membership includes all the foremost
business men at Shanghai, met yester
day and adopted a protect against the
evacuation of Peking upntil a final set
tlement has been reached.
Washington. Sept. 5. A very inter
esting dispatch was received yester
day at the war department from Gen
eral Chaffee. It described the military
situation useminently satisfactory, and
would have leeu of greater value but
for the omission, common to all of the
other official dispatches from China,
of the date line. Taking into con
sideration the fact that a cablegram
was received by the state department
yesterday, dated live days ago, from
Conger, the conclusion was reached
that Ueueral Chaffee's dispatch also
was sent from Peking about Aug. 20
or 30. tk-neral Chaffee asks a very
Important question as to the with
drawal of the American troops. The
answer to that question, it is said,
might have leen found, in the state de
partment's answer to the Russian
evacuation proposition. But that an
swer had probably not reached Chaf
fee when he wrote his dispatch.
We Are to Follow Russia's Lend.
It was stated at the war depart
ment that our position was unchanged;
if Itussia withdraws her troops then
(leneral Chaffee will do the same. The
dispatch received from Minister Con
ger was gratifying to officials in that
It contained the date of Peking, Aug.
SO. s n integral part of the mes
sage, and this part In cipher. The text
of the Conger dispatch was not made
public, but it was authoritatively
etat-d that it did not change the sit
uation and was devoted somewhat to
expressions of opinion. It was also
authoritatively stated In this connec
tion that Minister Conger will remain
at his post until further orders.
New I'hase of LI Hung Chang-.
An official communication received
here through diplomatic channels
makes the rather surprising statement
that LA Hung Chang is at present us
ing all his efforts to have one or more
of the powers dlsseut from Russia's
proposition, believing that a rupture
of the allies will be of greater ad
vantage to China than any agreement,
even on the favorable basis put for
ward by Russia.
Troop to Winter In China.
Preparations are going forward for
wintering the troops in China. In or
der to ascertain what messages have
been received by General Chaffee the
department has instructed him to ac
knowledge the receipt of all dispatches
sent him, giving the date In which
they left here. It Is stated that as
the Peking date seems to be cut off
from all dispatches received from Gen
eral Chaffee, there is a possibility that
the Washington date has been removed
from dispatches sent him.
INDICTMENT OF THE CHINESE.
Infamy Said To lie of Record Charged
Against the "Yellow I'erll."
Shanghai. Sept. 5. Copyrighted,
1900, by the Associated Press. The
European community continues to de
mand the destruction of Peking and
the exemplary punishment of the offi
cials, deeming indemnity and paper
promises of new treaties inadequate.
Undoubtedly the information In detail
of massacres of foreigners daily re
ceived intlames this sentiment. The
dowager empress Is living in the ya
men at Tai-Yuau-Fu, in Shan-Si prov
ince. Fifty missionaries have been
slaughtered in that yamen under or
ders, practically in the presence of the
viceroy. Three were beheaded In the
Innr court, and the others were killed
barbarously in the outer courtyard.
Their bodies were thrown to the dogs.
The Associated Press representative
learns from official sources the facts
of the killing of several American wo
men missionaries. At the request of
the mission board the details were
withheld out of regard for the feelings
of the relatives of the murdered wom
en to isolated inland posts, think it im
portant that the facts should be known.
The names of the victims are with
held by request. Two of these women
were captured while attempting to
leave the stations where they were lo
cated, were led about the country
naked, repeatedly subjected to repeat
ed outrage and finally killed by a meth
od too revolting to be described.
Two other American women were
coming to tha coast with a party,
which a number of Chinamen followed
and stoned. The women fell exhausted
and were taken by the Chinamen Into
the presence of the local officials. They
were prostrated upon the execution
block and a feint was made of behead
ing them. One of them became hister
lcal and laughed, and, thinking her in
sane, the Chinese escorted her to the
coast because of their superstition re
garding the insane. On the journey,
however, the woman was repeatedly
outraced by ber escort. . The other wo
man, utter being exhibited naked for
some days and suffering the same In
dignity, was tortured to death by the
same methods as were practiced In the
other cases. Two Swedish missionary
women arrived at Shanghai after sim
ilar experiences, except that their lives
were spard.
The foregoing are matters of official
record.

