican party that if they became responsible for certain policies 1 would not follow. Therefore, the party hay. ing become so responsible, I am compelled to refuse submission to its behests and to range myself against it for conscience. 1 cannot see my way clear to Inveigh against imperialism, against the unconstitutionality of the Porto Rico tariff bill, the unrighteousness of attempting to enslave the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands and the dishonor of breaking our pledge to Cuba, and then, because of the mandate of a sinister influence which dominates the President, forswear my convictions, set at naught my declarations and do as did Senator Hoar and_others, appeal to the past and the future. The past is dead. I cannot change it. No appeal will reach its deaf ear. The fu- ture Is not in my keeping, and it is not in my pewer to fashion it. Therefore I am here to- night_to reiterate the convictions I voiced in the Senate and record my opposition to the principles of President McKinley as evidenced in his foreign policy, and with all the vehe- mence of a positive nature protest against the violatlon of the principles upon which our Government is founded; against the desecration of the constitution and the reversal of the pelicy which has given us a century and a quarter of national prosperity such as the his- tory of man hath not recorded in any age or clime. I am here to-night to declare my unalterable antagonism to the policy of fmperialism and my opposition to the representatives of that viclous principle. It Is an occasion of more than ordinary importance for any man to an- | tagonize the political party which he has served for a quarter of a century: to which he has given the best years o which he has achieved success. It bitterness and yituperation. The have already opened upon me and there will be much unpleasant work to do. I have deter- mined, however, to do that which is best in the interest of my country, and I do so In the same spirit which was manifested by Lin- ccin when he stood upon the steps of the na- tional Capitol and in his inauguration address sald: “With malice toward rone, with char- ity for all, with firmness to do the right as God gives me the power to see the right,” I will do my whole duty. and In the performance of that duty I find It necessary not omly to Crpose the re-election of McKinley, but to emphasize that position by supporting Mr. Pryan, who In this election stands for free government according to the constitution. Senator Wellington, continuing, said the natlon was at the parting of the ways and must decide for all time for weal or woe, and he believed the present tendency of the Republican party was full of inevit- able dangers and disasters. d not believe there was any danger of material changes In_the tariff and financial laws in case of Mr. Bryan's election. “In the last Congress money measure became a law. esa questions are settled for the present at least. There is no immediate danger of an attack upon the tariff. notwithstanding the fact that the Republican party has sur- rendered the idea of protection.

Reference to Admiral Schley -caused loud applause, though not so much atten- tion was given to the zssertion that * gentle Roosevelt was saved from utter annihilation by a colored resiment which swept_over and beyond him."” As Wellington proceeded in abuse of President McKinley the signs of disa: proval began again to mingle with the ap- plause. There were occasional cries of ‘Put him out.” One voice velled, ‘‘Ben dict Arnold,” and another called for “16 to 1" . Wellington declared ‘President McKinley is but the pro- consul of the English Queen in the man- agement of American affairs.” OPENING OF THE MISSOURI CAMPAIGN SEDALIA. Mo., Sept. 4.—The opening of the Republican State campaign in Sedalia | to-day was held under most favorable eumstances as to weather and attend- ance, nearly 10,000 people coming to town and the day being perfec he parade of marching clubs, delegations and mounted rough ride ade a fine exhibition. There were sixteen bands in line, exclusive of drum and bugle corps, the total number of paraders exceeding 3000. The attendance at the afternoon meet- ing in the park was very large. Congress- man Bartholdt of St. Louis presided. On the platform were members of the Na- and State Republican committees and other notable guests. Governor Shaw was the orator of the da; Joseph Flory, Republl Governor, and J. R. Burton of Kansas also spoke. An overflow meeting was held by the colored people just south of the main speaker's stand. The night parade of flambeau clubs was brilllant. he evening meetings which were held on_the.