Turners Relieve fbyslcal Caltnre Ought
to Re Introduced In the School.
The local turners, who for eomo time
havo been ptrlvioer to interest the
school board with a view of introduc
ine physical culture into the public
school?, are not entirely discouraged
at the refusal of The board to accept
their proposition at the meeting Mod
day night. The leaders of the society
have made a thorough, canvass of the
town, with the object to securing the
opinions of prominent people with re
gard to their plans, and they have met
with so much encourajrement-that they
are naturally very much loth to let the
matter drop. However, the society
has not as yet decided whether to make
another effort in this direction or to
wait another year.
In conversation with a' News re
norter. Otto "Wurl. tho instructor at
the Turner hall, stated that ho re
irratluil in not.A that tho hnrtrd Had rfl.
Ijected tho proposition, as ho thought a
trial would convince them that physi
cal culture' is of vital importance in
the public schools. Tho society un
doubtedly mado the board a liberal of
fer, agreeing to furnish a first-class in
structor, pay half his salary and also
furnish all tho necessary apparatus
free of chargo. Mr. Wurl thinks that
the additional expense would be very
little compared to the benefits to be de
rived from physical culture, and is
hopeful that some satisfactory agrre-
ment with the board can bo reached.

An accident happened at the fij-h
commission builuiog on the lair
grounds yesterday that resulted in the
death of tho big 168 pound catfish.
While Sumner Bunnell and Sam Ar
buthnot were lifting the big hh from
the tank in a seine at about 8 a. m, intending-
to place him in an aqo;ir!ura,
he slipped through tho netting and fell
to the floor. Mr. Bunnell was tho first
to reach him. He was struc k by the
tail of the fish, throwing him through
a large glass aquarium and causing
him to receive several cuts from the
broken glass. It. S. Oborfeldor,I ). W.
Barnes and Adam Sloup arrived about
that time and assisted in getting the
fish into water. Mr. Barnes was struck
by the fish and tho blow sent him
against the wall with such force that
he was injured and a phyticiau had to
be called to dress his wound. Mr. Ober-
felder had had considerable experience
with the big catfish a few weeks ago,
and he then learned that the only way
to handle him was to strike him a
blow that would stun him. lie got a
piece of scantling, 2x4, and struck tho
fish on the head. Tho 0-h was then
captured and placed in the aquarium
but he died about two hours afterward.
The monster was undoubtedly tho
largest fish ever exhibited in Ne
braska. Anothor largo ICS-pound cat
fish arrived today from South Bend
and has been placed on exhibition at

BEHGE TALKS AT ELMAVOOl)
Be Blake a Strong Plea for Vote In a
Republican Stronghold.
The Elmwood correspondent of the
State Journal gives tha following ac
count of the Berge meeting at that
place Tuesday evening:
"George W. Barge, the triplet nomi
nee for congressman from this district
spoke in the opera house last night to
an audience of two Hundred people
Mr. Berge arrived on the train at 10:14
a. m. No one was at the depot to meet
him, and after g&zing thoughtfully
around tor a few moments he pro
ceeded to walk to the hotel, carrying
his overcoat and valise. The local
committee spread themselves in an
nouncing a cornet band for the meet
ine. but it failed to show up. The
speaker was billed to commence at 8
o'clock, but tha meeting was not called
to order until 8:40, when the chairman
announced a song by the "Elmwood
Fossils No. 2," a male quartet of two
republicans and two fusionists, organ
ized for the purpose of singing at cam
paign meetings of both parties. The
quartet failed to respond, and after
watting for five minutes for them to
come upon the stage, the chairman an
nounced that tney wouia listen to a
soner by the Elmwood glee club. The
singers then responded with two selec
tions. The chairman announced that
as the house was slow in filling up they
would listen to some more music by
the glee club.
"At 9 o'clock the speaker was intro
duced and commenced his address by
apologizing to the audience for the
bad state of his voice, saying that like
a certain parrot once upon a time, he
realized that he had been talking too
much. He launched forth into a spasm
of words against trusts, but he failed
to mention the ice trust and what the
democrats did for trusts in the last
session of congress. imperiaTsm. mili
tarism and several other isms. He ad
vertised that part of bis speech would
be in German, but us there were not to
exceed six or eiht Germans present.
his Dutch speech was only about a
dozen words in length. Ha acknowl
edged there was abundant prosperity
and plenty of money in circulatio- ,but
would not give republicans any credit
for these conditions all providence.
He is a fair talker, but his address
probably did not make a vote for the
cause of fusion, and tnis precinct is
sure to roll up over a hundred majority
for the republican ticket."
Ask for Information.
Governor Poynter has received nu-
morous letters irora owners oi live
stock in regard to diseases among ani
mals, says the State Journal. Some of
the owners ask for information in re
gard to diseases and others demand
the services of a state vetinarian. As
there are no funds available for such
work, the governor is obliged to refer
the letters to Dr. Peters of the univer
sity or Dr. A nderson of Seward. The
latter has been asked by the govornor
if he would answer calls from the peo
ple and depend upon the next legisla
ture to reimburse him for his services.
Dr. Peters gives his services freely
when he can take time from his regu
lar duties. The governor has agreed
to approve any reasonable bills Dr.
Anderson may bring before the legis
lature if the doctor will consent to
answer the numerous calls. Hogs as
well as cattle in the western part of
the state are afflicted and many have
died. However, reports of the disease
are said to be exaggerated.
